-Lucifer-
Pain like no other, like torture was the only way to describe how he felt looking at the beauty that was curled up whimpering into his chest. Yet it wouldn't even compare to the pain that riddled her body. He hated how the happy angel was now withering in pain whilst in his arms. He was meant to save her, rid her from any pain yet minna still laid in his arms crying.
Tears that sparkled like crystals sliding down her cheek. It felt like they were scratching his heart as they fell leaving him wounded along side her.
It was a struggle to think of anything else but her and what she was being put through. If her parents had just taught her everything then maybe he wouldn't have had to wait.. Maybe she would have been ready without needing to go through this pain.. But the universe was against him, wanting to see and hear his suffering.
Lucifer would always put minna first no matter what, but that also meant finding out about that young demon kid. If something was wrong then that had a chance at affecting his mate, his wife, his queen.
Hera hadn't been able to have kids for a long time, since she was young and in her prime. But within the years that she was in her prime the angel made a name for herself, mostly from not saving herself for her mate like all the angels were taught to do. So Hera had visited one of the well known witches that practiced black magic meaning that they could stop unwanted pregnancy's from happening. But at a cost.
She had been warned by the witch that the spell cast could threaten her fertility, the after effects making her body unable to produce anymore children. But nobody at the time could have been sure that it would happen.
The magic messed up her insides all because of her selfishness for her own pleasure. Not saving once self was frowned apone in heaven so having a child that wasn't with her mate would have made her an outcast. So clearly something else had been used to create the young demon. Hera's body was unable to hold a child so that only left them with one explanation. Experiments had been used.
It didn't matter how.. Demons were still used. And that is where lucifer rage came in. Someone had used his own for experiments.
A deep growl vibrated from inside his chest as he opened the link between himself and donato, "experiments.. They experimented on one of our own" No demon was to be tested on by angels so only fellow demons could know the weaknesses. How was he to keep his sanity and crown if he couldn't stop the angels?
A strong burst of anger flared through his system while he waited for donato reply. Lucifer pulled Minna closer to him before gently taking her face into one of his palms then pressing kisses over the other side of her face starting with the forehead then traveling down until his lips landed on hers. The touch alone soothed him loving the feeling of her against himself. That was until a melodious laugh stumbled out of his precious mate, drawing him into a daze like some drugs do. But this was a drug he'd happily take without a second thought.
Donato pulled him out of his trace. "we'll question Hera.. And the baby will be at your room soon. It still won't calm" the information only made the devil King sigh before cutting off their link. He'd have to tell minna about the young demon and put some clothes on. Though lucifer hated that thought. He would have preferred to hold minna like this for the rest of his existence.
With the decision being the toughest he decided to memorise the way their bodies perfectly fitted together and the calm bubble that surrounded them. The feeling of her against himself was like having cold kisses littered all over his body. A beautiful blissful pleasure.
With the mixture of her cold and his heat it was surprising the room hadn't filled with steam, but lucifer knew that his heat was slowly melting away her cold so soon she'd feel the warmth.
"little one.. Can we talk?"
"you don't have to ask louie"
The spell of happiness flowing through his veins just by the sound of her voice. Minna sounded ethereal even with the bit of strain from the pain that bubbled inside her in the form of a fever. Though instead of her body warming from the fever it did the opposite allowing her body's temperature to rapidly decrease only staying stable from his heat.
"the young demon was made from an experiment.." lucifer now cupped both of her cheeks within his palms, keeping contact with both their eyes, he stared into her milky green ones like they were the last thing he'd ever want to see. "the boy won't settle, but he did with you. So until we find another way-if your okay with it.. Could you look after him"
Minna put their foreheads together smiling whilst allowing lucifer to continue. "whether the child is more angel or demon remains a mystery for the time being but with how it calmed with you my love, i was guess more angel."
He could feel her nod against his forehead with her eyes glossing over, the thought of experiments a sensitive topic. "why.. Why on a child, a pure soul?!" she couldn't wrap her head around how someone could be so cruel, so sick to hurt a pure soul that had never wronged them.
Offering her a little comfort lucifer stroked his thumb against her cheek. "you need to put on clothes little one, they'll be here soon" this left minna pouting, shoving her head in his neck allowing her lips to be felt against the base of his throat. Obviously not enjoying the idea of leaving the comfortable position that they were in.
Normally lucifer wouldn't have minded if she didn't want to get dressed, actually he would prefer it so he could admire ever part of her but not when their were others to see or even when she was as in as much pain. He would love to look and appreciate every part of minna from her head to her cute toes.
"luci! I don't want too" the words coming out muffled against his skin which sent shivers down his spine but she sounded like a toddler throwing a tantrum, making the devil King chuckle. The nickname hit him a few minutes after making a small blush appear in his cheek bones. Whether the new name was a mistake or not it made his heart flutter against his chest.
"little one, your mine to see and love.. Therefore .clothes. now." his tone was stern, which he regretted using not wanting to upset the beauty in his arms so he tried to apologise but when minna lifted her head he saw the small blush running across her cheeks.
Surprise hit him not expecting his mate to like being bossed around but obviously he had thought wrong.
"okay.. Ill put some on" the little angel mumbled before starting to pull some clothes on.
Instead of sitting there and watching her, looking at the skin that was always hidden behind her clothes he stood up deciding it would be best for him to put clothes on as well and that if he continued to look at her it'd make minna uncomfortable. That was something he didn't want, he wanted her to feel beautiful nothing less than.
Deep down he thought of looking at her while she was sick and weak to be taking advantage of her.. It was a lack of self control on his part so he held back.
In no time Minna was fully clothed in a pale dress, which just added to the temptation. She wrapped her arms around his torso from the back, enjoying the sparks that followed before lucifer was able to pull a shirt on. He allowed minna's hands to slide around his abs, her nails scratching in places. It was enough to drive him mad and have a groan being held at the back of his throat.
His mate was clearly being clingy, maybe more than usual but that was probably due to his touch being able to dull the pain she was feeling. Not that lucifer minded her using him for that, she could use him for anything and he'd comply without question unless it brought harm to her.
She only mattered.
One thing that he hadn't said enough was how stunning she was no matter if she had just woken up or if it was half way through the day, so he turned around still allowing her arms to cage him "you're beautiful Minna" the brighten look on her face was enough to have him saying it every minute from that moment on.
On his to do list. Everyday.
The twinkle in her eye and soft blush running over her cheeks was the best view. Lucifer would be dammed if he allowed anyone else to see her with those red cheeks but he wanted everyone to see that twinkle in her eye that would have them all cooing.
Three knocks sounded at the door leaving him groaning loudly and the angel wrapped around him giggling at the action. Her chest vibrated against him almost pulling a pur out of him but he was able to stop his demons just before.
Minna opened the door squealing at the cute sight of the young demon wrapped up in the finest cloth whilst in the arms of a large demon warrior. Lucifer found it almost amusing how annoyed the demon looked until it saw the bright smile on the queen's face. The angel soon had the bundle of trouble in her arms, walking back to the bed rocking gently so the baby could drift off.
All while lucifer was watching between her and the warrior standing at the door with heart eyes. The sweet smell of his mate was escaping the room meaning there was less for him to drowned in so without another thought he slammed the door shut.
That was his to smell.
Just as he was about to go to his mate to cuddle the mind link opened again.
Dammit.
"it was an experiment my king.. Hera had a witch experiment on a demon with angel blood.. The demons dead but the young survived" at Donato message a new anger was found within the devil King.
"have the witch found and killed. I want war with heaven"
