Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 33: Shocking moment
Kahlan's pov A sudden knock jerked me out of my thoughts. I rushed out of the bathroom and took one of Eric's shirts. After Eric left, I decided to whirl away time by staying in the shower. I slept off eventually until it was morning. I didn't know if the designers came or not but well, I knew they would soon be here because they must take my measurements before Eric returns. I couldn't stop thinking about the sex I had with Eric. It was emotions filled and very hot. I imagine it over and over again. The way my body wants Eric again is something I didn't expect but I love it. After breakfast that morning, I decided to shower again because I was thinking of him and wishing he could return to me quickly. "Yes, come in," I invited as I buttoned up. The door opened and three maids walked inside. I recognize the last one as the lady that spoke to me in the hall. "We are here to take your measurements and provide you with the best quality of clothes," one of them expressed. I nodded
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 34: Lies!
Kahlan POVIt looked like I was daydreaming or perhaps I was seeing one of my dead uncles to remind me of our pack's fate, to remind me that I still had to think of vengeance.I wanted to turn around and continued inside the hall but I couldn't move.My feet froze on the floor. I couldn't move it. It was as if my head was telling me not to. It was as if I had zoomed out of the world or perhaps I was only daydreaming about him."No!" Someone said quickly, a soft feminine voice I'm used to.I looked up at Sonia and I felt more shocked. Sonia is here too? Wait! I wasn't getting this. How come Mathias is here as well as Sonia? I thought everyone died that night.Just as Mathias was about to reach my side, the maids moved to block him from getting to me. At this moment, Sonia moved nearer to him.And I'm still too shocked to say a word. So, I stood still and watched the drama unfold instead."No, uncle. Let's go," Sonia suggested and pulled at Mathias slightly.Mathias stared at me for a m
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 35: Unbelievable
Kahlan POVA sigh escaped my mouth unknowingly. Well, I was initially anticipating it. I knew Mathias was going to be adamant about Eric being the culprit. I wasn't surprised anyways because I was like that too. I guess I have a long way to go. I will just have to keep pushing it until he believes me."See, she's not shocked. She knew who did it! But she's doing nothing about it!" Sonia stated, half screaming. The girl is annoying me and I might have decided to do something if not because I have to convince Mathias before Eric gets back. I would have to introduce the two anyways. So, they must stay on good terms."You better shut your mouth there, Sonia, or I shut it for you," I warned sternly before I looked back at Mathias. "I know, Mathias and that was in fact my belief. I have always thought Eric killed them but he didn't. I got to find the truth and in fact, he doesn't even know who did. He's currently looking for the culprit," I explained, while silently praying he accepts it.
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 36: Worst?
Kahlan POVShock kept me motionless and speechless for a long time. I didn't even know how long I was gone.It felt like I didn't hear it clearly or maybe I didn't. It wasn't possible, right? I definitely heard it wrong, right?"It can't be!" I started slowly, my voice sounding, unlike mine.Mathias shook his head briefly. "I don't know what to tell you, Kahlan but it's all the truth. Eric killed everyone and I saw him do it. I would never lie to you about it," he expressed.Yes, Mathias would never lie about such things. Even though he had never tried to settle the rift between me and my father, he was never on my bad side. I collapsed on the bed, my head reeling. I shook my head briefly, unknowingly.I didn't know when Mathias left. It was some hours later which seemed like minutes when I discovered he wasn't in the room with me.I was just too confused and baffled. Hot tears stung my face as the words continued to replay in my head.Did Eric kill my pack? He killed my parents? Pla
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 37: Same Fate
Kahlan POVI had a feeling of dejavu immediately. It was as if I was seeing a replica of myself and Sonia. "What are you talking about?" I asked, the words made me tremble, or was I trembling before uttering the words? I'm just so confused.He sighed. "I will tell you all you need to know if you will hear me out. If you aren't interested, then I will leave," he expressed.I regarded him for a moment. " How did you enter? Did you grow wings or what?" I inquired.He smiled. " You see, Eric and I could be from the same father but we are way different, very different. While Eric is a lycan, I'm only a shapeshifter," he revealed.My heart took on a sudden beat, as a reminder. Damn! Sonia is also a shapeshifter and she's the worst. I sincerely don't know if I should be talking to Hardin or not.Ok, I'm so angry at everyone from Eric's side because Hardin is going to be telling me about Eric. Somehow, I'm interested."That's why you hate him?" The word went out of my mind before I could thi
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 38: Plan
Kahlan POV It took forever before a slight knock sounded on the door. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that it could be Eric. Though, I knew Eric wouldn't knock. He would definitely just open the door and walk in since he owns the whole place. "Yes, come in," I invited. The door opened and the maid from earlier walked inside with a tray of whatever. She bowed slightly. "I brought you some snacks and guess what?" She said anxiously. Has something happened? She looked and sounded so happy at the same time. "What?" I said languishing. I'm not in the mood but I don't want to let them suspect anything. I just kill Eric and get this done with. I don't care! They might kill me after I've killed Eric. It doesn't even matter. I will kill myself before they do. I'm going to take the wolf bane too. We will die together. There will be no need for anyone to mock me or do things I don't like. There's no word without my mate anyways. Unless the moon goodness has pity on me and gives me
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 39: Be the death of me
Eric povSomehow, it just felt somehow. I mean even looking at Kahlan and I could see that something was wrong somewhere.But with the emergence of the wine, I think that was what she was trying to keep from me.My smile widened as I regarded the bottle of wine. Kahlan was planning behind me. She is slowly getting free with me which is what I was desperately wishing for.Now that I'm back, I will try to look for Hardin. He's my brother and so I don't want to fight him but if he's so bent on ruining my relationship with Kahlan, then we might as well just fight till the moon goddess separates us.I'm not going to let him ruin my chances with Kahlan as he did with Naomi. Trouble just follows wherever he goes.I watched Kahlan safely place the bottle of wine on the table, a smile on her face before she moved even closer to me.“I want you too,” her soft voice caresses my ears.I've seriously missed her. I caught her in my arms and kissed her collarbone. She giggled at this and it melted m
Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 40: Almost
Kahlan pov I stared at him, shocked for a moment. What is he trying to do? I didn't try to stop him or ask him what he was doing. Well, I don't even care. I don't care what he does, even though I'm sure he would never drink that wolfsbane. However, only wants me to stop him but that wouldn't happen. The bottle of wine fell from his grasp as he drank all the wine in the cup, including the wolfsbane. My heart made a sudden thud. I rushed towards him again. “Where is it? Where? Did you finish it?” He stared at me with those expressionless eyes. Then he slowly shook his head. “I will not let you die, Kahlan.” My heart almost stopped beating as Eric dropped to the floor. The door jerked open, the door actually falling off. “Alpha!” Nyall yelled in fear as several other men rushed inside as well. They gathered around Eric and eventually took him out. Would he die? Damn! I don't believe I'm asking myself this kind of question. Is he saying the truth? Why else would he drink th

Desired By The Two Devils Chapter 122: Victory
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 . It was very possible that he would be able to provide me with the answers I seeked.I got up immediately from where I had been laying down and quickly got the hot sweats cleaned off with my palms. 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.

At first I had agreed to leave the dungeon but not to go back to his chambers but he insisted and even threatened to make his chambers my new prison if I refused to go back with him. Seeing that I had no choice at all, I obliged and went with him. He was glad I did. When I stumbled upon Eric’s chambers again, I finally felt safe and secure without the feeling of burdening Eric.
