I’d make sure of it. Micheal was never going to get close enough to put his hands on her ever again.
“And what about you?” She asked,
“What about me?”
“If it’s your job to keep me safe then it’s my job to keep you safe.”
“Catalina I-”
She reached over and took my face in her soft delicate little hands and pulled me closer,
“No. No one gets to harm you. Not ever again.”
I smiled at her.
“Protective of me are you?”
A bright smile escaped her lips as pulled me closer to her,
“I’m always protective over what’s mine.” She said before she pressed her lips against mine. Her essence surrounded me as her familiar scent of vanilla and lavender engulfed us and I indulged in the sweetness of her lips. She was mine and I was hers and I would fight for her as fiercely as she had fought for me.
“Very well, my Morningstar.”
It was an interesting feeling. To know that someone wanted me safe. That someone wanted to keep me safe but it was also terrifying. To know that if I did not return home one day she would not only be heartbroken but angry and I pitied the person who would have to deal with her rage. But that wouldn’t happen. I would not allow anyone to take me from her and nothing and no one would ever stop me from returning to her.
“Come with me, There are some people I’d like you to meet,” I said as I brushed that stubborn piece of hair out of her face.
Catalina fumbled a little bit as she spoke,
“I should probably freshen up and change and fix myself up.”
“You look perfect exactly as you are.” I leaned down and kissed her forehead.
I gently picked her back up and carried her down the stairs where my family was waiting.
I took a deep breath as I gently placed Catalina down and took her hand. Slowly we approached the four familiar faces I hadn’t seen in centuries. They looked at me and then at Catalina and as one, dropped to one knee and bowed.

Catalina’s POV
I stared at the four strangers as they knelt and bowed their heads to Lucifer.
“You all know damn well you don’t have to do that,” Lucifer smirked as he said it and I could see the slight glassiness in his eyes. He hadn’t seen these people- his family, in centuries, and now here they were. In front of him.
The tall woman from earlier stood up first and the rest followed.
Lucifer squeezed my hand and I looked up at him,
“Catalina this is my family,” He pointed to the man on the far left,
“That is Azazel,”
The man known as Azazel stood tall and proud, his medium-length dark brown hair grazing just an inch below his shoulder, he also had pale white skin that emphasized the pinkness of his scars that decorated his body, and muscular build and incredibly high and chiseled cheekbones. His eyes however were terrifying dark blood red.
Azazel bowed deeply to me as Lucifer pointed to the second extremely tall male, who had his long ebony hair in tiny braids that went to his chest. Two large horns that came to a very sharp point with milk chocolate skin and eyes that were bright ruby red.
“This is Malphas,”
