The Broken

Chapter 6: The Unforgettable Moment

All I could think about was last night and how for the first time my mate made love to me, sure it was hot passionate and rough s** but hey I was being beat and for once it felt like we where together. I started to day dream of him and I in bed after our wedding making love and no one around to interrupt us. I sighed and smiled while looking in the mirror without realizing my Step-Mother and soon to be Mother-in-law where talking to me.

"Earth to Ombre!" I shook my head and looked at them "you need to start getting ready, what where you so deep in thought about, we have been trying to get your attention for almost an hour now." My Step-Mom sighed and rolled her eyes at me. 

"Sorry, I was just thinking about..." I blushed and looked at my hands 

"You where thinking about your mate huh?" My soon to be Mother-in-law smiled at me as if she knew. 

"But, now you have my full attention, I wont day dream again." I smiled and they both looked at me and laughed. "uhuh" they both looked at me smiling. "we will believe that when we see it, dear." and with that they started having the people come in and do my makeup and my hair and do some touch ups on my dress. 

I couldn't help but hope that Prince, soon to be King after today, Lambereth would love my dress and find me very beautiful, It took all the way up to the wedding to get ready, everyone was already coming to the castle and waiting to watch the royal marriage. I became so nervous after they handed me the bouquet of roses to me and my Step-mom who was so kind to walk me down the isle sense my own Father was banished, was standing next to me.

She looked at me and smiled "Are you ready Ombre?" 

I looked at her and sighed "I am so nervous what if he changes his mind. What if I cant speak and I get nervous, What if I forget what I wanna say?" She took my hand and laughed 

"Ombre if you can face your own Father in front of Thousands of people you can do this, you are brave Ombre Valencia Delacour, you shouldn't fear anyone or show anyone fear. You are going to be wonderful dear, and I am sure your Mother is looking down at you and smiling." a tear escaped my Step-Moms and my eyes, I hugged her and thanked her. When the music began, I turned and wiped my face and nodded for the doors to be opened. I started to walk in and saw all the smiles of everyone.

I was getting ready to step on the stairs when I felt the hairs on the back of my neck raise and my Wolf growled I froze and the next thing, I felt something hit me I spun around to find men and some woman entering the castle and destroying and pushing people against the wall, the men had horns and so did the woman and that's when I knew we are in trouble. 

I felt something cold on my dress and looked down and saw blood, I looked up at Lambereth and smiled as tears welled up in my eyes. I collapsed on the ground as blood was soaking my dress, I felt someone rush to my side, but couldn't make them out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in the hospital trying to figure out what was going on, my vision was blurry. I tried to blink it away and tried to sit up but felt pain shoot through my body. I was pushed back down from what I assumed was my mate, My vision cleared and I looked at him confused. "What happened?"

He frowned and looked over at the sofa where someone was laying down, I squinted and noticed she was a beautiful woman. I looked back at Lambereth with confusion. "Who is she? What's going on?" He frowned and watched the woman sleeping finally roll over and smile and stretch than saw me.

"Oh she's awake, thank the Goddess! this is all my fault I should have controlled them and I am sorry." She looked at me with embarrassment. When it finally dawned on me this was her fault! 

"Someone better start talking" I looked at Lambereth who wasn't making eye contact with me or the woman "Who are you!" I yelled and started to get up, Lambereth tried to hold me down but i smacked his hand away and pulled the IV out of my arm. Stood up and looked at the woman who backed off head bowed. 

"I-I didn't mean to hurt you" She backed against the wall fear taking over her.

"Who are you?" I glared at her and went to attack till his words caught me by surprise.

"She's my first mate, Ombre." He growled and looked away from me.

I froze and stepped back "That's not possible, you wouldn't have been able to find a new mate unless she was dead or unless she.." I sucked in a breath and looked at Lambereth, who seemed hurt. "You broke the bond with him, you caused my people a lot of pain! WHY?" I started screaming at her.

"Because I loved someone else, when I was around it wasn't right for Vampires and Wolves to be together, I didn't want to be with the soon to be King. I fell in love with the Prince of the damned." She swallowed looking down.

I stared at her "Why did you come back?" I swallowed as I dreaded the answer she was about to give me.

"He finally didn't want me, he said there's someone else more powerful that he will claim and want that I was nothing but a means to an end." Tears sprang to her eyes "I didn't know it was to late to try and win Lambereth's heart back." she sat back down in tears.

I stared at her and than at Lambereth waiting for him to say something, but he didn't even look at me, he just watch the girl in front of me. For some reason right than my heart cracked a little something was pulling away from me and I couldn't figure it out. I grabbed my clothes and went to the bathroom and dressed, and came back out looking at both of them. 

I moved in front of Lambereth "Do you still love her?" he looked at me and than looked someplace else, which made me angrier than anything before, I slapped him as hard as possible and stepped back "I Ombre Valencia Delacour.." I hesitated and closed my eyes and paused hoping he would stop me but he didn't even budge "Denounce you as my mate." I felt something break inside of me even more and I turned to where I could see them both "I also, denounce any ties with this clan, my pack and I will need you no more and will find our own way, same with all Wolves cause trust me where I go they go." With that I turned completely to the Woman and leaned over "Also, just so you know, you made an enemy of me." I felt everything in me change and go cold I stormed to the door as I saw Lambereth buckling to his knees as if he finally was hit with the breaking of the mate. I stormed out and saw Jenaveive, Vanadeen and my family. Tears sprang to my eyes as the Doctors tried to get me to go back in the room.

"Queen Ombre, I must insist on you going back and..." before he could finish I cut him off.

I held my hand up and looked at him with a dark look "I am not your Queen and I refuse to be in a hospital before heartless creatures." everyone gasped and I saw the King and Queen look at me with confusion.

"You can thank your son we have no ties to your people, him and I are no more! all because he is still in love with his first mate who he takes back he broke me first and I felt him pulling away." with that I turned and anger took over me I could feel something changing deep in my heart and loved how it felt. I stopped and turned around once more "Oh! I forgot, our alliance is broken and I want nothing to do with your kind!" I stormed out of the room with my friends and family, we began packing our things and all Wolves started to leave with us. 

"Ombre, where will we go?" Queen Jessabelle looked at me confused on what is going and also, seemed concerned.

I smiled what I am assuming was a cruel smile sense she back away from me "We are going to the City of the Damned." She cringed and looked at me with horror.

"What's there? we cant go there we will surely be killed!" I smiled at her and hugged her.

I pulled away and smiled "We wont be killed" 

"What makes you so sure?" I looked at her and watched all my people waiting for me to answer. 

I smiled "Just trust me I have a good feeling that we will be welcomed among the Demon King." 

We started to travel and leave, we left without having to fight the Vampires and left without anyone stopping us, we traveled a long distance while taking breaks and eating and taking care of the children, sense children cant shift till they hit the age sixteen, they would ride on there parents back or someone else's back if there was to many kids. We made it far before I noticed everyone was tired, I felt like we where closer to the city of the damned, but decided as the Queen I needed to think about my people. 

"We will rest here!" everyone sat down and started to set of camp, I walked up the hill and decided to set up someplace no one was at so I could be at peace and figure out where I went wrong. 

"Ombre?" I turned to see my two brothers staring at me as I was just sitting holding my tent not moving, deep in thought. "Ombre, here let us help." they took the tent and in a few minutes they had it up and ready for me. "I am sorry, we are sorry you lost your mate" they sat next to me and hugged me.

Tears sprang to my eyes and I finally let my broken heart out. "I don't understand, what did I do wrong to him? Why did he choose her over me?" I cried and cried as my brothers tried to soothe me till I felt no more tears all I felt was defeat and hatred. "We should probably go check on the people, and get you some food. Alright Ombre?" I stared at them as they waited for an answer.

"I am not hungry I just need to be left alone, thank you though." with that I waved them off and sat up there watching, I decided I would go for a run and cool off a bit I shifted and started to run towards the way we would have to go to to find the King of the Damned. I ran and ran until finally I stopped and smelled something, I couldn't place the smell and I felt my heart skip and my body started to tingle. I shifted back to my human form and looked around confused. "Show yourself!" I demanded and looked around my heart skipping a few beats, I felt fear and excitement all in one.

"You have no rights to command me here, little girl." out stepped a man who was the most beautiful man I have ever seen, he had red eyes and horns but a body of a human, and had muscles that you would die for. His eyes looked me up and down and he smiled "Its rude to tease." he laughed

I looked down at myself and realized I was naked but didn't bring any clothes, I also, didn't wanna move and be killed. "I-I didn't bring any clothes.." I looked at him "and I am no tease" I backed away from him as he go closer to me and felt my heart race. He took his jacket off and put it over me and left his hands on my shoulder and leaned in and smelled me, I felt sparks that felt like a thousands volts where shooting through my arms and without thinking let out a moan. He seemed amused by how weak he made me feel.

"Oh, how you smell lovely mate!" he gazed at me for awhile trying to read me and than stepped back letting me go in the process, I whimpered and fell to the ground feeling weak under him. 

"What brings the Queen of the White Wolves here..." he sniffed the air "and the Queen of the Wolves" he watched me coldly as if I was up to no good. "I thought you had a mate?" He watched as my face fell and he laughed. "Oh, dear, the King of the Vampires found the gift I sent?" he made it sound like a question but I knew he wasn't asking.

I frowned and looked down as tears sprang to my eyes, my second mate is the King of the Damned who is he gonna leave me for. "Do you have another mate? or had another mate?" I asked in a whisper afraid of what he might say. I felt him move closer to me and kneel in front of me.

He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him "I have never had a mate before or how I like to call it a little slave." he winked and laughed as I cringed and felt every jolt in my body every time he touched me "Now, little girl, the question is are you willing to sacrifice your soul to me and become my Queen and my slave?" He held tighter to my chin waiting for an answer.

I felt everything anyone has ever done to me break me and I feared that he would do the same to me. I decided that I didn't care anymore that I was done caring. I looked into his eyes "I accept" with that he laughed and gave me a dark smile, that made my skin crawl "But.." he stopped and looked at me "I want my people to be able to join your clan." he looked at me and c****d his head to the sighed and looked at me than he nodded.

"So be it, he yelled for one of his men "Barthelme, go and great her people and bring them to our Kingdom and settle them in the village, with some food and water." He looked at me "happy now?" I nodded my head and kept my face down, for some reason I feared him more than anyone, his presence was powerful, more powerful than me. 

He stepped up to me and picked me up bridal style, sparks started spreading everywhere and heart started skipping so fast I felt like I was going to pass out, it was like he was a drug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head into his neck and placed a kiss on his neck, I felt his body shiver and heard him groan, which excited me even more than before. 

We finally got inside his castle where he set me down, I looked up and saw that this castle was bigger than any castle I had ever seen before. I saw pictures lining up and looked at them in amazement.

"Cason?" he hollered he watched me as I looked around.

I let go of his jacket without thinking about it and without caring and started looking at pictures of him and what seemed his family.

"Yes, your majesty?" Carson stepped out of no where and bowed and gawked at me and than turned back, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Please, have some food ready for us.." he paused and cleared his throat "Is there anyone I should have brought to the Castle, little girl?" I turned around and looked at him 

"My family, and my two friends." he stared at me and nodded than looked at the Butler.

"Do as she says and set rooms up for all of them." the Butler bowed and left and started ordering servants around and guards around. "Shall I show you to our room?" I turned towards him and nodded, he walked over and picked me up again in bridal style and took me to our room that was luckily on the second floor. The guards opened to big doors for us and closed them behind us as a huge room that looked like its own apartment, he took me into another room inside and laid me on the bed. He looked at my neck and frowned, I instinctively lifted my hand to my neck and sighed and looked away.

"I can change that you know?" He moved my hand and moved his body on top of mine and pushed my arms over my head and held them there "This might hurt" I nodded as he leaned down and bit me in the spot that my first mate marked.

I screamed as I felt like I was on fire, like my whole body would explode, tears spilled everywhere and the pain intensified. Next thing I know I passed out. I woke up and felt some pain on my neck I sat up really quick and groaned as pain shot through me. I looked around confused when I tried to remember where I was. The door opened and in walked the King of the Damned he brought a cup over to me and handed it to me "here this will help with your head and stop the pain." I took it and took a sip and cringed.

"I made sure you where completely released as his mate." his eyes flashed purple and he stood up. I watched him as he started to pace. I finally looked down and realized I was in a dress.

"W-W-who dressed me?" I looked at him and he stopped pacing and smirked at me, like I made a joke.

"I did. By the way your family and two friends are here settling in dinner will be ready in a few more hours." He came over and say by me "What happened to your skin, Ombre?" my eyes got big as he said my name, I didn't realize he knew my name. 

"What do you mean?" I looked at him confused trying to figure out what he was talking about. 

He grabbed the cup out of my hand and put it down on the night stand next to the bed and grabbed my wrist and yanked me up like I was nothing. He shoved me in front of the mirror and turned me around and ripped the dress off of me, I yelped and looked at the ground not wanting to see what he was talking about. "Look in the mirror, Little girl!" his voice came out harsh and demanding to the point I cringed and tried to move away from him but he just yanked me back in front of the mirror. He grabbed my chin and turned me to the mirror, I closed my eyes not daring to look at what he wanted me to see "LOOK!" he yelled at me and I  slowly opened my eyes and looked as tears sprang to my eyes. I flinched at all the marks my first mate left on me, I saw the ugly that I was becoming. I turned to look in the mirror and stood there looking at the last mark I had gained from his own ex mate who he chose over me I stared in the mirror hatred taking over. My eyes went red as fire and the next thing I knew the mirror cracked all the way down and shattered it. 

Tears spilled from my eyes "What happened to you, Ombre?" He spun me around to face him, when I looked into his eyes all I saw was anger and sympathy, I never thought it was possible to see a powerful man, not to mention The King of the Damned to have sympathy. 

"My mate was abusive when we first met, h-h-he did it because he believed his first mate was killed by Wolves..." I paused and leaned against the King, I realized I didn't know his name "What should I call you so I don't have to refer you to my Mate or The King of the Damned, unless you want me to?" I wiped my eyes and played with my hands.

He grabbed my chin and lifted it so that I was looking into his eyes "You, may call me Lucifer." He kissed my cheek "now please continue." He pulled me over to the bed and sat down pulling me down to sit next to him. 

I shuttered at the thought of telling this story, knowing that Lucifer was a powerful and treacherous man "There's not much to say, he was cruel till I stood up to my Father and helped him earn everyone's trust, I brought all creatures together.." I thought about it a second and than looked at him "how come you didn't come?" I stared at him curiously.

He started laughing, he had a beautiful laugh one that would draw anyone to him "They never want me around, Vampires hate me little girl, I am the most powerful being in existence. Why would they want me and my people around?" His laugh darkened and I saw the pain behind them.

I sighed and continued "I banished my Father who used to abuse me as well, who killed my Mother..." I tried to hold the tears back but they came flooding down my cheeks "after that Lambereth became gentle and kind and we where supposed to be married but his ex mate kicked the doors in and a piece hit me and almost killed me, she said it wasn't on purpose but I feel that she did it to harm me." I frowned and looked down.

He started laugh and grabbed my chin and held it as he got close to my face "She did do it on purpose!" I stared at him confused, he caressed my cheek and smiled "oh, beau naïf, petite fille. She was mad because I released her and didn't want her anymore, I felt something bad in her something I didn't like and also, realized her intentions.." he grimaced " she only wants power but I told her I didn't want her I..." before he could finish I put my hand over his mouth.

he c****d his eyebrow at me "you wanted the most powerful woman at your side." I took my hand off his mouth and smiled "unless in reality you wanted your mate?" I stood up and looked at him "but why did she try to kill me that makes no sense I would have married Lambereth.." I frowned as I could not figure out what I did or how I have wronged her.

He stood up and grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him "because Ombre, she figured it out, I didn't want her, because of you..."  he paused trying to decide how he was gonna say this "Do you really think, King Lambereth chose her over you? No, he was to stunned to answer you. You broke his heart, now he has no mate his second chance left." He smiled and let go of me as if he said something funny.

I shook my head and gasped "That's not true, I-I.." I fell to the ground tears coming to my eyes as I realized what I have done, I sold my soul to the Devil and left a man who was in love with me, all because I was being selfish. "I-I broke him" a tear fell once more as the Devil watched smiling as if he could careless about the situation.

"Ombre, my little one, what if I was to tell you that he has another chance?" He smirked at me as my head shot up and I looked at him. "What do you mean?" I crawled over to him grabbing his and looked at him "that's not possible we only get two mates in our lifetime." I stared at him trying to figure out what he meant.

"Ombre, you never had a mate." I stared at him confused "I erased almost everything he did to you, making you back to what you where..." He smiled "a virgin, also making it to where all your marks are gone, once I take claim to your body, you will have given him another chance to mate." he grinned and I saw his eyes flash with lust and than back to anger. 

He stood up and went to the closet pulling out another dress for me, he came back over to me and yanked me up "I do believe dinner is served, so arms up." I did as he told me and he stuck the dress on me and leaned in and kissed my lips.

I moaned as his lips made my heart stop, he pulled away and smiled and pulled away grabbing my wrist and yanking me out of the room. I followed behind him entranced by his touch, I felt powerless next to him like he was draining every inch of me. We walked into what seemed to be the dinning room where plates laid he walked to his seat and pulled a chair out next to him, I sat down and he pushed my seat in. I heard talking and my friends and family walked in.

"Ombre, we where so worried about you!" Jenaveive smiled and sat next to me

"For real you, disappeared without a word and just left us, shame on you, didn't even ask us to come." Vanadeen sat next to Jenaveive and laughed at my facial expression. 

My Mother sat on the other side of the table next to Lucifer and my sister Adora, Skyla, Josey and Julia sat on her side staring at me with questioning looks, looking nervous. Amell and Angus sat on my side next to Jenaveive. 

Lucifer, stood up and looked around "Is that everyone?" he smiled and looked around as everyone nodded and mumbled "amazing, let the feast begin." with that said food was brought out and everyone started to dig in, I sat there watching in awe as the looked excellent, but I couldn't get myself to grab anything. Lucifer looked at me and stood up and walked into the kitchen and brought out a dish for me and placed it in front of me, he had steak, potato's, fruit and vegetables the same thing that Lambereth did for me. I hesitated and looked at him, he nodded and watched me, I grabbed my fork and knife and started to eat the food. My family watched me and c****d there heads trying to figure out what I was doing. The next thing I know they pick up there silverware and try to do the same, after a few tries they finally got it. 

We sat in silence I finished my food after everyone else, I placed my fork and knife on the plate as a servant came and grabbed the plate. Lucifer stood and pulled my chair out, I stood up and stood by him waiting "Why doesn't everyone join me in the sitting room, I would love to get to know all of you." With that he grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him, my family stood and walked behind us. 

We entered a huge sitting room that had books and its own little bar and a tv, I looked around curiosity getting the best of me, when Lucifer pulled me to a couch, he sat down and pulled me down on his lap. I flinched preparing for him to hit me or abuse me like Lambereth did he leaned close to my ear where I could only hear "I wont hurt you, Ombre, unless you give me a valid reason." with that he pulled me close and smiled. 

"Ombre, tell me who everyone is." everyone sat down and looked at me as I cleared my throat and started with my Step-Mom.

"This is my Step-Mom, Queen Jessabelle." She nodded "These are my two Brothers Amell and Angus, they are twins." they stood and bowed "This is Josey the one with long black hair, she is one of my Half-Sisters" she stood and curtsied "my sister Julia, she is the one with freckles on her face, she is also my Half-Sister." she stood and curtsied "my other Half-Sister Adora, she is the one with green eyes." she stood and quickly curtsied and say down "This little lovely Half-Sister is..." before I could speak Skyla giggled and ran over and grabbed his hand "I is Skyla, I am this many!" she held up four fingers, I held my breath as she smiled up at Lucifer, he looked at her with something I couldn't pin point.

"Skyla!" My Step-Mother called her name "I am so sorry, your majesty she has no filter like some." she looked at me. 

He held his hand up and smiled "She is fine" he set me on the floor to stand and picked up Skyla with what seemed of longing, and curiosity. He held her in his arms looking at it trying to figure it out, I couldn't help but smile as Skyla giggled as he poked her face. "Extraordinary little thing" his eyes got big as Skyla smiled and hugged him. He flinched, but hugged her back awkwardly. Skyla scooted off of him and ran to her mommy giggling. 

Lucifer started to tap his fingers watching the little thing touch everything and be chastised by the Mother "Carson!" he yelled for the Butler.

The Butler came into the room "You call your majesty?" he bowed and smiled at him.

"Please, show Skyla, to the play room and have a maid play with her." with that the Butler nodded.

He turned to the little girl and smiled "Lets go find some toys for you to play with, shall we." with that they left the room, my Step-Mom gave him a thankful look and smiled. 

Lucifer stood up and walked to the bar and started making some drinks for everyone he smiled and handed them out to everyone. "So, how is everyone liking there rooms?" he asked he handed me a drink and sat down and pulled me onto his lap. 

Everyone smiled and said they loved them, we drank and talked the rest of the night, getting to know each other. Lucifer seemed relaxed with everyone and a lot different than the stories told I wondered if he could actually care about me or if he was as cruel as everyone says. 

All I could say was that what has happened in the last few months will be unforgettable and this is a start of a brand new chapter, and soon I'll have my answers and revenge on all who went against me. I felt my heart tear more and more as my thoughts went to what Lambereth's ex mate did and how he didn't even speak up he just let me go like I was nothing. How cruel can that make someone, I frown and leaned against Lucifer as I slowly drifted to sleep in his arms as he talked to my family without realizing how tired I was. I knew that my life would begin with him and I would find my place next to him. Queen of the Damned side by side with the King of the Damned.
