Lost Soul

Alora

11 years later**

Time has truly flown by raising my two boys and being queen of hell. A lot has changed, my foster parents know about us and what I am. I'm not as close to them as I once was. We are from two very different worlds and what my foster dad said has stuck with me. Not only that but them lying to me about being adopted, was a tough pill to swallow. I still see them regularly with the boys so they can meet their grandsons.

I'm still very close with Delaney and even Xander.
Delaney stays here in hell sometimes as she's the only mortal to visit. She's a fresh breath of air to have around and she likes the parties the demons have at night. So there's that, but I love her to death.

We actually just got back from the human realm as Archer and Legion visited their great grandma. Let's just say when Grammy found out about the twins. She was so excited to see me fall in love and have children. She loves that we sometimes will visit her.

Right now I'm looking out the window at Archer sword fighting with Asmodeus. He's become quite the warrior for an 11 year old, and loves a challenge when presented. He has an outgoing personality, but can get angry very easily. As for Legion, he's the very opposite of his fraternal twin Archer. He is more quiet and reserved, doesn't really talk to strangers. He mainly talks or rather listens to Archer.

Legion is just an old soul, but he can get angry like his short tempered brother. It's more silent rage and can get out of hand when his shadows are involved. He did inherit his fathers dark shadows, but he has my quiet nature. Which can make him unpredictable. Archer has a unique but can be deadly, since no one has this power. He can control fire at his finger tips and it's the most dangerous element. Which is why he's in training.

Asmodeus and I agreed that we would have them both trained in the field of combat. Then would we move to their magic abilities, so they will be strong. I notice Legion has his head in a book with his book open. I decide to make my way outside to them as I see the leaves are starting to change color.

"Legion are you not sword fighting today?" I ask as he sits his back on the tree. He looks up at me and shakes his head.

"Well then what are you reading?" I ask as I sit down beside him on his left.

"I'm reading up on my powers and more on Archer's." He says as he looks back down at the words in the book. Definitely my son with his thirst for knowledge.

"I'm glad your studying up on your powers it'll help you make sense of them when fighting. And I'm afraid their may be a war in the horizon, I can feel it. Maybe not today, but soon." I say truthfully to Legion as he finally looks up from his book. He gives me a questionable stare, and I know he wonders. In these 11 years, I've seen some wars face us head on at our doors. To some rogue wolves all the way to the witches retaliating on what we did many years ago. It's a never ending story.

"Mom, did dad always have a hard time befriending people at my age?" Legion unexpectedly asks me with a frown as his dark black hair blows in the autumn wind.

"Why don't you ask him yourself? You know he'll answer any questions you have for him." I tell my sweet son as he looks unsure.

"I would... but I never say the right things, and I just forget to ask. Besides, he's training Archer right now and I feel like other kids at the academy make fun of me. Because I like to just be by myself with my shadows or just Archer." Legion says as he looks down at the ground. I lift his chin and make him look into my green eyes compared to his dark brown eyes.

"You listen to me, you are the prince of hell and if anyone is making fun of you. You just show them what you truly are really made of. Legion, you are just as amazing as your brother, and don't you ever forget that. Also your dad will always have time for you." I say as he nods his head, and I kiss his cheek. I hug him tightly as he puts his arms around my neck.

"I love you, mom." He whispers in my ear.

I smile at him. "And I love you, my Legion" I say pulling back as I see Archer make his way over.

His fiery red hair almost matches the leaves on the ground. "Momma, I almost beat dad today with my sword fighting skills!" He excitedly exclaims as he hugs my waist and I hold him as I kiss the top of his head.

"I'm so so proud of you, Archer. You will be a great warrior!" I say with a wide grin and he smiles back.

"Legion, let's go practice out back! Come on!" He shouts running off and Legion looks and yells, "wait!! I'm coming too!"

I laugh at how Archer can get him out of his shell faster than I can. It's that twin brother friendship. As I look straight ahead I see my mate walking over to me.

"Archer is coming along great and Legion is starting to feel comfortable around the sword. I feel though his true strength is his knowledge of things." Asmodeus states as he wraps his strong hands around my waist.

"I'm glad but... Legion I think is getting felt left behind as he also mentioned some kids at school are making fun of him. Don't worry I gave him something to fight for." I say as Asmodeus frowns down at me.

"Well I'm going to need to chat with some of these fellow students of his. Because nobody bully's our child, and gets away with it." He states with a look of anger I've seen thousands of times before in his eyes. 

"Now a wise person once told me that you should face your problems head on. Isn't that right?" I ask with a mischievous glint in my eyes.

"Is that so? Then I really ought to listen to them." He says with a laugh and a sweet kiss on my lips.

"I'll talk with Legion more after he's done practicing with Archer." Asmodeus says as he takes hold of my hand and leads me inside the castle.

Having both my children has been a blessing and I love them beyond measure. Just as I love Asmodeus and I hope the boys find someone as I've found my mate.

"I love you, little bird." My mate tells me as he walks us to the living room.

"I love you more." I say as I kiss his cheek tenderly and he holds my palm to his cheek.

"I love my lost soul, but yours was never lost. I just needed to know you for who you truly are... on the inside." He says as he puts his palm to my beating heart.

"I'm yours eternally." I say with utter honesty as I close my eyes, and he puts his forehead to mine.

"Forever." He says and I've always known he meant it.

The End...
For now 😏

Thank you so much
for staying until the end 🖤
