Chapter 10

**Cilia

*“I don’t want to hurt you, sweetheart.” Jeremy says.
I know he doesn’t, but rules are rules. Talking back to our masters is frowned upon. I can’t help but welcome the pain and darkness. Something about how Jeremy handles the whip makes me want to defy him.
“I’m sorry, Master.” I whispered.
“No, I don’t think you are.” He said, tightening the collar around my neck.
“I…” I started but he attached the chain to my collar and jerked me to him. My nipples hardened against his chest as he captured my lips. The kiss wasn’t like before. It was gentle and passionate. He pulled away and cupped my cheek as he wrapped the chain around his fist.
“Fuck me, Master.” I begged.
I’d been begging him for weeks.
“No. You know I can’t. He’d kill you if you were tainted goods. Then, he’d kill me too.” He murmured.
“I don’t want anyone else. Please… I want it to be you, Master. It’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

I shook the memory from my head as I sunk my teeth into my slave’s neck. Ever since I’ve been turned into a vampire, the memories have been more frequent. I felt the slave grow weaker as I drained her blood.
“Remember, don’t take too much.” Allesandro whispered behind me.
I retracted my teeth and licked the blood from her neck.
“Now, feed her your blood to heal her. We feed. Heal. Then, erase her memory.” He informed me.
“Is that what you did with me?” I asked.
“Yes, it was better if you didn’t remember the pain.”
I bit into my wrist and held it to her mouth. “Drink, darling.”
I fed her my blood to heal her and looked deeply into her eyes like Allesandro taught me. “You will go back to your room and remember nothing. All you remember is that you came to bring me my dinner and went to bed. You will dream of good things.”
“I will dream of good things.” She repeated.
“Go, darling. Rest up. Tomorrow is a new day.”
The slave left the room, leaving just Allesandro and myself. I turned to him and he smiled. “You did good, love. A natural.”
“Where’s your brother? I’m feeling quite playful at the moment.”
He circled my waist and pulled me closer. “He’s taking care of something for me.”
I raised a brow.
“He’s trying to compel information out of Jeremy.”
“The memories… their starting to come back more.” I told him.
“Of you and…”
“Yes. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to hide anything from you.”
“Good. I need to tell you something. I have a prisoner… a woman. She’s dangerous… a threat to you.”
“Who is she?”
He sighed. “Lilith. Just know that she is being dealt with.”
“She’s like us?”
He shook his head. “No, she’s far worse than us. In fact, she’s from hell. Enough about that, I’m suddenly in the mood for some playtime.”
“Oh yeah, what did you have in mind?”
His lips curved into a smirk. “I want to play with my obedient servant.”
“Mmm, Master. Shall I get on my knees for you?”
“That’s a start.”
I sunk to my knees and peered up at him. Desire and lust clouded his crimson eyes as I tugged on his pants to free his cock. I wrapped my hand around his shaft and stroked him softly.
“Yes, just like that, my pet. Stroke me gently.”
“Started the party without me?” I heard Dante say as he entered the room.
Allesandro chuckled. “No, I was just getting her warmed up for us.”
Dante stood behind me and guided my mouth to take his brother in my mouth. I sucked the head and moaned as Dante forced me to take more of his brother’s cock.
“Fuck,” Allesandro hissed. “Such a good little servant taking Master’s dick.”
“Help me.” I heard a feminine voice call out to me.
I pulled back and frowned.
“Why have you stopped?” Allesandro asked.
“Someone is calling out to me.” I murmured. “They want me to help them.”

**Dante

I knew who it was. Fucking Lilith really will stop at nothing to mess with our heads. Even had the nerve to use our mate to get to us. I still don’t know why she’s still breathing.
“Ignore her.” I told her.
“Ahh, fuck. It hurts.” Cilia cried out, holding her head.
“Go check on her.” My brother told me.
I sped down to the cell where we had Lilith. She was humming a tune as she met my glare. I wish we could just kill her. But… Allesandro says not yet. Not until we use her to take the curse off Jeremy.
“Stop messing with us, Lilith. Stop with the games.” I growled.
She closed her eyes and opened them again. Her normal ones were gone. All that was there now was white. No pupils. Just white. Her demon eyes. The Lilith Allesandro talked to was long gone. She hummed the melody and rocked herself. Almost as if she was trying to block something out. That’s what I do when I don’t want someone hearing my thoughts.
“Lilith!” I growled.
But it was no use.
Whatever she was doing wasn’t good.
The room shook and thunder clapped in the distance.
The lightbulb flickered.
And then, everything went still.
“Dante.” Lilith gasped. “You have to help me. Please.”
Never in all my years had I heard the Queen of Hell sound so desperate. So scared. Nothing frightens her. Not even Lucifer. So, if she’s spooked, it’s bad. Very fucking bad.
“They’re coming and soon. They’re coming for all of us.” She whispered.
“Tell me who.” I pushed.
“You have to help me. If I die…” Lilith collapsed and her body went limp.
I cursed under my breath and rolled my neck. “Lilith, so help me God, if this is a trick, I’ll kill you myself.”
I unlocked the cell and picked her up bridal style, taking her to the infirmary. The human doctor blinked as if he didn’t understand why I’d brought him a demon. He knew what she was.
“Fix her.” I demanded.
“My Lord, I-I don’t know if…”
“Fix her! Do your best.”
“She’s a… demon. The demon of all demons.”
“I know and that’s why you have to try. Please, doctor.”
It would be bad if she died.
Because if she did… all hell would break loose.
There would be a new leader.
And his name would be Lucifer.
It all makes sense.
This had nothing to do with the witches.
This had to do with him wanting to get Lilith out of the way.
This was an assassination attempt on the Queen.
As long as she lives, she rules the underworld.
I pulled out my phone and dialed Jaxson. “Get over here now and bring your mate. Her powers are needed.”
“What’s happened?”
“I’ll explain when you get here. Just bring Lana.”
“But she’s barely trained. She can barely do a simple locator spell.”
“I know, but things have changed. There was an assassination attempt on the Queen of Hell. You best bring your father too.”
“I’ll be there soon.” He told me, ending the call.
Lilith gasped for air as she opened her eyes. “He’s here on Earth. He’s come for me.”
“Who?”
“Lucifer and he’s walking in someone else’s skin. Not his true form. He’s…”
Her eyelids fluttered and body went limp once again. There was no use in trying to wake her again. It wouldn’t work. I have a feeling this was going to be a long few days. Lucifer was walking the Earth in search of Lilith.
The doctor blinked unsure of what how he was supposed to keep her alive.
“Type O negative blood. Feed her an IV tube and see if that helps. If not, come find me and I’ll find one of the blood donors to give her their blood.”
I knew one thing for sure, Allesandro was going to be pissed.
