“So I suggest you learn to play nice with me if you want to live.”
“Where is Gabriel?” I had enough of Micheal and honestly, I was ready to kick Gabriel’s ass if he left me here with him alone.
“Gabriel is out and will be back soon.”
Micheal finally released me and I was able to stand up. Shards of glass still pierced my skin. Everything in my body ached as I stood up.
“I’ll wait for Gabriel in my room.”
I didn’t wait for his reply as I turned my back to him and slowly made my way back to my room. Each step feeling his heated gaze aimed at my back.
I hate him.

Lucifer’s POV
“Who else knows how to break the lock?”
He knew. He fucking knew. All this time.
The bastard knew all these years and kept it to himself. I should be pissed. I should be angry and hurt yet I understood.
“Just Michael and I.”
Only them? Interesting.
“I am only doing this to keep Catalina safe.”
Catalina. Damn, I miss her.
“Do you honestly think I would hurt her?”
I would never hurt her and I hoped that Gabriel would realize that. However, if someone had harmed her, there would be nowhere in this world that they could hide. I would hunt them down and bring her their heart.
“I think you would do anything to return to your people.”
I would.
I would do anything. Sacrifice anything. Except for her.
“I would never harm her Gabriel.”
“Do not lie to me, brother. Do you really expect me to believe that you have feelings for her? Do you expect me to believe that you actually care about her? You showed no feelings towards her until after The Fates showed us that vision. So what changed Lucifer?”
Everything. Everything had changed.
I didn’t understand what was happening or why but I had found myself getting closer to her. I wanted to be close to her and be there. I wanted to hear everything she had to say just so I could hear her voice. I wanted to train with her longer just so I could spend more time with her. I needed her. I wanted her. I craved her.
That night in her bedroom, when I had tucked her into bed and admitted to her that I had begun to think I was in love with her, the Fates confirmed what I had already thought. What I had already known to be true and was slowly starting to realize.
“I do not expect you to believe what I say, and yes I admit I acted more on my feelings when I saw the vision but make no mistake brother, I have cared for Catalina longer than I wish to admit.”
From the moment I met her, I was drawn to her. I couldn’t understand why, in the beginning, I thought it was because we were so similar. Seeing her filled with such rage and pain. It was like looking into a mirror and seeing a younger version of myself.
“Perhaps I should have made it known sooner and trust me. It is the one thing in my life I regret, but I chose not to. I chose to keep my distance and damn it I shouldn’t have. I acted more after the vision because it confirmed what I already felt and had hoped to be true.”
I leaned forward, pressing both my hands on the kitchen island, I leaned in closer,
