The Tale of Damonous

. She had luscious pink and plump lips. I wondered if they were as soft as they looked. How strange was it to own such soft lips, but have a fiery tongue which didn seem to have a filter.

She never stayed silent.

A little troublemaker she was.

With every step she took danger and chaos had followed her as though they were her own shadow.

She wasn my mate. She couldn be. Just one squeeze to her neck could crush her windpipe. Just one flick of my fingers and it would stab her delicate skin, and just simple word from my mouth could break her tiny beating heart.

I drank in her features, memorizing every single bloody detail.

”You are the most beautiful human ive ever seen ” I told her in all honesty.

I watched how her eyes twinkled at my words as her brows tinged in confusion.

My fingers traced her wound. I glared at it. Anger burning within me like a disgusting bile of sin.

Kill Elisé Asmodeus hissed.

I then realized she was staring at the color of my eyes. I close them not wanting her to see my purple hues. She can know of our family. Nor of our species. Shed flee the first chance shed get.

Asmodeus growled at the thought.

I opened my eyes closing the shower after a familiar scent entered the palace doors.

Honeysuckle…

The little troublemaker was here.

I walk out of the shower, my ears listening to every sound within the palace looking for her.

Footsteps.

She was getting changed in the maids room. Walking to my dressing room I had gotten dressed, not bothered to put any sort of effort then left the room at a blinding speed where to walking by passers I was nothing but a gust of wind.

I sped down the stairs not bothering to dry my hair either then rushed past the kitchen before finally sitting down in my seat at the dining table. No one saw my arrival, but only my final presence on the chair.

Zayn rose an eyebrow as Vera blinked twice.

Elisés was in the dungeons.

Where she deserved to be.

Asmodeus returned but once her scent came even closer the anger was quick to vanish. He sat within my mind wagging his tail in excitement. A move of which he wouldn be caught dead doing.

How pathetic.

The Alpha to be was acting like a pet dog. He could chase after the mailman while he was at it.

I heard her tiny little footsteps.

I turned to the doors of which she was going to enter from.

Let the games begin troublemaker.

I hid my grin once I heard the footsteps echoing closer. Her scent of Honeysuckle came closer. I inhale the innocent mouth-watering scent.

The doors opened. My eyes trained on the troublesome girl. Ignoring such a wasteful conversation.

”But Mother when will Father come? ” Zayn asked.

Normally Id roll my eyes at the repeated question, but my eyes were trained on the young human girl who busily placed the plates of pancakes and waffles on the table and poured Vera he tea. Her hair tied high up in a messy bun exposing her delicate neck.

I noticed the bandage which covered her healing wound.

Good.

There was no need for me to do it myself.

Vera shook her head. ”He said hed be here tonight, but we still can be so sure ” She replies. It was then I heard Asmodeuss growling in the back of my mind. I felt his irritation.

What is it? I asked.

Look! He snarled.

She almost tripped over her own feet making Zayn chuckle, her cheeks burn in response before she giggled but no one seemed to notice.

No other than me of course.

It was then the fool felt my burning glare. His head turned as he shrugged. What? He asked.

I rose a brow, unamused.

I then felt tension.

The nervousness, the fear.

The excitement…

Once again these weren my emotions. Which could only mean one thing. I turned to see the troublemaking cub hesitantly walk to my direction not baring me a second glance. As if I wasn there.

I growled lowly enough for only her to hear.

She let out a trembling breath.

Still ignoring me, she leaned forward. A small strand of her hair fell by my side escaping her bun which was tied poorly. Her scent hovered around me like a tantalizing blanket. Taunting me under her spell.

Her neck was too dangerously close to my jaw…

My canines rip out of my gums, however not so violently like always. It was rather peaceful. Painless. My lips part as my tongue brushed against one of my canines.

I saw the goosebumps pepper through her skin.

She saw.

However as much as I felt her fear I felt her arousal.

She then turned to leave.

”Pour me a Coffee ” I said stopping her by her tracks.

I fought against a smirk as I watched her jaw clench.

She balled her tiny hands to tight fists by her sides.

I felt her tiny bubble of frustration as well as her anger towards me. It was nothing less than adorable.

After a moment of silence Vera spoke.

”Well? ” she said. ”Go on and pour him a Coffee! ” Vera snapped.

Asmodeus lifts his head from where he laid within my mind. Eyes glaring at Vera, not liking her tone.

The girl balled her hands into tighter fists as she forced up a tight and fake smile.

”Yes Lady Vera ” Her soft voice said.

She then pushed the moving tray and took out the coffee I ordered. I felt her emotions. The annoyance, her frustration and her adorable pique. Her anger amused me.

I fought the urge to laugh.

The young cub then leaned over my shoulder to pour it, having her front only inches away from my back. I could hear her heartbeat stutter at my every movement…

I tried focusing on her scent but the coffee inconveniently overshadowed the sweet smell with its heavy scent. Overpowering the only one I wanted to smell. I could hear her irregular and uneven breaths. She was nervous. Her hands slightly trembled as she poured the coffee.

I fought the pestering urge to hold her hand in comfort.

When it was half filled she put the coffee back down and turned to leave.

”We must know his arrival Vera. His absence is the only thing thats keeping this house its peace… ” Zayn said, his bright eyes trailing to meet with mine that still paid him no mind as I continued to look at the troublemaker as she walked away, disappearing behind the kitchen doors.

Vera sighed in frustration.

”Honey, your father will come whenever he feels like it. I thought you would have understood that by now- ” We all jumped at the sound of glass shattering, however my focus was on the little yelp that came after it.

I felt a hot burn arise from my arm. I felt her fear.

The next couple of seconds was a complete blur. Going to her was instinctive.

I stood from my seat, the chair fell backwards at the force unable to handle such the quickness of my pace. I then rushed to the kitchen with my gifted speed.

Horrified at the sight I saw.

Broken shards of glass splattered all over the floors. Hot coffee spilled all over her little maid uniform, but what made the scene all too baffling was the man who stood before her.

His familiar dark hair. Similar to mine. The same pale skin and the same tall height. His presence gave himself away. The power of which radiated the room. The power which forced people to bow down.

I fought the urge to grin.

His power was weaker than ever now…

His stench of Oud wood made it clear that he was truly here.

He took a step back from the poor girl. With a step he turned to me and smiled.

”Damonous. ” He bemused.

I stare back at him in indifference.

”Daivat ” I returned, choosing not to entertain him with emotion in my tone.

I gave away nothing.

He smiled. ”No fatherly hug my son? ” He asked.

Before I could reply, a high pitched snarl came through out the room.

”What is the meaning of this! ” My head snapped at Vera who was sending daggers at the poor innocent girl.

My eyebrows furrowed. I then realized that I still didn know her name.

My Human is an idiot Asmodeus mumbled. I ignored him before I forcefully forced him to the back of my mind giving me a severe headache. My jaw clenched at the pain.

It was then my eyes dart to the sight of the maid holding her scalp as if she too were in pain. I rose an eyebrow. Is she intertwined to my emotions as well? I wondered.

”You ignorant fool! ” Vera yelled storming up towards the maid.

”Don you know who the hell this man is?! ” She bellowed.

I was seconds away to throwing Vera out of the god-damn windows.

And this was a pretty high House.

”N-No Madame ” She stuttered. Something she did when she was nervous I had come to notice.

Vera grabbed the girls wrist forcefully but she didn bare a sound. However once her sharp nails dug into her delicate skin, threatening to cut the flesh I intervened.

Having enough, I moved at a inhuman speed grabbing the girl. I pulled her backwards making her back slam against my front. She only reached up to my chest with her tiny frame.

With a small hmf she hit her head on my chest.

I wrapped my arms around her waist protectively pulling from behind her back and pressed her against my front. Her mouthwatering scent of honeysuckle filled through my senses like a drug. I glared at Vera. I felt the troublesome girls confusion and shock, but above all I felt her pleasure, Asmodeus purred in the back of my mind, completely satisfied that she was just as affected as we were.

Vera stared at me in shock. Her jaw hung open as though Id grown a third head. I rolled my eyes.

Zayn walked in shock beholding his features too once seeing our position.

”Damonous what is the meaning of this! ” Vera said.

I glared at her making her gaze falter and lock to the floor.

”Oh don play all mother lover now Vera… You know better than that ” I tell her, mocking her.

She looks away from me in shame.

I then shifted my attention to Daivat.

My supposed father.

I glared at him too.

”And You. ” I said making sure my voice gave nothing away. The sweet girl shouldn be able to see my rage.

It would scare her away.

”What the hell are you doing here? ” I said still glaring at him.

Daivat rose an eyebrow. ”You are not Alpha yet Damonous. I could come here whenever I please ” He said. I stiffened after feeling the little human I held wonder in confusion. She can know.

Not yet.

I pressed my hands over her ears making sure she could not hear our conversation.

I have my eyes flash in their shade of violet. Bringing Asmodeus to the surface and my canines rip out of my teeth. The girl who stood in the mercy of my arms faced Daivats fearful expression. She couldn see me, nor did she fight against my hold, but only leaned to my touch subconsciously instead.

My lips stretch to a wolfish grin at the fear in his face. ”Oh am I not? ” I ask him not before tilting my head to the side.

”Then… why did you come here?.. Running?… ”

Daivat stayed silent.

This made my grin broaden all the more.

”Did you feel your power rip away from you? ” I asked.

Zayn tensed as Vera looks away from me in fear.

”You need your power… because without it you knew that you will be nothing. I do not need this power to have people bow under my command. However seeing your pathetic desperation makes it all the more fun ”

Daivat opened his mouth however I was quick to interrupt him.

I hide away all of my beastly features.

”And this- ” I said spinning the human making her gasp slightly. I held her by the arms and stared into those chocolate brown eyes. Like two Chocolate Chips, her body was the cookie itself. My tongue brushed over my lips at the thought.

”Im to punish this little one ” I mused.

I didn know which was better.

The small widening of the girls eyes which held nothing but fear once she had realized that she was now completely under my mercy, or the quickening pace of her beating heart in excitement knowing that I was the one punishing her.
