To Win The Devil's Heart

♦️Chapter 18♦️

♡Salem POV♡

No....no...no...it...can't....be...

"My sweet dove, I've missed you." His words are raspy and hit me straight in the heart.

The room is feels claustrophobic, all of us staring in awe at how he's alive.

His hair us slightly longer, his eyes burning red, his neck scarred with a thin line running through it. His cheeks filled with stubble making him look hotter than hell.

My hands reach out to feel his chest. The sudden beating takes away all the stress away replacing theme negatives with only love.

"It's really you." My words are but a whisper, he reaches for my silvery locks, stroking it finely.

"Your hair is longer," he chuckles, "guess it would after 3 years."

"D-dad?" My head twist round to see Blaze standing with emotions swirling around his aura. Lucifer peels himself away from me and strolls to our son and engulfs him in his muscular arms.

"My dear boy how I've dreamt of this moment. To be with you and my mate." He words are thick with emotions but he keeps himself from choking.

"I-i....n-never....d-dad." Blaze chokes up into a sob not able to compose words, Lucifer rubs his back soothibg the pain away.

Axel and Troye stare in disbelief as does the rest of the table. Some confused, some happy and some suspicious.

They both peel away from each other as Lucifer takes a look at his spawn. Both of them in my life makes it that much more significant to fight and end this feud between brothers.

"H-how?" Axel keeps his words as steady as can be but his thoughts ate screaming at him to break, "You were killed so what is this?" Lucifer moves from our son and picks up Axel, spining him around.

"How I've missed your dumbass also hi Troye." He gives Troye a small wave making the boy flush red and wave back.

"Doesn't answe my question?" Axel removes himself from Lucifer and stands with a cold glare.

Lucifer shakes his head,"Is there a way that only us four can speak and not the rest, they can wait." He gestures to me, Axel and Troye.

"Follow me, the rest of you stay and eat," I walk to Blaze who is still gobsmacked, "Go get some rest, your father won't leave you," Blaze was about to argue but Wiccan whispers something in his ear making him turn red head to toe.

I lead myself and the other 3 to the map room where all our war plans are set. Lucifer drags his finger against the table looking down at the plans with no emotion plastered on his face.

"Speak." Axel sits down on a chair waiting for Lucifer to spill his guts.

"Watch your tongue or else." I warn Axel who is pushing his luck with me. He simply huffs and looks away from burning eyes.

"Enough bickering between each other. He's right. But do not interrupt until I have uttered my last breathe. Capiche?" We all simultaneously nod at the same time as we take our seats and wait till Lucifer talks.

"After my throat was gashed open and you all fled, Zeon had his people take me to the catacombs where they used my blood to....create that monstrosity and he uses that thing to keep the people in check." His words struck heavy as the room become quiet.

"But how did you get brought back to life?" I ask curious on how someone died and came back? Plus where do you go after you die?

"I was resurrected like our Lord and Saviour himself. Resurrections only happen if you have a soul to spare and Hell is filled with them."
