II

DAVINA'S POV :

how the hell am i gonna escape from this huge palace ? it's an endless maze of turns and rooms ! there is no way out . the view out of windows are fake. there are no living soul here.

i sighed . i was roaming in this palace from last three hours but ho way out. just endless huge rooms.

" are you sure we aren't dead?? and this isn't afterlife? " Daeliah asked.

" i don't know." i said trying to focus on one thing. one thing that is odd here to be fitted. one thing that can take us out of here.

" it can't be afterlife. it surely doesn't look like hell and it's too empty for heaven " she replied.

my wolf have a great tendencies to imagine random, stupidest thing at serious time like this. we have to find a way out before that creature with stunning face catch us. obviously, i still believe alex is more stunning and handsome than him. i can't help as tears brimmed in my eyes with even his name.

how will be he doing? i have to get out of here , i have to go to him . i can't see him in pain . he is my mate. i can't stay here.

" if what Mr lucy said is true and if moon goddess gave him second chance with mate. what will we do.? " daeliah asked.

i could feel my heart sinking deeper with each and every words of her.

"it can't be, i am sure it can't be. Alexander loves me. there is no way that he will even think about anyone else. i trust him " i replied my wolf.

" are you sure. don't you know what a mate bond is like. weren't you meant to assassinate him. were you able to?. what if he wasn't able to- "

i shut my wolf. i trust him. there will be no way - . i stopped as i realized that i am dead in their eyes.

" look ahead, i think we found our way out " daeliah said. my wolf said breaking the wall i made between us. i don't know why but i have been weaker than before. my wolf had always been the strongest so it's isn't that big of deal but i could feel my power being diminished from before. though daeliah didn't mentioned it yet but i know she can feel it too .

i looked ahead to see a massive red gate in front of me . it was broken from one of it's end. the gate looked so vintage but it's red color contradicting the white walls.

this surely doesn't look like a way out .the gate is surrounded by a strong dark aura. but i couldn't help as i felt a strong attraction towards it. i didn't even realized that i was walking towards it until i was finally face to face with it.

i looked up to the carvings carved on the walls. they are indeed beautiful yet ruthless. they were the depiction of how the people in hell are suffered. i decided to see what's inside but before i could open it a huge hand grabbed my wrist stopping it halting my actions in between.

i looked upon to meet his huge figure. he eyes were hostile enough make me want to shrink to the floor and disappear .he was reeking of power, dominance and most of all darkness. it was the first time i have seen him like this

i tried pulling away my wrist from his hand but it only resulted in him tightening his grip .

" Enough of exploring Dora . " he said. his voice was cold , husky and a deep . his eyes glued on my face but his expression didn't give anything away. i couldn't brough myself to look away.

" you're hurting me " i said trying to loosen his grip with my other free hand. my voice sounded more like a whisper.

his grip loosened and i pulled my hand away from him without taking another second . i looked at it to see the red marks of her fingers marked over. i sighed as i realized it will turn into blue soon. his eyes followed my eyes as he continued looking at my wrist for a while .

i swear i saw guilt on his emotionless face for a second but he soon covered it with a blank and empty expression. i couldn't help but to think what is behind this gate that even he, who is always warm around me turned so cold towards me.

" Go back to your room " he said before turning his back. .

" i want to leave here. i want to go back . let me go. " i said with all i had shouting at him.

" little wolf, don't make me repeat myself " he said not turning back. his back was still on me.

" you have no right to trap me. i don't care who you are but mark my words Mr. whatsover that i will leave here no matter what i have to do. " i said looking straight into his eyes as i was already clear his name isn't lucy . he finally turned looking at me.

The face that was so indecipherable all the time was now expressing an emotion that i never expected. he was- he was hurt but why? i couldn't seem to answer this.

i let out a quiet sigh as his expression were changed back to its usual unreadable state . it still scares me to the core of how empty and dark his eyes are.

" Mr. Lucifer morning stone it is. and little one, do you think that i don't know that as soon as i let you leave. you will run to that wolf mate of yours? and i don't care what decision moon goddess makes after your intrusion . he might be as good as dead . you see, i am on vacation and i don't want chaos or interruption between my vacation " . he said as he walked a step closer to me. my eyes widened as i heard the first word. lucifer morning stone? the fallen angel? the dark lord? i stepped back as fear took me in .

i took a deep breath finally looking back at him.

" you don't have to worry about it. she tops my to-do list . so i will finish my bussiness with her before meeting alex " i said with all the courage i had. more like shouted at him .

he was completely stunned for a second as his jaw dropped listening to what i said but soon his lips twitched upwards as he stepped closer to me. his face centimeters away from me. i froze as he brought his face more closer to me. his smile widened as he moved towards my ear.

" it's good to dream but one should know the difference between reality and their fantasies " he whispered . i couldn't help but flinch as his warm breathe fell on my neck.

" do you think you could even stand a second in front of her with that weak frame of yours. we both know you are more weaker without those demonic power i took from you . it will take you minimum to minimum 100 years to achieve enough power to stay for atleast stand in front of her and still the results will be crystal clear. " Lucifer said .

"you can go through hell fire . if you survive then the 100 yrs will be halved to 50 . " an unknown voice spoke up again in my mind. my palms started sweating as i realized its the same voice . it must be lying again .i couldn't help as my head started buzzing hard. i created a barrier between the voices and me as i fought hard to stand my ground in front of him.

" i don't care and neither you have to about my life "

" you see. your death will not even have a little inconvenience on me. i don't care about you. i just don't want my power to go waste "

" what about hell fire? what if i go through that. won't that will half the time you said " i asked gambling on what that voice said.

the smirk on his face vanished as the atmosphere around us darkened. his eyes were more sharper than any dagger at the moment.

" no one, no one have ever survived it.what makes you think you can? " lucifer said gritting his teeth.

" i will take my chances "

" there are ni chances on this. you will die. do you understand that ? . you will die for the guy who won't even be feeling anything for you by the time you will be finished with everything his mate bond would have been already vanished. so ask yourself that is it worth it ? " he said shouting at me. rage was clear in his eyes. i could feel the heat emitting from his body.

"i am so done of hearing how he will get another mate , how he will choose another person over me and how he won't even look at me! so now you listern Mr Lucifer , yes that guy you are mentioning, he is worth it . he is worthy of my every breath, he is worthy of every scar , he is worthy of my happiness, my sadness, my tears. HE IS WORTHY OF ME . i trust him. you don't even know him so you are no one to judge him.i won't coward up and give up on him this time. i will see it to the end this time. no matter whatever the result is "

we both kept looking in each other's eyes for a while. he pressed his lips, wanting to say something but he didn't . rage and dissapointment was clear in his eyes but i had also decided that no matter i won't give up in between this time . i will see it to the end. i will stand by my choice. i will stand by Alex and ethan . they are the only family i have . where will i go without them ?

" Tommorow morning 7am . since you are so eager to die. i will grant your wish " lucifer said not sparing me another look, he walked past me. i took a deep breath looking at him until he finally vanished from my sight.
