MATED TO THE DEVIL'S SON

Episode 13: a savior in the dark

POV(ANASTASIA),

Tightening my grip on the tiny stick, I opened my eyes slowly and staring at the wolf mid air made my hear sink, the end is near.......

The wolf was right up there and lost in my own world is me waiting at the entrance of the gates above, heaven or hell?, I've never really done anything so good anyway, let's just go into hell silently.

The wolf split in half and blood splattered over my face, I got terrified and the sight of the half cut wolf lying lifelessly on the ground gave me the chills as the other wolfs ran away in fright.

I trembled in fear as I summoned the courage to look up at the working miracle, like a wonder in my eyes, there he was, standing with his face covered in blood.

His long sword dripping with fresh blood, his eyes glittering in the dark like a flashlight, rage, fury in his eyes, Lucian.... He was right there, like a devil, no a savior!.

He just saved me?, From death?, I didn't die?, This isn't a dream right?, I'm alive!, Oh my God I'm alive!, Thank goodness.

"Take note of this, Congratulations you just killed your sister!, Anastasia Hills is dead as from today on, I pronounce her dead!!!", He yelled and I sighted Amelia and Louis from afar, they were running away?.

"Now you get up!", He thundered and I trembled as I tried to stand on my feet, "get up this instant!", He yelled and I hurried up summoning the strength in me.

Yes, there's was nothing to say, I'm grateful for saving my life and I want to go with him this instant, I don't mind being a concubine or whatever, I just want to live.

"Get on!" He ordered as a white horse came from behind him, I couldn't climb the horse since I was hurt, but I knew I was in the wrong so I'd better keep my mouth shut and follow silently like a lost puppy but of course I'm a scaredy cat.

He hopped on the horse and stretched his left arm opening his palm, I held his hand and he pulled me up, he tightened the reins and the horse ran without command.

I could hear his fierce breathing behind me and the heat boiled me up, he was drenched in sweat and he looked like he was coming from a warfront.

He breathed heavily behind me and his heavy breathing cut through my flesh like daggers, I dozed off, not quite sure how I did that on a moving horse but I'm pretty sure I rested in his arms and the ride went steady.

The scorching feeling of the morning sun hit my face and I opened my eyes slowly, in front of me stands a kingdom ahead, the giant iron gate told me it was the boarder.

The gate opened slowly and traders came rushing in and out, it was crowded, unlike my kingdom that doesn't allow anything from the outside, it looked peaceful and happy.

The sound of chattering, chatting and laughing caught my ear and I got engrossed in it, trucks, horse and carts coming from many sides, then I noticed I was still on a horse , on his horse, and foolish me rested my head on his chest this whole time enjoying the view of nature.

I raised my head and tried to straighten my back but the pain pushed me back hitting my head on his chest, "it's okay, just stay that way", he said and I relaxed my head slowly, "thank you", I said tilting my head.

I could hear his heartbeat thumping and it felt like music to my ears, it gave me butterflies and I raised my palm slowly placing them on my chest, yes, it was matching, our heart❤️beat,°-°/, the sound merged and became a rythm.

"Ha!", Lucian said almost yelling and fastened the horse as he rushed in with his troops behind him, "all hail!!!!, Prince Lucian, the King of Kings!!!!!, Victory is ours.........., All hail Prince Lucian the King of Kings, victory is ours!!!!", The whole kingdom chorused and it was very enchanting.

They didn't seem to do it like a duty, more like they were all sincere, "king of Kings?, But he's not the king", I thought silently in my minds and put a slick smile on.

It seemed like he was loved by all, since everyone wanted to catch his hand, they sprayed flowers up and it created the beautiful scene, "all hail......?!!!!!!, The...... woman on a horse!!!", They chorused and it was kind of funny, they didn't know who I was, he probably didn't tell them who I was before, it's time I show myself.

"Actually..... I'm.....", I commenced clearing my voice even though I'm not sure if they heard me,"shut it", Lucian said and I frowned rested comfortably in my imaginary bed.

POV(KING MATTHEW),

The sound of victory echoed from a far distance and I tried to see the occasion from the palace tower, "My lordThe demon and his spoilt brat has arrived at the gate", Queen Victoria said walking in looking troubled.

"I sense danger your highness!", She said and I faked a reassuring smile, "There's us nothing he can do with that tiny brat he brought with him, she won't last long", I said turning to her.

"What should we do about her?", Queen Victoria asked and for real, I just wanted to get rid of her, "get rid of her, silently and don't draw suspicions, do it in your style", I said and she smiled, of course she was good at doing things like ruining things, "your wish is my command", she said and walked away shutting the door silently.

The thought of him back home and ruining the peace of the palace once again gave me chills and at moment, the only thing I wanted to do was to get rid of that silly girl.

"Hey Paul, come and check what is going on here", I called Paul my assistant and he rushed over to my side, "I see a horse, there's someone on it..... It's a person..... Two people", he said silently, "two people?, Check it out, do you know who they are?", I asked and he looked like he was struggling to see it.

"Prince Lucian.....and a lady....", He said and I frowned, "she's sleeping... resting", he said and it sounded absurd, "resting?!, On a horse?", I asked and he nodded, "she's sleeping peacefully on his chest", he said and it was annoying, "how shameful of them, doing that in public!", I growled.

The fear in me is as high as that of the palace tower, I am afraid and I dare not speak of it to maintain my dignity, but first....that little brat must die.
