Derek's consciousness had been wandering inside his mind for what felt like an eternity. He had lost all sense of time, and his thoughts were a jumbled mess of memories and emotions. But then, suddenly, he heard a voice.
"Hello, Derek," the voice said. "My name is Lucifer."
Derek's consciousness spun around, trying to locate the source of the voice. But there was nothing to see.
"Who are you?" Derek asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
"I am the one who can give you what you desire most," Lucifer replied. "But first, you must tell me what that is."
Derek hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. But then, a surge of anger and hatred welled up inside him.
"I want to make the entire supernatural world pay for killing me," Derek spat. "I want to destroy them all."
Lucifer chuckled, a low, menacing sound. "I can give you the power to do that," he said. "But it will come at a cost."
"What do you want from me?" Derek asked, wary.
"I want control over your body," Lucifer replied. "Complete control. You will do my bidding, and I will give you the power to destroy your enemies."
Derek hesitated, unsure of what to do. But then, he had an idea.
"I'll give you half control," Derek said. "But I'll keep the other half."
Lucifer laughed again, the sound sending shivers down Derek's spine.
"You drive a hard bargain, Derek," Lucifer said. "But I accept your terms. Half control it is."
As Derek and Lucifer finalized their deal, a grand ceremony was taking place outside the alpha king's palace. Coleen and Lika were getting married, surrounded by the cream of supernatural society.
The bride looked stunning in a white wedding dress, her hair styled perfectly and her makeup flawless. The groom, Coleen, looked equally dashing in his tailored tuxedo.
As the ceremony progressed, Lika couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. She had accused Derek of murder, and now he was dead. But she pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on her new husband and their future together.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiating priest declared, beaming at the happy couple. "You may kiss the bride."
Coleen lifted Lika's veil and kissed her passionately, the crowd erupting into cheers and applause.
As the reception got underway, Lika's father, the alpha king, stood up to give a toast.
"To my dear daughter and her new husband," he said, his voice booming across the hall. "May your union be blessed with happiness, prosperity, and many children."
The crowd cheered and clapped again, as Lika and Coleen shared a romantic dance.
As the marriage ceremony came to a close, a coronation ceremony was held, declaring Coleen and Lika the new rulers of the supernatural kingdom.
The alpha king stepped forward, a regal crown in his hands. "By the power vested in me, I crown you, Coleen and Lika, the new king and queen of our supernatural realm."
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Coleen and Lika exchanged vows, promising to rule with wisdom and justice.
As they finished their vows, Coleen turned to Lika and marked her with a gentle bite on the neck. Lika gasped, her eyes fluttering closed as she felt the rush of their bond.
"I claim you as mine," Coleen whispered, his voice husky with desire.
Lika's eyes snapped open, and she smiled, her fangs bared. "I claim you as mine," she echoed, marking Coleen with a bite on the neck.
The crowd cheered and chanted, "Long live the king and queen!" as Coleen and Lika shared a passionate kiss.
The alpha king smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "May your union be strong and fruitful," he said, placing the crown on Coleen's head.
As the ceremony came to a close, Lika's father handed Coleen a small, ornate box. "A gift for my new son-in-law," he said, his voice dripping with sincerity.
Coleen opened the box, revealing a golden amulet adorned with precious gems. "It's beautiful," he said, his eyes widening in surprise.
"It's said to hold great power," the alpha king said, his eyes glinting with a hint of warning. "Use it wisely."
As Coleen put on the amulet, Lika smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "We're going to rule this kingdom together," she whispered, her voice full of excitement.
Coleen grinned, his eyes burning with ambition. "We're going to make our mark on this world," he said, his voice dripping with confidence.
