Chapter 25 Chapter 25

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere safe."

"Safe? Why?"

I asked, my heart was pounding in my chest violently. I just couldn't understand where was he taking me. Something was happening that I wasn't aware of?

"Please Michael, for the love of God tell me where are we going?" I asked for tenth time but he wasn't ready to talk. We were in a car, sleek black car, and three hours ago Lucifer suddenly told me to get my things and in an instant Michael was there and we were driving through these forests.

Three hours ago.

"She was pregnant with my child."

My heart squeezed.

"She killed her own child. It shows how much great mother she could be." Lucifer scoffed, his frustration and annoyance showing clearly. I should feel insecure but I inwardly knew my jealously wouldn't change anything. I had to act like a adult instead of a jealous girlfriend.

I purposely avoided his statement.

"So, Melissa knew she was pregnant but she chose her evil intentions over her own child. I don't know for whom I should feel sorry for." Lucifer caressed my stomach adoringly, his eyes sparkling with lights of his happiness.

"I know I don't deserve any of this, Sarah...but now that I have you..I am not letting you go anywhere, not in this life." He raised his eyes and his gaze met mine. His happiness was so intense that it scared me. His eyes glowed different when he was elated.

I smiled up at him as I raised my hand and caressed his stubbled jaw. He seemed stunned for a second, but slowly he leaned into my touch.

"I won't let anyone harm you." His words seemed determinant, filled with promise I badly needed. I nodded with a small smile when a guard came our way. By the looks he seemed quite distraughted.

"M-My Lord!" He said as Lucifer pried himself away from me and looked his way. I felt myself wondering how fast his eyes changed their glow.

"What?" Lucifer's voice was calm but guard knew better then to poke a sleeping lion.

"Outskirts! A body." Guard mumbled and Lucifer frowned and suddenly stood on his foot. He looked my way and I caught tensed muscles of his jaw twitching as he pulled me up towards him. I was going to rebel when I saw a lurking shadow behind him.

"You called for me, My Lord." Michael said coming forward as Lucifer nodded and gently pushed me towards him. I frowned in confusion.

"You know what you've to do." Lucifer said in his hard and deep voice. Command was there and I was getting paranoid second by second.

"Rest assured, My Lord." Michael nodded and before I could ask anything, Lucifer was already vanished from there along with the guard.

"We're here." Michael's voice brought me out of my daze and swiftly looked outside. The surroundings looked green, obviously we were in a forest. My eyes snapped towards the door when Michael opened it and helped me to get off.

"What're we doing here, Michael?" I asked cautiously. I was getting irrationally anxious with these changes. My heart beating drastically in the cage.

"Keeping you safe." He answered and I frowned as I followed him.

"Safe? From what? What's going on? Tell me." I said, as we entered the forest. He rolled his eyes and sided away the bushes, helping me.

"A war is at it's peak and Lucifer wants you away from Reynes at any cost." War? What war? What were they hiding from me?

I stopped and Michael sensed my rebellion and turned around. He let out a dramatic sigh before crossing his arms across his chest.

"Listen and listen well, don't poke your nose where it doesn't belong." What the fuck?!

"Either you tell me what's going on or I'm not going anywhere with you." Stubbornness flooded inside me and I crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at him. I needed to know what was happening. I deserved to know.

Michael's jaw twitched as he grinded his teeth, and I didn't missed the way his fists clenched at his sides.

"Don't provoke me, Sarah. I'm not in mood of your petty games. Come with me like a good little human." Balling his fists, he growled. Lucifer held the audacity to scare me, not him.

I took a threatening step in his direction as I held my head high.

"Make me."

~

"I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!" Draven screamed as his claws descended and his fangs elongated. His eyes changed their colour, and the threatening growl rippled through him.

Before he could take one step, he was slammed agaisnt the wall behind him. The impact send the frames dropped down.

"CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" Lucifer growled as he slammed Draven's face hardly on the wall.

"Leave me, Lucifer! I don't want to hurt you!" Walls of the room shook as Draven roared with raw rage. His veins all red and angry, need and urge to murder Nicholas was crawling inside him violently.

Lucifer dodged easily as Draven pushed him. Lucifer knew he couldn't afford to lose Draven to his anger. And with the good intention he punched him in the face and shook him by his shoulders.

"You can't hurt me!" Lucifer said, dodging as Draven cursed and landed a blow to Lucifer's perfectly chiseled face.

"Fuck!" Lucifer groaned.

"Don't stop me!" Draven struggled as Lucifer locked his arms with his one and slammed his head on the table.

"I SAID CALM DOWN!" Lucifer growled as Draven's struggles slowly died as his screams replaced with cries of agony.

"He killed him! He killed my little brother!" Draven cried as he stopped struggling and completely collapsed on the floor. Angry tears cascaded down his cheeks leaving him broken and heartbroken as Lucifer watched.

"HE KILLED HIM!" Draven screamed in agony as he cluctched his shirt above his heart and squeezed it hard. "It's hurting! IT HURTS!" His voice significantly rose as he threw his head back and cried.

Lucifer carefully crouched beside him and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Drav." Draven cried more as he heard Lucifer calling him by the name he used to call him by when they were kids.

"I-" Lucifer was cut off as Draven turned and hugged him tightly. Lucifer stayed shocked and awkwardly patted his shoulder.

"I lost him, Lucifer! I lost him!" Draven cried. His heart squeezed painfully and heart broken screams resonated through him.

Lucifer grinded his teeth as he patted Draven's shoulder. His mind thinking of painful ways he would use to torture Nicholas. They had started the war, and he would end it with their heads in his feet.

"We need to leave! NOW!" Nicholas gritted, grabbing Zahara's hand.

"But Vernoica!" She protested and pulled her hand away.

Nicholas rubbed his face and sighed looking at Zahara.

"She'll be safe. For now, I want you to come with me." Nicholas said, trying to keep his rage at bay. Zahara nodded and followed after him as they sneakily get past through guards and when the perimeters were clear, they ran towards the gates.

"RUN!" Nicholas growled and Zahara chanted something under her lips as gates opened on their own accord.

"RUN EAST! I HAVE MY MEN THERE!" Nicholas shouted as they ran towards the gates.

"CHARGE!" Zahara froze when she heard Lucifer's roar. She risked looking over her shoulder and gasped as she saw angry red eyes of beast, the hybrid whole world was scared of. She knew he was the lighting, the thunder, the storm. And they had done a wrong thing by pressing his wrong nerves.

He was going to break them. And for her, her revenge was everything. It was now or never. And she chose her revenge.

Words flowed out of her mouth like a recited poem as the guards rolled ove rin agony.

"SHE'S CHANNELING FROM THEM! STOP HER!" Lucifer shouted as he swiftly ran towards them and ducked over two guards before tackling her to the ground.

"ZAHARA!" Lucifer heard Nicholas shouting as he himself pinned her on the ground but missed the evilness glinting in her eyes.

He felt himself surprised as he didn't received any struggle from her. He was about to slash her throat when a loud siren blew in the air.

All the werewolves rolled over in pain as Lucifer screamed in agony. Blood seeped through his ears and eyes as he pressed his palms against his ears. The sun had died down replaced with moon's elated moonlight and Lucifer fell onto her knees. Zahara smirked a sshe took it as opportunity to strike him but was stopped when Nicholas grabbed her.

"War isn't over yet." He said and pulled her away.

Draven being a vampire, wasn't affected by the siren and chased after Nicholas and Zahara. His anger knew no limit, his insides screaming at him to avenge his brother's death. His claws elongated as he snarled and ran with his full speed.

He tackled Nicholas to the ground as he landed a punch to his face.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" He snarled and elongated his claws and slashed Nicholas over his chest, making him scream in pain. Nicholas toppled over in pain and his eyes widened as Draven raised his hand and aimed for his heart but was stopped midway by an unknown force and frowned when he looked at his left.

Zahara had his hands in air and eyes closed as she chanted a spell.

Draven's eyes widened as bright pink light erupted through her and his vision blinded. He raised his arm in order to shield his eyes when Nicholas grabbed his neck and rolled over, making Draven pinned to the ground.

"You'll die just like I killed your brother." Nicholas chuckled darkly as he pulled a dagger out of his waist and raised his hand. Draven's eyes widened as he saw the dagger as green vervain stone sparkled and stabbed him in the stomach. "Elijah-"

But he was cut off by the sound of a monstrous growl that echoed from outside all around the kingdom.

"No! No! No!" Zahara panicked as Nicholas looked over his shoulder frowning.

His eyes widened in shock to see an enormous wolf emerge from the forest. He leaped on a large boulder and roared so loudly it caused them all to cover their ears.

"SOUND THE SIREN!" Nicholas shouted at Zahara who was too shocked, her feet planted to ground. She jumped when Nicholas grabbed her arm and shook her abruptly.

"DO IT!" He shouted at her and immediately slipped backwards as he watched Draven coughing on ground, blood pouring out of his wound like a waterfall.

Zahara was about to blew the horn when the wolf bared his teeth at her and lept in her direction. She screamed as wolf slashed her skin with his paws.

Nicholas gritted his teeth as he ran backwards, leaving Zahara back. He could hear screaming coming from where Zahara was, that was quickly silenced by the ferocious growl. The sound of flesh tearing apart had him run fast.

"I-Is that y-you, L-Luc-Lucifer?" Draven managed to let out as the wolf again growled. The wolf immediately stopped in it's track. Blood dripping from his mouth and standing it's paws from Zahara's mutilated body he had just defeated.

The wolf dropped the bloodied head of Zahara as it immediately looked at Draven.

Draven looked at wolf curiously as the wolf walked up to him.

Draven's eyes closed tightly as bright white light blinded his eyes as the wolf transformed into a terrifying man.

Lucifer stood tall in his naked glory, hovering over Draven.

Draven's lips curled up in a smile as he laughed, though his wounds were killing him. "Fuck! The beast fi-finally transformed."

"..I need blood...Her blood.." Lucifer said as he looked down at distorted body of Zahara.
