Panic Room Bliss
Chapter 31 - BlissLucifer It took a lot to push me over the edge, but after Gavin's report back about Lilith's attempt to brainwash Emmett and Gideon, I reached my tipping point. I knew keeping her here was a risk, but I didn't think she could dig her claws into my brothers so quickly, not before we had a chance to make her pay for all the shit she did to us back then. I felt like an idiot falling for her act, but Gavin's report and a building list of other suspicions I had about the woman made the truth abundantly clear she is and always was our Lilith. I just thought she might still be too weak from whatever spell she used to bind herself to her human form to be able to get one over on us, and that was my mistake, one I was now working to rectify.Winston and I stuck a deal, one that would kill him if he broke it. He got to get a little crazy out while Lilith was reminded of who was in charge, a reminder that I ruled hell and that her little games wouldn't work here, not anymore
Panic Room Price
Chapter 32 - PriceLilith A blood-curdling scream filled the room, the sound loud enough to burst an eardrum. It took me several seconds to realize it was coming from me. Pain rippled through my body, and my stomach twisted at the sudden flare of pain. My vision blurred, and tears instantly poured down my face as the room spun around me.Every thought was drowned out by the screams tearing from my throat and the blinding pain coming from the knife wounds in my hands. I felt faint, my eyes threatening to roll back into my head as black started to spot my vision. Winston's hand connected with my cheek forcing me to remain conscious. "Ah ah ahh, Nightshade. Can't have you pass out when the fun has just begun." Winston tsked, placing the knife on the counter and exchanging it for a pair of pliers. I forced myself to swallow the vomit that climbed up my throat. A glint of pure madness filled the hazel eyes before me, a wicked grin lighting his face as Winston gripped my hand. A muffle
Panic Room Whole
Chapter 33 - Whole Lilith "-It's not a good idea." I heard Perseus hiss at someone as I was slowly pulled from a heavy sleep. My body felt like bricks were weighing it down. My mind felt like a hammer was pounding on it. But there was also something else that seemed to weigh down my chest. Something warm seemed to pulse on its own a tad bit slower than a heartbeat. My brain was foggy, and my eyes were so heavy. I knew there was no way I would be able to open them. Not now. "It's his fault we're here now. We need to act before it's too late." Someone clipped back, their voice familiar, but I was already slipping back into unconsciousness to focus on it. "Touch her, and you will-" Another voice cut in, but I blacked out before they finished their sentence. The pain in my body numbed as I drifted into the dark abyss of nothing. It felt as though I was in the ocean, floating on my back as I let the waves guide my body, each one in rhythm with my heartbeat. I felt like someone
Panic Room Reborn
Chapter 34 - Reborn SamuelI had felt the shift the moment it happened, like a beacon calling me home. It was the signal that Lilith's last fail-safe had been breached, and I couldn't be more excited for whatever chaos was about to be released into the world.My brothers were right when they assumed Lilith, and I conspired together. But I did as best as possible to deny their claims, needing to stay right where I was in their eyes—a useless prince who would rather sleep or get high than do anything productive. Because I wasn't Lilith's pet, I was much more than that. I knew all of her secrets, her past. I had grown a soft spot for the woman created from malice and destruction. Her pain echoed my own as the ruler of a kingdom most often regarded as a world for addicts and the walking dead. All because most earned their place in my kingdom by overdosing or selling their souls for just another hit of the good stuff. I was invisible, forgotten, just like she once was. I fell for her the
Panic Room Spies
Chapter 35 - Plans Lilith It was like I had just been woken from a deep sleep; the empty feeling I had known my entire life was now filled with the magic, the very magic I had blocked from each reincarnation to protect myself for centuries. I had lived hundreds of lives, some miraculous, others as painfully sad and tortuous as this one, but that was all about to change forever: no more reincarnations, no more forgotten lives. I was here now and wasn't looking at leaving any time soon.I moved quickly through Perseus's home. Now that I knew where the objects were for each prince, it made this whole process so much easier. Of course, I still had to play the naive human girl to keep them off my tail, especially Emmett. But even still, with an ego as big as his, I knew I could stroke it well enough to keep him off my trail. The best part of this whole thing was the arrogant bastards all believed that I was never coming back—a foolish mistake, but one that worked handsomely in my favou
Panic Room Gamble
Chapter 36 - GambleGavin "I still haven't found him; I have searched all over the place for the bastard. He's gone to who fucking knows where. This is a waste of my time." Gideon growled in frustration. He seemed more agitated as of late, especially after that bitch was brought to Perseus's house. The punishment meant for not only her but also him for giving in to his cravings for him.I still think Lucifer had gone easy on her, restraining Winston with a no-kill order. But I wasn't the one in charge, not right now anyways. My time was coming, though, and I couldn't wait to taste the sweet victory of stealing the throne right from underneath my brother. She had three more weeks before she was left under my care, and I couldn't wait to pull the rug out from underneath her, destroying her plans and blackmailing her into crossing my brother. I had given it a lot of thought over the last week. I, of course, wanted to use them until I had more information and a better plan, but now that
Panic Room Shift
Chapter 37 - ShiftLilith "You look better," Perseus added, grabbing my empty plate and placing it in the sink. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I smelt the amazing food Gideon had made. It was hard not to miss the prince when he made food that tasted so delectable. I nodded, worrying my lower lip, knowing Perseus would be too absorbed by himself to really pick up on my sudden change as I continued my act."I feel better. Whatever you did to heal me after Winston's attack helped. Thank you for that and this deal. I know I can't ever trust you and am nowhere close to forgiving you for the club, but thanks for helping me because we both know you didn't have to." Something crossed his steel blue gaze, almost like guilt, but it couldn't be. Not Perseus. I had known him for decades and knew he wasn't one to be anything but pretentious. I used to envy his ability to gloat about how good he was at everything until I lived a thousand lives and found out how lonely it was to have a
Panic Room A new low
Chapter 38 - A new lowPerseusI am going to fucking kill Lucifer. I will gut him like a pig and string him up for all to see when this is done.The fucking wastelands, that's where the bastard decided to take me. Nothing screams desperate like drugged-out prostitutes and homeless people who wreak of death and their own shit. I wouldn't kill him fast, either. My brother didn't deserve that kind of justice the fuckhead was going to die slow and painfully for degrading me to this level of embarrassment. I have always taken pride in my appearance, pride in the deals I make, and in the souls I collect. Unlike Samuel or Gavin, I have never had to stoop to this level of desperation to meet a quota. For Lucifer to even take me here was an insult, but to expect me to play his stupid fucking games of soul collecting as some kind of punishment like a child was appalling. So no, I wouldn't do it; I refuse to be some obedient puppet to my arrogant asshat of a sibling. "Having fun yet, Percy?"
