Be my Quest

All Too Soon

Lucan's POV

I watch her as she drifts off into a peaceful slumber. I smile at myself wondering how on earth a guy like me could mate to someone so delicate and innocent like her? I close my eyes and start to drift off into a sleep along with her until the wind starts to up. The huge Sakura tree began cracking and whining in pain. I touch the tree and felt an eerie like presence invade my soul. 'What's going on Delphic?' I could feel him high on alert and he was ready to transform and overtake my body.
Must. Protect. Mate!
What is going on?! I will protect my mate!
No. Must. PROTECT!
Our mate, my friend. I'm here, but please tell me what's going on?

"I'll tell you what's going on." A man said as he glimmered ahead of me.

"Who are you?" I said covering my eyes.

"Me?" The man said snickering in front of me as his light began to die down and fade.

"I'm her mate." He said pointing toward Astheum.

Delphic was ready to start war with this guy because if there's one thing Delphic hates, it's sharing. Especially if it's someone like his mate.

"Who are you?" I growl holding Astheum close to my body. Attempting to shield her from this mysterious man.

"Like I said I'm her mate now hand her over and you won't have to die."

I clutched her closer to my body and said, "I'd rather die."

"Suit yourself than." He said while picking at his nails.

Soon an arrow was shot and it hit me right in between my shoulder blades.

"You COWARD!" I hiss as the arrow continues to burn me between my shoulder blades. This arrow was no regular arrow. No this arrow had angel's venom inside it. I drop to my knees and Astheum's eyes stir and she wakes up. Her expression pain as she saw the condition I was succumbing.

"Oh my goodness! What's wrong?"

I try to smile and hide my face, but everything was not going to well.

"Astheum! You finally brace us with your presence!" Astheum turned around and her face contorted with disgust and hatred.

"You," She said pointing her finger at the man, "You! You! You!"

The man smiled and looked at her like she was his only reason to live. "I what sweetheart?"

"You killed my parents!" I look at her in shock and could no longer process anything that was happening. What's going on? I thought to myself.

Astheum's POV

The man standing in front of me was the Angel King, the King of all Angels. He was not as great as you think angels are, he is a sick, nasty, dirty, disgusting man, and everyone in the royal palace knows that!

"Why Astheum you've blossomed into such a beautiful girl. More beautiful than when you were younger."

I cringe at his response and said, "You sick old man! Stay away from me and my mate!"

His face was no longer playful. No it hardened and became more serious. You could see the darkness of his soul, evil deeds surrounding him. Just his presence alone kills all the beautiful flowers that was blooming and shining beautifully under the moon's gleam.

"He'll die now Astheum. No one touches you and gets away with it unharmed or undead."

With a flick of his finger five more arrows were shot into Lucan's body making more blood flow out. I crouch over towards him and lightly press my lips upon all of his wounds whispering sorry. As I began to rip all the arrows out of his body. He did not cry nor did he groan in pain, he took it like a strong man and I was proud of him for it. By the time I could get to the last arrow out that was in his arm the King grab my arm whipping me around. Slapping my face so hard there was an echo that was sound into the fields and everything went still. The moon began to turn from white to dark red then black. Whimpering at the pain that was inflicted upon my face and he found pleasure at my whimper.

"Maybe I should teach you how to obey me like before Astheum," He said flipping me over towards Lucan.

"Maybe you should because it seems to be that I've forgotten?" I said and slowly reach into my dress to pull out a knife.

The King grabs my body and whisks me closer to his and when he did I took out my knife stabbing it into his chest. Grabbing my little knives in my shoes I toss them into the grass and the trees in the distance. Killing everyone that stood in my way or could potentially hurt me or Lucan. All their bodies fell with a thump and soon they disappear into thin air meaning they were dead and could never come back.

"Lucan!" I said while running to him.

"Oh my goodness please you can't do this to me. Please I just found you don't die please!" I said shaking him while pulling out the last arrow and kissing it lightly. The bleeding from the wounds were sealed because of my kisses, but the angel's venom already penetrated his body, slowly killing him.

"Lucan I'm so sorry this would of never happened if I never had met you or stayed with you or left. I'm so stupid!"

"Now, now. It is I that should be saying that to you my dear mate. I have been waiting many, many millenniums for you." Lucan coughs out more blood and I cry even more.

"It's okay no doctors can help me. I know I'm going to die. They can only prolong my life for so long, but know this I'm happy to die knowing that you're alive and well. I'm happy I finally got to meet my own mate before I die. I can die a happy man. Astheum please.... don't forget me."

I shook my head and held him to my body saying, "No! No! Lucan! Please you can't give up on me!"

"I never said I was. I'm just going to sleep for a long time. Then when you fall asleep I'll meet you there." Lucan chuckles and I cry even more. Lucan lightly brushes my cheek and I look at him saying, "I'm going to make you live Lucan."

Lucan laid on the ground motionless and said, "You can't I'm not immortal."

I held my breath not knowing what to do, but something inside me told me to say it so I said,

"But I am."
