All Chapters of THE DEVIL'S LOVE : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucifer was standing close to her with a radiant smile on his face. Aria recognized him as the man Lucas had yelled at, and warned to return to hell. She looked around her, wondering how he had managed to appear right next to her. She couldn't tell if she was save with him or not, but she hoped there would be no more drama, because she didn't think she'd be able to survive anymore supernatural battle. Lucifer sat beside her. She fixed her gaze on him, her hands visibly trembling in fear."I don't bite, young lady. You don't have to be so scared.""What do you want from me, then?""You loved Lucas," Lucifer began. His voice was like velvet, and venom. "but you never truly knew him."Aria froze. If this was about Lucas, she had to be careful so she wouldn't stir up more trouble."Who...I mean...What are you?" Aria stammered a question."I am the one who gave him that soul you cling unto." He smiled thinly. "And I am the one who also watched him burn that same soul for you.""I don't un

Lucas stared at her with unseeing eyes. Centuries had passed since he last saw her. In the time when Lucas was feared, and only a whispered name among creatures all over the realm, Selene had backed him. Helping him triumph in every battle he fought. She was his backbone. His then soulmate. But after the death of Behemoth's mate, and the rumored death of Lucifer's lover, Selene disappeared, never to be seen again. Until now.She moved closer to him, her eyes warming his body, and the dark flame that danced in his veins. She stretched her arm and tried to touch him, but he flinched, and backed away."Lucas, haven't you done enough?" Lucas looked away from her.Selene had always seen through him.She had always been the one that saw him as he was, and still chose to be on his side.She was never afraid of the darkness in him. Even now, with the darker evil looming inside him, Selene wasn't moved at all."You loved me once, and never for once did I ask you to change what you are. Why ar

After the portal closed behind her with Selene and Lucas still inside the dead realm, Aria's heart pounded in fear of the things that had happened. She stared at her arm; the marks from Selene's spell still faintly visible on her arms. Her hands trembled uncontrollably. Lucas had almost died. Not in battle, and not even at the hands of the dreadful Behemoth. It was all because of her. Lucas could've died because of her ignorance, and blind trust for the devil. She should've known better than to believe the devil's whispers. Aria felt stupid for convincing herself that maybe the devil still had a thread of fatherhood in him. She felt stupid for having thought that he would, perhaps, be honest for the sake of his son just once. Now in her desperation to save her lover, she had ended up endangering him more. And now, she had to stay away from him so he could recover. She had to leave him in the arms of his ex-lover, because she was the only one with the powers to save his life. Every

Lucas lay back on the cold stone bench in his chambers, muscles aching, but healing. The black flame that had once threatened to consume him flickered faintly. It was subdued, but still present. Alone in his chambers, as Selene had instructed that he be left alone, so dark energy from his demons wouldn't corrupt the ritual, and disrupt his healing. His mind was restless, spinning with the aftermath of Aria's reckless descent. After the incident, Lucas knew for sure that Aria had finally loved him for who he was, and he no longer had to hide his true self. Yet, he couldn't let go of the thoughts that he had almost lost her inside the dark realm, if not for Selene's prompt intervention. A sudden chill filled the room, and the shadows shifted. Lucas didn't need to turn to see who it was, as it was only the devil who would dare walk into his chambers as he pleased. "What a sour sight to behold." Lucifer taunted, stepping closer. "The prince of hell is weakened. I wonder how other c

The room was dimly lit, bathed only in the faint gold of twilight that filtered through the half-closed blinds. With her phone in her hand, Aria stood by the window, her gaze distant. Her mind had barely known peace since after the descent, and now, the silence between her and Lucas haunted her. She barely slept at night without the dreams of that day haunting her. His screams as he was engulfed in pain. It was a terrible moment for her.Levi had visited the other day, and he assured her that Lucas has healing well, and would be able to see her soon, but Aria still had her doubts.How long would it take for him to fully heal?She missed him like her life was meaningless without him in it. She missed the man who'd readily risk his life to save hers. The man who kept coming for her, even when she pulled away from him.She missed Lucas.She heaved a sigh, and stared at his photo on her phone screen. She longed to be back with him, and she hoped that just as Levi had promised, he'd be fin
