Chapter 22
(Third person Flashback POV)
Fate.
What does people stand against fate? Against what was carved on stone by the universe itself? How do you defy the movement of the world? How do you defy what's written in the stars?
That was what’s running inside the man’s head.
A curse.
Chapter 23“Frustrated?” Leviathan asked as I drove the car. It’s an almost empty road so there’s not a lot of traffic except for a few cars.“A bit.” I hummed and a comfortable silence settled in.We got back around three P.M. and materialized in my office. I still have some work to update and I am still pissed that our trip to London was all for naught.Actually, we did had great information from there—it was not for nothing after all. It’s plenty enough to make me look into things I have not considered before.First, for some reason, Ashley is being guarded heavily by
Chapter 28“Ash.” Trent groaned and trailed kisses against my jaw, going down my neck and sucking spots along the way. A moan escaped my mouth as I breathlessly ran my hand through his hair. Fuck—id he doesn’t stop I’m seriously gonna go along, fuck waiting. I am nothing but a thirsty soul in front of this handsome man. I have weaknesses too.“Trent—Ah. There.” I pleaded and whimpered as he slipped his hand inside my shirt. Trent kept murmuring litany of sweet words praising me—making me feel how beautiful I am at the very moment.He’s fucking skilled at this and I don’t know if I should be upset or over the moon cause damn, those hands and lips knows what they’re doing.“You’re so bea
Chapter 24“Food.” Ash placed in front of me rather heavily before sitting in the seat without another peep. It’s as what he said, seafood boil and tiger shrimps that he knows are my favorite but I feel like someone is pissed eating his own food as he tried hard to ignore me sitting in front of him.“Do you want some wine?” I asked with a cough to get his attention. He just ignored me. Flat out acted like he didn’t hear any of the things I said.Okay, what the fuck is up?“Hey.” I called out. Ignored.“Hey!” I called out the second time and he answered me a brief ‘What?’ with an indescribable facial expression. “I asked you if you want some wine with this. Are you angry?” I asked with a raised brow.
Chapter 25This position looks compromising as fuck. And that’s coming from me. The man who used to sleep and party like a fucking animal a few months ago. Why did I stopped again?Ah yes, I suddenly became decent when Ashley came into my life.“So are you finally gonna tell me what you mean by boundaries?” The scene was so intimate. Him, clinging to me for dear life as he wrapped his long legs around my waist and me holding him up by his plump round bottom.If anyone was to walk in on us like this—they would definitely think that something dirty is going on. Something that involves holes and hard rod—the likes. You get the gist.“I…” Ashley started, ears hot as a cattle prod. “I just don’t want us to overstep our jokes—yo
Chapter 26“No asking the same questions.”“So when did you start jacking off imagining me?” the idiot bashfully asked.“I started seeing you as a person when you began cleaning your room, I mean, I haven’t seen an animal take care of their own underwear before.” I said and earned myself a pout from the man in front of him. Gosh this is unfair. 6 foot 2 of pure muscles shouldn’t have the ability to act cute.Only Trent. Only he was blessed by the Holy Father up there.“So I was an animal?” He raised a brow and I stared at him, challenging him to disagree when the both of us know what the truth is.“An animal. Yes, you are.” I hummed and combed my hand through his hair. “And no, I don&rsq
Chapter 27Ashley’s POV“So, eggs and toast for breakfast and I made some breaded pork chop for lunch—what else?” I mumbled under my breath and looked at the prepared lunch I have on the kitchen counter. It’s Trent’s day off today but I am still gonna make him food to eat in the afternoon—God knows that man will sleep through anything and eat cup noodles if I let him since I am driving myself to school today. I don’t want to bother the poor guy—he’s having some sort of troubles with his company expanding market. I want him to somehow rest a bit more.I hate the bags under his eyes more than I hate his messy self.Trent had been very sweet to me—and yes, we are taking things very slow. He drives

Chapter 29Third Person’s POVThe rain was terrifying yet comforting that night—it was beautifully tragic as it floods the land—the water wasn’t murky. It was clear and the rain that fell to wash the land rid of impurities was warm and comforting.Lux loved it. He loved how chaos was both beautiful and poetic even if it destroyed a lot of thing. He loved the flowing water and he loved how the rain cascaded down his naked body as he stood under the shower that the clouds provided.It’s as if the clouds know his sorrows—they weep for the love Lux has.Maybe he wasn’t an angel after all—Lux thought as he looked at the panic the people felt as they began salvaging what they can while he stoo
EPILOGUE Lux’s POV It was nice and peaceful. Looking at the aurora borealis for the second time to celebrate the prophecy of our children is beautiful. Crocell looks at me with a smile before taking and kissing the back of my hand, muttering thank you every now and then. It had been five months since we undid the curse. It was a bittersweet moment as I took the first breath of life with confidence that it won’t be the last so soon. And as I took that sweet breath, Camael took his last. And I have never thanked anyone this hard. He sacrificed his life for me. He did it so we can live. It wasn’t his obligation to do so as I have later on realized that even though he saw how father cursed me, it wasn’t his obligation to tell me, tell us nor help us in anything. Camael was a casualty. An innocent sacrifice so that we can live happily and I will live the rest of my immortal life thanking him for it. The sou
Chapter 65 Third person’s POV The moon hung over the sky like a diamond. The illumination that it casted over the mountain provided a serene comfort to the couple that had waited for this very moment. It’s about time their suffering cease and this curse ends. “I love you.” The angel whispered, dressed in beautiful chiton with his wings clearly shown in his back. The bump in his front is already showing promise of a healthy pregnancy and for that, the couple is thankful. They just need to survive. “I love you too.” Crocell whispered back, holding his husband by his waist and kissing him lovingly on the lips. Time had never changed his love for the angel and if it did in a way, it would’ve been the increasing intensity of what he feels for the other as time passes by. “Are you ready?” Hades asked as he walked in on the couple who are currently hugging each other. Lux smiled as nodded. “I’
Chapter 64 Crocell’s POV 2 weeks countdown. The process of undoing a curse is a lot simpler than what we anticipated. There was materials gathered and there was a certain shit that needs to be done at the right time and the right place or else it won’t work. I was an idiot thinking it would be relatively easy especially when I am doing the whole process of preparation with a very hormonal, very pregnant angel. “For the third time, I am gonna ask you,” I looked at my angel and breathed out. “We’re you crying because I ate nachos and you smelled it on my breath?” A pillow came hurling my way and I ducked before it hit me in the face. Wrong move. I should’ve just shut my mouth up and let myself get hit by the pillow because now my husband is sobbing ugly sobs because he can’t hit me and he also can’t follow me ‘cause his feet hurts and he doesn’t wanna waddle with the growing bump in his
Chapter 63 I want to cut the tie that threads you to your father and reintroduce you to the thread of the source. “I beg your pardon?” I asked with a confused face. Did I hear that right? Cutting my ties? Experimenting with my children? This is a lot more than what I had expected. “I mean what I said.” Hades says with a serious face, completely devoid of any emotions that would give away his intent. “I need your consent on this. You’re the personification of light, the Source’s light and you are hindered by your connection with your father.” He explained which made my brows furrow. This is risky. “Have you not realize that I am pregnant? This is too much risk! We could hurt the babies. And experimenting?! My children are not cattle that you can easily poke and probe.” I turned towards the teapot that’s currently coming to a rolling boil, breathing in and out to calm myself. I focused on that for a moment before turning back t
Chapter 62Third Person’s POVChildren does things that are rather childish. It’s a given. They are after all, kids.They often misbehave or purposely anger their parents just to get their attention at times. But there are stuff that goes too far and needs intervention.Yaweh is just a simple God. He loves his creation and his children, his angels that are his sons and daughter and there is no exception to that. But at the same time, Yaweh also wants his children to stay in the right path—his path, the one that he carved out of solid stones. The one that will not sway them from temptations. He is also the kind of person who would choose the safety and the security of the many. In the moral dilemma situation, he would have a clear answer without even batting an eyelash.Lucifer was an example. He was growing in power and was starting to see beyond the walls of the pat
Chapter 61Third person POVAn audience with Lucifer himself is a bit hard to set. You need to go through various processes with few lower ranks under his household. The waiting line is long seeing as all of major affairs in hell needs to go through Lucifer and not just the seven high ranking demons. When the council members are the ruler, Lucifer is the law himself.“Lord Beelzebub. Greetings.” A low ranking demon appeared as the couple landed in front of the domineering castle that Lucifer calls his humble abode. “And greetings to you as well, Lord Leviathan. I hope you don’t find the obstacles bothering.”“We didn’t, Feldspar. We are here to have an audience with Lord Lucifer.” Leviathan easily stated and the ram horned demon stopped in his tracks.“Lord Lucifer isn’t in hell at the moment—““Save the lies for lesser demons, I c
Chapter 60 “I am the key.” The words resounded like a pin dropping on the serene marbled floor. It broke the silence. I didn’t know what to feel when I heard Camael uttered those four words. Surprise? Anger? Happiness? Relief? I don’t know. What I know is that I feel as if a thorn was plucked from my heart, freeing me from the constant worry of looking for the key without any clue on who they we’re. “The key? W-what do you mean?” My husband asked as he gripped my hand, hard. I read his face as if it had hope yet it spelled betrayal all the same. His face looks hopeful, yet devastated at the same time and I understand how he feels. “I’m sorry Lux. Forgive me, I wasn’t strong enough nor selfless enough.” Camael’s voice cracked as Metatron held him close, afraid of how our reactions would be. It was pretty clear to everyone who knew us that we are looking for the key as per the scriptures—why woul
Chapter 59The ceremony was simple. The small garden in the back of the mansion that served as my office and home to my servants had been the venue. It was really simple with my father officiating the whole thing. Lux is dressed in white, his traditional robes as an angel and I was in my demon form. We found out that his stomach is really getting quiet big just a month into the pregnancy as what the healer had said. There is a noticeable bump in his abdomen that made me swoon.Of course, Lux is happy so I’m happy.“I love you.” Lux whispered with a giggle as he was handed a plate of cake.“You just love me because I got you your coconut custom cake.” I replied and the angel giggled again as he happily devoured his second slice. This is the first time I saw him eat without puking so I’ll get him all the cake he wants.“This is superb, Love. This is the first time I felt full—you kid is
Chapter 58A/N: We will be switching a lot of POV’s so hang in there. XDLux’s POVCrocell and I had been in a lifetime where he was born as a really sickly vampire born in New York City to two poor vampires who are barely making ends meet. I was born in a rich family but I have with Dravet Syndrome and was staying at a hospital, living as a miracle for the whole 17 years of my life.We met for a week when he snuck into the hospital for blood bags.By all means, we shouldn’t have fallen in lo
