They spent the night at a hotel, and set out the next day. There was only small talk between the alpha and omega for the whole ride. As the sun reached its highest point, Lucifer turned them off of the trail that followed the main road. Alex followed, interested. They had been following this road since Tar Sons.

"My father's house is only a few miles down this road," Lucifer explained, breaking into Alex's thoughts. "Since I live in the city, I keep Alistair and Ruby there."

"Oh." Alex strained her eyes to see their destination on the horizon.

Lucifer knew. "We won't be able to see it for another five minutes or so," he promised with a small chuckle. "But trust me, you won't be disappointed."

...

And he was right. Ten minutes later, they rode up to a large house. White columns reached several stories in the air, holding up the roof. There was a grand door a few feet behind them, and white wood lined the windows in the brick outer walls.

Lucifer rode up to the front lawn where a servant was there to meet them. Alex sensed him to be an alpha. They dismounted, leaving their horses with him. Then Lucifer took her hand and led her up the cobblestone path. They passed a grandiose fountain, and Alex ran light fingers across the water's surface, watching the water ripple out away from her. Lucifer smiled gently at his omega's innocent fascination with the simplest of things.

They reached the door and Lucifer held it open for her, letting her step inside first. He felt her amazement, and heard her gasp. He followed her, reaching down to thread his fingers through hers. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he asked quietly.

Alex nodded. In front of them was a large hall. A wide, sweeping staircase led up to the second floor, and to each side were doors leading into many rooms. The ceilings reached two stories high, and a glistening chandelier hung above their heads. The room was softly lit, and had a homey, yet magnificent, feeling.

"Lucifer." A man came out of the far left left room; glancing through the open door, Alex saw walls lined with books. "Welcome back."

"Thank you, father." Lucifer dipped his head.

Alex studied the man. He had curly brown hair and blue eyes. He looked and sounded nervous and unsure, yet somehow he still commanded the attention of everyone in the room.

"I, uh, I see you found an omega." Lucifer's father approached, eyes running over Alex.

Alex lowered his gaze as his eyes met hers.

Lucifer tightened his grip on Alex's hand, feeling her nervousness. "Father, this is Alex, my Se'leana." He nudged her forward, and Alex stepped forward, keeping her eyes low. Lucifer's father had a very intimidating presence.

"She looks strong," the alpha commented. "Who did you get him from?"

"Crowley."

Alex looked up in time to see a sliver of discontent flash across the father's face, but it was quickly gone. "Ah. Will you be staying for dinner? Gabriel should be arriving here within the hour for a visit." He frowned slightly, eyes becoming thoughtful. "It's been a long time since I've heard from him."

"Is he bringing Sam?" Lucifer asked, curious.

"As far as I know."

Lucifer took Alex's hand. "I'm going to take her up to our room. We'll be back when Gabe comes."

"Yeah. I'll send for you."

Lucifer nodded, and led Alex up the winding staircase. Alex glanced over her shoulder to see Lucifer's father hurry back into the library. She had imagined him to be as professional and calm as Lucifer. But he just seemed jumpy. "My room's just down this way."

"Oh." Alex felt his hand squeeze hers as they turned down the hall and stopped in front of a room. He pushed open the door.

Alex sneezed as she stepped into the musty room. Lucifer huffed as well. "I told them to air this place out," he grumbled.

Alex looked around. A large fourposter bed sat against the far wall, on the far side, the floor descended several steps, and there was a large couch facing a large flat box thing on the wall. Alex tipped her head, studying it.

"TV." Lucifer explained. He headed towards the bathroom door. "I'll show you later." He disappeared inside.

"Okay." Alex walked over to the window, opening it to let in fresh air. She looked out over the front yard, watching a rabbit bound across the lawn and into the hedges.

Hands came to rest on her hips, and Alex jumped slightly. "Want to see what the tv is now?" Lucifer whispered in her ear, loosely wrapping his arms around her waist. When Alex nodded, he led her over to the couch.

They sat down, and Lucifer picked up a small remote. With a simple press of the button, the entire screen lit up. Alex watched in amazement as moving pictures flickered across the screen. It was she was watching the scene unfold through a window. She leaned forward, pulling her legs up onto the couch.

Lucifer laughed slightly, more interested in his omega than the gameshow. "Do you like it?"

"How does it work?" Alex tipped her head, squinting slightly. "I assume there isn't people actually in the box."

"Magic," Lucifer joked. He handed Alex the remote, pressing one of the longer buttons. The images flipped to a new one.

She followed his example, changing the channel. "That's really cool," she admitted. "TV, you call it?"

"Short for television." Lucifer leaned back, resting his arms across the back of the couch. "Over one hundred channels, most of them total shit."

"Oh. Okay." Alex decided to trust his judgement. "What are the good channels?"

As Lucifer opened his mouth to respond, there was a knock on the door. "Sir?" a voice called. "Your brother has arrived."

Lucifer stood up. "Shall we go downstairs?" he asked, holding out his hand to Alex.

She hesitated, part of her still wanting to watch TV. But she knew it was a rhetorical question, so she took his hand. "Sure."

Lucifer led her out of the room. Glancing over the balcony, Alex saw two men talking with Lucifer's father. One was extremely tall, towering over the second man. However, the second man stood confidently, a sense of power in his laid-back movements. Both could be alphas, but she had a suspicion that the taller was the omega.

Lucifer was already at the stairs, and Alex hurried to catch up as he descended gracefully. She almost tripped on the second step, barely catching herself in time. All three men looked up, and Alex blushed a deep red, keeping her eyes low.

Lucifer ignored her blunder, and walked over to the men. "Gabriel." He dipped his head towards the shorter man. "I'm glad you're here."

"Yeah." Gabriel shrugged, looking past his brother. "She yours?"

"Yes. This is Alex." Lucifer motioned her forward. Desperate not to look like anymore of a fool, Alex squared her shoulders, meeting Gabriel's gaze. However, after only a few seconds, her eyes flickered over to the other man, unable to hold the alpha's stare. She racked her brain, knowing she had heard his name somewhere. What was it? Sam? Yes. That must be it.

Her suspicions were put to rest quickly. "Lucifer. You've met Sam." Gabriel nudged his omega forward. "Although I think he's grown since you last saw him."

Sam let out a disapproving grunt at his alpha's sense of humor, but he nodded towards Lucifer. "It's good to see you again," he said politely, although his voice seemed to hint the opposite. He turned his attention to Alex, who felt herself flush slightly under his scrutiny. However, he didn't say anything.

Gabriel glanced over at his father. "When's dinner? I'm starved."

"I'll go check on it," Chuck said hurriedly. "Please. Go have a seat." He scurried off, and Alex watched. Chuck was weird.

Gabriel walked off to the left, disappearing behind the staircase. Lucifer followed, leaving Alex and Sam to trail behind. They followed Gabriel into a large living room. The alphas was currently situated at the bar, pouring himself a drink. "Thirsty?" he asked, motioning towards Lucifer with a half-empty bottle of whiskey.

Lucifer shook his head. "Not right now, thank you." He looked over at Alex, who was studying the impressive room with wide eyes. "Alex."

Alex looked from where she was staring at a large painting above a brick fireplace. "Hm?"

"I think Gabriel and I are going to catch up a bit." Lucifer looked over at his brother. "Perhaps Sam could take you on a tour of the house."

Gabriel quickly gave his assent, and Sam nodded. "Sure." He walked back towards the doorway, pausing to look back at Alex.

She hurried after him, slightly glad to get away from the alphas. Although she had to admit that Sam the giant was fairly intimidating. She kept her eyes low as the followed the omega back into the foyer.

"How long have you been here?" Sam's voice broke into her thoughts.

Alex shrugged. "Ten minutes?" she guessed. "Not long. I've only seen Lucifer's room."

"Ah." Sam stood so he was facing the staircase. Then he motioned off to the far right. "There's a guest room through there," he said. "I don't think it's ever been used. We just came out of the living room." He walked across the foyer in long strides, stopping in front of the far left door. "This is the library." He pushed open the door. "From what I've heard, Chuck spends most of his time in here."

Alex looked in. The right wall was bookshelves from floor to ceiling, while the left wall had large windows that looked over the front yard. There was a desk at the far end of the room with several books laying open on it. "Neat," was all she said. She stepped out, and Sam closed the door, moving on to the next doorway. Inside was a large table that stretched the expanse of the room. A large brick fireplace lay against the far wall in between two window.

"Dining room," was all Sam said. He stepped out of the room and turned into the next room. "And kitchen. We won't go in. It's pretty crowded right now."

Alex nodded, and, as Sam stepped away, she peeked inside. Men and women hurried around the room, some disappearing through a door on the left wall that led right into the dining room. One came bustling right past her, and Alex jumped out of the way. She knocked her head slightly on the staircase, and shook it off angrily.

Sam let out a small smile. "Come on. It's less busy upstairs." With his long legs, he made his way across the foyer and up the stairs.

Alex hurried after him. "Slow down," she grumbled. "I have to take twice as many steps as you."

Sam let out an amused grin. "Sorry." He slowed his pace to match hers. "So. Where are you from?"

"Over the mountains."

"Hm. I guess that explains your accent. What town?"

Alex shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't exactly live in a town. I, uh, I actually lived in the forest. I had a cave, and khul'Shalkrum, and I was happy."

Sam blinked in disbelief. "You lived on your own? For how long?"

"I don't know. Ten years? After my dad died, it was just me." Alex looked up at the omega. "So, uh, most of this is new for me. I mean, I knew about electricity, sort of, but most of this is weird. Like TVs. And cars." She shook her head. "I don't like cars. Or horses."

"Oh. Well, if you're gonna live with Lucifer, you probably won't have to deal with horses too much." Sam reached the top of the stairs and took a right. "Although cars are going to be a pretty big thing."

"Great." Alex sighed, slightly, turning her attention to the large open space in front of her. "What's this?"

"I'm not really sure," Sam admitted. "As far as I know, not much. I think it was a play space a long time ago when the Novaks were kids?"

Alex tried to picture Lucifer as a child. It wasn't working. "Oh. Okay."

Sam pointed off to the left. "Bedroom." He turned back towards the stairs and pointed down the hallway that bordered the balcony. "Bedroom." He pointed down another hallway. "More bedrooms."

"Oh. Okay. Yeah. Lucifer's bedroom is that one." She pointed down the first hallway.

"Yeah." Sam turned away from that. He walked back to the staircase. Instead of going down the stairs, however, her walked in the opposite direction, towards the back of the house. Alex followed, not sure where this was going. "The servant quarters are the third floor." He led the way up a large flight of stairs. "Watch your head."

"Woah." Alex reached the top and stopped in her tracks.

"Yeah. It's pretty big." Sam stayed on the stairs, not tall enough to stand up straight. "The ceiling gets bigger farther on."

"Oh. Okay." Alex followed Sam back down the stairs. "So, uh, I think Lucifer mentioned you had a brother?"

Sam nodded. "Yeah. Two, actually. My actual brother is Dean. He belongs to Castiel. I have a half-brother too. Adam. He's Michael's omega."

"So you're all siblings." Alex ran through the list of omegas Lucifer had talked about two days back.

"Yep. Although we didn't know we were related to Adam until Michael brought him in." Sam let out a huff. "He can barely channel." A warm glow surrounded the omega as he drew in the Source.

Alex frowned. "Lucifer won't let me channel," she mumbled.

Sam looked down at her. "Give him some time. You guys aren't physically bonded, are you?"

Alex winced. "No. Nope. Not at all." Her eyes flickered down to her shoes.

Sam noticed, but he said nothing about it. "We should get back downstairs. The alpha's are probably wondering where we are."

Alex trailed after him.
