Synestra’s P.O.V.
The next two weeks went by in the same routine. Azazel would visit daily bringing me meals and clothes. He would typically stay and chat for a while. Over the two weeks we had become close. He would answer questions and tell me about his personal life. He told me alot about his life growing up in the palace and what Damien was like as a child. I still hadn’t forgiven Damien but I think I was starting to understand him more. I had been worried about my mother and what she would think with me being gone. Azazel told me Lucifer had used his powers to make my mother believe I was home as usual so that she wouldn't be worried. I was terrified that Lucifer had these types of powers but also thankful that she would not worry. Azazel had promised my mother was safe and I believed him. Each night Azazel would bring me a new dress that I was expected to wear to dinner with L
Damien’s P.O.V.My mind was all over the place, This was my chance to show her who I am, who I really am. I was excited and terrified all at once. Would she accept me? Would she be afraid of me? Could she ever possibly love someone like me? The thought that of making her my wife sent goosebumps all over my body. She was the only one who had that effect on me. I constantly felt like I had a fire burning inside me just beneath my skin and it wouldn’t take much to consume me. She cooled that fire and made me feel in control again. I had to make sure this night was everything she was hoping for in a mate, I can't risk losing her.I decided to start our night at Club Diablo. I had brought her here once before but I felt this was a critical first step as this was the place I had spent so much time in, perfecting my deal making craft. I p
Synestra’s P.O.V.I slammed my foot on the gas pedal as I intensely stared down the officer driving towards me. Somehow I knew he would give in first. The adrenaline was running through me like pure electricity in my veins. I knew what I was doing was wrong, it was completely out of character for me. I was the good girl, the one who always got good grades and never did anything wrong. I wasn't sure what had come over me but I was enjoying every second of it. I laughed out loud, feeling the electricity flowing through my body. It felt like bubbles in a hot tub moving up my body and clouding my brain. The officer’s eyes grew large as he came to the realization that I was not going to turn and he yanked the steering wheel to the left. I screamed in celebration. I knew I should be concerned for the fact that I was now on the run from the police but I couldn't bring myself to care. I glanced over at
Synestra’s P.O.V.We made it back to the palace quickly. Lucifer was waiting in the throne room when we arrived and we were ushered directly to him. He had a strange smirk on his face as we arrived. I could feel the emotions rolling off of him. Waves of pride and something that resembled happiness washed over me.“So how was the night out?” He asked with a smug smile. If I was to trust my instincts I would have to think he knew exactly how our night had gone. “I hear our princess enjoys being a little bad.”“Well being good never got me anywhere but locked in a room in your palace.” I hissed ”I thought maybe I should give your way a try.” I was angry with him for keeping me here but there was a side of me that enjoyed it. I felt like a completely different
Synestra’s P.O.V.“You were lucky I was jogging in the area and heard you screaming.” He said. “Are you ok? Let's get you out of here. My name is Syrus, It is nice to meet you.? He smiled.I couldn't catch my breath, I was so thankful that someone had been near. I couldn't believe this had happened. So many thoughts had been swirling around my head. I had a feeling Lillith had been behind this. I was so upset with myself for allowing this to happen. How could I have been so weak?I took Syrus’ hand and he helped me to my feet. “Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come by. It’s actually really embarrassing. How did you throw him so hard?”“Oh it was nothing, you really should learn some
Synestra’s P.O.V.I stood there lost in the hug with Gabe. His muscular arms around me, I felt safe, felt whole again. I inhaled his scent slowly, savoring the familiar woodsy scent with a hint of something sweet. I hadn't realized how much I had missed him. I almost didn't hear him when he spoke.“Is this why you have been gone so long?” He asked, pulling back to look in my eyes with his hands gripping my shoulders. “Who is this Synestra? Is this who you have been with for the past two weeks? You have had us all worried to death.” I could feel the sincerity in his words and a tinge of guilt ran through me. I wasn't sure if the guilt was for being gone so long, for worrying my friends, or for the things that had happened with Damien while I was gone without even a second thought of Gabe.
Synestra's P.O.V.“Sorry for the dust we don't use this much. Make yourself at home, I am going to put our bags in the bedroom.” Gabe told me as he started towards the bedroom “Fair warning there is only one. I hope that is ok. I can sleep on the floor. I would say I would sleep on the couch but with everything you have been through I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone.” I nodded and followed him to the bedroom. Walking through the cabin I was taking it all in. The place was very small but cozy. The bedroom had a king size bed and two nightstands and not much else. The bathroom was attached to the bedroom and though it was small it had a shower large enough for two. The kitchen and living room were an open space and there was a small dining table only big enough for two.I yawned, exhausted from the long day I had. I laid on the bed and motioned for Gabe to join m
Damien’s P.O.V.After synestra had stormed out of the dining room I decided to let her have the rest of the night to cool down. I didn't want her to feel like I was pushing this marriage on her if it wasn't what she wanted. The truth was I knew this may have been moving fast for her. I may have been in love with ther for years but for her she was still getting to know me. I had hoped that finishing the mating process would have made her feelings for me intensify, this was the point of marking her and I couldn't understand why the bond wasn't as strong for her as it was for me. I had never heard of a demon completing the mating process and not having the strong mate bond on both ends. The feelings I had for her had escalated to the point that shwe was all I could think of. I craved her, her presence, her touch, her scent. Everything about her.The ne
Gabe’s P.O.V.Synestra had told me she trusted me. She had chosen me because of her trust in me. Yet I was lying to her, about everything. I wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her there was so much more on the line than our feelings for one another. I was honestly surprised that the demon hadn't already told her what I am just to try to turn her away from me. I wondered if he realized there was an emotional connection between Synestra and myself.We had been in this cabin for five days and the bond between us was only growing. We spent most of our days hanging out and getting to know each other on a deeper level. We traded stories about how we had grown up and the people we cared about. Some days we would swim in the lake, others we would lay in the hammock
