Forced Marriage with The Devil The Betrayer’s Mark
The great hall was silent, save for the heavy breathing of those gathered. Damon stood at the head of the room, his presence as imposing as the storm that raged outside. The castle’s staff and guards lined the walls, their faces pale as they waited for his next words.“Someone in this castle betrayed us,” Damon began, his voice cold and sharp. “You allowed the Order to infiltrate these walls, to threaten my people and my queen.”His words sent a ripple of unease through the crowd. Hazel stood nearby, her hand resting lightly on the pendant beneath her tunic. It was warm against her skin, its hum faint but insistent—a constant reminder of the danger that loomed over them.Damon’s gaze swept across the room, dark and unforgiving. “We will find the traitor. And when we do, there will be no mercy.”---The interrogation began immediately. Guards questioned every servant, soldier, and advisor, their voices low but firm as they searched for answers. Hazel watched from the shadows, her mind

The aftermath of the traitor’s escape lingered like a storm cloud over the castle. Hazel sat in the council room, her fingers brushing the edge of the pendant as she replayed the man’s words in her mind: The queen will fall, and the king will break.Damon stood at the head of the table, speaking with his most trusted guards. His voice was low and firm, his eyes blazing with determination. “Seal every entrance. Double the patrols. No one enters or leaves without my approval.”The guards nodded, their armor clinking as they hurried from the room. Hazel waited until the door closed before speaking. “It’s not enough.”Damon turned to her, his brow furrowing. “What do you mean?”“They’re already inside,” Hazel said, her voice steady despite the knot of fear in her chest. “Whoever helped them knew exactly where to strike. We need to find out how they got here—and who let them in.”---The investigation began immediately. Damon and Hazel retraced the traitor’s steps, moving through the castl

The soft glow of dawn barely illuminated the castle walls as Hazel paced the length of Damon’s study. Her vision lingered in her mind, the chilling image of someone she trusted holding the dagger, their voice whispering betrayal.Damon stood by the window, his silhouette dark against the rising sun. His silence was heavy, his thoughts a storm Hazel could almost feel from across the room.“You believe me, don’t you?” Hazel asked, stopping mid-step to face him.Damon turned, his dark eyes meeting hers. “I do,” he said firmly. “But I can’t act on a vision without proof. Accusing the wrong person could fracture the kingdom further.”Hazel crossed her arms, frustration bubbling to the surface. “And what if we wait too long? The Order isn’t going to stop—they’re already inside the castle.”Damon strode toward her, his presence commanding as always. “We’ll find them,” he said, his voice low but resolute. “And when we do, they’ll pay for what they’ve done.”---Later that morning, Damon gathe

The cold air of the hidden chamber seemed to thicken as Garrick’s footsteps drew closer. Hazel’s pulse thundered in her ears, her hand gripping the edge of the stone pedestal for balance. She pressed herself further into the shadows, her mind racing.“Come out,” Garrick called, his voice cold and commanding. “I know someone’s here. You can’t hide from me.”Hazel held her breath, the faint hum of the pendant against her chest growing stronger. Its warmth was a strange comfort, but she knew it couldn’t protect her.Garrick’s footsteps paused, and Hazel risked a glance around the pillar. He was standing near the pedestal, his back to her as he studied the vial of dark magic he had placed there.“This will be the end of them,” he muttered, his voice low and chilling. “Of her.”Hazel’s stomach churned, but she forced herself to stay calm. She had to get out of the chamber without being seen. Slowly, she shifted her weight, her eyes scanning the room for another exit.---As Garrick turned

The doors to the inner keep slammed shut behind Damon and Hazel as Garrick stood before them, his presence radiating malevolence. The pendant around Hazel’s neck flared, its glow casting fleeting shadows on the stone walls.“You underestimated me,” Garrick sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “And now, you’ll watch as everything you hold dear crumbles.”Damon stepped in front of Hazel, his sword raised. His voice was a low growl. “You’ve made your choice, Garrick. Now face the consequences.”The air between them seemed to hum with tension as Garrick unsheathed a blade that pulsed with an unnatural, dark energy. “You think you can stop me? You can’t even begin to understand what I’ve unlocked.”Hazel’s fingers tightened around her dagger. The pendant’s warmth was stronger now, almost as though it was urging her forward. Her instincts screamed for her to stay behind Damon, but she couldn’t let him face this fight alone.Garrick lunged, his movements unnaturally fast. Damon met him

The castle walls trembled as the distant roar of approaching forces echoed through the cold night air. Damon stood atop the battlements, his sword gleaming under the pale moonlight. The faint glimmer of fires on the horizon marked the arrival of the Order’s army, their ranks moving like a shadowy tide.Hazel joined him, her heart pounding as she gazed out at the gathering threat. She tightened her grip on the pendant, its warmth steady against her chest.“They’re closer than I thought,” she said, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her veins.“They’ve been waiting for this,” Damon replied, his tone grim. “Garrick’s betrayal wasn’t just about weakening our defenses—it was a signal.”Hazel’s stomach churned. “A signal for what?”Damon’s jaw clenched. “To bring everything they have.”---The castle courtyard buzzed with activity as soldiers prepared for battle. Armor clinked, arrows were bundled, and supplies were hauled to strategic points along the walls. Hazel descended

The faint light of dawn crept over the horizon, casting a pale glow across the castle’s battered walls. The courtyard was quiet now, the echoes of the night’s battle replaced with the muffled groans of the wounded and the soft hum of activity as the defenders regrouped.Hazel stood near a makeshift infirmary set up in the corner of the courtyard, her eyes scanning the injured soldiers as Evelyn worked tirelessly alongside the healers. Hazel’s hands trembled as she tried to clean her dagger. The blood smeared on its blade was a stark reminder of how close they had come to losing everything.“Hazel.”She turned at the sound of Damon’s voice. He approached her, his steps deliberate despite the exhaustion that clung to him like a second skin.“You should rest,” he said, his tone softer than usual.Hazel shook her head. “There’s no time for that. The Order won’t stop. They’ll come again, and we need to be ready.”Damon studied her for a moment, his dark eyes unreadable. Then, without a wor

The twisted creatures from earlier were only a glimpse of what was to come.Behind her, the soldiers worked tirelessly, reinforcing barricades and sharpening blades. The weight of the impending battle pressed down on everyone, but none more than Damon and Hazel.“They’re getting closer,” Evelyn said, appearing at Hazel’s side. Her face was pale, but her voice was steady.Hazel nodded, her gaze never leaving the horizon. “We have to be ready.”Evelyn hesitated before placing a hand on Hazel’s shoulder. “You’ve come so far, Hazel. Whatever happens, you’re not the same girl who stood in the shadows of this kingdom.”Hazel managed a faint smile, the warmth of Evelyn’s words cutting through the chill of fear. “Thank you.”As Evelyn stepped away, Hazel felt Damon’s presence before she saw him. His hand brushed against hers, grounding

The thought of luring Garrick’s army into the canyon was a gamble, but it was one they couldn’t afford to lose.Hazel stood on the battlements, her eyes scanning the horizon. The skies were heavy with dark clouds, an ominous sign of what was to come.“You’re deep in thought again,” Damon’s voice came from behind her.Hazel turned, finding him leaning casually against the stone wall, his eyes fixed on her. Despite the chaos brewing around them, he looked composed, though she could see the tension in his jaw.“Just thinking about the plan,” Hazel admitted. “It’s a lot to risk.”Damon stepped closer, his presence grounding her. “Every battle is a risk. But this one? This one we win.”Hazel managed a faint smile. “You’re confident.”“I have to be,” Damon replied, his hand brushing against hers. “For you. For this kingdom.”Their fingers intertwined, a

The room was quiet, save for the soft crackle of the fireplace. Hazel lay nestled against Damon’s chest, her breathing steady as her fingers absently traced the lines of his muscles. His hand rested on her waist, his grip possessive even in rest.“You’ve ruined me, you know,” Damon said suddenly, his voice low and amused.Hazel glanced up at him, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “I doubt that.”Damon chuckled, his fingers brushing along her spine. “You think I’m joking? I can’t even imagine a life without you now.”Hazel’s cheeks flushed, but she didn’t look away. “Good. Because I don’t plan on going anywhere.”His gaze softened, the usual intensity in his eyes replaced by something warmer. But before either of them could speak again, a sharp knock echoed through the room.Damon’s expression darkened instantly, his hand tightening on Hazel’s waist as he called out, “Enter.”The door creaked open, and Evelyn stepped inside, her expression a mix of urgency and relief. “I’m sorry to in

A faint ache in her thighs reminded her of Damon’s intensity, and a soft blush crept across her cheeks.Before she could shift fully awake, she felt a hand slide across her bare waist, firm and possessive. Damon’s warmth pressed against her back, his breath tickling the curve of her neck.“Good morning,” he murmured, his voice low and velvety, sending a shiver down her spine.Hazel turned slightly, meeting his dark gaze. His eyes glinted with that familiar hunger, the same one that had left her breathless just hours ago.“Good morning,” she whispered back, her voice still thick with sleep.Damon’s lips curved into a wicked smile. “You look tempting like this,” he said, his fingers tracing lazy circles along her hip. “It’s dangerous to wake up beside me, little one.”Hazel’s heart raced as he pulled her closer

She shivered beneath him, her heart racing as his lips returned to hers, hungry and insistent.Damon’s hands slid down her body with deliberate precision, his touch both possessive and reverent. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this,” he murmured against her lips, his voice rough with barely restrained desire.Hazel’s breath hitched, her body arching into his touch. “Then don’t hold back,” she whispered, her voice trembling with anticipation.Damon’s eyes flashed with something primal. “You have no idea what you’ve unleashed.”With a low growl, he captured her lips again, his kiss searing and demanding. Hazel melted beneath him, her fingers tangling in his hair as his hands explored every inch of her body. He made quick work of the remaining barriers between them, his movements swift and practiced.“Damon,” she gasped, her voice catching as his mouth traveled

His gaze bore into hers, dark and unreadable, but the hunger in his eyes was unmistakable.Yet as the intensity of the moment swelled, Hazel felt something deeper—a pull in her chest, an overwhelming urge to speak the truth that had been burning inside her for weeks.“Damon,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.His movements stilled, his attention fully on her. “What is it?”Hazel’s throat tightened as she tried to find the right words. “I… I need you to know something. Before this goes any further.”Damon’s brows furrowed, his hand coming up to brush a stray lock of hair from her face. “Tell me.”Hazel took a shaky breath, her heart pounding in her chest. “I didn’t think it was possible… not after everything. But somewhere along the way, I—” She broke off, her cheeks flushing as the words caught in her throat.Damon’s gaze softened, his
Forced Marriage with The Devil The Confession 1
The castle was eerily quiet as night fell. For the first time in days, the fires of battle had been extinguished, and the courtyard was empty save for a few lingering guards. Hazel stood by the window in her chambers, staring out at the moonlit landscape.Her body ached from the fight, but it was her mind that refused to settle. The memory of the Aether Stone’s power still lingered, a heavy weight in her chest. She touched the spot where the pendant used to rest, its warmth now replaced with a hollow ache.A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts.“Come in,” she said softly, her voice barely audible.The door creaked open, and Damon stepped inside. His presence filled the room, his dark eyes locking onto hers immediately.

The creatures were relentless. Their grotesque forms moved with terrifying speed, their glowing red eyes locked on their target—the hidden chamber housing the Aether Stone. Damon cut down one after another, his sword an extension of his fury.“Hazel, stay with me!” he called over the chaos.“I’m not going anywhere!” Hazel shouted back, her dagger flashing as she drove it into the nearest enemy.

The castle’s defenses were crumbling under the onslaught.“We need to fall back!” Damon shouted, his voice cutting through the din.Hazel nodded, her breath coming in short gasps.
