Crack was all you heard as tree broke in half falling in our direction. A Giggle and a flash. I called for my armor, Adrian transformed into his wolf. We easily dodged the tree, calling for my bow. Whatever it was stalking up didn't stay in one place for longer than a second. Adrian spoke to me still in wolf form, “There's more than one of them.” He inhaled deeply “ Narcisa and Amaris both are vampires, their younger than I am and they're known for hunting and tracking. Their Lucifers favorite assassins watch out for the alphas they carry.” I closed my eyes and drew two silver-lined feathers listened for their next move when I heard them, I released the feathers.I hit my target one arrow went straight through her throat, cutting off all screams, the second arrow through her heart. The red-haired bitch dropped to the ground. I called forth another feather, Adrian was grabbed by his tail, another wolf was attacking Adrian. He growled and counter attacked the wolf with dark brown fur

Dirt clumped in her blonde hair her once baby blue eyes voided now opaque, razor-sharp teeth filled her mouth. Slender petite frame, wings the color of opals, now looked like they were stained with blood. Naamah struggled in my grip, “hmm you know Naamah I had such high hopes for you. You could have easily been a lieutenant in my fathers’ army.” She spat at me, she missed and where the spit landed melted through the trees limb. “Okay so be it.” I raised my free and snapped my fingers, her left-wing ripped off. In peripheral, I saw Azael trying to make his way towards, but Michael quicker and grabbed him by the wings and threw him to the ground. Naamah's screams filled the air, I was halfway through ripping her right-wing off when one of the wolves escaped and had its jaws clamped onto my waist, trying to bite me in half. I growled and held Naamah mentally in the air and focused on the wolf that kept me in its jaws. I pried its jaws open with some effort. That's when I felt it a tingle

That night of the confrontation with Lucifer’s people took a lot out of my new guardians. Which, in turn, took a lot out of the guys and me. Rameses and Nefertari fell asleep first. We learned that Celestria came from the East on an island surrounded by water. Her island was called Japan. Like Adrian, she dreamt of me and followed the pull and made her way to me. She told us along the way she, unfortunately, ran into what she called the dark ones. She was able to fight them off with her scream. Which was impressive, the fallen were formidable. Celestia was the next one to fall asleep, her head resting on my shoulder, her breathing soft. Still laying against Micheals' chest, he played with the loose strands of my hair. Adrian picked up a few strands and played with them feeling them between his fingers, holding it up against the fire and even smelled it. He was analyzing it, ”have you not ever seen hair before Adrian?” I whispered with amusement."Of course I have, yours is differ

You ruined everything.” Lucifer’s grip on me loosened, “but I also gained so much because of what you did.I can’t thank you enough for it, Luc. Because of you, Father and Mother gave me my guardians a new purpose an impossible task. I feel more because of you, they gave me Michael. I love him. I could never love you as I do him, I’m not sorry for that. Michael is really a part of me. I feel him in my soul; he's my other half. I know it. So thank you, I now know love.” Lucifer grabbed my arm violently and backhanded me, knocking me to the ground “NO! You are mine, I was made for you, no one will get between us again. Not God, not Michael no one” I got up from the ground “Lucifer, I loved you once but not anymore. The Lucifer I knew would never hurt me. You're a monster, how could I ever care let alone love anyone so focused on destroying everything? Once I'm back to my full powers, I plan to wipe you from existence. My parents won't be there to stop me again.” ”Hahahaha, like you coul

Turning to face him, I could see the anger and hurt in his eyes. ”I was thinking of Michael, pretending your touch was his, you make me sick you no longer mean anything to me, so just know whatever you do to me it's his face I see, his touch I feel.” Lucifer took three steps back, ”The games end tonight, you see me letting you do those things to me allowed me to return the favor. Now there are no secrets between us Luci.” I moved past him and started pushing his conscious out of mine. ”Little Goddess, this will be the last time I show you mercy…” ”Goodbye, Luci.” and with that, I pushed him completely out of my head. I put my guard back up to keep him or anyone who's not one of my beloved guardians.When I opened my eyes, taking a deep breath to steady my mind, I still reeling from my exchange with Luc. I felt guilty I did want Lucifer maybe if things were different and I could forgive him. I still had love for him. I knew deep in my heart, I always would despite what I told him. I co
