"They do not get a peaceful afterlife. I make sure of that. As the devil, I can do with them whatever I please." He declared while I kept my gaze fixed on him."Fair enough." I said in a simple tone.Everybody looked at me. The males, Guirita, Shea, Samael."A human agreeing with what we do? Interesting." The male next to Guirita said, looking away again. I shrugged my shoulders. "If my child got raped, I would want them to end up in hell." I said truthfully. "But you're human... You're supposed to be all fair and square, and against any violence." Burta said."Not all humans are the same." I stated with another shrug. "No, we found that out quickly when we were in Lust." Burta retorted.Lust. Elle. Adrian. They had to know I was here. Somehow, they just had to know I was here. I was so close to my best friend, so close to my freedom."Right, this conversation is over. Fay, you'll join the hunt tonight. Clothes will be prepared for you. Burta, Janson, come with me. We need to discuss
I watched as Samael disappeared around the corner, still clutching the knife he had given me. Once he was out of sight, I turned and decided to explore the gardens in hopes of finding a way out of the castle grounds. If the hunt was outside castle grounds, there was a way out of here. If I could just make my way to Lust, I knew I would be safe with Adrian and Elle.God, did I miss my friends."Hello." I said to the first demon I came across. He froze, looked at me, quickly looked away and walked off without saying anything. "Hello." I said to the next demon I came across. He didn't even look at me. The demon just sped off in the direction he came from and didn't look back.The garden was empty. Everything that bloomed here, bloomed high and some points were even like a maze."Hey!" I happily said when I found a demon walking around, a big sword in his hands. He also looked at me as if I had gun pointing at him and took a step back. He looked like he was patrolling the grounds and sudd
She led me back into the gothic castle and the cool air caressed my skin almost lovingly, like it invited me in.I would have preferred to stay outside.We walked through the castle, passing numerous demons dressed in various outfits, some guards, some maids, all avoiding eye contact with me. Some even turned to face the wall, and I couldn't decide which was worse - being openly stared at or this strange behaviour. The demon woman who was leading me through the castle didn't look over her shoulder once. She knew I was following anyway, my steps were loud enough.I would definitely make a terrible spy.She guided me back to my room. Probably a good thing because I wouldn't of have had a single clue where it was.There was a new outfit laid out on the bed and I sighed at the lack of fabric one again. But anything was better than this skimpy dress. The demon woman stood in the corner, her gaze fixed on the floor. I knew what I needed to do. I had to change into another revealing outfit.
Samael stood on the other side, dressed entirely in black. A black tight sweater with long sleeves, black pants and heavy boots. No crown, no Wrath jewels, nothing to indicate he was the king.But he didn't need that. It was very, very clear he was the king here. There was almost a sort of aura around him, one that exuded danger and power. One that I didn't want to be near at all.As I entered, Samael looked up, his gaze fixed on my Lara Croft outfit.Fuck. I felt nervous.The demons remained motionless, the only sound being the crackling of the fire. Despite not being close to it, I could still feel the heat emanating from the flames. Samael nodded towards his side, indicating for me to come. Slowly, I made my way around the circle of demons towards their king.I walked behind demons and had a feeling they didn't like someone so close to their back, even if I was a human. One wrong move or look and Samael would deal with them. They had to ignore their instincts to attack whoever got
"Us demons are all the same, wildflower." Sam said, looking back at me over his shoulder. "He knew exactly what he did wrong.""Now. Jump up. We are very generous in the head start we are giving him." Sam ordered and I looked at his back. He was so tall.Placing my hands on his shoulder, I awkwardly jumped up and he caught my legs with his steel arms. I locked my feet at his stomach and wrapped my arms around his neck. He held onto my legs while I rested my head beside his. My heart continued to race, and I was certain he could feel its frantic rhythm, pumping blood rapidly through my body."You smell nice. Very nice." Samael abruptly said. Saying I was surprised was a heavy understatement, but a single compliment wasn't going to make me swoon. "I know." I responded, tightening my arms and legs around him.I didn't like this closeness between us. I would never accept a guy this close to me after being so rude to me like he was."I meant your blood, flower. The blood that I will be dri
We reached the first demon shortly afterward. As soon as he spotted us, panic spread across his face when he realized it was Satan coming for him. Sam effortlessly pulled him down from the tree, checked his neck, and swiftly snapped it, all while I remained on his back.The next one was still running, trying to escape. Sam easily outran him, first snapping his knee to stop him from running and then checked his neck again. Another red stripe. First he broke the other knee, then he kicked his head so hard that it half exploded.The third one was hiding in a cave underground. I didn't see him, but Samael said he heard him. Heard him hiding. And smelt the vile smell of him from miles. There were more hiding in here, he said."Some think they can get away." Sam said when he entered the cramped cave. It was too small for me to remain on his back, so I slid off and stayed right behind him. "Have you ever had any escapees?" I asked when I slid closer to Samael, the cave being too dark for me
Multiple footsteps were suddenly right behind me and I looked behind my shoulder to see multiple pairs of red eyes coming my way. Terror struck me. Without thinking, I sprinted through the darkness, but a hand made contact with my back, causing me to let out a piercing scream. I stumbled and fell hard, banging my head, but I ignored the pain, pushed myself up, and continued running.Suddenly, Sam's roar reverberated through the air. Just as another hand grazed my exposed back, I screamed once more.All movement behind me disappeared. "Get her, Wruy!" Sam's voice boomed, and then a firm grip seized my arm, pulling me backwards. I kicked whoever it was and heard Wruy grunt out. "Fuck me. You're strong for a human." Wruy complained, keeping his hand on my arm. Another hand touched my other side, and I yelped away again, right in the body of Wruy.Whoever was touching me disappeared also.There was so much sound of fighting, pain and cracking bones that all my brain could give me was pani
"What does that mean?" I asked, my head swimming.A mischievous smirk adorned his face as he replied, "Oh, my sweet wildflower, we are going to have a very interesting night." He said, his tone filled with secrecy.I could feel my eyes growing heavy as I questioned, "Why?" My voice came out small and uncertain."You're getting high. I did take too much, since this is your first time. Fuck. I'm the first ever to bite you and take your blood. That means your body will adapt to mine. Right now, my saliva is coursing through your veins and your body will see it as something stronger. It will try to keep it, to strengthen itself. Your body will recognize that to get more saliva, it needs to provide blood in return. It will happily do that. Your body is working very hard to adapt to my needs, and my needs only. It's basing everything entirely on my saliva alone. And you're getting high. In a few hours, you'll be craving more." Sam explained in detail, still walking out with me.He did what
