~Elara~

I hear the main chamber door open and I quickly hide the cloth underneath the bedsheet, disrupting the love design they made with rose petals on the bed.

Dravon opens the bedroom door, stepping inside. He's still in his tuxedo that matches my burgundy dress. He looks around the room and his eyes finally stop at me. “What happened here?”

I shrug, unable to give an explanation.

Both of us stand hesitantly, the air awkward and tense. Nobody seems to know how to proceed from here.

“I can-”

“You should-”

The both of us speak at the same time, interrupting one another.

The awkwardness increases.

“I'll go first.” Dravon suggests. “You should change your clothes. You know where everything is being kept, I'll wait out there.” He gestures outside the bedroom.

“Okay.” I agree softly. His idea is better.

He leaves the bedroom and I let out a sigh of relief, the awkward air dissipating.

I quickly remove my dress and shower, putting on my night gown. There's no way I'm putting on that strin

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   220| The Queen of Frostfire

    ~Elara~I stand tall, my shoulders broad. “I paid a brief visit to the exiled clans turn rogues at Winterwood, trying to buy their support but they were hesitant. They declined.”Before I can continue, Lord Dimitri interrupts. “Your Majesty, you went to see the Winterwood rogues?”I nod. Everyone's eyes widen, murmurs rippling through the room. “My Queen, that's very dangerous.” Elder Hana says.“I know, but I did what was necessary for the kingdom.”“Why did they decline your request?” Elder Huncho asks, his brows furrowed and voice steady.“They don't want to be involved. They were still accessing which side to choose. But it seems they've chosen to be with Anita.”“How can you be sure of that?” Lady Mira asks, her handfan fluttering in the air as usual.“It's simple logic.” Dravon answers on my behalf. “Anita needs more rogues on her side. If she hasn't won them over, she can't dare declare war, because she knows she'll lose drastically.”‎‎I lean over the map, pointing to the bo

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   219| The Queen Who Will Not Die

    ELARA'S POVThe warmth between us fractures, replaced by that cold, familiar dread. Things have been too peaceful to be true. Finally the long awaited storm has arrived.‎‎Dravon rises first, his expression turning from lover to ruler in a blink. His eyes still flicker with the ghost of emotion but the King returns, the predator cloaked in power.‎‎I pull my robe tighter, my heart hammering. “What now?”‎We move out of the bedroom, opening the door to our chamber. ‎The messenger enters, bowing so low his voice trembles. “My King, My Queen… The war council has received a letter from the rebel, Lady Anita.”“What letter?” Dravon asks.“She has declared war on the kingdom. She says to prepare her throne and…” The messenger’s eyes flicker to me briefly.I intensify my gaze on him. “And?” ‎The messenger brings his eyes down, facing the floor. “And also prepare the Queen's grave.”‎My blood runs cold.‎‎Dravon’s jaw tightens. “So it begins.”‎‎I meet his gaze, the earlier peace replac

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   218| The Night Before Everything Changes

    ~Elara~I don't turn to him, rather I keep watching the guards. “You came back late.”“I tried to wrap things early, but some things are out of my control.”“Things are always within your control Dravon.” I reply.I can hear the sound of the cloak dropping on the couch. “I apologize for coming back late, My Queen.”Mia's words return back to my head. Indeed I've been living in delusion. I'm actively trying to put aside the impending storm coming, going about my daily activities while beneath me I know a war is coming. Not like the one in Winterwood, but a more serious one. Whoever is backing Anita is powerful and dangerous, the battle will be bloody. I'm trying to live in the moment, but my heart is not still.“You’re quiet.” Dravon says, breaking through my thoughts.“Am I?”“Yes, you are. Did something happen?” He asks, stepping closer. I can feel his presence before his hand even reaches me. It's a ripple in the air, that primal energy that always reminds me who he truly is. Not ju

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   217| His Gaze, My weakness

    ELARA'S POVI sit on Mia's bed as I watch her show me a night gown. The silk nightgown is beautiful on her, subtly accentuating her curves. I raise my thumb in approval.“Finally!” She exhales. “It was beginning to feel like I have nothing good in my closet.”“This one is nice.” I say honestly. “I’m guessing you're spending the night in Thorne's room?”She nods, then slightly frowns. “Is this weird? Talking about your Beta in this regard?” “You mean knowing my Beta's personal life through you?” I confirm.She nods again. I think about it for a while before responding. “I don't think it's weird. Thorne and I have a cool relationship and you're my friend. We did talk about Dravon the same way, did it feel weird?”“No, it just felt like two friends gisting.”“Same here.”She proceeds to hang the remaining nightgown in the closet.“Mia,” I call out. “I have a very intrusive question.”“As long as you're not asking for a very detailed breakdown of Thorne's and I act behind closed doors,

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   218| Never Underestimate Mia

    ~Mia~But here I am, almost sweating under the early morning sun, staring at Thorne like he’s lost his mind. The reality that I'm about to face a very experienced fighter is dawning on me. His muscles flex under the sun, almost making me drool but also bringing reality that Thorne is no ordinary werewolf. He's the Beta for a reason.‎‎“Don’t look at me like that,” he says, arms crossed, smirking. “You agreed to this.”‎‎“I agreed to learn, not die,” I shoot back. My voice echoes across the training ground, and a few warriors passing by chuckle under their breath.‎‎Thorne grins wider. “Learning and dying are sometimes cousins, sweetheart.”‎‎I roll my eyes. “If I die, I’m haunting you.”‎‎“I’d like to see you try.” He tosses me his wooden sword. I nearly drop it, it’s heavier than it looks. “Use that, I'll use your former sword.”My fingers wrap awkwardly around the smooth wood as he circles me like a predator assessing prey.‎‎His dark hair glints in the light, his shoulders b

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   217| Lesson One- Don't get Distracted

    MIA'S POVThe sun sits low over the Demon’s Pack training field, spilling gold across the sand and steel. With recent events, I've thought it wise to learn how to fight. In the Lycan kingdom, self defense is the best defense. Anything can happen at any time and it's best to be prepared. ‎I spot Thorne, he's already here.‎ Of course he is. He just stands there, tall, broad shoulders gleaming beneath the faint light, dark hair damp with the morning mist as he instructs a person that's training. As though sensing me, he tilts his head to me, his eyes finding mine, sharp and unreadable. And I swear my heart skips. “Why do you keep standing there? Come in.” Thorne says through the mate link.I look around and realize that I'm still at the entrance. I quickly walk towards Thorne, while still trying to take in the new environment.‎‎“You’re late,” he says, voice rough but annoyingly calm.‎‎“I’m five minutes early,” I mutter, glancing at the sky.‎‎“Then you’re ten minutes late,” he r
