Amelia walked towards the border of the demon's clan and stopped. She knew she was taking a huge risk and of course she wasn't going back. Not when, she is at the border.
"Who are you?"she heard a voice behind her and she turned nervously.
"Am Amelia and I want to see your king"she said and the man who seem to be the guard of the border sniffed the air before looking at her disgustingly.
"You are a wolf so what business do you have to do with our king?"he asked with disgust and she sighed.
She walked closer to him and showed him Kennedy's mark on her neck.
"If you are not dumb then you should know why I need to see him"she said and the guard's eyes widened.
She was carrying their prince's symbol. A sword blazing with fire and rain falling on it. He respectfully bowed and Amelia sighed.
"Just take me to the palace"she said and he nodded as he led the way.

King Alistair stared at the woman before him and snorted. She is so courageous to come to him herself and it's a win for him. He wouldn't have to go through the stress of abducting her like he did to Gabrielle.
Yes, he abducted Gabrielle and she's currently in his dungeon. He plan on threatening her to get married to Kennedy and he would force Kennedy to mark her so that can break Kennedy's bond with Amelia.
Well, as fate will have it, Amelia is right before him. She willingly walked into the hell herself and he was willing to send her six feet's under.
"And what can I do for you, young lady?"he asked and Amelia scoffed.
"I don't think we are on friendly terns to talk politely since you probably know who I am. I will go straight to the point, stop trying to separate Kennedy and I. We are true mates"she said with a stern expression and King Alistair hummed thoughtfully.
"I am such a fool for trying to separate you both. You are true mates and you should be together besides you are beautiful and bold. So you can just go back home, I will send Kennedy to you or better still ask around for his room and wait for him there."King Alistair said and Amelia's eyebrow furrowed in confusion.
Okay, that was unexpected. Maybe Kennedy exaggerated about his father. This man spoke kindly and didn't make her stress too much before accepting. She suddenly felt bad for talking rudely to him then she heard a loud laughter and turned to King Alistair.
King Alistair laughed loudly as he carefully moved towards her dangerously and his face expression becomes stern.
"You probably expect me to say that right but no. You aren't suitable for my son. You will only make him weak. I have experienced being betrayed by my mate and I won't allow my son experience that so I wouldn't let him have a mate. Mates are weaknesses"King Alistair said and Amelia glared at him.
"Your mate might be your weakness but I will be Kennedy's strength. You shouldn't ruin us before giving us a chance"said Amelia and King Alistair chuckled crazily.
"A chance? She used up all the chances when she left. She left with my son and I have never seen him. Kennedy is the only reason I kept pressing on and am not going to watch him ruin himself even if it means killing you"King Alistair said dangerously and Amelia gulped down in fear.
"You can't kill me. Kennedy will never forgive you"she said and he smiled evilly.
"Oh, he will forgive me and forget you as time goes on because he would have Gabrielle by his side. To make him stronger and give him a heir"King Alistair thundered and before she could process what was happening she was held by two guards and she struggled to break free.
"Take her to the dungeon and make sure she stays in the same room as Gabrielle. It will be nice seeing the person who will take over her position when she dies"ordered King Alistair and they pulled Amelia out.
He beckoned to his personal guard who came closer.
"Make sure a word about what happened doesn't get out to anyone's ears especially Kennedy."said King Alistair and the guard nodded affirmatively.

Gabrielle woke up when she heard a loud sound and looked around her to see a woman thrown beside her. Then sounds of gates closing was heard.
She looked around and memories of earlier swam into her head. She was kidnapped.
She watched the woman raise her hand up and her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at her. Lucifer's mistress?? Amelia?? What was she doing here?? Was the kidnapping related to Lucifer??
"Why are you here?"she asked and Amelia rolled her eyes.
"I should be asking you that. Weren't you suppose to stick to Lucifer so how did you end up here?"asked Amelia and Gabrielle scoffed.
"I asked first"she said and Amelia sighed.
"I came to visit King Alistair and we had an argument, the rest is history. I ended up here at the end."said Amelia and Gabrielle raises an eyebrow at her.
Okay, first she now knows that she is in the demon's clan. That means King Alistair was behind her kidnap but why?
"You mean you weren't kidnapped? You came to him on your own? Are you crazy?"Gabrielle questioned and Amelia scoffed rolling her eyes.
"What do you expect me to do? He was going to separate me from Ken"she said and Gabrielle had the urge to hit her but she didn't.
"You mean you came here because of Kennedy? That scumbag? Didn't you think about the consequences?"she yelled and Amelia bit her lips.
"Don't scold me when you are in the same situation as I am"she said slowly and Gabrielle glared at her.
"Unlike you, I didn't come here consciously. I was knocked out."Gabrielle huffed and Amelia rolled her eyes.
"So what do you plan on doing?"asked Gabrielle and Amelia stared at her questioningly.
"Don't tell me you don't have a plan? You probably don't want to stay here and wait for your fate, do you?"asked Gabrielle and Amelia shrugged.
It wasn't like she had a choice!
"Oh you are so dumb! I can't believe we stayed together for over 500years and you remained dumb"Gabrielle said and Amelia turned to her with a gasp.
Gabrielle smirked as she transformed back to Lucifer.
"Surprise!"Lucifer said and Amelia hands flew to her mouth.
"How?"she asked and Lucifer chuckled as his eyes darkened.
He had put Gabrielle to sleep this morning when she insisted on going to the meeting. He went to the meeting in her form and was the one the letter was given to.
He purposely went to the border planning to beat hell out of Kennedy but as fate will have it. He got kidnapped.
Literally, he allowed himself to get kidnapped. He could have fought the man off as the sleeping potion had no effect on him but his curiosity got the best part of him.
He wanted to know who wanted to kidnap Gabrielle and their reason behind it.
"Transmogrification"he simply replied her and she nodded.
"So do you have any idea why he kidnapped Gabrielle?"he asked and Amelia's face turned solemn.
"He wants her to marry Kennedy. He probably want them to mate so he can break the bond between Ken and I"she said and Lucifer growled.
"So where does he plan to put you?"he asked and Amelia smiled sadly.
"Six feet's under"she said and Lucifer's eyes switched as Frediano was fighting to take control.
"Calm down, Fred."he said and Frediano growled in response.
He couldn't fucking calm down. Someone was making plans of joining his mate with his son and he was told to calm down when all he wanted to do was to rip his head off his body.
"Does Kennedy know you are here?"Lucifer asked and Amelia nodded negatively.
"Then let's get you out of here, first. Things might get bloody"he said as he pulled her into his arms and teleported.
He teleported to the mansion and dropped Amelia.
"Stay safe" Amelia said and he chuckled.
"It's not war yet. Am just going to warn Alistair"he said and Amelia smiled at him.
"Come home with Gabrielle soon"she said as she walked in and he smiled as he teleported back to the dungeon and transformed into Gabrielle.
He carefully broke through the gates and walked out of the dungeon exuding a dangerous aura although he wasn't in his own form.
"How did you get out?"A guard said as he launched to attack him and he snorted.
"Ask your mother's pussy when you get to hell"he said as he ripped his head off his body.
He did the same to every guard he came across until he reached the throne hall and with a loud thud he broke the doors and walked in.

Kennedy knelt before his father as his father explained to him how he intend to make him marry Gabrielle. His father kept on telling him the advantages but his mind was faraway.
He was feeling worried and restless but those weren't his own emotions. They were Amelia's. Ever since he marked her, he could sense her emotions and he wondered what made her worried.
"I understand, father. I will get Gabrielle as soon as possible"he said to his father who chuckled.
"No need, I already got her for you"his father said and his eyebrow furrowed.
Suddenly the door fell down with a loud thud looking as dangerous as ever. There was blood on her hands yet she looked unfazed about it.
"Gabrielle!"he called out and she turned glaring at him dangerously.
"What are you doing here?"he asked and she walked towards him and in a swift movement, a punch landed on his face.
"Fucking ask this dickhead father of yours"she growled and he turned to his father wiping the blood off his mouth.
Lucifer smirked in satisfaction. He had always wanted to punch Kennedy and that was the perfect opportunity.
"Father, did you kidnap her?"Kennedy asked his father unbelievably and his father smiled walking towards them.
"Yes, I did. I also have Amelia, your stupid mate in my custody. I didn't have to kidnap her though. She came here willingly"said King Alistair and Kennedy growled as Zack tried to take over.
"Well, that was a stupid move on your part. Do you really think you could kidnap me mate?"asked Lucifer as he transformed back to his form and King Alistair moved back unconsciously while Kennedy gasped.
"What should I do to you? You almost kidnapped my mate and my sister."said Lucifer as he walked towards him and King Alistair stepped back.
"I didn't know"he stuttered and Lucifer chuckled darkly as he appeared before him and strangled him.
"But you know now, stay away from them. I am letting you go this time because I haven't prepared a space for you in hell. Next time we meet, I might have built a castle for you in hell and am sure you wouldn't want to go there. I don't care about the deal between you and your son but keep Amelia out of it. Not even a hair on her hand must be missing. Also take away the mentality of thinking Gabrielle might get married to your son. She's mine and mine alone!"Lucifer growled as his eyes turned redder.
Frediano was on the edge and he was using all his strength to hold him back from killing Alistair.
"Scumbags aren't meant to live. He will only cause more problems"Frediano growled.
"Think about Amelia. She might get mad at us for killing her father-in-law" said Lucifer and Frediano scoffed.
"He doesn't even acknowledge her!"he barked in reply and Lucifer sighed.
"Please! Let him go just this once"Lucifer pleaded and Frediano grumbled as he locked himself in and Lucifer loosened his grip around Alistair's neck.
Alistair crawled on the floor as he gasped for breathe and Lucifer turned walking towards Kennedy who had just be watching everything.
He grabbed his collar and pulled him closer.
"Fucking man up, will you? Amelia risked her life for your relationship today. She knew your father might kill her yet she came. Will you stop staying under his umbrella and fight for her? What do you have to lose anyways? The kingdom? I think it's time for you to choose. Whether you will be with Amelia or continue being your father's puppet just because you want to inherit the kingdom. The choice is yours but whichever way don't hurt Amelia 'cause if you do. I will personally drop you at the gates of hell"Lucifer barked as he threw him to the floor and teleported away.
Kennedy sat on the floor processing Lucifer's word. He was right!Lucifer was fucking right!
Why was he sticking to his father? Was it really because of the kingdom?
Now the he looked at it, his father had never treated him with love for once but rather than moving away from him,he stayed. He stayed in this castle and obeyed his father's rules like a puppet.
It was time for him to decide a future for himself. Whether he wanted Amelia or the kingdom. He stood up and headed outside.
"You aren't planning to go to her, right?"Alistair asked his son and Kennedy turned to him.
"Watch me go to her, father. Am done being your puppet"he said and his father chuckled.
"You don't expect it to be so easy, right?"his father asked and he looked at him questioningly.
"You don't expect me to give you your freedom easily,right? You will have to fight for it"King Alistair said and immediately guards trooped out from the four corners of the hall.
"Why? Why are you doing this father?"Kennedy asked near to tears and his father scoffed.
"One day, you will thank me for preventing you from ruining yourself"said his father and the guards sprinkled demon's bane everywhere to prevent him from teleporting.
"We don't have to do this father"he pleaded and his father chuckled.
"This is the only way, son"his father said and turned to the guards.
"Make sure he doesn't step out even if you have to cut a few limbs and break a few bones. He will heal up anyways"his father said as he walked out and the guards turned to Kennedy glaring at him.
Kennedy couldn't believe he would have to fight with the same men he went to war with but now they were on opposite sides.
"Fucking rip their head off"Zack growled as he took over and rain started falling heavily as Kennedy's appearance changed.
His hair turned golden and his eyes were like the sun rays. His demon,Zack had come forward and rain was his symbol whenever he did. Heavy rain always came with Zack.
"Its being a while, fellas"Zack gritted out as he lunged towards them. He was different from Kennedy. Zero percent friendly and hundred percent cruel.
He killed them mercilessly and looked around for one person he had always wished to kill, Alistair!
"Zack, don't do this! Give the control back to me and let's leave"Kennedy pleaded but he ignored him.
If that man stayed alive then more chaos is to come in their relationship with their mate.
Kennedy fought back for control but Zack kept on fighting against him. During their little fight, they failed to notice a sharp dagger coming towards them and in a swift movement it went into their stomach.
Zack growled as he looked up only to be met with the eyes of that of his greatest enemy, Alistair. Kennedy whimpered in pain as he stared at his father.
Was he wrong to have stopped Zack from killing him?
Well, it was too late to regret now. The deed was done.
"Bastardo!"Zack gritted out as he fell to the floor holding his stomach. The rain got heavier as wind blew.
"It's not over!"Zack said as he teleported away with the last energy in him.
He didn't know how he did it since demon's bane was in the room but he realized something. His warriors helped him, they probably didn't sprinkle the real demon's bane.
He found himself before Lucifer's mansion and he couldn't speak out anymore.
"Mate!"he mind linked Amelia as he fell to the floor and passed out.
