~ODETTE

We had soon moved from the table.

To my greatest surprise, Rafael didn't live either. It was almost as if he was interested in seeing what I was going to give my parents.

With his watching, I had to live up to his expectations because right now, my life sort of belonged to him. He could end it at any time.

They all went to sit in the grand receiving hall as they waited for us to show.

I sighed heavily as I headed for the kitchen. Luckily for me, I found Clara just when I needed her.

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   13. THE FIRST TEST

    ~ODETTEInside the cell was quite cold.I didn't expect the temperature to drop drastically. I looked up at Rafael and I could see the excitement on his face growing even greater than before. He was enjoying this way too much and he had barely even started. I finally looked before me and that was when I found the prisoner. He was suspended in the air, hanging by both his bound arms which were held in place by the iron bars above him.The prisoner looked pale and dehydrated at the same time. It looked like he had sweat too much. But there was no sign of an injury in him. I could understand why, it was to not make Rafael's demon go out of control. Rafael turned to me. "If you want to tame my demon, then you need to understand just how excited it is to inflict pain on others. It feeds on pain and fear." I swallowed hard as I watched him walk toward the man. "The Demon Rafael himself has finally braced me with his presence. . ." The rogue said as he stared straight at the prince.

    ~ODETTEThe towering structure of Fortress Valaris came into view as we neared the gates. The fortress looked dark and intimidating. It was a place where only screams of agony floated out. It looked like a place of despair and I doubted if laughter ever gets to exist within those walls. The dark stone walls went on and on, leaving no room for breaking in. The only way in was through the large iron gates. The Gates of Hell.It was a name given to it by the people. Once one went in convicted for a crime, there was no coming back because the devil resided in those walls. And today, the devil himself was taking me inside. "You have not said a word since you sat in this car," Rafael said, breaking me out of my thoughts.That was when I looked at him and he leaned in even closer. "Are you getting cold feet?" I did not break eye contact as I stared straight into his green ones like it was a silent challenge that we were having. "My prince. . . I am too warm to develop cold feet." He

    ~ODETTESilence befell the room.Everyone was too shocked to utter a word as they took in the gift I had presented to my parents. "How dare you bring rotten fruits to your father?" Rowena finally yelled, breaking the cold silence. That was when all hell broke loose. People began to murmur and point fingers. "She has guts! Bringing rotten fruits to her own parents!" "She is such a disobedient child!" "She is the black sheep! The bad luck! That's why she wears black!" "It would have been okay if you brought the rotten fruits only to me. I am nothing but your stepmother. We all know you never liked me despite all that I have done for you," Rowena continued. "But how could you bring this to your very own father?" "Is this how you treat me, you insolent child?" Father roared. "You disrespect me before all eyes!" "Father, take it easy on her, she's just angry that Adrian dumped her and she's trying to take it out on you for not stopping it," Camille added in a sugary voice. I was

Luckily for me, I found Clara just when I needed her."Would you let me trouble you for a bit?" I asked as I came to a stop before her.She widened her eyes at me. "I was so overjoyed when I heard that you survived the night with that monster. How did you do it?" I smiled at her. "When you have a strong goal at heart, not even death can stop you." She bowed to me in respect once more. "You are no ordinary woman, my Lady. I serve you now. I exist for your purpose, for as long as you live in this palace." I nodded. "Take this list," I handed her

    ~ODETTECamille suddenly blinked hard before forcing an obviously fake smile onto her face. "O— of course not," she stuttered. "I was so worried sick about you. Thank the goddess you are okay." I wanted to tackle her right there, but it would not be a very good impression at my first royal breakfast. Rafael suddenly cleared his throat and this reminded the entire room to show their respect. The nobles rose and all bowed to us. "Your majesties," they chorused. That was when Rafael moved again. "You may continue." The room resumed its previous activities and he walked to a seat very close to the head chair which I presumed was reserved for the Alpha King. I wondered where he was and if he would be joining us for breakfast. When Rafael arrived at his chair, he did the last thing I expected. He pulled out a chair for me. I widened my eyes at him before falling quickly onto the seat. Why was he being nice? This man had tried to kill me three times already in private. "I must sa

    ~ODETTEApart from always doing daring things to keep amusing the demon Rafael. . . I also needed to prove my worth to him. And I had found just the best way to do that. "I survived," I answered softly. He narrowed his eyes on me. "By poisoning me?" I smiled. "No, Rafael. I restrained it." His brows slowly rose at my daring answer. Then he leaned even closer so that we were only inches away. My body temperature rose at the body contact and I could feel my wolf dancing with excitement. Whatever was making her so happy, I couldn't tell. "You think you restrained my demon?" He asked. "You have grown bold. I should break your wings now before you soar too high."I never broke eye contact or reacted to his words. "Fine, go ahead. . . But know that in doing so, you'll never again find someone who can control your demon." This time, he laughed. "Control my demon?" He corked his brows at me. "You barely survived last night." "Yet I am still alive. I doubt if the others ever survived
