Semua Bab Panic Room: Bab 51 - Bab 60

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

Chapter 52 - Realization EmmettIt was like the first time I met Lilith all over again, except this time, I wasn't staring into those perfect emerald eyes while choking on my own blood, watching her smile down at me in victory while my heart still beat in her hand. No, it was much worse now. I was blindsided in a completely different way, one I hadn't seen coming but should have, and now I was working for her instead of against her causing my entire plan of fucking her over to backfire and blow up in my face. I had to hand it to Lilith. She was as cunning and manipulative as the rest of us, maybe even more so, and as much as I hated being made a fool again, I couldn't help but admire how fucking good she looked, screwing all of us over. She radiated ruler of hell energy, and funny enough, as more time passed, I found myself wanting to fall to my knees for her instead of her falling at mine.This Lilith was different than the last one. She had always called to me, to all of us befo

Chapter 54 - Submission Lucifer I felt like I was being put on trial again, just waiting for the judgment to pass before my wings were ripped from my back, and I was plunged into the depths of hell along with my brothers to pay for all my sins. But this time, Lilith was that test instead of my acts against my father, and as much as I wanted to ignore the temptress and everything she stood for, my hold on willpower had slowly slipped away without me realizing it. The tighter I held onto it, the more fragile it became. My hatred for her vanished as it was gradually replaced with lust, desire, and something else I wasn't ready to come to terms with. I was starting to detest my powers the longer I was forced to live with the succubus that was Lilith. I only had myself to blame because, from the moment I saw her, I knew I should have killed her but couldn't bring myself to do it. Something inside me stopped me before I could ever go through with it.Our past still haunts me; no matter h

Chapter 56 - Freedom Winston Something was off. Nothing about me felt right, almost like I had been drugged. My brain felt like it was caught in a haze, my mouth was as dry as cotton, and my body felt leaden. It was like I was stuck in stasis right before I woke up. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Using my voice felt as impossible as moving my limbs. "You won't have long before he fully regains his consciousness. Ask him your questions, and I'll knock him out again." A muffled make voice explained; I knew that voice, but with this brain fog, I couldn't place it. A frustrated sigh sounded beside me, much closer than the other person. The sweet smell of crisp apples and fall air filled my nose, a sense of longing filling my chest. I knew this woman beside me; clearly, she knew me, but how?What happened? Where was I, and why the fuck couldn't I get up? "Do you think he will still be violent after being like this for two months?" The woman asked, her voice barely a whispe

Chapter 58 - Long Live the Queen Lilith "Are you ready for this?" Emmett asked, giving me a weak smile. I could see the concern swirling in his baby blues. It was strange seeing him care for me after everything that happened. Seeing six of the men I had loved once before finally standing at my side felt like a dream. Perseus gently kissed my cheek, ever the gentleman, narrowing his eyes at his brother."Of course she is ready, you moron. Who asks that kind of question right before someone ascends?" He chastised. Emmett shrugged his shoulders in response. "It was just a question, no need to bite my head off." "Well, it was a fucking stupid one." A smile lifted my lips as I fought back a laugh. "Perseus, it's alright. As much as it turns me on to watch you defend my honour, it was just a question." I teased, turning my attention to Emmett. "And to answer your question, my prince, yes, I am ready." "It's been a long time coming. But we must hurry if we want to complete this witho
