Their first real fight with an enemy, a soul sucking Succubus. Will she prove to be formidable enough to tear our two lovers apart? What other secrets from Ladra's past will be revealed to him by Dr. Grey? Comment, fave, rate below.


Shadow's ears flicked a bit as he looked at the window and saw a the tip of a serpentine tail flick out a view. "The hell? I think we are still being watched." "No worries, my father put a protection spell on this place thanks to the potion he had, remember?" Ladra reassured him as he hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek."Oh yeah, still, a bit unnerving is all." Shadow held his human tight and nuzzled him lovingly as he licked his head all over."Hun I love your wolf form the best, it's the guy I fell in love with. But it's nice to know you're still you." The young boy murred to the licks as his arms tightened right Shadow's body. Nuzzling deeply into his musky chest and moaning softly. "Mmm I know, I love you Ladra." Shadow whispered before kissing his nose and nuzzling the top of his head hard.Ladra yawned softly as the credits rolled on the screen. His eyes so heavy with he sleep that he barely could stay awake. "I'm so sleepy..." "Then sleep angel." Shadow chuckled as he held the human to his chest as he rubbed his back.His eyes grew weary with deep slumber, slowly closing them with Shadow caressing him in his arms. Breathing slowly as his head rested on Shadow's chest. Shadow chuckled and kissed his head as he settled down and fell into a deep sleep once again.Everything in the room turned off automatically as they slept together. The mysterious female flying over to the house only to get burned when she tried to enter a window. "Fuck! That stung." Shadow's ears perked up lightly as he heard something outside. Slowly, ever so slowly as to not wake up Ladra, Shadow kissed the human's forehead and tapped Naseraf on the head to wake him up. "Watch over him till I get back." Nas gave a smoke ring to acknowledge this as he flew over to perch on the head board while Shadow opened the chest silently and grabbed the brief case. He got dressed quickly and walked outside, going around the mansion to where he heard the sound.The female hissed softly and took the opportunity to quickly come on down. Opening up her wings as she flew right into the open door and shut it behind her. Grinning maniacally to herself as she turned her attention upstairs and enlarged her fangs, potent venom dripping from them. She raced upstairs prepared to kill off her competition for the Demon Lord's attention. The woman was stopped abruptly by an outstretched forearm to the head, causing her to fall on her back dazed. When her senses returned, she saw Shadow glared down at her growling darkly. "And just what do you think your doing

succubus?" Shadow growled louder as his briefcase opened and he took out a duel bladed sword. The blades were short, only 1 1/2' long and single sided, the hilts looked like a pair of snakes. The succubus hissed her forked tongue as she quickly got onto her heels. Her clothes tearing apart as her nearly naked body became covered in thorny bone armor. Charcoal in color as she broke a piece off and summoned forth a deadly giant bone spear. "You're the one I've been longing for my liege. I was merely taking out my competition, if he can even be considered that. What are you doing with a boy like that? When you can be with a 'woman' like me." She said seductively as she walked forward with her hips swaying with her tail. Tracing a long claw under his chin while her tail slithered around his crotch. Shadow's eyes shot wide open and grabbed the demoness, he threw her into the nearest shadow and walked through after her, walking out onto a large clearing. "Listen up bitch, I don't know who you are, nor do I give a shit, but Ladra is my Mate, and he Always will be. Now I command you to get your ass out if here before I tear you to shreds, or even better, get Lilith to take you away.""My you're certainly the heated one. So protective of that little bitch. Don't worry, it'll all be over quick." She smiled as she turned into dark smoke and flew out of the clearing and went after the sleeping Ladra. Finding him in his sleep but Naseraf screeched to attack her. She grabbed the wyvern and tossed him into the wall with strength. She straddled on Ladra's chest and saw some eerie beauty in his sleeping face. "You're cute for a human, but something must be different to attract a powerful demon lord's eyes." She cups his lower mouth and opens up his lips in a gentle O to start sucking out his life essence as mana.Shadow appeared in his perfect form, tearing her off of the Angel and growling demonically. "I SAID STAY AWAY FROM HIM BITCH!!!" He summoned Shadow Moon in his other hand as Naseraf grew to the size large enough to fill most of the room as he bared his fangs. "One last warning, get out, before I send you back to hell in pieces!"She closed her eyes as she smirked and opened up her eyes to very deadly slit irises that sent shockwaves. Shadow grunted as he was slammed against the wall and Naseraf shrunk to a small size and whined covering his ears. "Hehe! Careful, you're not all powerful." She gasped the next second as Genkuro phased through the wall and kicked her out into a broken window with the glass shattering as he transformed to a nine-tailed fox and jumped after her. Ladra gasping as he woke up and coughed some blood out. "Shadow is that you?! What's going on?!" They heard the other two fighting outside.Shadow growled as he stood back up.

"A succubus bitch is trying to kill you because you're with me and she's hell bent on making me her's apparently and our friendly neighborhood kitsune just kicked her out the window." He went to the window brandishing his swords. "I suggest you stay here Hun."Ladra just sat there rubbing his burning throat as he saw Shadow and Naseraf jumping out to help Genkuro. The fox spirit and succubus fighting foxfire to dark magic as she sent dark shadow tendrils after him.Shadow gave a passive look at the shadows as they stopped in their tracks mere inches from the foxes head. "That's enough from you Succubus, time for you to go back from whence you came." He held up Shadow Moon into the air, as the pair watched the clouds parted and the moons rays shined down onto the blade while the darkest shadows gathered in the blade as well. "Dark Oblivion!" Naseraf grabbed Genkuro by the scruff and flew out of the way as Shadow gave a downward cross slash, sending a broad blade so light and dark straight at the succubus, with enough power behind it to tear her to shreds with ease.The succubus smiled as she held up her staff and the sapphire eye floating in the center glowed brightly, surrounding her in a purple field of protection. "Sheild of the Abyss!" Shadow looked at the barrier and scoffed. "As if the feeble thing could ever stop this attack." The blade tore through the shield and the staff shattered, while the succubus was thrown deep into the woods behind the mansion.Her laughter echoed throughout the woods as dark tendrils appeared and wrapped around Genkuro, Naseraf, and Shadow. "Shadow Drain." She whispered out as she came out of the woods and reconstructed her spear staff. Walking towards Shadow to force his mouth open and start sucking out his mana as the tendrils rubbed on his crotch to entice his bulge. "Let's weaken you first, then I'll handle your little friends next." Just as Shadow's vision was starting to cloud over, a beam of light came shooting out and struck the succubus away from the others for the tendrils to disappear and let them go. Frixie came out and illuminated Ladra's face as his left hand extended out with a faint glow diminishing on his palm as he got in between them and her. "My turn." Shadow got to his hands and knees as he gave himself a shake and growled louder and more demonic then ever, he looked up, his eyes glowing pure red. "I'm going to turn that bitch to dust!" He slowly stood up but lost his balance only to be caught by Naseraf. "Damn... Hun, just give me a sec to recharge and I'll rip her to shreds.""Naseraf hold him there and don't let him go. Genkuro come with me." They both nodded with the silver wyvern holding his master back and the nine-tailed fox unsheathing

his katana and running forward to clash with her staff. The succubus twirling her staff to intercept his various strikes as metal crossed with obsidian bone. Ladra opened up his wings, concentrating hard to create light from darkness as the light formed into an angelic blade. He came forward with it and joined with Genkuro to block her hits as they clashed into a standstill. Their weapons connected to seek a strike. "Genkuro use your foxfire to surround her." Ladra punched her hard for Genkuro to surround her in purple flames that grew large but stayed in place to not burn the forest. Ladra opened up his hands again by instinct opened up a swirling portal of light runes. "Chains of Desolation!" Golden chains came down from above to bind the succubus in a tight coil of metal that locked down and held her there, weakening her dark power. She collapsed onto her knees and breathed hard as she looked up in anger and awe at Ladra with his bright wings extending out. "An angel...a little runt like you is an angel?!!" Ladra ignored her with a stoic look on his face as he turned to look at Shadow. "There's no need to kill her now Shadow, those chains should her for now. We'll take her in for questioning. Will you be alright?""Oh I'll be fine, just give me a few. As for her, the second Lilith catches wind of this, she'll have more then me to worry about." Shadow slowly stood up and as they watched, he opened his maw and breathed deeply, pulling in the nearest shadows and sighed afterwards, letting out little jets of black flames. "You and Genkuro bring her in, I can't touch those chains. Oh and one thing before they take you." Shadow walked over and got in real close to the demoness. "Now you see why I love him.""An angel with a Demon Lord? How ironic you'll both just end up killing each other in the long run. You can't go against the natural order." Genkuro picked her by the chains and took her in. "Shut up demon bitch and get your damn ass inside now." The fox had lost patience as Ladra came up to Shadow with his blade diminishing into nothing with his wings. Hugging Shadow tightly as his aura healed Shadow of his bumps and scratches. "Let's go inside." Frixie came up to Naseraf and nuzzled his cheek to see if his friend was okay. Nassy gave the Will o Wisp a lick to show he was fine and shrank down to perch on Shadow's shoulder as he held his angel close. "Yeah..." He took Ladra's hand and walked back into the mansion followed by Frixie.Sophia and Aragen were waiting inside when they came in. Dr. Grey rushing to the boys' side. "Are you both alright?! You gave me such a scare!" "Oh I've been much worse for ware, I'm more interested in how Ladra learned to use the Chains of Desolation." All three of us turned to look at Ladra as Naseraf flew off to help guard the

succubus.Ladra quirked an eyebrow as he just shrugged easily. "I just felt like it was the right thing to do. When I was out there fighting it was like someone was there right by my side guiding me. Whispering to me all I could do to subdue her." "I have money that says that there is some remnants of your father in you that is teaching and guiding you.""Perhaps, but I don't want remnants, I want him." Ladra looked up at Dr. Grey who flinched and then hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry Dad. I love you and you'll always be my Dad. I just wonder what my real parents are like." He sighed and let go of him. "I'm going to talk to 'her' now." "'Her'? Who 'her'? The succubus? If so, it had something to do with me being a demon lord and she wants me all to myself." Shadow said as he hugged Ladra tight."You're right about that but I want to reason with her." As they were talking a wet puddle was seeping on the white marble floor from under the door. The water came in more as it formed into a circular puddle and reached up to form into a familiar Naiad. "Are you all alright? I heard what was happening from my pond." "Yeah, we're fine. Crazy ass bitch, all my fault for my past, blah blah blah. Nothing special in my court!" Shadow sighed and held Lara close as he nuzzled into his neck. "I'm sorry Hun, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been in any danger...""It wasn't your fault Shadow, but now I need to talk to her before things end badly." Ladra hugged Shadow back tightly as they nuzzled. Letting him go to get upstairs where Genkuro put the succubus in a bedroom to make her settle down. Dr. Grey just standing there with Sophia as he had a sullen expression. "What if I'm not the father Ladra needs right now? He's always had this feeling of abandonment from his real parents." Sophie came over to Aragen and clapped his shoulder. "You have done everything for him that you can. If you feel you want to do more then tell him the complete truth about his parents." Ladra came up to Genkuro who stood outside the door. "Be careful with her inside. I'll be right here if you need me." Ladra nodded as he opened the door and closed it behind him. Looking to the Succubus as he came close to her still in chains.The demoness looked up as the door opened and she grinned as her tail flicked and her tongue shot out. "Ah, so the orphan angel finally comes to finish the job."He took a few steps forward with his steel-blue eyes shining brightly in the moonlight that filtered through the slightly shingled window. The moon rays catching his eyes hauntingly as he reached a hand out to cup her cheek tenderly despite some danger. A gentle warmth she could feel from

Ladra as he shook his head. "No I came to see if you were alright." She growled and shook the hand off as her tongue shot of again and she bared be dripping fangs at the angel. "And why should an angel care about the demoness that tried to kill him? Huh? Tell me that ORPHAN!"The word pained Ladra but refused to show it as he remained calm and took a seat beside her. His wings slowly extending out from his back as he looked at them and then to her. "It's because I bear no hatred toward you. I may be a Nephilim but...hating you wouldn't make any better. I'm trying to understand you so you can understand me." He looked her straight in the eyes. "We either settle our differences or we end up killing each other. I'd rather prefer the former and help you in anyway I am able to." She growled louder an glared at the angel as her tail flicked angrily. "Yeah right! What I want is the demon lord! He should be mine! Not some orphan angel's!!!"Ladra just stared at her as he got up to retrieve food and drink for her set beside on the bedside table. Extending out his palm to make the chains go away. "You can stay here tonight. Let me make things clear for you. Shadow is my boyfriend and we belong together no matter what we are because I love him dearly. I'm also willing to be your friend and help you because I believe everyone deserves a chance. I may be an orphan but I have people who love me. The door will be closed but so help me if you think of trying anything I will put my foot up your ass." Ladra stepped out and closed the door behind him. The demoness cocked a brow as she grabbed a few pieces of food. "Well I'll be blessed, that is one fucked up angel."On the side of the table a crystal grew out that slowly formed into a blue rose. Ladra walked back down to meet everyone else. She looked at the rose and ignored it as she ate. When Ladra arrived to the others, Shadow appeared behind him and hugged him tight. "I don't like her at all!""She's like us Shadow, we're all misunderstood and monsters in the eyes of humankind." Ladra turned to hug him back as he nuzzled into his chest. Letting out a deep sigh of relief. Dr. Grey stepped forward to rub the nape of his son's neck. "We need to talk son."Shadow looked up at the doc and gave Ladra's head a kiss. "Go on Hun, now it's my turn to talk to her." Shadow started to walk up stairs, pulling out Shadow Moon from his trench coat along the way. "A little incentive should get her talking."Ladra walked with Dr. Grey to his room where he set up his own workplace. "What did you want to tell me Dad?" He went to a box and brought out a key with angelic marks and

an emblem for the metal knob to grip it. "Your mother Arissa gave me this key when she left you. She came from a long line of Watchers. They were an order of special humans who were the bridge between the human and paranormal worlds and protected them from each other. Your father was Angelus, a powerful archangel who came to Earth to do battle with Dracomeir, Shadow's father because of a scheme that would have meant the end of all life. He put a stop to it but not before he was killed by his son Shadow. He rescued Shadow even when it meant going against the will of God in order to give him a fair chance to live a normal life. He understood he was not at fault for his demon side but his wolf side also made him more tame then most Underworlders. He brought him to the surface because he also saw something special in him, something that could help his son, you Ladra. He took Shadow to also be under my close watchful eye before your mother brought you to me for their were events that had taken place that put you all in danger just for existing. Unknown enemies that not even I know about were after you and Shadow for your gifts, but I always protected you. Your father went back to Heaven to face judgement but not before placing a Law on you that no one in heaven could lay a hand on you. Your mother disappeared to keep you safe as well and to draw unwanted attention away. The Dagaron's have always been a royal family in the mythical world, known to be one of the last lineages of Watchers. And with the added blood of an angel in you, you are a force to be reckoned that many factions would try to abuse or destroy. You must decide carefully from now on where your path lays. But you are the rightful head of the Dagaron Clan now. I know you will make the right choices." He hugged Ladra and afterward left him there to think through everything he just learned.Shadow opened the door to the demoness' room and closed it behind him, locking it without ever once looking at her. He then went over to grab a chair and set it in front of her. Shadow sat in it and stabbed Shadow Moon into the floor to stick straight up. "I'm going to ask a few questions, and you will answer them, or I will take this blade, and reap your soul."You're little angel was far more hospitable than you, but he's a strange one for an angel." She took up the rose and smirked softly. "Fine, I'll tell you all you need to know without trouble. By the way my name is Silia." "Good. First off, SILIA, do you even have the slightest idea in the corrupted mind of yours, just who the fuck I am? Secondly, why we're you so he'll bent of killing the love of my life? And finally, how did you come to this plain of existence?""First of Silia is my real name. Secondly I exist here along with the rest of us Paranormals, there is no plane I come from. I know who you are

Demon Lord Shadow, son of Dracomeir. I also wanted your love for myself because of who you are without that boy in the way. It infuriated me that a mere human got your love, but now I see why you're so into him. Must be exciting to make love with a Nephilim. Even when I had pure hatred he showed me kindness. Fuck..." She put the rose back. "Hmmm, he does have his ways. Now I'm going to leave, and your going to stay here, understand?" Shadow stood up and picked up his sword, replacing it in his coat and walked out without another word. He walked back down stairs and ran into Dr. Grey. "Oh, Grey, where is Ladra?""He went back to your bedroom to rest. You'll probably find him in bed. Goodnight Shadow, everyone else has gone off to their rooms." He gave Shadow a quick hug and went off to his bedroom. "Ok, thanks Doctor." He walked back to their shared room and sat on the side of the bed, lightly placing a hand on Ladra's shoulder gently.Ladra dried the tears away as he turned to face Shadow with the key in his hand. "Hey my sweetheart. How are you?" "Hun, why we're you crying?" Shadow picked him up and held him in his lap as he nuzzled him and licked his eyes. "And what's that?""It's the key to my small treasure chest. My Dad told me the whole truth about my parents." Ladra told Shadow every last detail to him as he was held tightly on his lap. "Did you know about any of it?" "None at all, I never knew that your father had helped me out or that our fathers were enemies." Shadow held the boy close as his little chest was brought over by a shadow. "Do you want to open it?""Yeah." Ladra took the chest hesitantly from the shadow as he set it down on the bed. He inserted the key into the lock and opened it to see some gold coins and precious gems. At the top was a clear crystal pebble with an unearthly glow in the center that swirled inside."The hell?" Shadow looked closely at the pebble and wondered what the hell it was.Ladra ignored the small fortune as he took out the small stone and at the touch of it the swirling energy inside formed into a winged insignia. "My clan's emblem...""Oh Hun." Shadow hugged Ladra tightly and nuzzled him as he looked at the emblem.The boy took the emblem close to the crystal that glowed hotly until it fused with the mana to make it grow slightly bigger as the mana swirled inside with the emblem right in the middle on the front. "Whoa." "Well then, looks like your family is full of surprises." Shadow giggles lightly and touched the crystal lightly to see if

anything would happened.The crystal resonated to Shadow's touch gently without burning him. Ladra rubbed Shadow's biceps as he licked on his chest and nuzzled into his fur. "So warm and soft." Shadow smiled softly at the one he loves most in any world, then his eyes widened as he saw his own family insignia, a peculiar marking shaped like a spear, intertwined itself with Ladra's own, creating a winged spear. "Our family intertwined."Ladra looked down at it and thought it was very beautiful as the stones separated and one landed in the palm of Shadow's hand a clear crystal with swirling light inside with the insignia on it, an exact copy for him to wear. "No kidding!" "Hooray!" Shadow laughed and huggled the boy tightly, licking his face all over."Shadow! <3" Ladra laughed as he hugged back and is licked all over as he nuzzled into his chest.The wolf laughed as Naseraf flew up and nuzzled into his cheek with a big smile on his face.Frixie chirped softly and came up to Ladra to cuddle on his shoulder. "Hehe! So hun, want to resume our rest?" "Mhmm and these two can join." The wolf said with love as Nassy licked his cheek and jumped off so he could get undressed.Ladra blushed as he never got tired at looking at Shadow's attractive body. The muscles toned with just enough bulk to make him look as strong as he was. Ladra took off his clothes to be still in his slim body but with some more muscle than before. Shadow gave a giggle as he reached over and poke the muscle. "Your bulking up hun.""Hopefully not too much, it's bad enough we have one meathead." He giggled as he poked his barrel chest back. Laying down on their bed with the little guys cuddling up on a little pillow. The wolf yawned and petted them both lightly before snuggling up with his angel and licking his face like a puppy.The Nephilim pulled the covers over their bodies as he hugged his big puppy tightly and murred softly in his ear from the licks. Using him like a muscular mattress of hard muscle and plush fur.The halfbreed chuckled and held the nephilim close as he laid upon him like a mattress.Murred gently as he started to fall asleep on top of Shadow in his arms. "Goodnight my love.""Mmm ni ni, my adorable angel." Shadow leaned down to kiss his head as he held him tighter.
