Chereads / TAINTED [BL] / Chapter 18 - The Creatures of Light II

Chapter 18 - The Creatures of Light II

Lucas was left alone in the garden of roses, he had sent his precious family to safety, and nothing could stop him now. He knows this was not a mere dream or revelation, this was a sign, that someone was manipulating his dreams, someone was calling for war and he's pretty sure that things weren't going to be pretty.

"River, are you okay?" Bruno asked a sulking River who refused to speak to anyone.

"Get Lucifer, his son won't speak to anyone- even his mate," Sam sarcastically said.

They were in the parlor room of the castle. Damien was trying to coax his upset mate, but River wouldn't budge.

"I heard my name" Lucifer appeared out of thin air, this usually happens when any of his mates mention his name with urgency.

"Your son wouldn't talk, he's been like this since dinner yesternight" Sam lousily said.

"What's wrong, River" Lucifer dryly said with an unamused expression on his face. He raised an eyebrow at his ward's behavior.

"It has something to do with his mate, stupid Damien called him a child," Lucifer said, before disappearing from there almost immediately.

"Haha. Wrong move Damien, he has a very bad memory of that" Sam said, amused.

River pouted as he walked out of the room.

"Did you even apologize?" Sam asked, narrowing his eyes at Damien.

Damien's expression changed from confusion to realization as it all finally clicked. He stood up from the couch he was sitting on and casually left the parlor room.

"Lucifer was worse," Bruno said with a shake of his head.

"You are right" Sam agreed with a nod to his head.

"Ruby?" Damien called out. He traced his mate's scent to the garden's maze.

"Leave me alone" River whined, though he couldn't deny how much he loved the way his name rolled off his mate's tongue smoothly. Damien could practically hear the pout on his mate's lips.

He vanished from his initial position and appeared in front of his pale mate.

"Oh my god! You can't do that, you almost gave me a heart attack" River shrieked, placing his hand on his erratically beating chest.

Damien chuckled when he saw the white expression on his mate's face, River getting lost in his mate's laughter after calming down.

"I'm sorry," Damien said, a small smile adorning his lips.

"Huh?" River dumbly asked.

"For unintentionally calling you a kid" Damien clarified.

"I hate that I cannot stay mad at you for too long" River huffed, puffing out his cheeks.

"Well-" Before Damien could finish his speech, his mate had already disappeared from his presence.

"What a naughty mate I have" Damien tsked with an amused smile tugging at the end of his lips;

"I'm not complaining though," He said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips. ot a mere dream or revelation, this was a sign, that someone was manipulating his dreams, someone was calling for war and he was pretty sure that things weren't going to be pretty.
