Xavier's POV
I stood frozen by the door as Alfred's words echoed in my head like a broken record... I am not Lucifer.
The phrase replayed over and over, sending a cold spike of dread through my chest because if that was true, then I had been fooling myself... and my entire team... all weekend.
The worst part was captain Graves was already involved. What was I supposed to do?walk back to his office and say, "Hey, Captain, I think we got the wrong guy."
The thought of that alone made my stomach twist... My reputation, my pride, everything I had built since arriving in New York would crumble.
For a moment, I desperately wished Alfred was just messing with me, that he really was Lucifer and had said that nonsense only to get my attention so he could spin some new story.
I slowly turned around, facing him with a hard stare. "What the fuck did you just say?"
