Astrea thought she was alone in the world, until she discovered that she had been "gifted" by the Devil himself. Unlike most people who have guardian angels, she finds herself with a guardian devil, given a chance for Lucifer's redemption. After a c...

Lucifer's heart pounded in his chest as he ran through the rain-soaked streets of Paris. Every step carried an urgency fueled by desperation, his eyes scanning the faces of passersby, hoping to catch a glimpse of Astrea's familiar features.
Rain cascaded down around him, drenching his clothes, but he paid no heed to the discomfort. His thoughts were consumed by Astrea, her absence a gaping void that threatened to engulf him. He had let her slip away, and now he yearned to make amends, to find her and beg for her forgiveness.
He weaved through the bustling crowds, his supernatural speed allowing him to move swiftly and effortlessly. The city's lights flickered through the rain, casting an ethereal glow over the wet cobblestones. But to Lucifer, everything appeared dim and muted, for his focus was solely on the one he had lost.
"Astrea," he whispered under his breath, his voice mingling with the sound of raindrops hitting the pavement. "Where are you?"
He ventured through narrow alleyways and winding streets, his keen senses attuned to any trace of her presence. With each passing moment, his desperation grew, and the weight of his regret pressed upon him like an invisible burden.
A fleeting image caught his attention—an umbrella abandoned on a bench. Lucifer's heart skipped a beat as he recognized it. It was Astrea's, left behind in the chaos of her departure. Hope ignited within him, propelling him forward with renewed determination.
He followed the trail, his instincts guiding him like a compass. The rain seemed to conspire against him, masking any scent or trace that could lead him to her. Yet, he pressed on, refusing to succumb to the torrents that threatened to wash away his resolve.
At last, his search brought him to a quiet park, where the rain fell softly upon the surrounding foliage. There, standing beneath a solitary tree, was Astrea. Her gaze was distant, lost in the pensive stillness of the moment.
Lucifer's heart soared and he closed the distance between them, his breath catching in his throat. Raindrops clung to his dark hair and glistened on his shoulders as he reached out, hesitantly, to touch her arm.
"Astrea," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "I've been searching for you."
Astrea turned, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of surprise and longing. For a moment, the world stood still as their gazes locked, the rain falling around them like a shroud of anticipation.
"I couldn't bear to be without you," Lucifer confessed, his voice raw with sincerity. "Please, forgive me. I never meant to hurt you."
Astrea's lips quivered as tears mingled with the rain on her cheeks. She reached out, her hand trembling as it brushed against his. "I thought I could walk away, but my heart refuses to let you go."
Lucifer's heart swelled with hope, and he took her into his arms, holding her as the rain continued to pour down. In that moment, beneath the weeping sky, they found solace in each other's embrace. The city of Paris faded into the background, as their love became the only truth that mattered.
They stood there, drenched by the rain, their souls intertwining once more. And as the storm raged on, they knew that together, they would weather any darkness that lay ahead. When the rain stopped a little, they decided to go back home and talk things out.

Astrea sat on the edge of the worn sofa, her eyes fixed on Lucifer, waiting anxiously for him to speak. The weight of unanswered questions hung heavy in the air, and she could feel the intensity of his gaze as he searched for the right words.
Taking a deep breath, Lucifer began, his voice laced with a mixture of sadness and determination. "Astrea, there is something I need to tell you, something about your stepfather and the reason your blood is so important to him."
Astrea's brows furrowed in confusion, her fingers instinctively clutching the fabric of her skirt. "What do you mean? I remember he mentioned it but why?"
Lucifer's gaze never wavered as he continued, his voice steady. "Your stepfather, driven by his lust for power, made dark bargains with sorcerers. They granted him abilities to manipulate time itself, to harness its energies for his own gain. But these powers come with a price—a price that can only be paid with the blood of a descendent from a long-lost bloodline."
Astrea's eyes widened, disbelief mingling with the flicker of realization. "Are you saying... I'm the descendant?"
Lucifer nodded solemnly. "Yes, Astrea. Your blood carries the ancient lineage necessary for your stepfather to maintain his grasp over time. He seeks to wield its power, to control the very fabric of existence."
Astrea's mind spun with the weight of this revelation. The pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place, connecting her stepfather's obsession with her, his relentless pursuit. It all made sense now, and fear clawed at her chest.
"But why me?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "Why was I born into this cursed bloodline?"
Lucifer's eyes softened, his hand reaching out to gently cup her cheek. "Astrea, you were never meant to bear the burden of your bloodline. It was a twist of fate, a cruel circumstance that I couldn't foresee. But please believe me when I say, I will do everything in my power to protect you from Andre's grasp."
Tears welled up in Astrea's eyes as she looked into Lucifer's gaze, searching for reassurance amidst the storm of emotions. "What do we do now, Lucifer? How do we stop him?"
A flicker of determination ignited in Lucifer's eyes, his voice filled with resolve. "We must gather our strength and allies, forge alliances with those who oppose them. Together, we will confront that bastard, unveil his treachery, and put an end to his wicked designs."
Astrea nodded, her fear gradually transforming into determination. She wiped away her tears, finding solace in Lucifer's unwavering presence. "I won't let them control me anymore. I'll fight alongside you, Lucifer. We'll face this darkness together."
Lucifer's smile was tinged with both relief and affection as he took her hand in his. "Together, Astrea, we will rewrite the course of your destiny. Your strength and resilience will be our guiding light."
And in that moment, they found solace in their shared resolve. Side by side, they would challenge the forces that sought to manipulate and destroy them, bound by a love that transcended the darkest of secrets.
