Luna Rising

SIXTY TWO

"Dad, where are you going?"

"I just want to have a little man-to-man chat with my potential son-in-law," my angry demon lord Dad is making his way to find Dominic.

"Dad, please stop. This is my issue, not yours."

"You're my daughter, and anyone hurting you, I will teach them a lesson. Even that wolf is your mate." Dad announced.

After I opened my mouth and complained about Dominic not paying attention to me, Dad had the impression that he wasn't happy.

I told him I had to solve my problems with Dominic, but now that he's a parent and wants to protect his little girl, he is on the verge of murdering my mate.

I can't convince my dad, who doesn't show but has a temper, not to seek Dominic. How can I calm a Demon Lord?

If only Mom is awake.

I tugged on his cloak and pulled him. "Dad, this is Dominic, and I own problems. Let me handle it."

"And let him ignore the fact that he killed you!"

I froze as my heart skipped a beat. "H-How?"

Dad frowned and sighed. "Azazel told me."

Azazel then it was Jippies.

Of course, I didn't ask how he knew because Jippies is the Grim Reaper. He knows everything about life and death.

I dropped my hand and looked down, avoiding eye contact with Dad.

"Lippy, I know you want to have a happy life with this boy, but what he did do to you."

"That was all in the past. I was brought back in time, and I changed my fate."

"But it didn't change getting involved with him again." He said and had a point.

After being brought back a year before my death, I cut ties with Dominic wishing never to see him again and moved on. But unexpected events had entangled Dominic and I again as if the ones controlling my fates were toying with me.

I thought meeting Dominic again wouldn't be the same as before, but the hit of his scent and my heart racing when he stepped out from the bushes that night, had me thinking twice and confused.

I knew I loved him and wanted to be his Luna, but the spark wasn't there initially. Dominic never felt that way toward me as a kid, but growing up, he treated me like a stranger.

Only because of the bracelet Leah gave him. It manipulated him to hate me. That bracelet changed him and locked the feelings of finding my mate.

Demons can have multiple lovers or spouses because they age slower. Sticking to one person as your significant other is rare among demons. Like Dad, he never had lovers or saw interest in women until he met Mom. Now she's his light and world; he will do anything for her, like bringing her back.

After Dominic was out from the curse, he tried to pursue getting me back. I tried hard to ignore it, trying not to bring back my feelings, but the spark I'd been waiting for hit me. No matter how much I don't deserve a man like Dominic, I decided to be with him.

And now, since Dominic learned the truth about what happened to me, I feel empty, and the ache in my chest starts to hurt.

It's my heart.

I clenched my fist against where my heart was racing and hurting. "Dad, thank you for looking out for me, and I know this father-daughter thing is still new because we only found each other and getting to know one another, but..."

I pinched my lips and looked up at his crimson blood eyes.

"Let me talk with Dominic, and if we still can't reconcile, then...he and I aren't meant to be," I chuckled breathlessly and pulled a frown.
