Shackled (The Lord Series)

Chapter 62

62. Angel

“One day, when Go d was distracted by a conflict in another world, and Lucifer was in the Garden of

Eden, playing with the children, Azael led the angels there. Not wanting Lucifer to learn of his plan, Az

zel had the angels wait outside the garden while he went to kill Lucifer. Azael entered and went to look

for Lucifer. When Azael found him, he attacked him from behind and cut his wings with his sword

before stabbing him in the chest. Believing Lucifer was dead, Azael went to tell the other angels and let

them inside the garden.

“Lucifer, while greatly injured, managed to sneak away from the garden before a great battle started.

Many died that day, including Michael, Adam and Aya. The Garden of Eden was destroyed, and the

humans had no place to live. G od, while not being the one to create the humans, had learned to love

them and created Earth, which resembled the Garden of Eden very much, with the idea that one day

the human would live there. He sent Eve to take all humans to Earth.

“Raphael, Eden, and the other angels and demons living in the garden remained behind, trying to

repair the damage done to it.

“Lucifer, greatly wounded and betrayed by many of his demons, returned to Hell and closed its gates,

not letting any of the traitors enter.

“Azael, together with the angels and demons that were now following him, tried to enter Hell, but when

they couldn’t get past Cerberus, Lucifer’s dog, they decided to go to Heaven. When they got there, they

found the gates of Heaven also closed and Go d waiting in front of them. Furious with them for trying to

kill Lucifer and

“But there were conditions

“The females would lose all their divine powers and be bom as human women on Earth, and if they

learned to love men and marry them, they would be forgiven. The males would not only lose a great

part of their divine powers but would also have to find human men who would accept to let them share

their bodies while they searched for women to anchor themselves to them less they would be lost to

the darkness that followed from losing their bodies. Azarl complained it was more difficult for the males

than for the females as no humans would agree to let demoes or angels dwell within their bodies. And

that no woman would accept them. To placate the males, G od granted a special bond between those

that were may repented of their wrongdoing. The females would be the other half of the males and

would be called hellstar-the light to their darkness. The rest of the males would find mates among the

human women.”

Alekos fishes the story and waits for me to say something. It is the first time I heard it, as my father has

never mentioned anything like this as I grew up. If it is true, then everything we know about the creation

of men is a lie. What other things are hidden from us? Why do only men know about this and women

don’t? There are so many things I don’t know. “So you are saying I am one of the angel or demon

females reincarnated in a human?” Alekos nods, letting me know that I am right.

“You do know how crazy that sounds, right?” Are they on drugs or should I believe them?

“That me, we know. But it is the truth.” Alekor insists.

“So how does this work? I accept you and badaboom, we suddenly return to our famer lives?”

Alekos laughs. “No, we live our lives on Earth as humans, and when we die, we will either be granted

access to the Garden of Eden or left to wander alone for eternity. Depends on our deeds in this life and

if our mate-you-accepts us. So you either condemn or save us.”

I want to spit in their face and tell them to f uck off but I should not fight evil with evil. “I have a hard

time believing what you are saying, but I can’t deny the strange phantom masks and red eyes you two

had earlier

“When the bond is repaired, and we take you to the Blood Lodge for your piercing ceremony, you will

see that everything we told you is true,” says Reyes.

“Why are piercings so important for the Lords?” I ask so I can keep my mind busy.

“All Ladies have them and it represents the commitment and love between her and her mates. You will

be no exception, especially since you are a hellstar. Do you know how are your kind are?” asks Reyes

“No.”

“The last group of blood bachers to have nor was bro hundred years ago. We thought no hellstars

remained, and the rest of the Lords and Duker would have to find their way to the Garden of Eden with

the help of human women. But here you are.” Alekos runs his fingers up and down my arm.

“The Dukes,” Reyes replies almost immediately.

And the Dukes will always say that the Lords are the bad ones.

Stefan enters the room holding a towel with ice against his cheek. “I haven’t seen someone came been

wrong about you not being worthy of being our bonded.”

Another that likes to play mind games. “Did the punch affect your brain or something?”

Stefan’s features soften.”No, but I can recognize when I have made a mistake.” He grabs a spring mill,

and suck me.”

What the f uck is wrong with Stefan? Just minutes ago, he glared at me i disdain, and suddenly, he is

Stefan picks up another spring roll. “Well, she is our hellstar, isn’t she?”
