#Chapter29Starting Over-01Catalaya's POVIt's been a week since we left the pack, and honestly, it has been the best week of my life. First, I got to learn all about my mom. Dad even gave me a framed picture of her. Then, now I knew where the skin colour comes from. Finally, I recalled the conversation being an emotional one.FlashbackWe had just returned from our old pack. Samael and Merlin took Dominic to his new room where he could rest. Then, the girls made a b-line for the kitchen while dad and I went to Sam's office for a long overdue talk, so we made our way upstairs.Sitting on the couch beside dad, I said,"So what did you want to talk to me about dad?" "I think you know that already Catty."Sighed, "yah I know, its just I was hoping it was something different.""If your not ready to talk about it, you don't have to, your friends already gave me the run down.""No it's ok, I want to tell you but you have to promise me not to interrupt until
#Chapter30Starting Over-02As for my powers, Dad and Dominic performed a ritual to release my restraints and any remainder of the bond I had with Noah along with it, so now Legacy and I can communicate freely. Also, I'm able to transform just like everyone else, and I'm currently in training to control my awesome powers.Legacy is an elemental demon she is also ancient, as in thousands of years old kind of ancient."I heard that asshole."She is very wise, knows a lot, and her demon form is awesome. She's an elemental demon which is totally awesome. But controlling our powers is really hard. Being imprisoned for sixteen years, Legacy didn't have much control. And me being practically human all my life, I was completely clueless when it came to having powers. As a result, I almost burnt down the house once and froze the entire kitchen, trying to freeze my molten ice cream.I also have two giant black wings. Alana helped with my flying skills and spell casting, I have ma
#Chapter31Starting Over-03"Oh my gosh, really?" Sam gave an incredulous gasp as he and Adonis stepped through the front door."Dad is really something else he couldn't send a normal vehicle." he chuckled amusedly while Adonis barked out a laugh."Wait this isn't the type of transportation used in the underworld?" I asked."Of course not, it's the 21st century, not the 1800s. The layout of the realm is similar to earth babe." Adonis replied, dropping in the pet name he calls me."Oh ok, I just assumed this was the norm since a carriage was sent to pick us up.""Well I guess you do have a point. Something you should know, our father has a weird sense of humor also I think he was just going for the fairytale style with this kind of 'vehicle'." Samael said.He and Adonis climbed into the carriage. After Tarloc took their bags, they closed the door, and we were off."So who's ready to explore the underworld? Its understandable if you're a bit anxious." A
#Chapter32Starting Over-04"Its nothing big or fancy honey just a little get together with the people so they can properly meet their princess and also you will be crowned." he said."But- but -but,""No buts sis it'll be fine and absolutely fun. You'll get to meet people your age and maybe even find a boyfriend." Sam said, popping up beside us."The hell she will she's not allowed to have a boyfriend until she's at least a thousand years old." dad growled."Uh oh I see the over protectiveness has chipped in," Adonis mused."Oh come now father surely a man at your age is looking for a grandkid or two." Sam teased, making dad's eyes go as wide as saucers."LILITH!!!!!" Dad yelled, and I saw Sam's smile drop as his face paled."Who's Lilith?" I asked, confused."I am," a strange voice said.My friends and I turned to see a familiar-looking woman. I just couldn't remember where I'd seen her before. Then, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Samael slowly b
#Chapter33Starting Over-05This time he turned and made a run for it in the direction we were coming from. I felt terrible for attacking him even though he was just chasing me to eat me, and I didn't really attack him. It was accidental. However, as he was completely scared of me, I needed him to find my way out of this place since he obviously knows the layout and can talk, which is still blowing my mind, so I thought it best to apologize."Wait," I said, taking a step forward only to take one step back as a giant dirt wall appeared before me, blocking me off from the running Cerberus."Legacy what the heck is going on?" I asked."Sorry hun, I'm still getting used to having my powers again," she replied.Suddenly I sensed someone appears behind me. I quickly turned around, instantly taking on a defensive stance; black fire appeared around my fists."What tha-""CAT!" My dad's voice yelled.Looking up, I saw my father with a look of worry, shock and relief on
#Chapter34Welcome Home Pt 1-01Catalaya's POVI woke up around seven in the morning feeling groggy and lightheaded. My stomach felt like it was being grated. 'Why the heck do I feel like this?' I thought to myself."You need food honey you've been running on fumes since the day you crashed. With everything going on and you fainting or falling asleep every five minutes you haven't had a proper meal." Legacy's voice popped into my head.Now that I thought about it, she's right. I haven't had a good meal in days. I was so busy with everything that happened when I found Sam and dad, and that food was the last thing on my mind. Dragging myself off the bed, I headed to my en suite bathroom to see all my toiletries packed away and made a mental note to thank whoever did it. I took a nice long shower and washed my hair, then I got dressed in some sweats and a tank top and tried to find my way around this huge house-castle thingy.Following the scent of waffles, I found my
#Chapter35Welcome Home Pt 1-02I then went on to relay everything that had happened from the moment I teleported to Tartarus to me seeing my own aura for the first time. They laughed at Cerberus' reaction towards me and were amazed when they asked me to show them how I looked in demon form and my aura. Dad had explained to me that hell was divided into three layers. Limbo, Assiah and purgatory. Assiah is where we are at the moment. It's the uppermost layer of hell and where all of its citizens reside.Limbo is where the souls of the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, who, although not sinful enough to warrant damnation, did not accept Christ, go. In this region lies the river of souls, which is pretty much self-explanatory. He said if a soul who was not sentenced there falls into the river, it'll be lost forever.Purgatory is the place of punishment for the spirits of the dead. It is where the wicked and damned are punished for their sins over and over again in eternal
#Chapter36Welcome Home Pt 1-03Dad then turned to the rest of my friends to introduce them. "Beside Cat is the only known as demi-human in all the realms, Merlin Mathers, Son of the lightening God Zeus and Renae Mathers. Beside him is Alana Lockwood, daughter of Sylvia and Gabriel Lockwood, Dominic Morningstar, my adopted son; Harlequin Mathews, daughter of the fairy king and queen; Aquarius Waters, daughter of king Adam of the seven seas, and last but certainly not least, Freya Jamieson, daughter of the vampire king and queen."Did he just say Dominic Morningstar? And adopted son?? When did this happen? I was so confused.When dad finished introducing us all, everyone had shocked expressions on their faces. Although they looked like God himself had just appeared before them in all his glory, they looked utterly gobsmacked."Uhh is something wrong?" I whispered to dad.Before he could answer, Leviathan shouted, "what the hell Luci are you looking for a war or something
