The Lost Morningstar

🌷Chapter 29🌷

♡Salem POV♡

'I'm your father.'

Impossible he's dead...or was he?

'I never dead Salem just evolved into a higher power.'

He neglects his family for power as if I needed more reason to hate him, all these long years my papa was alive.

'You weren't suppose to end up with HIM!'

My so called mama was not herself. She was filled with hate and anger which isn't her not...she's meant to be loving, kind and supportive of my decision yet I got none of that.

'Not everyone played their roles properly.'

I didn't know who Siegfried was talking about...I refuse to call that man my papa he doesn't derseve that title. My papa wouldn't choose power over family not the Cerventes Winters that raised me...or was that a lie?

My whole life has been one web of lies spreading like a heinous disease.

In the end I lost both my parents and that is what's killing me painfully knowing they'll never be the same again, Cersei has limited time on this realm so I know that they'll be after me or Asmodeus hence why I placed him in the castle guarded by man soldiers as well as Cebereus.

My pain doesn't even match what Axel is feeling. By the Gods seeing him in such a pitiful state made me ache inside, out of all people Troye was the most kindest and loving go ever grace any of lives he was a breath of fresh air a gift sent from above; now he's a corpse thanks to my own bloodline. Axel hasn't spoken a word ever since he carried Troye's body to his home not wanting to give anyone the time of day and I understand completely, my only concern is how will he break the unfortunate news to his own son? No-one should be put in such a position.

This death cements the end of my relationship with my parents. No longer do they mean anything to me after all the pain they put Axel through will get them back, I'll make sure Troye is avenged if it means sacrificing my own life.

And I know you must thinking why not use necormancy to bring him back? Answer to that is Axel isn't letting anyone near his body and two the whole soul for a soul, I've already given mine away so we'll have to find a pure soul to fit Troye's until then all we can do is mourn the loss of a great friend and help support the lost lover.

A knock on the door alerts me and in comes Lucifer who gives me a broken smile. I'm glad to be reunited with him truly but with the reveal of Siegfried's true identity on top of the murderer of Troye looming over my head it just makes things complicated. On one hand I wish to tell him the truth but I know it'll hurt him more and our relationship will suffer even more...that's not what I want plus he had enough on his plate with his mother being with Leonardo. Too much shit going on and so little time to resolve it.

"How are you doing my dove? I brought some croissants to lift your mood." He brings the delectable pastry to me but I have no appetite. "You must eat something Salem even if it's just a little. I don't want you falling ill."

"I'm not in the croissant mood today." I roll back in bed turning my back towards him.

"Dove please don't be like this."

"Like what Lucifer?" I bite back. "Angry? Sad? Or do you think I'll have another episode where I go mental and burn everyone?"

"I didn't say that so stop putting words into my mouth and bloody listen...I don't want to fight or argue with you especially given our current situation, you're not in the best spirits and I understand that but just know I want to protect you, love you and overall make you happy."
