Chapter nine

Lucifer's POV

The over protective part of me had taken control when I sensed her falling from the horse the minute I walked into the stable.

I hated that part of me, but I could not control it. It was something I had no power over.

Punishment she deserved and punishment she would get. I pulled her by the hair out of the stables and she whimpered.

"Let go of me." She ordered. How dare she order me?!
