Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE: Bab 101 - Bab 110

ELARA'S POVI stare at myself in the mirror, trying to decide if the outfit I'm putting on makes sense.“Nope!” Ney says, disagreeing with my choice of outfit.“Ehhhh….” Mia starts, sounding unsure. “It looks good on you but I don't think it's good for this event.”I turn to look at her, pouting at her response. We've been trying to figure out which outfit suits me best for this afternoon formal court gathering.It turns out that Dravon came to my room yesterday to personally invite me to today's court gathering.This wasn't like other court meetings where only the court council were present. This time around, every single official in Demon's Pack will be present as well as one representative of other Packs. It was a biannual event and is apparently a very big deal. The growth of the Packs and kingdom are discussed in this gathering, issues and beefs between packs are settled, and ideas are suggested.It's a strictly formal event and I'm currently having a hard time finding what t

ELARA'S POVI lay in a cradle position in my bed, my mind whirling in different directions. I'm still putting on my pants and camisole from last night, the bright sun shining outside a reminder that it's already noon.Last night felt like a dream, everything changed in a blink of an eye. One minute I was joking about Lord Dimitri's ridiculous remarks with Justina, the next I was standing on the podium, smiling as I'm being announced as the next Queen.Any outsider will think I'm bluffing or I'm wielding up stories, but this is in fact reality, my current situation.I’ve replayed last night's scene a hundred times already. Dravon's announcement, me choking, everyone's shock, Anita's glare, Dravon's grip on my hand, his voice low and commanding in my ear. The crowd’s silence, and then their whispers. Oh, the whispers. Throughout yesterday's event I was fuming with rage, hiding it under a smile. I'm becoming too good at putting up a mask because of this damn palace.I had to stand with

MIA'S POVI look around before stepping inside my room and locking it shut.These past few days have been intense, Thorne was everywhere I went. At the royal garden, in the open room, just everywhere.Anywhere I turn I see him lurking around in the shadows. I don't know how he carries out his Beta duties while still lingering around me.At first I found it cute, him staying in the royal garden under the pretense of inspection just to get a glimpse of me. Now it was now an everyday thing with him restricting my interactions with male coworkers.I don't know what excuse he keeps giving Madam Florence that she let's him in everyday.When I stay in the open room to familiarize with courtiers, he also lingers around.It's becoming maddening at this point, he's actively stalking me and monitoring my movement.Thats why I decided to stay in Luna Elara's room yesterday when she went to the biannual event. I knew Thorne would be there, I just wanted a moment away from him.Since he first invit

MIA'S POV I adjust my wide brimmed hat as the sun shines brightly in the sky. As someone who is used to cold weather is Winterwood, the sunny weather here is something I'm struggling to adapt to. Apart from star gazing, another reason I love going to my balcony at night is due to the chilly night breeze. It gives me a familiar feeling that calms my body. No matter how long I stay out in the sun, I can't just get accustomed to the heat. I leave the tap, jacking two watering cans and heading towards the flower beds. When I get there I drop one, carrying the other as I water the orchids. I hum as I move from one bed to another, careful not to pour over water. Suddenly I feel a sensation of being watched, a feeling I'm now very well familiar with. I turn, searching around but I find no one. I'm the only one in the floral session. I try to brush it off and tag it as Thorne usual stalking, but this time around it feels different. I can't explain it but I know it's not T

MIA'S POVI ‎wake to the first light creeping through the thick curtains, reluctant to leave my bed.I just lay down, staring at the ceiling, the golden rays filtering in from the window warming the coolness of my room.My body feels heavy, like I’ve been carrying invisible weights overnight. Maybe it’s the dream I had last night, maybe it’s Kyle's sudden appearance or maybe it's both.Kyle has been in my head since yesterday. I just can’t shake the way his sharp eyes and cruel smile haunt me.I wonder how he got into the palace and successfully secured a job without Thorne's or the King's notice.But this Kyle, anything was possible with him.Time hasn't changed him, he is still the same person from Winterwood, probably even more cruel.I feel stuck, I can't report Kyle's presence to anyone. I can actually, but it will cost me a secret. A secret I've kept hidden and almost forgotten, a secret that fills me with guilt and restlessness.What will everyone think of me when Kyle reveals t
