Lucian and Arabella What Was Lost
Chapter 28He never believed he could fall in love. It never happened before, so how was it that it happened now? Gabriel loved before, many times from the time the earth was new and before. It was his nature; up until today, he didn’t fight against his nature.“Gabriel!” Mother demanded, “Are you listening to me?” Gabriels head jerked up at the sound of Mother’s voice.“Yes, Mother, of course I am listening.” Gabriel gave Mother his best ‘I’m innocent’ look.Mother wasn’t fooled, she was never fooled. She only let Gabriel get away with most of his foolishness because he was one of her favorites. “I asked you a question, Gabriel. Why did you have a cone of silence surrounding your cabin?” Mother looked sternly at Gabriel.“I did it to keep Sybil away. That brat shows up where ever she pleases. The cone helped to keep her from finding me. When you send me away like that, I prefer my privacy.” Gabriel was good at coming up with things on the spot, He could only hope Mother bought it.Mo
Lucian and Arabella Do I Love This Man
Chapter 29Lucian, Lucas and Jack stood in the middle of the small cave. The fire in the pit was cold; it was obvious that it had not been lit in a while. Where could Arabella have gone? The only way out was through the front of the cave and the three men were camped out there; they would have seen her.A stir of air floated across Lucian’s face. He recognized that feeling. Lucian turned toward where the air was coming from. Facing the back of the cave, Lucian watched as Arabella stepped out of the shadows.Lucian was cautious as he walked toward Arabella. He did not know what mood would possess her and did not want to startle her. Arabella’s eyes lit on Lucas and Jack first. She smiled at them, a smile that lit her whole face. Lucian watched, fascinated as the emotions rose in her face. He did not believe he had ever seen her look as beautiful as she looked now. Her eyes finally come to rest on Lucian. She did not frown at him as she usually did when she saw him.Arabella was so happ
Lucian and Arabella Adora
Chapter 30‘To understand a God, one must be a God.’ Gabriel repeated the mantra over and over as he guarded the gates between the heavens and Paradise. Only a few tried him today. On a good day, at least two dozen fought for entrance.Most who ended up in Paradise realized that it was only a staging area before they went on to worlds they earned, or were condemned to, while on earth. Maybe it was because they could look over the edge and see Hell clearly was what caused the poor souls so much distress. Gabriel shook his head but gladly rose to the challenge when another such patron decided to try his patience. Everyone was afraid of Hell.The hours here were endless. Time ceased to have meaning on this plane of existence. It could have been hours or weeks that he saw Arabella last. His whole being cried out for the beautiful and alluring woman. Never in all his life times had such a creature captured his imagination so throughly. Here he stood, guarding one of the most important port
Lucian and Arabella Life on Earth
Chapter 31Adora ended up spending a week with Arabella. In some ways, she, Arabella seemed to be lonely and enjoyed the company. As for Adora, she was only too happy to stay with Arabella. It could not have worked out better. Adora wanted to know who this woman was that she could capture the thoughts of her man. Gabriel didn’t know he was her man, but after meeting him centuries past, she had eyes for no one but him. Her stay with Arabella was an eye opener.Arabella, for her part, was happy to have another woman to bond with. She had a few friends, but none were close enough to confide in. She found it easier to talk to a stranger than to someone who knew her.Adora was a strange woman to be sure. She had strange mannerisms that reminded Arabella of old movies she had watched where the women were chaste. Adora did not seem like a chaste woman to Arabella. Still, Arabella enjoyed Adora’s company. It would seem that Adora had traveled over time but had not done so recently. This was he
Lucian and Arabella The Morning After
Chapter 32Adora’s head spun as the alcohol hit her system hard. She grinned at Lucian as Arabella grabbed her arm and led her to a bar stool. Almost sliding off, Adora grabbed Lucian’s arm to steady herself. Giggling, she slapped the bar and ordered a refill.Arabella watched helplessly as Adora took the drink the bartender placed in front of her and swallowed it in one gulp. Arabella never saw someone down a full drink in one gulp before. She was amazed Adora was still up right.As the two women interacted, Lucian watched Arabella closely. That she did not send him on his way right away was a good sign. Arabella did not talk to him again after he left the cabin when they brought her home. He always had high hopes that she would forgive him for whatever trespass he may have caused against her. He was still unsure what that might be.Adora looked at Lucian with bleary eyes and thought to herself, ‘He is almost as beautiful as Gabriel.’ Giggling, she hiccuped and started to slid off he
Lucian and Arabella She is Not Lost
Chapter 33Gabriel stood in front of Fate. He was not afraid of her, exactly; call it more like he was leary of all the women in the realm. “Do you know where Mother is? I would like an audience with her.”Fate stared at Gabriel making Gabriel wonder if she was even going to answer him. Finally, “It is not for you to wonder where she is. If it’s important, I can help you. Otherwise, you will have to wait on Mother and I don’t know when she will be back.”Fate’s voice sounded like bells ringing on a wind chime; sweet on the ears for the first little while but quickly becomes annoying. Right now, for Gabriel, it was annoying. Adora was missing, had been for about three weeks and Gabriel was becoming concerned. He wasn’t sure he wanted to trust Fate. That woman could be vicious if she thought you were wasting time.“Adora of Lost Paradise is missing. I am starting to worry that a demon may have gotten her which leaves her gate open. It would cause a big stir if the gate is left open.” Ga
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel
Chapter 34“Hey, Adora. Where have you been? I’ve looked all over for you.” Gabriel rushed to catch up with Adora as she passed his gate.Adora smiled faintly as she looked down at Gabriel’s hands. “You gonna whack me with that, Gabriel?”Gabriel’s gaze followed Adora’s. In his hands, he still held the Sword of Truth. He forgot to put it down when Adora walked by. He rushed back to the gate after raising one finger to tell Adora to wait for him. She did not. Adora continued walking to her quarters. Gabriel had to rush just to keep up with the woman.Adora sighed when Gabriel caught up. She did not want to lie to him, but Mother forbade her to tell anyone. For all of It’s purity, jealously was one emotion that The Realm had in common with earth. For centuries Mother tried to weed it out, but it was stubborn and would not go. There were a few that was jealous of Mother’s affection for Arabella. All Adora could do was tell Gabriel a partial truth.“I’ve been busy doing Mother’s bidding. Y
Lucian and Arabella Feel So Right
Chapter 35Arabella stared into Gabriels eyes. Adora coughed to remind the two that they were not alone. She glared at Gabriel when he glanced at her and grinned. “I think Gabriel was just leaving.”Suprised, Arabella looked at Adora. In the short time she had know Adore, never had she been rude to anyone. Now here she was being rude to this wonderful hunk of a man.“Oh, no, I don’t have to leave. Matter of fact, I’ll stay around and walk you both back to your vehicles.”“We take an Uber to get us home, Gabriel. No need for you to go out of your way for us.” Again, Adora was rude. Arabella could only shake her head. Maybe the two weren’t that good of friends.“Better still, Adora. I’ll drive you home.” Gabriel was back to looking at Arabella. At the cabin, they had no problem communicating, yet now, he could not think of a thing to say to her. He dreamed of this moment so many times and now that it was here, Gabriel remained tongue tied.Arabella looked at Adora, trying to figure out w

Lucian and Arabella Rising Sun
Chapter 101Arabella never called.Arabella lifted her head to the rising sun. She couldn’t remember how many nights she stayed up with one grieving person or another. At times, she wondered if she even helped these people. The Borders people were using her in may ways. One of them being this, midwife. Until now, she had never delivered before. She lost count of how many she had delivered. They were constantly on the move from one village to another.“You look like shit, Ari. Go, get some rest, I’ll clean up here.” Mac had been with Borders for many years and in that time he had been many things. Throwing Ari into it without her realizing the extent of their needs. It didn’t set well with Mac. Arabella was a nice and gentle woman and had a way of putting the patients at ease. Her help was greater than she realized.“It’s okay, Mac. If we both do it we can both get some rest. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you driving yourself half to death.” Arabella replied. “You push yourself too har
Lucian and Arabella Alone Again
Chapter 100Arabella sat in front of the cave one last time before she had to leave for the airport. She felt a great sadness when she gazed at the rubble that was once her place of peace. So much over the years was soaked into the rocks and ground. It was a place where she felt close to her mother and father. She felt a touch of loneliness when her thoughts turned toward Lucian. Too much time was lost to them. The years separated them. Adrian separated them. Arabella stood up and started the hike back to the cabin. It was time to leave.Arabella didn’t rush home. Thorn walked with her and she savored his presence. “I don’t know when I’ll be back. Jack promised to take care of the place and check up on you once in a while.” Thorn cocked his head to the side as he listened to Arabella. He understood more than people knew. He had his own large pack to take care of but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t miss the walks and talking she did with him. Over the years his pack grew to the size it wa
Lucian and Arabella A New World
Chapter 99The sound of the rock slide echoed down the canyon until it lost strength and force. Arabella stood in shock as her beloved cave was no more. In the distance she could hear the forlorn howl of Thorn and his pack. The forest itself became silent as though it were waiting for something more than it had already received, Arabella felt as though the world had stopped.The sound of a living forest returned slowly and Thorn’s pack could no longer be heard. Arabella knew it would be a shock to her system but after Ella blocked her abilities before, it showed Arabella that she could handle it. The mental agony could not be avoided but that too would fade as time went on.After the dust settled, Arabella looked around the forest and clearing where the cave once stood. Somehow, it all looked brand new. It was as though she had entered a new world. The shape and color of the leaves and pine needles on the trees took on a whole new meaning to her minds eye. They were sharper and the col

He took it on as a full time job to try and romance her and felt Arabella’s heart was finally starting to soften toward him.Lucas and Lauren were back from their honeymoon and ready to open their own practice together. The pair decided to make Boulder their permanent home. Lucas grew up there and was delighted to show Lauren all of the entertainment and fun there was in Colorado. Everyone but Arabella settled down to the rhythm of their lives.“Do you fully understand what you are asking for Arabella?” Selene asked her for what seemed like the hundredth time. “Once done, it cannot be undone.” Frustration was evident in Selene’s voice as she glared at Arabella. “You were given a few
Lucian and Arabella Time
Chapter 97During the wedding set up and the wedding itself, Arabella ran on pure adrenaline. Now that it was finally over, Arabella had nothing else to give. Exhausted, she lay down on one of the benches that lined the pavilion. After much searching, that was where Lucian found her, sound asleep. Gently, Lucian picked up Arabella in his arms to carry her to her room.Arabella stirred slightly but did not awaken as Lucian strode toward the cabin. It felt so good to have her in his arms again, even if it was when she was sleeping. He orginally planned to propose to Arabella that evening, after the wedding. But decided that it was not the right time. This day belonged to Lucas and Lauren alone, Besides, he wanted to make it all special for the woman he loved, for his sweet Bella.Arabella awoke the next morning, still in her wedding outfit and laying on top of her bed with no memory of how she got there. The sun was peeking over the mountain tops as she made her way to the kitchen in se

The young ones decided that they did not want to be married on the Island but at home on the mountain side.The wedding itself would take place on the west lawn that was large enough to hold around a thousand people, various tents full of food and drink.One tent would hold a memory lane of Lucas and Lauren as they grew from toddlers to graduate students. Thorn kept his distance as the wedding plans ramped up.Lucian worked with the wedding planner. They mapped out on paper where everything would be placed on the west lawn. There was more than enough room for them to be extravagant. Lucian mapped where he wanted the pavilion for dancing to stand. It backed up to the rose garden near the north side. The smell of the blooms would help create the romantic atmosphere he was aiming for. Lucian wanted to plan it beautifully for it would be the
Lucian and Arabella Absorption
Chapter 95Mother, Fate and Karma were Ella’s judge and jury. She stood before them in silver chains, insolent, uncaring. Ella lifted her head in arrogance as Mother read out her crimes. The top crime being her kidnapping of a human. One of the biggest no no’s were harming a human in any way to which Ella qualified for by her actions. Arabella stood to one side of the Dias; she was to give evidence against Ella.Arabella was uncomfortable to be in the presence of three such powerful women. She shuffled her feet so much she caught a warning look from Karma. Arabella stood stock still so as to not bring more attention on herself.The proceeding was similar as on earth except Ella was not allowed to defend herself. All of her misdeeds were playing out o the walls surrounding the proceedings. Ella was not the least bit repentant. She did not believe Mother would actually send her to be absorbed. It just was not done anymore. With that thought in mind, a small smile played out on her lips.
Lucian and Arabella Ending
Chapter 94Lucian walked back to the veranda to be close to Arabella while she slept. He was not surprised to find Thorn asleep on the porch beside the lounger where Arabella lay. Smiling to himself, Lucian sat down to wait on Arabella.Arabella’s sleep was long and uneventful. Echaustion keep the nightmares away. Slowly, Arabella started to wake up. She groaned a little at the pain from sleeping in one position for a long period of time. Arabella found herself alone on the veranda and started to panic. Just as she was ready to lose it, Lucian walked onto the veranda with hot coffee and finger sandwiches.“Ah, finally, you are awake?” Lucian said with a smile in his voice. “I was hoping you would soon. You must be starving by now.” Lucian set the tray with the coffee and food on the small table in front of Arabella.“Lucian, you’re here,” Arabella breathed whispered before she could stop herself. “Where is Selene? Oh, by the Gods, where is Ella?”Arabella tried to jump up from her cha
Lucian and Arabella Captured
Chapter 93Suddenly, Ella realized it was not Arabella, but Selene that stood before her. Quickly, she reached for the shadows, but nothing happened. Running to the mouth of the cave, Ella stopped short. Outdide stood Michael, his sword of rightness was drawn. Ella’s shoulders slumped in defeat.“How did you find her?” Ella was curious as to why her spell didn’t work.“Silly woman,” replied Selene, “You forgot one important element.”Ella was getting impatient and almost stomped her foot in anger. “No need to draw this out Selene.”“Please Ella,” Selene smiled, “Let me finish. You forgot she was half human. That rather voided your magic. Why did you do this, Ella? What did Arabella ever do to you?”“Do to me? You want to know what she ever did to me? She exists, Selene. Do you understand that? She exists. I have spent my life having Arabella shoved down my throat. So much so that I never felt good enough for you. What better way to reach than through your ‘daughter’. Your precious Ara
