Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 200

Erika

"No-no-no, you can't die on me, Lucifer!" I shout and feel the panic grow within me. "Please, please open your eyes!"

As expected, Lucifer's eye remains closed. His muscles have gone slack, and darkness and power don't ooze from his pores anymore.

Is he dead?

We are still connected through the mate-bond, but his heartbeats are weak and fading away.

I don't want him to die, but everything seems hopeless.

No matter how much I tap on Lucifer's scales, there is no response from my second mate. I'm holding on to the horns sticking out of his back. Levi is in the background, trying to grab my attention by chuffing, but my heart is aching too much to let go. "No..." I whisper in a heartfelt voice. "You got to get up and free yourself..."

I told Lucifer I would never accept him. I wanted a future with Levi, but that doesn't mean I wished death upon Lucifer!

I'm unsure how I felt about him, but we made love, and when we did, we were one. Connected. Together. It might have been in a dream, but I know how soft his lips are-I can't forget!

"I know we had our differences, but you came back for me in the end! You challenged Beelzebub!"

Tears pool in my eyes while Beelzebub buzzes in the background. He seems to be celebrating his victory, the sick bastard. I glare at him, knowing I can't defeat him, but I don't have to. Leo's howling fills my ears, and within moments, water magic restrains Beelzebub-it must be Blake!

Immediately, Beelzebub lets go of Lucifer, and I fall with him to the ground countless feet away. Levi is helping Leo and Blake, but I can't leave Lucifer's lifeless body.

The battle continues behind me, and I hear Beelzebub lifting himself to be chased by the two dragons and Blake in the skies.

I don't pay them any attention.

I wander over to Lucifer's head, crying. He isn't moving, and I place my hand right over his closed eyelid, stroking the area.

I catch a faint movement and freeze when Lucifer speaks to me inside of my head with a weak voice breath.

'I wasn't strong enough to defeat him...'

My tongue darts out to wet my lips. "You don't have to defeat Beelzebub. The others are doing that... The Snowmoon pack is here, and Leo will take care of it... You just rest."

I say those words, but Lucifer and I both know he is dying.

He is already fading into the atmosphere. Those scales of his are fragmenting, yet he doesn't mention that for my sake. Instead, he uses his last dying breath, trying to make me smile.

'I got to see you naked in real life. You're beautiful, especially your perky breasts,' Lucifer chuckles inside my head. 'There is no better view in the entire world. You're a gorgeous mate, Erika. Beautiful. I can die happy knowing I protected you.' I laugh at him. "Pervert, and you're not dying-"

I don't get to finish my sentence. Lucifer is already gone, and my chest constricts. My hand is leaning against nothing, and I fall to my knees. The last fragments of Lucifer are taken by the wind.

My heart shatters, and I sob while standing up to watch Blake, Leo and Levi defeat Beelzebub.

Together with the pack, they beat him: Leo smacks him to the ground, and countless werewolves bite into his skin, ripping him apart with the help of some vampires.

Evan, Raphael, and Stella are there. Not Nora, because she is pregnant and everyone is celebrating.

Everyone except me.

My eyes are focused on the ground, and I barely register what is happening. People are shouting and hugging each other while I just want to disappear through the floor. "Erika?"

I lift my chin and notice Levi walking up to me. His face is shrouded in shadows. I can't read him and keep staring until he towers above me, smiling faintly.

"Are you okay?" He asks. "I know you didn't want Lucifer, but I bet it must feel... Hard to lose him since you never rejected him."

Ha.

Hard doesn't begin to describe what I'm feeling. My soul feels like it's been ripped apart into a thousand pieces. I'm unsure of who and what I am, and the worst part is that...

The worst part is that... Maybe I wouldn't have rejected Lucifer if I had been given a chance to get to know him. He saved my life and paid for it by giving up his own.

Lucifer wasn't all bad, and he was a passionate lover. He was not selfish in the slightest when he pleasured me.

More tears gather in my eyes, and before I know what is going on, Levi embraces me in a hug. My naked skin against his naked skin, and his large hand stroking my back-that's all it takes for me to give and finally weep like a little child. "He didn't have to die!" I shout. "Lucifer didn't deserve that!"

Levi holds me tighter. "I know..."

"He saved me, and then... Then he disappeared! He was here just a moment ago, Levi! It's not fair!"

Levi continues to brush my hair and hold me tight, but my heart won't stop breaking. I'm in pain, and the worst part is that I don't know how to make it stop.

Do you ever stop missing your mate after you've lost them? Lucifer and I never finished the mating ritual, yet I can tell my soul has lost something fundamental to function.

It feels like I've died a little bit inside.
