Gabrielle stepped back as her hand flew over to her mouth. She watched Lucifer turn to her, he was sending daggers at her through his stare.
Lucifer hurriedly went to the mirror to check his neck and he could see a tattoo of crossed swords and beneath it was Amaryllis flower. That must be her symbol. It looked beautiful but judging by the situation of things, he was mad at her.
How could she?!
"Am sorry, I didn't mean to"she said and Lucifer scoffed angrily.
"What did you take me for? A fool?"Lucifer barked and Gabrielle gulped down in fear.
"I swear I was overshadowed by my bloodlust. You know I wouldn't mark you against your will"Gabrielle said gently and Lucifer growled at her.
"I don't fucking care about your bloodlust! You've done what you always wanted,right? You wanted to be bonded to me and here it is we are bonded"Lucifer said dangerously and Gabrielle's eyes darkened.
Why was he making it sound like she did it on purpose? She was apologizing because she didn't mean it besides what was bad in being marked by her. He was hers anyways.
"I don't know why you are being absurd with this. If you are so angry, you can mark me too" she said pushing her neck towards him but he growled making her flinch.
"You want me to mark you so our bond will become stronger?? You think you are smart?? I won't fucking mark you"he growled at her and she rolled her eyes angrily.
"Why do I feel like there's more to this than my mark? Is it because of her? You don't want her to see my mark on you. Well,deal with it,dick head. You are mine"she barked angrily and Lucifer growled as his fangs elongated.
"You are crossing the line,Gabby. You don't want to see me angry"he growled and Gabrielle growled back with equal strength as she bawled her fangs at him.
On a norms, she would have gotten excited that he gave a nickname "Gabby". It sounded sexy but she was mad at the moment.
"Bring it on. Trust me, you don't want to see me angry either." she said and that was the last straw.
"Am done staying with her."he said to Frediano who scoffed.
"Stop being absurd. The fact that she marked us means nothing and you know. Nothing will happen until we mark her. Her mark only proved that she accepts us but if we mark her then it means we've accepted her too."Frediano said and he sighed.
"I can't trust myself around her, Frediano. Am losing it and I might just plunge deep into her and punish her for marking me and you know the consequences of that"he said and Frediano chuckled.
"Should I take over?"asked Frediano and Lucifer agreed giving the body to Frediano.
Gabrielle felt the temperature drop rapidly and she was sure that if she wasn't a vampire, she would be frozen. She turned to Lucifer and saw him transforming. His hair turned silver and his eyes turned redder and had shimmer of gold in them.
She realized at once that this wasn't Lucifer so she stepped back but he kept on coming closer with a sly smile on his face.
"Who are you?"she asked with a little confidence and Frediano chuckled.
"Poor me! I thought our mate wasn't afraid of anything. Turns out you are a scared cat. Am Frediano, Lucifer's demon"Frediano said as he stared at her and she squinted her eyebrow.
"Wow! I didn't know Lucifer was this cowardly to push his demon to the surface amidst an argument"she said sassily and Lucifer growled within Frediano who chuckled.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you. He left to withhold himself from draping your legs over his shoulder and plunging deep into you. That's will be his punishment to you for marking him"Frediano said and Gabrielle gasped as a sly smile appeared on her face.
"I never knew he also thinks naughty. I thought I was the only one having wild thoughts. Bring him back"she said and Frediano nodded negatively.
"No, you are stuck with me till he is willing to talk to you"Frediano replied and Gabrielle rolled her eyes.
It's not like she cared. It seems that Frediano is less annoying compared to Lucifer. She might as well enjoy her time with him.
"So what should we do while we are together?"Gabrielle asked and Frediano raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't we talk about the bunch of idiots that came into your room earlier?"asked Frediano and Gabrielle's eyes darkened as she sat on the couch.
"Just a bunch of idiots, who don't want me to take over the throne"she said darkly and Frediano sat opposite her with his fingers on his jaw.
"Why? I mean you are strong, beautiful and capable"he asked and Gabrielle smiled sadly.
"At least you see that in me but to them am a weak woman who gets to win battles by luck. Am a slut that is sassy and spoilt" she said and Frediano unintentionally growled.
"No one talks that low of my mate!" Frediano growled and Gabrielle stared at him amused.
"Who is it?!"he said and she chuckled.
It feels good that someone was willing to fight for her but she wasn't going to drag him into her mess.
"You don't have to know. I can handle them. Elder Jonathan and his perks are no match for me"she said and Frediano's eyes darkened.
"Elder Jonathan? I guess we will have to pay him a visit"Lucifer said within and Frediano hummed in agreement as he smiled at their mate.
No one is allowed to make things hard for her! She is his mate!
"Let me take you somewhere"Frediano suggested as he stretched his hands to Gabrielle who ran into his arms hugging him tightly.
"I am ready to go anywhere with you. Even into the pits of hell, it will be fun controlling hell with you"she said and he giggled.
"I could take you to heaven to"he said biting her earlobe and she whimpered softly while Lucifer growled at him.
He laughed internally as he teleported to a dark forest where fireflies were flying everywhere.
Gabrielle pulled away and stared around in awe as she admired the place. It looked heavenly and for a while she forgot her troubles with Elder Jonathan and her clan.
"Where is this place?"she asked and Frediano chuckled as he draped his hands over her shoulder.
"You can call it a mini heaven"he said.
Frediano had known this place for years and had always wished to take Neriah there but he never got the chance to. He was very happy that at least he got to take Gabrielle there.
He turned and saw her smiling happily as she caught one firefly and he smiled in satisfaction. This was the look he always wanted her to have. She should always be happy.
He was against Lucifer staying away from her but he couldn't force Lucifer to stay with her too. He knew the danger they might get into if they fully commit themselves to the bond. He doesn't want the past to repeat itself again but he also didn't want to see Gabrielle in pain.
"Do you think Lucifer hates me?"he heard Gabrielle ask and he turned to her but her back was turned to him so he couldn't see her facial expression.
"No, he doesn't. He might act like he doesn't care about you but he cares most. Staying away from you is his way of protecting you"Frediano said and Gabrielle turned to him.
"Protecting me? From what?"She asked and Frediano smiled as he carefully tucked a hair strand behind her ear.
"The less you know, the better it is"Frediano said and she smiled
"If he's listening, then I hope he knows that am not weak and I can fight for myself. I hope he let go of all fears and give us a chance. Let him allow a "us" to happen."she said and Frediano sighed sadly while Lucifer whimpered internally.
"I hope he listens this time"Frediano said as his gaze moved to her lips and Gabrielle knew what he was thinking.
With further ado, she tiptoed and slammed her lips against his while Frediano pulled her in kissing her deeply.
His lips were so cold against hers but the friction made heat flow through her body.
Suddenly she felt the temperature drop back to normal and she wanted to pull away to know what happened but his grip around her tightened as he nipped on her lips.
Lucifer took over pushing Frediano deep inside. The bastard ripped him of their first kiss with their mate.
He thrust his tongue inside her mouth as they fought for dominance and considering the kind of lady Gabrielle was, she wasn't making it easy.
They played with their tongues for a while before pulling out breathlessly as they stared into each other's eyes.
"Fine, let's give us a chance."Lucifer whispered and Gabrielle giggled.
She was glad and she can say that her meeting with Frediano was fruitful.
"But I can be crazily possessive. I won't take anyone touching or kissing you including Frediano so let's get your lips cleaned up"Lucifer said as he kissed her back and Gabrielle smirked.
So he was jealous of his demon? A typical kind of possessive psycho and she liked it.
She pulled him closer and ran her hands through his hair earning a purrs from him and he spanked her butt in approval.
Why the fuck was she kissing those men? Her mate here, is the best kisser she ever met. His lips were spicy and could drive one crazy.

Gabrielle laid her head on Lucifer's chest as they watched the fireflies above them.
"Are you still leaving after three days?"she asked and he hummed.
"I have to. I can't keep staying in your palace but you can visit me in the mansion if you like."said Lucifer and she purred in disappointment.
"Can't I just live with you?"she asked and he chuckled.
"You can but am afraid you might chop Amelia's head off while she's asleep. Am well aware of how much you hate her"Lucifer said and Gabrielle hit his chest.
"I don't know why that bitch stays with you. She's the more reason I want to stay with you"she whined and Lucifer laughed.
"Amelia isn't what you think she is. If she wanted me then we might have already had kids by now but she doesn't. To her, am a brother and a friend and to me she is a sister"Lucifer explained earning a growl from Gabrielle.
All through the years, he paid less attention to Amelia yet she cooked for him and made sure he thinks less. He knew she was also hurting from the loss of her mate but she never showed it. She was a true definition of friend and he hoped her mate stays truthful to her.
Wait, her mate??That bastard??
"What's up with you and Amelia's mate?"he asked and Gabrielle froze.
She wasn't expecting that. Weren't they talking about him and Amelia?? How did it get to her and Kennedy??
"We are in a partnership"she simply said and Lucifer growled.
"I won't ask what kind of partnership but cut the deal off. I don't trust him around you"he said and Gabrielle scoffed.
"Just as I don't trust Amelia around you"she retorted and Lucifer sighed.
Seems like she will be a hard nut to crack. So dominant and never relenting.
Oh his dear Neriah wouldn't dare go against his wishes but now she came back with a fierce attitude.
He will surely enjoy taming her and making her a submissive who will obey his every command.
