MIA'S POV

I ‎wake to the first light creeping through the thick curtains, reluctant to leave my bed.

I just lay down, staring at the ceiling, the golden rays filtering in from the window warming the coolness of my room.

My body feels heavy, like I’ve been carrying invisible weights overnight. Maybe it’s the dream I had last night, maybe it’s Kyle's sudden appearance or maybe it's both.

Kyle has been in my head since yesterday. I just can’t shake the way his sharp eyes and cruel smile haunt me.

I wonder how he got into the palace and successfully secured a job without Thorne's or the King's notice.

But this Kyle, anything was possible with him.

Time hasn't changed him, he is still the same person from Winterwood, probably even more cruel.

I feel stuck, I can't report Kyle's presence to anyone. I can actually, but it will cost me a secret. A secret I've kept hidden and almost forgotten, a secret that fills me with guilt and restlessness.

What will everyone think of me when Kyle reveals t

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   117| Until she Breathes Again

    ~THORNE~My hands hover on her cheeks, unsure for a heartbeat. She looks so vulnerable and fragile.‎Rage burns through my veins. This all happened because I didn't pay close attention to her.But this is not the right time to scold myself. Not now. Not yet. Right now, my focus is Mia.‎I kneel beside her, brushing strands of hair from her face. Her skin is clammy, her lips parted as if she’s fighting for breath even in unconsciousness.She is mine, and I will not let her slip away. She'll get better.I go outside my chamber, turning to one of the guards. “Quick, tell Aria-” No, Aria is Dravon's most favoured servant. She's busy with the wedding preparations with Lady Elara. “Tell any servant to get a bowl of water and a clean cloth now!” I hastily reframe my words, my tone urgent.A guard scurries away while I wait by Mia's side, ensuring she's safe.At the sound of a knock, I dash out to the door, collecting the bowl and cloth, not bothering to even stare at the servant.I carefull

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   115| Bound by Betrayal

    ~MIA~“You know what I want, Mia,” he says, voice low and venomous. “I want obedience. I want loyalty. And if you don’t give it…” He snaps his fingers, and I flinch at the unspoken threat. “…everyone will know your secrets.”‎‎My pulse spikes, my throat is dry. My hands tremble at my sides, clenching into fists, my vision temporarily blurry before I steady myself. “You’re insane,” I whisper, but even as I say it, I feel my courage slipping away like sand through my fingers.‎‎He leans closer, and I can see the cruel glint in his eyes. His fingers brush against my arm. It's a movement that's light, teasing and threatening all at once. “Insane? No, Mia. I’m perfectly sane. You… on the other hand, you’re dangerous when you try to hide from me. That little secret you have…” He pauses, leaving suspense, “feeding poison to Elara… that one?”‎‎My stomach drops, my legs go weak, and my mind screams at me to run, to hide, to disappear. But my feet are rooted, glued to the stone floor. I can

    MIA'S POVI walk towards the storage house to get the fertilizer needed for today.I greet the worker in charge of the storage house. “Hi Lilian.”“Hi newbie.” She responds, calling me her usual nickname she assigned to me. “How're ya doing?”I force a smile. “I'm good, just here to collect the usual fertilizer.”She narrows her eyes at me. “You don't look fine honey, try taking a day off or something. This face of yours,” she says, gesturing to my face, “needs proper rest.”Lilian is a nice person, she's friendly and always tries to rope you into conversations. But the thing is that she's a big gossip like Lisa, I bet the news that I look pale will circulate within minutes I'm out of here.“I will take a leave soon, thanks for your concern.” I say, my voice sounding genuine.She shoves the book register towards me. “Write your name, time you collected the fertilizer, what type of fertilizer you took and sign. The whole normal procedure.”I fill out the requirements while she goes ins

    ~ELARA~As though she could see my confusion, Aria answers. “The royal sceptre will be blessed by the King and will be officially handed over to you when you're crowned Queen. It signals the passing over of authority and power to you.”There's a lot I need to learn.“Thank you. You may set them aside.” I say to the servant holding the tray containing the sceptre.With the servants still in my room, I turn to Aria, whispering. “Now what?”“I'll handle it.” She assures me before moving in front of all the servants. “You all may leave.”The servants trickle out of my room in an arranged order.This whole thing is new and overwhelming. Even as a Luna in Winterwood, I didn't have so many servants at my beck and call.Heck, me and Lucien didn't even have a wedding. We just found out we were mates and an honorary ceremony was held to declare me Luna of the Pack and that was it.It wasn't necessary for mates to wed, only those who are not mates and want to be together.Until the past few days
