Dr. Luna
The Vampires Promised Bride Chapter 47

Wyatt and the other two men walked a short ways down the hall where Lee was standing with Derek. A only to land into a concrete chest.

"Nice try." Titus chuckled and gripped onto him roughly as Derek shoved back on him angrily. "What are you doing?! Let me go. She needs me. That's Lucy." Derek grabbed his chest as he felt a stro "You are either very brave or foolish to be challenging me like this." Titus chuckled.

"Is he not burning you child?" Grandpa Sage looked at Titus' hands on Derek. Titus has a very strong a "No, he isn't burning me." Derek shook his head angrily and met his gaze over to Wyatt. "What are you Wyatt squeezed his hands into fists and his grey eyes attacked back at Derek. "Because we need to tal a strong push, Titus sent him inside. Derek spun around to see the four men keeping a very intense ga "Are you messing around on our Lucy?" Titus growled angrily.

"Don't bother lying to us. That will only make your death more painful." Lee said with an icy stare. "What are you talking about?" Derek looked between the two men and then to Wyatt. "You know how "Was there someone else before Lucy? Did you just not mention it to her so you didn't hurt her? Or we "There is no one but Lucy. I've loved her since before she was my mate. It has only ever been her. Wha Instead, he was being asked ridiculous questions.

"He is telling the truth..." The Great Sage said with a smile.

Why are you keeping me from her?"

about?" Derek was getting frustrated. Lucy's pain filled cries had him panicking. What was wrong with her? He needed to be by her side comforting her now.

"I'll go get Jasper. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this." Titus quickly left. Hopefully, it was all jaisunderstanding...

Rough. Hard. Hot. Gross. This was not at all how kissing Derek felt like. Lucy's head was held firmly so She looked up at his contorted face he looked to be in immeasurable pain. Wet beads formed on his f "Micah are you alright?" Alexis asked worriedly.

He nodded his head and closed his eyes.

ldn't move as Micah's lips stayed glued to hers. She could feel the deadly tangle of energy in her slowly part ways and he removed himself from her lips. d as he tried to control his breathing.

"Jasper... can you come with me?" Titus peaked his head in and motioned for the vampire to follow him quickly. Jasper's fist and jaw were clenched as he turned his head away forcefully to follow Titus out of the room. Lucy watched curiously for a moment before the pain inside of her distracted her again. It wasn't strong but it still hurt.

"Eww, I have Micah cooties now." Lucy teased meekly as she turned her head into his chest burying into him from the pain. She felt that he was doing something with her energy there and knew there wasn't anything more meant from it. "Sorry Lucy." Micah opened his eyes and smiled weakly. "It was the fastest way for me to connect to your energy. I was able to separate it for now." He looked up at Lilly with a frown. "It's weird... my connection with Lucy should feel different but it doesn't. I can connect to her easily."

"Justice, how is your connection with Alexis?" Lilly turned and looked at her grandson.

"I didn't know there was supposed to be a difference... but..." He looked between Alexis and Lucy. "There isn't one for me either. As far as feeling them goes. But protectiveness is different. I am more protective of Lucy. I am of Alexis too but Lucy edges it out." "Yes, same." Micah nodded his head in agreement. He looked down at Lucy whose head was still resting on his chest. He reached down and smoothed some of her hair back. "But I do feel like she is my responsibility as well."

"It was one kiss, Micah. You don't have to take responsibility for her over that." Aiden teased trying to bring some humor to the moment.

"Hey, that wasn't a kiss!" Micah looked down at Lucy. "And you better not be judging that as if it is one because I can do better."

Lucy chuckled quietly. "No judgment." The faintest of scents hit her nostrils. Her eyes snapped wider and she forced herself upwards ignoring the pain. She looked around the room with her eyes furrowed. She could feel a tug inside of her chest. "Derek is here." Her eyes darted over the room seeing no one looked shocked. She started putting the pieces together. Her father was gone, along with Titus, Levi and Grandpa Sage. And Titus had just come and taken Jasper.

"Your father is speaking with him now." Freya said quietly.

"If he is messing around on my granddaughter maybe I should be down there teaching him a lesson." Tyler growled as Lilly placed her hand on his arm.

Lucy sat there quietly. They all knew. Aiden must have explained to them the situation. So her family was down there interrogating him. She appreciated it but this was her relationship. It was between her and Derek. Besides... she wanted to see him. No, she needed to see him. She felt her insides being squeezed. And the deep need for her mate was resurfacing the energy Micah had worked so hard to subside. "I can handle Derek myself," Lucy growled not liking the idea of anyone touching what was hers.

It wasn't intentional. There wasn't anything she could do about it. Her instincts were taking over and she was in heat. This wasn't something she could fight off, not when she wanted her mate. She knew what she heard from Stella but it couldn't be true. Derek would never... A strong wave of realization hit her. She wasn't marked by Derek but she could feel him. She could feel his feelings. There was never insincerity in them. Worst case Stella was his past and he was trying to spare her feelings. She didn't care as long as it was his past. She just wanted his present and future.

"Easy Lucy. You are colliding your energy together again." Micah grunted painfully.

"Lucy..." Freya cooed to her daughter softly. "You are in a very delicate state. I know you are a fighter but this time please... lay back down. Control your breathing."

"I can't control it. I can feel it lashing around inside of me but it is wild. I..." Lucy shook her head. "Why is it out of control like this? All because of the heat?"

"Because you are a lycan and a fairy princess the demand for a mate and offspring is overpowering you." Freya could see the pain in her daughter's eyes. She was barely hanging on from the pain. It was taking guardians down fast and they were adapted to handling pain. She couldn't imagine the suffering Lucy was going through.

"I can't keep it separated." Micah gasped out.

The two energies were about to clash again wildly when a green energy filled the room. The light swirled around Lucy and lifted her up. Then the green began to form together into a figure. And soon a man with the scent of licorice was holding Lucy in his chest. "Damn goddess tried to put me to sleep. She is the real menace in this world." Abaddon said, clicking his tongue angrily. His eyes fell to Lucy in his arms and he turned gentle. "How am I supposed to rest when you are already causing me so much trouble from day one?"

Rhea and Lilly gasped as they stared at the man holding Lucy. His undeniable scent hit their nose and there was no doubt who he was.

"How can this be?" Tyler whispered out. His eyes turned black as he watched his old foe holding his granddaughter.

"Ooops... secret is out." Abaddon chuckled. "Lucy focus." He met with her green eyes. "Feel my energy inside of you. It is separating the two energies. You are going to be just fine." He looked up and over the room. "Where is her damn mate at? We don't have time for games." His voice snarled angrily as he clutched Lucy protectively.

Aiden quickly jumped in front of Abaddon and Lucy. He held his hand up noticing the tension rising from his family and his grandfather's murderous glare. "It's a long story. He's Lucy's protector now. He is the servant bound to her. Look... he is helping Lucy now... that is what is important."

"He can't be trusted. He is evil" Rhea snapped angrily.

"Don't talk about him that way!" Lucy growled back at her aunt, shocking everyone in the room. Abaddon was hers though. He was her servant. And she had seen what happened in the past. There was a bond forming between the two of them. One of mutual respect and care. And this bond was making the djinn's powers in Abaddon stronger. Their connection together was already stronger than Lucy had thought possible. Maybe the connection between master and servant was like a mate bond? It helped you connect and understand?

Abaddon looked up at Lilly and Rhea. "Hate me, I deserve it. Don't trust me and think of me how you want. Honestly... I deserve it all. But don't upset Lucy any further. She needs our support right now." Lilly and Rhea were both shocked and were not sure what to think of this person in front of them.

"You should be resting. You don't have the energy for this." Lucy's voice was quiet.

"As if I can rest when your energies are on the verge of tearing you apart. You come first Lucy. Above everything...above myself." Abaddon was honestly touched by how she snapped at her family on his behalf. Him! The enemy. The monster that plagued her family... and she defended him. He listened as she let out a small yelp from the pain. He couldn't help her with the pain, only separating her energy. He stepped from Aiden's protective barrier and carried Lucy back over to Micah.

"I can't help her with the pain..." Abaddon looked at Micah who nodded his head and took her back into his arms. "I will keep your energy separate. Relax until we get your mate in here."

"Thank you." Freya said to Abaddon. She didn't know this demon but knew he helped her daughter and that was all that mattered to her. He looked over at her and nodded slightly with a faint smile.

Lilly and Rhea stood there frozen. They didn't know how to react. Abaddon was here though he seemed different. And his energy was different. And he was here helping Lucy. They both didn't know what to think about all of it. For now... Lucy was all that mattered. They would figure out the rest later but they were staying on high alert.

Derek met with Jasper's eyes the moment he walked into the room. "Jasper! How is Lucy? What the hell is going on?!"

"She's..." Jasper's bottom lip quivered and he shook his head slightly. "She is struggling. She is in so much pain. They've been cycling through the guardians and can barely manage the pain."

Derek's eyes grew dark. "I'm going to her."

"Wait." Wyatt said firmly. "Lucy is in heat. This means the only thing that can stop this is for her to be marked and mated..."

"She is my mate. It was going to happen soon. I don't understand what the problem is." Derek was agitated beyond belief.

"We are figuring out who should be the one to mark and mate with her." Grandpa Sage said with a flicker in his eyes.

"Anyone else that touches her will be ripped apart. Lucy is MINE!" Derek's eyes grew dark at the mention of someone else touching what was his. Over his dead body.

"What about Stella?" Jasper blurted out.

"Stella? You mean Sabrina's cousin? What about her?!" Derek shook his head angrily.

"She told us, Derek. She said you two were a couple. She had pictures of the two of you... and videos." Jasper trailed off quietly as he watched his prince's eyes turn almost black.
