Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Assurance

ANDREAS POV

Knock knock knock!

"Come in"

I opened the heavy wooden doors entering the office, he looked up when i came in and a small smile graced his face

"Andreas, right on time i was just about to call you"

"Good day your highness" i say with a bow

"Have a seat" he motions to the chair in front his desk

"So, status report. Have your contacts gotten back to you with info about those abominations"

"Actually yes i received two reports last night"

"It seems they are no longer hiding in the shadows anymore, one by one they're starting to gather and they found someway to create others like them"

"Shit!, this is what i didn't want to happen i knew i shouldn't have listened to lena and just wipe them out from the begining"

"I'm curious as to why the moon goddess asked you not to kill them they were created by that dark sorcerer so why spare a race born from evil"

"She's all into that preserving of life bull shit so we made a deal but now that they've ignored my warnings i can kill them. But not right now because i need to know what they're up to i have a feeling this is something way deeper"

"So shall i send word to continue surveillance"

"Yes"

"Is that all" he asks

"On that matter yes, but sire i wanted to inquire on something"

"And that is?" He says going through some papers

"The princess"

He stops what he's doing giving me his full attention "what about her"

"Well i know you guys have gotten close and strengthened your bond as father and daughter but i also know that there's only three weeks of summer left so what will happen after that" i ask

"What do you mean?" He says with a puzzled look

"Well isn't she going back to school and are you going to allow her to go to the same school as before?"

"Ooohhhhh" he says in realization

"Well i haven't really thought about it but that is something Cat and i will have to discuss as well as her friends. Also i have a meeting today with king Adam you know, the mer dude. I'll need you and the other sins to accompany me to I'll need your insight. I would have brought Sam but he's still out for blood when it comes to Cat's past and this is supposed to be a peaceful meeting"

"I see. What time are we leaving and what's this meeting about if you don't mind me asking"

"I'm glad you asked actually. Obviously the people of Atlantis and i have no qualms other than the few who had a hand in my daughters torment" his eyes flashed a bit of red when he spoke of what those scum did to the princess

"However they seem to be under the impression that i might not keep my word in not waging war and being the devil i am the thought has crossed my mind but after the time i spent with my baby girl this summer and the happiness she brings me and this dark place that was always so dull and empty i realized it makes no sense to go back on my word so I'm meeting with Adam to personally assure him of this and as we all know my word is my bond" he explains

"I understand but if he's so worried about you declaring war why is he allowing his daughter to stay here then?"

"Well he has no say in that part anymore since his daughter is the mate of a sin but otherwise sylvia has assured him that his daughter is in good hands and i gave her a pendant that can open a portal to her home so she can visit at anytime"

"I see"

"Anyway i wanted to ask how's Cat's training? I know it's probably hard for you since your not a people person and she's lacking in every department when it comes to any form of combat but i hope you can at least teach her the basics"

"First of all why does everyone keep saying I'm not a people person"

He gave me an "are you serious" look

"Ok fine i not" i say "however, her training is going well since she's a fast learner and we're way past the basics well at least in human form anyway. I'd say she's now as strong as one of those warrior wolves in her human form and as we all know her demon is bad ass but she still doesn't know how to fight that well in demon form but I've taught her how to conceal her aura which is ridiculously dense by the way and I've shown her how to use said aura to locate others"

"Well that's a lot more than i thought you'd cover since i know her demonic powers are hard to control. But if you can still sense her aura that much it seems I'll have to upgrade the spell i put on her to cloak it"

"Wait you already put a spell on her?" I ask

"But her aura is still so dense are you sure her mother was a human"

"Yes she was and there's an explanation for that, i didn't realize it at first but it was Hades doing"

"What do you mean what does he have to do with Cat's aura besides he hasn't been on this side of the underworld since you guys fought centuries ago and the realm was split in two"

"True but when the old bat found out about me and Olivia he went to earth trying to cause mischief luckily for us he went the night Olivia gave birth he was the one who actually saved Cat as unbelievable as it seems"

"I don't understand, h-how?"

"By the time he found liv she was already dead and that power hungry psycho was chasing the nuns to get to my babygirl that's when Hades stepped in and took her when the nuns were killed however since they were using my blood to track her he had to seal off her demonic side. At first i taught it was lena's doing but it was Hades. In his own twisted way he did me a favour but also got his revenge of sorts. On one hand saved my daughter but he kept her away from me for 16 years placing her in Gabriel's path but not even he knew this was how it would turn out"

"Holy shit" i say in shock

"Holy shit indeed"

"Wait but what does he have to do with her aura"

"Well the bastard did something else to get back at me, he blessed well more like cursed her with an ability to absorb the magical  power of any supernatural creature and unknowingly to her over the years legacy was absorbing all the magic from the people in Cat's old pack as well as the magic he used to chain her"

"Wait so your telling me the princess has the power of a psychotic god inside her"

"Yup"

"Great, at least I'm not the only one" i replied nonchalantly

"You can't tell her any of this though that power is a double edged sword plus i don't want her stressing over it. besides I've already sealed it off as best i could" he warns

"Understood" i say

"Good. By the way we leave at three so tell the others"

"As you wish your highness" i bow leaving his office to go find the knuckle heads i call siblings

Going downstairs to start my search luck is on my side since they're all in the den with their mates watching a movie, I see Catalaya is with them as well.

"Hey guys" i make my presence know

"Hey bro where you been all day" Eric ask

"I was meeting with the king"

"Hey Dre you staying to watch the movie with us?" Cat asks

"Dre!!????" All six of my siblings ask

"Yeah, its short for Andreas it's what I've been calling him since we started training. He was against it at first so we made a bet which i won so now i get to call him Dre" she tells them with a triumphant smile like the one she had that day she won our bet. I let her win though

"Keep telling yourself that" orias says

"Do you ever have anything positive to say to me"

"Nope" he sassed before disappearing to the back of my mind

"Wait he let you call him that?" Brooke asks

"Yeah why do you sound so surprised"

"Uhh nothing" she replied giving me a look which tells me i won't be hearing the end of this

"So are you Dre?" Cat asks

"Am i what?"

"Gonna watch the movie with us"

"Oh, yeah sure. Am gonna go grab some snacks I'll be right back"

"Ok, uh can you bring me something too"

"Yeah no prob"

"I want something too Dre" Liam yells

"Then get it yourself and don't call me that" i retort walking into the kitchen

I grab some snacks and two sodas then went back to the den and took a seat beside Cat. I let her take what she wanted then i took the rest, i could literally feel everyone's eyes on us but i paid them no mind. They were watching Rush hour which was one of my favourite movies so i got comfortable and glued my eyes to the TV.

By the time 2:00 came around Cat was fast asleep with her head in my lap and we'd already watched about four movies.

"Guys its time to get ready lucifer wants us to accompany him to a meeting we leave at three" i tell them since I'd totally forgotten

"Dude your just telling us this now?" Author asks

"I forgot ok sue me"

"I bet its because he was too busy ogling Cat" Jace taunts

"No i was not" i defend

"You totally were" Lucy joins in "And what's up with you allowing her to call you Dre"

"Yeah man no fair I've been wanting to give you a nick name for centuries and you refused" Liam says

"Wait are you and the princess secretly dating?" Eric asks

"No we are not and can we please go get dressed for this meeting i don't want to be late" i try to steer the conversation from me

"Don't try changing the topic we want answers" brooke says

"About what? there is nothing going on between the princess and i now leave me alone" i say picking Cat up in my arms to bring her to her room

"Mmmhmmmmm" Lucy says not convinced

"Whatever" i say walking away from them they're completely crazy

I take Cat up to her room and then went to my own in the east wing on the other side of the castle. I hop in the shower taking a bath, after that i brush my teeth then went to my closet and took out a black three piece suit. I hurriedly put it on then pulled on some dress shoes combed my hair sprayed on some cologne and then am out the door.

I took the elevator to the kings office where i saw Liam Author and Eric waiting.

"Where are the others?"

"You know how long it takes for Lucy and Brooke to get ready and don't even get me started Jace he takes longer than both of them combined" Liam says

"Well Lucifer isn't here yet either so i guess they have a bit of time"

Twenty minutes later the three ladies, yes i included Jace, came rushing down the hall.

"Sorry for the wait guys" Lucy says fixing her earrings

"We're used to you and Brooke taking forever to get ready but where were you?" I say pointing an accusing finger at Jace

"I was getting ready too it takes time to look this good you know"

"You took so long to get ready and that's the best look you could come up" i say

"Burrrrrrnnnnnnn!" Everyone yelled

Just as Jace was about to reply lucifer arrived. Since our little squabble ended in him losing he opted to stick me with his claw releasing some of his venom into my blood stream. Of course it won't kill me but I'll be a sweaty uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

"Good your all here on time, lets go" he says opening a portal.

"Sir if you don't mind me asking why did you ask all seven of us to come with you" Brooke asked

"Well the leaders from Cat's old pack wants my word that i won't attack them but i want you all to search them for any ill intent towards me or my daughter and if there's any you know what to do"

"Understood sir" we replied

We all step into the portal after him coming out on the other side. We find ourself in a huge conference like room with a giant round table and there sat the seven leaders of the most prominent species on earth as well as countless guards and four teens who sat with their head hung low.

Busting out in a loud laugh Lucifer says "why do i feel like i just stepped into Camelot. Well hello knights of the round table" he gives a mock bow

"You were always one for jokes brother" a strong voice says echoing through the room

We could feel the persons power before we even saw him. Then out of thin air appeared Head arch angel Micheal the strongest angel of the silver city"

"Hello Micheal, i should have know you'd find yourself here" Lucifer spat

"Why such animosity brother are you not glad to see me after all these centuries. Besides I'm the one who orchestrated this meeting i just asked Adam to hand you your invitation since you wouldn't have came if i asked" Micheal replies

"Well I'm glad you know i wouldn't and with that I'll take my leave. Lets go guys" Lucifer says opening a portal

"Lucifer wait!"

"We have nothing to talk about Micheal" Lucifer says putting one foot through the portal

"Yes we do"

"I don't want to hear a word from your lying mouth" lucifer says about to fully enter the portal

"Gabriel escaped" Micheal rushed out

Lucifer stopped and the portal immediately disappeared. I could see his demeanor change he was no longer the fun loving king or caring father we knew he was in full on devil mode. Eyes red wings spread and claws extended ready to kill even a fly in one swift motion of it dared cross his path.

"Tell me everything" he demanded taking his seat at the table

And with that the meeting began.
