Chapter 29 - Scheming

Gavin

I always prided myself on my ability to tell when someone was lying. It was a gift only someone who needed to have control of everything, like me, truly possessed. Order created a sense of power. With power came leadership, and with leadership came the ultimate power and being one of the most powerful princes of hell created more enemies than allies. And being able to spot the lies spewed by some of the most cunning people in our world was a gift I often used to remain at the top of the food chain.

It was how I ruled and how I played. If I wanted something, needed it, or couldn't get enough of it, I did whatever necessary to get it. Greed presented itself in every aspect of my day and followed me well into my slumber. I was, in every meaning of the word, greedy.

But to catch someone in a lie was the most rewarding gift of all. Because it gave me control over more than just my own life, my own world; it gave me control over another soul, another living bei

    Chapter 30 - Psycho LilithThe month at Gideon's flew by, and before I knew it, it was time to go to the next house. I wasn't sure whose house I would be going to now, I was supposed to go to Gavin's, but when I asked Gideon about it, he said there had been a change of plans, and he didn't know where I was going next. And that didn't sit right with me, especially not when it was paired with Gideon's sudden mood change. He went from not being able to get enough of me two days ago back to the standoffish attitude he had when I first got here. 'He got what he wanted from you, and now he's done.' The little voice in my head whispered.It's not like I should care about whether it was speaking the truth or not, but somewhere along the line, in the last couple of weeks, I had lost myself in the game I was forced to play. I lost myself in this fake reality I created to get what I wanted, needed to survive, and now it was catching up to me. A knock sounded at the door before it was pushed

    Chapter 31 - BlissLucifer It took a lot to push me over the edge, but after Gavin's report back about Lilith's attempt to brainwash Emmett and Gideon, I reached my tipping point. I knew keeping her here was a risk, but I didn't think she could dig her claws into my brothers so quickly, not before we had a chance to make her pay for all the shit she did to us back then. I felt like an idiot falling for her act, but Gavin's report and a building list of other suspicions I had about the woman made the truth abundantly clear she is and always was our Lilith. I just thought she might still be too weak from whatever spell she used to bind herself to her human form to be able to get one over on us, and that was my mistake, one I was now working to rectify.Winston and I stuck a deal, one that would kill him if he broke it. He got to get a little crazy out while Lilith was reminded of who was in charge, a reminder that I ruled hell and that her little games wouldn't work here, not anymore

    Chapter 32 - PriceLilith A blood-curdling scream filled the room, the sound loud enough to burst an eardrum. It took me several seconds to realize it was coming from me. Pain rippled through my body, and my stomach twisted at the sudden flare of pain. My vision blurred, and tears instantly poured down my face as the room spun around me.Every thought was drowned out by the screams tearing from my throat and the blinding pain coming from the knife wounds in my hands. I felt faint, my eyes threatening to roll back into my head as black started to spot my vision. Winston's hand connected with my cheek forcing me to remain conscious. "Ah ah ahh, Nightshade. Can't have you pass out when the fun has just begun." Winston tsked, placing the knife on the counter and exchanging it for a pair of pliers. I forced myself to swallow the vomit that climbed up my throat. A glint of pure madness filled the hazel eyes before me, a wicked grin lighting his face as Winston gripped my hand. A muffle

    Chapter 33 - Whole Lilith "-It's not a good idea." I heard Perseus hiss at someone as I was slowly pulled from a heavy sleep. My body felt like bricks were weighing it down. My mind felt like a hammer was pounding on it. But there was also something else that seemed to weigh down my chest. Something warm seemed to pulse on its own a tad bit slower than a heartbeat. My brain was foggy, and my eyes were so heavy. I knew there was no way I would be able to open them. Not now. "It's his fault we're here now. We need to act before it's too late." Someone clipped back, their voice familiar, but I was already slipping back into unconsciousness to focus on it. "Touch her, and you will-" Another voice cut in, but I blacked out before they finished their sentence. The pain in my body numbed as I drifted into the dark abyss of nothing. It felt as though I was in the ocean, floating on my back as I let the waves guide my body, each one in rhythm with my heartbeat. I felt like someone

    Chapter 34 - Reborn SamuelI had felt the shift the moment it happened, like a beacon calling me home. It was the signal that Lilith's last fail-safe had been breached, and I couldn't be more excited for whatever chaos was about to be released into the world.My brothers were right when they assumed Lilith, and I conspired together. But I did as best as possible to deny their claims, needing to stay right where I was in their eyes—a useless prince who would rather sleep or get high than do anything productive. Because I wasn't Lilith's pet, I was much more than that. I knew all of her secrets, her past. I had grown a soft spot for the woman created from malice and destruction. Her pain echoed my own as the ruler of a kingdom most often regarded as a world for addicts and the walking dead. All because most earned their place in my kingdom by overdosing or selling their souls for just another hit of the good stuff. I was invisible, forgotten, just like she once was. I fell for her the

    Chapter 35 - Plans Lilith It was like I had just been woken from a deep sleep; the empty feeling I had known my entire life was now filled with the magic, the very magic I had blocked from each reincarnation to protect myself for centuries. I had lived hundreds of lives, some miraculous, others as painfully sad and tortuous as this one, but that was all about to change forever: no more reincarnations, no more forgotten lives. I was here now and wasn't looking at leaving any time soon.I moved quickly through Perseus's home. Now that I knew where the objects were for each prince, it made this whole process so much easier. Of course, I still had to play the naive human girl to keep them off my tail, especially Emmett. But even still, with an ego as big as his, I knew I could stroke it well enough to keep him off my trail. The best part of this whole thing was the arrogant bastards all believed that I was never coming back—a foolish mistake, but one that worked handsomely in my favou

    Chapter 36 - GambleGavin "I still haven't found him; I have searched all over the place for the bastard. He's gone to who fucking knows where. This is a waste of my time." Gideon growled in frustration. He seemed more agitated as of late, especially after that bitch was brought to Perseus's house. The punishment meant for not only her but also him for giving in to his cravings for him.I still think Lucifer had gone easy on her, restraining Winston with a no-kill order. But I wasn't the one in charge, not right now anyways. My time was coming, though, and I couldn't wait to taste the sweet victory of stealing the throne right from underneath my brother. She had three more weeks before she was left under my care, and I couldn't wait to pull the rug out from underneath her, destroying her plans and blackmailing her into crossing my brother. I had given it a lot of thought over the last week. I, of course, wanted to use them until I had more information and a better plan, but now that

    Chapter 37 - ShiftLilith "You look better," Perseus added, grabbing my empty plate and placing it in the sink. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I smelt the amazing food Gideon had made. It was hard not to miss the prince when he made food that tasted so delectable. I nodded, worrying my lower lip, knowing Perseus would be too absorbed by himself to really pick up on my sudden change as I continued my act."I feel better. Whatever you did to heal me after Winston's attack helped. Thank you for that and this deal. I know I can't ever trust you and am nowhere close to forgiving you for the club, but thanks for helping me because we both know you didn't have to." Something crossed his steel blue gaze, almost like guilt, but it couldn't be. Not Perseus. I had known him for decades and knew he wasn't one to be anything but pretentious. I used to envy his ability to gloat about how good he was at everything until I lived a thousand lives and found out how lonely it was to have a

    EpilogueLilith*Five Months Later*They say when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. But I prefer to cause mass chaos instead because there is nothing quite like the pleas of the damned to help brighten one's mood, and today was no different. I stared down at the woman before me, her chocolate brown eyes wide with shock and fear, her blonde hair a chaotic mess atop her head, and her once-tanned skin now grey. If I were anyone else, I probably would have been incapable of doing what was necessary. But I wasn't anyone else. I was me, Lilith, the Queen of hell, and watching my mother wither on the floor like a coward begging for her life was something I had only ever dreamed of until today. It was like looking at an older twin of the wretched sister I still loathed with all of my beings, some may call it petty to hate the dead, but I call it self-motivation, and knowing Eve had also died a horrible death made me infinitely happier. "L-Lilith, how are you here? I thought

It was strange seeing him care for me after everything that happened. Seeing six of the men I had loved once before finally standing at my side felt like a dream. Perseus gently kissed my cheek, ever the gentleman, narrowing his eyes at his brother."Of course she is ready, you moron. Who asks that kind of question right before someone ascends?" He chastised. Emmett shrugged his shoulders in response. "It was just a question, no need to bite my head off." "Well, it was a fucking stupid one." A smile lifted my lips as I fought back a laugh. "Perseus, it's alright. As much as it turns me on to watch you defend my honour, it was just a question." I teased, turning my attention to Emmett. "And to answer your question, my prince, yes, I am ready." "It's been a long time coming. But we must hurry if we want to complete this witho

    Chapter 57 - Hollow LuciferYou ever just look back at one particular moment in your life and wondered how the fuck you could have been so stupid to let something that life-altering happen? Knowing that the whole ordeal could have been avoided if you had used your head instead of thinking with your dick. That maybe, just maybe, if you had truly been as coldhearted as you wanted others to believe, you would have ended this all before it even had a chance to start.That was what was happening to me right now, as I felt the well of power in my chest drain. It was at this moment that I wished I could go back in time and ring Lilith's pretty little neck until she was nothing but a lifeless shell on the floor of my office.I admit. I was a complete moron for falling for her trickery a second time, and the fact that I saw it coming but chose to ignore it in favour of having one last taste of our past was a terrible judgment call. Even I couldn't deny that Lilith coming back full swing and m

    Chapter 56 - Freedom Winston Something was off. Nothing about me felt right, almost like I had been drugged. My brain felt like it was caught in a haze, my mouth was as dry as cotton, and my body felt leaden. It was like I was stuck in stasis right before I woke up. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Using my voice felt as impossible as moving my limbs. "You won't have long before he fully regains his consciousness. Ask him your questions, and I'll knock him out again." A muffled make voice explained; I knew that voice, but with this brain fog, I couldn't place it. A frustrated sigh sounded beside me, much closer than the other person. The sweet smell of crisp apples and fall air filled my nose, a sense of longing filling my chest. I knew this woman beside me; clearly, she knew me, but how?What happened? Where was I, and why the fuck couldn't I get up? "Do you think he will still be violent after being like this for two months?" The woman asked, her voice barely a whispe

    Chapter 55 - Judas LilithI let out a moan, relishing in the bite of pain from Lucifer's fingers gripping my hair as he thrust into my mouth, his cock hitting the back of my throat, making me gag and my eyes water. He didn't hold back, his magic letting loose and driving us both wild as it wrapped itself around us. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried my best to breathe through my nose and stop myself from gagging. "Fuck, Darling. You take my cock so well. After you swallow all my cum I'm going to taste yours on my tongue." His words were like a sweet song filling me with excitement. Right here, at this moment, we weren't enemies. We were two lovers who had found each other once again; both our pasts were now forgotten. He fucked my face with a need similar to mine, his release shooting down my throat as my name fell from his lips.Watching him come apart was a euphoric experience. Lucifer was the walking epitome of sex. He oozed it, mastered it, and was a conductor in the bedro

  • Panic Room   Submission

    Chapter 54 - Submission Lucifer I felt like I was being put on trial again, just waiting for the judgment to pass before my wings were ripped from my back, and I was plunged into the depths of hell along with my brothers to pay for all my sins. But this time, Lilith was that test instead of my acts against my father, and as much as I wanted to ignore the temptress and everything she stood for, my hold on willpower had slowly slipped away without me realizing it. The tighter I held onto it, the more fragile it became. My hatred for her vanished as it was gradually replaced with lust, desire, and something else I wasn't ready to come to terms with. I was starting to detest my powers the longer I was forced to live with the succubus that was Lilith. I only had myself to blame because, from the moment I saw her, I knew I should have killed her but couldn't bring myself to do it. Something inside me stopped me before I could ever go through with it.Our past still haunts me; no matter h

    Chapter 53 - TemptationLilith My heart pounded against my chest, my toes curling into the mattress as euphoric pressure built and built deep within me. My skin was coated in a thin layer of sweat. Lucifer hadn't even touched me yet, and his power was already consuming me, filling my brain with pleasure, making me incapable of forming words, let alone a single coherent thought. My clit throbbed in response to the overwhelming presence of his power. Lust and heat consumed everything I knew and was. My chest rose rapidly, making the silken sheets almost too much to handle as they brushed against my sensitive skin. Both my nipples were hard and exposed to the cool air. I was vulnerable, helpless, and so horny I felt like I could combust. It was maddening and the perfect form of torture for someone as twisted as Lucifer. I gritted my teeth, my eyes locking onto his crimson ones. The amusement and triumph dancing in them were enough to make me sick. "The clock is ticking, Lilith. You

    Chapter 52 - Realization EmmettIt was like the first time I met Lilith all over again, except this time, I wasn't staring into those perfect emerald eyes while choking on my own blood, watching her smile down at me in victory while my heart still beat in her hand. No, it was much worse now. I was blindsided in a completely different way, one I hadn't seen coming but should have, and now I was working for her instead of against her causing my entire plan of fucking her over to backfire and blow up in my face. I had to hand it to Lilith. She was as cunning and manipulative as the rest of us, maybe even more so, and as much as I hated being made a fool again, I couldn't help but admire how fucking good she looked, screwing all of us over. She radiated ruler of hell energy, and funny enough, as more time passed, I found myself wanting to fall to my knees for her instead of her falling at mine.This Lilith was different than the last one. She had always called to me, to all of us befo

I narrowed my eyes, glaring at him. After Lucifer announced that he knew everything about me and how I wasn't just some weak human girl trapped in the seven realms of hell waiting for my untimely death, he left me alone for the rest of the day and night. I knew it was too much to hope that he would wait another twenty-four hours before gracing me with his presence, but not even I was that lucky. Of course, Lucifer looked as delectable as ever in his tailored Armani suit. His face was freshly shaven, and his panty-melting smirk was in place just like I remembered. I had hoped my attraction to him would somehow vanish over the last day to save me from the temptation that was Lucifer, but luck wasn't on my side. But not all was lost because I knew Lucifer was just as attracted to me as I was to him. A
