Rejecting The Vampire Lord

Everything was happening too fast yet too slow and I felt time stopped the moment I realised that Lucy will always choose Austin no matter what the situation is, because he is her fated mate and no matter what I do I will never be able to make her fall in love with me. I saw them hugging each other in contentment as they had found each other after a long time. It was like everything was happening in slow motion around me. I smiled, looking at her face. I will never forget the kindness she showed me, even when I treated her badly. I took a deep shaky breath as I closed my eyes and a sad smile appeared on my face. I shudder to hold the knife tightly in my hand. A scream from a little boy made me open my eyes and when my gaze fell on the little boy who looked like one of our kind and was crying sitting on the ground and a will was hovering over him, I decided what I needed to do. I didn't want any kids to suffer as I did when I was a child. I looked at Lucy for one last time and lifted the blade to my chest and drove it inside as a lone tear rolled down from my eyes. I closed my eyes again, letting the darkness consume me and my thoughts. The pain of a broken heart was so intense that I didn't feel the burning sensation of the dagger in my chest. " Lucifer!!" I heard my name. " Lucifer!!!" Then I heard it again. Luckily, she was screaming my name at the top of her lungs. I wanted to open my eyes to see her again, but I couldn't, as I was slipping into the void of nothingness. "No… Lucifer," she screamed my name again, her voice filled with sorrow and agony about losing someone. I wanted nothing at that moment but to see her if she was in pain because of me. " Finally, I am free from it. Finally, everything has come to an end," I mumbled to myself, feeling I was lifted in the air. " I finished everything that you started. I wish I hadn't been born like your son," I cursed my father and that was the last thing I remembered before darkness consumed me wholly. I groaned from the throbbing pain in my head as I woke up in the darkness. " What?" I mumbled loudly, feeling confused. I was supposed to be dead. " You are dead," a female voice from behind me said in a melodic voice. " Fu.ck," I cursed and stood up from what felt like the ground. I turned around to look at the source of the voice and my gaze fell on a beautiful lady who was sitting on a chair and looking at me like I had stolen something from her. " Who are you?" I asked. " Why am I even here?" I asked her again. " What is this place?" "For a dead person you do ask a lot," she said, from her expression she looked bored with my presence there. " Yeah, I am bored but not that you are here, but that is what is coming after this," she said, making me confused. " What are you- my words were cut off by another voice but it sounded calmer to me. " Hello Lucifer," she said. I tilted my head to my left to see a woman with silver hair coming towards us gracefully. For some reason, she looked familiar to me. I tried to remember where I had seen her and then it hit me. A scowl made its way onto my face when I remembered she was Selene, the goddess of the werewolf. I saw her when my father used to take me to the lake where she, the white witch and Austin's mother used to meet. "Oh, he knows a lot," the first one said with a chuckle. " Stay out of my head," I said with a growl. " oh, I am Eos. Her sister," she introduced herself as she pointed at Selena, her sister using her index finger. " I don't care who you are. Tell me why I was here when I was supposed to be dead," I demanded, looking at Selene. She somehow looked guilty as she stared at me. " Lucifer, my child," she started, but I cut her off. I knew something was wrong with that look of hers. " I am not your child," I said, anger evident in my voice. When I thought everything had come to an end, my miseries, my sufferings, a life without my soul mate. But then I ended up here. " Let me tell him," Eos said. " Tell me what?" I asked. " We have an offer for you. Where you can choose to go back and enjoy your life with your mate or you can do whatever you want staying here," she said. I looked at her, raising my eyebrows. "What she meant was, This time you have a mate waiting for you there if you go back," Selene said, clearing up my confusion. " I gave up on the very idea of having a mate," I said. " You have to go or else she won't be able to spend her life with her mate," eos reasoned with me. "Don't say this sh. it now," I said, glaring at her. Before I could ask Selene what was going on there, Eos snapped her fingers and there was smoke coming out of nowhere. Then I saw a girl appear on that screen of smoke. I stared at her, as she was smiling brightly. She looked no more than 16 years old. My breath caught up in my throat as she made eye contact with me unknowingly for a moment. " What is going on here?" I asked. I heard both of them sigh as the smoke started to fade away. " We made a mistake at the same time," eos said. I didn't turn to her, instead, I stood there looking at Selene. I don't want to listen to whatever one has to say. I saw her sigh before saying, " When I paired Layla with her mate, eos paired her with you unknowingly." "What the f**k?" I yelled. They are the goddess and how could they make this kind of mistake? How could they not know anything beforehand? And why didn't they fix everything and let things happen that had happened? " How?" This was the only thing that came out of my mouth out of hundreds of thoughts. " I wanted to fix everything but Layla was her descendant and… and… she trailed off glaring at Eos. " After she died, that made Eos upset. I had to step in and save her. And you can do the aftermath," Selene said, looking guilty. " How could a f*****g goddess make such a great mistake?" I growled at her. I could feel the beast coming out of me. All I was seeing now was red, he was thirsty for blood. The mistake they made for their descendants paid off with five lives. I let my beast leash out and had his full, but before I could reach one of them, everything disappeared in front of my eyes and again I, faded into the darkness, but before everything faded away, I heard, " I am truly sorry, Lucifer. This life I am giving you for the pain and suffering you have faced. I hope you will cherish her, she is special and the only one that can handle your beast," Selene said. " You will wake up and someone will help you with everything. We will meet again," she added, and I felt my body going limp.
