บททั้งหมดของ Desired By The Two Devils : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Eric POV For a moment, I saw the expression on Kahlan's face change and it looked like she was going to ask me something. I desperately want her to listen to me. I must not let Hardin win. He must fail in wanting to pull me and my mate apart. "Eric, I_," she pulled to a stop suddenly when one of the maids walked in. I cleared my throat meaningfully and turned to walk toward the desk. Well, I knew what Kahlan was going to say. She was going to taunt me as usual. She wouldn't even listen to anything around her. She was so good at just listening to her voice. She was exactly like me. I wonder why the moon goddess would give me someone like me. It makes everything harder for me. And the elders are on my neck already. I didn't want to tell them that Kahlan was my mate until she accepted. Because as long as the elders were concerned, they would force Kahlan. Who cares about how she feels anyways? Somehow, the moment I discovered that my brother was involved in this, I started to care

Kahlan POV I couldn't really explain how disappointed I felt at what Eric just did. But I was expecting it. I didn't treat Eric very well, how do I expect him to treat me? But he could have tried to be more understanding, right? I turned around to see where Eric went and realized it was towards Marco. I watched them for a moment, forcefully, and finally decided to leave the hall. It was pointless anyway. I shouldn't have been here in the first place. Even at that, my legs felt very heavy. I didn't want to leave the party. I wanted to stay back and watch Eric. Perhaps, he would soon be free. Suddenly, Marco walked away from Eric and towards the entrance of the hall. It looked like he was going to leave. I hurried after him quickly. Well, if I can't hear anything from Eric, Marco would be in the best position to explain it to me. And this time, I'm going to listen to all the explanations and I will decide later if I'm supposed to believe it or not. I hurried up as I wanted to me

Kahlan POV Eric shook his head slowly. "I don't." I turned away slowly. So, it was right. Eric wasn't the main culprit but I've been treating him badly all this while. "Kahlan," Eric called softly. I swallowed harder and closed my eyes against the tears that threatened to seep from my eyes. I couldn't blot out my parents' images from my mind. I could still see them, in their blood. This is all my fault. If I hadn't left that day if only I wasn't that angry. But there's no point in regretting, was there? I've lost everyone and I've done something wrong to my mate, thinking he was the one that killed my pack. "I believe you," I said softly but even my voice sounded unlike mine. How was I supposed to face Eric despite all I had done to him? Would he be able to forgive me? I felt weak suddenly. Before I knew it, I was in Eric's arms. I must have lost my balance and he must have caught me. "I'm sorry, Eric. I'm sorry," I stuttered as I felt emotions cloud my mind. I couldn't eve

Kahlan POV After some minutes that Marco had walked out, I couldn't move. I wanted to wait for Eric as he had told me, but Marco's words rang in my ears again. I mean he has always told me the truth. It was because of him that I discovered that Eric was innocent. So, his claim this time must be right as well. Naomi? Eric's lover? I didn't want to feel anything for Eric but the mate bond kept drawing me closer to him. Even at that, I managed to do all I could but now that nothing was stopping me, I was starting to get jealous. I mean Eric is mine, he's my mate after all. On second thought, I got up from the bed. I'm not going to wait for Eric. In fact, I'm going to the party. I'm going to be with Eric. No one, not even Naomi will get my mate. "Hey! You look angry," a voice reached my ears. I looked up and my eyes went wide with shock as I stared at Hardin. "You don't look beautiful when you frown," he teased. I smiled. " Hi, how are you doing?" He shrugged slightly. "Fine. Yo

Kahlan POVMy heart skipped several beats as realization dawned on me. I only managed to ask for his forgiveness but it didn't change the fact that the Alpha was now mine.The elders must have been bent on making Naomi the Luna. No! I knew I must stop it! I must not allow it! My family was taken away from me. I won't allow such to happen to my mate."Ma'am," the maid jerked me out of my thoughts suddenly and I looked at her. "Is there anything I can do for you?"I shook my head quickly. "No, I'm fine but where is the Alpha having dinner with the Alpha?""At the royal dining room," she replied, bowing slightly.I regarded her for a moment and noticed that she was respecting me. Was there anything else I was missing? Well, I had no Luxury of more questions because I knew I had to do something before Eric got closer to Naomi."You can leave then," I told her and watched her walk out of the room before I pulled the blanket away and rushed to grab my clothes.A sigh escaped me as I stare
