Lucifer
We awaken from our slumber at dawn and head towards the mountains. We make it as far as the Mountain Pack where we rest for the night and have a good meal.
“It’s an honor to have the King stay with us.” The alpha of the mountain pack says.
“We are on a mission. We are in search of Lucifer, the demon king. His quarters aren’t very far about four more days of travel.” Kyle says.
“And who’s your angel friend here?” The alpha asks, pointing to me.
“I am Destinies Child, or so I have been told. Both my parents were werewolves. Demons killed them by order of Lucifer. So, I am in search of revenge. If I could kill him I would, but angels can’t be killed, just hurt. My name is Allissa. Can I have yours?” I ask.
“Alpha Alex.” He answers. “You are beautiful, Allissa. How’d you two meet?”
“We were on a bus, where I saw her and knew exactly who it was. So, I introduced myself and as destiny would have it, we were both on a similar mission, so we teamed up.” Kyle explains.
“Well, it’s an honor to have you both with us. Can you really grant wishes? My Luna has been sick lately and not even the doctors know what’s going on, except she’s pregnant. She is bleeding nonstop.” He is genuinely concerned.
“I would like to meet her, what is her name?” I ask.
“Her name is Ellenore.” He says quietly. “I will take you to her at once if that’s okay.”
“Yes. Let’s go, Kyle I will be back.” We leave the room to the infirmary, where his Ellenore lays bleeding. I walk over to her.
“Sorry miss, but we can’t have any visitors.” One of the nurses say.
“I’m here to help. I’m an angel, you should have been able to tell that by my smell.” I say.
“We’ve tried everything and can’t seem to stop the bleeding. It will take a miracle for her to survive.”
“Let me touch her.” I demand and they move aside. I walk over to her and focus my energies on my touch. Soon the bleeding stops, and she opens her eyes.
“I feel like I haven’t eaten in months.” Her angelic voice rings.
“Get her some bread. Warm bread with butter.” I demand.
“Yes, Ma’am.” The nurse says and takes off running.
“Ellenore, my love and Luna, it’s so good to hear your voice.” Alex is at her bedside with a few strides.
“My love and mate.” She says smiling at him.
“Here you go my Luna. Fresh bread, made but an hour ago.” The nurse says handing it to Ellenore.
“Don’t eat too much or too fast. You aren’t 100%. I healed you sure, but there is still recovery time.” I state.
“Who might you be, my dear?” she turns to me as if just realizing I’m there.
“My name is Alli, ma’am. I’m an angel who happened to have come to this pack for a night's rest and food. Alpha Alex told me of your situation, I’d like to congratulate you on your twins. You did lose one, but there are still 2 left. You should be able to carry to term now.” I say.
“Oh, my. Thank you dear, I didn’t know I was carrying more than one.” She says.
“One boy and one girl. Good luck and take it easy for a few days. You don’t want to end up in bed again, because I may not be here to save you next time.” I explain.
“Twins, a boy and a girl. Wow, I can’t believe it.” Alex says kissing his Luna.
I smile at the couple, longing to have the love they have for one another, but I know it would only happen with my mate. Not even Kyle could bring that kind of love. We can love each other sure, but it will never be TRUE love.
“Well, I will leave you two. Your wish has been granted.” I say before leaving the room to find Kyle waiting outside the infirmary.
“So, twins huh. That will be fun for them.” I sense the same longing in him that I feel within myself.
“You at least know who your mate is. I recon she should be about 21 by the time our journey ends. Maybe she’s waiting for you. I’d understand if you left. You’ve already been away from your home for far too long.”
“I’m homesick, sure, but we still have work to do. I will never live as long as you, but until our journey ends, we can remain together. Or until you find your mate.”
“But I don’t want to keep you from happiness.”
He chuckles, “She’s still only 20, so you aren’t keeping me from anything.”
“If you say so, but we both know this is a temporary thing. You have a mate, and I’m still on the search for mine.”
“You will find yours. I’m positive. Just because we aren’t mates doesn’t mean we can't love one another either. I know its temporary love, but we don’t have to change it right now. We will if you find your mate before mine is of age. Agreed?”
“Okay, agreed.”
After a good night’s rest, we head out early in the morning saying our goodbyes. Their faces are filled with happiness as I have saved them and their cubs. We continue our hike through the mountains and make our camp every night, so we don’t exhaust ourselves. Soon we approach a castle in the mountains, and we know that it is Lucifer’s lair. We advise a plan but am interrupted by Lucifer himself.
“I knew you were here, my sweet.” Lucifer’s voice is like honey.
I turn around and come face to face with him. He’s 7 foot tall and has raven black hair and wings. He’s thin but muscular. Our eyes lock with one another and I’m filled with love and rage all at the same time.
“Oh, hell no. You can’t be my mate. You are the one who destroyed my entire family.” I say almost shouting.
“Tsk, tsk. I knew from the day you were born that you were mine. I’m a special kind of angel. We can find our partners when we are a mere 6 years of age. Already I knew we’d be together, but I had to kill your family because you were too pure for my liking. Now a Fallen angel, you are perfect. Your blood-stained wings will never be white again.” He smirks.
“This is so not fair. I don’t want to be your mate. How can I ever love anyone who could take the lives of their mate’s family?” I spit like venom.
“You’re kidding right? He’s your mate! This changes everything. I can’t hurt the one I loves, mate. It's not okay.” Kyle says.
“Oh, but I can.” I lunge at Lucifer and his speed is just as quick as my own.
Our arms lock with one another’s and sparks ignite throughout my body. I ignore them, drawing my dagger. I swing it across his abdomen, but it merely just scrapes the surface, healing almost instantly. This enflames my emotions even more with rage. I strike again this time cutting deeper. It takes longer to heal but his groan of pain pleases me.
“Damnit woman!” Lucifer screams.
“I told you I want revenge for what you did to my family.” I thrust the dagger into his side, twisting it so the jagged edge cuts deeper, and then pull it out.
“You can't kill me, just as I can't kill you, but do you have to be such a royal bitch?” Lucifer groans.
“Yes, yes, I do. You killed my family and my pack. It's going to be a long time before I ever forgive you, I don’t care if you are my mate. You won’t have me.”
At this he knocks the dagger from my hands and grabs me, holding my hands at my side and kisses me, causing electric pulses to slink through my body. I can’t do anything about it with my hands, so I bring up my knee and hit him. He drops to the ground holding his groin.
“You son of a bitch.” He hisses.
“No, I’m just a bitch. I was born of wolves.” I say smugly.
Our battle rages on for a while, until he turns to Kyle, my dagger in hand and rushes towards him. I rush to the side of Kyle, but get there just short of Lucifer, and the dagger pierces into his side. I draw my sword and lunge towards my mate piercing his heart, but again he heals quickly, but I’ve proven my point.
“I won’t let you kill the man I love.” I say seething with rage.
“What! I’m the one you are supposed to love, not a damn dog!” Lucifer is enraged.
“Serves you right for what you did.” I quickly press my hands against the wound that’s already healing and help it along. Lucifer is just standing there shocked and hurt by my love for another.
Kyle grabs my hands, bringing them to his lips and kisses them, “You have found your mate. We can't continue like this. You may be furious with him, believe me I would be too, but he will be the one you love for eternity. He’s another Fallen Angel. You two will be together forever. I will die eventually, and my mate will be old enough in a year. I can't keep you from him.”
“But I love you, Kyle. How can I just let you go after all we’ve been through?” I ask, tears staining my cheeks.
“We both knew this day would come. I was hoping it wouldn’t be this soon, but he is your mate. You will love him more than anything in the world, unless you have a baby angel…”
“But he killed my family. How is it you are so confident I will love him?”
Kyle pats my hands, and we stand up. He smiles a farewell before shifting and running through the mountains. As I am about to run after him, Lucifer grabs my hand and pulls me close to him.
