~ELARA~

The tension between Dravon and I had long dissipated once we entered his territory.

Almost for a moment, I had been afraid it will swallow me whole, but minutes into the ride, I began to relax a bit, but not enough to remove my mind from the fact that we are moving to another territory I knew nothing about.

My eyes were stuck on the window, greedily taking in all I could. I wanted to know the place I'll be residing in, either as a slave or a free woman.

I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the kingdom was. In other packs, you can come across some fairly undeveloped parts, but everywhere in his kingdom seemed so developed, with high towering buildings, good roads and other infrastructures that made it stand out.

Several pack members had recognized the King's convoy, bowing slightly as the cars passed by, I could see the wild smile on their faces, especially the she-wolves but they hid their excitement behind pure elegance that I never thought could be associated to ordinary

    ~Elara~The rest of the training was a blur.I was now used to the weight of swords now and could swing it with ease, but it kept slipping from my hands.I was heavily distracted, I knew that much. I kept straining my head, looking around to see if I could find Dravon.Maybe he changed his mind and decided to come lurk around.But yet again I was disappointed.I was even more disappointed in myself for being so attached to him.It was just one kiss for heaven's sake.I should be able to get over it and move on, just like Dravon clearly has.But he kept infiltrating my head, taking control of my thoughts.“You're distracted Elara.” Vincent pointed out, drawing me back to reality. “I expected your full attention since the King isn't around.”I let out a frustrated breath, dropping my sword. “I'm sorry Vincent, I had a rough morning.”“I know the nobles and elders can be intense, but don't let them get to you. We'll continue tomorrow, use the rest of the day to clear your head.”My lips

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   068| He Won't Be Coming

    ~Elara~I looked at the note the umpteenth time, letting out a groan.This has been a repetitive reaction of mine for the past thirty minutes.After returning from that party with him, he still had been nothing but cold to me.After what happened with Lucien, I was half expecting him to talk to me, ask questions maybe… but he wouldn’t even look at me.I laid lazily in bed with the note far away from my sight as though it would erase the fact that I ever received it.Since I was given the note last night, my mind has been spirallingI brought the note back to my face again.Maybe I misread the whole thing, I need to read it word for word.Breakfast tomorrow is at the dining hallDravonThis could be addressed to anybody. I'm sure Aria was mistaken, she brought it to the wrong room.“He only uses his name when he's writing to you, you know that.” Ney, ever so loving to Dravon, reminded me.I knew she was right. But I still can’t understand what the hell he is playing at.But even if it

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   067| Meeting Lucien Again

    ~Elara~The glitter from the ballroom as though it was a sky full of so much stars, did nothing to lighten my mood.The chandeliers were everywhere, spilling its golden light over the polished marble floors, were everyone were gathered, laughing and clinking glasses.The nobles were all dressed extravagantly, Alphas from different packs, betas and other high officials, all dressed in silk and other expensive clothing and Jewels that seemed to glitter than fireflies.With every turn I made, I couldn’t help but notice the beauty and extravagance, but I couldn’t quite shake off the uneasiness in my chest.Thank Goddess Mia and Aria made me dress up well.It wasn’t the gown that clung to my ribs that made me feel worse, it was something heavier, something I couldn’t place my hand on, that sad deep in my stomach like a stone. Unmoving.I need a moment to myself. Just a moment to breathe.I flashed a smile at Dravon, forced and fake and gestured towards the other side. He barely nodded as t

    ~Elara~Seating beside him suddenly felt like I was daring to trespass into a forbidden territory, it made me both uncomfortable and sad.Dravon still didn’t look at me, not once since I entered this place.I caught the slight flex of his jaw as soon as I shifted in my seat, I couldn’t explain if it was out of irritation or something else, but man, it tugged painfully at my heart.My fingers trembled with the need to reach out and touch him, but I forced them to stay still.I couldn’t touch him or reach out, at least not when he was being that cold.His fingers curled tighter on the file he was holding, before he pushed it towards me.For half a second, I noticed his eyes flicker to mine, his blue eyes were banked with something I couldn’t quite name, but it was gone before I could put meaning to it.It felt so much like he was hiding something from me, or was he just being simply cold and untouchable.Or was he trying to tell me not to come close to him, as though it was dangerous to

    ~Elara~Smiling, I drew closer to Dravon, trying to snuggle with him but he was soft. He was way too soft.I quickly opened my eyes, my smile waning instantly.I wasn't holding Dravon, I was snuggling on a pillow.Dravon was gone. He had left.How could he leave without informing me?I looked around for a note or something that could explain his absence, but I found none.Couldn't he just have told me he was leaving? Why sneaking out on me after the moment we shared last night?A sudden thought crossed my mind, making me freeze.What if everything was just a dream?Lately I've been having super vivid dreams of Dravon, this could also be a dream.No no, I wasn't stupid. This was definitely not a dream, I had felt everything.What happened last night was definitely not a dream.His scent still lingered strongly in the air, my lips still tingled at the memories of his mouth on mine and-Yes! There's something that'll definitely prove that last night was real.I quickly dashed into my clo

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   064| Edge of Surrender

    ~Elara~I still want to slice through him though.Our wooden swords locked, pressing in, tension sparking between us.“Slighty better but still sloppy.” He commented, our sword still locked. His voice was smooth, as though the fight was nothing.“Arrogant” I shot back, my voice breathless.I tried to push him back but he was way stronger.His eyes caught mine, a mischievous glint gleaming in them.Then he smirked.With one swift motion, he swept my legs from under me.I yelped as I hit the platform, my sword clattering out of my hand. It wasn't a hard fall so I quickly tried to reach for my sword but it was kicked out of my reach.Before I could scramble up, Dravon pinned me down.He didn't hurt me, he just made me immobile.His hands caged me in, his face hovering over mine.My heart hammered so loudly that I was sure he could hear it.His eyes studied mine, moving around my face.The world around us fell silent, what mattered at that moment was just Dravon's eyes on mine.Our close
