Ava Pov Lucifer continued as I looked on in horror. My mate? My mate is Atlas. My wolf and his dragon have already formed their own bonds together. I looked up at him in horror and anger as he continued his speech. "I am, after all, the very first angel of existence. The very first of my kind. The rebel. The outcast. Whether you want to admit it, little angel witch, I sense we are very much more alike than you think", he said to me. " I am nothing like you, demon", I said. I could feel my power inside of me, ready to be used at my will. The will was there, but...... The will to attack was fading, and being replaced with something else. "Oh yea", he said to me and appeared in front of me in an instant. I stood in place. Unmoving. Unerved, and for some reason unsure about what I was feeling because it didn't make sense. I stood perfectly still as his hand touched my cheek and was surprised by how warm it actually was. " I was abandoned by my father for wanting to be myself. I was t
Harmon Pov Since the death of my two mates, I have been helping to keep the peace for the people of Draconis. On the outside, I was the strong Amazonian woman to the Draconis people, and even my own family, though Jasmine seemed to see through me sometimes. On the inside, I was dead. I wanted to die. My soul had not been ripped in half once, but twice. Why Selene?, I thought to myself. Why would you put me in such pain? What is there to gain? Had I not suffered enough? Before Brandon, I always felt like I was destined for something great. Like my whole life, I have been waiting for something or someone. With Brandon, I finally felt complete. I finally felt.......whole. Now, all that is left is this emptiness. This darkness inside of me. Ana. It was all Ana's fault. She took away not just my Brandon, but my chance at another happiness. Another life where the thought of Brandon always lingered, but the hope for new love was there. I wanted to rip that demon bitch in half, but even I kn
Ava Pov (before coming back to the Shadow Realm)" Did you know about Sarah?" I asked father. He looked confused as to what I meant. "Know what about Sarah?" he asked me. " That she slept with Lucifer, took his blood and semen and impregnated herself, just to keep the expression bloodline strong.", I asked him. He shook his head. "The only one who would have known that would have been you're mother. I stayed away from the magic stuff and focused on the kingdom." he said. "Why do you ask?". I sensed he was lying. " I dream walked into Lucifer's realm", I told him as we walked around the castle. He stopped walking and put a hand on my shoulder, making me face him. "Are you okay?" he asked and I nodded. " Tell me what happened, the day my mother died", I asked him. His eyes seemed to darken. " She passed away after giving birth to you", he said, and started walking again. He was lying again. "Bullshit. Tell me the truth", I told him, catching up to him. "That is the truth", he sa
Rynyxon PovMy Princess was hurt. I can't deny that it is possible she could have helped her mother, but Lucifer took control of my mate and tried to use her to get to Ava. Keeping the truth from her was my way of protecting her. Keeping her safe, for as long as I could. That was the job of a father. To protect his family, at all cost. "Why did you tell her?" Samael asked, after I explained everything to everyone who didn't know. "She said she dreamwalked into Lucifer's realm. He put the thought in her mind not to trust me. She knew I was not being honest when she asked me, so she took over my mind and searched my memories. I could not stop her. "Fuck"!, Samael growled out. "So what now? Where is she?", Jasmine asked. "My guess is Draconis. All her life, she has longed for her mother, only to realize the lie we have kept from her. That, plus the darkness we have seen latched inside of her, is driving her mad." I explained. "Lucifer must have done something to her when we were ca
Jasmine Pov "What the fuck?" I said aloud. Micheal had released us from his power and anger was my first reaction. "We came to try to talk some sense into Ava, and not only is her own fucking mate trying to kill her, angels are too. Are you out of your fucking mind", I growled to Micheal and Atlas. I knew it was disrespectful, but the thought of them taking Ava's life sickened me. "Watch who your speaking to, halfling." Micheal warned me, but I did not care. I was furious. "No, you fucking watch it. That is my sister. She is not in the right state of mind right now, and needs her family to help her. You come in swinging trying to kill her? What the fuck is wrong with you?", I demanded to know. Lunar was merging with me and the demon part of us wanted them to suffer, but I kept that part at bay. "That thing is no longer your sister." he sneered to me. "Neither your mate", he said to Atlas, who was now back in human form and was furious. "Neither your daughter", he said to dad. "She
Ava Pov "Let me go", I told Lucifer, who still had his arm wrapped around me as we landed back in his throne room. I both hated and loved his arm around me. Well, the darkness loved it, and since I felt consumed by much of it,a big part of me liked it. "As you wish, mate", he said in his usual calm voice. For some reason, it didn't creep me out like usual. "How did you get to earth?" I demanded to know. "You called for me" he simply said, sitting down on his throne. "I didn't call you. I had it." I told him. He laughed. "If that was the case angel witch, I would have been able to even cross onto the earth. A part of you felt fear when they were about to attack you. You broke the block that allowed me to siphon off your power and called for me, " he said to me. I shook my head. I couldn't remember, until I did. I closed my eyes and took myself back to when it happened. I had a paranoid fear that I was going to die when Micheal set his angels on me. I closed my eyes and asked for
Atlas Pov My mate was caged like an animal while I was forced to finish plans for the coming war. Uncle Ellis and I went over battle formations while father spent his time with mom, who, as the hours went by, was making a swift recovery. My heart ached for my mate, and the beast inside me craved her blood and mateship. I hated the fact that he was under the command of Typhon, who wanted nothing more but the death of our mate. " I am sorry, Atlas", Kai spoke to me. "Yea", I told him, before closing the link. It was the first time ever that we had ever been at odds with each other, and it felt as if my animal self had betrayed me. It was not his fault, but it still hurt. I could not bear to even speak with him. I wanted to go see Ava as well, but knowing Kai would lash out the moment I did, made me refrain from it. I felt as even if I dream walked, I would put her in danger. She must hate me right now. I tried channeling her through our mate link, but I felt nothing. It was like she
Samael Pov (Two days ago when Ava was captured)"Ava will never forgive us for that" Rynyxon had said as we prepared to enter the realm of hell. As before, we shared blood with everyone who was to enter the realm with us, since it was known that those without demon blood could not enter the realm. "We are protecting her. The prophecy for her fate will happen in two days, and our only option is killing Lucifer. End him. We will save Ava." I told him. " She is halfway under his control. Killing Lucifer will free her", Jasmine said to her father, fixing the demon killing blade in my belt. "I am aware of what we need to do, but to trust a demon. My own apparent evil fucking daughter. " Rynxyon sighed. Jasmine hugged him to comfort him. "She is not your daughter anymore. She is a demon, dad. After all she took from us, regardless of any pack we made with her, she will not live to see the end of this war.", Jasmine said to him, looking him in the eye. He nodded. " It's time", Jessica l
