Reflections

What's this? Crossed his mind as he saw Selene free Michael from his chains. He noticed the spark between them when the two locked eyes and they lightly kissed. Memories of his precious Sonja played through his mind. So Selene was very much like Sonja probably too much for Viktor's taste. A faint smile touched Lucian's lips, he would be dead soon but at least he would get to be with Sonja again.
Strange how history has a way of repeating itself. Sonja had been as cold and calculating as her father but that all changed the day he met her. Lucian had been chosen to watch over Viktor's own daughter. During that time to serve as protector to an Elder, Council member or an Elder's heir was considered a high honor among the Lycan slaves. She was so beautiful. Her long blond hair and her piercing gaze. She had been so cold at first but he couldn't stop his mind from thinking about her. As time wore on she began to warm up to her Lycan protector. She began to treat him as an equal instead of a slave. She gave him her love and he would never forget it.
Lucian remembered everything so clearly. Before Sonja, no Vampire would have ever considered taking a Lycan as a lover. Lycans were slaves, daylight guardians, nothing more than pets. The Elders and Council had forbidden the consummation between Vampires and Lycans. Fraternization between the two bloodlines meant death. He and Sonja knew this but somehow they didn't care. All that mattered was their feelings for one another. The day they had been discovered neither he nor Sonja thought that Viktor would actually kill her. Lucian didn't hold such hope for himself but had hoped that Viktor would allow Sonja to live. Alas, that was not meant to be once they found out about the child that grew within her. No, there would be no mercy for a Vampire that carried the child of a Lycan. The symbol of their love had turned into their death sentence. Now looking on Selene and Michael he saw almost mirror images of himself and Sonja.
Selene, the woman that Kraven covet, the woman that Viktor had chosen to replace Sonja was falling in love with a Lycan. All the years Lucian had spent planning and scheming to get his revenge on Viktor and finally at the end of all things it would be a Vampire that would carry out his wishes. A Vampire that Viktor loved like a daughter. He and Sonja could look down from a higher place together and watch Viktor's lies crumble around him. How poetic that Sonja's replacement would be the one to bring Viktor to his knees.
Lucian could have never imagined that Michael and Selene would find a connection, let alone embrace it. Yet there she was kneeling over Michael still trying to protect him. Lucian wished he had the strength to laugh at Kraven. Selene would never choose him no matter how many of Viktor's dark secrets he divulged. Thank you Kraven, by revealing the truth to her about Viktor, you only push her further into the arms of Michael. Lucian thought as he grabbed Kraven's leg. Smug bastard, I can't have you killing her before she carries out my wishes.
Kraven cried out as he felt the Lucian's blade pierce through his leg. The satisfaction of injuring the coward gave Lucian an inner peace. "Bite him," he whispered to her. Selene looked toward him confused but after a moment of thought she complied. Sonja retribution will be ours.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"You may have killed me cousin, but my will is done regardless," he says knowing that those words would be his last. I do wish I could have lived long enough to see them kill you Viktor. He thinks as the bullets pierce his body and his life drains away. Finally darkness takes him.
A/N: This is just my take on Lucian's relationship with Sonja and what he thought of Selene and Michael.
