LET'S
CHAPTER 9 💘10
Nathan walked into a dark coven as he thought of his deadly escape a few minutes ago. He was held down at the Amstel's and he knew Mr. Amstel had no intention of letting him go. He was running out of time and he knew that Neriah's disappearance wasn't something the police could solve.
He saw the man's eyes and he was certain that he wasn't human and now he will get answers to all his questions.
"See who decided to come home"a beautiful woman said as soon as Nathan got deep inside the coven. The place was more like a witch's shrine.
Yes,his mother was a witch while his father was human and that beautiful woman is his sister,Vanessa. She inherited their mother's genes and became a very powerful witch while he chose to live as human not bothering to enhance his powers.
"Long time,Vanessa"Nathan greeted as he pulled her into a hug and she wiggled out of his hold.
"Why are you here?"she asked with a sullen face and he smirked.
"I missed you"he stated simply and Vanessa hit his chest while he groaned.
"Filthy liar,you came because you need my help"said Vanessa as she sat on a stool and Nathan sat opposite her.
"That's true."Nathan stated as he put on a serious look. "Neriah has been kidnapped by..."Nathan was explaining when Vanessa's words cut him short.
"She is his mate."said Vanessa as her eyes glowed.
"Whose mate?"Nathan asked slowly as he prayed that it wasn't what he was thinking.
"Your thoughts are correct. She's Lucifer's mate"Vanessa said and Nathan gasped loudly.
That implies that he fucking met with Lucifer. Oh no!
"You will die if you know who I am so go to sleep" Lucifer's words sank into his head. He fucking escaped death but he still wouldn't lose Neriah to him. He will get her back no matter what it takes.
"That's going to be dangerous"he heard Vanessa say and he was sure she heard his thoughts.
"What do you expect me to do? Leave her with him. You fucking know how I feel about Neriah"Nathan said coldly and Vanessa sighed.
"But she's his mate. They belong to each other,you should wait for your mate too"said Vanessa and Nathan scoffed.
"Am sure Neriah doesn't acknowledge him as her mate. I wonder how she will be fairing now with that animal by her side"Nathan said as his mind drifted to Neriah's weak nature.
Suddenly,something clicked in his head. The last reincarnates of Lucifer were always killed at birth but how come this one survived till now.
He turned to Vanessa with a questioning gaze. He didn't have to say anything as she already heard his thoughts and he heard her sigh.
"His mother saved him. She threw him away at birth and never looked back so it was hard to locate him. He also never caused any chaos or deaths till now. I feel like he is different"said Vanessa and Nathan scoffed.
"He isn't. Evil will always be Evil and nothing else"Nathan said and Vanessa nodded negatively.
She had inquired about him but she got nothing. Although they all know that Lucifer was in the world but he lived like a ghost and only few had an encounter with him and she was lucky to be among the few.
Her mind drifted back to the memory and a smile appeared on her face.

(A few years back)
Vanessa was coming back from a witch meeting when she was waylaid by some vampires and werewolves. She knew what they wanted.
She was a very powerful witch yet she had no destined mate but whosoever mated with her would be able to get half of the power she had.
She clung onto her bag as she started to enchant some spells to teleport away from there but before she could, she got push to the floor.
"Don't you dare chant any spells,just keep calm let's all mate with you. Don't be selfish with your powers"said one of them as he pinned her down while another tried to pull of her clothes and she could only scream.
A loud growl was heard and everywhere was shaken. The men quickly let her go as they looked around to check who made the sound. A handsome man walked out with red eyeballs as he glared at the men.
"You...a...re...Lu...ci..f..e..r"stammered one of the men and the man laughed. It wasn't a good one.
"It will be a waste to kill you so scram.."howled the man and they shivered as they ran away.
He slowly walked towards her and checked her body for any wounds but there wasn't.
"You aren't injured so you should be able to get home"she heard him say with the most enticing voice she had ever heard and he tried to leave but she held him back
"Why did you help me?"she asked and he turned to her.
"I didn't help you. You were screaming too loud and I was trying to get some sleep"he said as he left her there.
That day,he left with her heart as she already fallen for him. Ever since she tried looking for him but he never showed up and she kept herself for him. Only him deserves half of her power though it was nothing compared to his.

Nathan watched his sister and he knew she was hiding something from him. He was going to find out no matter what.
" I met Lucifer"Nathan said and Vanessa's eyes widened as she turned to him.
"Why do you look so shocked? Didn't you meet him too?"Nathan asked with a raised eyebrow and Vanessa sighed.
"You are weak,Nathan and you shouldn't interfere in matters like this"said Vanessa and Nathan rolled his eyes.
"But you want him,don't you?"asked Nathan and Vanessa bit her lips.
"Let's work together. I get Neriah and you get Lucifer."said Nathan and Vanessa stared at him.
"This is a dangerous part you choose to take,brother. I am in"said Vanessa and Nathan smiled.
They both knew that at the end of this part they are two options.
Either they win or they get destroyed. Whichever way they already chose their part.

Neriah woke up and coughed loudly as she rubbed her aching neck. She looked around and saw that the room was empty.
Memories of earlier flowed back into her head and she shivered at the memory of his fangs. She was really in a fantasy world. This was probably a result of watching 'vampire diaries' and 'the underworld'.
She should have just listened to Nathan and stay away from those kinds of movies now they are haunting her in real life.
Oh no! Nathan!he was with her that night and the psychopath probably saw him too. He couldn't have killed Nathan,right? But that isn't also inevitable.
The door creaked open and the psychopath entered as he stared emotionlessly at her and she unconsciously shifted back.

Lucifer walked up the stairs as he opened the door to check if his mate was awake. She had been unconscious for hours. He opened the door and walked in slowly. He saw how she moved back and his heart hurt even his wolf and demon whimpered in sadness.
"What did you do to him?"Neriah managed to ask and Lucifer looked at her questioningly.
"Who's him??"he asked and Neriah snapped at him.
"Don't fucking pretend,you psycho!"she yelled and he masked his hurt.
"She's asking about that pervert she was with the other day"said his wolf and Lucifer's eye darkened.
"I didn't kill him"he stated simply and Neriah sighed in relief though she still had some doubt in her.
Lucifer stared at her and scoffed. She is a fucking whore! She cares about another guy when her mate is standing before her.
He held his fists together trying to control himself as he saw her look at him. He couldn't fathom what she was thinking but he think he saw hatred in her eyes.
She now hates him!
"Do you hate me?!"Lucifer uttered before he could stop himself and his heart pounded loudly as he was afraid of what her answer will be.
Neriah stared at him blankly. He fucking kidnapped her yet he was kind of a question.
"Yes! I hate you" she wanted to yell but something told her not to so she calmed down.
"Well,I don't but I don't like you either"she said and Lucifer breathed out in relief. Neriah saw that and she couldn't understand why. It seemed like he didn't want her hating him, what a real psychopath!
"Well,you kidnapped me but I believe you had a reason to. Besides, no one has the right to hate anyone"Neriah added shocking even herself.
"We still have a chance"said his wolf and he hummed in agreement.
"Yes,we still have a chance"Lucifer replied.
"What?"Neriah questioned and Lucifer smiled at her sheepishly.
"A chance to make you love us"said Lucifer and Neriah stared blankly at him.
"Let's do this"he said internally.
