Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 22: Exposure
Eric POV For a moment, I saw the expression on Kahlan's face change and it looked like she was going to ask me something. I desperately want her to listen to me. I must not let Hardin win. He must fail in wanting to pull me and my mate apart. "Eric, I_," she pulled to a stop suddenly when one of the maids walked in. I cleared my throat meaningfully and turned to walk toward the desk. Well, I knew what Kahlan was going to say. She was going to taunt me as usual. She wouldn't even listen to anything around her. She was so good at just listening to her voice. She was exactly like me. I wonder why the moon goddess would give me someone like me. It makes everything harder for me. And the elders are on my neck already. I didn't want to tell them that Kahlan was my mate until she accepted. Because as long as the elders were concerned, they would force Kahlan. Who cares about how she feels anyways? Somehow, the moment I discovered that my brother was involved in this, I started to care
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 23: invisibility
Kahlan POV For some minutes after Eric had left, I stood frozen on the floor. His words kept ringing in my ears. And well, I would have asked him to explain if the maid hadn't interrupted. Though, I couldn't stop asking myself if I was ready to believe him. Would I only believe him if he admitted to the offense? How then was I sure that he actually committed the crime? If Eric didn't do it, what would I do? But then, who could have done it? And why was Eric present that day? There was a lot I wanted to hear from Eric. No, there was a lot I could have asked from him, instead of pointing accusing fingers, and preventing him from explaining. The space would have been filled if I had listened to him earlier. I mean why didn't I think of it earlier? I took the tray and walked out of the room. There were only a few maids in front of the room, as the others had followed the Alpha. I walked back to the hall that had suddenly changed during my few minutes of absence. I walked to the wo
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 24: Explanation
Kahlan POV I couldn't really explain how disappointed I felt at what Eric just did. But I was expecting it. I didn't treat Eric very well, how do I expect him to treat me? But he could have tried to be more understanding, right? I turned around to see where Eric went and realized it was towards Marco. I watched them for a moment, forcefully, and finally decided to leave the hall. It was pointless anyway. I shouldn't have been here in the first place. Even at that, my legs felt very heavy. I didn't want to leave the party. I wanted to stay back and watch Eric. Perhaps, he would soon be free. Suddenly, Marco walked away from Eric and towards the entrance of the hall. It looked like he was going to leave. I hurried after him quickly. Well, if I can't hear anything from Eric, Marco would be in the best position to explain it to me. And this time, I'm going to listen to all the explanations and I will decide later if I'm supposed to believe it or not. I hurried up as I wanted to me
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 25: Reality
Kahlan POV I walked inside the room and Eric's scent wafted into my nose. I just admit that I love the way he scents. And thanks to the mate bond, I'm even finding it difficult to concentrate. I moved to the picture frame again. It was the first thing I saw and because I didn't want to go around touching his things, it resulted in caressing the picture. I don't believe that I would be missing my father so much. Well, I knew that I would forever miss my mother. Everything happened so quickly. There was no chance to even do anything. But the fact that I suddenly became so helpless and hopeless and lonely was something I should get used to. I'm enraged at whoever did something so huge to me and I sincerely doubt that I would be able to forgive them. They gave me a long-lasting sadness. But what I'm currently concerned about is blaming the atrocities on the innocent. If Eric was really innocent and I was blaming it on him, I wouldn't forgive myself as well. And somehow, I desperate
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 26: A lover from the past
Kahlan POV Eric shook his head slowly. "I don't." I turned away slowly. So, it was right. Eric wasn't the main culprit but I've been treating him badly all this while. "Kahlan," Eric called softly. I swallowed harder and closed my eyes against the tears that threatened to seep from my eyes. I couldn't blot out my parents' images from my mind. I could still see them, in their blood. This is all my fault. If I hadn't left that day if only I wasn't that angry. But there's no point in regretting, was there? I've lost everyone and I've done something wrong to my mate, thinking he was the one that killed my pack. "I believe you," I said softly but even my voice sounded unlike mine. How was I supposed to face Eric despite all I had done to him? Would he be able to forgive me? I felt weak suddenly. Before I knew it, I was in Eric's arms. I must have lost my balance and he must have caught me. "I'm sorry, Eric. I'm sorry," I stuttered as I felt emotions cloud my mind. I couldn't eve
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 27: Enemy
Eric POV I couldn't tell Kahlan, not now by the way. I would do it later when this isn't as serious as it was currently. As far as I know Kahlan, she would never listen to me the moment she knew it was my brother that killed her family. She might think I sided with my brother to eliminate her pack. Damn, I don't want to lose her. For now, it seems like I have everything in control. I walked inside the hall again and my gaze searched around for the elders. Marco said the elders urgently wanted to speak with me. I have no idea what they want currently. They seemed to want to speak with me every moment. Little do they know that the misunderstanding between me and Kahlan has been settled. Ok, they all concluded on two things and I was supposed to go with whichever I was ok with. I was either supposed to force Kahlan or go with Naomi for now. Even after I told them that Naomi wasn't destined to give me an heir, they still insisted. They claimed that the whole pack is feeling restless
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 28: Wants
Kahlan POV After some minutes that Marco had walked out, I couldn't move. I wanted to wait for Eric as he had told me, but Marco's words rang in my ears again. I mean he has always told me the truth. It was because of him that I discovered that Eric was innocent. So, his claim this time must be right as well. Naomi? Eric's lover? I didn't want to feel anything for Eric but the mate bond kept drawing me closer to him. Even at that, I managed to do all I could but now that nothing was stopping me, I was starting to get jealous. I mean Eric is mine, he's my mate after all. On second thought, I got up from the bed. I'm not going to wait for Eric. In fact, I'm going to the party. I'm going to be with Eric. No one, not even Naomi will get my mate. "Hey! You look angry," a voice reached my ears. I looked up and my eyes went wide with shock as I stared at Hardin. "You don't look beautiful when you frown," he teased. I smiled. " Hi, how are you doing?" He shrugged slightly. "Fine. Yo

Kahlan POVHis hand cupped my left cheek and heat rushed into it. I eventually managed to breathe out, though it was still coming very fast.Now that I was no longer holding back, Eric was really affecting me."You don't look too good when you are sad," he acknowledged softly, his features striking me. He was too good to be true. It was as if he was sculpted from the master source, the perfect model.I wondered how he looked beneath those clothes."I'm just so sorry, Eric. And_," I sucked in a breath. I knew I had to say it but the words were difficult for me to utter."What?" Eric raised a brow and waited.I braced myself for it. I caused the misunderstanding anyways, I should be the one to rectify it. I should try my best, and not allow Naomi to get away with my mate."I want you, Eric," I whispered and opened my mouth to say much but the words flew out the window. I could only stare at Eric with eyes gone wide and lost.I must admit that Eric always managed to take away not only my

Chapter 20I could not believe what I was hearing. Sonia, one of my closest advisors, had betrayed me and my mate. The thought of her plotting against Khalan’s pregnancy filled me with rage. I had trusted her, confided in her, and now she had caused me so much pain.I did not waste any time. I ordered the guards to lock Sonia up in the dungeons and prepare for her execution. I wanted to make sure that she was punished for her crimes, but at the same time, I could not bring myself to do it, at least not yet.Days passed and I could not shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. I kept replaying the events in my head and could not help but feel that there was more to the story than I was being told. I decided to pay Sonia a visit in the dungeons to get to the bottom of things.When I reached her cell, I was taken aback by what I saw. Sonia was scared and weak, a far cry from the strong and confident woman I had known. I sat down across from her, and asked her what had
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 121: scheme
SONIA'S POVThe news of Khalan’s miscarriage brought me great joy. I was originally mad that my plan of poisoning and killing Khalan had not worked when I heard and even saw for myself that she was in fact still alive. I had been so disturbed and worried about the pack finding out about my failed mission. In the past weeks I had lived in worry and also with caution in case Eric found out about the poisoning or at the very least, if Khalan suspects that I had anything to do with the murder attempt. I went out to meet up with the other omegas and from them I heard about Khalan’s miscarriage. They were all talking about it with some sadness in their voices but I listen intently to know what had happened. When I heard that the baby had not survived, I struggled to hide and keep my excitement to myself before the others noticed it and began any suspicion. To try hiding my guilt and act as if I was as worried as they were, I drew close to where they were discussing to try to act up.“So the
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 120: Pattern
Sonia's POVHow can Eric punish me? In front of everyone at that? I thought to myself as I paced around the room.It was really embarrassing seeing others walk by me and stare at me like I was a decoration.It was okay for him to punish other dressers but to punish me, with the way I feel for him and also with what we share together, it was really annoying.He might not think of me the way I do since the bitch was here but I'm sure he also feels the same way I do.I stared down at my hand as it shone red. It was already getting blisters and it hurt if I touch it."This was all Khalan's fault. If she wasn't here and if she hadn't seduce him, he wouldn't have bothered punishing me alongside those stupid girls."I tried to use my hands to push the door open as I always do but it hurt so bad that I can barely touch the door."Darn it," I muttered softly as I walked back to the bed. Eric had no idea that the punishment he gave me did not just hurt me physically but it also hurt me emotiona

Eric's PovMy joy knew no bounds as I paced to and fro in my chambers, the memories of me kissing Khalan followed my brain, I couldn't help but blush at it, I subconsciously began to fiddle with my clothes and grinned widely, a knock on the door brought me back to reality."My lord, your wine." A maid yelled from the other side of the door.I smiled to myself, I needed to drink some wine to celebrate my dear, it made me happy and joyous but I was suspicious, no maids were allowed in my chambers save for male, why was she here?"Give it to the guards, you may leave." I ordered.I heard the shuffling of feet and then she was gone, another knock interrupted my thoughts and someone came in, I lifted yo my head to see Milan; on of my guards, he bowed and carefully dropped her tray if wine on the table and left, I stood up and took a sip out of it, it was delicious and reminded me of Khalan's lips.I could almost feel the taste of her lips on me, it was heavenly and though it was brief, I d
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 118: Dashes
HARDIN'S POV I dashed through the forest, dry leaves crunching beneath my feet as the wind howled a mournful tune, as if warning me of an impending doom, but this only made me run faster, numb to the pain I had felt during the fight. Torns tore at my skin, with tree branches slapping my face as I raced between them, half blind.Nothing was working in my favor. The moonlight had been out before, but now that I was trying to run for my life, it hid behind the dark clouds, and made it even harder for me to run.How could I have been so foolish? How could I have let my guard down? I had been so annoyed at the fact that I didn't succeed in my plan to kill Eric that I didn't check my surroundings, and opened myself to the attack.Although all the men I had attacked were laying lifeless where we had battled, it didn't make me feel safe. For all I knew, there could be more men lurking around and waiting to attack me. Due to the injuries I had sustained, my senses weren't as sharp as before,
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 117: Soles
KHALAN'S POVI watched Nyall rush out of the dungeon. My muscles screamed and my bones jerked as I cracked an aching neck and fingers. I felt so tired from the day I had very little energy left and found it easier to focus on that exhaustion as I made for my bed, my soles screaming with each step I took closer to my bed.It had barely been a minute since I fell asleep when there settled in my chest a feeling of unease, like something dark was looming over me. I tried to wake up but couldn't move, almost like my hands were held by invisible chains to the bed and my legs were being held down by a pair of arms. My heart raced with each attempt I made at freeing myself and jumping awake, every effort seemed wasted and the more I struggled, the tighter the bounds and the further I was pulled from reality. The wind made matters worst with each sweep of dust and I was certain I was going to have a heart attack when a familiar face appeared before me. My shoulders slacked seeing that hair. Hi
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 116: Stupid

I wasn't too sure why he was so eager to do that to me, because he had always seem to be very good and friendly towards me.Thoughts of that dream go me so scared as hot drips of sweat flew down my Spain. I wasn't save at all,if that was the case. There was only one way to know why Hardin wanted me died by all means and that was for me to go over to the pack and ask Eric about it .

As I tried making my move out I could only realize how Shakey my legs were. I managed to put myself together as I stormed my way to the pack.

I had been frustrated by Hardin and forced to dive into feelings I had fought back with all my remaining alpha strength.My pack noticed this change in my behavior and became worried, they tried to intervene but I refused to listen or talk to anyone.
