CHAPTER 21 💘 22
(Day 2)
Neriah rushed down the stairs as she headed towards the kitchen. She had made a bet with Lucifer to wake up before he do. She got into the kitchen with a smile on her face as she looked around and there was no sign of him.
"Yes,I did it!"she said as she jumped up with a smile on her face.
"Seems like you really woke up early"she heard and when she turned she saw Lucifer carrying a bag of vegetables. It was obvious he had been up since.
"It doesn't matter anyways. You are up before me"she said solemnly as she sat on a stool and Lucifer chuckled.
"Well,it does. You have to help me in the kitchen"said Lucifer and Neriah faked a yawn.
"I don't think I can. I feel sleepy and weak. It must be because I climbed the hill yesterday"said Neriah faking a tired look and Lucifer scoffed.
"In case if you've forgotten, I carried you"Lucifer said with a sly smile and Neriah bit her lips.
"Then I should blame your wolf then. He played so much with me and now I can't lift a limb"said Neriah. She wasn't willing to give up.
"Really?? But you lifted your entire body a few minutes ago when you couldn't find me in the kitchen. Like this 'Yes,I did it!'" said Lucifer as he mimicked Neriah's earlier action with a mocking smile and she glared at him.
He ignored her and went ahead to wash the vegetables.
"Is this how you prove yourself to me?By making me assist you in working"Neriah asked feigning annoyance. There was no way she was making breakfast with him.
She prefers him doing all the work while she just sit back and eat the food. It had always been like that for her, she never had to step her foot inside the kitchen.
"It's not gonna work,mate so quit acting"said Lucifer earning a huff from Neriah.
"You are such a joy killer. The name 'Lucifer' suits you well"Neriah said defeatedly with slumped shoulders.
"I wish I get to meet who named you 'Lucifer'. The person sure has a good eye"added Neriah and Lucifer tensed as he turned to her.
"No one named me"said Lucifer and Neriah raised her eyebrow at him questioningly.
"Then how do you come about the name?"asked Neriah and Lucifer shrugged.
"It was my name even before I was born. My demon and wolf were mine even before I came to earth. They belonged to the 'past me' and they will surely belong to the 'future me' if there is one"Lucifer said emotionlessly pricking Neriah's curiosity.
"You have a demon also?"asked Neriah and Lucifer smirked at her.
"He's the craziest of all. You don't want to meet him"said Lucifer.
"I will love to meet him someday"Neriah said and Lucifer smiled lovingly.
He also wished she gets to meet his demon but tomorrow is their last day together. She might leave him before she gets to know him.
"What about your parents? Don't tell me you don't have one"Neriah asked and Lucifer's eyes turned cold.
"Well, I don't have one. Even if I do,I don't need one"said Lucifer and Neriah felt chills.
Everywhere turned cold at the change of his emotions. He hated thinking about his parents. He never met them neither did he try looking for them. He once tried but he met her,his mother and her words to him still remained fresh in his head.
"Don't ever come closer to me if you want to live. You are forbidden and evil. You aren't meant to happen and your existence is a curse to the earth. Live the little time you have on earth doing your evil works because sooner or later,your end will come"
Those were her words to him and he held them to his heart. He was going to prove to her that he can survive in this world. That forbidden son will break through all challenges. It had been five years now and her image refused to clear away from his head.
The woman who birth him,the woman who left him,the woman who hated him,the woman who called him 'forbidden'. He will surely make her eat back all the words she spat at him.
"Lucifer, stop!'Neriah cried out as she hugged herself and gnash her teeth in cold. The temperature had dropped so low and she at once regretted asking about his parents.
They must have left a huge scar on him for him to turn this way. His knuckles were white,His eyes were blazing fire with golden sparkles and his hair turned silver.
Lucifer turned to Neriah and his eyes almost pulled out of their sockets as he rushed towards her and hugged her tight.
"Am so sorry"he said and the temperature gradually changes back to normal as he calmed down. His feature went back to normal also.
"You shouldn't have done that"he said internally and his demon scoffed.
"Then you should have controlled your emotions. You know how much I hate that woman yet you thought about her"retorted his demon.
Yes,that was his demon. Silver-haired with red-golden eyes and he always appears with a cold and freezing temperature.
"What was that?"Neriah asked after she calmed down and Lucifer looked at her with a smile.
"My demon came out. He hates the thought of our parents"said Lucifer and Neriah squinted her eyes.
"So that wasn't you?"asked Neriah and Lucifer nodded.
"My demon comes out with silver hair and red-golden eyes and also a chilling temperature."explained Lucifer and Neriah nodded affirmatively.
This was driving her crazy. She looked up to meet his eyes and then she realized the position they were in.
He was hugging her tightly and her looking up to meet his face made their lips a few inches apart.
Oh God!Save her from kissing this lips.
She moved closer and they were only a few breathe away. She will do what her heart wants and when it was all over,she's ready to blame it on the mark.
"Kiss me"she whispered softly and Lucifer's heart raced.
He could hear her thoughts and was ready to hold his demon back from devouring her but hearing her saying it out loud was enough to make him grant her wish.
He slammed his lips into her savoring the taste of it. Exactly the taste of vanilla.
Neriah closed her eyes as she deepened the kiss. This was what she wanted and of course it confirms her suspicions. His lips tasted like cherry. She slowly bit his lower lips and he opened up as she slid her tongue in it.
No,she wasn't an expert at kissing but watching so many romcom dramas had taught her a lot.
Lucifer chuckled softly as he felt her tongue struggling with his.
"Let's give mate the best kiss of a lifetime"he thought as he took control totally.Sucking,nipping and battling with her tongue.

Meanwhile, Vanessa watched them through her magic mirror and she clenched her fists in anger. She had been trying to watch Lucifer for the past years but it wasn't futile.
Fortunately for her,the barrier broke and she could see him but unfortunately she got to see him kissing that foolish himan.
"It's wrong to spy on other people's intimate section"a voice said behind her and she turned to find a black-haired handsome man smirking at her.
"What a nice surprise,Killian"said Vanessa not bothering to hide the sarcasm in her voice.
"You don't look excited to see me, Vanessa"replied the man named Killian as he sat on a stool and Vanessa glared at him.
"I never said you could sit"said Vanessa as she took her seat opposite him and he chuckled.
"So what do we have here? Lucifer and his little mate"Killian said as he stared at the magic mirror.
Something about the lady pulled him closer and he found her captivating. He knew for once that he wanted her and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
"So what are you doing here?"Vanessa asked impatiently as she closed the magic mirror.
"I was just passing by but now I think I came to correct the deal we had with you"said Killian with all seriousness.
"I thought we finalized it yesterday"Vanessa asked with raised eyebrow.
Killian is the prince of the vampires, his father is the king and he would be passing the throne down to Killian any time soon.
"No,we didn't. I have another offer. We won't be killing the lady"said Killian with a 'not-so-handsome' smile and Vanessa frowned.
"Why not?"asked Vanessa and Killian smile widened.
"I want her"he simply replied and Vanessa glared at him but she dare not speak.
Killian wasn't only the future king of the vampires but he was also the first vampire to possess seven superpowers. He was special powerful and of course undefeatable.
"I guess I'll be leaving now"said Killian as he stood up and walked towards the door.
"I know you know better than going against me. Remember, nothing happens to the girl" Killian added as he walked out.
What effect do this human girl have to turn the hearts of men? First it was Nathan,now Killian?? No way,she better find another option. She wants Neriah dead at all cost
_____
Killian smiled as he remembered the face of the lady with Lucifer. He wouldn't allow anything happen to her. He will have her to himself alone.
"Wait for me human, I will get you soon"he muttered.

Lucifer stared at Neriah flushed face and he smiled. She turned and their eyes met. He gave her a wink and she hurriedly rushed up the stairs.
"Mate is so cute"his wolf purred and he rolled his eyes.
"That gave her a good show"said his demon and his facial expression darkened.
"Is she still watching us?"asked Lucifer.
"No,she isn't but I sense a very big danger coming"said his demon and Lucifer hummed.
"Let's just enjoy the moment. Put the barrier up again. She have seen enough"said Lucifer and his demon nodded.
Lucifer knew that the witch was watching him all along and that was why he deepened the kiss with Neriah.
If she wanted a show then he already gave her one.
"I guess am making breakfast alone after all"Lucifer muttered as he looked up the direction of the stairs Neriah ran to with a smile.
