I arrived home walking to my room. I didn't need to shower or unwind. Mainly because I already had the opportunity to do so 30 minutes ago. The guys are out which meant that it was just me alone. I poured myself a glass of wine and turned on some soft music. I didn't really want to do much. Just relax and enjoy the time I have alone. It's so nice to feel this way. It's just that I felt as though I should be living in my own home. Maybe a small apartment of some sort. I don't really know.

I do know that Lucifer would not like the idea of that. I don't know why I always think about what he likes or doesn't like before I do it. It's annoying, it's like I'm still a caged bird. I sigh, getting up from the couch and turning the music off. I walk to my room and get into bed. I take out my laptop and begin to study for my exam.

Lucifer's POV.
The girls were having their spa night out. We as guys were more into getting a nice drink. We didn't leave the castle, we were in the den having small talk about everything. I sipped on my Johnny walker, taking in the strong and rich flavor. Which stung when it went down. I sighed , leaning back into my chair. I was present but my mind was stuck on Autumn. For last few weeks she had been going to Alum dresses like that, which means that I would have to accompany her again.
I'm in love with this young woman. Though I may not have made it known. I love her. I wouldn't have waited so long for her to incarnate into her beautiful body. I sighed again. "So are you excited to get married to Rose?" Frank asked, shuffling around the books on the shelves. He had taken it upon himself to reorder the books from the year and author. I didn't care too much. He had his weird ways and so does everyone else.
"I'm beyond excited, I enjoy being around her. She's my best friend and my beautiful mate. I couldn't have asked for a much more amazing woman." He stated. I felt myself tense, I knew that I hurt her. I knew she heard me and the girl having sex, she saw a lot. Which meant that in some ways she may deny my the access that I already didn't have. Which may make it hard to engage to her.
I rubbed my eyes brow. "You okay Lucifer?" Dimitri asked. I nodded. "Yeah." Taking another sip of my drink. "So when are you gonna get married to Scarlet?" Bael asked taking a sip of his drink and leaning back into the seat. I laughed to myself. "This is gonna be interesting." I said softly. " I'll get married after Lucifer ties the knot with Autumn." He replied with a sly smile on his face. Mine was already gone.

This was a very stressful topic to me. The idea of marriage is good but the courage to actually get down on your knees and ask the question is what gets me. I'm a different sort of guy, maybe I'm just not used to the monogamous aspect of relationships. The only ones I've ever had was friends with benefits. That's about it. I've never looked at those girls as they type I would want to be with. They were just walking bags of  energy. Autumn is different.

"You may not want to do that or you'll end up waiting for a long time." My brother replied. They had it in their head that I wouldn't be able to marry Autumn or follow through with a wedding. They saw me as who I am, the king of the underworld. But never as a loving and charming guy who would get down on his knees and ask for her hand in marriage. I don't blame them for thinking that. It did make me annoyed though.

"Autumn's probably gonna hook up with Alum's hot friend from that boat ride you both went on." Dimitri said. He knew what she was thinking at all times. So I couldn't discredit what he was saying at all. I was very curious to know if it was the guy I had met on the boat, he kept eyeing her down. She was in her own world, so much so that she hadn't even noticed him. Not only him but the other men who were thinking about her and all the ways they would do her.

I don't reply, instead I got up from my chair and left the room. I was getting flashes of her an Alaric. I couldn't stand the idea of her ever being with another guy. I know she did it out of spite, so I can't get upset. But it's just that I cannot think about another man coming into her life again and giving her the pleasure I'm supposed to give. I walked into my office and slammed the door locking it. I walk to my desk taking a seat. I bury myself into my work.
End of P.O.V

Autumn's P.O.V
I arrived at the castle, the thing about Rose is that she didn't have to go out to a store or boutique to get her dress. She had her own seamstress, who handmade her dress and the bridesmaids dresses too. She wanted to do it with a soft pinky peach color. Each bridesmaid would have a dress designed specifically for them, in the style unique to them.

Lucifer's brother let me in. It seemed as if the guys were having their own little tuxedo fitting in the next room. I walked past, sensing Lucifer's energy. I didn't look in the room. I sort of just kept my attention on the hall ahead of me. I arrived to the girls room and walk in closing the door behind me. I say nothing at all, I just join in on the drinking. I sit on the couch at the far corner by the window. The weird thing about the castle is the fact that there's a small of wall made of glass. Which meant I could get a small glimpse of Lucifer and the guys. I moved my attention from him to the actual fitting.
"Autumn I have the perfect and cutest dress for you." Rose said walking over to me with a pink poofy dress, it reminded me of a flower. One that I would like to smell and not wear. I didn't think it was awful, but I was trying to look more like I was 20 and not tea part ready. I didn't refuse, it was her big day. I do what she wants. I walk into the small dressing room and change into the dress. I walk out of the room and everyone gasped. "It's beautiful." They all said at the same time. It was like a glitch in the matrix. I laughed to myself and shook my head.

The wedding was basically tomorrow and all of this is basically last minute. They already had the other castle set up and everything was together this was the last thing that needed to be done. I grab another glass of champagne . We all toast to a beautiful day and Rose having a successful and amazing wedding. Everyone was in their dresses, but I believe I was the only person who didn't need it to be tailored to my body. I walk over to the window looking out at the thick strip of forest greenery. The sky was a blue shade of grey. It was about 5pm which explained it. It was also gonna storm tonight.

I turned to see Lucifer staring at me from the other room. He had this strange look on his face. It's so weird, I've never seen him so serious. Never that serious, his eyes were dark. He shifted his attention to someone else. Taking a sip of his drink. He was in a very nice tucks. There were two large clips in his shoulder, one at his back and two begin his leg. It was to help the tailor make the right adjustment in his suit size.

I shifted my attention back to the girls.
