39. Talia
I stared at him, without blinking my eyes, scared that I will ruin the moment between them. For some reason, I could hear my heart beating loud against my chest. My breathing accelerated like I just ran a marathon. My hands were clammy. What was happening to me? I thought while staring at him. Was it just because of his touch?
I leaned more into his touch, noticing how his eyes turned into a darker shade. I never got the opportunity to see the real colour of the eyes because they always keep changing colours. Maybe they are chocolate brown just like his hair, deep and dark. I wondered.
"Cara" He whispered inching closer. I could feel his breath on my face, which made me shiver. With each passing second, he closed the distance between us, and I was aware of the creaking sound of the bed.

Demon Kings Mate 40. Lukas
/Lukas POV/Lord Yama wanted to talk. It was never pleasant to hear that. He can be very persuasive, so I have to be cautious. In the party, he asked me to meet his gang, which was mainly the women he bedded. As much as I wanted to get rid of them, it was nearly impossible, and I lost the trail of Talia on that night. She did seem jealous by the attention I was getting.Shaking my head, I walked down the stairs only to notice Dean and Leo sitting with Yama. By the look on their faces, it was something important."Hello" I greeted as I sat on the opposite couch. Yama was drinking his smoothie. It was always funny how we don't need anything to sustain, yet the food items are still lying around.Yama sat up and motioned towards green who was holding a scroll in his hand. The outstanding invitations or n
Demon Kings Mate 41. Talia
The moment I stepped near the portal I held on to Lukas. I had no memory of the time I was bought to Hell by Dean because I was unconscious for most of it.When Lukas said that I should go along with him to Underworld, I had no idea that Lord Yama will be joining us. He was invited to the Ball. I tried to read or find any articles about the mentions of Annual Ball. Unfortunately, all I could see where invitations sent to Lukas from different Hell.Leo was able to attend a few of them with Lukas, so he told me about what goes on. They hold various contests and games to bring harmony and develop friendship among Kings and Queens. The duration of the Ball usually depends on the host, but mostly it is around one week.Hearing all those things made me excited because I was going to encounter all

Persephone's question put me on the spot. Lukas did say that we cannot reveal the nature of a relationship to anyone because we were a gossip already. He was right as most of them couldn't stop staring at me the moment I walked inside withPersephone. They were all fascinated by the thought of a Demon King having a kid with a human.Before I could formulate my answers, someone interrupted the Queen of Underworld."Persephone!" I backed away as the two of them hugged, twirling each other around.The person or demon embracing Persephone was equally gorgeous. If not even more. She had straight long brunette hair, falling to her hips and wore a white gown. Was that an ongoing theme? Wearing white?"Hestia! It's been so long. I thought you wouldn't come"Persephone gasped, parting away f
Demon Kings Mate 43. Lukas
/Lukas POV/It was frustrating how always someone or the other interrupted us. There was a guard outside the room who was reminding us to get ready for the dinner. I sighed but nodded my head and shut the door.Even though I wanted to talk it out with Talia, we had no time. I noticed that she was busy picking her clothes for the event. With that, I turned out and got my clothes. I needed to make an impression.Most of the demons love to show off even though they don't have much. These kinds of Balls are appropriate for this kind of silly things. I never noticed or cared for it, but now that I had Talia with me, I had to make sure that I was outstanding.I specifically ordered a handmade tailored suit. A sigh escaped my lips as I stared at the outfit. It didn't take me long to slip on th

I could feel the dampness in my palms, slippery with sweat. After dinner, Hades concluded it with a thank you speech and asked everyone to retire back to their rooms. It was clear that he was going to do damage control.Persephone trudged towards me, an apologetic smile on her face. It was marvellous to see how she handled the situation and calmed everyone. After Zeus retired to the room, she managed to bring back the spirit in everyone."Hey" She whispered, standing in front of me."Hi. The dinner was wonderful.""Well, I tried my best."I shook my head, "No, it was. I loved the duck, especially.""Thanks, I needed to hear
Demon Kings Mate 45. Lukas
/Lukas POV/After the drama by Zeus, I had no intention of staying behind. Most of them were going to drink with Hades in his secret room. As much as I wanted to tell him what was going on, I had to take care of Talia. It was not safe to send her back to the room all alone.Yama patted on my shoulder, "So ready to drink and let loose?"I winced at his tone. Just then my eyes shifted towards Talia only to see she was talking withPersephone. I knew the moment they meet; it would be easy for them to connect. Hades wife had to go through tough times to establish herself as the Queen of Underworld. Even though she was a Greek Goddess herself, she did not have it easy. Maybe Talia can learn a thing or two from her."About that..." I cleared my throat,
Demon Kings Mate 46. Talia
This was my chance to prove that I can fit in, as well. As much as Persephone talked to me about being confident, I was still nervous. I was not undermining her struggle in any way, but she had an advantage on her side. Unlike me, she was a Greek goddess. The demons are wise enough to not mess with them.It was not the same for me because I was just a mortal being for them. Most of them hated my kind, so it was difficult. No matter how hard I try to bond with them they will always consider me their enemy. If winning this tournament was a way to go, I had to prove myself. So when I noticed the number of games and contests I did not hesitate to enrol in almost half of them.Lukas was hesitant about some of them considering my situation, but I was against it.
Demon Kings Mate 47. Talia
I felt nervous with all the stares on me. They were all staring at me simply because I was registering in a contest against Lord Yama. It made me feel on edge and like I was doing something I shouldn't be doing.
