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
Eleanor's p.o.vI turned calmly and opened my eyes with a smile across my face. I felt well rested and at peace.I looked at the door ahead, then frowned deeply when I remembered how Ducan was still in my room last night.I quickly sat upright and turned only to meet the demon King's eyes.He sat behind his desk looking at me seriously without blinking.I shifted my gaze to his hands which were on the desk with a rapid beating heart. I wanted to see if he had blood on them or not. The thought of him finding Ducan on his bed and killing him made me very scared.A sigh of relief escaped me when I saw how he had no blood on his hand or clothes."Get up." He ordered, then raised a finger to me as a gesture to do it quickly.I nervously moved and got off the bed."Take off your robes." He said as I moved my hand to the chest grabbing the robe in a fist.No, I didn't want it to happen again. I don't want to get hurt or harassed by him like last time.I would take hits and I would fight back
Clair's p.o.vI stayed for hours waiting for Ose to come back. Since he left the room I decided to stay put and not do anything that would put my life in danger. It wasn't wise going around an unknown kingdom when I was their enemy, attacking him too was out of question. Besides liking his form, I didn't want to be attacked by all the demons and have my friends killed because of me.The fact that I was still alive was a good thing. Yesterday I panicked and acted rashly by attacking those demons in the dungeon. It was a wrong move that would have cost us all our lives. But after hours of thinking carefully, I decided to play my role of a slave very well, since I already liked what form my master had, it was going to be easy to have him lower his guard.While earning his trust, I was going to befriend the maiden and convince her to go back with us. If she agreed, I would proceed to study the whole kingdom and know where all entrances were. I would also know all the duties of each dem
Ducan's p.o.v I sat on my throne tapping my hand on my thigh trying to calm down. I was feeling impatient and uneasy. A few minutes already went by and Eleanor wasn't yet here. Was I too hard on her?. No, of course not, I didn't treat her badly. Was it my words?. Did I scare her again?. Or was I too demanding when I told her not to make me wait?. Was my hand on her body aggressive?. I couldn't stop thinking about how I acted and it was slowly making me lose my composure!. She wasn't thinking of running away again, was she?. No, she couldn't do it without telling me about it in my human form. Then why was she taking so long to come to the throne room when the demon servants were going to attend to her?. "Ducan." Ose whispered in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked seriously. "The generals are wondering why you look very upset." He whispered under his breath. I shifted and looked at the generals who were looking at me with concern. A few of them
Eleanor's p.o.v I couldn't believe the demon king spared her life. I was shocked at the same time I felt confused. When I looked up, I noticed the python demon looking down at me seriously. "Thank you." The woman behind me whispered while the demon generals left the room. I stood up and faced her as she did the same. At first I was in doubt that she was human, but when she wrote the name of our gods on my palm, I realized there and then that she really was. Because all demons knew of our gods, but there was never a day they wrote or called out their names. According to myths and stories, a demon who dared to call upon their names or write it down, faced a calamity. "I don't know why you are here but I'll tell you this honestly. The demon king doesn't hesitate to do as he pleases, mostly when he is angered. Today is the first time that he has shown mercy to a human without the demon python's plea. Next time he won't hesitate to kill any one of us if he is angered again." I said s
Ose's p.o.v I walked back into the palace furiously. Was he in love with her?. No that wasn't the case. Ducan hated humans, that I knew. But then why was he gentle with her?. The way he looked at her and how he acted towards me, it was like he was jealous. She was so happy to see him and even tried her best to cover my words!. I was so annoyed and angry for some reason. I matched into my bedchamber and stopped near the bed when my eyes landed on my slave who sat on the bed looking at me with a warm smile. "What?" I asked loudly. She frowned then slowly moved to the edge. "Ose, did I upset you in any way?" She asked when she stood up. "First of all, let's start by your pure disrespect of addressing me by my name." I pointed out. "But you told me your name yourself, I just...." "Shut up human!" I yelled on top of my voice startling her. "Not only do you address me by my name, you acted high and mighty in front of our demon king. Did you not notice all the slaves kneeling dow
