Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Going Back

ALANA'S POV

I look around the spacious elegant room i spent the last two months in, feelings of reminisce present. I thought back to all the moments lucy and i shared in here the days when my friends and i would stay couped up in here for hours watching movie marathons and teasing each other, especially Cat. The laughter, the joy and happiness we experienced, it really was the best summer ever but now i have this nerve racking feeling and i can't shake it

"Babe, could you pick something out for me to wear" lucy calls from the bathroom

"Ok" i reply getting up from the bed where i sat

Opening her suitcase i carefully go through it to find something for her to wear. I pull out some jeans and a black blouse that had 'no days off' written on it and some under garments, i closed it then went to another bag that had her shoes and grabbed a pair of white converse. As soon i zipped up the bag the bathroom door opens and out walks Lucy with a towel wrapped around her

"They're on the bed" i point to the clothes i picked out

"Thanks" she says with a chaste kiss on the lips

When she pulled away she looked at me with a confused look in her eyes

"Are you ok?" She asks

"Yeah am fine why'd you ask"

"Because i can sense that there's something wrong, are you sure you're ok" she quiz

"Yeah am fine i promise" i say slightly rubbing my hands together

"No... no you're not, you're not ok somethings wrong you're rubbing your hands together like you're nervous about something"

"Am not nervous about anything what would i be nervous about?" I ask as she goes to put on her clothes

"I dont know, you tell me"

"There's nothing to tell because I'm not nervous"

"Is it about going back to school because i highly doubt anything's changed that much"

"No its not, i don't care about school my IQ is higher than my teacher's"

"Brag much" she smirked

"Whatever" i fan her off with a small smile

"But seriously though i know something's bothering you so just tell me what it is" she insists

"Lu its nothing, i just.... I don't know, i have a weird feeling about all this"

"About what? Going back to earth"

"Going back to earth going back to school going back home" i tell her

"Going back with me?" She asks

"Especially going back with you"

"Why?"

"Because I'm an angel and your a demonic witch and most importantly the Sin of envy"

"So? What's wrong with that" she asks

"Everything!" I yell unintentionally

"Oh, now i get whats bugging you. Its not about just going back its about going back with me, are you ashamed that your mate is a Sin"

"No of course not"

She looked at me as if searching for something then she scoffed before saying

"Your not ashamed I'm a Sin, just that I'm a girl"

"Lucy i-"

"No its ok you don't have to say anything hell you don't even have to tell anyone I'm your mate just tell them I'm another one of the princess's guards" she says as she ties her lace and walk out the bedroom door

"Lucy wait" i call out

"What" she says turning to look at me anger and hurt visible in her eyes before they disappeared

"I'm not ashamed of you being my mate. Not because your a girl or a Sin. I- I'm just nervous becasue i have no idea how my mom will react because apart from you and my friends she's the only family i have left. My dad is a psycho fallen angel and my brother is an abusive jerk and mom's always wanted me to take my father's place as the next archangel and it was already hard because I'm a girl and a hybrid but now that i found you and all that has happened that dream is now gone" i explain

"You say your mother wanted you to succeed your father but i dont care about that, i wanna know what you want. So what is it that you want Alana?"

"Honestly, i don't know what i want. My life has always been surround by the needs of others, whether its my parents or Cat i never actually stopped to think about me"

"Yeah well guess what when you figure out exactly what it is you want then let me know" she says walking out the door leaving me with unshed tears and a burning feeling in my chest.

LUCIFER'S POV

Today I'm the world's saddest dad. It feels like just yesterday Sam called to say my little girl has finally been found and today she's leaving me. Why is life so cruel my little baby is all grown up she even has a boyfriend, now I'll have to compete for her attention.

"Come on dad its not that bad" Sam says for the hundreth time

"Not bad!? How can you say that. Oh wait you can since she'll be living with you and I'll be left here all alone to whither away"

"I honestly can't take you serious right now" he laughs

"Go ahead and laugh i hope when you and Adonis have kids you don't complain when they get older and leave you"

"Dad your acting as if Cat's leaving forever. She promised she'd come back on wekends and you can visit her whenever you want or she can come here we'll be just a portal away" he reasoned

"A portal away and yet it feels like we'll be galaxies apart" i sigh

"Hahahaha. Your crazy you know that, i pity the poor damned souls you reign over"

"Oh please I'm a magnificent king" i boast

"More like a mentally challenged king" he retorts under his breath

"Lilith!" I yell

"Dad no no no no I'm sorry i take it back. Come on I'm your son your only son where's the love"

"Oh really. Well i have two extra sons Adonis and Nic so I'm not at a loss besides weren't you the one who said i should be happy if Cat gets a boyfriend then I'll have lots of grandkids so you see i can manage to hand you over to your mother"

"But if you let her take me who's gonna laugh at your jokes and take your side even when your argument makes absolutely no sense and your points are unsubstantial"

"Hmmm, fine i wont hand you over to her on one condition" i say

"Which is"

"I want a grand child you have three months"

"Wha- how am i suppose to give you a grandchild in three months it takes longer than that to even find surrogates plus i don't even know how Adonis feels about having kids"

"You may not know how he feels but i do" i grinned

Realization hits as soon as i say that since his face took on a knowing expression

"He set you up for this didn't he?"

"Nope, we planned it together along with lilith"

"You can come on out now Adonis" i say

Immediately Adonis walks out through the door that led to the bathroom in my office with a sheepish look on his face, i swear that boy is too shy for his own good. He's been wanting to tell Sam about having kids for sometime now but he didn't know how to tell him. Sam and Adonis have been together for quite some years now and trust me when i say they've gone through the wringer countless times whether its their lives being in danger or their relationship.

Life wasn't easy for Adonis when he first found Sam since he lost his entire family in the war plus he hadn't come into his power as yet so he was challenged by many in hell and on earth for his right as Sam's mate. Then after he proved himself countless times and grew into his power he was being hunted due to the fact that he was the last fire elemental of his tribe who had been know for their ability to channel their ancestors power.

These and a lot more things cause great strains on their relationship and even at one point they decided it would be best if they broke their bond. That's when lilith and i stepped in to give them a little guidance back to the right path. If most human couples went through one quarts of the things they have they would've broken up twenty lifetimes over which is why I'm so proud of them and the values they uphold despite all the odds.

But as much as i love them both i really do, Sam can be quite oblivious sometimes and Adonis is too shy for his own good. He has his moments when he's out going I've been noticing it occurs more frequently since Cat and the others came here but he still has his shy streak and now is definitely a time when its shining.

"Babe why didn't you tell me you wanted kids" Sam says walking up to Adonis

"Because you were so busy looking for Cat i didn't want to bother you and then after we found her and everything settled down i kept leaving hints and clues but you just weren't getting the message and i didn't know how to come out and say it" Adonis tells him

"Sigh, i know I can be an oblivious fool sometimes and I'm sorry i didn't notice but i want you to talk to me ok"

"I will and I'm sorry i got lucifer to trap you"

Laughing Sam says "its ok he'd have done it anyway. But next time if your gonna do that use anyone except my parents even if its a total stranger i mean it anyone else but them"

"You do know i can hear you right" i say. Sam only turns to stick his tongue out at me like the man child he is before placing his attention back on Adonis pulling him into a kiss

"Alright, i didn't call you here watch you two suck faces i have actual business to discuss"i say

With a depressed sigh Sam pulled away from Adonis and they both took a seat in front my desk giving me their undivided attention.

"So what did you want to discuss" Adonis asks

"Gabriel" i say watching as both their faces turn stoic at the mention of that bastards name

"What about him?" Sam asks

"The reason i asked Andreas to accompany Cat to earth is because i know Gabriel will come after her especially since she's grown into her powers"

"But i thought you said Micheal has a plan to catch Gabriel"

"He may have a plan but I'm 100% sure that plan doesn't assure the safety of my child and whislt we may have a common enemy now at the end of the day Micheal is still head Archangel and he wants Gabriel no matter what even if it means using Cat as bait"

"So what's are you planning on doing? find him before they do"

"Nah that's too simple plus plans like those never work anyway its too easy and not enough factors are in place. We need to let him come to us, we have to approach this like a game of chess and I've already made my first move" i say with a devilish grin

ANDREAS POV

Uneasy

Thats the way i feel right now

Why do i feel uneasy when yesterday was the best day of my life you may be wondering, well there's three reason for this

First being the fact that the king of hell placed me in charge of the well being of his daughter the princess, who is also the commander of my siblings and I. Second, we're leaving for earth today and knowing what i know the knowledge of what is to come makes me very uneasy about Cat being away from the protection of our realm. And third, lucifer threatened that if one strand of raven black hair goes missing from Cat's head he's gonna introduce me to a world of hurt never felt before, and i dont know about anyone else but i don't wanna know what that feels like, so here i am trying to will this feeling to go away so i can help Cat pack like i said i would.

"......re, DRE!" A voice yells bringing me from my slight mental breakdown

"Huh?" I say turning to see Cat looking at me with blazing eyes

"What happened?" I ask confused

"What happened? Are you really asking that, well I'll tell you what happened. Absolutely nothing thats what. You've been standing here staring at the wall for twenty minutes now while i sat here talking to myself and doing all the packing by myself" she yells angrily, her cheeks puffing out

She looked so cute i couldn't take her seriously and i really wanted to laugh at her expression but since i really wanted to keep my life more i used my better judgement and kept my laughter under wraps.

"Am sorry i just have alot on my mind" i tell her

That was a bad idea since she immediately stopped folding as a worried look took over her beautiful face. She got up from where she sat on the bed and walked over to me

"What's wrong?" She asks

"Nothing, i was just thinking about stuff like if it was a good idea to ask that trouble maker leviathan to look after my territory while I'm away"

"The fact that you think I'd believe that is horrible, you do know i can tell when your lying"

"I'm not and you need to stop using those devil eyes on me"

"I didn't use my eyes becasue i don't need them i know your tell"

"Is that so?"

"Yup"

"And what is my tell Ms Morningstar"

"When you lie your brows twitch right here, Mr uh-. What is your surname anyway? I just realized i don't know yours or the other sin's"

"What? Of course you do it's wrath"

"That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, your surnames are your tiltles?"

"And what so wrong with that?" I ask

"Because if your gonna get married one day what kind of name is that, Mr and Mrs wrath. Its just so weird even amongst weird names"

"Well damn i didnt know you were thinking that far ahead" i say stepping closer to her with a smile

"W-what i-i wasn't talking about me" she stutters

"Hmm, and who we're you talking about then" i ask as i pull her closer by the waist

"I-i, i dont know. Just generally speaking like if you meet somebody and you guys decide to take that step not that our kind normally does that but you never know"

"Ohh i see, but I'll say this from now there will be no one else for me but you Cat"

"You don't know that, you might say this now and a few centuries down the line its a different story"

"I can say it with the utmost confidence because its true and as for marriage we'll cross that bridge when we get there" i say with a wink

"I think I'll have the final say in that" lucifers voice echoes in my head and from the look on Cat's face i could tell she heard it too

"Dad stop eavesdropping on us" Cat yells out loud

"Its not snooping when you have ears as good as mine sweetheart i hear everything that goes on in this castle. Some I'd rather not but it is what it is"

"Yeah well the same way I'm sure you block out what you don't want to hear you can do the same to our conversation" Cat retorts

"Fine, be like that. I'll just go torment Sam then" lucifer huffs before he retreated from our minds

Cat and i barked out a laugh as soon as he was gone. Sometimes i find it hard to believe that this man is actually the scary man i saw in that room the day we met with Arch-angel Micheal, that day is one I'll never forget.

"Anyways, lets finish packing i don't want everyone waiting on me when its time to leave" Cat says

I reluctantly let go of her so we could continue working. A small smile found its way to my lips as i stole glances at her whilst folding the clothes. I still find this hard to believe, I never once in all my life thought the day would come when I'd meet someone who would accept me for who i am, the good the bad and the ugly.

After emelia was taken from me i never thought I'd be interested in anyone again. And though i've been with many women some with wonderful characters and others not so much i have never felt for them the way i do with Cat. I wouldn't say its love because lets be honest i don't think I'm capable of loving again and it's not because i lost my mate but because of all the rage and hate in my heart. When i told Cat that Aphrodite sealed her rage and hatred in my heart it was not metaphoric she did do that and as a result left my soul broken.

My heart has been blackened by not just her rage but also the anger hatred and self loathing that i possess, all this negative energy tainted my heart which is why I'm able to judge the souls sent to my faction so accurately and why I'm such a good warrior because my wrath knows no bounds and it is my fuel.

"So, I've been meaning to ask, since your suppose to be my trainer/bodyguard/boyfriend, are you coming to school with me as well?" Cat asks

"I didn't think about that part really but if you want me to i will"

"Its not about what i want Dre its your choice"

"I know and I'm chosing to do whatever you want, so do you want me to accompany you to school or not"

"Yes, I'd feel much better if you were there"

"Good and so would i. Besides i would have still came if you said no since your dad told me to make sure you never leave my sight" i say making her roll her eyes

"Of course he did. And thats an absurd order since I'll leave your sight either way"

"The hell you will! I want you near me at all times especially at school"

"Oh really and what if i have to go to the bathroom"

"Uh well...."

"Thats what i thought" she says smugly

"Don't push it or i might just have to accompany you there too especially in the shower" i tease

"Ha as if I'd let you in there"

"Of course you would besides i read somewhere that taking baths together saves water which assists in saving the earth so we could do that, i'll wash your back and you wash mine and if your up to it we could do other things too since the bathroom isn't exactly limited to showers in fact i heard its multipurpose" i say crawling over to her on the bed

I make my way to her smirking as her cheeks heat up. I know she's shy and of course we wouldn't actually do anything i just like messing with her plus when she gets like this she's too disoriented to back away from me.

"Since your hesitant about showers can i get a kiss then" i negotiate

"N-no" she manages to let out

"Please" i tried again but her answer remained the same

"Fine" i say then proceeded to kiss her on the cheek

I placed a soft kiss on her left cheek then the right, i slowly moved down to her neck watching as she tries to remain undisturbed by my actions but when she slighty squeezed my shoulder where her hands rested i knew she was affected. I continued to kiss her neck as she closed her eyes enjoying the feeling then i suddenly pulled away and said with a smirk

"Can i have a kiss now"

"No" she mumbled

Chuckling i turned her head quickly placing my lips on hers locking them in a passionate kiss. As fun as it would be to mess with her then leave her hanging i just couldn't plus i'd probably loose a limb. Besides i wanted to kiss her as much as she wanted to kiss me, which is alot even though she's too shy to admit it. Cat turned her body to set comfortable while slowly laying back which resulted in me being slightly on top of her as i moved to deepened the kiss.

Though she is relatively new at this she is a great kisser and from time to time she'd fight me for dominance. Being here right now in this make out session we're having felt better than anything I've ever felt in my life but as the kiss got deeper and more heated i decided to pull away much to mine and Orias' dismay, but i didn't want it to get too far i wanted her to feel confortable at all times and not feel like she has to rush into anything.

"Are you sure dad gave you the right title because i think he should have made you the Sin of lust instead of wrath" she says trying to catch her breath

With a soft laugh and a wiggle of my eyebrows i say "I'll be anything you want me to be"

I could tell she was blushing hard but she tried to cover it up with a tough act by saying

"Good, because right now i need you to be a folder, now get back to folding"

I simply laughed before pulling away going back to where i sat, picking up the blouse i had earlier and began folding once again with the a Cheshire grin on my face.
