I left the bathroom looking for my clothes before I remembered my shirt and bra and pants was in the kitchen. Well crap I decided to wear something of his I didn't feel like putting undies back on. I was still tender it would be nice to wear something loose. There was a dresser across from the bed I looked in the top few drawers and found a black tank and some black basketball shorts. I tide the side of the shirt and the shorts had a draw string this will work just fine. I pulled the string tight Inhaled deeply to let out a sigh and was bombarded by his scent. I lifted the shirt to my nose and just enjoyed it for a moment. I need to stop this what was going on with me I don't act like this some love sick puppy. Was he the reason Aurora was blocked from me or was there another reason? He said to explore the cabin so that's what I decide to do after I finish the meal from earlier. Making my way to the kitchen I figured it would still be on the counter. It wasn't, my clothes were no where to be found it looked like no one was ever in the kitchen at all. I checked the fridge my plate had been neatly wrapped and put away. Taking the plate to microwave I heated up the meal. Still smelled as good as when it was fresh. Waiting I hear some foot steps coming up behind be me I turned to see a very handsome man. Wearing all black and athletic build black hair short on the sides longer and unruly on top. Cleaned shaved squared jawed pointed nose and the most striking green eyes.
"Hello Luna."
Who's he calling Luna? I'm no Luna!
"Um… I'm sorry who? My name is Solaris you can call me Sol."
"My apologize. Are you not with the Azrael? He is Alpha which in turn makes you Luna. You are his mate are you not?"
"I… I don't really know actually I only just met him. I'm sorry I didn't get your name."
"I never said it. I'm Alistair the alphas beta."
I was almost relived when the microwave dinged. I turned and grabbed my plate I was hoping to be able to eat In silence. Then I thought for a second maybe Alistair could tell me a little about Azrael.
"Alistair can I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure Luna I will answer to the best of my ability."
He gestured to the island and the stools that sat on the other side. I took my plate and walked around and took a seat he just remained on the other side and turned to face me.
"What can you tell me about Azrael?
Just mentioning his name I felt a shiver run down my spine. It felt wrong some how, but I shook it off.
"Depends on what you ask."
Well he wasn't going to make this easy was he. I took a bite feeling my stomach grumbling hopefully I can actually eat this time.
"I could ask a million things the real question is what will you answer? I'll start simple how old is he?"
"He's the first you know, I don't Even think he knows his age."
Well that's not at all intimidating. Not really answer either.
"Okay how did he become the first?"
Again the shiver but this time ending with a pit in my stomach, I chose to ignore it again but the feeling didn't go away this time.
"Well I would say that's a question for him, quick answer he broke a few rules and In turn become the first Lycian."
Rules? So dose that mean being a Lycian is a punishment, what does that make me?
"What rules? So he wasn't always a Lycian, was he always an angel? Did he start off just as an angel? Was he always the Angel of Death?"
"Luna I'm happy to answer you questions, but what you are asking me now you need to speak to him about, but yes he has always been the Angel of Death."
"Can you tell me exactly what he actually dose being the Angel of Death?"
"Well yes he guides souls, and keeps the demons in check, among other things."
"I got that much, like what dose he really do? What dose he do with his time."
"He keeps order of all things keeps both sides balance. That's pretty much it he keeps up with the humans histories. Continuously cleaning up there messes he has hope for them thinks they will learn from the past mistakes. Thousands of years hasn't changed them I don't know what he's waiting for."
"He really thinks they will change, what gives him that kind of hope?"
The pit in my stomach was actually starting to hurt something was wrong. But I didn't have a clue what it could be so I just keep on with our conversation.
"You do Luna, This isn't the first time you have met."
What was he talking about I have never seen Azrael in my life. Fuck I have been running from him the whole time.
"What do you mean?"
"I think I have said enough. You two need to have a long over do conversation."
"Okay fine what can you tell me about yourself? You are clearly a Lycian I can smell it on you, but there's something else which not to be mean isn't so pleasant."
He chuckled a little bit before he answered.
"I'm half Lycian half Demon."
In that same moment his eyes turned a smokey white, and then flashed back to there beautiful green.
"You're a demon!? Why are you not trying to kill me? I have only come across a few which I had to kill."
"You've killed a demon little old you, but your so tiny."
"Oh shut up you know nothing about me."
Both of us started laughing. I knew what it was like to be a half breed. You don't fit in with most supernaturals, given most species keep to there own kind. I only keep to myself so at least it seemed like he had Azrael.
"So Alistair was you born or did something happen to you? How you end up being Azrael second?"
"Well like your self I was born. I don't know anything about my parents, but Azrael raised me. It wasn't an easy life I had to prove myself and loyalty over and over. Azrael's not the hug it out type."
All of a sudden I found myself picturing Azrael playing with a little boy laughing enjoying the sun. I shook it off, Alistair just said his life wasn't easy how could the Angel of Death be a real father. I'm sure he cares in his own way, but I don't know him enough to make a real decision.
We sat for a moment I took a few more bites off my plate. I knew all the things I wanted to ask him I needed to ask Azrael. He seemed like a decent person there must be a reason Azrael trusts him to be his second in command and why he left me here with him. I was about ask another question when I started to feel warm tingles all over fallowed by a freezing cold chill that sent goose bumps over my body. A second later Azrael walked through the door covered in blood deep gashes all over his body. My heart started rapidly pounding in my chest I ran to him tears streaming down my face. This time it was me doing the catching before he hit the floor.
