Promised to the Tyrant Words with Meaning
Omerta’s POVWith nowhere to hide, I waited for the person behind the door to reveal himself. The taste of uncertainty and fear was fresh on my tongue, as the door moved to disclose the identity of that person.As the man behind the door entered the room, my breath got stuck in my throat, as I came face to face with the man I already knew.What was he doing here?The beautiful face that was covered in pale-paper white skin, and adorned with those red gemstones, sent a shiver through my spine, as that man walked into the room, with his eyes glued to his phone.How could this be? How could he be alive? Did Lucifer not kill him in front of my own eyes?The memory flashed before my eyes, as I mentally saw every detail of how Lucifer drove his hand through that man’s chest, taking out his heart. But then he was not truly a man, so I was not even sure if you could kill a vampire. We had never discussed this, but could he have survived without his heart?No, no, that was just not possible! H
Promised to the Tyrant The Dream
Lucifer’s POV "I am sorry. I am a little tired, so I may be hearing things wrong. You said you had what?" Set questioned Omerta; he was a little weary after the night we had had. "Go on, Omerta, tell them about your dream," Avo suggested. Dream? Avo had called me to talk about a dream here. Holy Fuck! It had already been a fucking long night. Since dinner, we have been dealing with the guests that Set had mentioned, and not just one but two of them. And they needed all the special attention in this fucking world that my beast was dying to provide. I had always relished torture, more so since it was my beast’s preferred poison. A little bloodshed was always important in keeping him at bay, and me as well. Not to forget that a little violence went a long way in getting work done. This time, however, was different. It was personal because this time she was involved. My beast howled at the memory of seeing her cornered by those bloodsuckers. He was in no way satisfied by the heap o
Promised to the Tyrant The Pattern
The words that she had penned down from memory had turned my fucking world into pieces. We had all seen this before, far too closely, and for far too long. The words were not the same, nor were the preachers, but it was still fucking all the same. The memory was etched in my brain from years ago, bringing back the deepest of scars and wounds that had only festered over time. It only seemed like yesterday, when we stood in line and our father repeated Shahira’s words aloud, as she whispered them in his ears. There were also times when she did the deed herself, repeating those fucking words again and again. "I think we all know what those words mean," Set’s voice broke the silence in the room, getting Avo, Draco, Giovanni, and I out of our fucking heads. I did not even have an ounce of doubt about what Set was saying, this had fucking witches written all over it. "What is worse, though, is that it is just not the wise ones," Avo’s stress on the words wise ones did not go missed: "
Promised to the Tyrant Questions Questions
Set’s POV We were all staring at that board ahead of us, going through the pattern that had emerged. Lost in our thoughts, contemplating the repercussions of our discovery, and dealing with the thousand unanswered questions that came with it. The most important question hung in the air, suffocating us all. Why her? For a change, even Avo was not in his element. Avo had always had an insight into every situation. Never had I seen him so unaware. Clearly, this was not what he was expecting. To be honest, this had caught all of us off guard, even Lucifer, especially Lucifer. Our dear brother was not the one to be a slave to his emotions. Even during those rage fits, when his beast craved to see bloodshed, Lucifer always kept his mind sound. Not this time, though; right now he was fairly out of his zone. This was the first time I had seen him like this in a long long time. If the situation had been different, I would have loved to provoke him about this oh-so-possessive side of
Promised to the Tyrant Another Intruder
Omerta’s POVDarkness was all that my eyes felt and saw for the first couple of seconds until they adjusted to those pitch-black surroundings. As my eyes started taking in the visual, my heart quivered with fear and despair, the two unfriendly feelings that were slowly crawling across my whole body. The tangy metallic smell of the blood was thick in the air, making my dread run deeper.The alternating cries of the little boy and that man that rang in that small room, provided the perfect background score to the horror that was at play there.It was like the whole thing was in a loop, as the same visual and audio repeated itself over and over again.I focused on the scene in front of me as the next cycle of torture was about to commence. The man, who I knew was a vampire, grabbed the little boy again as he bit hard on his back, piercing his razor-sharp fangs into that boy's delicate skin, an action that made him scream in agony.In any other case, I would have assumed that the boy woul
Promised to the Tyrant Safety First
Lucifer’s POV I had always run a fucking tight ship, ensuring that everyone followed the rules that we had laid down. In the last week, though, I had fucking strangled people with the way I was handling things. My obsession regarding her safety had driven me from leadership to dictatorship. With the whole vampire business and all that had been happening, I had already been on edge. But it was when I saw her lying in bed, jerking and twisting as she whimpered in pain, from whatever torment she was experiencing in her head that I lost my shit. It was like she was in hell. Her face was a canvas of agony, as her hands went between her hands, back, and shoulder, holding them as if she were wounded there. All our efforts to wake her up from whatever nightmare she was in were to no avail. We did everything under the roof to fucking bring her out of that unconscious state, but the more we tried, the worse it became. Her cries only grew louder, and her movements only became more desperate
Promised to the Tyrant Shower
Lucifer’s POV What the fuck was I doing here? The question racked my beast and me as we visually devoured the girl who stood right across from me, frozen in her spot. Knowing very well that we were playing with fire. Something had diametrically shifted between the two of us since that fuck-all school party. In certain ways, there was a silent acceptance on both our parts, or so I believed. And with this new acceptance came also this new urgency to act on it. So here I was, checking her out as she stood there in her workout bra that deliciously showed off the slight muscles that had started to adorn her thin frame. My heart swelled knowing she was getting fit and healthy, but it was the muscle that she had put in other places that got my shit going. She was never the one with really big breasts; rather, those perky little bastards were just perfect. They were fucked up like my very own personal temples, meant to be worshipped. I trailed my eyes from her long neck to her breasts to
Promised to the Tyrant Mirror mirror on the Wall
Omerta’s POV It was like I was experiencing the aftereffects of meditation, the one where they have a gong. And the gong sounds and vibrations had washed over my entire body, bringing every body part and sense alive. But in reality, these were the after-effects of some mere fleeting moments that we had shared, and my body had become so overwhelmed just by his proximity. I had my eyes shut tight as I tried to take in the awareness that I felt in every part of my body. "I need you to open your eyes." His order was all I needed to leave the cocoon of my body and open my eyes to be treated to our combined reflection in the mirror. There we were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, looking directly into each other’s eyes through the mirror. Eyes that were full of needs, wants hopes, and desires. "Didn’t I tell you not to wear this again?" He teased me as he continued to play with my bra straps, leaving a hot trail on my skin with his every touch. I knew what he was referring to,

Promised to the Tyrant New York (2)
Omerta's POV"I am no father of yours." My father shouted."Don't you call me that?"I would be lying if I said that I did not wince at the words which he had repeated a million times growing up. But this time, they drilled deeper, making me realize how true they were.He was not my father; surely he never acted like one.And in that very instant, the man standing in front of me went from being my father to just Lucio Romano.Lucio sounded right; it definitely sounded more apt than Father.I was still deciding on the nomenclature when the phrase 'puta' made its way to my ears."Must have become their puta," Maria muttered under her breath, disgust written all over her face.A loud growl erupted from behind me, silencing the entire room, but before Draco could make another move, I warned him off, not wanting him to get involved. I did not want anyone to fight this battle for me; that was the whole reason why I had not brought Lucifer with me. "Again, I am not sure why you are surpris
Promised to the Tyrant New York (1)
Omerta's POVI had that same vision again and again for the last thirty-six hours, so much so that that was all I could see, hear, or think about. It marred every breath of mine.I knew something bad was going to happen. The voices in my head were restless, though they were not very helpful either.All they told me was that what I had seen would become reality soon enough—not now, but soon enough. However, they were not able to flush out any details other than that. Which meant we had to travel to New York. That was not a problem since we were already due to visit New York to meet with my father, especially after we met with Sameera.My premonition had just preponed our plans. So, the very next morning, we took the very first flight out to New York. I was nervous as hell about this trip. First, the constant buzzing in my head because of the vision had me on edge. I was worried about my mother and eager to meet her. But the thing that had eaten me out was coming face-to-face with
Promised to the Tyrant Normal Couple
Omerta's POV "And now I am going to fuck you so hard that you will not be able to walk for weeks." His words did it for me, sending me over the edge and making me come apart as I tainted the whole room with the scent of my orgasm. The delicious knot in my stomach burst in one go. My muscles contracted and relaxed at the same time as my body savored the experience of a ballet of tension and release surging through it. My eyes fluttered shut, unable to contain the buzzing that was radiating through my body. I was exhausted and energized. It was like I was in heaven and hell at the same time. And I knew he had only just begun with me. Locking his eyes with mine, Lucifer ran his thumb over the smooth skin around my bikini line once again, sending sweet tingles to my sensitive core and my heart into overdrive. I could not decide if it was his look that had my panty wet or his touch. Every nerve in my body was on fire, yearning for more. And I literally lost my head when Lu
Promised to the Tyrant I love you!
Omerta's POV My emotions were running all raw and bare as I ran up, taking two stairs at a time. Sameera's words kept playing in my mind over and over again. He was created so I could be born. I was the trigger for those inhuman experiments that Lucifer and Set had to go through. Another stream of tears trickled down my cheeks as I recalled what they had to go through with Shaira. The ear-shattering screams, the anguished expressions, and those blank looks haunted me. He probably hated me after knowing all this, and he was not wrong. I would hate me too. I did hate myself. I was at the center of all his pain. Not only that, I was at the center of everything that was going wrong. I couldn't help but feel a heavy weight of responsibility on my shoulders. The realization hit me that I had unknowingly become the catalyst for all the chaos that was unfolding around us. Another sob left my mouth, and I lept toward the bed, lying down on my stomach. I clutched the pillow to m
Promised to the Tyrant More from Sameera
Lucifer's POVThis witch continued to spew nonsense regarding the origin of Lycans, but I could barely keep up. All my focus was on my Stray. Her racing heart, ragged breath, and the sweat that had broken through her skin were proof that she was not taking this well.I could taste her fear, her anxiety, and the fuckton of negative thoughts going through her beautiful little head. Wanting to soothe her nerves, I wrapped my arms tightly around her, pulling her close while my fingers drew circles on her arms. As I held her against my chest, I could feel her relax a little in my arms, but she was still too tense.Her emotions were still all over the place. I knew she was completely overwhelmed by the whole prophecy sh*t.To be fair, it was fucking too much, especially for a girl who had no clue about this world until about three months ago. And now she was being thrown headfirst into this fucking chaos.Truth be told, I did not give a flying fuck about any of it. Avo had tried many t
Promised to the Tyrant What Sameera Knows (2)
Omerta's POV I could feel my heart in my mouth as Sameera's words sank in. My legs wobbled from the pressure of whatever was yet to come. The message that my mother had left for me, about the darkness within me came to the forefront of my mind. Only the darkness within will set you free. Embrace it with all, as you embrace thee. Was the darkness within me the cause of all this? I just had a bad feeling about this. For a minute, I regretted coming here at all. Why was it important to get more answers? Lucifer and I were together; why did we need to complicate things more? I knew it was a naive outlook, but I would have preferred being with Lucifer somewhere, instead of listening to all this. Any day, I would take denial over the weight of her words, and the misdeeds that were happening around me. "It all started with the goddess Athena, right about the time when the blessed ones were formed. And while I am sure that Augustus knows this story better than I do, as my prerogative
Promised to the Tyrant What Sameera Knows (1)
Omerta's POV All of my anxiety about sharing a room with Lucifer amounted to nothing, at least not on our first night. Lucifer did not come back till late; in fact, I had no idea when he came or when we went in the morning, because he did not tell me either of the times. All I knew was that something warm and hard was wrapped around me for most of the night, but it was gone by the time I woke up in the morning. There was no Lucifer and no note. It was like I had the whole room to myself. My deep-rooted insecurities started making their way to the surface. I could feel the negative thoughts skirting around the periphery of my vision, but I was adamant not to let them get to me. I reminded myself again that he was just stuck with the stuff going back to Enna. He wanted me here He had moved me into his room. And like he had said, we were in this together, and we were in it for life. Quickly getting ready, I headed downstairs with the book Aaron had given me. It was the one t
Promised to the Tyrant Living Together
Omerta's POV "Don't even fucking think of lying to me, Stray!" Lucifer warned me as he stood all tall and large in that tiny washroom, fuming to fury. He was beyond upset. "You were here with her. Fucking all alone! Do you even know what she could have done?" Lucifer continued, scolding me as he took my hand back in his, pulling me out of there. Alright, he was worried, all right, and he had all his reasons. "I am fine; it was nothing. She did nothing." I tried to calm him down as I showed him that I was unharmed. "You have no idea what they are capable of. All witches are not like that fucker Aaron." It was good to know that Lucifer had let go of some of his inhibitions concerning Aaron, especially since Giovanni had marked him. When we stepped out of the restroom stalls, Avo and Aaron were waiting for us outside. So this is how Lucifer knew about her. Did the wise one know that Aaron would come here? She was super precise about Lucifer's timing as well, which meant
Promised to the Tyrant Her Words
Omerta's POV "So, what is the plan?" I heard Aaron asking when I stepped out of the guest house. "We will start from where we left off yesterday," Avo said calmly. "She was at the fair yesterday, and she made that known, so that is where we start from." After I had spotted the wise one yesterday, we systematically scanned the whole area, only to come up empty-handed. After sundown, Aaron and I could not even feel her presence anymore. We thought it would be easy to scout her out, especially since the one quick glance I had gotten at her told me that she was the spitting image of me. It was almost like looking at my own reflection in the mirror. Maybe I was confused; maybe she just had red, curly hair and green eyes. One thing was sure, she barely looked like an elder. Truth be told, the possibility that it could be my mother had crossed my mind. I had never seen my mother's photograph, but I knew she looked like me. "Is Lucifer not coming?" Draco looked at me, expecting me
