The chills going through my body from his touch rock me to my core, and I immediately turn and put my hand on his throat, slamming him against the wall. His eyes widen in a surprised amusement as a smirk adorns his flawless face. My eyes widen in shock at the fact I just slammed the devil against the wall by his throat.

My cheeks burn as I realize how close I am to him. How my stomach and heart flutter as the kiss from before flashes through my mind. Staring into his haunting red eyes, I immediately itch to kiss him again, my body begs me to. My body riots against my mind as Lucifer studies my eyes as if he could see the war going on. 

"Thana, if you are going to do something, do it," Lucifer's eyes darken as his words tease me. I clench my jaw, and my hold on his throat tightens, causing the fire in his eyes to grow. 

"No," My tone is firm as I take a step back from him while keeping eye contact. He studies me as he pushes himself against the wall and fixes his suit. 

He runs a hand through his hair as he watches me. A moment passes between us before he finally speaks, catching me completely off guard. "Thana, why are you not with your former lover?" My eyebrows furrow at his random question. Which former lover, why did he even ask. Did he think that is why I am so hesitant with him?

"Why would you even ask that." I glare harshly as my guard goes up, not sure what Lucifer was playing at. Then Lucifer mirrors my confused expression.

"I've read your past lives; two of your past lovers are angles. Most lovers reconnect in heaven. Why didn't you? You were close to one of them but never got together, and now you have nothing to do with him." Lucifer tilts his head as I see wheels turning as he tries to solve the puzzle himself. Then his eyes widen. "You didn't know, did you?" 

"Know what?" I ask cautiously. The feeling of being broken rising in my stomach. What else could I possibly not know? 

Lucifer hesitates for a second as if he regrets speaking of it. "Don is Bain form your past life." 

My ears seem to ring as emotions cloud my thoughts. Don knew me for half a century; he knew who I was but never told me his past life; he never told me I was his lover. Then after hell and almost a century later, he makes a pathetic move on me. The flames of rage and disgust flicker inside of me, as I quickly turn my back to Lucifer and leave the room. My skin burned as it tried to take in the information, bitterness roared and grew at yet another fucked up detail of my life.

"Thana, wait, where are you going?" Lucifer is hot on my heels and grabs my arm turning me to him.

"I'm going to find Don," I snap, and a frustrated look takes hold of Lucifer's face. 

"You still love him?" Lucifer states in complete shock, a hint of betrayal in his voice, causing me to look at him in confusion though my heart skips a beat at his jealousy. 

I raise a brow before giving a smirk of my own. "Awe, is the devil jealous of an angel?" I say in a mocking tone causing Lucifer to glare at me. 

"Don't even insult me like that," Lucifer scoffs as he crosses his arms over his chest. 

I want to laugh at the sassy devil, but my rage burns brighter. I turn from Lucifer without saying a word, and he lets me go.

I arrive at the gates of heaven at the same time Avalyn does. She flashes a smile my way as she walks to me, her large white wings on full display. 

"Hi, Thana." 

I quickly jump to why I am here, not wanting to waste another moment. "I need to speak to Don," Her eyes widen at the urgency in my voice. "Now."

"Oh," Avalyn states quickly with a nod of her head as her cheeks redden from embarrassment she then quickly rushes through the gates.

Moments past and Don rushes through the gates, a gleeful smile on his face. "Thana, I'm glad you wanted to talk." 

My hands instantly clench into fists as I study him, he looked nothing like Bain, though I looked nothing like Navi. Yet he was still Bain, and I was still Navi, different vessels, same souls. 

"Was it hard?" I ask curiously as I let my wings back into my back. I look into Don's eyes as confusion filters through them. 

"What?" His words are entirely clueless about the knowledge I obtain.

"Was it hard to not tell me you were Bain? You knew I was Navi, so was it hard to keep that information a secret for all these years?" At my words, Bain's face pales, and he takes a step back at the eerie calmness in my voice.

"How did y-"

"It doesn't matter how I know," I sharply interrupt, I make sure to keep my voice steady.

"No." Don firmly states, "It wasn't hard because I didn't want you to see me in that way, I didn't want to be your dead lover, I wanted to be the new one." 

I laugh out loud at the irony in his words. "Yet you still didn't save me when I needed you too. As always. You stood by silently as they sent me to hell." I tilt my head as I mock him; he glares a harshly at me. 

"Damn it Thana, will you get over your self that was like eighty years ago," Don grumbles as he rolls his eye and crosses his arms over his chest in a defensive stance. 

I snarl in disgust, "Yet it feels like it was only yesterday I was thrown in there," I harshly yell. "Goddess, you haven't changed a bit, the king that could never understand the peasant's tears," I spit, causing Don to groan and pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration. 

"This is why I didn't want you to know who I was Thana. I didn't want to live in the past, but no matter what happens, you're stuck in it." Don yells as he throws his hands up in desperation. 

"Maybe it's because I was never given a chance to recover, every time I thought I was getting my happy ending, the gods yelled plot twist!" I huff, "Then I was thrown in hell and relived every traumatic thing that ever happened to me and then some, over and over again for half a century!" Black smoke leaves my hands in frustration. Don eyes my hands before speaking.

"You caused your own downfall in our lifetime, and you know it. You hid from me. All I wanted was my mate." I shake my head at Don's words. The selfish bastard, Truly the mind of a former king.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't pretend that everything was okay. I was more than a mate. I was more than a king's mate; I was a person before I was ever your mate. But you didn't care; you were too obsessed with the idea of a mate." Don glares harshly at me. "I might have been stuck in my own hell with the door wide open, but you were stuck in your own made-up fairytale that you locked yourself in," My words cut deep as Don flinches from them he looks at me in anger and hurt. His hands fall to his sides as they ball into fists. 

"I wish they had kept you in hell, you evil bitch." Don spits, and a smirk instantly takes over my face as darkness surrounds me. The monster inside me is eagerly showing her face.

"That's Evil Queen for you peasant," I correct and raise my hand, but before the darkness can leave my fingertips, a large hand clasps over mine. 

"As sexy as you are losing your shit, I think we should leave." My eyes widen in shock at Lucifer. He smirks at me before putting his hand her my chin and closing my mouth, making me realize my jaw had dropped. "I promise I will take care of him," Lucifer states as he motions to Don, "In due time, but for now, we must go."

Don's eyes widen. "Thana, don't let him corrupt you."

I use my hand Lucifer is not holding and quickly point towards Don, letting darkness shoot out, hitting him, his body is thrown back into the gates of heaven. I look to Lucifer, who gives me a pointed look. 

"I'll escort you home." I raise a brow at him. His wings break from his back, leaving no room for argument. I let my own wings out and follow behind him to my home.

The reapers look at me in confusion and Lucifer in fear as he holds my hand, leading me to my cottage. I'm into much shock to care.

I spot Morana, who looks like a kid in a candy shop as she grabs Bora's arm and jumps in excitement. Her smile widens even more as she realizes we are heading to my cottage. "Yes! My best friend is about to get laid by Lucifer! Go best friend, Go best friend!" 

I see Lucifer chuckle as he looks at me with a smirk, his laugh gets more profound as he sees my red face. I desperately want to be dead right about now. I glare harshly at Morana, but she is too excited and oblivious to it.

My body is hot from embarrassment as I hang my head as if I could disappear.

We make it to my cottage, and Lucifer stops at my door. "As much as I would love to accompany you to your bed," Lucifer trails off with a smirk as my face burns in embarrassment. "I have some business to take care of," Lucifer grabs my hand and kisses my knuckles, before winking at me. He then turns and walks away until he flies off towards hell. 

Disappointment fills my body at his fleeting back. I tilt my head slightly as I observe his nice ass. 

"Thana, don't stare too hard you might burn holes into it," Morana giggles and I quickly look away with red cheeks. She smirks at me, and I instantly want to go inside and lock myself in. Maybe torture myself over the emotions I have with Lucifer.
