As they both eat I decide to test the boundaries even more.
“Let me guess the food is poisoned or even better full of wolfsbane?”
Demetrius calmly places his cutlery down then he brings his elbows up on to the table and clasps his hands together loudly.
“Matter of fact it isn’t, you may be dining with the devil but I need you in good health in order to fulfil your duties” he replies.
“My duties?”
“Yes, I am in need of your services.”
“And what services would those be?”
“You will find out in due time. Now please, zip your mouth shut and eat.”
“But—“
“Enough!”
“Sorry I’m just a little confused, I have a very important question to ask.”
He sighs heavily leaning back into his chair.
“What might that be?”
“How am I supposed to eat if you want me to zip my mouth shut?” I say putting on a fake innocent face. His jaw clenches.
“Would you like me to escort her back to her room?” The General asks him but Demetrius keeps silent as he continues to send me dagger. If looks could kill I would one hundred and fifty percent be dead. I’m trying my best to keep calm and composed under his eyes, hoping that he doesn’t see through me.
“Well how kind of you General, I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to get lost or hurt on my way back to my room. So thank you for offering to take care of a damsel in distress such as myself.”
The General slowly turns his head towards me his misty eyes boring into me.
“I don’t think she needs her tongue for her services, perhaps I should cut it out” he says tilting his head at me.
“Perhaps you should but then again I might need it... for other things” I say giving him a flirtatious look that makes him visibly tense.
I internally gag at the thought of doing anything with anybody else other than my mate.
“ENOUGH!” Demetrius’s voice booms through the room. I fail to hide that it gave me a fright but I’m not ready to stop just yet.
“Oh come on I was just getting started with trying to make a new friend. I don’t even know his real name yet. Surely it isn’t just The General, that would be rather stupid.”
“You are no friend of mine” The General replies bluntly.
“But we could be... maybe we could be more than just friends.”
Suddenly a knife comes flying my way so fast I barely saw it coming. The knife skims the top of my ear before going through the back of my seat making me jump up.
“Oh take a seat dear I believe you said you were just getting started so don’t run now. Although I must say, myself and General Rehor here have had quite enough of your smart mouth.”
Slowly I sit back down regaining my composure. I can’t stop now I’ve already made it this far I don’t want to leave this room until I’m being dragged out of here.
“General Rehor... I like that name it sounds rather... sexy.”
“It seems I’ve lost my appetite” General Rehor says before standing up from the table.
“Leaving so soon? Do I make you uncomfortable?”
I say as he walks my way. He stops right beside me and leans down so that he is right next to my face.
“Listen here little wolf, I may not be able to kill you but I will make sure your stay here is a living hell” he says in my ear.
“I look forward to it” I reply stroking his arm. He grabs my hand and squeezes it so hard I can feel my bones cracking. But right before they break completely he throws my hand down and walks out. I take a deep breath ignoring the pain.
*clap* *clap* *clap*
“Well done Namirah. I must say I did think you would be more of a damsel in distress, screaming and crying all of the time. However, within a short amount of time you’ve managed to majorly anger both Violetta and my General. If you were on my side you would have been quite an asset.”
“Who says I’m not on your side?”
“Ha. I’m not daft enough to believe you ever would be, no matter how infuriating that little mouth of yours can be, you will never be able to fool me.”
“I guess we’ll just have to see about that won’t we.”
“I’m not sure if you’re brave or just plain stupid to be playing your little games with us.”
“Maybe I’m a bit of both” I shrug.
“Perhaps you are. However, since you seem rather chatty we should get to know each other.”
“Who says I want to know anything about you?”
“Oh but I thought you wanted to make friends” he replies sarcastically.
“I’ve changed my mind.”
“Well then suit yourself. There’s not much I need to learn about you anyway, I already know everything about you.”
“You know nothing about me.”
“Oh but I do, I really do. I know about the son you had to your late mate, Reign is it?” My blood starts to boil. “I also know about your second chance mate, the famous, Alpha Kyron” he stands and begins to walk down the table dragging his now elongated claws along it. “And last but not least” he stops right by me. “I know you have twin sons” now I genuinely feel nervous and I don’t think I’m able to hide it this time. “It seems you and your namesake are not so different huh? So in saying that, you ought to do as I say without anymore of these shenanigans or else... I might just have to pay them all a visit.”
I frown up at him clenching my fists and jaw.
“Am I getting under your skin?” He says as he tilts my head up to him with his ice cold finger.
“Go to hell.”
“I vacation there.”
