42. Talia
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 with
Persephone. 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

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.

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.

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.

Never did I think that I would be back in between those white walls and stench of disinfectant."I'm so sorry" She whispered, her head falling on the chest.I shook my head, "Don't say anything. Nothing is going to happen to you.""I just wanted to impress..." Her words slurred as she was trying to hold on to my shirt. I tightened my grip around her."You did...You impress me every single day.""Really?"I sniffled, "Yes I am amazed by you every single day."

I felt the heaviness behind my eyes as I tried to open them. My throat felt like sandpaper. Taking a deep breath, I decided to blink my eyes open. My eyes shifted to every corner of the unfamiliar room. Why was I here?Just then, I heard the door being pushed open. Lukas walked in along with Yama. I winced trying to sit up right on the bed. He came by my side and helped by fluffing the pillows, setting them against my back."Thanks" I whispered, leaning back."Do you need anything?" Lukas questioned plopping himself on the barstool in front of me. I hummed, staring at the water on the coffee table. It was out of my reach."Water please."Yama cleared his throat, "I'll get it."I arched my brow but kept quiet as
