31(DENVER HALES POV):After much deliberation I deceided to go for it even if i did not want to. Delanie wasn't telling me the truth and i had to know. I was supposed to get her contract from Kyle tonight but how could i take that risk when i had no clue of where she was. I needed to find her quickly before facing Kyle.We had different ways of uncovering truth but that was the only way i could go by in order not to let Delanie see the monster in me. That was why without thinking much further about it i kissed Delanie so I could find out the truth and at the same time not reveal my identity to her.And it worked out well. The kiss revealed everything to me down to the part that Delanie sold off her sister and Melanie signed another contract.I angrily left Delanie standing there on her own. If i had stayed there any longer then i would have torn her to shreds. That little girl has no idea what additional problems she just caused me. Of all the people that Melanie could have signed a

33My body weakened and it was like shock waves vibrated all round my body as i heard someone call my name. My heart beat faster and faster painfully and i wasn't sure if what i wanted was to turn around or to run out the door.Without turning to look at who it was i quickly calculated what the outcome would be. I would be caught either way so it's better i faced whoever called me but then how come someoine here knew my name?I turned only to see a wealthily dressed Kelvin looking at me with angry eyes."What the hell are you doing here?!" he asked me.I was so much surprised at his new appearance that it took me almost a minute to reply him. He looked even more handsome than minutes ago."Well?!" he yelled again.I shook my head, trying to snap out of it and only then could i speak."I came to save you but it seems you are doing much better here than i would think. What's going on?" I said to Kelvin."Thank you very much for your help. As you can see i am doing fine so if you don't m

35Someonne slid curtains open and the moonlight shone into the room i was in."Who are you?" I asked the one who still hadn't come into view. A beast walked out of the darkness of the shadows into the moonlight. I took two steps backward and fell on my butt to the ground. "P...Please don't... Don't harm me." I managed to say.The beast reached out for me with it's claws but i covered my face with my arms. "Go away!" I screamed with all my might. I heard a roar and then foot steps. I opened my eyes and the beast was no longer there. I couldn't help but have images of the best flashing in my head. Long twisted horns, red glaring eyes, fury masculine man like body, black in colour and clawed legs and hands, standing in front of me like a man. But where am i? I don't recognize this place. I got up and went unto the bed.I was weak from the stress and needed rest. I let out a yawn and closed my eyes hoping to shut out tonight's events from my head. I don't have any clue what that beas

37I jumped up on the stage and grapped the demon by the neck, lifting him to the air.I could feel all eyes on me but i didn't care. I was ready to teach this one a lesson. "How dare you touch what belongs to the king?! Now you are going to pay for it!" I said and started to tighten my grip on his neck even more."I... I won't do it a... again." he said in a pleading voice and i flung him to the side. He slide off the stage and my eyes met with that of the crowd's.They looked questioningly at me but that wasn't my main concern. I turned to Melanie and saw her seated in the cage, her back on the bars. She was shaking in fright and sweating as well.I was about to talk to her when i suddenly saw my uncle's eyes on me. It was too risky for me to act that way. I just pulled the lever that would take Melanie back down to the underground room then i left my uncle with the guests to deal with.I met Melanie there and i opened the cage. I brought out my hand to her but she stayed as she wa

39(MELANIE POV):He must be wondering what nerve i have to speak in that manner to him but that wasn't the problem right now. I was hungry and i wanted food instantly.I don't know how he did it but food appeared right in front of me but i knew better than to accept food from a demon. "No! I'm not eating that. You have to take me out." I retorted."Take you out?" he questioned."Yes. To get food." I replied."What's wrong with the food i just made appear before you?" he asked me."What's wrong with it? I'll tell you what's wrong. You gave it to me." I answered."And so?" he asked."And so i can't eat it." I replied."I fail to see your point here." he said."Why would i eat food offered to me by a demon? The king of all other demons as a matter of fact." I said to him and he seemed to have gotten the idea."Suite yourself." he said and walked back into the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on inside. He was really going to shower while i stay here hungry? I know this is some kind
