Chapter 46

Ana

After Christian left everyone else showed up. The huge apartment suddenly felt incredibly small with 16 people which included six children and ten adults. Luckily all the babies had fallen asleep so they had quickly been placed in the cribs. They still had the two cribs even though the twins preferred to sleep together which came in handy for Ella.

After they made sure the babies were all tucked in and happy, Ana picked up the baby monitors they had yet to use and they made their way back down the stairs to join everyone else.

As they walked in to the lounge area she noticed that Huldah was moving furniture around. "Errr Huldah, not sure if I want to know the answer to this, but what are you doing?" Huldah looked up from her bent over position blowing hair out of her face.

"Well I had this great idea after seeing Christian watching you the other night when we went to join his bachelor party. Oh yeah I noticed the hungry way he was looking at you while you were wiggling your sexy little ass. Sooooooooo I thought we could do a dance for him at the wedding." She stood with her arms out smiling with her eyes wide and looking a mixture between unsure and hope.

Before Ana could say anything everyone else was up and jumping around in excitement, the men all sat on the sofa watching with amusement. The only one that seemed horrified with this suggestion was Ana. "Nooooooooo it's not happening I can't do that, what if I mess up or fall. Nope sorry not happening. Nope not doing it."

She sat down her arms folded refusing to look at anyone she was getting the sulking thing down perfectly thanks to watching Christian do it so much. When no one spoke and she could here the guys sniggering next to her she finally lifted her head to see all the women stood arms folded looking at her. "What/... I can't dance I'm not doing it sorry. If you guys want to do a dance feel free but I'm not doing it." She looked back down feeling herself crack under their stares.

"Ana quit being such a baby. We have a trained dancer here who can show us an easy dance to do. I have the perfect song it will be easy because most of the time you will be dancing on Christians lap. Come on it will be amazing, Christian will love it. He has made sure you have your dream wedding, in a week might I add. Lets do something for him to show how grateful you are." Ana just closed her eyes knowing after Huldah said that she could never say no, for fuck sake.

"Fine." She huffed and crossed her arms again full on sulking Christian was definitely rubbing of on her. "I'm not doing it with the guys here so you call all leave please." She turned to see all their faces drop with disappointment.

"Oh come Ana we will be watching it tomorrow anyway." Elliot whined but Ana was not changing her mind on this.

"I don't care I am not having you guys sitting watching me make a fool out of myself so of you go." she waved them all up, to get them moving. They all stood with a grumble she noticed Apollo looking at Kate with a look of disappointment and Lust hmmmm. She looked over to Kate who was looking down a little but then looked up to smile back at Apollo. Ohhhhhhhhh she was flirting she had never seen Kate around a guy before so this was new, she would for sure be asking about that later.

The guys all said their good byes before they left the girls alone. With the kids watching a movie in the spare bedroom apart from Ava who was sat on the sofa watching Kate try to teach them how to dance and look sexy doing it. Which for someone as clumsy as Ana wasn't easy. Thankfully a lot of the dance included a chair so it made a little easier. After a few hours of dancing, a few accidental falls, a few glasses of wine and a lot of laughs later, they had the dance down perfect.

After the dancing they all decided on a pamper session and were currently all sat around with facemasks on. Doing each others nails or more like Huldah was doing everyone's nails. She was so talented in so many different things.

They had sat for hours before they all decided to go to bed and try and get some sleep. Luckily their beds were huge so they could easily sleep three of four people. They did have another bed but Ana didn't think it would be a good idea to offer the bed in their play room to anyone. Nor did she think it would be a good idea for her to sleep in their and have someone come in to get her in the morning.

Lying in bed Huldah and Kate sleeping next to her both fast asleep Ana was lying thinking about everything that happened the past few weeks. It was insane to think just a few weeks ago she was single and the only thing she had been worrying about was not having a social life. Now she was living in a penthouse apartment with twins and getting ready to marry the love of her life tomorrow. All of that on it's own was crazy without all the supernatural stuff added to it and yet she had never been so happy. Smiling she closed her eyes feeling like a kid on Christmas eve with the words her Mom would say when she was a child playing around in her head. "The sooner you go to sleep the sooner it will be morning" and with that thought in her head and a smile on her face she finally fell to sleep.

Christian

Sitting on his throne surrounded by his brothers he had to admit he had missed this. He just wished he had his Queen beside him where she belonged. He had already spent hours handing out punishments to those caged waiting to hear their fate.

Some had been sent to the other levels of hell to be punished by those under his brothers rule. Some had been allowed freedom but that was very rare and for those who had committed minor offenses. The punishment for those who committed more heinous crimes were sentenced to his favourite form of punishment something Ana would have found barbaric. However tonight he would take great pleasure in handing this out, especially to the demon who was in front of him now.

She had been caged for the crime of influencing new Mothers to sacrifice their new-borns, in his name. When he had found out about what this vicious bitch had been doing he knew that this was always going to be her fate. You see in the demonic world a lot of laws and contracts are written on the skin of demons who are sentenced to the fate that he was about to hand down. It was the perfect punishment as demons heeled so quickly, they had an endless supply.

"Gello, you have been detained for the crimes against innocent children. Crimes you committed in my name. What do you have to say for yourself?" She stood in front of him saying nothing. Her black eyes filled with hate. Her mouth missing, and in it's place she had razor sharp teeth constantly snapping at nothing. Black drool running down her chin. Even he had to admit to a human she would be terrifying. Her skin however was smooth which was why she would be such a good candidate for this punishment. Her leathery wings hanging from her body broken and torn. She had spent so long in the small cage hanging around the throne room that she was now huddled over unable to stand up straight.

He took great pleasure in her misery especially now that he was a father. He could never imagine anyone wanting to hurt such a small innocent pure being. He could read this bitches thoughts though, and it made him sick at the pleasure she took in watching the women who brought those lives into this world snuff them out without a second thought. When she said nothing he continued.

If you have nothing to say for yourself I will hand you your sentence. You will spend eternity providing the materials we will need for out contracts and laws. You will spend the rest of your existence being skinned alive."

He turned to address the room LET IT BE KNOWN I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY HARM COMING TO ANY CHILDREN BY ANYONE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE MY WARNING JUST KNOW THAT YOU WILL SHARE THE SAME FATE AS GELLO." He turned back to Gello who was looking at him with so much hatred, but all it did was make him smile at her. "Now Gello what do you have to say?"

She just sneered and screamed spit flying out of her mouth all over the floor. Christian stepped back in disgust. "Take her away I know longer wish for my presence to be tainted by such filth." She was dragged away by his guards screaming and flailing around trying to get free.

"I WILL GET MY REVENGE LUCIFER. YOU ARE NO KING OF MINE. I WILL GET MY REVENGE ON YOU, MARK MY WORDS." He grew tiered of her shouts and with a flick of his wrist her mouth was sewn shut.

After a few more punishments he and his brothers were sat drinking and enjoying the celebratory atmosphere in the room. He knew celebrating things like punishment may seem somewhat twisted but it was the demon way. As he was sat laughing and drinking with his brothers they were approached by a blonde that he knew well. "Elena how can I help you?" He really didn't want to deal with her sickly sweet advances right now or ever again for that matter.

"I noticed you didn't have any female company, and well I thought I would come to see if I could be of any assistance along with my girls of course." She smiled as she waved to the kneeling women behind her.

He looked away from them to look back at his brother shaking his head they all seemed as uninterested as he was with the ridiculous display in front of him. "No Elena nor will I ever be interested in what you are offering. As you know I will be getting married tomorrow. I am no longer available to any woman other than my future wife."

Elena just smiled and started walking up the steps to his Throne. He stood making her steps falter for a second before she carried on. When she reached him she began running her hands up his chest in what he was sure she would think was seductive and alluring. When in actual fact it made his skin crawl and bile rise in his throat. He never wanted to be touched by any other woman ever again other than his Ana.

Grabbing her hands he held them tight in his fists, she obviously didn't notice the look of disgust on his face as she stepped into him a little more. "Come now my Lord, you and I know she won't give you what you want. However we know that I can and have since the beginning. It will be our little secret" She leaned into kiss him and he had hit his limit.

Still holding her hands he shoved back causing her to fall on the floor. She watched as he turned into his other form. He could see her cower in fear as he grew taller and wider his massive wings stretching out behind him. Crouching down in front of her he got right in her face "You think she can't give me what I want?... She took me in this form. Something no one, not even you has ever been able to do and she did it gloriously. She had the darkness in me fucking purring under her touch. She is made for me. She is all I will ever need or want and the next time you speak of her you will do so WITH MORE FUCKING RESPECT DO. YOU. FUCKING. HEAR. ME? "She was looking down visibly shaking now and he fucking loved it. This bitch thought she was going to try and disrespect his fucking world she was fucking mistaken.

"Yes my Lord, I'm sorry I just thought I would offer you some company my mistake." She stood now trying to gain some composure but she was being watched by the entire room who had already witnessed her cowering at his feet.

He had already stood after getting his point across. He watched as she stepped down the steps and stood with her girls still kneeling behind her they were all looking up at her with a look of confusion and fear on their faces.

"Will your men be in need of mine or my girls services my Lord?" With that Beal stepped forward.

" None of us will be in need of your services Elena you have disrespected not only our Brother, YOUR King but you have disrespected someone we already consider to be our sister, and someone who from tomorrow will also be YOUR Queen. I speak for myself here but no doubt my brothers will agree, I no longer wish to be in your company. I would like to suggest Brother that she be removed from the festivities. Her girls however can stay and offer their services to the many around the room if they wish." Beal was looking at Christian now and Christian couldn't hide the smile on his face at what his brother had just said. He knew how much Ana had come to mean to them all but to hear him stand in a room defending her he couldn't have been prouder.

"I couldn't agree more." He turned back to Elena smiling a wicked smile that grew bigger when he saw the outrage on her face. "Elena you are free to go, you are no longer needed here." She was screaming her outrage and his smile was growing bigger and bigger knowing that she was sealing her own fate. If she didn't turn her ass around and fuck off.

"Elena do I have to put you in a cage and give you time to think about the words that are flying out of your fucking mouth." She instantly stopped, which he was disappointed about. He would have loved for her to continue so that he could watch her humiliation at being hung in a cage, for all those she has spent her existence thinking she was better than to witness her epic fall from grace.

She stepped back bowing at the waist still with the grimace still on her face. "No my lord I will take my leave." She stood ready to shimmer out but no way was he letting her go that way.

"You will walk out of here Elena. Let others witness what happens to those who disrespect their Queen." She looked up at him her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to protest but knew that what ever she said would more than likely get her locked in a cage. He was begging for her to give him just one excuse, just one to punish her, but she said nothing. She shut her mouth and turned to walk through the laughing and whispering crowd her girls had stood and moved back looking down and refusing to meet her gaze. Well it looked like she had been abandoned by her girls he thought with a laugh.

He watched and said nothing until she finally left the room. Everyone cheering when he held his drink up in mock good bye to her. The girls that had been with Elena moved around the room looking for someone they could entertain. He sat back down taking a drink yeah he definitely needed this tonight.

A few hours later he and his brothers decided to call it a night not wanting to stay in his chambers down in hell they all returned to earth to spend the night in the many apartments that he and his brothers owned. He wanted to at least sleep breathing the same air has Ana and his babies if he couldn't be with them.
