Chapter: 4. THE DEMON APPEARS ~ODETTEHis height towered above mine in a dominant way. He had on loose dark clothes, a perfect match to my black dress. His hair was just as dark as the mystery that he exuded. He had on a pair of clear glasses, with a face too beautiful it felt illegal. He was nothing like the Demon the world had described. I had expected to see a scarred bearded man, rough and scary to the eyes but he looked a lot like he was only misunderstood. Or perhaps, I was the one who hoped he was misunderstood. As I stared into his electrifying green eyes, I could have sworn I saw pain buried somewhere within them. He didn't say another word again, or even spare me another glance. He just began to step forward, expecting that I was following him. So I did as I was told. I followed the Demon Prince Rafael Skull inside. I was still trembling when we entered the grand hall. Everyone immediately stopped talking when they saw both of us make our way into the space. It was as if they never expected tha

Chapter: 3. THE FAMILY RITUALS ~ODETTEPain was the only constant emotion I had ever felt since I was a child. I had experienced it in many forms; physically, emotionally, mentally. . .This ritual was just another form of pain which I could adapt to. I had endured constant whippings and tortures at the hands of my stepmother. I could take the burning coal. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Gaius making a call to his Prince again and he soon positioned his camera in my direction. I understood what was happening. He was making a video. Had I already caught the Demon Uncle's attention?If so, then the show had just started. "Fine, I'll do it," I whispered. Rowena suddenly laughed. "Are you sure you can handle it? After all, you are very weak, even weaker than an omega." That little comment from her caused murmurs and whispers to start flying around. The crowd backed her up. They didn't believe I could do it. They were wrong. I took off my shoes and rubbed the numbing balm I always carried on me. I had made

Chapter: 2. THE WEAK BECOMES STRONG ~ODETTEIf there was one thing I knew about demon men. . . Then it was the fact that amusing and daring actions always seemed to intrigue them. My first act of defiance was to wear a black dress to my own wedding. Some saw it as bad luck, others— a direct disrespect to them but to the Demon Uncle Rafael. . . I hoped he would see it as an intriguing and welcoming act. I stepped out of my room and graciously descended the stairs in my black dress. I had initially planned to wear it to my first appearance as Wolf Queen but that wasn't happening anymore. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, Camille broke into laughter. "You can't be serious. You are actually wearing black?" She exclaimed. "You must be begging to be killed on sight by your groom." I ignored her. "Works by me, let's not keep the grooms waiting," Rowena said and led the way out of the house. I carried a bouquet of black roses while Camille carried red roses, still clad in my wedding gown. One would think she was

Chapter: 1. THE WEDDING SAGA ~ODETTEI will never forget the day I watched my father and his mistress kill my mother. That same day, I swore to them that I would destroy them all. And today, on my wedding day, I was finally beginning the first phase of my vengeance.All the years of enduring silent abuse from my stepmother, her daughter and my father— while pretending to be meek and naive just to survive—It was all ending today. "Mom, you'll finally get justice," I whispered as I stared back at my silver eyes in the mirror. I turned to my closet, where I had kept my wedding dress but it was empty. I frowned. Could Camille have something to do with this?I tightened my bathrobe and walked out of my room immediately. I was heading for hers when I heard her laughter coming from downstairs. I hurried down instantly and when I found her in the living room, I froze in my tracks. Not only did she have the guts to take my wedding dress, she went as far as wearing it. She was busy showing it off to her mother like
