Slave To The Darkness - Chapter 286

“Wait. Are you saying that my best friend is a spy for you? I don’t understand why would you make your Son go through this?” Cedric had a look of shock on his face and was floored by this information.

“I was not spying on you, Lucifer, but on your uncle. I needed to report back to the King and Queen. You see, my little sister needs people that will be able to trust when the time comes, and I wanted to get closer to you in hopes that I could help save my loved ones. You are my best friend, and that will not change anytime soon. I want to help you in guarding both my sister, but also with guarding you. Bearer of fire. I already know a lot about you, and there is a reason I can withstand the pain of the experiments. That is because I am like you; I cannot perish. I am Yuki’s Guardian. Way before we met, I became hers.” Claude steps into the doorway. “You, my friend, look like shit.”

“Shut it. If I wanted to hear commentary from you, I would’ve called you. I cannot believe that I did not put two and two together. No wonder you wanted to be my so-called friend.” Cedric glared at Claude.

“Hey now, man. That is not it at all. I am happy to be your friend. Just because you do not feel like that now, and it is not like that, I can blame you. There have been many times when I wanted to tell you everything, but do you think that you would listen to me?” Claude looked at Cedric and sighed.

“No, and I do not know if I can trust anything that you say right now.” Cedric pulled on the chains.

“And that is why I never said anything. It looks like the bond is about to break.” Claude looked at the outline on Cedric’s ċhėst fade in and out, “here is the thing, Lucifer. Yuki cares about you so much that when we had to send you back to your uncle’s place, and you had come smelling like blood, Yuki would go into a rage. Did you know that she destroyed a few rooms when you would come reeking of blood? Yeah, I know that you had a shower after the experiments your uncle would do on you. That was when she begged me to go and see what was going on. Oh, yeah, Luna requested me to go as well. I really went at my sister’s orders. Sorry, Mother, but Yuki was the one that ordered me first. Those experiments are the worst.”

“Fine… I-I for-give you….” Cedric spits the words out in between the pain, then collapses, and everything goes dark.

~Memory Ends~

Cedric held Yuki and waited for her to come to and looked at the two that were sedated. “How are you two feeling?”

Adam looked down and smiled at Naomi that was snoozing on his knees. “Sedated, content, calm, happy. There are just too many emotions to feel right now. I think the most important emotion is that I feel like my other half is in front of me. Yuki was definitely right.”

Naomi cracked her eyes open and looked between the two guys. “I am happy, I know that Yuki was worried that I would be alone for the rest of my life, as my love for her is deeper than anything else, but my feelings for Adam are growing.” She looked up at him and gave him a shy smile.

“You would think that after everything that we just did, you wouldn’t feel embarrassed.” Adam leaned down and kissed her cheek. “It does seem unfair to Lyla, but Yuki had said that if we were true mates, she would not be able to leave.”

Yuki listened to the conversation as she came from the memory. Tears were falling from her closed eyes as she could still feel the pain that Cedric had to suffer every time that they had to break the bond. “I merely stated the truth. Lucifer, I am so glad that you no longer have to suffer through that pain.” She thinks for a moment before finally asking the question that was on her mind from that memory. “Did you make up with Claude after that?”

“Yeah, I forgave Rafe. It is not like I could condemn him for following orders, especially when they came from his bearer. I would be an ȧsshole if I didn’t let it go, but for a while, I gave him hell.” Cedric thinks back and smirks.

“As much as I know right now, is it okay for me to be hearing all of this?” Adam looks at the two, then looks at Naomi.

“It’s fine, you are becoming a part of the core members, and if you do become mine, then no one will complain. You don’t have to worry about it.” Naomi reached a hand up and touched his cheek.

“Yes, as Nao just said, you do not need to worry. You are becoming a core member, and you will be a great addition to the crew. You and Sephira will be my guards. Furthermore, you will be accompanying me when I have to go out as Liliana. I am sure this will be so very entertaining. Love, can I have my phone?”

Cedric whispered the words, and her phone appeared in his hand. He handed it to her. “If you are thinking of making a meeting with her, could you make it in about an hour outside of the company?”

“Sure! I take it that there is something that you need to do at the company?” Yuki scrolls through her phone contacts and stops at the one labelled bitch. Then presses call.

After two rings, Claudia quickly picks up the phone. “Oh dear Liliana, I was not expecting you to call me. What can I do for you, dear?” she asks in a super sweet voice.

“Hello, Auntie. I was wondering if you might have some time for tea today? Cedric has too much work to do, and I am getting bored.” Yuki pouts and acts sweet and innocent, causing the people watching to have to cover their mouths.

“Of course. Where do you want to go? I would offer you to come to the office, but if you want to go to a different place, I am happy to leave the office early.” Claudia walks right into a trap that Yuki set without much effort.

Yuki smirked then hesitantly started speaking, “a-are you sure that you can do that? I thought that you had an important job in the company?”

“I do, but I do want to spend some time with you. I’ve finished all the important meetings for the day.” Claudia started to shuffle the papers on her desk.

“Oh, well, if that is the case, I will take you up on the offer then. I was thinking that we should go for high tea. I hear that there are many good locations. Do you have a favourite one that you like?” Yuki fist pumps and looks Cedric in the eyes as her eyes sparkle.

Of course, there is a lovely place on third avenue called Lily Garden. I like that place as it is rather lovely, and we could have a wonderful time. Will you be bringing anyone with you?” Claudia asks curiously.

“I now have two personal guards. I will be bringing the male one since the female one is unavailable. She had an emergency with her partner, I believe, but I do not know the details. I just know that she will be coming back in a few days. Cedric decided that since I would want to go out, he should hire me, two guards.” Yuki exposed her neck to him.

Cedric pretends to come into the room and had the door slam. He nuzzled her neck and looked at the phone, “Who are you taking to love?”

“Hello, Dear, are you all done with your work? I am talking with your aunt.” Yuki gives him a look of mischief.

“I will book the place for us, and you can Cedric that I will be stealing you for a few hours.” Claudia spits out vehemently.

Cedric starts kissing her neck and causes her to squeak in surprise, then Cedric took the phone from her, “if you do anything to harm one hair on her head, I will have you killed. Now I need to treat her well before I send her off to the wolf’s den.” Cedric bites and sucks on her neck, earning a small mȯȧn of surprise,

“You are insatiable. Just make sure that you have her and the Lily garden on time.” Claudia says this, then slams the phone shut.

Cedric starts laughing. “Well, that was very entertaining, but little does she know that this is but a trap. Naomi, you will be coming with me to the office. I will need you to work with Sophia.”

Naomi smiles and nods her head. “If that is what you need me for, then I have no complaints. I will, of course, comply to my King and Queen’s orders.” She finally sat up in the mad outfit, righted the clothing, and sat in Adam’s ŀȧp. “You will take care of Yuki, or else I will hate you.. She is essential to me.”
