Rune held my hand and we reappeared in his living room at his house. I looked up at him curiously."Aren't you telling me?" I questioned. He sighed and told me that Noah and he decided on it during their talk in the kitchen. Furrowing my brow I asked and? Rune chuckled deeply. "I left the choice to Noah and he wishes to be reborn as our son but requested to be named Noah once again," he said solemnly. "Then he will forget his past and me," I said sadly. Rune frowned and rolled his eyes."He's technically a soul Raven. He has very few options and feels that you and I will be lovely parents and raise him to be a better man than he was before. Those are his words," he said in frustration. I fell onto the couch cushions and sighed."His children would become his step brothers…that is just fucked up," I growled. "Well honestly I feel that your both selfish cunts, I know that you and I are mates but this Noah soul shit is fucking bullshit," Rune said sternly and turned from me and stompe

"Are Lorenzo and his wife a nice couple?" I asked Rune. He grinned slightly and told me they were a quirky pair and I would get along with the South queen well. The knock upon the door drew my eyes to it as Herb went to open it. I blinked a few times when I saw the bright red hair of a large robust gentleman. Rune chuckled deeply and stood to approach the jovial man. I got up and stood beside him while he introduced me to the king of the South. I noticed his dainty shy wife standing behind the much larger man and smiling politely towards her. She visibly relaxed and offered her hand in greeting."I'm Cleo," she said and I told her my name. Lorenzo spoke in rapid Italian about how he was surprised Rune had found his queen and stunning beauty at that. My cheeks turned pink at his other comments. Some were not very appropriate but were done in kindness. I replied in the same language. Being taught by my mother. Lorenzo's eyes widened and he laughed happily at me knowing what he'd spoken.

My dad exited the kitchen with an odd look on his face and announced that we could get coffee now. His yellow eyes looked up at me in concern. My brow furrowed and I headed toward him. "What's wrong dad?" I asked curiously and he grins and rubbed his hand down my arm. "Just know that all will turn out for the best, okay kiddo," he grins and I nod, wondering if Rune told him what I had decided on about Noah. I didn't press it and asked if he'd poured himself a cup. He nodded, lifting a steaming cup I hadn't noticed. Smiling, I entered the kitchen and saw Rune and a crying Ezra hugging him tightly. The pair were outside on the porch. Rune turned and saw me in the window and smiled at me. I grinned slightly and he winked. I laughed and began pouring cups of coffee for our guests. I kept my eyes on Ezra's odd behavior. He wiped his eyes and was smiling brightly once again. I shook my head and sipped my coffee alone at the kitchen table after passing out the cup to the others. When they

We entered the house and my mom asked Abby to go home and bring back some makeup and her dangling diamond earrings. Abby nodded and disappeared from the room. She was only gone a few minutes and reappeared with her arms full."You're still a bit bruised, honey and you should look perfect for this special occasion," my mother, Emma said softly lifting my chin as she scanned my face. I smiled at her."Are you going to use the lace dress?" She asked curiously and I nodded. She told me to go up and get it on and she would help me look like a lovely queen when I finished. I went to my old bedroom and pulled out the lovely lace summer dress from the closet. The dress was stunning and after putting it on over my matching bra and panty set I felt lovely. I was certain I'd knock Noah’s sock off. I finished looking at my reflection and headed back downstairs. When the others looked up at me a collective ahh filled the air. I smiled as I descended the stairs."This will work?" I asked and the th

I noticed that my son Faust was sitting alone sipping on a glass of wine all by himself. He felt my eyes on him and glanced over at me. He gestured if he could join me and I nodded. He walked up and lifted one of the unoccupied chairs carrying it over next to me."No luck finding a female,'' I asked him pointedly and he shrugged."Aren't you worried about waking up dad?" He asked, changing the subject. I grinned slightly and shook my head."The man can sleep through a volcano erupting," I said softly and Faust laughed."Do you think Faelon is the way he is because I wasn't, well Noah and I weren't there to raise him?" I asked curiously. What Noah had said bothered me. Faust looked at me and sighed."Hearing of dad's death shook him more so. I think that was a pivotal piece that broke him. His demon side has fallen and that's unheard of even in hell. Lucifer is learning much from his existence," he said sadly."So he's a bad egg all around eh?" I mumbled sourly and Faust laughed."He ju
