Hello beautiful, the throne room up above. It's been really hard to adjust to my old time zone even though it's been a week. Have a great day!

Luke's pov

I look over to Cato's Demons when they scream Joyously. Cato Looks over at me giving me a small smile and a slight nod. I continue talking to Edgar about what Cato talked to me about, Edgar is one of the only people who knew about my father and I.

 "Did you know about the book of ascension? About the King or queen mate thing?" I say surprised, he's more of a book worm then I am. He chuckles "yes I did but I thought that you would have at least read that.

 You know, since you were in line for the throne." He has always been a bit cocky, even towards me. That was one of the reason's we became friends. I remember it like it was yesterday. 

It was about a year before my mother died. It was the only time in my childhood when I was truly happy. Cato was young and idolized me, my mother & father were in love and happy, I was finally getting a real friend. 

We met on the streets, I was pretending to be an ordinary demon. He was scrounge around the gutters for parts of demon souls. Sometimes powerful demons left scraps of a souls or a unwanted piece of flesh like teeth or Brain.

 The Brain holds all of the awful intent and thoughts, so only some like it. Luckily I had a Lunch I brought. It had heart brocheta on baked skin with a water bottle of soul parts. 

Our cook came from Italy, I offered my Lunch to him and it kicked off our friendship. Every couple days I would bring him food, and we got closer. 

Edgar eventually found out I was the crowd price, but he accepted me and he showed me his ability. As soon as I was able to make my own army and forces I appointed him my general, not only does he have amazing ability's but he is a great strategist.

 He has never treated me as anything but a normal Demon. "What are you thinking about? You have that far off look again" I smile at him "I was remembering the first time I met you" He chucked "you were such a Kind boy back then."

 He pauses "I was so lost back then... Then you found me and helped me. You also taught me how to be a friend... And how to get a friend" he pauses and gives me a side smile "I know what you're going to say that I'm really corny."

 I reach over and punch his arm "you are a complicated guy but you have your moments when Sarah comes through" I chuckle and he puts on a offended look "I have always been like this, keep my mate out of this."

 Ever since he met her, he has gotten softer. It's funny, because I introduced them. He had just became my general and she was my maid that was also like a personal companion for me. 

She was 2 years younger than me, I decided to introduce them because he would be coming to my room. When I did they Jumped on to each other, literally I had to leave the room before I saw them fuck each other in MY room.

 Man I didn't want to see that. I hear light footsteps to my left, Ali is looking Dazed walking Down the Stains. I'm frozen. She will hate me! When she looks at me, tears start falling from her eyes. 

She starts running to me. She trips but she catches herself. I can't more. Is she crying because she hates me or...? She jumps into my arms which naturally opened up for her and her force from running makes me fall.

 She crying on my shoulder "I thought you were dead" She doesn't hate me? I slowly put my arms around her waist. "Cato said he was going to kill you!"

 Her breathing is staged in between sob's "Oh Ali" I pause "you don't hate me?" I ask tentatively she pulls away. Her eyes are puffy, her nose is runny with snot, and tears are running down her face like waterfalls, and yet she is still the most beautiful girl in the world to me.

 "How could I possibly hate you! You came to save me!" She goes back to sobbing on my shoulder "but what about me being a Devil?" 

She laughs a bit and whispering my ear "the horns kind of gave it away if, I had more time to think about it" I can't even think. She's ok with it? "So you're ok with being my mate?" She's silent for a minute.

 That minute of Silence rips into my heart that beats only for her. She looks up at me and says "we need to talk about that" my heart sinks. Seeing my expression she quickly adds "that's not a no but... you need to explain it to me" a glimmer of hope? 

Can I be so lucky for such a chance? "I promise I will, after I deal with some things down here in Hell." She put on a small smile "It won't take too long... Right?" 

She asks quietly I placed a small but heartfelt kiss on her forehead. "It shouldn't take more than a day. Do you want me to take you home first?" She slowly nodded. 

I changed into my Shadow form, she flinched slightly when I reach out for her. "I promise I won't hurt you" It hurt that she would flinch away from me... but I need to give her time. 

Even though she had flinched away, she let me put my arms around her waist. I had to bend down because my Shadow form is about 2" feet taller then my human form. 

"Close your eyes & relax" I felt her body go slightly limp against me. I look over to Edgar "tell Cato I will be back in a couple minutes" he nodded.

 I picked Ali up into my arms, she stayed relaxed but gasped, keeping her eyes shut. I shifted into Ali's room and lightly set her down on the bed. She opens her eyes, I feel like she could see through my soul.

 I change to my human form and kneel down on one knee so we are eye to eye. Ali looks scared for a moment "Don't worry I won't propose... Right now. But I need to tell you that I am totally and completely, in love with you" she gasps a little but she lets me continue.

 "I have waited for so long ... Decades, centuries even..." I pause trying to bring out the right words. 

"You are changing me back into the man I want to be... I love you and I'm very sorry for scaring you all those years... But trust me since I have met you I will never and would never love another" before she could say anything I changed into my shadow form. 

"I will be back in less than a day" and with that I'm gone. Back to hell. Now to deal with the succession of the throne. I shifted to my demon form.

 I am ripped with muscle, my big red bat like wings stretch out behind me, my horns are longer and bigger like big goat horns, my cat eyes even brighter red, my human skin is a little tan but in this form it's a light grey colour. 

I'm also as tall as my Shadow form. (Around 8 "3 ') which means all of me is bigger. This is the form where I can use all of my ability like telekinesis.

 'Cato I will meet you in the throne room' I send the message via the mind. "Time to face our father" I say to myself as I make my way to the throne room.
