The Kings Blood Calling

Demon

Angelos pov.

"Could you maybe spend some time with Kasious while I try to shift into a Mammoth?" Annarose looks down nervously waiting for my reply. I lightly chuck her chin up with my finger a smirk lingering.

"I would love to," I tell her sternly. She releases a shuttered sigh of relief. I engulf her in my arms burying my face in her hair taking in her scent with a long breath it's a tiny fix for my addiction to be as close as possible to this woman.

Kissing her temple I then step back starting into her eyes I can feel her fears mixed and mingled with my own. My hand shakes that lays on her shoulder. 

Removing my hand I look away with a grunt and with legs that are unsteady make my way over to my son who sleeps so peacefully in a world of destruction.

Picking him up I know It's my duty to protect him and his mother from ever knowing the real world that's soon to be awakened.

At least until he has to become as I am. A chess piece a pond in anothers game. I cradle him close and look back at my wife who has tears in her beautiful eyes.

"I'll take him, rest your mind." She nods I take long stride to kiss her lips one more time then let her kiss her son before I leave her chamber.

I loathe leaving her. I always have a pull in her direction only wanting to keep her close. Every time I walk away it pains me, my chest squeezes in refusal.

I walk to Katherine's room unwantedly. It's like spending time with someone you deep down don't want to but feel guilty not to for she is my wife and soon to be my Queen to rule alongside me. I tap on the door lightly.

She opens the door staring at me with her lifeless eyes. She looks to my son in my arms and her nostrils flare before turning her back to me leaving the door open for my entry. I walk in without a word shutting the door gently behind me.

I keep my eyes on her as I take a seat at the tea table. She takes a seat at her vanity looking at us with her thoughts swirling in her mind.

"Speak. Tell me what's on your mind wife." I tell her lowly my eyes boring into hers.

"Why would you bring your son here to my chamber. He is not a child we created together. He is not the heir to the throne for I did not birth him. You understand?" Fury! Her words ignite fury to burn within me. 

"He is my son is he not? No matter the title of his mother. I will be a good father to all my children, title making little difference. As for the heir to the throne we both know until you birth a son for me he is our heir." She takes a deep breath tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't dare shed tears for this. You insult me and my son with your words then can't eat the honesty I feed you." I say through gritted teeth. She looks to me with a glint of anger that flows from her.

"You insult me by bringing your son to my room." She spits. I feel the flames within me grow and spread like the fire I was gifted.

I stand and in a flash, I'm before her glaring eyes of fury. I backhand her sending her to the floor holding her cheek in pure shock eyes widen and tears flowing silently. My anger still heavy my breathing labored. I can't take my eyes from her the anger for her disrespect to me making my eyes flash back and forth with my demon wanting out to inflict more pain. 

I close my eyes trying to regain some sanity. I turn and walk as calmly as I can back to my chair. Taking long inhales and exhales.

When I train my eyes back on my wife she gets up off the floor angry tears flowing from her eyes not looking at me.

"I don't like to hurt things that are mine. You would do well to remember not to disrespect me or my children no matter their title." I speak through my gritted teeth and ticking jaw. 

"Today was supposed to be our day Angelo." She speaks through a roughness because of the tears she is shedding.

I walk over placing Kasious between two pillows as he sleeps lightly sucking his little finger softening the anger in me with his innocence. I kiss his little head and with one last look at my precious son, I get up and face my future Queen.

I stride to her grabbing her jaw between my hand and softening my eyes looking into hers. I wipe her tears from her face with my thumbs and frown slightly. I graze her cheek gently that I slapped. 

"You want pain and caous? You want to make your life with me difficult?" I inquire in a soft voice.

She shakes her head no with a pained look overtaking her features. I grab her waist tightly clinging her close to my chest. I lean in moving her hair behind her ear as I whisper.

"We married for title don't pretend I owe you. I've given you title and will give you more children even crown you as my Queen. This anger you have is deeper. You want more right? You want my heart, my love? Maybe you've always had feelings for me but when did I ever lead you to believe I was capable of such?" I lean back lifting her head so she can see my words are true. She's speechless.

I always thought I'd keep this information to myself but my words are like knives piercing where it hurts. Maybe deep down I thought she would come to terms with it. I've seen she only becomes more ambitious with each day her hate and jealously growing like a weed...festering. 

For some reason, my blood calling and the fire it has created within me despise this woman. Despises giving her a title and my c**k. Her very life is a threat to the one my heart truly calls for. 

I release my hold on her and she sinks to the floor breathing hard not looking at me any further only looking at the wall letting my words mingle in her mind.

Maybe somethings wrong with me. I run my fingers through my hair and pace. I'm always on the edge with my anger lately. I just backhanded my wife and I swore to never do such things. The burning rage I have is only getting hotter. I must figure a way to control myself soon. The monster within me is agitated. 

It's even more so to those I feel will hurt my Annarose were bonded so tightly and she is my weakness my other half. I can't even stand to be in the presence of my father for his plans will indefinitely hurt her once she comes to acknowledge them.

"I'm sorry. I will strive to be more grateful for the things I do have." Katherine speaks softly walking over to my son. My heart literally drops not trusting her motives.

She pets his face looking at him with inner pain. I flash before her and rip her hand from his face in panic. Looking into her eyes with bulging possessiveness and protection for my son.

"I won't hurt him." She laughs and its so evil it sends shivers down my back. My hold tightening on her wrist. 

"Your anger burns so deep I can't trust you so keep your no good hands away from my son. Your not allowed to touch him." I speak loudly with a threat evident in my tone I didn't even mean to make.

"So Annarose can hold my daughter I birthed for you but I can't hold your non titled son?" She laughs with evil once again making me fling her wrist away in disgust.

"Annarose doesn't have any bad intentions in her bones. Unlike you, she would never hurt one of my children or you for her own gain." I spit angrily with a look of malice in my eyes for her audacity.

A few light taps on the door and Katherine walk over to open it. I pick my son back up cradling him close to me.

"What right do have to come here and knock on my door! How dare you have your son brought here!" The moment I turn I hear Katherine's angry yells and immediately know Annarose needs me. I flash just in time to their side as Katherine's hand is suspended in the air about to strike a blow upon Annaroses face. 

Just as I'm about to grab her wrist Annarose beats me to it holding Katherine's arm in mid-strike. She doesn't say anything only looks to me with bulging eyes like she should have just taken the hit. She looks down releasing Katherine's arm.

"I'm sorry." She mumbles fidgeting in nervousness. 

"You should be! Keep your filthy hands to yourself and learn your place! It's beneath mine if you haven't noticed!" Katherine yells and fumes at Annarose in anger. I step in front of Katherine and hand Annarose her son. 

"Give me a moment and I will come to you," I mumble Annarose only looks at her son and walks away in large strides. I watch until she's out of my sight and close the door gently behind me despite the anger that has boiled in my very heart.

I turn and wrap my hand around Katherine's throat my jaw ticking my eyes pulsing with so much anger I could kill.

"You dare?" I spit through my teeth that are clenched so hard they might break. She only smirks. Her station allows her to look down upon Annarose even put her in her place but I still won't stand for her putting her hands on her. 

Before I even notice I've rained slap after slap after slap on her face. Her yelps and screams muffled to my own ears my anger so great for her stupidity and vulgarness. I sling her away from me in fear I'll harm her further. She holds her face crying not looking at me any longer.

"I won't come to your bed until you change this absurd behavior," I mumble. She finally looks at me with venom.

"I will ruin you if you dare! Remember I will be your Queen I will have influences as great as your own making!" She fumes. I take large strides towards her grabbing her by her throat again clinging her to the wall my whole being pulsing in extreme fury. I growl loudly hoisting her leg up and taking her harshly while she desperately tries to remove my grasp that's restricting her airway until she's lost all consciousness. Then letting her drop to the floor after giving her the seed she threatened me for.

I let out a violent scream grasping my hair in my hands and pulling. I'm so heated with anger! This is how she wants my attention! She doesn't like my nice side she only wants the beast and she pokes until he's right where she wants him! 

I storm out going to my personal chambers I can't see Annarose like this covered in Katherine's scent and anger. I already know she more than likely heard already and that only pisses me off even more! Katherine brings out the worst in me and she wants Annarose to know my true demons. She's cunning and evil.

I tap on Annaroses door before just opening it going straight in. She's placing our son down in his bed. I stride to her wrapping her up tightly from behind in my arms burying my head in her neck for her calming scent.

She turns to wrap her arms around me burying her face in my chest. 

"I'm sorry for coming to her chambers. I won't do it again and you shouldn't take Kasious there in the future it angers her and frightens me." I nod my head not wanting to speak only wanting to feel her. I don't want her anywhere near Katherine and her craziness.

"I have to go now I've waited to tell you. I couldn't shift no matter how hard I tried and must go and see this elephant with my own eyes and ears." My hold becomes tighter not wanting to let her leave. 

"I'll go with you as father suggested." After a few moments of thinking, she finally nods as well. I just can't let her go without me it's too unbearable. I've already had enough of Katherine's s**t today. I don't know how I'll will be able to deal with her actions in the future shes too much igniting my fire to burn within me and making a demon out of me.
