False alarm

Zamael glared at him with hatred. "Where is Amira"?! He barked. He didn't have time for rubbish.

Lucifer was serious but only for a brief seconds. His lips curled and a chuckle left his mouth. It was totally unexpected that all this fiasco was for the appearance of Zamael. He expected more.

"Are you in the wrong place Zamael"? He asked.

Zamael rushed to him and punched him angríly.

"You caused all this! You should have just left her the f*ck alone"!

"Angels are meant to be gentle and none violent beings. Is the role shifting"?

Lucifer licked off the blood on his lips and his fangs elongated. Tasting his blood which he had never done before made him suddenly remember that someone else shares the same blood with him.

His throat turned dry and itched. He wanted that blood. To taste it directly from her delectable skin. His eyes changed colours and shone more brightly.

His changes was visible to everyone and Devlin held Miranda tightly and gestured to her not to make a sound.

Even though Zamael didn't want to, he stepped back. He was not here on a duty so he could not use his powers else there would be punishment.

Lucifer's head snapped to him. His eyes were bright red and had a hungry look.

"If my blood could be this sweet I wonder how that one would be. Maybe even sweeter"...

"Wh-at are you trying to do"? Zamael asked with wide eyes. Was he trying to draw blood from him? He had never heard of this situation before.

Before Lucifer could say anything else, Zamael disappeared. He chuckled and tucked his hands behind him.

"I was really planning on taking a bite. But not from him"...

Devlin glanced him warily. "Who are you planning to take a bite from"?

"Do you think your blood is worth it... Or is that of your little witch"? Lucifer said with disdain.

Mira rolled her eyes at him but kept quiet. The guy was just too proud. No wonder Amira couldn't keep up with him.

Lucifer shot her a pensive look then gave Devlin a glance and disappeared without saying anything.

☆☆✞︎✞︎☆☆

Amira stood at the top of the spiral stairs. She so much wished not to go downstairs but there where already guests and it would be impolite for her not to come.

She slowly descended the stairs in her pale red floral dress. The dress had reminded her of Lucifer's scary eyes so she had made sure a floral design was added to it.

Caven was at the foot of the stairs, waiting for her. His heart skipped several beat in awe of her beauty. He felt fortunate that he was her choice of date.

When Amira got to the last step, he stretched out his hand and she placed hers in his.

"You are breathtakingly gorgeous". Caven breathed out.

"You look great yourself".

Amira smiled politely. Although he was generally boring, he was a nice man so she decided to treat him politely till the ball was over.

Christine grinned from ear to ear. "They make a perfect match don't they"? She whispered.

"Why don't you look for your own perfect match"? King Cyrus scolded.

"I'm still sixteen dad". Christine said with an eye roll.

Amira parted ways with Caven shortly after. She was fortunate that he had an acute understanding and knew that she didn't want him around.

She walked to the fruit stand and popped a grape in her mouth. She scanned the people around and have a light nod to some she found familiar.

"Why did your date leave you alone? Where you dumped "? A sarcastic voice said behind her.

"Why should you care since it has nothing to do with you"? Amira asked in a pissed voice.

"I don't.. I only appreciate beauties". The man said with a grin.

Amira's heart skipped few rhythms. Her eyes followed the movement from across the room. That perfect shape... Even though she has only known it for few days, she could tell at a look who it way.

Lucifer... He was here? But how? The god.. Zeus or whatever promised.

As if he felt her eyes on him, he turned around and smirked at her.

Amira's eyes rolled back and she passed out.
