Stiles' POV
I drove back home.. Alone!. Lux hadn't come back yet and Keeper had told me not to wake her up since that would be distracting her spirit from her parents' meeting with her.
Dad wasn't at home. I was actually glad about that though I'm pretty sure that Keeper must've used her powers to lull dad into her lie because if not, dad wouldn't have left for work, I would have found him at home waiting for me to give me that long lecture or even ground me.
I laid on my bed face down as I sniffed on the pillow that Lux usually laid on. It still had that sweet scent of hers that calms my nerves and all my senses. I wonder what her parents are telling her.
What is she telling her parents?.
In general, what are they talking about?.
Will her parents accept me as her mate?
I really want her by my side forever.. And ever!...
I took in a deep breathe, debating whether to shower or not. Deciding to finally have a quick shower to be freshened up before Lux comes back.
I stood up from the bed as I made my way to my dresser to grab a clean clothes, got in the bathroom and undressed my dirty clothes then got under the shower.
My quick shower turned to a long relaxing one. I actually not sure when I zoned out but all I know is that I was thinking about Lux and nothing else.
I wanna love you in this age miracles
Yeah,I believe dreams come true
You make me feel real is possible
My love,baby that miracle is you
I really should stop with all these. I'm being to obsessed with her and I really can't help it. I just can't control myself and now that I know we're mates, how will I be able to hold all of these emotions back into place?.
I closed the shower tap once the warm water runner cold, took a towel to wipe myself but then I heard footsteps in my room. Heavy footsteps.. Not made by Lux but by someone else.
I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid. I'd be lying if I said that my heart didn't hammer hard and fast against my chest!. I was afraid and Lux wasn't here to protect me from this unknown person who'd broken into my room.
That wasn't my dad. I was very sure of it. He'd call me first or maybe he called it's just that I didn't hear him because I was preoccupied by thinking about Lux?.
If it's not Pops... Who is it?.. I'd locked the front door perhaps it's a burglar who broke in?..
Then I remembered my bedroom window... I never closed it because of the pack. They used to come into my room through the window at times. Isaac, Derek and Scott and at times Peter would also come.
Shit!..
I'm really sure it's one of them. Lux isn't here to give me that brief of courage and bravery that she gives me. So, how I'm I going to face them?.
I took a deep breathe as I wrapped the towel around my waist and made my way to my room.
I froze.
For a brief moment I wished it had been a member of the pack but it wasn't them.
It wasn't dad.
And I wasn't sure if this guy was a burglar either.
It was one huge man. Hulk. Huge than even Derek and Peter combined together. He was Caucasian skinned, had dark curly hair, tall and very muscular. This man would easily crush me into powder and leave me for dead!.
He had worn white robes which were laced with a bit of goldish colors at the hem. He had sandals too!. A part of me told me that this was one of Lux's emissary though I've never met them before... The same part of me felt safe as the fear that had crouched in me started to crumble down as the man looked at me then his eyes darted away quickly.
"My lord. Israel pays his respects to you". The man, Israel said with a low bow.
"Israel?". I questioned.
"Yes my lord. Lady White sent me to keep his lord company and protect him from unknown dangers". He said. His head still in a bow.
I smiled at that. Israel being here meant that Lux was thinking of me also even if not in the same way as I do. It's obvious the guy teleported here... 'Or perhaps he used the window?..' I thought as I shifted on my feet to look behind him.
"My lord. If you don't mind, please put some clothes on". He said in a hesitant tone as if he was afraid that I was going to be angry.
I looked down at my body. Yeah right!. Put some clothes on!.
"Yeah, right. I'll be back shortly". I answered with a small smile before going back to the bathroom to dress up.
°°°°°°
Israel wasn't bad a company to hang out with. He didn't talk much but he listened to my every rumble without minding. Well, we weren't exactly hanging out.. I'll just say that we were hanging indoors, in my living room where we were watching a movie.. Where I was talking midst the movie but Israel didn't complain. He laughed at every dumb joke I gave out, grinned at my sarcastic comments and also gave me a few proverbic comebacks which I'm sure that it's Lux who taught them to him.
"Are you laughing at my lame jokes because you are afraid of making me sad or because Lux asked you to?". I asked as the movie ended.
He looked surprised by question. His brows furrowed as he looked at me.
"No my lord. No one asked me to play a game". He responded.
This guy was a bit of old school but he was still cool.
"I didn't say you were playing a game". I retorted with a roll of my eyes.
He smiled.
"I find you incredibly funny my lord." He honestly said.
"Why do you insist on calling me 'your lord'?". I asked curiously a part of me really not wanting to hear the answer because I didn't want to feel rejection. Was he aware that I was Lux's mate, that's why he referred to me as 'his lord'?.
Perhaps it's just the fact that Lux is my guardian also and he has to show his respects?
"Or is it because Lux is my guardian?". I asked again.
"No. Lady White owns you an explanation though". He answered shortly not wanting to go further details and I knew better than to press harder.
"OK. Are you hungry?". I asked.
"Angels don't get hungry that fast. I ate a lot of manna this morning". He said.
"Manna? What is that?". I questioned as I shifted on my seat.
"A type of bread that is found in the first heavens where The Trinity lives. You should ask Lady White to bring you some". Israel suggested.
"Well okay". I said as I stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen. I made myself a sandwich before going back to the living room where Israel was.
The door bell rang.
"I wasn't expecting anyone. No one visits me and I'm sure it's not Lux. She would have teleported inside". I tell Israel before taking a bite of my sandwich.
"Yes it's not Lady White." Israel said as he tilted his head to the side as if he was listening to whomever was outside to know whom it was.
"Two Hales and Lahey". Israel said.
Did he mean Derek and Peter Hale? And Isaac Lahey?.
"Shit! Why are they here?". I questioned. He looked at me with a raised brow.
"What? You are an angel and angels know everything!". I exclaimed while pushing away my plate of sandwich, totally uninterested now in eating.
He took a deep breathe. "There is a barrier around this house if you didn't realize. It got stronger when I got in the house so whatever supernatural creature is outside can't listen to us nor sniff as out and I can't read their minds with them being outside the barrier." He explained. "I'm afraid that my powers here are limited".
"It's fine. I know Lux did that for a reason".
"Yes, the barrier weakens any supernatural creature that is in the house a part from her. To give you multiple protection". He answered.
I took in a deep breathe.
"You have nothing to worry about my lord. I'm here, I can overpower them in case they try to harm you". Israel said as light white smoke covered him up before it cleared away, he was now in blue jeans, a black tee shirt that showed off all his biceps and matching sneakers.
"I guess this will lessen suspicions of who I am. Just tell them I'm a friend". He said with a small smile. I nodded slightly as I took a deep breathe and made my way to open the door.
Why were they here?
I'm pretty sure they're here to ask me about Lux.. Or ask me to go back to the pack. There is no way that I will comply with what they want.
Where were they when I needed their moral support?. I understand Isaac, Scott and Lydia for their behaviour towards me because I totally deserve it. But Derek and Peter?. Anyways, I guess it won't hurt listening to what they have to say.
Lux's POV
I took a deep breathe as I got out of the great hall. Father and Mother had summoned me spiritually to discuss with me about Stiles.
The meeting had gone well than I had expected it to be because my parents accepted him. All we had to do was give him proper training of a god... Unseal his immortal merits which I know aren't always easy to unlock.
Goddess Mazu, the lady of the sea had her immortal merits unlocked when she was killed by demons, the demon god Babayada became immortal through pain and suffering and I did not want Stiles to go through pain, death nor suffering for him to turn immortal.
Father said that we could wait for the Tree with the fruit of life which is found in the first heavens to blossom and we could give Stiles the fruit to eat which would easily turn him to immortal and a strong god by enhancing his powers. The tree would blossom after a few moons so it will be enough time to train him and also deal with Babayada.
I was happy, I had my mate... My parents had approved of us and all I had to worry about was the demon bullshit before embracing my 'happily ever after' with the man I loved.
I suddenly felt uneasy. Uncomfortable... As if something bad was happening. But what could go wrong here in heaven?.
Unless....
Unless it's Stiles feeling this uncomfortable and uneasy. I know I sent Israel to watch over him but what could be happening to make him feel this way?.
I turned to the emotionless water that's always at the front of the entrance of the great hall. I waved a hand above the water as I stepped into it. A couple clouds appeared before displaying Israel and Stiles in his living room talking.
"Two hales and Lahey". Israel said.
Aren't those the members of the pack that kicked Stiles' out?. He doesn't want to be around them.... I have to do something.
I quickly walked out of the water before going to my mansion, back into my body. I shifted into my human body.
"Finally you're back!". Keeper exclaimed happily.
"Stiles went back home". She added as she sat on the bed. I gave her a small smile as I got from the bed.
"We'll talk later Keeper". I said as I got ready to teleport back to Stiles' place. Having sensed the urgency in my voice, she just nodded her head rapidly, I sent her another small smile and left.
