Noel walked through the halls of the Gabrielle's quarters digging through every nook and cranny. Although his identity as her personal knight was fake but he still needed to ensure she was safe after all he loves her.
He walked through the garden and found solace there. It was beautified with Amaryllis flowers of different colors and he knew their deep meaning, STRENGTH!
He was sure Gabrielle must have planted those since it had the same meaning as her name. GABRIELLE, THE STRENGTH OF GOD.
He chuckled at the thought of that. He would love to make her weak for him only.
"Wait for it, Gabrielle. I will show you a world you never expected. You are mine alone"he said as flames of determination rekindled in his eyes.

Gabrielle hummed in the kitchen as she made dinner in her personal kitchen. She was bothered with the thoughts of her new personal knight but she decided to let it go. It's best to watch it all unfold as it is said "Curiosity kills a cat"
She felt an arm snaked through her waist and a familiar scent hit her, her mate. She relaxed in his arms and sighed.
"What are you making?"Lucifer asked and Gabrielle giggled.
"Am making stew with scallops and crabs. We could use some veggies and rice as a companion to them"Gabrielle said and Lucifer chuckled.
"I can't wait to taste it"he said as he took his seat and Gabrielle resumed her cooking.
In a few minutes, she was done and she dished it into two plates placing one before him. She watched as he dipped a spoonful of rice into the stew and put it in his mouth.
"So how is it?"asked Gabrielle and Lucifer giggled.
"It tastes heavenly"Lucifer said as he moaned savoring the taste of the stew and Gabrielle smiled as she dipped in too.
"It's still surprising that you can cook"Lucifer said as he finished eating and Gabrielle was washing the dishes. He stood up and assisted her.
Gabrielle turned glaring at him. He was now in his real form, the form she liked best.
"Don't talk like you know the "me" who is a bad cook?"Gabrielle said and Lucifer scoffed.
"You almost burnt a whole mansion all because you were making pancakes"Lucifer said and Gabrielle furrowed her eyebrows.
"Is this something about the past?"Gabrielle said and Lucifer nodded as he sat on a chair pulling her to sit in his arms.
"You aren't doing what I think you are doing, right?"Gabrielle asked in disbelieve and Lucifer smiled at her.
"I will show you all that happened in the past"Lucifer said and Gabrielle beamed in excitement.
Lucifer decided to tell her everything about the past as he didn't want to regret it later. With Noel around now, he feels that it was getting more unsafe as each hour passed by.
Gabrielle held tightly to him as she got carried away in the illusions he made before her. Those illusions that truly took place but she couldn't remember anymore.
She laughed and cried as she watched it. She even teased him a bit when she saw the place they first mated. It turns out she was a human in her past life and she got abducted by him.
He marked her forcefully and made her fall for him uncontrollably.
He deserved her marking him and abducting him after all it was karma speaking but her body tensed up unconsciously as she saw him fighting.
"Relax. We can stop if you want to"he whispered to her but she refused.
She watched it all including the part where she took the arrows for him. Her jaw clenched in anger as tears fell down her face uncontrollably. If there's one thing she is grateful about then it is that she saved Lucifer in past life at the cost of hers and their baby's life.
Lucifer's face reddened as his jaw clenched watching the day he lost it all. The day she chose to he selfish and leave him all alone.
"I will never forgive you for that day. You killed our baby along with yourself for a meaningless thing"Lucifer said huskily and Gabrielle turned to him.
She could see tears in his eyes. Those eyes were filled with hurt, pain and sorrow. These must have been his emotions when she left. He must have suffered a lot although she doesn't remember it, she still doesn't regret it. If the need come again, she will risk her life for his.
"I don't remember it but even if I later do, I don't regret it"she said and Lucifer glared at her holding her chin with his hands.
"But I did. Every single day I blamed myself for abducting you in the first place. I should have just let her live her happy life. I shouldn't have implicated her with my problems. I could have locked her up in a room instead. I shouldn't have marked her. Those were the things I said to my self everyday if only I had the power to take back time then I would have stopped myself from marking you"Lucifer said as tears fell down his cheeks and Gabrielle cupped his cheeks.
"Do you regret loving me? Do you regret being with me? Do you regret the times we spent together?"Gabrielle asked and Lucifer nodded negatively.
"I don't but I wished I did things differently just like I did now. Until I eliminate the threats to our relationship, I won't mark you" Lucifer said and Gabrielle scoffed.
"Does that mean we won't have any problems? Whether you mark me or not, challenges are meant to come"said Gabrielle and Lucifer sighed.
"You can't change my mind, Gabrielle. This is my own way of protecting you"said Lucifer and Gabrielle rolled her eyes as something clicked in her thoughts.
"What about Nathan, my best friend?"she asked and Lucifer growled.
"He is reincarnated too. He is Noel"Lucifer said and her eyes widened. That only means the past was bound to repeat soon.
"It's happening soon so just stick with me. It will be less severe as we'll only have to deal with your enemies not mine. That's why I wouldn't mark you even if it takes forever to end them"Lucifer said with determination and a mischievous glint flashed across Gabrielle's face.
"We can still mate, right?"Gabrielle asked and Lucifer stiffened.
"Don't you dare. We ain't doing any of it"Lucifer gritted out and Gabrielle chuckled as she stood up from his laps she moved backwards with her eyes never leaving his.
In a swift movement, she stripped off her clothes slowly teasing him and she watched how his pupils dilated.
"Let's see how much self restraint you have,Mr. Lucifer" she said as she pulled off the last clothing on her which was her lacy pants.
Lucifer gulped down and clenched his fists in frustration. This lady was a born temptress and he had no will power over her seduction. He stood up and took dangerous strides towards her.
"You shouldn't toy with fire, baby"he whispered huskily and she squirmed as she trailed her fingers on his chest.
"What if I want to get burnt,daddy?"she whispered back naughtily and Lucifer pulled her closer.
"Then who am I to reject your offer?"Lucifer said as he teleported them to his room in the mansion
There was no way he was going to have his first time with her in her father's palace. He would do it in his own place and way.
Gabrielle felt their change in surroundings and looked around only to realize they were in the mansion.
"There's no backing out now"Lucifer said as he slammed his lips on hers.
His hands ran through her curves as he felt the smoothness of her skin. Gabrielle moaned into the kiss as she ripped off his shirt.
Lucifer trailed kisses down her neck and Gabrielle ran her hands through his hair.
"Those lips are doing wonders, daddy"Gabrielle moaned out and Lucifer growled in response to her naughty words.
He pushed her to the bed as he hurriedly connected his lips to her nipples and Gabrielle gripped the sheets tightly. She was making a mini pool down there.
Lucifer moved his hands towards her folds feeling how wet she is as he sniffed her arousal in the air.
"You are fucking wet, amaryllis"Lucifer said and Gabrielle rolled her eyes in pleasure.
He unbuckled his belts releasing his huge monster as he stared at her eyes to see any restraints but all he saw was lust.
"No time for much foreplay"he muttered as he plunged in and Gabrielle screamed digging her fingers into his skin as tears escaped her eyes.
Lucifer's eyes widened as he sniffed the scent of blood and he moved his hands to where they were connected. He touched blood and turned to look at her with admiration.
"You are really pure?"he asked in astonishment and Gabrielle opened her eyes as she raised an eyebrow.
"You never caught me fucking anyone, did you?" she asked and Lucifer smiled trailing kisses on her neck.
"Thank you for keeping yourself"he said as he began moving and Gabrielle held tight onto him.
Now that he thought about it, he only saw her kissing men. He never saw her get more intimate than that. He feel so guilty to have wronged her but he will make it up to her forever.
Gabrielle swam in the world of passion. This was what she always wanted, to be bonded to her mate in one way. Doing this with him made her have peace even if she died now, she had no regrets.
It doesn't matter if he marked her or not.
Unknown to her, doom already befell her back home.

Aaron paced to and fro in his room. His hair looked disheveled and he looked like he was expecting someone.
Suddenly a masked man in black appeared behind him and he turned to him with a sad smile.
"I have been expecting you"Aaron said and the man chuckled.
"More like expecting your death"the man replied as he drew his sword expecting Aaron to also bring out a weapon or try to fight back but Aaron stood still with his eyes closed.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"he asked Aaron and Aaron smiled as he opened his eyes.
"I fought so many battles in my life but I think it's time to stand back and be a loser for once"he said and the man sneered.
"Say "hello" to Lora in heaven"the man said as he slit Aaron's neck and Aaron fell to the floor as blood ooze out of his neck.
"You will meet your doom soon. My daughter's mate wouldn't spare any of you"Aaron said and the man scoffed.
"That's if you are alive to tell him about me"the man said before disappearing into the darkness.
"Lucifer, it's up to you to protect my Gabrielle now"Aaron said as he breathed his last.
His time was up and death had come.
His last wish was the destruction of his daughter's enemies and the betterment of his daughter's relationship with her mate.
To him, Lucifer is the only way out. UE is the only one who can save his daughter and his clan against the plot of the evil ones.
His trust lies in Lucifer!
