BLOODY HELL!

Ayannah! I knew that name very well. Victoria told me about how she was the one who killed Endor, the first-ever born hybrid.

"S-she killed Endor, right?" I looked up at my father into his heartwarming gaze. Did Lucifer know? Of course! He knew.

"How do y-well never mind! And yes, she was the one but Eleonar has nothing to do with it. She never knew about her mother's motives." It made sense. Eleonar was terrified of her mother. Probably that's why she eloped.

"Enough of witches, tell me, what parts of your beautiful life did I miss?" There was curiosity dancing in his emerald eyes.

"Almost everything.." He looked remorsefully at me. I knew he missed several years of my life. He missed watching me grew up. He missed everything.

"I'm....sorry, my child." His voice was heavy and hoarse with the weight of guilt. It was not his fault. It never was.

"But now you can watch me grow old," I grinned up at him which seemed to make him smile too. But I was not sure of my words, I didn't know if Lucifer would let me live here. His abrupt protective behavior was still giving me thoughts that I didn't want to express. 

A figure hovered behind my father as I tilted my head to take a good look at the person. The messy brown hairs and matching hazel eyes send a wave of familiarity through my mind. 

A hand reached and plastered on my father's shoulder as he turned to look at the intruder. A huge smile decorated his face as he removed his arms around my waist and hugged the man.

My eyes refused to believe as I looked at them. This was not the state I had seen him the first time. He was bloodied and looked weak but now his muscles protruding out of his grey silk shirt were making him look more manly and muscular. 

"Cassian!" My father grinned at him as I looked nervously at him. The same feeling of anxiousness took over me when I first met my parents. And when his eyes traveled to me, I wanted nothing more than to swallow by the floor.
A glint of shock and awe danced in his eyes before he looked at our father.

"May I?" He extended his hand as I looked startled and strangely at him. Without further due, ignoring the hammering of my heart in my ribcage, I placed my hand in his as my father nodded at us before leaving us, chuckling.
He slowly circled his arm around my waist before placing my other on his shoulder as we started swaying with beats. I was feeling the turmoil of emotions inside me. A refreshing feeling developed inside me as we danced.

"How are you?" After what felt like hours, he finally said something. Without glancing at him, I mumbled.

"I'm good, how are you?" He wasn't here when we arrived which made me wonder where was he?

"Happy," Unknowingly I looked up at him before a grin managed to trip over his face. 

I didn't think I had ever smiled this much when I abruptly circled my arms around his torso before pulling him in a tight, warm hug.

"I missed you." He whispered in my hair, hugging me back. I never felt so safe and secure. The brotherly vibes radiating from him gave me the happiness and security I craved since my life turned upside down. 

"Let go of her,” I jumped startled as a thundering growl erupted behind me. Cassian's arms loosened as he looked behind me with a tinge of anonymous irritation in his eyes. 

"She's my sister," Cassian muttered calmly. No matter how much Cassian was annoyed but he knew talking rudely to Lucifer would end him up with Lucifer's hand around his neck. 

A muscle in Lucifer's jaw twitched as his hands clenched in fists along with the darkening of his eyes.

"I got this," I mumbled before pecking Cassian on his cheek before smiling up at him and swiveling towards Lucifer. My actions seemed to fuel his anger more.

He roughly positioned his arm around me and yanked me towards him making me hit his rock-hard chest. A groan left my lips as I tilted my head to look at him. His jaw was still clenched and his devilish eyes were piercing through my soul making me want to hideaway.

His tall and muscular stature was making it hard for me to look up at him. The heels I was wearing were doing no good.

"We're going back," he said. I immediately looked up at him with narrowed eyes not liking his suggestion. 

"No!" I almost cried. I was not ready to go back, not when I had my family back. Did he just let me have the happiness for a few minutes only to snatch it later?

"What?" He said not because he didn't hear me. It was because he was giving me chance to change what I had just said. 

Stubbornness flowed in my veins like blood and I replied almost regretting it.

"I'm not going back." I scoffed oblivious of fragments of anger dancing in his blue irises. His grip tightened on my waist and I gasp for air as his claws pierced my skin. By now I was sure, blood must be oozing out.

"The whole point of bringing you here was to keep you safe, but guess what you're one little malefactor, who attracts problems anywhere she goes." He nearly growled near my face. 

"How am I the one to attract trouble when there was someone who wanted me dead," I wanted to yell but I didn't cause I knew how would my yelling at him would end up. 

The man or vampire who nearly killed me in the garden was never my intention. I never called him to come and kill me. 

He scoffed before crushing me in his arms. I yelped as I clutched onto his biceps, digging my nails into his flesh.

"Wearing this filthy dress and swaying your ass in front of these hungry wolves, what you think you were doing, huh?" He dug his claws deeper and I so badly wanted to scream. The tears stung my eyes as the need to let them fall overwhelmed me.
