Ducan's p.o.v "Just look at the surroundings!. It is so magical and that fountain over there is captivating!" She exclaimed then grabbed my hand pointing at it. After breaking down in front of her, it took me some minutes to fully compose myself. When I pulled back and looked at her, she laughed softly then grabbed my hand and went with me outside. There she began showing me things I already knew and saw. She was acting very nervous and trying her best to cheer me up. "Eleanor." I called softly. "Just look at those beautiful trees." She exclaimed, ignoring me. "Eleanor." I called. This time a little louder. She stood still and faced me seriously. "You don't have to worry about me because I am fine." I said as her expression softened. She moved her hand and pressed it on my cheek with a sad smile. "Ducan, I know I might sound selfish or foolish but......, why don't you come with me to the human territory?" She asked softly, angering me. "What!" I exclaimed while I took a
Eleanor's p.o.vI slowly dragged myself forward with tears running down my cheeks. I understood he was angry with me for trying to rush him and forcing myself on him, but his words were just too cruel.I couldn't believe that he saw me as someone without morals or respect. His words were hurting my heart and they were still ringing in my mind.He was right, I was stupid and very crazy because each time I spent with him I didn't care what he was or what his past is. The only thing I cared about was our time together. I felt at peace and more happy around him than I had ever been in my entire life. What I felt for Victor could never even start to compare with what I felt for Ducan.I ignored the cold breeze and walked to the edge of the cliff standing there sadly."It wasn't my intention, you know." I whispered in anger then huffed loudly "Is it my fault that you are the first person to make me feel like this?" I screamed as tears ran down my cheeks."You touch me as you want and kis
Ducan's p.o.v We walked back to the palace hand in hand and in silence. It felt nice and peaceful just watching the horizon at the cliff. I finally understood why my mother loved that place. It also gave me closure to them despite them being dead. When Eleanor stopped walking, I too did. "What's the matter?" I asked calmly. "We are close to the entrance." She whispered softly. I looked ahead and noticed that she was right. We were a few seconds away from the entrance to the palace. I dropped my hand from hers with hesitation. Her warmth made me relax and forget where we were for a minute. "Go in." I said softly. She looked at me seriously then shocked me when she tiptoed and kissed the corner of my lips gently. She was about to pull back when I kissed her lips. She instantly wrapped her arms around my shoulders and kissed me back. My arm went around her waist pulling her closer as I thrust my tongue past her mouth, enjoying her low moans and response. "Ducan?" Ose called
Ducan's p.o.v As the generals left the throne room. Ose remained behind as ordered by me. Once they were all gone, he quickly moved closer with a concerned expression on his face. "Ducan, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked seriously. "Yes." I answered. "Okay, but I too want to ask you something. Was it the right decision to keep the female humans here?" He asked loudly. I understood his concern but what did he expect me to do?. Kill them all?. "What exactly did you have in mind?" I asked back. "I thought you were going to send them back to human territory." He answered. I smiled then raised my hand, gesturing to him to move closer which he did. "Sending them back would make me look like I'm weak. The priests would think I value the female humans a lot and they would be sending more of them every time until we fall." I said seriously. He kept quiet then sighed heavily. "You sure do have a point but then think about what they could do to our generals and warrio
Ose's p.o.v "It's not that you can't stand humans, it's just that you are stuck on wishing for someone that can never be yours." Those words were ringing in my head until now and they made me furious. My heart was aching badly and my form wasn't human any more. "Ose." Oni greeted me with respect. I ignored him and went to the main dungeon cell, looking at the women who all sat down in silence. Their feet and arms were chained to the chains that were linked to the walls, limiting their body movements. I could tell that they were strong and strictly trained. All weak humans would have been scared and in tears, not quiet and collected. "Dark fairies, I call on you." I said calmly as a few appeared next to me. All dark fairies had no specific gender and they were referred to by rank / name or the word it. They took any shape or form of anything they liked. So while others looked like male demons, some looked like female demons. A lot of them served those of high rank because they
Clair's p.o.v I was in so much pain as I kept my voice in. My body was trembling badly and it was covered in sweat. I couldn't hear my friends' words clearly but I could tell that they were panicking. I was grabbed by a hand roughly and forced to stand up. I looked at the snake man in front of me then stumbled. Before I could fall, he quickly held my waist lifting me up on his shoulders ( caveman style ). I wanted to hit him badly and yell at him to drop me, but I had no strength left in me. All I could do was stay still as he walked out of the dungeon. I closed my eyes when I felt dizzy and tried to normalize my breathing. My throat felt like it was closing up and it was getting hard for me to breathe. I was thrown on the bed roughly in a second as the pain Intensified. I wanted to sit upright but he pushed me down. "Stay still." He ordered when he leaned in. I was about to refuse when he bit down my neck. The sharp stabbing pain that pierced my heart made me tear up. I k
Ose's p.o.v "Ose." The ancient witch called for my attention. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed and in a drawn circle while drawing some symbols. "Yes, ancient one." I answered softly. "Is there something troubling you?" She asked. "No." I denied then focused on what she was doing. I was more than troubled because of the female warrior's words. The way she acted was unlike any other being I had been with. What shocked me the most, was how she admitted to liking my demon form. She was definitely trying to get me to lower my guard because I knew humans hated snakes. All those years I spent watching Eleanor, I understood that snakes were either killed or treated badly by humans. Some humans even ran away from them thinking they are all evil or deadly. "Ancient one, pardon my question but, was there any human being who had ever liked a demon besides Ducan's late mother?" I asked curiously. She stopped drawing some symbols on a few cloths that had the female warriors'
Zara's p.o.vI was moving back and forth in the holy temple furiously.How dare my father treat me like a damn kid!.The whole way he was trying to get me to sing lame children songs in the carriage and he was laughing all alone like a mad man.Once he got to the capital, we went to the temple where he forced me to wait for him while he went to meet the high priest in his office.For half an hour I was standing alone like a stupid statue!."No, I don't have to listen to his words." I whispered to myself then matched out of the temple.The temple was very big and the wall fence that surrounded it was even bigger. Taking a walk to pass time was a good idea and that's exactly what I was going to do.I moved and slowly walked to the back while looking around.When I heard some voices ahead, I quickly rushed there.There was a door in the wall and it was slightly open.I knew crossing it would put me in trouble, but I just wanted to see what was going on there. I was so curious to know.I
