I spent half the day with them waiting for Azrael to finish his meetings. Drinking at least 5 glass of whatever they girls had made I was feeling a bit tipsy and decided to head back to are cabin.
"Soul I know what you was thinking back there about Lilith and Azrael, we can't ignore it." Aurora rang through my head. I wanted to forget about it I couldn't let my self dwell. It would tear me apart I had to talk to him, but I would wait right now I just wanted to rest.
I had to pass back through the forest a chill traveled down my spine. It was a feeling I was familiar with whenever I came close to a reaper I have never actually seen one, but I could feel them. As I walk deeper into the woods off the path the chill ran through the rest of my body straight to the bone. Then there he was in the middle of the woods. Long silver hair alabaster skin a black leather cloak long fingers with pointed nails. His face looked soft but had very pronounced features in his cheek bones and beveled chin his nose was narrow it came to a point his ears reminded me of what an elf would have looked like The most captivating thing about his face was his amethyst colored eyes surrounded by dark lashes. He was truly stunning very other worldly elegant and ominous even.
"Hello Solaris ." His voice was silky he spoke slow and steady if velvet had a sound it would be his voice. I was to lost in his beautiful eyes to look away from him or even answer I stared for far to long before I could rely.
"Who are you?" I ask a lopsided grin spread across his face.
"We are Legion true guardians of the dead."
"You're a reaper aren't you! Why have you shown your self to me." From what I understand they never revel themselves. If they do it's not with their true face, usually someone you love or trust and only when your about to die..
"We would never hide from you we came to deliver a message we have waited a very long time."
"Well what's your message then." I tried to be brave but I felt scared not knowing what he was doing here it didn't feel like I was going to die any second.
"The light of life shines brighter with the morning star together they will recede the darkness."
"What? Who gave you this message?"
"You did Solaris we are forever by your side no matter your living form ."
"My side? I don't know you."
"Trust your dreams and your instincts tell no one about our meeting Solaris." Then he disappeared in a puff of black smoke. I could feel Azrael approaching I hurried back to the path my heart beating a little faster then normal. Do I say something to him or keep this to my self?
"Little Wolf how was your day?" Azrael was coming up the path behind me.
"It was fine what about yours? How was your meeting it took all day what did you guys talk about?"
"You sure your okay you look pale."
"I'm fine just a little to much to drink I was heading back to rest."
"Are you sure that's all your mind seems clouded." His hand brushed the hair from my face and kissed me. It still amazes me the calming feeling just a simple touch from him gives me.
"Yes that and everything that's been going on I'm just sorting through it, but we can speak later I really do just want to rest."
"Alright but we still have much do discuss and I would like to head to your apartment find out what your witch knows." Reign of course I did really want to head back.
"How are we going to get there we are on the other side of the ocean? No more spells!" Azrael chuckled lightly.
"No I will fly use of course." I could feel my stomach drop I could only imagine being shot from the sky over the ocean would be like.
"I guess, but rest first then we leave." He nodded and grabbed my hand and we continued to the small cabin. Once inside I plopped on the bed I was so tired for some crazy reason.
"Azrael come and lay with me please I want to feel you next to me." When he joined me I snuggled into his chest listening to his steady heart beat. His hand rubbing my head front to back till I feel asleep. Aurora made her self known before the darkness completely took me.
"Soul we have to comfort Azrael, Anubis tells me he is hiding something big from us and fears we will run from them if we know the truth. I think we have already figured out what the truth is."
"Yes Aurora I know I just can't bring myself to say it not even to you. Please let's sleep we can destroy our happiness when we wake let's just enjoy the peace now please."
"Okay Soul."
"One more thing Aurora. How was is Azrael only saw clouded images earlier?"
"I have learned how to block him the same way I can block you. I can teach you I have a feeling we will need to keep our thoughts to our selves for a while." I would of nodded if I wasn't speaking to her in my head but sleep came in quickly, then the dream began.
I was laying with my head on Azrael's lap while his hand caressed my hair. My legs laid in Lucifer's lap has he rubbed my feet and legs. I felt so warm so comfortable so whole and happy I knew these moments was always to short. I had to sneak out of the silver city and my absence would be noticed if I was gone to long.
I could feel the rumble in Azrael's chest and look up to see Legion waiting.
"Legion it's so good to see you it's been far to long." I sat up from thier lap and ran to hug him. As usual he was hesitant and awkward.
"Oh come on Legion I have known you literally sence the beginning of time loosen up."
"My lady as always it is good to see you. As you know I don't feel affection, but I am forever pledge to you and will protect you as needed."
"You know is it's a shame those eyes of yours any women would be lucky." A slight smile crossed his face a sight I have only seen a few times in our long life. But he was loyal and in his own way care for me. Azrael stood taking Legions attention away I'm guess they had some business to attend legion wouldn't of showed up if there wasn't. Lucifer came to stand behind me.
"My love will you walk with me?" I looked to Lucifer then to Azrael and he nods to me. We walked away from the crowd and bon fires everyone lost in there own bliss these pack celebrations always end this way. I wished I could run and shifted with them I know apart of Azrael regretted staying behind with me his wolf Anubis always gave him a hard time about it. I was still learning to adjust to this new part of him.
"My love don't fret Anubis holds no grudge towards you he's a Wolf and the call is strong they are still learning each other but even Azrael's Wolf can't deny it's love for you and neither can I."
"How did you know I was thinking about that?"
"Its not hard to read you when someone pays attention as I do." We walked till we reached the water and small sand cove. The night was chilled, but it felt nice as I looked up at the stars it was hard to appreciate there beauty when in a short time I would have to return to them and leave both my men behind, again it never got easier and my heart broke a little more every time.
"Lucifer why?"
"Why what my love?"
"Do you wait for me any one of these moments could be are last. You may not be in heaven but you are free here. Free to be with anyone."
"I don't want just anyone. I want you I want you enough to share you. I would never take you from Azrael, but part of me will forever wish you was only mine. Remember you may be fated and bound to Azrael, but you choose me." The sincerity in his deep turquoise ocean eyes made my heart skip a beat. I had never thought of it that way. There was no pre destiny with Lucifer everything I feel for him is my own manifestation it's genuine and pure. I kissed him with every bit of passion and love I had for him.
"I did choose you didn't I." My hands moved over his chest feeling every muscle. His hand caressed my sides. Things was just starting to heat up when the distinct sounds of wings fluttered besides us.
"Metadriel my lady I apologize but Michael is looking for you." I could feel my eyes roll back to my prison in paradise calling me back.
