~Elara~

I glared at him for trying to evade my argument. I wore the ID around my neck, standing up.

“I'll take you to your new team.” He offered, also standing up to lead me.

He went outside the palace to where two white sedan cars were parked. They were indeed a group of people waiting.

Everyone bowed on spotting Dravon.

“She'll be joining you on this trip.” He announced to them before heading back without another word.

I felt the people throwing curious glances at me. I gave them a shy wave with a smile.

Everyone was wearing the same ID card like mine.

A lady who looked like she was in her forties came forward. I noticed she had a few strands of white hair.

She held out her hand. “I'm Justida, the group head. It's nice to have an addition from the palace to the team.”

I shook her hand. “I'm Elara, it's nice to be part of your team.”

“We're already running late, we need to be on our way. Ask someone on your bus to give you the details of today's trip, okay?”

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   061| Sexy in Ugly pajama

    ~Elara~He hasn't spent a night in his bedroom for days, I was low-key not expecting to see him tonight.But that isn't what made me freeze.He was shirtless, again.I shouldn't be fazed at his shirtless-ness. I should be used to this sight; this isn't anything new.But those muscles were so well defined and those abs, ugh! I just wanted to run my hand through them.Heat spread through my cheeks, as I swallowed.“I think we can make here your permanent room, you seem to like my chambers more.” Dravon said, bringing his eyes to meet mine.He doesn't seem to know the effect he had on me, or maybe he knew and was just pretending.His eyes left mine, travelling down my body, a smirk tugging his lips.The intensity of his gaze made my skin tingle, the warmth on my cheeks spreading to my chest.How could he stare at me like that when I was wearing the most hideous pyjamas ever?My idea was a flop.“Told you” Ney willfully reminded me.“What an interesting choice of night wear.” Dravon said,

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   060| The Pajama Defense

    ~Elara~“Nope,” I said out loud to myself as I rummaged through my clothing rack.I was looking for the appropriate outfit to wear to spend the night at Dravon's room.Since the assassination attempt, the palace has been a shadow of it's usual busy self.Servants rarely lingered at the hallways, the courtyard was used as an investigation area to question people in the inner court of what they knew about the assassination.Today was somewhat better, the investigation team had left the palace and most servants were back fully.The palace was a bit livelier than the past three days.My training was cut short due to the incident and now I spend my days with Mia.The corridors of the palace now carried an unfamiliar stillness, different from the usual flow of activities here in the palace.Even though there weren’t many laughter or discussions like back at Winterwood, at least there were tiny sounds of movements, hurried conversations and faded murmurs every time I get close. Sometimes the

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   059| The Masked Intruder

    ~Elara~The shadow was subtly making his way towards me, while I sat still on the edge of the bed, pretending not to notice.My stomach flopped as I thought of my next action.I decided to defend rather than attack, that was the best action at this point.As the figure moved closer, I anticipated his attack ready to lurch at him.“Move!” Dravon's voice rang throughout the room, as he suddenly appeared at the door of the bedroom.Before I could blink, his hands were on mine.His grip was firm and unyielding as he quickly guided me to move behind him.I could see the attacker clearly now, it was a man. He wore a black mask, covering only his nose and mouth.He also wore an all black outfit to blend in with the dark night.The attacker threw himself at Dravon, bringing out a silver dagger.Dravon's reaction was very swift, even for me. With fluid precision he shifted us aside before the dagger could touch him, pushing me out towards the bedroom door so I could escape.But I couldn't leav

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   058| Between Desires and Shadows

    ~Elara~With my heart beating erratically I closed the bedroom door, sitting at the edge of the bed.I couldn't believe I almost kissed Dravon.I couldn't believe I didn't kiss Dravon.I had been anticipating this moment for a long time. Those full lips of his were so attractive that anyone would want to have a taste, but yet I turned him down.His face had been so close, so close that if I had reached out, I would have claimed his lips. The flecks of gold that flashed across his blue eyes as though his wolf was trying to take over. I can still feel the shards of fire in my stomach from that scene.Never in my life has space felt like a crime… like death. He had carefully covered the space as though it hurt him too, until the space shrunk, charged and trembling with something stronger than I have imagined.I swore I could feel the warmth of his breath brush across my lips, it was teasing and hot with something I know I shouldn’t want in a normal sense, but yet I crave it badly.I stil

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   057| Not Yet

    Swift to deny it, I quickly responded back. “No I wasn't! There's nothing special to see anyway.”I was obviously lying and he knew it. He had caught me gawking at his shirtlessness last time.He raised his brows. “Oh really?”“Yup” I answered, fully stepping into the bedroom and closing the door behind me.The room was suddenly silent as Dravon's eyes ravaged over my body. He stood still, fully taking me in.He was the one undressing me with his eyes now.I knew I should've worn my matching pyjamas. The weight of his look and the desire in those blue eyes of his made my stomach flutter. A tingling sensation washed over me as I tried to evade myself from the intensity of his stare.“So… we're just sleeping right?” I asked, trying to diffuse the sudden tension in the room. I moved towards the bed, sitting at it's edge.Dravon brought his eyes to meet mine, his expression turning to a playful one. “You want me to read you a bedtime story or sing a lullaby?”This is what I loved about

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   056| In heat

    ~Elara~I sauntered in the hallway smiling ear to ear as I recall the events of my day.My training with Vincent was becoming more interesting now that he knows I'm a bit experienced in fighting.After he saw me fight with Dravon, he had a different expression from what I expected. I have a feeling he even saw me and Dravon almost making out. Today, he was smiling when I arrived, like he had gotten to know a very big secret. I braced myself for Vincent’s irritation or anger, but instead, he shot me a smile I didn’t expect. He tilted his head, as though studying me like a puzzle he had finally solved, and then he motioned me forward. “That was impressive Elara, that means you’re ready for this.” For a moment, I was caught off guard, I didn’t know how to react to that. “Ready for what?” He grinned when I asked that, and I subconsciously swallowed. Why did that seem terrifying?The training cut out every last bit of strength and preparation I thought I had. He was good. H
