Uriel
The gentle touch on my chin lifted my head slightly. My eyelids widened at the woman that I saw. Mom stood there in her pretty white sundress and her favorite gold laurel crown on her head. Her eyes held that same warmth I used to know every morning when I woke up, her cheeks rosy like she had been smiling too much. "Mom?" I questioned. Did I fall asleep again? I wouldn't doubt it because sometimes a great long sleep followed after a good cry."Hello, Uriel," her knees bent down to meet me on the floor. "Your father and I wanted to check on you." Her voice held the softness she had when she put me to bed before reading to me every night. I had a whole mess of information to sort out, and she was the first person I needed to talk to. I bit my inner cheek, trying not to remember the happy times when I was utterly ignorant."You've kept secrets from me," I whispered, turning my head and standing. Walking towards the bed, I pulled up Mr. Rainbow Farts and clenched h"Your. What?" Mom's deathly silence after each separated word had me cower. I had some courage before, but this was another side of mom I had not seen. Her eyes darkened as she tried to grip the sheets beside me. "How do you know this? He's lying," she spat."He is my mate," I sat back up to defend him. "I feel the tingles when we touch. I'm drawn to him. I love him. He is everything that you and dad have." Mom sighed, slouching over herself."This day keeps getting better and better," she uttered. I knew that was a lie without having to feel it through my chest. Was she that upset that I found my mate? How rude of her to think of such a thing. To try to be angry about something so special that she and dad had together and want to deny me of it. My heart twisted in my chest. Did she not care for me at all and my feelings on any matter whatsoever?
HeraLucifer lunged towards me, his eyes red and black seeping down his eyes like cobwebs. Looking at my beloved daughter one more time, I covered myself with my arm, blinking twice to end the apparition. I fell from the table I stood on, my loving mate, Michael, catching me in his arms.Falling lifelessly, being cradled into his chest, I pulled at his loose tunic as he led me to the couch. It was a simple living arrangement that we had acquired on Earth in one of the many hotels that Zeus actually owned. He would never know we were here in this apartment building because I oversaw the real estate properties of Earth.This typical apartment was a basic one bedroom. Beautiful granite countertops in the kitchen and large windows overlooking the New York skylight. The square footage was incomparably more pe
LuciferUriel flashed her ass in front of me. I took my thumb and wiped it across my lips and smiled as she giggled trotting down the hall. My heart leapt in my chest at how she could be such a tease, my little bunny more than willing to show herself to me without fear. She was the only woman alive that shown such innocence and purity, it immediately made me think of awful things to do to her. Pleasantly awful.She pranced down the hall; her dress swaying side to side, half her hair pinned up in a neat little bow that fell down her back. It was completely oversized, giving her such a youthful look for a mere twenty-five year old.My steps widened to catch up, causing her to squeal in excitement as she now ran down the hall in chase. My heart lightened, enjoying this new game. She would not win.It was hard for me to understand just fifteen minutes ago that my heart’s desire was troubled. I felt it in my fath
UrielI groaned into the sheets, my fists twisting the bedding as I tried to get up. The last thing I remembered was eating an enormous German Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on the side. It was so good; I swear I could still taste it on my lips. My belly was completely full, full of all the sugary things I had been wanting since arriving here.Luci’s family ate way too much meat and veggies, it was beyond disgusting. I still haven’t found the magic cabinet in the kitchen, not that Luci would let me slip away. He told me if I ever left our room again without telling him he would smash my cupcake.I giggled out loud. He would never do that. He is my Luci and he wouldn’t dare try. I bit my lip, looking around the room. Well, maybe he would. He did some naughty things in the hallway.Sitting up, wiping the sleep from my eyes, I find myself in my old bedroom. The white and baby pinks made the r
After a wonderful, steaming shower, I leaned my body against the counter, using my hand to wipe away the steam covered mirror. All considering, the past few days I have done well. I winked at myself in the mirror, now hearing Cerberus scratching at the door. I bet Luci sent him in here to check on me.“Hi puppy!” I cracked the door to let him in. “Whatcha doing in here, huh? Did you come to visit me?” Cerberus wagged his tail while his three heads looked up at me adorningly. I patted each head but took extra time for the third head by scratching under his chin. “Such a good boy you are!” He groaned, finally sitting himself on the floor and rolling on his back. I giggled, rubbing his tummy, and his leg shook. I must have hit the right spot because his groaning became louder. “Yes! Such a good boy!” I snorted, laughing to myself, finally standing up.Still keeping the towel tight around my body, I looked at myself back in t
UrielMariah stood up to wash her hands in the sink. I stood, holding my arms around my stomach. My tummy continued to have those funny ‘cramps,’ as Mariah called them. “You need to stay close to Lucifer, Okay?” Mariah’s smile didn’t stretch like it had been. “Being close to your mate makes the pain go away. You can even have his hand lay on your stomach. That makes it much better.” Mariah turned back to the sink, pretending to concentrate on her hands, but I knew better.Call it my gut instinct. Something was bothering her, and I had to know why. It was the same funny feeling I felt when my mom got really sad before I touched her. “What’s wrong?” My head leaned over the sink to look at her in the eyes. Eyes were the windows of the soul, they say, it’s hard for someone to look at you in the eye and not lie. They could dilate, they could twitch and look away. These
“He’s over here,” Mariah whispered softly, pulling me to the enormous bed. It was the size of three king-sized beds. Animal furs donned the mattress, large pillows and torch for lighting lit the room. The light was just enough to see the outline of a sleeping Ares. His breaths were low, steady but the hint of twitching in his sleep. I knew it was disturbed. His head twisted to the other side of the pillow, now unable to read his expression.Mariah hovered over me, watching as my hand went over Ares’ that laid on his chest. The brightness glowed brighter than anyone else that I had touched. The scorching of my hand had me wince, but I dared not lift my hand.Worry, pain, suffering, regret, it all swirled together inside my mind as I forced myself to push further into him. My eyes closed, really concentrating for the first time. Asking questions to the power within, I could see the darkness that loomed inside. Inadequate, worthiness, fear swirled
LuciferNot a damn moment of peace. Hera had another thing coming. She was playing with her daughter’s emotional strings, pulling her up and down a damn roller coaster, and I was damn near sick of it.“You can’t be with him,” she says.“He isn’t good for you. I’m trying to save you.” She blubbers.“Oh, I thought about it. Now I will let him be your mate and bless you on top of it.”Lies.Could Uriel not see the strings of lies? Could she not feel them in her dream? It was possible; she was still growing, not understanding the powers being released. Uriel still had the poison inside her own mother had injected her with. Standing outside the bedroom door, I waited until I heard the water from our shower turn on. She would be awake, she would be safe.I gripped my fist, the ash already crumbling to
