CHAPTER ONE

"We are here." The man says as he gets out of the car and opens the door for me after removing the blindfold that was around my eyes.

"Was the blindfold necessary?" I ask angrily as I get out of the car.

"Trust me. It was necessary." He adds with a serious tone.

I just shrug it off as I turn my back to find myself face to face with the hugest castle I've ever seen. But weirdly it was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by huge trees. What is this place and why was I brought here? My thoughts get interrupted by a man's voice wearing the most expensive suit. I knew this because it fitted him well and you could clearly see it was 100 percent wool.

"The golden girl is here!" He announces cheerfully as he descends the stairs walking towards me. He had dark raven hair that was styled into an under cut glistening under the rays of the sunset. His cold icy blue eyes looks at me with warmth and danger at the same time. But he was super attractive as his tall well built physique towered over me. He suddenly takes my hand and kisses it softly as I feel his very cold lips. Is he made of ice? I ask myself because also his touch was cold under my sweaty warm hand.

"Welcome home my dear." He says as he places his cold hand on my small waist sending a shiver down my spine. I retreat clearly not comfortable by the way he's treating me like he knows me and I don't. To my eyes he was a complete stranger. I then turn towards the huge castle... Studying every corner of it and let me tell you it was creepy asf. It looked like a vampire castle the one in the animation Hotel Transylvania. It looked as if people died in there and I could hear womens cries of suffering and pain or maybe I was tripping.

"What do you mean by home? And why was I removed from the group? Also who are you?" I ask in one breath as the man stares at me astonished and chuckles lightly.

"Come Inside I'll explain everything." He starts to walk, climbing the stairs before me as I stand there hesitantly.

"Come on don't be shy. Nothing will happen to you I promise." He sincerely says as he lends me a hand for me to take. Oh God be with me. I pray inwardly taking his hand and heading towards the already opened huge doors. We enter into a huge open space and Infront was a huge throne decorated with gold, diamond and silver. There were two chairs, one was big and majestic while the other was medium and majestic in the same but you could tell which one was whos. Above the throne was a huge statue of a goat head and I knew directly it resemble the baphomet. Are this guys Satanists? Did they take me to do some ritual? Now I started to freak out.

"Everyone meet Lilith, Lilith meet my children. Ivy, Blake and Enoch." He says but something was not right. Why did he call me Lilith... everybody know who Lilith is in the bible and she wasn't good.

"Excuse but my name is not Lilith, it's Dove. Dove Brooke." I correct him as he looks at me a slight grin appearing on the corner of his pink lips.

"Oh I know your human name. But when you're in here we prefer using our real names. Mine is Asmodeus. While my human name is Dominic." He was so calm when saying all this. Like it was something normal when it wasn't. I didn't know I had two names my mother never mentioned it. Also how does he know me that well when I've never seen him or met him anywhere. He could be lying and maybe trying to manipulate and control me. And why the hell is his name Asmodeus the demon of lust. Maybe he's the actual demon. It explains the creepy statue, the weird castle and the taking of girls from my town. Why do they do that... The elders and our parents don't tell us anything...we are just told that it's the right thing to do and that it keeps us safe but from whom?

"I'll let you meet everyone during dinner but for now you need to get cleaned and rest a little. The servants will take care of everything. Also don't wander off without a person to guide you okay my dear? I nod my head and he smiles at me walking off towards his children as two women I presume they were the servants escort me upstairs.

"Lilith! " I hear a mans voice call out and I stop in my tracks.
