Ashlyn's POV Lucifer returned back and began to take off his boots. "What did you go down to do? I heard voices." I said to him. "Just a little amount of what I would do to who pulled such stunt tonight." He replied. He discarded his clothes too and walked towards the bed. "I told you to let it be." I said to him. "And I do not obey orders given to me," he said, laying down beside me. "I give orders, not take them." He added, pulling the plaid off me and tugging at the zipper of my dress. I stared at him. "Should you not spare me for tonight?" I asked him, having the feeling he wanted to have sex with me. He raised a brow. "What do you think I want to do?" He asked me. "You know it." I replied, as he lifted me up, pulling the dress off me and throwing it to the floor. "Yes, I do know what I want to do." He said and as he got rid of my clothes, he pulled me closer, entwining his legs with mine. His arms wrapped around me and my body crushed on his. "Body heat is the fastest wa
Ashlyn's POV She did return and I was giving a one of a kind treatment. My nails were attended to and were perfectly manicured with a lacquer cobalt blue nail polish and so were my feet. I had even experienced how it was to be treated in a spa. The cucumbers placed on my eyes and the facial cream mask I had to wear. My hair was straightened behind my back and the tips were curled up and when it was evening, I was slipped into the sleeveless dress. The diamond necklace placed around my neck sparkled alongside the draping earrings in my ear holes. The wristlet too, fitted around my wrist and staring at the mirror, I was lost for words. Catriona had performed magic on my face. My eyebrows were highlighted and arched. On my lips was a cherry red lipstick and everything blended so well with my complexion. I slipped into the heels and Catriona latched the straps around my ankles. I picked up the bottle of perfume and sprayed it behind my ears, each side of my neck and finally on each o
Lucifer's POV We spent days at the waterfall and every morning was a whole different experience for me. I began to see the good in everything. I began to admire the sun, appreciating the beautiful blue skies. I appreciated nature too and there was this radiant smile on my face and it was coming right from inside of me. I was full of happiness and joy. Was this what it was to be truly in love? I had no doubts it was. The feelings was so pure and true. I would do anything to make this feeling last forever. Not only I was having this same glow in and out of me. Ash was having it too. Her smiles and laughter were never ending and they were very infectious on me. Her vibrance had its effects on me too. I would do whatever it takes to keep her this way. Keep her happy. Keep her smiling. Never a single day would she have a cause to be sad. Never would I let her have a reason to regret giving me her heart. I stood before the waterfall having beautiful thoughts about her and the very image
Lucifer's POVThe beating of my heart pounded in my heart so hard I could feel my ears drumming as every bit of blood felt like it was draining from my body. I felt like I was in a dream. Like I was standing in front of an illusion. It was impossible. The dead could not come back to life. Not in this part of Glasgow. Witches have been in extinct and any one caught in the act was executed. Flashes of the night she died went through my head. I killed her myself. Not intentionally, but I did murder her. She smiled. Exactly as before. There was not a single change in her either. Was I hallucinating? No. I have not even thought of her for a very long time. "Is this a way to welcome your love back, Lucifer?" She asked, still with a smile. Hopefully someone would wake me up from this dream. This was a dream, I was sure of it. "This cannot be true." I said, finding it hard to breathe properly and momentarily forgetting Ashlyn was by my side. She smiled again. "It is true, Lucifer. I have
Lucifer's POV I would never have believed it even in my wildest dreams that Celine would ever return here. To me. I did not have the luxury to ask her why now for this new development has suddenly brought unexplainable chaos to my life. I laid on the bed with Ashlyn curled to my body, locking her away from hearing my thoughts as Celine flooded my head. Images of how we met and the few months I had spent with her. I did not know what I should call the affection I had for her back then. Was it love or was it just pure attraction? One thing I could agree to was it was different from what I was feeling for Ashlyn. Way different from it. My love for Ashlyn was unconditional and.. Just then, my thoughts was interrupted by several knocks on the door. Ashlyn stirred up in her sleep. "Who could that be?" She asked. "I do not know," I said to her. "Let me see who it is." I added, placing a kiss on her head and leaving the bed. I walked towards the door and opened it. There was Celine standi
Ashlyn's POV Dawn took extremely too long to come and I guessed it was due to my over excitement for today. Noon did the same thing and when evening slowly approached, I was seated in front of the vanity mirror with Roselia and a couple other ladies beside me. Catriona had returned back to her homeland with her brother and it was crazy how much I missed having her around. Right now, I was surrounded by ladies I see in the pack, but do not know them and that I had barely associated with. It was all going to change when I finally become the Lady of the house. The Luna of the Nightwing pack. Fuss was made over my nails of what nail polish color would fit perfectly on it. I let them make the fuss cause I did not care much about it. I just wanted to be linked arm in arm with my groom and tell him ' I do'. They finally decided on a chic blue nail polish coupled with a glitter lacquer polish for design. It did turn out great and my toe nails were given a nude nail polish color after mi
Ashlyn's POV He was no longer wearing his wedding attire, but his usual signature look. Long black breeks, knee boots and sleeves unbuttoned to his chest. "Satisfied your cravings?" He asked me, not in a cold, harsh or sweet way. I could not tell what he was thinking, for he was not portraying any emotions. I shook my head. "I did not do it. I controlled myself." I said to him. Anger flashed in his eyes and he quickly masked it. "Good for you." He said rising to his feet and walked past me. "I'm sorry." I said turning around to his retreating figure. I did not know if he wanted an apology, but to me he deserved it. He turned around sharply and this time I could see his emotions. It was anger and he was trying to control it. "For what?" He asked in pretense. "For leaving when the wedding was still in hold." I replied, looking down at my feet. The smell of blood was not gone and I was beginning to wonder where it was from. "Spare me." He said, walking away. "Lucifer, please, I'
Lucifer's POV I sat on the couch rubbing my aching neck the next morning. I was not fully awake yet due to the fact that I had a very uncomfortable and sleepless night. I had slept on the couch due to my anger towards Ash, and now I was regretting it. Maybe I should not have gone to sleep while still upset with her but, I just could not believe what she had come up with just for me to look past her mistake. Steel too had added to my sleepless night with his talks and anger toward me. I was glad he finally kept quiet this morning. "Did you sleep on the couch?" I heard Celine's voice and looked up to see her standing behind a couch opposite me. I groaned. "Yeah, I did," I said to her. "On your wedding night?" She asked raising a brow. I frowned at her. "Are you here to mock me or say something better?" I asked her. I was not in a big mood for taunts or teasing. She knew very well I did not get married yesterday. "Why would I mock you, Lucifer? You claim she's your mate and she cl
