Right when I was about to whisper another thing to him, a loud knock on the door sounded. "ADRIAN!" Samael's loud voice made me visibly cringe back and as an automatic reaction, I pushed Adrian away, who held onto me tighter. "FUCK OFF!" He loudly yelled back to the door, before turning back to me. "Dove, don't. He will go away." He softly said at the same time that I pushed Adrian away from me firmer. "I won't!" Samael happily loudly shouted behind the door. "SAM, I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF. GET LOST." Adrian roared loudly, finally putting me down with a huff but holding onto me nonetheless. "Our Queens have arrived." Samael spoke. I froze. The queens. I looked up at Adrian with big eyes, who stared down at me with a painful expression. Panic constricted my heart painfully. The air disappeared from my lungs and I tried to breathe, but less air was going to my body. "Dove." Adrian whispered. My vision blurred and only came back when Adrian cupped my face with two hands and stared
The world stopped spinning. The words that came out of Adrian's mouth were not true. They couldn't be. For the second time today, I felt a panic attack coming. I was shocked to my core. All I could do was stare at Adrian with disbelief. Did he seriously just suggest he wanted to marry me? Gasps were heard around me. "That's funny." Someone in the room said. "A human over a demon? Imagine." Someone else said. My eyes were still glued onto Adrian, who finally looked down at me nervously. He didn't speak and looked forward again. "Cut the crap, brother." Lucifer's voice snapped at him, making Adrian's face change into an angry one. "I think Adrian is very serious." Micah announced. I looked over at him and I'm sure he could see the panic in my eyes. "You can't marry a human." Benjamin stated, looking up and down at me with disgust. "Why not?" Adrian asked. He was getting agitated with the rest and stepped forward dangerously, shielding me from the shocked brothers. "Because we need so
"Uhm.." I mumbled. Think, Elle, fucking think. "Y-yes.. I.. They saw me, and I thought it was better to just act like Gabrielle. And they believed me." I half stuttered out. Shea looked at me shocked. "They believed you?" She questioned me with a disbelieving look. I nodded immediately. "Yes. I told them I had... a rare form of... dementia. Like short memory loss. Even Adr- the King believed me! He didn't know what to do with me, so I... I begged him to put me on the list of the potential queens." I explained. My heart was beating out of my chest. Would she believe me? Shea grabbed my wrist painfully tight. "You have been put on the list of potential queens?" She asked with sudden fury. My brain was working overtime to come up with a story. "Yes, well, the King thinks I will not survive. But I will prove him wrong." I said with a sly smile. Please believe me. She let me go and a smile entered her lips. Her brain was practically spelling out her thoughts. She also thought I woul
I'm not sure exactly what happened, but before I knew, I was standing in front of a huge fighting pit outside. My mind and heart stopped working as soon as Yroul announced the first challenge and everything was a daze after that. A fight to the death. I knew Samael thought of this challenge but come on, out of all the challenges you could possibly think of, a fight to the death was the one to make it through? And as the first challenge? Everybody moved outside to the fighting ring and everybody was already screaming. It reminded me of the fight between Adrian and Samael, only now I would be entering the ring. Again five others. The women of Pride were fighting but I was hardly present. The King's sat on the podium higher up, where they had a perfect view of the women. I heard the occasional shouts from them through the roars of the crowd but I couldn't look at them. I knew Adrian was up there, furious at me. "Hey, Briva." I whispered to the woman next to me. She slightly turned t
Niran came closer and closer to my face and she also realised I was helpless beneath her. "Elle." Someone whispered behind me. Someone pushed the hilt of steel in my hand. My hand automatically wrapped around it and I looked behind me to see an unfamiliar boy looking at me, before he dove back into the crowd like he was never there. I took my opportunity, jumped up and held the short sword against Niran's neck, who looked shocked to the core. I had her. Finally, She pointed her two knives at me with lightning speed but I was taller with my sword. She couldn't reach me, not if she wanted to be cut. And I was going to cut her like she was going to do with me. "STOP!" Yroul's shout shook me awake and I looked at the woman with a frown. But then I knew why she called for us to stop. There, in the middle of the fighting ring, was a dead Tia. There was no blood around her, but I knew she was dead. Her hollow eyes stared at nothing. Her body was still, lifeless. "The first challenge
I eyed the stick with a smile. I still felt horrible about what happened today. Someone died today. And more would probably follow. This competition started with 37 women and 6 already died. To marry a king. It was barbaric. But it was the world I lived in, and the best thing I could do now was to win this stupid competition. Because only then, I could at least try to make this world a little bit better. Humans were physically weak, yes, compared to demons. But we weren't weak mentally. And I would prove it. But maybe I should work on my physical strength a little bit. So with a loud shout, I ran towards Adrian with the stick and swung it right at his head. The stick stopped mid-air. Adrian had caught it with his hand. He looked at me with one raised eyebrow. "Work with your body, dove. When you swing with your arm, the strength has to come from your core muscles. You don't just hit me with your arm, but with your abs as well. It's more about movement than strength." Adrian explai
Mud covered me. It stuck to my hair, my clothes and my skin. I tried to extract myself from the mud several times, but Adrian wouldn't let me escape. I think he was still mad at me, and this was a little bit of revenge on his part. He wanted to be in control after feeling like he was losing it. When Adrian said I was going to feel it, he wasn't joking. He filled me up and made sure I felt every single inch of him that went inside me. His hands held me tight and he wasn't afraid to let me know he was the one in charge here. "Bri." He whispered in my ear as he put his arms around me. "You're not supposed to like it so rough." He whispered next with a grin. "Why?" I asked him with closed eyes. Everything that he was doing to me felt so right, even if I was covered in cold mud and I was on the ground of a forest with Dracula somewhere close by. Yes, his hold on me was tight and he was fucking me harder than normal, but his touches were still soft, careful, loving. He didn't release his
Adrian gave no reaction. We were right above the snow and slowly flew down. "You were poisoned by lilac. And Levi said it was impossible to get healed from it. I still had some on my hands, and licked it off me so it would get in my bloodstream. He was going to bite me again, I was going to make sure of it. Of course it got me ridiculously high, but when Levi came back, he did bite me. That was the last time I saw him." I explained. My naked feet suddenly touched ice cold snow. I looked down in shock, and realised Adrian had detangled me from him and had put me down. Adrian didn't look at me, but instead looked in the direction of his castle. I couldn't see it anymore, we were too far. I swallowed heavily and nervously touched his hand. "I'm sorry.. I.. I.." I tried to apologise, but I didn't know how. "Dove." He warned me. I let go of his hand. Was he going to leave me here, on the top of this mountain? Was this a punishment? To die a slow, painful death instead of just dropping
Dear Elle, I'm safe. Fay (AKA still your best friend, even though I disappeared). "Is he serious?!" I yelled out in frustration, throwing the piece of paper away from me in anger. "Samael is not known for his jokes. He's serious." Adrian said carefully whilst snatching Samael's letter from the air. "We asked him for a long letter from her, not a few words!" I snapped, right before I sighed deeply. This whole thing was making me angry and frustrated, and I was taking it out on Adrian unfairly. "She's alive, she's safe." Adrian said as he pulled me close. He didn't mind my snappiness. He said it was 'normal' in the demon realm. "I don't mean to snap at you, I'm sorry." I sighed out with my eyes closed. "Don't apologise. I like your feistiness. Especially last night, when you took it out on my naked body." Adrian grinned and my sour mood brightened very slightly. "Gross, guys. Come on." Elyse complained loudly. "This is nothing, last week a new species of flower was found. We all fo
"There it is." The doctor said, her finger on the screen. I jumped forward with excitement, looking at the tiny dot on the screen. Luzo gasped, as did Aemun, who was holding her hand. "It's hardly visible, but we can see the baby." The doctor said with a kind smile. Yes, a doctor. Adrian put his hands on my shoulders and pulled me close. "Congratulations, Luzo, Aemun." He said with a genuine smile. Adrian pressed me against him and kissed my cheek. He hadn't let me go since we woke up. Showering was a task, let alone brushing my teeth and going for a pee. Adrian had insisted he had his eyes on me at all times. "That's it?!" Willa exclaimed with a frown. "That's not a baby. That's smaller than a ladybug." She said with a confused tone. "Well, Willa... It will be a baby. Louder than you, I suppose." Xael nudged her shoulder and had his eyes on the screen. "Louder than Willa? Impossible." Furgo quickly ducked down when Willa's fist came flying to his head and we all laughed loudly. L
It took longer than expected. The cheering. And as I stood there, half naked in front of everybody.. I knew what my next job was.I felt Adrian behind me when the partying was still in full swing. And then I felt his hands on my waist. Straight away, I knew his intention. But I was patient and let him first feel me. His lips touched my neck tenderly and I moved my head to the side to accept his kiss. Closing my eyes, I let out a loaded sigh. He moved my hair out of the way and slightly bit down on my skin. A moan left my lips.And the partying died down. Adrian's hands moved over my body, feeling my skin through the fabric. Until slowly, he moved his hand up from my stomach and cupped one breast.Silence. No more cheers or shouts. Everybody was watching us with hungry eyes. I didn't see them, but I felt them. Felt them watching how Adrian was turning me on.Arching my back into him, I pressed my ass against his dick and slowly circled. He sighed against my skin and put his other arm a
After calming down for a few minutes, it was finally time to enter the throne room. With Luzo's hand firmly in mine, I smiled at her and felt another few tears behind my eyes. She was so happy. I was so happy for her.The door opened slightly and complete silence greeted me. Even I held my breath. The entire room was dark. There were only two big candles lit, on either side of the two thrones. One was currently occupied. Adrian sat on his throne, his crown atop his head and he was dressed in a fully black suit with light blue details. He looked more serious than ever. His face was set in a stoic expression and he looked straight ahead, not even at me. The throne next to his was empty. There was a small crown in the seat, adorned with light blue diamonds. The entire crowd had their backs to me. Every single demon was dressed from head to toe, even their necks were covered. Not one skin tone to be seen. It made me feel even more naked. I stepped forward, my bare feet hitting the marb
The only thing that calmed me down now was Warrior next to me. I was softly stroking his soft head and he had put his entire weight into my leg. Guela was busy with my hair. I sat on the chair, looking at myself in the mirror. My outfit was.... revealing. VERY revealing.It was a custom for each kingdom to have their own outfits. And for lust.. Well you can imagine. It wasn't even an outfit, really. It was more a light blue see through sheet wrapped around me. I had to show off my body for the kingdom. Had to show them I was capable of giving our king lust.. And them. Because they would be turned on if they saw their queen dressed like this.. And that was exactly the point. The more naked, the better, Guela had said. The only thing I was wearing other than the sheet was my light blue diamond necklace. It sat just above my breasts and stayed cold.Adrian had raged of course, but even he couldn't stop the customs of the kingdom. The people would protest if they didn't get what they expe
"Elle." Fay excitedly whispered as soon as I opened the door. A rush of happiness washed over me when I saw all my friends standing in front of me. I tightened the light blue bathrobe around my naked body and I saw everybody looking at the bed behind me. I followed their look and saw Adrian still sleeping peacefully, his naked chest on full show.Reggie snorted and I quickly stepped out and held the door in my hand so it wouldn't fall shut.My eyes immediately fell on Fay, who had a cut on her arm. "What happened to you?" I frowned at the dried blood on her arm and saw her shrug her shoulders. "I had a little bit of fun." She smirked, also looking down at her arm. "Fay!" I yelled, slapping the wound hard.My friends were unbelievable."Hey!" Fay shouted, turning to me. "I didn't have sex! I just... I let him cut me. As a goodbye gift." She said with a smirk on her face. I raised one eyebrow, waiting for the rest. "I let him lick the blood off me. He went absolutely feral, man. The guy
Aemun took a shaking Elyse with him and Micah looked at them leaving with a furious expression. "Micah-""NO!" Micah shouted, interrupting me. He took a step back when Adrian growled. "No, Elle! I had her! Fuck, did it feel good to..." He stared after her with a pained expression. He shook his head and looked at the ground. "If she didn't have a boyfriend, what would you have done then? Would you still be against us?" Micah turned to me with angry eyes. I stood there for a second, lost for words. "Probably... Micah... This demon life, it's my life now and I wouldn't have chosen any differently, now that I'm here. But for my friends... It's not easy being a human in the demon realm. You can't ask that of her. If you kiss her, you tie her to a world that is not hers. She is happy and safe and doesn't need this in her life." I said. I felt bad talking in the place of Elyse, but I didn't want my friends to go through what I had to go through.Being with the demon king of Lust was acceptab
Immediately, it was like a bomb went off inside me. My arms automatically flung around Adrian's neck and I got lost in my orgasm. I moaned against his lips and his entire body froze together with mine. I was hit with a fucking brick wall. It was so, so intense, that I lost the power in my legs. "Stay with me, dove. This is only the first one of the night." Adrian whispered with a groan. His fingers dug into my cheek and waist and he held me upright, but I knew he was struggling. Struggling to stay standing and not lose himself. I tried to catch my breath and scraped my nails over the back of his neck. Only to kiss him again. An aftershock of the orgasm hit me and Adrian moaned against my lips. "Aah," He moaned, "Fuck." "I think I regret kissing you here. That was... Earth shattering. And the fact that we have to hide it makes this so much more difficult. I just... I want to fuck you so bad." Adrian whispered hoarsely, his fingers still digging into my skin. My cheeks flushed auto
"Remember when Elyse dropped the bottle of champagne?" Reggie said with a laugh. Both stepped next to us, overlooking the crowd beneath us. The altar was on a small stage and Adrian and I still hadn't left the place after officially getting married.I was married. I was someone's wife."Yes! In the supermarket. And then she dropped that bottle of red wine right after." Dante laughed out loud. I grinned with them. "Didn't the employee of the supermarket that helped her clean up ask for her number?" I asked. Reggie laughed louder in response.I could tell Dante wanted to talk to me. But I could also tell he wanted to talk to me in private.'Later.' I mouthed at him when he looked at me. Dante replied with a single nod."CHAMPAGNE!" Fay's shout was loud behind us and I looked around Adrian to see her walking up towards us with a gigantic bottle of bubbles. "Not your special bottle!" I yelled. She had gotten the bottle years ago in an ancient store somewhere and it had cost her entire bud
