“Okay.” Wren shrugs, a smirk pulling at her lips. “It’s your funeral.”

Lucifer narrows his eyes on his daughter before shaking his head and brushing off her words. “Where are we going, Wraith?”

“Just grab hold, and I’ll get all three of us there,” I tell him, biting my lip to hide my smirk when he rolls his nose up in disgust. “I’d rather you arrive with us and not ahead of us. Audrey…well, she can be a little reactive, and she’s likely freaking out right now. The last thing I want is for her to try to take your head off during your first meeting.”

He scoffs. “I can take whatever she can dish out. Just tell me where we’re going.”

I exchange an amused glance with Wren as I tell him the address. As soon as he’s gone, Wren breaks out into giggles.

“Is it bad that I’m kind of glad he went ahead of us? I get that he’s our dad or whatever, but if he’s going to underestimate Audrey like that, he kind of deserves it.” She shrugs. “It’s probably best that he learns it now. If she was standing here when he brushed off my warnings?”

I snort. “I almost wish I could see her react to that,” I admit. “But we should probably follow him so she doesn’t get into too much trouble.”

“I guess.” Wren hesitates, her hand hovering over my arm. “Will we still get to go see Mom?”

“I don’t see why not. The two of you are his kids. If you want something, then you stand a better chance of getting a yes than the rest ofus. Even if we can’t do it today, I’ll make sure you and your sister get to see her.” I make a face. “No matter how much trouble I end up in with Luc.”

She offers me a soft smile and a nod as she lowers her hand to my arm. I pull us into the shadows, wondering what we’ll find when we make it back earth-side.

Chapter Three

Audrey

Ihate waiting.

Yes, I’m impatient. I’m aware of this, but it doesn’t change the fact that I really hate waiting around. I’d much rather be doing something.

Especially when my head is such a mess as it is right now. I have so many questions and no answers.

I am not a fan.

The air flickers around me, and I freeze before spinning on my heel and sending hellfire toward the man who just appeared in the living room.

I smile as a look of shock flitters across his face moments before it hits him, but it quicklyfalls away when I realize it’s not damaging him. It just seems to be circling him.

I have no idea who the fuck this man is, but he fits tall, dark, and handsome to the tee.

“What the fuck?” I mutter as my mates come crashing into the room.

“Umm…pretty girl, why are you throwing hellfire at Lucifer?”

My mouth drops open, and my hand falls to the side. My hellfire doesn’t immediately return to me or disappear. No, it seems to be dancing along his limbs.

“Did you just say that’s Lucifer?” I ask Donovan, eyes never leaving him.

“That would be me,” Lucifer says with a smug grin before dismissing the hellfire. “And you must be my other daughter, Audrey.”

“That’s still to be determined,” I can’t help saying, eyeing him suspiciously.

He just laughs. “Oh, there’s no doubt about it. You’re my daughter. I’ve already met Wren. She said you were powerful, but I’ll admit, I didn’t expect you to be quite so strong.”

I wrinkle my nose. There’s nothing I hate more than people underestimating me, but considering he’s a god—and apparently my dad—I bite my tongue.

“Donovan. Cassian. It’s good to see both of you again. You, I don’t know.” Lucifer’s eyes narrow on Brenden.

I grab his hand, squeezing it. “This is one of my mates, Brenden. He’s currently teaching at the academy.”

“Hmm…just how many mates do you have, daughter?”
