Chapter 29
ZION
It made no sense hiding it from her anymore. Before I knew the truth, I thought defending her would seem weird especially since she was a total stranger. It would have made more sense if I went along with their ridiculous joke instead of defending her. But now we both knew why I had that impulse. That stupid prophecy created a bond between us before we could even meet.
She ran after me, well ran as much as she could considering her injured leg. I purposely slowed my pace so she could catch up. Even though I hated to admit it, I still willingly cared for her. The part of me that was good cared for all mortals, especially weak injured ones. That obviously came from my mother.
"What do you mean that was your first warning, what did he do?" She asked, confusion lacing her tone.
Shrugging a shoulder, I kicked the pebbles with my boot, "Is it really important what he did? I gave him a warni

ZION Things were slightly better between Alina and me. We still weren't talking to one another in school but we were civilized, greeting each other whenever we saw each other. We pretended as if whatever happened yesterday never happened. No one needed to know what went on between us or what almost happened to her. However, we had to disclose this to the teachers and principal who handled this as quietly as possible. Turned out, the school had a working security cam pointing toward the bleachers which recorded everything.I just hoped no one watched that camera footage every day because then they would have seen what happened between me and that Megan girl.Brady was expelled with immediate effect and I was given a warning. The principal didn't want to issue me with a suspension because I was basically considered a hero. They reprimanded us from skipping school after the incident but after Alina

ZION"Oh look at you, so handsome. When did get all grown up?" my mother dramatically sighed, pretending to wipe a tear from her eye. She stood on the tips of her toes to ruffle my hair but she still couldn't reach, my height towering over her. With a pouty face, she called my father who happily carried her to perform the action."Mom, you're too much!" I groaned, lightly slapping her hand away."Let your mother enjoy this moment son. She never thought she would see it coming," my dad chuckled, kissing his beautiful wife on the cheek.She gave him a pointed glare, "It's not like you saw it coming to so don't get too smart dear husband."Holding his hands up in a surrendering motion, my dad mumbled, "Okay, okay. Jeez, woman!""If you two are done being weird can I get going. I don't want to be late," I placed the Batman mask over my head and awkwardly stared at them. I still couldn't believe that I would be attending the dance. Alina and I had picked out the costumes a few days ago and

ALINA Somehow, we always found our way to the lake. Or at least Zion always found his way to the lake. I realized that he found solace in its quietness. Peace in its tranquility. The clear water of the lake reflected the black stary sky, rippling ever so slightly with the harsh gust of wind that disturbed its peace. The wind ruffled the leaves of the tall trees that lined the area, hiding us from the world. My eyes watched the full silver moon that glistened brightly in the sky. A shiver racked my body, the weather becoming colder as we approached winter.I sat on the pebbles that covered the shore, Zion next to me. He had changed from his costume to a pair of jeans and a T-shirt that he had in his trunk. His car had so many different things stashed in the trunk that it wouldn't surprise me if he pulled out a mini fridge anymore. He had even made me change into a pair of sweats and one of his T-shirts that hugged my figur

ZION "That was amazing! So damn amazing! Like damn!" Alina gushed as we landed onto the ground, "Thank you for that and for not dropping me." She grabbed the shirt that had fallen during our heated kiss and adorned it. The flimsy material shaped her perfectly, hugging her curves.It took everything in me not to look at her, not to ogle at her voluptuous breasts or go further than just kiss her. One night, I just had one night of this before everything would go back to normality tomorrow and she would go back to wanting a platonic relationship with me."I'd never let you fall Angel face," I cooed, pressing a lingering kiss to her cheeks which instantly heated.Her skin flushed and she let out a nervous laugh, "We should really be heading back. It should be close to midnight and I don't want to get into trouble." She said, running her fingers through her disheveled hair. Each time her finge
Zion Chapter 34
ZIONI watched the dagger soar through the air, barely grazing my arm as it flew pass me. Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion; Alina asking me to run and get out of here, me watching every rotation the dagger did before hitting its intended victim, the way the dagger finally pierced Lucifer in the abdomen, the way he fell to his knees with his mouth open and eyes wide but no sound emanating from him. It all felt so strange.Alina held my shoulders firmly and began shaking me back to reality, the chaos of the situation finally settling into my brain. I glared at her but she didn't seem fazed. The panicked expression on her face becoming more and more distressing."Zion, snap out of it," she chided, "you have to get out of here. Get home and protect your family. Do you understand me, go!" She shoved me away and when I just stood there, eyes still glaring at her, she resorted to yelling, "Zion! Go, now! That won't hold him forever. It will hurt him but not kill him since
Zion Chapter 35
ZIONI steered clear of Alina for the next couple of weeks as much as I could. I didn't want to make things awkward again so we still hung out together with our group of friends but I never gave Alina the chance to catch me alone. I really wasn't ready to have a full discussion with her about everything that happened.That Monday, Alina drove my car to school whereas I just flew there. The feeling of allowing my wings to breath was sensational, it was definitely something I could have gotten used to if I were actually allowed to do it. I landed in the forest bordering the school, made sure my wings were gone before shrugging on a shirt and continuing with my day as a normal everyday teenager.The rest of the week I used my car. Rumors spread around school that Alina and I had suddenly become a couple after she turned up in my car that Monday but they died down as soon as they started. The new rumors that r
Zion Chapter 36
ZIONI chose to go to sleep because I just wasn't ready to face Alina. I wasn't sure if I could get past the fact that she just happened to be the daughter of Lucifer. No matter how much I tried, the thought just lingered in my mind like a persistent little mosquito that refused to leave me alone. I hated it. Every single part of it. Unlike the angels that took away her wings, I didn't think of her as an abomination. It would have been better if she were either a full angel or fully human but unfortunately luck was never on my side.I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. She did save my life that night. He expected her to be the killer he trained but her human side wouldn't allow it. She felt emotions on a human level. The bond between us also played its part. Really thinking about it, our fate reminded me very much so of something out of a fantasy werewolf novel. A soulmate, a mate bond, the sexual attraction, and chemistr
Zion Chapter 37
ZION Tonight had to be the most awkward night of my entire existance. Everyone sat around the dinner table and I made sure that Alina sat beside me. I had my hand placed on her thigh the entire time, enjoying the sensation that coursed through us with the skin to skin contact. The entire time, every person seated there watched me with cautious eyes, almost as if I would lose my shit any second.I tried my very best to stay calm but I felt like a mortal teenager who couldn't control his hormones. My jaw hurt from how hard I had been clenching it the entire night. With every breath I took, her sweet intoxicating scent flooded my nostrils. I felt like banging my head against a wall until I passed out. Suffering from a concussion sounded much better than doing this.No one mentioned the elephant in the room and by that, I meant no one mentioned what happened outside. My mother was disheartened that my father
