Lahat ng Kabanata ng Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Alex still could find comfort in Dmitri’s decision. After all, he has known the Demon King since they were children. He was practically Dimitri’s caretaker growing up. Especially after his mother succumbed to a curse that took almost half of their people – the exact same curse that they are trying to prevent by performing the blessing ritual every year. And Dimitri has decided to call the ritual off for a mere sacrifice. But if Alex is being honest, he does understand why Dimitri would feel that way; Dimitri is, after all, still a male and the new sacrifice is definitely attractive.Fearing for the future of their people, Alex went to the only place where he could find comfort and solace; the one chamber in the castle that is hardly visited by anyone, even the current Demon King – the Chamber of Dedication. It is a chamber far detached from the main keep, towards the back of the castle. At one look it could be mistaken for a shabby shed, but no one wou

“What the hell are you doing here?” Dimitri’s face had a mix of shock and anger as he saw Amanda by the door. It was 3 in the morning and he is about to get some sleep after a long night, and suddenly his door opens to reveal this feisty woman, wearing nothing but her night gown.“Who the hell told you to come here?!” Dimitri asked without moving from where he was standing on.“I- I was-” Amanda looked for the right words to say. She started to feel the warmth on her face and her ears from the embarrassment, “The Maid told me that you asked for me! She even took me here!”“What maid? I don’t see anyone besides you,” Dimitri replied, looking behind Amanda and seeing nothing but an empty hall.“She left as soon as we arrived!” Amanda replies, realizing how she sounds and finally understanding why the Maid just left without announcing their arrival, she know something was of,

After Amanda cried herself to sleep that night she has never woken up as light-hearted. She is still in the darkroom, she can still smell the filth and hear the growls and moans of the beasts, and she is still under the mercy of that pompous Lord of the castle. But at least she now has a clearer mind. She was able to cry out all of her bitterness that night and she is not one to stay slumped after an episode like that. This is now time to do something, to make her move. The first order of business, learn about the ins and outs of the castle, the people that she could most likely befriend, and the people that she needs to look out to. On top of her list are the Steward and the Maid; they are most definitely on the Lord’s side. The Harpy is neutral, and she already knows that Jessica is already a hopeless case – or maybe not. Maybe there is still something that she can do about Jessica and all the other girls who came before her. The question is what and ho

“Are you really sure about this?” Alex asked Dimitri as he returned to the mansion. “Putting herthere will delay the ritual even further.” “She needs to learn her lesson.” Dimitri replied, “Had we not found out, she would have successfully escaped. No one escapes me!” Alex was silent. He knows that the ritual would not be successful if the sacrifice is not willing. But he also wants to perform the ritual before the week is over. No one wants to experience the curse again. He knows that Dimitri is aware of that, but he also knows about his Alpha’s pride. They grew up together and he has been Dimitri’s Steward and Beta since they began living in the castle, and he knows that Dimitri will never change his mind, especially when a woman just tried to run away from him. Finally giving up and realizing that trying to change his Alpha’s mind is pointless, Alex excusedhimself and left for the courtyard. There was only one thing that he can

“All right,” Alex said as he saw that Amanda was ready to listen to his tale, “I shall begin. . .Even before the time of the First Demon King, our people have already been living in the forest. We – the Werebeasts – along with the other non-humans and half-humans lived in the vast forest that was provided by the Earth Mother. Each race was given portions of the forest to govern, maintain, and protect. Of course, given that each portion was equally abundant to the rest of the forest, the races mostly only tended to themselves. But of course, that abundance was short-lived.“The Races started to multiply and we started to need more and more resources, and requiredmore land. That was when the races started to think about expanding. Although there weretensions, there wasn’t really any real threat by then. There were still enough spaces between the territories. I bet the gods have thought about that.&l
