A huge sigh of relief slipped out of my lips the moment I found out the baby was safe. There was nothing more I was invested in than my baby and the health of my child. It's so weird feeling that I cannot explain but the thought of something happening made me dizzy with fear. A sense of protection and affection developed over the fetus in my stomach. It did not matter that it was the result of a one-night stand and not something I had planned. The only thing I care about was looking after the health of the baby.
From past these days while I was locked up in my room the only thing I did besides read talked to my stomach. It gave me some kind of relief just knowing that someone was hearing me. Someone who would look exactly like me.
Lukas's eyes were red. The moment I sat down on the couch they turned red. Bright red with black at the edges. I had never seen someone wi
My eyes widened at Kira's words. What did she mean by Demon Kings Mate? As much as I was aware no one mention that detail to me before. Laurens's eyes were the size of a saucer at that and she bowed down in front of me."What are you doing?" I asked her, my voice hoarse. My head turned towards Kira, trying to make sense. I needed to know if whatever she said was true. Was there something Lukas was hiding from me?"Bowing to the future Queen" Lauren made a funny face as she pulled back and straightened her back. I shook my head at her. Nuh-uh I was not the future Queen. Atleast I hoped I was not.The thought of being near souls made me shiver in fear. Is that what everyone was thinking? That I was going to rule beside Lukas? How can it be possible when he hates me and the only reason he kidnapped me was for his child?
/Lukas POV/I could feel that something was different from the moment I woke up. Sleep was something that never came easy, with demons being powerful at night but I still tried. After a while, it proved to be useless so I took out my favourite Dante Rosetti collection. There was just something about the way he writes that always fascinated me. After reading the love letter sonnet I managed to close my eyes for a few hours.As soon as I stepped down the stairs I noticed her. It was impossible not to. In a room full of people my eyes always found, just like they did at the club. Straightening my jacket I stepped down with poise."My lord" The lower demons bowed me, waiting by the stairs. I barely gave them a glance, my attention solely focused on her as she was standing along with everyone. 
As soon as Lukas left the dining hall I fell back against the wall. My cheeks burned at how easy I was affected by the closeness. I gritted my teeth to remind myself that he was Demon King and I should not feel any kind of attraction towards someone like him.Shaking my head I slowly walked back to the table, noticing Lauren's eyes on me."Do you have a death wish?""Huh?" I asked, lifting up my fork."Why did you do that? He's our King" Lauren clenched her jaw, her eyes glaring at me. I pressed my lips together at her tone."Exactly he's your King. Not mine. I don't care"Dean who had been quiet for a while cleared his throat. My eyes flew toward him.
"What?" Lukas blinked at me several times. My cheeks reddened at his stare and I realised how silly I sounded for crossing the bridge and coming all the way from mansion just for a phone. No wonder demons were staring at me. Maybe they knew how stupid I was.I rubbed my neck awkwardly at all the stares directed at me. Should I just ask him and get it done with? What if he laughs at me in front of everyone?"Do you all work here to stare at Miss Talia?" Lukas voice boomed throughout the hall and the demons scrambled out, their eyes away from me. I let out a huge breath I did not realise I was holding."You want a phone?"I hummed, my cheeks still red, "I want to talk to my friends. Mira and Jackson,
Leo was waiting in the red room. I was actually surprised that he remembered he had other duties than to wander on earth for his love, Anna. Sometimes I felt utter pity for him because he truly deserved to be happy. After he told me about his life story I was overwhelmed with sadness. He lost his life on the day of his marriage which left everyone around him with grief and sorrow.Even after he became a demon with immense powers it was clear that he was not satisfied. There was no way he could go back to his life because everything was changed. His family was up in heaven along with his bride. He had no chance of meeting them again.But ever since he saw Anna, the woman he has been in love with his entire existence changed. He started to be his cheerful self again and so I never asked him to stop visiting earth. That was the source of his happin
I was hiding from Lukas. I had no desire to entertain the demon any longer. He was downright rude and vile. There was no way we would find a common ground so it was better if I stayed away. I felt like it was the right decision at that moment.Spending an entire day inside Lauren's room wasn't exactly a good hiding spot but I had no option. It was not like I knew about the edges and corners of the mansion. Even if I did Lukas would easily find me because he owns the place. I did not want to give him that opportunity. He was already cocky enough."You really are the best subject I've had so far" Lauren gushed as she finally patted at the paper. I eyed her carefully because she has been doing the same sketch since the last few hours. It started from me volunteering to be her muse for some statue she was displaying, gradually progressin
My leg hooked around his waist as his hand came to my hips, slowly trailing down until they reached the back of my other thigh and he pulled it up, making me wrap both of my legs around him. A small grunt drowned in his lips when he pushed himself further into me, my back pinned against the wall by his body."B-baby" Lukas whispered, pulling away from the kiss.My fingers had found the way to the front of his shirt and I tried to fiddle with themHis lips felt soft against mine, plump and expert in the kiss. I arched my back as his hands cupped my ass. My fingers entangled in his hair, the other hand holding on his shoulders as he started to walk backwards.My hands travelled down his bod
As I was trying to forget about the dream, the knock on the door startled me. It was Myra. One of the demon. She was the one who arranged my wardrobe and had good knowledge about the clothes to fit. Calling her a fashion designer would be a bit of a stretch. Like Kira, she was also not scared of me. But also not very talkative.Sometimes I think that should resent me for being a human. It wouldn't be surprising because their own King has a grudge against humans.As she entered the room I stood up from the bed. My eyes automatically shifted towards the clock and I sighed. Only an hour till the dinner. No wonder Lukas sent Kira to invite me.I dragged my feet towards the closet and pulled open the door. Myra was already rushing towards the gowns, browsing each one and feeling them in between h

It took me an entire day in my room to realise how my life had turned into some book—a book without a happy ending.Zeus is my father and his wife wants me dead, not only that but Li Changying hates me and is helping Hera with her plans. Now that I thought it out loud, I felt my head spin. Lukas was missing, and I had no idea of him, which made it even worse.My "father" respected my wish and left me alone for an entire day. I was hopeful that I could also convince him to let me go to Lukas. There has to be a reason he bought me to his place. My heart gripped in fear as I thought about those shadows. Who might have sent them to attack us? Did Zeus do that? I should ask him.The door of my room was suddenly pushed open, and I sat up, brushing the loose strands of hair away from my
imp announcement at the end/Lukas POV/The fog around me was almost nauseating. I couldn't breathe through my nose anymore. My energy was being drained from my body as I was still bound in shackles. A whimper escaped my lips as I tried to move my hand. They were tightly bound. What was Jaxon's plan? Why was he keeping me in the darkest place I had ever seen? My dungeons in hell are far more luxurious than the rat hole I was in.There was no clock anywhere, so I had no way of knowing the exact time. However, there was a tiny glass window, and from there, I could tell that it has been two days. Two agonisingly slow days. No one came to see me. The sound of rats was the only thing I could hear. I tried to break free several times, but it only resulted in cutting my wrist even deeper.&nbs
I blinked several times at the family portrait in front of me. I was Zeus, daughter! How was that possible? My hand automatically moved towards my face, touching my cheeks to make sure that I was real. The image staring back at me looked exactly like me. My breathing became shallow as I moved back."No!" I croaked, shaking my head."It-It must be a...a mistake! That's-" "-not possible! No!" My legs crashed against the wall behind me as I tried to find a place. Zeus was by my side, holding on go my arm and making me steady."Breathe prinkipissa. You can't stress out like this with a more in your belly." He softly whispered, stroking my arm. We moved back until there was a platform for me to sit.The moment I sa
I blinked at Zeus. Was he for real? Lukas was somewhere far away while I was trapped in an unknown place with no means to escape. How would anyone feel in my situation?“How am I feeling?” I echoed his question, trying hard not to do something impulsive like punch his face. He is a God of Thunder for crying out loud. That will be the last of me if I attempt to harm him in any way.Zeus softly hummed, tilting his head to meet my eyes. “I know that Ingrid can cause headaches. He is too powerful for your human body.”“Why am I here?! Where is Lukas? Did he ask you to bring me here?” I questioned, hope brimming in my eyes.“You are all alone here. Ingrid bought
My grip tightened on the dagger, the cold metal burning through my skin. If someone had said that I would be battling the Inferus in the middle of the night with no army, I would have laughed at their faces. There was no way we were going to emerge victoriously. It was four of us versus them. That didn’t deter me because all I could think was keeping them away from Talia till she gets on the other side of the portal.As I murmured a silent chant in the air, a sharp metallic dagger appeared in my hand. I sliced the wind through the dagger, admiring the sharp silver blade winking at me. The dagger was sort of my gift for a job well done, something I got right after fighting the previous King of the throne. It can kill any demonic spirit, even the faceless shadows, but they did not die easy.The Inferus
There was darkness everywhere, almost pitch black. Lukas tightened his grip around my wrist, a loud breath escaping his mouth. We couldn’t walk out from there because the door was sealed. Who would do that? I opened my mouth to say something but halted midway when I saw them.A faceless army appeared in front of the door, silver swords in their hand which was crossed against their chest. They were like five of them, standing in a row. I squinted my eyes to take a better look at them, but all I could see was a faceless dark fog and baggy red robes.Fear gripped me; my hands suddenly clammy as I looked at them. My throat felt dry all of a sudden, and it took me a lot of effort to pull my eyes away from their gaze.“The Inferus” Lukas breathed, his hands clenching into fists by the side.
I parted my mouth open as Lukas sat on his knees. My hands immediately flew towards my mouth, slapping over it. Was he going to propose to me? But it was too soon. We did not go through the entire courting thing yet or whatever that is.“I want you to accept my pin.”I blinked at that. My eyes immediately fell on the shiny crystal object he was holding in his hand. It was a brooch with a huge black stud surrounded by tiny diamonds. The light from it was almost blinding. Was that his pin?“Uhh...your pin?”He nodded his head, meeting my eyes, “Consider this my promise. With this pin, I vow to protect you and our baby no matter what. You both will always come first and be my priority. Last few days have been t
