Panic Room Phased
Chapter 43 - PhasedLilithThey say a single moment sparks in one's eyes when they realize that the world they have carefully constructed around them is about to shatter. Their eyes widen, and all hope and pride leave them, only to be replaced with fear and panic. I could say without a doubt that I had never seen that look cross Gavin's face before, not even when I almost destroyed his life and ripped his heart right out of his chest. To say the feeling I got when that look etched its way onto his face was exhilarating would be a severe understatement. I momentarily understood why Lucifer was always so manic when it came to closing his deals. Not that I would ever compare myself to the egotistical maniac, but for a second, I was sure I was feeling what he felt the rush of adrenaline, the spike in heart rate. The feeling of momentary invincibility was a thrill. Gavin didn't have a chance as my powers latched on to him, paralyzing him in place. The best part was when I dragged him ac
Panic Room Broken
Chapter 44 - Broken GavinEverything fucking hurt; I had to give it to Lilith. She could give Winston a run for his money. I wasn't sure how many fucking days had passed, but I had been awake for most of them, only catching a few hours of sleep in between Samuel and Emmett healing me. I knew Emmett and Lilith were working together on something big, and I should have known what it was the second I caught them together at Gideon's, but I was too caught up in my head to see what was right in of me. Seeing Samuel involved wasn't a complete surprise; he had stood up for Lilith the minute he saw her at the club all those months back, but the fact that he had been protecting her all this fucking time was a shock to the system. All along, we thought he was slacking, disappearing randomly because he didn't take his rule seriously when in reality, he was helping keep Lilith's life a secret. And he would have been able to keep it a secret still if it wasn't for Lucifer's little bump-in with
Panic Room High Prices
Chapter 45 - High Prices LuciferEverything was quiet, too quiet; even the shadows weren't filled with the same amount of whispers they usually were, and the human world, well, that place, was a bore since Lilith entered my life again. I rubbed my hand against my chest, rubbing at the ache that only seemed to appear whenever I thought of her. The hole in my chest had long since been healed, but the pain and feeling of her hand pushing through my ribs and her fingers wrapped around my heart right before she ripped it out weren't easily forgotten. It took everything in me not to go back to Gavin's house and check in our the little hellion and my brother. I was sure he was giving her a good time out of all my brothers. He and I were the hardest to manipulate. Having someone destroy you once was enough to ensure you never trusted another soul again. But I held myself back, resisting the pull Lilith seemed to still have over me even after all this time. I knew I still had time to fight
Panic Room The Devil
Chapter 46 - The DevilLilith Two weeks had already passed since I had brokered a deal with Gavin, and to my surprise, he still hadn't tried anything. But I wasn't stupid enough to believe our bargain would be enough to stop him from finding out a loophole. It was only a matter of time before he tried something, and I would be ready when he did. In the meantime, I had other things I needed to deal with. The biggest one of those things happened to be finding a certain missing Prince. "You're sure this is the last place you saw him?" I asked the giant snake that had wrapped herself around me like an ostentatious scarf. Samuel wasn't too far behind me as we explored the wastelands. His powers worked to keep my presence undetectable as we walked into the human world. It wouldn't last long, though, maybe a few hours max before Samuel exhausted his reserves and Lucifer was alerted of my presence in the human world. It took much energy to cloak another being, and with my magic working on
Panic Room Unhinged
Chapter 47 - UnhingedWinston I can count on one hand the amount of time I've ever dreamed of something. Both of those times involved the venomous beauty that was now standing before me, and fuck was she beautiful with her alabaster skin, emerald eyes, silken onyx hair, and lips so red they looked as if they were soaked in the blood of her enemies. I hated her about as much as I was obsessed with her. Emotions were a tricky thing, constantly fucking with your head, making you feel things you shouldn't. It was why I was always angry. It was easier to be angry than feel any sort of emotion that came with thinking about Lilith. She truly was as poisonous as the nickname I gave her all those years ago. A name that belonged to the flower she used to kill me. I was always fifty shades of fucked up, but Lilith broke something in me the day she ripped my heart out, and I have never been the same since. I was unhinged, unpredictable, and insatiable when it came to spilling the blood of my v
Panic Room Hesitation
Chapter 48 - Hesitation LilithThe only good that came from a man with an obsessive need to own everything was the result that he also would need a place to hold anyone who attempted to take one of those precious things from him. Of course, leave it to Gavin to have a dungeon beneath his overly eccentric home. The place was as cold and dark as his heart, but somehow it was still nicer than some of the places I had been held in my lifetime. I stared at the passed-out male before me. His chest slowly rose and fell with each breath he took. It had already been three days since we found Winston in the wastelands murdering innocents for the fun of it. The man I once knew never would have done that, never would have killed just for the thrill of it. He would have found the guilty and made them pay for their sins instead. But I guess I wasn't the only one who was broken because of our past, and I hated how much my heart ached at the thought of that. Winston had tortured and tried to kil
Panic Room Lion's Den
Chapter 49 - Lion's Den LilithI stared at the reflection looking back at me. My onyx hair was neatly pulled into a ponytail, and my face was decorated with enough eyeliner and cherry red lipstick to make any man fall to his knees. But the real show-stopper was the black dress that fit my body like a glove leaving little to the imagination. A golden snake travelled up my spine, delicate chains holding it into place, exposing my back. I was dressed to kill, well, more like taunting the beast I was about to be caged with. My time with Gavin was up, and since Lucifer couldn't find Winston, since he was locked up and now in my care, and he would rather pull out all of his teeth and then send me to stay with the only man wise enough to stay in my good book. It meant I was now left to enter the lion's den. I had two missions to complete before I could finally drop the facade I had managed to keep in Lucifer's presence. First, find his gemstone and put it with the others. And second, figu
Panic Room Powerless
Chapter 50 - Powerless LuciferLilith was intoxicating; everything about her, like the smell of a crisp autumn night and fresh apples and how it clung to her and tempted me to want nothing more than to stay as close to her as possible so I could breathe her in. To the feel of her skin, so soft and warm, I never wanted to let her go. She called to me in a way I didn't understand, and the loss of control she seemed to instill in me drove me nuts. But it was her attitude and bite that really set me off. It had my heart beating faster in my chest and excitement coursing through my veins. She was a fucking drug, addictive and dangerous, and that was why I had tried to end her all those years ago. She was a weakness I knew others would use against me once they found out, and I couldn't have that, not then, not now.As much as it killed me to betray her, as much as I could feel for her, I had to save my kingdom and protect my brothers, and I knew. I knew.I would have to do it again, but
