~Elara~

My breath hitches, my cheeks heating up.

Dravon gives me a quick peck on my lips. “We have an important agenda for tonight's event, let's get going.”

He let go of me and I almost struggle to stand still with my knees feeling weak.

Dravon picks up my bag and hands it over to me. I notice my lipstick stained his lips.

I giggle. “You have lipstick marks on your lips.”

“Ready? It's good then, I want to show the whole council why we're arriving late.”

It may sound like he's teasing but Dravon is very capable of walking out there with those stains on his lips.

I stand in front of him, cleaning the stains with my hand. “Nope, you're not carrying this anywhere.”

When I'm done cleaning it off, Dravon tries to steal a quick peck but I dodge out of the way, laughing. “Behave, will you? I just finished cleaning the stains.”

Finally, we leave our chamber, heading to the dinner hall. As we both stand at the entrance of the hall, Dravon clasp my hand with his, whispering in my ears. “It's ti

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   185| When the Fury Fades

    ~Elara~My gaze meets Thorne. I nod my head.He gets the message and bravely goes towards Dravon. He's taking a risk that can end his life if caution isn't applied.“DRAVON, STOP!” Thorne’s voice cuts through the madness, but Dravon doesn’t listen. His fangs are bared, his rage wild. With his hand still around Kyle's neck, he slams him again against the marble pillar hard enough to crack it.‎‎“YOU DARE!” Dravon’s snarl echoes. “You dare aim for her!”‎‎Kyle chokes, his hands clawing at Dravon’s wrist. His eyes are wide, not with guilt but fear. Still, even now, he tries to smirk.‎‎“Guess your perfect little queen isn’t untouchable after all,” he spits, his voice trembling.‎‎Dravon’s growl rumbles like thunder. The heat around him sharpens, making the air shimmer. I can feel it even from here, the fury rolling off him, burning and uncontrolled.‎‎This time, Thorne dives in, grabbing Dravon’s arm. “Enough! You’ll kill him before we get answers!”‎‎Dravon jerks away, breathing h

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   184| When Lucien Fell

    ELARA'S POVAs Dravon warns Anita, my attention shifts from Kyle to them. I can't believe that she tried to escape. How did she even free herself from the chains without anyone even noticing? That she-wolf is more sly than I thought.Then, the sound of steel cutting through air tears the moment apart.‎‎For a heartbeat, everything freezes, even my breath. My mind blanks. ‎The world becomes nothing but the hiss of air, the flash of steel, and the mad thump of my heart. The blade flashes under the light, spinning straight toward me, cutting through the air like death itself. It’s aimed straight at my chest. I don’t have time to scream, to move, to even think. ‎Everything fades, the voices, the chaos, the gasps of the council, until there’s only that small glint of silver growing bigger, closer, faster.My throat closes up. I can’t even gasp. The air feels thick, too heavy to breathe. Someone screams my name, maybe Mia or Dravon, but the sound is muffled, as though coming from underwa

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   183| The Blade's Arc

    ~Kyle~This is exactly why Lucien shouldn't be Alpha. He's way too dramatic and shows too much emotion. An Alpha should be cold, merciless. He should be able to eliminate all threats immediately, but here he is, still asking me questions.‎“I did what I had to,” I cut in. My words are a knife. “I made plans for the safety of Winterwood. You all are blind. I did it for the pack.”‎‎For the pack. For the power. For the future I wanted to carve out for myself. Elara keeps looking at me. Calm. Certain.‎Elara’s calm helps nothing. It only infuriates me.“You’re a curse, Elara,” I spit out to her, my voice echoing through the room. “Everything you touch turns to ash!”‎‎Her gaze meets mine, sharp as glass. “And yet here you are,” she says softly, “burning in your own fire.”‎‎I laugh, a rough, bitter sound. “You think this is over? You think dragging Calistra down fixes what you’ve done? You’ve destroyed Winterwood! You made Lucien weak. I was only doing what was right for the Pack. I

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   182| The Beta's downfall

    KYLE'S POVAnita is dragged into the meeting room, her hands cuffed with chains. Gone was the put together and extravagant she-wolf, now replacing her is a tattered one with eye bags with her clothes slightly torn. Never in my life did I imagine Anita would look this way. The once graceful noble is not a mere prisoner.“Anita is here now.” Elara announces, staring at me. “Can you still boldly deny your treacherous plots?” I keep mute, knowing there's no way out of this now. For Anita to be in this state that means they've tortured the truth out of her, she must have spilled everything already.“Since you don't want to speak, I'll ask Anita to do the speaking for you.” Elara shifts her attention to Anita. “Tell everyone nothing but the truth.”Anita flickers her eyes to me, before staring at everyone in the room. She lowers her head before she starts speaking. “K- Kyle came all the way from Winterwood to the Demon's Pack in order to poison the King. He threatened Mia to administer the

    ~Kyle~“N- no, of course not.” I manage to reply. “Good.” She responds.What should I do? What should I do? Kyle think! You're smarter than this.“Who sent you?” The King asks the assassin, his voice low and dangerous.The assassin's eyes flicker to me. “The Beta who just tried to escape, he hired me.”I swallow hard. I'm done for!All eyes shift back to me. Elder Garrick gasps out loud.“Impossible!” Lucien exclaims. “Kyle can't be involved, there has to be an error somewhere.”“If you don't keep quiet Lucien I'll assume you're also in cahoots with him.” The King warns, shutting Lucien and every other person up.A heavy silence graces the room.“I refute any allegations laid against me. I did not hire anybody.” I boldly declare.“Lies!” The assassin cries out. “Your Highness, I wouldn't dare lie to you. Beta Kyle himself paid me to kill the Queen.”“Oh really?” Elara draws out. “Funny because he's actually the other person found guilty of treason.”The heavy silence breaks into hush

    KYLE'S POVI watch as Calistra is being dragged away, part of her neck already darkened by the King's touch. I dart my eyes between Elara and her husband, trying to hide my trembling hands. Elara knowingly meets my gaze, and the look in her eyes tells me all I need to know.She's planning to expose me too, she came prepared. From what I could gather, I learnt that Anita has already been detained and now, Calistra is in their custody. The obvious next target is me.But I'm not fretting. They can't possibly have enough evidence against me, I've been low-key during my stay in Demon's Pack. No one except Mia saw me vividly and I'm sure Mia won't snitch on me. She knows what's at stake if she does, I'll reveal her precious secret to every soul present.Lucien who was once sitting in front of me stands up. “My King, My Queen. I really apologize for these treacherous actions committed by Calistra. I honestly have no idea all these were happening, else I would've reported her myself. The peop
