Lucifer hadn't been kidding when he had said time flew by quickly. Faelon was feeling devastated as the last week was slowly ticking away. Atlas hadn't been able to locate Gian but Lucifer had reassured Faelon that he was safe and thriving wherever he was. "What are your plans for the day?" Phil asked as he poured himself some coffee before preparing to go to work. Faelon shrugged and slid his face into his hands."I just feel like I'm going to lose everything that I hold dear. Tell me, Phil, do you miss your wings? Does it suck being earthbound?" He asked curiously. Phil grinned slightly and took a sip as he thought."Not really. I've been on Earth for hundreds of years just moving across the continents. I guess I am used to it. So no it doesn't bother me very much," he said truthfully. Faelon leaned back pondering the thought of telling Lucifer that he could take his wings in exchange for the contract. Phil was shaking his head."He will take your head and Sophia's life, you are bet
Heading outside, Atlas spied Faelon on the side of the brick building."Hey left hand, I'm shopping with Sophia. Maybe you can join us for dinner tonight?" Atlas offered. Faelon looked quizzical at him."I am here to observe you collecting souls and don't want to interfere with you and your female," Faelon replied bitterly. "Did Lucifer send you when you woke?" Atlas questioned curiously. "No, I woke up in my home and remembered what task he had assigned me and the location of this shitty town," he replied rudely. Cursing colorfully, Atlas side-eyed Faelon and frowned."Sophia Parks isn't my female. She is a newly turned hybrid vamp that needs guidance so Phil and I are helping her. Um, stay here I have to pay for the groceries and will be back in a moment," he mumbled candidly and rushed off. Faelon was fuming and crossed his arms as he watched the reaper go back inside the establishment. He knew the male was called Atlas and felt that they were close acquaintances which was odd si
Frustrated with both of them, Atlas used his hands to express that they both were in a loving relationship. He avoided mentioning Gian for fear they wouldn't believe him. Explaining everything that had happened to the couple in great detail, he was sure to include the things Lucifer had done. Atlas stressed to Faelon that he had screwed him over big-time. Faelon kept shaking his head with a frown on his face."I cannot have a mate, why would I have one now after so many years as it is FORBIDDEN!" he snarled. Sophia was looking at him and shuddered over his venomous disposition. Thankfully Phil had arrived and knocked before entering. Eyeing Faelon, Sophia's lips curled as an idea came to her. Jumping from the couch, Sophia flung herself onto Phil, giving him a tight hug with her legs wrapped around his midsection. She proceeded to kiss him on his cheek. "Wow, it's nice to see you again too, Sophia," Phil said with a wide grin. He was holding her up and staring intently at her. Hearin
"Do you have paper and a pen? I feel finding my replacement is a wise way to appease the devil and need to write down possible candidates," Faelon stated as he hugged Sophia."Shouldn't we find our child first?" She questioned sadly. "If we do that Lucifer would just take him again. If he is safe where he is, it is smarter to leave him there for now," he replied bitterly. Pulling on his hand, Sophia suggested that they go speak with Phil. Salis had returned to Lucifer and the devil glanced at him with narrowed eyes."Has he vanished again?" Lucifer inquired and Salis nodded. Resting his face into his hands, Lucifer wished Michael was there to speak with."You did tamper with the terms of the contract you had him sign, boss. Perhaps you should work with Faelon's desires instead of against them. He's much too stubborn to follow your rules," Salis stated bluntly."He also carries virtuous qualities and would sacrifice himself for his mate and child, he has proven that much already," Lu
Inhaling sharply, Salis paused outside the devil's office door to collect his thoughts and mask his deception. He was mildly concerned about Faelon locating his son. The child wouldn't have a clue who his father was and would want to remain where he was. The child's adopted family would be easy to locate but without a first name more difficult. Salis cursed himself for giving Faelon, Gian's new last name. He hadn't realized that they were a royal descendant. Hearing a shout to enter, Salis opened the door and put on his stoic look."You are far too quick with your work, right hand. Yet no child's soul has graced my soul river," Lucifer grunted bitterly. Nodding his head, Salis sat down before his master and tilted his head."The boy is much like his father and after I slit his throat grew frantic. He ended up frying his own heart with his hellfire. His soul rushed off from the reaper that had appeared to collect it. It was insanity, boss," Salis stated assuredly. Rubbing his hands vig
Feeling her anger, Faelon sighed at the look Sophia was giving him."I'm going to go visit some Alphas that I know in Northern Russia to see if they're familiar with Ivan Baranov. I will leave when the sun sets for the time difference. You should get a hold of Phil to see what documents he wishes to show you as I'm certain Otis's corpse has been discovered by now," he said softly to Sophia."I can take you over to the hotel. I'm sure Phil is staying there in one of the rooms," Atlas interjected, causing Faelon to mumble his thanks. Sophia nodded but insisted that she shower and change first and headed to the bathroom. Once the door shut to the bathroom, Atlas side-eyed Faelon."What are you planning?" He asked curiously. Shaking his head, Faelon frowned."I'm thinking about leaving my son with Ivan but first I want to know if he is a good and decent fellow. Since Gian has a wolf, he's better off being with others of his kind," he said sullenly. Shocked by that, Atlas simply nodded."I
Sophia appeared in the middle of her home and turned to look for her mate. Once seeing him standing in her kitchen she rushed into his arms and began talking rapidly. Faelon placed his jewelry box down on the table as she approached him in a frantic state."Let's go to Russia and find our son right now!" She snapped and Faelon eyed Atlas who was answering his cell phone that began ringing. Looking into her frightened eyes, Faelon asked what was going on."Demons and pictures of me with a bloody knife holding Randall's decapitated head," she muttered worriedly. Her fingers were clasped around a tan folder. Furrowing his brow, Faelon hugged her to his chest and told her to calm herself."I took the pictures with the file," Sophia muttered sourly with the folder pressed against her and Faelon's chest."Nothing is going to happen to you that I can and will promise you," Faelon stated assuredly and glanced yet again at Atlas. The reaper pointed down at Sophia's feet where the photographs ha
Walking into the stunning living room Sophia was passing by a large mirror hanging on the wall and paused. Turning to face herself, she frowned as her fingers touched the puckered scar tissue on her face. It was less than it had been but still noticeable to her keen eyes and she frowned."I'm still a hideous monster," she mumbled sadly. Faelon went to stand behind her and rested his chin on her shoulder."You are very beautiful, Sophia. I can see you beyond that which is visible on the outside," he said sincerely and pecked her cheek. Side-eyeing him she grinned."You make me feel lovely with your kind words," she sighed and kissed him lightly on the lips. A man was sitting on the couch in the room that they had not noticed making an annoyed grunt sound."The unattainable Faelon is frolicking with a female, remarkable," he said firmly. Sophia watched Faelon grin and turn to his side."Why are you being a creep, Adrian?" He questioned. Peeking behind Faelon, Sophia's eyes widened at th
