Deadly Sins & Their Virtues 18+

Chapter 17

Pride discovered roots in Russia

I wasn't assigned to the area but my soul pulled me to the country. Some things looked familiar and I grinned at being able to speak the language. I told Levi that I was going to a museum and I'm currently outside of the Hermitage museum. When I entered my eyes immediately fell on a crudely done sketch. I blinked my eyes several times looking at the man with the long beard. I'm rubbing my chin and my stomach drops. I feel Lucifer at my side and turn to him.

"That looks oddly like myself," I state firmly and Lucifer grinned.

"It does, it looks exactly like you," he laughed softly. I looked at the metal tab that was describing the portrait. The first known Czar, Drazhan Volkov, died from a wolf attack.

I swallowed uncomfortably as the memory flooded my mind. I side eyed Lucifer.

"I was more than human, I was part lycan," I state firmly and Lucifer grinned more.

"Yes Drazhan, you were magnificent and I wanted you, your pride caused your death, you thought you were an alpha at a young age and tried to take one named Alarik on, unfortunately his demon Chort was very powerful, you failed and I saved you," he tells me calmly.

"I'm Russian," I state simply.

"Obviously," Lucifer chuckled.

"You're also my um, son, Drazhan, from a servant who I was involved intimately with before Lilith," he added softly. I furrowed my brow and looked over at him. I couldn't see any resemblance physically, except our eyes being the same color. Oddly, deep down I'd always felt close to the man.

"So I'm part lycan and fallen angel, hell of a combination," I mumbled softly and added, "Does Lilith and your sons know the truth." Lucifer shook his head and sighed.

"Lilith and I have only two sons together, the rest are from my other affairs prior to finding my soulmate, she's aware of their existence, but only Leviathan knows the truth about you," he mumbled softly and I nodded.

"Mammon and Asmodeus are Lilith's," he added. I grinned at my now father, thinking about my past life and many step brothers.

"I'm going to give you an option to stay in this realm until you find your soulmate, also you can return to my realm or live with the humans, I'm assigning the deadly sins to my offspring, your my son, so Pride you shall remain," he tells me calmly. I shrugged, I didn't mind being Pride.

"I do suggest that you head towards the forest near Kostroma and see if you can still transform into your wolf, you might be surprised by what you find, take care Drazhan," Lucifer smiled and walked away. I watched him fade away into the wall. I chewed on my bottom lip wondering if I could change into my wolf. I ran my fingers through my short blonde hair and sighed. I decided to take transport to the forest. I head to Kostroma in Russia. The cab driver questioned me when I asked to be dropped off near the thick trees. He explained that there were strange things that inhabited the area and I nodded with a grin. He shrugged as I paid and shut the door behind myself. I watched the car disappear and turned to the trees. I stepped down onto the thick undergrowth and headed into the foliage. When I was far enough from the road I began stripping off my clothes. I felt a ripple down my flesh and dropped to all fours. I blinked my eyes several times and shook out my blonde fur. I smiled as my large half demon wolf sniffed the air. My mind swirled in disbelief. There were others of my kind within the forest. I ran quickly towards the smell of a female. I was grinning happily in my mind as my muscles stretched and burned heading towards the intoxicating scent. I neared an open field and am suddenly surrounded by three smaller male wolves. I sat on my haunches and watched them transform back into humans. I reluctantly changed myself and stood. I snapped my fingers and dressed myself causing them to gasp.
