Lilith regained consciousness a little disoriented. Opening her eyes, she focused on her surrounds, noting she was not in her bed. The familiar heat of Zelda's arms draped all over her body was comforting, the redhead right hand firmly pressed over her naked breast.

In two seconds her memories came back. Last night she was sat on her couch, peacefully drinking some wine, while doing endless paperwork to that idiot Hawthorne. Suddenly, a deep sense of urgency froze her and she knew, from the bottom of her heart, that Zelda was in mortal danger.

She acted on instinct, what resulted in a stupid injury, that almost cost her human body. The werewolf was just an average warrior and in different circumstances, she would have easily dominated him. By good luck, when she was bleeding to death, the unexpected assistance of two old friends avoided a shameful defeat.

Severely hurt, Lilith lost her senses, but she could still remember Zelda's blood bringing her back to life. The wounds were healed, however she still felt weak, probably by the lack of food and water.

Turning on the bed, she faced Zelda, realizing how tired she looked. Even in sleep, her brow was furrowed and the skin around her eyes were puffy as if she had been crying.

Despite the physical signs of exhaustion, she was still the most beautiful creature Lilith ever seen and a foreign sense of protection invaded her heart, like waves crashing on rocks. Never before she had someone to love and protect, someone to be called wife or family.

Tentative fingers caressed Zelda's face and the redhead signed, blinking a few times. Lilith's heartbeat faltered when those gorgeous eyes looked at her, Zelda's face changing to that soft expresion, only reserved to Lilith.

"Oh darling, how are you feeling?"

"Like I have been knocked down by a werewolf." The brunette smiled, stretching her back languidly. She felt herself being hugged tightly, as a hot mouth descended upon hers. She tasted salt on Zelda's lips, before a delicious tongue invaded her mouth, as if the redhead has been starved for centuries.

Lilith responded in kind, turning them, until she was on top, attacking a delicious neck. Zelda's blissful skin always drives her crazy, so she sucked her pulse point as the redhead closed her eyes, caressing Lilith's scalp. The brunette smiled between kisses, sensing Zelda's need. "Someone would think you missed me, my love."

They kissed for a while, Zelda's hands exploring Lilith's naked back, eager to be sure she was all right. "Don't you ever scare me like that again, I thought I had lost you."

Lips traveled down to Zelda's smooth chest and Lilith admired her lover's breasts, all her thoughts vanishing, as liquid desire inflamed her veins.

The redhead signed, pushing the brunette away gently, her voice trembling in need. "Love, we can't do it now, you're pale and you lost so much blood. You need to rest and not to…" Zelda's words were cut by her own moan, as the brunette's mouth found a niple.

Feeling more like herself, Lilith murmured between kisses. "As soon as I have you, I'll be fine again… and I can feel your need."

After a brief moment of concern, Zelda gave up, not until her hands caressed Lilith's shoulder and chest, as if to reassure herself there was no signs of the deep wounds that almost took her lover away. "I was so, so worried about you. You have no idea."

Lilith's eyes were warm, as she raised a hand to stroke Zelda's cheek, sweetly caressing her mouth. "Look at me, I'm fine and I'm sorry it happened that way. I know how terrified you were, but I can't die, darling." Tilting her head, she winked. "I would have missed my human body if you hadn't give me your blood, but I would find a way to come back to you… even Lúcifer would have a hard time if he decided to destroy me."

They kissed slowly, Zelda's arms tightening their grip. They gasped at the delicious feeling of their breasts touching, and Zelda melted in Lilith's arms. "I don't think I can live without you anymore, Lilith."

To Zelda's surprise, a single tear fell from the brunette's eye. "I'll always come back to you, no matter what."

"Kiss me". The love in Zelda's eyes was like fire inflaming Lilith's senses. Hands traveled down on Lilith's back, grabbing her ass, their groins deliciously pressed together. They moaned in unison and Lilith felt greedy, hungry for something only Zelda could give to her.

Lilith's tongue invaded the sinful mouth with no mercy and Zelda opened up to her, in more ways than physically. Lilith could feel her, like every cell of her own body had been filled with Zelda's essence. Lilith's moved her hips, seeking contact, her orgasm surfacing in long waves. Zelda's loud moans and scratching nails at her back while coming were her undoing, and she also came, biting Zelda's neck to avoid a scream that would probably wake up the house.

Entwined, as they breaths came back to a normal pace, they waited for the firsts rays of the sun, announcing a new day.

…..

They descended the stairs holding hands, just to be greeted by a smiling Ambrose, already waiting for them, comfortable in his robe. He took a sip from his coffee mug, raising an eyebrow to Lilith. "You're so lesbian right now, using Zelda's clothes."

The demoness looked at him with a ironic smirk. "It was that or nudity, but I don't think your aunt would be able to resist me during breakfast." His smile was even wider and Zelda rolled her eyes, thinking about Lilith's dark sense of humor and how it was perfectly fitted for their family.

She hurried past them, heading to kitchen, eager to see how Leticia was enduring her absence, however, before she crossed the door, she heard Ambrose words. "In this case, keep the clothes on or you'll scare our guests."

Turning on her heels, she saw Lilith's attention turn to the living room. Zelda's voice faltered as she inquiried her nephew. "What guests are you talking about, Ambrose?"

Lilith didn't need to hear the answer, as the flood of power traveled like waves, hitting her chest.

The fallen angels, Akbar and Virna, were sat on the couch, dressed in their black battle armors, weapons visible at their backs. It had been a long time since she saw them, but they were as magnificent as ever.

As soon as she entered the room, they stood, showing their impressive height. Akbar was a six feet tall giant, with dark hair, sharp black eyes and wide shoulders, while Virna was softer, but still very tall to a woman, her blond hair pinned up, showing her beautiful features. They bowed their heads in respect, as Lilith approached, but only Akbar spoke, his right hand in his chest.

"Greetings, Emperor. We are honoured to be in your presence."

Lilith could feel Zelda's troubled eyes at her back, her worries justified, at the sight of such powerful creatures. Smiling to Akbar, she answered. "I'm in your debt, centurions, I would be defeated last night, if it was not for you both."

Virna took a step forward, looking at Lilith with respect. "How many times did you saved our lives, commander? We are the ones in eternal debt."

It was Lilith's time to offer a grateful nod. "May I ask you where is your leader?"

They looked at each other, silently, before Akbar took a object from his belt. Lilith was surprised to look at the fallen angel's power insignia, resting in his larges handes. "Eudora send this token of peace." he extended his arm, putting it in Lilith's hand. "She says you should only accept it, if you finally broke your chains."

Lilith took the heavy gold necklace from his hands, looking at the symbol of the fallen leader. Only the great commander could use the pendant - bright wings, carved in a circle of âmbar and gold.

Zelda and Ambrose were still at the door, trying to understand the meaning behind the gesture.

Hands trembling, Lilith looked up at the impassive faces of her centurions, the warriors who once followed her in any battle. She couldn't believe in her ears. Were they really giving her back the supreme commander of their army?

Virna's strong voice answered her questions, as if she had voiced them out loud. "The fallen angels have only one commander. Maybe you have forgotten where you belong to, but we were there, always waiting for you."

Nodding, Akbar looked at Lilith, his dark eyes hardening with pure intent. "We understood your actions in the past and we choose to follow you now." For the first time, he smiled, but his grim was hard, almost feral. "We waited in the shadows, but now we are ready to follow you again and victory will be ours."

Lilith wouldn't be more surprised if the sky opened and the false God offered her the command over his own angels. Silently, she lifted the gold chain to her own neck, the so familiar coldness giving her the comfort of homecoming. The insignia rested above her heart and she could feel it's power already increasing her own.

The fallen knelt in front of her, their heads bowed, accepting her command. She touched both of their heads in a silent blessing. "Stand up, centurions."

They stood motionless and Lilith knew they were waiting for orders. Looking up for Zelda, she nodded. "I will meet with Eudora, at the witch hour. Tell her to bring my personal guards. I will be waiting for her in my circle of power, into the woods."

The fallen angels nodded, but waited to be dismissed. Lilith turned to them once more. "You will guard this house and the Spellmans with your life. Sabrina is not strong enough to fight against our enemies. If anything happens to our queen, all our efforts and hopes will be wasted. Did I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Emperor." They said in unison. Lilith nodded, satisfied.

"You're dismissed."

As soon as the soldiers left the room, she felt Zelda's presence at her back, her face a mix of concern and affection. Zelda took Lilith's hand in hers. "Are you alright, darling?"

Lilith smiled at her, bringing their joined hands to her own lips. "Well, it looks like Sabrina has an army, so, yes, I'm feeling pretty well."

Ambrose's eyes were amused. Still sipping from his mug, he tilted his head. "You know aunts, I can't wait to know if I have any special benefits, considering I'm the queen's hot cousin."
