The Arcana Lucio Novels & Stories

Aria sat across from Maria with the vial now placed between them on the table like a loaded gun. “You disappeared for months,” Aria said. “No contact. No orders. You missed the Crimson Circle induction. You missed Zara’s funeral.” Maria’s voice cracked. “I didn’t miss her funeral. I delivered her killer to a jungle pit and lit the fire myself.” Silence. Then she slid a second object across the table — a thumb drive. “Encrypted proof,” she said. “Greco is feeding Luciana. But it goes deeper. He’s not working alone. There’s a handler. Vatican-born. Probably Umbra-adjacent. You’ll want the name.”

“Shall we?” Lucia smirked at the old-fashioned gesture and curled her fingers around Solomon’s muscle. “Following you, Master Solomon.” “Careful. You certainly don’t want to give me ideas.” A startled laugh escaped Lucia. “You have a convoluted and devious mind, don’t you?” “I’m a Lycan. What can I say?”

Everything is information. She will be brought in without harm, Enzo said, voice cautious She will be brought in, Lucian repeated, letting the weight of the words settle. Every debt has a cost. Every action has consequence. Vince entered silently, tablet in hand. Boss, tracing who left the photo has revealed a shadowed intermediary. Someone wanted her found, someone who knew she was the last connection to her father’s debt. They underestimated us. Lucian stood and moved to the window, watching the city stretch endlessly below. Manhattan was his kingdom. He ruled through fear, strategy, and precise violence. Yet Aria Russo was now a factor in his calculations, a wildcard that demanded attenti

Aurora walked closer, ignoring the way his fists clenched. I miss you, I miss getting your attention, Aurora whisper… He laughed bitterly. “You’re insane.” “Maybe.” She stopped right in front of him, close enough to see the faint tremor in his hands. “But you’re not getting rid of me that easily.” Vincenzo stepped back, putting distance between them. He went back to the chair and table. He grabbed another file; this particular one thicker, older, and stamped **“LUCIFER – LEGACY PROJECT, He flipped it open, pretending to read.

I looked over at the table of men that all were wide eyed, they all moved at the same time coming into the living room as if there was a threat that needed to be taken care of, Bryce spoke, “and how exactly do you plan on helping Alpha Nico from here?” She shook her head at him, “Daddy, don’t worry, I got this covered,” she smiled, “you know that Alpha Nico is a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess Salene and me being a the Blood Moon Luna, well I have a bit more power than even I thought and so will my pups, especially if they are mine and Alpha Nico’s which will be the case.” I stared at the men as they all looked at one another and then turned to Amelia, “does this book give you specific

Lucr hungrily devoured her food which was like a mountain and even dished more. "WOW she eats like two grown wolves.'Rex said making me laugh as Everyone turned to look in my direction."What's so funny Cas?dad asked releasing his aura making me bare my neck in submission. "stopp_d_a_d."I manage to mind link him but it seems Alec was angry at me for God knows what."what's wrong mom? you seem pressured."our heads snap towards Luci who was shoving crayfish into her mouth. Dad reliazed that his aura was affecting Jane in the process of making me submit but it was not affecting Lucy which kept us wondering why?

I ask. I’m afraid this is some kind of trick or another lesson or punishment. “I don’t say things I don’t mean. I’m a Lycan of my word. I swear it by the moon.” He looked up towards the sky, though the moon is mostly hidden by the trees, and places a closed fist to his chest. I’ve been around him long enough to know he thinks of the moon as some sort of God, and it holds some sort of power over him. He is crazy for sure, but he holds the moon in high regard, and I believe he will honor anything he swears upon it. At least I hope, but he can’t really be trusted.

He was the perfect puppet - he had the looks of a good candidate, and if he could woo people the way he conned women into his bed, it’d be easy enough to ensure whoever the puppet master was called all the shots. “I’m sure it’s someone from the family line,” I insisted. Cato leaned in closer, giving me a toothy grin. “Then why the hell have I been seein’ so many lycans in the past couple days?” He was whisked away, back into the thrum of customers, before I could answer. Another pink drink slid down the bar, stopping in front of me. It was a trick Cato was proud of, and one I didn’t mind until I had to close up my tab - one that had been steadily growing over the past years.

Lana Lucifer doesn’t say a word as we make our way back to my cabin, which gives me the chance to really take a good look at him. It has been weeks since I saw him, and my eyes are soaking in every inch of his masculine frame. His silky, dark hair is curled back in a trendy style, with the front being longer than the back, his dark eyes are shadowed by his long lashes, and his pouty lips are as luscious as I remember. If I had to categorize Lucifer, I’d say he’s a pretty boy with his Roman nose, high cheekbones and youthful features. Though his face may look young, his body is all man. At a couple of inches over six feet, he’s quite the specimen with his swimmer’s build and powerful aura. Hi

I was with women angels when he grabbed me and imprisoned my stomach from his arm while my back was on his chest and he was threatening other angels. "Lucifer, w-what are you doing?" --
