Ducan's p.o.v As the generals left the throne room. Ose remained behind as ordered by me. Once they were all gone, he quickly moved closer with a concerned expression on his face. "Ducan, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked seriously. "Yes." I answered. "Okay, but I too want to ask you something. Was it the right decision to keep the female humans here?" He asked loudly. I understood his concern but what did he expect me to do?. Kill them all?. "What exactly did you have in mind?" I asked back. "I thought you were going to send them back to human territory." He answered. I smiled then raised my hand, gesturing to him to move closer which he did. "Sending them back would make me look like I'm weak. The priests would think I value the female humans a lot and they would be sending more of them every time until we fall." I said seriously. He kept quiet then sighed heavily. "You sure do have a point but then think about what they could do to our generals and warrio
Ose's p.o.v "It's not that you can't stand humans, it's just that you are stuck on wishing for someone that can never be yours." Those words were ringing in my head until now and they made me furious. My heart was aching badly and my form wasn't human any more. "Ose." Oni greeted me with respect. I ignored him and went to the main dungeon cell, looking at the women who all sat down in silence. Their feet and arms were chained to the chains that were linked to the walls, limiting their body movements. I could tell that they were strong and strictly trained. All weak humans would have been scared and in tears, not quiet and collected. "Dark fairies, I call on you." I said calmly as a few appeared next to me. All dark fairies had no specific gender and they were referred to by rank / name or the word it. They took any shape or form of anything they liked. So while others looked like male demons, some looked like female demons. A lot of them served those of high rank because they
Clair's p.o.v I was in so much pain as I kept my voice in. My body was trembling badly and it was covered in sweat. I couldn't hear my friends' words clearly but I could tell that they were panicking. I was grabbed by a hand roughly and forced to stand up. I looked at the snake man in front of me then stumbled. Before I could fall, he quickly held my waist lifting me up on his shoulders ( caveman style ). I wanted to hit him badly and yell at him to drop me, but I had no strength left in me. All I could do was stay still as he walked out of the dungeon. I closed my eyes when I felt dizzy and tried to normalize my breathing. My throat felt like it was closing up and it was getting hard for me to breathe. I was thrown on the bed roughly in a second as the pain Intensified. I wanted to sit upright but he pushed me down. "Stay still." He ordered when he leaned in. I was about to refuse when he bit down my neck. The sharp stabbing pain that pierced my heart made me tear up. I k
Ose's p.o.v "Ose." The ancient witch called for my attention. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed and in a drawn circle while drawing some symbols. "Yes, ancient one." I answered softly. "Is there something troubling you?" She asked. "No." I denied then focused on what she was doing. I was more than troubled because of the female warrior's words. The way she acted was unlike any other being I had been with. What shocked me the most, was how she admitted to liking my demon form. She was definitely trying to get me to lower my guard because I knew humans hated snakes. All those years I spent watching Eleanor, I understood that snakes were either killed or treated badly by humans. Some humans even ran away from them thinking they are all evil or deadly. "Ancient one, pardon my question but, was there any human being who had ever liked a demon besides Ducan's late mother?" I asked curiously. She stopped drawing some symbols on a few cloths that had the female warriors'
Zara's p.o.vI was moving back and forth in the holy temple furiously.How dare my father treat me like a damn kid!.The whole way he was trying to get me to sing lame children songs in the carriage and he was laughing all alone like a mad man.Once he got to the capital, we went to the temple where he forced me to wait for him while he went to meet the high priest in his office.For half an hour I was standing alone like a stupid statue!."No, I don't have to listen to his words." I whispered to myself then matched out of the temple.The temple was very big and the wall fence that surrounded it was even bigger. Taking a walk to pass time was a good idea and that's exactly what I was going to do.I moved and slowly walked to the back while looking around.When I heard some voices ahead, I quickly rushed there.There was a door in the wall and it was slightly open.I knew crossing it would put me in trouble, but I just wanted to see what was going on there. I was so curious to know.I
Eleanor's p.o.vI turned calmly and opened my eyes with a smile across my face. I felt well rested and at peace.I looked at the door ahead, then frowned deeply when I remembered how Ducan was still in my room last night.I quickly sat upright and turned only to meet the demon King's eyes.He sat behind his desk looking at me seriously without blinking.I shifted my gaze to his hands which were on the desk with a rapid beating heart. I wanted to see if he had blood on them or not. The thought of him finding Ducan on his bed and killing him made me very scared.A sigh of relief escaped me when I saw how he had no blood on his hand or clothes."Get up." He ordered, then raised a finger to me as a gesture to do it quickly.I nervously moved and got off the bed."Take off your robes." He said as I moved my hand to the chest grabbing the robe in a fist.No, I didn't want it to happen again. I don't want to get hurt or harassed by him like last time.I would take hits and I would fight back
Clair's p.o.vI stayed for hours waiting for Ose to come back. Since he left the room I decided to stay put and not do anything that would put my life in danger. It wasn't wise going around an unknown kingdom when I was their enemy, attacking him too was out of question. Besides liking his form, I didn't want to be attacked by all the demons and have my friends killed because of me.The fact that I was still alive was a good thing. Yesterday I panicked and acted rashly by attacking those demons in the dungeon. It was a wrong move that would have cost us all our lives. But after hours of thinking carefully, I decided to play my role of a slave very well, since I already liked what form my master had, it was going to be easy to have him lower his guard.While earning his trust, I was going to befriend the maiden and convince her to go back with us. If she agreed, I would proceed to study the whole kingdom and know where all entrances were. I would also know all the duties of each dem
Ducan's p.o.v I sat on my throne tapping my hand on my thigh trying to calm down. I was feeling impatient and uneasy. A few minutes already went by and Eleanor wasn't yet here. Was I too hard on her?. No, of course not, I didn't treat her badly. Was it my words?. Did I scare her again?. Or was I too demanding when I told her not to make me wait?. Was my hand on her body aggressive?. I couldn't stop thinking about how I acted and it was slowly making me lose my composure!. She wasn't thinking of running away again, was she?. No, she couldn't do it without telling me about it in my human form. Then why was she taking so long to come to the throne room when the demon servants were going to attend to her?. "Ducan." Ose whispered in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked seriously. "The generals are wondering why you look very upset." He whispered under his breath. I shifted and looked at the generals who were looking at me with concern. A few of them
