Sold: The UnderWorld (Book 5)

Please Don't

William:

I shook the royal king and queen's hands.

"It's a pleasure to see tou again Destiny, and Mason" I said.

"Uncle, what are we going to do?" I heared Jasper ask.

"A minute Jasper" I said. He left the room.

"Seems like your quite busy now?" Destiny said.

"My family is in danger it seems constantly that they are" I said grimly.

"Then it means something is wrong. Figure it out, and fix it" Destiny told me.

"Your a good man, you'll figure something out" Mason told me.

"Sir, French troops are asking for entry into Germany. Hold fire and allow entry, or attack?" asked a young woman.

"Mine, we're hunting down Lucifer" I told Mason.

"Allow entry" Mason said. As the young commander left Edmund entered. He was not looking good either.

"William, I apology for my error" Edmund muttered. His eyes were red, and he had bags under his eyes. Part of his neck was still blue.

"Edmund, don't blame yourself" I told him.

"No this was my fault. I should have sensed Venessa behind me I should-" he rambled on.

"Edmund shut up" I hissed in frustration.

"There's no way you could have. On the way here I ran into someone" I told him.

"No" he gapsed.

"James, Lucifer must have found him. Either he went on to being a demon or is an angel. Lucifer is forcing him against his will to work for him" I explained.

"Then that would explain why they kept finding us" Edmund realized. Tracket vampires like James are rare. They have the ability to track a sent for miles. They can even covet their own presense or someone elses presense. No doubt, before anything else we needed to find James, and release him from Lucifer.

Luke:

I sat at the dinner table. The same seating with Luna next to me and Michael beside her. My parents had yet to enter the room.

"Sorry Luna" I muttered quietly. She didn't respond, and I wasn't sure what she was feeling. I reached foreward, and took her hand in my own hand.

"Please don't" I heard her whisper. I pulled away from her just as Michael left the castle. He walked towards us at a brisk pace.

"Ay, father wants to see us" he explained. We walked down the hallway. Luna was inbetween Michael and I as we walked. She entered the office first.

"I would like to talk to Luke first, alone" I father said witg a snappy tone. I could feel tension rising off from him, something was wrong. Luna and Michael left the office leacing Lucifer and I in the office alone.

"She's a wild one is she not?" My father questioned me.

"She is, and I suppose it's in her nature" I replied, both of us reffering to Luna.

"And you were supposed to force her into submission" my father snapped.

"I tried father, but your way was not correct and-" I began to argue back.

"Silence! I am always right. You are wrong, and a failure!" My father yelled. He pounded his fist on the desk.

"One child fails me, and the other turns out to be a bigger failure" he scolded me.

"Father please, give me more time. I'll make her undetstand" I pleaded.

"Luna! Michael! Enter, now!" My father ordered loudly. The two entered.

"Luna dear, how are you?" my father asked nicely.

"I'm fine" Luna lied.

"Lovely, very glad to hear so" Lucifer replied, totaly missing Luna's lie that I caught easily.

"You aren't given much choice Luna dear, I apologize" Lucifer told her. My eyes widened, 'Oh jeez, where's he going with this?' I thought now beging to panic.

"I forced you to be mated to me youngest son, who is closer in age, but perhaps he is not a suitable partner" Lucifer said.

"What are you saying?" She asked.

"He's giving you the choice between Luke or me"Michael said. Her eyes widened in shock.

"I um-" she stuttered.

"Luna please" I whispered.

"Ah shut up Luke you don't own her" Michael said.

"I never said I did, but you did" I shot back. I turned to Luna.

"Luna please" I whispered.

"I pick Michael" she replied. Michael chuckled behind me.

"Alright your dismissed from my office" Lucifer said, and walked out.

"Your game is over Luke. You've lost" Luna told me. I swear something cracked in my chest, and my breath was caught. My fists balled up into my fists. Luna moved away from me fearfully.

"Yeah your right. I guess you saw through me. I lost my own game!" I laughed.

"I wish and brother dearest a happy life" I said as I too left the office. I slammed my fist into the wall, and began walking away from the new whole in the wall.

"Luke?" I heared my mother call.

"Let him go, the boy is a baby" my father replied. I stormed outside, wings instantly unfurling as I launched myself over the railing. If I didn't leave for a while I would end up killing someone.

Luna:

There was a loud bang as Luke left. I suppose he hit the wall of something. 'Jeez, I thought he'd be happy I chose Michael. It's not like he loved me right?' I thought.

I felt Michael hug me, and I hugged him back.

"I swear I'll handle you better than Luke. I'll treat you like he should have treated you" Michael told me.

"Thank you Michae" I said. We left the office, and I went outside. I climbed over the top of the roof. 'Maybe things wouldn't be so bad now' I hoped. 'I just don't understand why Luke took it so badly. I love Michael, he loves me, and Luke doesn't love me. There's no way he ever did. I feel like I made the right decision, too' I thought. I shook my head,

"Here I am thining too hard" I muttered to myself, "Luke must have left. Maybe even for good. I should just forget him" I decided. I leaped off the roof l, and headed towards the dining room.
