“I’ll never lie to you, bunny.”

Uriel whined. “You promise?” she asked innocently.

“I promise.” My head dipped lower to meet Uriel’s lips. Her head leaned back, accepting my offer. “You are my girl, you understand? I’m your mate, and I’m going to take care of you.” She hummed, no longer paying attention as our small kisses intensified again.

Before my hand could slip down to her ass, I felt my father trying to communicate with me. Uriel moaned right as Father broke through.

“Lucifer, where are you?”

Pulling Uriel’s lip with my teeth, I replied sourly, “I’m busy.”I grumbled bitterly when he continued blathering on as my hand finally reached my mate’s ass.

“I need you back here. Immediately. We have a situation.”

Parting my lips from Uriel’s, she pouted. “I hope it’s good because I’m fucking busy.”I barked.

“Zeus is here, about Uriel.”

I growled out loud, causing Uriel to jump.I haven’t even told Uriel everything, yet. I guess now was better than ever.

“We’re coming.”

“So…” Uriel spoke as we continued to ride Absalom back to the palace. I had just finished explaining the entirety of the situation with the prophecy to her. “I’m in danger? Humanity is in danger?” Uriel sat behind me with her arms fastened around my waist as we rode.

I don’t think my poor dick could handle her ass right now. I was about to damn near explode.

“No, you’re not in danger,” I said flatly. “Not with me, or my father, here. You must never go outside the palace without me, or him, present. Do you understand?” I felt Uriel nod on my back as she lay against it. “Uriel? What did I say?”

Clearing her throat, her whisper of a ‘yes’ filled my ears.

“Will you ever leave the palace by yourself?”

“No. I won’t,” she replied.

“Good girl,” I smirked while feeling the wide smile on her face. She squeezed me tighter in her delight.

Doesn’t look like I’m going to need much of Ares’ videos. I think the bond will direct us just fine.

Dismounting and patting Absalom on the back, I grabbed her hand, and we walked to the palace. Uriel understood that Zeus and her mother were an item long before mates were thought of for gods and deities. My little mate was nervous about why the High God was requesting to see her. She mentioned briefly talking to him at the party the day before.

Hera must not know that Zeus is here. Maintaining Uriel’s distance from Zeus was the only reason she was allowed to stay here, in the Underworld. If Father is allowing Zeus to see Uriel, there was surely a reason. Mother’s empathy powers could sense people’s intentions, and Zeus must have an emotion that merits his presence in the Underworld and it must be vital to Uriel.

As we entered, a servant handed me a shirt to put on before we proceeded to the throne room.

Uriel made a face as I pulled it over my body. “Aw,” she muttered, disappointed, before grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together.

“What’s wrong, little bunny?” I teased as she skipped down the hall with me.

“Nuffin.” She covered her mouth to giggle.

Several large hickeys adorned her neck, at least one on each side. I smirked.

She has no damn idea and now everyone is going to stare at her as soon as we walked in. Mother did always tell me the bond is marvelous, so she, of course, won’t be surprised. If only I had listened to her sooner.

The double doors opened to the dark throne room, which Mother left ‘as is’ when she first moved into the palace to allow Father to emit his whole ‘King of the Underworld’ persona. Red candles lit the way to where Father sat on his throne with Mother in his lap. Zeus watched my father as Father’s hand beckoned us closer.
