Lucifer blinked his eyes in horror as he stared at the woman with a huge scar on her face. Not in a million years will he forget the face that ruined everything in the past. The witch, Vanessa!
_____
Yes,it was her,Vanessa. She was back with more plans. She couldn't forget what she went through this past centuries.
Every night she waited for the day Lucifer will find his mate again. She knew she couldn't have him anymore especially with this hideous scar on her face that she got from Bella, the messenger but she doesn't plan on giving up. If she couldn't have him then no one will.
She was saved by that strange man who turned out to be her mate. He was a nine tailed fox, the only one remaining in the world and he only needed her to bore him a heir.
She took in and gave birth to his daughter but he never treated her special. He chased her out two days after her daughter's birth. He took her child away from her and she was going to ruin him too.
Her plan wasn't to ruin Lucifer alone but him too. Kemuel, that was his name. She was going to ruin him once she was done with Lucifer.
She could remember vividly what he said to her as he chased her out that very day.
"You are evil and filled with vengeance. You are greedy and destruction looms over you. I won't let you teach my child your evil ways so am taking her away from you. This should be your way of showing you love her, Go and never search for her. She will live a better life without you"
She cried herself to bed every night and wanted to kill herself but she knew that would only make her enemies satisfied. She wasn't going to give up until she ruin them, every single one of them will pay for every tears she shed.
She found out Neriah was reincarnated in the vampire's clan and it didn't take too much effort to get who hates her from within the clan to work as her spy and that person was Jonathan. He had been doing a good job so far but there's no way she is letting him live once the work is done.
"What's going on?"she asked as she sat on a chair and glared at Jonathan.
"There was no one in her room when we checked. I think we got the wrong information"Elder Jonathan said fidgeting. It was obvious he feared Vanessa.
Vanessa's eyes turned green as she superspeed to his front and dug her long fingernails into his neck. This was her ever since she mated with that fox, she got more powerful.
"Are you trying to tell trying to tell me my magic is malfunctioning?"she asked daringly as she increased the force in strangling him and Elder Jonathan gasped for breathe as he nodded negatively.
She hissed in annoyance and threw him to the floor as she went back to her seat with a sly smile.
"I can't believe you all are fools. It's Lucifer you are dealing with here, he could have made himself invisible when you got there. And as stupid as you guys are, you probably went without magic potions"she said and Elder Jonathan's eyes widened in realization as he managed to stand up from the floor.
"That makes sense but magic is prohibited in the palace so we wouldn't be able to catch him anytime soon"Elder Jonathan said and Vanessa hummed in agreement.
"I know. The truth is you can never catch Lucifer but you can make him surrender"she said cunningly and Elder Jonathan looked at her in confusion.
Make Lucifer surrender? That seems impossible. Unless....
"Don't tell me you are thinking what I am thinking"he said and Vanessa smiled as she stood up and patted his shoulder.
"It's good you put your brain into use for once so I hope you get to work fast and I expect good news this time around."she said as she made to walk out.
"Have you found him?"Elder Jonathan asked and she turned to him smiling sadly.
"No but soon I will. I have a feeling he is coming to me soon" she said as she walked out.
That one person she wanted to find badly. He could spark up all her plans and help her make them move faster. That was Nathan, her brother. She knew he was already reincarnated but she hasn't found him. She knew he probably might not remember the past but with the help of magic she would bring his memories back to him.
Just like her, she was sure he would be burning in rage and vengeance.
"Wait for me, brother. Together we will get justice for our pains"she whispered as she left.
Elder Jonathan breathed in relief as he watched her leave. It was obvious that the tension was much with her around.
"What do you suggest we do,master"Mark,his loyal servant and right-hand man asked and he smirked.
"Let's be her loyal dogs for a while. There's no way we are being her puppet forever"he said and Mark nodded.
He was a great elder in the vampire clan and there was no way he would allow himself be controlled by a woman. For now, he needed her help to get rid of Gabrielle and when he was done with her, he would get rid of her too.

Gabrielle chuckled for the umpteenth time as she slowly walked back home with Lucifer by her side. Her facial expression was dark and unfathomable.
She was used to having people threatening her and after her life but she felt pissed that they were after a mate too.
"There's no way I would let them get him"she whispered but Lucifer heard her and he sighed.
"Vanessa isn't someone you can contend with. She burns with rage and vengeance. Jealousy has eaten deep into her and you know the saying that "there's nothing a jealous woman can't do"" Lucifer said and she scoffed.
"Well, I am not afraid of her. Am Gabrielle, strength of the wolf. There's no one who can win over me and you know the saying "No one is more powerful than a woman going crazy over protecting her possession"she retorted and Lucifer squinted his eyebrow in amusement.
She really had a nerve. Only if she remembered how Vanessa ruined them in the past then she would know that it was better to keep her distance.
"And who's your possession?"he asked teasingly and Gabrielle stopped as she turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
"You! You are my possession and obsession. You are mine now and forever even till the pits of hell. Not even death can do us apart"she said pushing her index finger into his chest and Lucifer's heart warmed at her words.
Death did do them apart in the past but he wasn't going to let it happen again. He pulled her finger and pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly.
"Okay, I am yours. Let's fight against death together"he said whispering the last sentence but Gabrielle heard him as she buried her face in his chest.
"Can you perceive it?" Gabrielle asked and his eyebrow furrowed as he sniffed the air.
Werewolves! They were close by!
"Hold on tight! I will teleport us back home"he said but Gabrielle wriggled out of his hold and he glared at her.
"This is my clan and my people are here. Who knows what they are here for? Let's check it out and if possible fight them off" she said and he stared at her in awe.
Any woman in her position who have accepted his offer and go back home but she still thinks of her people? The same people who don't want her on the throne? Who the fuck said she wasn't worthy of the throne? She was more than worthy.
He trailed after her in slow strides and watched as she hid behind the tree peeping. He also stood behind her and peeped also.
He saw werewolves molesting a young vampire lady as they touched her indecently and he could feel anger radiating from his mate.
Before he knew it, she already approached them sending daggers towards them with her eyes.
"I never knew hot wolves were in our clan. If only I knew then I would have dressed in just lingerie to satisfy their needs"She said mockingly as she made her presence known and they turned towards her.
"You should mind your business unless you want to have the same fate as her"one of them said to her and she chuckled.
"How is it not my business? A member of my clan is getting molested and you want me to stay out of it? And again I don't do broomsticks"she said and they growled in annoyance.
They were well aware that she was referring to their pricks when she mentioned "broomsticks".
"Well, let's show you what those broomsticks can do"one of them said as he tried walking closer to her.
"If I were you, I wouldn't come closer. My fire power is malfunctioning these days and it tend to burn perverted dicks"Lucifer said as he walked out and stood behind her and all head turned towards him.
"And who are you?"one of them growled and he smiled
"Hello! Am Lucifer, the controller of hell and am sorry I came unannounced but hell is a bit scanty so am wondering if I could get some scumbags to fill up the place." he said with a mocking bow and they stepped backward in fear holding the young vampire lady as hostage.
"Let us go and we'll let her live"they said and Gabrielle chuckled.
"That sounds like a good offer but I don't take offers"Gabrielle said and in a flash movement. She moved to their front and dug her fangs into the chest of the one holding the lady pulling his heart out.
Everyone gasped in horror including Lucifer while she didn't shake. She threw the heart into the nearby bush and pushed the lady towards a pathway.
"Run!"she yelled and the lady ran into the road while she fought off the wolves. Lucifer was quick to join although he couldn't still get off the fact that she pulled out a pumping heart in front of him.
That was the cruelest way to kill anyone.
"Shit!They are increasing in number. You've got a wolf, right? Shift let's go"Gabrielle commanded and Lucifer shifted unconsciously.
She had this tone that made him listen to her and obey her commands. Seems like she's a good commander on the battlefield.
"Let's go"Gabrielle said as she jumped on his wolf who purred in excitement.
"Why do I feel like she's enjoying the sight of bloodshed? She's behaving like this is a thrilling adventure"Lucifer said within his wolf and Frediano chuckled.
"What do you expect? She's mated to Lucifer,for crying out loud" Frediano said proudly.
Suddenly, Veer winced in pain and they chuckled. Gabrielle was pulling hard on his fur as they ran. Who would blame her? She probably don't want to fall off their back. It wasn't impossible at the speed they were running.
_____
"That was crazy"Gabrielle said as she got off his back and patted his fur while Veer purred in excitement.
They had lost the werewolves and Veer stopped when they got to a lake.
Gabrielle sat down and Veer crouched before her licking her face. She giggled and squealed as she fell to the ground while Veer climbed on her licking her face and she laughed harder.
"That's enough, cutie. Bring Lucifer back"Gabrielle said and Veer got off her as he changed back to Lucifer.
Gabrielle screamed at the sight of him and covered her eyes while Lucifer chuckled.
"Didn't you ask to see me?"he said teasingly.
"Yes but not like this."she squealed and he chuckled.
Of course, he was stark naked before her and she was behaving like he was the first man she saw naked. Maybe or maybe not.
"Let's take a bath before heading back to the palace. You wreck of blood"Lucifer said as he walked towards the lake and went in.
Gabrielle looked at him for a while and could see only the upper half of his body since the rest was inside the water.
"You want me to take a dip with you? Like this?"she said pointing to her clothes and he chuckled.
"Of course not. You aren't that dumb to get into the lake with clothes on" Lucifer said.
"It's not like am not going to see you naked, sooner or later"Lucifer added and Gabrielle hummed thoughtfully.
Yes, sooner or later, they were going to mate.
She slowly pulled down her clothes one by one till she was stark naked. The cold wind hit her skin and she gently walked towards the lake going in.
Fuck! Lucifer couldn't take his eyes off her. She was a goddess. If he said Neriah was curvy then she was extra curvy. What all this hidden beneath those clothes?
Oh lord save his dick from drilling her tonight.
He carefully walked towards her and pulled her closer wrapping his hand around her waist.
Gabrielle's heart hammered against her chest. She couldn't tell the reason but she knew his touch had some effect on her.
She felt his hot breathe fan her neck and she melted into his arms.
"You are so beautiful and perfect. I don't want you staining your perfect hands with bloodshed. If you are going to kill then don't do it with your bare hands"he whispered slowly as he trailed kisses down her shoulders making her shiver.
"Light!"she called out as she ran her hands through his hair and he growled in pleasure.
He fucking loved her calling him "light". That seem to be her endearment for him.
"Let's just forget it all and drown in tonight's passion"he said to himself as he slammed his lips against hers savoring the taste of her.
She tasted like honey and he sucked it in.
For tonight,there is only Lucifer and Gabrielle. He wouldn't think about the past or about their future troubles. For now, only them matters and no one else.
