CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE 189| The Prisoner's secret
~Elara~Lord Veyra is noticeably absent, again.Kyle is thrown to the center of the room, the sound echoing like thunder.Dravon takes his seat at the head table and I sit beside him. Thorne remains standing, arms crossed, every inch the wrathful protector.“Beta Kyle of Winterwood,” Dravon begins, his voice echoing. “You are accused of treason, conspiracy, and attempted regicide. How do you plead?”Kyle laughs. “Oh, I think the part where your lover almost gutted me in public answers that.”“Answer the question,” Dravon growls.Kyle smirks. “Fine. Guilty. Happy now?”A murmur ripples through the room.“The Queen was indeed right.”“I can't believe Lord Veyra's daughter was working with this criminal.”“Everything is making sense.”“He should be publicly executed.” I raise a hand, silencing them.“Why?” I ask simply. “Why do all this? Betray your pack, your king, your people?”He looks up at me through bloodshot eyes, something dark flickering behind them.
CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE 188| The trial of Betrayal
ELARA'S POVThe day breaks heavy and gray, like the sky itself is mourning. “If there's anything else, please don't hesitate to tell me.” I say to the royal healer.“Sure, Your Majesty.” He nods. “I’m positive he'll be fine before the sun sets tomorrow.”“I'll be holding on to your word.” I stand to leave. “I'll be back tomorrow, thank you once again.”“It's an honor, Your Majesty.” He bows as I leave.I leave the royal infirmary, heading towards the court room. I have to address the court council since Dravon isn't yet back from Winterwood. He assured me he'll return yesterday but it's already sunrise yet there has been no news or sign of him. I left Winterwood alongside Mia in order to take Lucien to our royal healer. Luckily, he's already stable, just unconscious. We just need to wait till he awakens.The burden I feel in my chest has been lifted. I don't think I would've ever felt free if Lucien had died, not because I deeply care for him but because the guilt that once again, so
CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE 187| Better Me than You
~Elara~He stops pacing, meeting my gaze. “I can't, it just happens.”“Find a way,” I reply, my tone serious. “You can't just kill anyone that offends you.”He steps closer to me. “They tried to attack you Elara. How can I let them live?”I let out a sigh. “I understand that you want to protect me, but death isn't the answer for everything. We need Kyle alive, I feel like there's something we don't know about. We need more answers from him.”A comfortable silence settles between the both of us as we watch Lucien's chest rise and fall.“Do you think he’ll make it?” I ask softly, breaking the silence.Dravon looks at Lucien, then at me. “I’m guessing he will, if he reaches our Pack on time.”“I sincerely hope he survives.” I mutter, almost inaudibly.I feel Dravon’s eyes intensify. “It's not your fault, stop blaming yourself.”“Really?” I deadpan. “We all know that the blade was meant for me.”“And he willingly chose to take the hit. Nobody forced him.”My eyes widen. “That doesn't m
CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE 186| The Price of Saving Me
ELARA'S POVThe smell of blood and iron fills my senses. I can’t think, can’t breathe. I can only hold Lucien tighter, praying to the Goddess that he lives.Dravon kneels beside us now, his fury replaced with guilt that makes his eyes darken. “Elara,” he says softly. “Let them treat him.”“They’re trying!” I snap, my voice raw. “It’s not working!”He doesn’t argue. He just cups my face, grounding me for a second. The healer pulls back, whispering, “The poison is spreading fast. We need to transport him to your pack for treatment, they have the best healers and physicians. There's little we can do with this kind of poison.”Lucien groans again, and I grab his hand. His gaze flickers between Dravon and me. “There’s n- no need for all… all these.”I respond in a hush tone. “Of course there is. You saved me and we'll do anything to save you as well.”Dravon clenches his jaw, looking away. “You shouldn’t have done that, Lucien.” I can sense a tinge of jealousy in his ton
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
