Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 120: Wrath

The dinning hall was empty and indeed something appetizing was prepared for her, and it made her stomach grumbled at first sight. Eva paused when he pulled out a chair for her. She stared at him confused but moved to avoid making it any more awkward than it already was. He waited behind her chair until she was comfortably seated and grew wary when he lingered behind her. Evangeline shivered slightly when his dark gloved hands pushed the loose strands of her hair from her face, over her shoulders before plaiting it into a simple knot down her back.

She wondered what he was going to do next when he refused to leave, feeling the weight of his stares heavy on her and on the exposed skin of her neck and shoulders. The thin strap of the stress she had on doing nothing or little to fully cover much of her skin. When she had had enough of his behavior, she wanted to turn around to ask him what the matter was when he left to take the seat next to her at the head of the table. He sat there with a heavy sigh and a deep frown of displeasure on his perfect looks.

God, if he looked like this as a fallen God or demon, how did he look like as a God?

Evangeline felt overwhelmed trying to picture him as a beautiful righteous being that was responsible for life.

She nervously grab a hold of her spoon when he turned to catch her staring at him and being drawn to his immaculate features.

She cleared her throat as she took a spoon of the hot brown soup and brought it close to her lips to have a taste of goodness. She had another, and before she knew it, she began to enjoy the food to worry about having a devil god being infatuated by her.

’’You want to be my queen?’’ he asked so softly that it surprised her a bit.

Evangeline turned to him with a head nod. Wondering why he was still finding it unbelievable. Could it be because she showed how disgusted she was when he first asked her to be one?

’’I thought you hated it. What changed?’’

The thought of getting rid of him and returning things in her life back to normal and how they should be was so encouraging she dare not throw the opportunity over the fence.

’’Nothing,’’ She answered while munching on a vegetable with a peculiar taste.

Ree-ree still found that hard to believe. The thought of her wanting to be his queen after her constant refusal happening overnight was too good to be true. But he would rather not overthink it or welcome the feeling of dread that was slowly overtaking his senses. The last thing he would want was to be overly conscious of her moves and behavior. He really wants her to be as free and loving as she was to him when he was nothing but an invisible phantom she held so dear to.

’’Nothing...’’ he repeated while drumming his fingers on the hard wood of the table in thought.

’’Except you don’t want me to be yours anymore, that’s fine as well. I would cheer you on if it is a woman of your harem you choose and send me away to continue dealing with this existence.’’

They locked eyes, and it was the most intense staring competition they’ve had between each other in the last twenty-four hours. She didn’t know she could survive being pressured under that look for long.

’’That’s never going to happen Charlotte,’’ he said breaking the silence that lingered for a while. ’’If I eventually wanted a woman in my harem close to me as well, don’t let it break your heart if that’s never going to grant you your freedom from me. I will have you both.’’

His eyes darkening possessively on her, and she hated it so much. He wasn’t making any sense again.

’’You can’t have both.’’ 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

’’Then I will have only you.’’

Evangeline took a moment to scoff down at her fault. He literarily has no idea.

’’What if I kill myself?’’

She thought she imagined how cold it all became around her. It was freezing enough to make her whole back tingle as he leaned on the table to stare directly at her. His long hair falling over his shoulders in that ethereal dark red waves.

’’Death can’t stop me from having you as mine forever. I thought your recent predicament should make you know better than trying to escape my grasp by dying.’’

She frowned deeper at him.

’’You’re crazy...’’ It left her lips before she could process it.

’’I am. It’s the only way I could have the one thing I have only desired in the mystery of my existence and keep it as mine forever.’’

One thing he has...

She really wished she could understand him better, but it’s all happening so fast that she was afraid of not being able to keep up and being lost in the process.

’’What is that one thing?’’

His full expression softening as he leaned close. It took another round of silence which just him looking at her in that intense, soft and emotional way.

’’She is beautiful. But she does not love or want to have anything to do with me anymore. It’s scaring me,’’ he admitted causing her lips to fall slightly apart as they maintained eye contact. For a moment, it felt like she was in her skin again, back in her world and old normal life and was with Ree-ree once more but he was visible to hold, touch, feel and stare at.

The way he confessed how he felt hit a part of her that she thought she did a good job at burying, but it was slowly resurfacing and that feeling scared her too.

She turned to one of his gloved hands sneaking to hold one of hers on the table while his gaze never departed from hers. It burned with passion and longing for her affection.

’’Is it because of who I am that you fear?’’

She watched as one of her hands on the table was completely wrapped around with his. His thumbs caressing the back of her palms, so tempted to rethink her decision but resisted.

’’Tell me what you want me to be for you to be worthy of your affection?’’

Evangeline tried looking elsewhere as she had no love left in her to give to anyone but herself. The hunger in her to return home and have all this be nothing but a terrible nightmare overshadowed every feeling she once held for him. She slowly withdrew her hands from him which hurt the demon desperate to have her be interested in him again than she could imagine.

’’Let’s just have the wedding or...however it is done here if possible by tomorrow and be crowned your queen.’’

As I am also desperate not to spend another minute down here in this world with you anymore or be involved in my life in any way.

’’Thanks for the meal. I will leave first,’’ Eva rose to her feet and left the room without her breathing another world.

☆

It wasn’t that long, she was being dressed up to be so pretty for an important event of her life in this bizarre realm— but this time she was being dressed up to be the bride of the notoriously evil demon prince and the future queen of demons.

His assassination was going to happen tonight, immediately after her coronation as the queen of demons.

The red revealing gown she was thrown in indeed made her look beautiful and seductive. Highlighting every area of her curves enough to attract a lot of lustful gazes at her. A dark red and long veil was placed elegantly on her well done hair do. The veil looked bloodied and for the first time she appeared darker and dangerous than usual. The god-slaying dagger resting somewhere secured in this dress as she anticipated the moment she would get to end it all at once.

To fulfil destiny and return all the glory to the heavens for her reward.

Her glacial blue eyes were set in determination and her face void of any sign of warmth.

She was being led down the unholy court of the dungeons and every head rose in acknowledgement of her appearance and some bowed in reverence. While most gazed at her in uncontrolled lust the rest had this disturbing doubtful look on their faces.

Probably wondering why their King was uncontrollably obsessed with a product of the enemy to the point of getting joined to one and making her a queen over them. Eva felt like laughing at each of their faces. If she were indeed a werewolf, he would’ve had killed her or fed her head to the ravens to feast on to his pleasure.

She waited quietly for her groom all alone at the altar trying not to get top scared by the humongous snake hissing behind her once in a while.

It took longer than expected for him to come and get this over with. It made her anxious to know what the delay was.

He wouldn’t dare leave her standing on the altar like the fool she was in front of all these demons.

Wasn’t he being serious about making her his queen?

When an hour was stretching to an eternity, she had this strong urge to just give up. Let go of this dead flowers in-between her palms and ran away from here as far as she could and fast.

The double doors opening with a loud bang eased the prolonged silence that has been existing in the courtroom. Her heart skipped a bit as he slowly grabbed every single living thing attention in the whole room with his matching costume with her and neck breaking appearance.

It wasn’t that hard for him to earn quick and whispered praises about how he looked for the wedding from the crowd. No one could ever match with perfection even if they tried.

And if perfection had a physical form, it was this devil god approaching her with a disturbing and chilling cloud of displeasure and pending wrath in him as he got close.
