The man began untying my hands and feet.

“Hold her down for me!” he barked.

Two other men seized my arms and forced me to the cold floor. I screamed and struggled frantically. I would rather die than let them violate me.

“Please, stop! Help me!” I cried out. Every time I screamed, the man slapped me across the face. This time, I didn’t even feel the pain—only raw, consuming fear.

He tore my dress open, and I screamed so loudly it felt like my throat was bleeding from the strain of crying and shouting.

God, please help me. Someone, please!

Then I heard a loud crashing noise—and suddenly, the weight on top of me disappeared. The hands pinning me down were gone, and the men quickly jumped up, pulling out daggers from their pockets.

“Who are you?” one of them asked in a trembling voice. I turned my head to see who had come—but instead saw the man who had just assaulted me lying lifeless in a pool of blood. He wasn’t moving. Was he… dead?

Yes. His throat had been slashed open with what loo

    Anger boiled inside him upon seeing Hazel’s bruised face. He wanted to go back and burn the bastards all over again and enjoy their screams of pain. He had been so scared and worried when he discovered that Hazel went outside the castle. If she hadn’t put as much perfume as she did today he would never have been able to follow her scent and find her.Never had he let his demon take over completely before, but seeing Hazel get hurt today made his vision red with anger. He would have burned the whole place if Hazel hadn’t been there, but he was regretful. Regretful because he had shown the beast he was, the devil he was to Hazel. He hadn’t want her to see that side of him but now she did and when she recovers and remembers clearly what happened today she would fear him forever.Leaving hazel to sleep Lucian made his way to the gatehouse while clenching his fists to suppress the rage he felt. Walking into the guardroom the guards moved out of his way as they sensed his anger.Oliver laid

    When I woke up I decided to take a bath. Lucian was sleeping next to me looking clean and fresh and here I was all dirty.I prepared a bath myself and rubbed the dirt off my skin and hair till I was satisfied then I grabbed a towel and wrapped myself in it. Walking out and into the room, grabbed a simple gown and slid into it then I dried my hair with the towel. Even though I was all clean I still felt dirty.My stomach growled. I was hungry since I didn’t eat lunch and it was nearly sunset. I wanted to go down and look for something to eat but looking at my reflection I couldn’t bring myself to walk outside the room. The bruises on my face and arms looked terrible and they still hurt. Thinking back of what happened made me sick. I was nearly r.a.p.ed, I would have been if Lucian hadn’t come in time looking like the Devil.I went back to bed and studied Lucian while asleep. I didn’t know what I was Looking for but I was looking for something. My eyes traveled to his fingers, no sharp

    Ouch, my stomach hurt. This time not because I was hungry but because I had eaten too much. I felt as if my stomach was going to explode. Lucian was sitting in front of me and seemed to be thinking about something, ignoring him I stuffed the rest of the food into my mouth. He probably thought I was eating unlady like but you know what? I didn’t care anymore. Since I wasn’t enough for him I planned on getting fat, maybe then I would be enough.Someone knocked on the door.“My lord, my Lady, princess Klara is here to meet you?” a maid called from outside. I panicked. Why was she here? I didn’t want her to see me like this. I looked at Lucian who still had a calm face.“Tell her to come in?” he said.“What no, wait?” I said standing up but the door already started to open so I hurried and hid behind the dressing screen. Lucian gave me a questioning look but then turned his gaze toward Klara who had just entered the room.“What brings you here?” I peeked from behind the dressing screen.“

    “Excuse me?” Lucian said unsure of what Rasmus meant. Why would a king want his sister to become a second wife when she was a princess.“You know that my sister Klara likes you. I would of course like her to get married to someone who isn’t already married, but I know she won’t accept someone else than you.”“Did she tell you that?”“No, but I know my sister.” Rasmus said. Lucian sighed. He already had enough problems on his plate and know he had to deal with yet another problem.“I have a meeting to attend, think about what I said carefully.” He said looking displeased himself before he left Lucian to stand alone there.“Your highness, as your personal adviser I suggest you take princess Klara as your second wife.” Lincoln said who had been listening to their conversation.“You need a friend at the moment not another enemy. Besides taking her as your wife will help you even when you become a King, I am sure her highness will understand. ”Lucian wasn’t sure about that. Hazel was alre

    Lucian paced back and forth in the room as he waited for Hazel. He needed to speak to her today, be honest with her and tell her about the situation with Klara. That would be the right thing to do he thought.The smell of food interrupted his thought. He couldn’t remember the last time he enjoyed food or s.e.x.No wonder his demon was hungry to come out.A few maids came in with the breakfast and started serving. Now and then they would look his way and blush. He was used to maids ogling at him but this time something was off.“Your Highness the breakfast is ready.” A maid informed looking down as her cheeks turned red.Really what was wrong with these maids?“Yes, you may leave.”They bowed and left giggling. Lucian continued with his pacing not giving a thought to why the behaved like that until Hazel came into the room. She was wearing a simple light pink gown and her reddish-brown hair was still wet from the bath. Oh, how he wanted to run his fingers through her hair.He quickly p

    His highness is going to marry Klara?" He asked surprised. I guess he didn't know about that."Yes. The king wants him to marry his sister in exchange for help.""Oh…but how can I help you?" he asked.I wasn't sure how either but I wanted to stop this."Your highness I just want to tell you that if you stop this we could all die.""I know" I said quickly. "I want to stop this without us dying, that's why I need your help."I hoped he could come up with something."There is only one way to stop this. It is to change Klaras mind about the marriage."I knew that was the safest way but I knew it wouldn't be easy because Klara would do anything to get Lucian."How can we change her mind?""That...we will have to think about." He said thoughtful."What about other allies? Is there someone else who can help his highness?" I asked."No. You know prince Lucian has a reputation." He said. I knew what he meant.Speaking of reputation, I still had to figure out what Lucian was. He couldn't be the

    Yawning I rubbed my eyes as I woke up. Strangely I slept well after such a long time. Could it be because Lucian was sleeping next to me? I looked over at Lucian and found myself admiring his beauty and wondering how someone can look as sinfully beautiful as he did. As usual I could only admire his beauty while his hypnotizing eyes were closed and again my fingers itched to touch him. No, I wouldn't make the mistake of touching him again while he was asleep. I had embarrassed myself enough last time. 'Only his hair. I would only touch his hair I convinced myself and slowly brought my fingers to touch his hair when he frowned. Was he waking up? His frowned got deeper and he mumbled something looking disturbed. Was he having a nightmare?"Lucian?" I said carefully and tapped his shoulder but he didn't wake up."Who are you?" he hissed in his sleep."Lucian! Lucian! Wake up!" I said shaking him slightly.His eyes shot open and he looked around confused."Lucian?""How?" he asked panting

    I...I was a bad wife, a useless one. Yes, I never gave anything to Lucian and there was nothing I could give him now either, on top of that because of my selfishness I could cause his death.Klara was right, I didn't even offer him my body and got angry when he went to someone else. I was indeed selfish. I didn't have the right to be angry when he never got angry with me for not sleeping with him. The only thing I have done so far is being scared or jealous.What really have I done for him? What great have I done so that I could tell him not to marry someone else because I am good enough? I couldn't say that because I wasn't."My lady? Are you alright? You look very pale." The maid who brushed my hair asked."I am alright." I said."Should I bring dinner? Maybe you are hungry.""No, I am fine. I'll go to sleep."I was running in the middle of the night through the dark woods where I could barely see where I was going, but I didn't care. I had to run if I wanted to survive if I wanted

    Lucian watched Hazel in her sleep. He had been watching her for a while now, but he never seemed to get tired. How could he? She was the only thing he ever wanted and now she was his.He looked out the window, it was almost midday but they were still in bed and Hazel was sleeping. He was relieved that she was safe even though his demon had taken over completely last night. It had scared him but Hazel hadn't been scared. She had still wanted him and for the first time, he hadn't despised his demon. He had accepted it instead and it brought a strange feeling of freedom. No more demon crawling under his skin anymore, rather, he and his demon had become one.This made him remember the strange man's words. Don't fight your demon too much, accept it instead.How did the man know that he would find peace if he accepted his demon? Whoever the man was, he wanted to meet him again.He gazed at his wife again. His foolishly courageous wife. To seduce him even though he had warned her clearly, it

    Chapter 42Married to the Devil's SonI opened my eyes slowly, unwilling to succumb the sweet dream I had been having. I realized it wasn't a dream, as I felt Lucian's arm around my waist, pressing my back against his chest. His legs entwined with mine under the sheets, his breath in my hair, fanning my neck.It hadn't been a dream. Lucian had made love to me last night in the most sensual, tender manner. I felt my cheeks heat and my body burn anew as I recalled the beautiful memories. It was an experience I had never had before and never thought I would have. Actually, I never thought such an experience could even exist. How could a single kiss make my head spin? A light touch burn my skin?My heart skipped a beat as I felt Lucian's arm tighten around my waist."Lucian? Are you awake?" I whispered."Hmm..." he said in a sleepy voice. Then it was quiet for a while. Had he gone back to sleep?Slowly, I turned around to face him. His eyes were closed but I knew he was half awake. Maybe

    "I don't know if I can do this." I said looking myself in the mirror."Yes you can My Lady. If you don't do this then princess Klara will."Irene had made me wear a beautiful white gown with nothing underneath."But isn't this too much?"Irene smiled."You are not naked, My Lady. You are still wearing a dress, just showing a little more than usual to make him want to see the rest." She winked.I didn't even know if this was a good idea. He had only yesterday warned me to not seduce him, but I wasn't seducing him really. I was just going to brush my hair and put oils on my skin, just as I do every night before I go to sleep. The only difference would be that I would be doing it in front of him now, which Irene thought would make him want me.I was doubtful but Irene was convinced. Well, she knew more about men then I did so I decided to take her advice."You don't have to do this if you don't want to." She said putting her hand on my shoulder."I do want him. I am just not sure if he w

    I stiffened. I don't know why. I knew he would kill his brothers sooner or later so why was I surprised? Now I understood why he was in such a bad mood last night. He must have been feeling terrible."Are you alright?" I asked standing up which brought us even closer to each other."Yes, Hazel. I am perfectly fine. I don't even regret it, it is a part of me to kill. Do you know how many people these hands have killed with ease?" He asked holding up his hands." I don't even need weapons to kill. I have killed far more people with my bare hands then a sword."Why was he doing this? Why was he trying to intimidate me?"Why are you trying to scare me?""I am not." He said grabbing my arms and pulling me closer gently. "I don't want you to be scared. I just want you to be careful.""Of what?"His eyes bored into mine."Of me. If you ever feel that I am acting different or aggressive then just go far away from me."Far away? No, I wouldn't. In fact, I wouldn't listen to anything he just sa

    "Who are you?" Lucian asked. The man walked closer."You should ask what I am instead." He said. The man was tall slightly taller than him and Lucian could feel the power coming from him."Are you like me?" Lucian asked remembering the man's claws."And what are you?" The man said. That was a good question. Lucian didn't really know what he was. All he knew was that he was different."I don't know."The man narrowed his dark eyes, They were frightening."I am not like you." The man said. "But I am not here to tell you what I am. If you want to win this war you need to stop being softhearted. You need to do whatever you need to do""Why would you care about me winning this war?" Lucian asked."I really don't care, I just don't like your brothers." He said."Do you know my brothers?""Yes." He said with a sigh as if he was tired of all the questions, still, Lucian couldn't stop himself from asking."How do you know them? How did you enter the castle?""If I can enter your dreams it's no

    Lucian had been gone for four days now and Irene and I got pretty close. She was a very honest person, never scared to say her opinions and I felt some kind of connection with her. It was as if she could understand me and what I was going through. Strange, because I was sure that she couldn't have gone through what I did, although she might have gone through worse.As days went by I really admired her more and more. She was a beauty with brains, very smart with her words and very graceful with everything else she did. But I was still doubtful and didn't trust her entirely. Not that she did something suspicious, I just wanted to be careful.Thanks to her the days didn't seem awfully long anymore, we would chat and laugh and unlike many maids, she had a genuine laugh, not a forced one. You could see she laughed because she wanted to and not because she was scared to offend me.My thought slowly drifted to Lucian. Even though I liked Irene's company I still missed Lucian."His Highness i

    "Who are you?" I asked the maid who made the room look like heaven. It smelled so fresh, like flowers starting to bloom in the spring. I could also smell the scent of cinnamon tea combined with something else I couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious."I am your new maid. My name is Irene My Lady" she said curtising."Where is Audrey?" I asked. Audrey was my maid. She was young nice girl whom I liked very much. I didn't want a new maid."She has been transferred to Princess Klara quartered, My Lady." The maid said.Klara. I was tired of hearing her name.Sighing I took my robe off and sat at the table where the scent of the delicious tea was coming from."Would you like some tea, My Lady?" Irene asked. I couldn't say no because I really wanted to taste this tea and see if it tasted as delicious as it smelled."Yes," I said. She poured me the tea and handed it to me with a smile."It will help you relax, My Lady." She said.As I was about to drink the tea I got suspicious. I didn't kno

    Death doesn’t knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without permission takes what it came for.I quickly placed myself in front of Lucian as if I could protect him from what was about to happen, but to my surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Lucians men almost threw themselves in front of our feet.“Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our families as hostages.” One of them said. I looked worriedly at Lucian but he was calm as usual.“Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families.” another one pleaded.Lincoln came into the room looking furious.“What are you doing?” He yelled at the men. “Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you care to live.”“It’s alright Lincoln.” Lucian said calmly. “You may leave to save your families,” he told the men.I looked surprised at Lucian. He was about to let half of his men go which meant

    Lucian should feel relieved but he didn't. He was bothered, extremely bothered. Why wouldn't hazel mind if he married Klara? Didn't she like him anymore?After she told him she didn't mind she had left him there, confused. Something was going on with her and he didn't know what. It made him nervous. He sighed in frustration."Is something bothering you?" Lincoln asked."Any news?" Lucian asked in return ignoring his question. His youngest brothers Peter and Nathaniel died. Peter killed Nathaniel and then Peter got killed by Adam. Some say Adam killed them both.Pierre might be sly and cruel but Adam was purely evil. He was the one who bullied him the most when they were younger."I think Adam is working with Pierre. Pierre must have promised him something." Lucian already knew Pierre was using Adam and as soon as he is finished with him he could kill him, but Adam was probably thinking that he was the one using Pierre. Lucian knew that Pierre was not the type to trust anyone even if
