MATED TO THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER

CHAPTER FOUR

Diana went up to her room and locked the door, 

She carefully removed her drenched clothes and entered the warm bath. Her father had already prepared the hot water before she and Sam came ....she was very glad , she knew he was always thoughtful towards them. As she sank into the lukewarm water and let it calm her nerves. 

Slowly, she started remembering all what had happened earlier in the day ....and she instantly frowned. 

‘Right..., Brad was behaving quite distant today’, thought Diana. 

 And when he had snapped at her ...Brad never raised his voice at her and she couldn't comprehend what had made him come to that. Yet she flinched, what Brad said about her was quite true....she was just living her life idly, not caring about her life or her future. 

And if she was being honest, ever since he came back about a year ago...he hasn't been himself.

It was like something had happened and he wasn't ready to open up. She missed the old Brad....they had been very close , almost inseparable, but now, ever since he came back ....it was like he turned to someone else .

She had tried talking to him, but he somehow deflected the discussion every single time and she didn't want to force him.

She was overly curious, because when he wrote letters he seemed quite happy. 

But when he came back it was like something bad happened. 

She hoped he was fine....she really wished he had to speak with her. 

Suddenly she noticed the warm water had turned quite cold , she signed ....she had been thinking again ...and whenever she had these episodes ....she noticed she was mostly thinking of one person...Brad 

Just thinking about his name made her flush immediately....shaking her head. 

She quickly rose up from the bath tub and took her towel and stared at the reflection in the glass..

She was confident about her figure...she wasn't that busty but she had wide hips which also complimented her thin waist....not to talk of her plump ass .....her green eyes, which had the slightest pinch of grey in them ..

It was quite the lightest shade of green, which made her auburn hair shine more. 

She was very beautiful. She knew that.In fact, she was certain she was, yet she was frustrated. 

She just couldn't understand why Brad seemed oblivious to her. 

She was attractive and hot. 

But she had never seen him glance at her in the least inappropriate way. 

Which sometimes made her insecure.....she wondered maybe he wasn't really into girls her shape. 

But what made her more confused was that most men seem to love women with her shape. 

But it seems Brad was an exception.

Noticing she had been lost in thoughts again

She quickly wore a thin night dress and instantly lied down ..

She was very tired already....especially with the warm bath which had cooled her nerves ..so she slept soundly and dreamt about the future she and Brad would have .

Downstairs , 

Mr Sparrow sat in front of the fireplace. 

He kept staring at the fire but he wasn’t there anymore.....he kept remembering the promise he made to his wife . Despite it being about twelve years since she passed away , he still vividly remembered the day.

She was in the garden watering the plants and she looked very beautiful. 

Her auburn hair, complimenting her blue eyes , she was laughing at a joke he had made. They had decided to grow a new flower in their garden and he could still feel the love and peace that had radiated on that day . Both of them had not expected the turn of events...it all happened like a dream.

First, he had been moving to carry the water can while she was there with gloves in her hand trying to cover the roots of the flower when suddenly he heard an explosion. By the time he turned, he saw a creature .....it was frighteningly beautiful with horns and scalons ....it was vicious and very scary. He had never seen anything like that.

They were both fighting , he was enthralled by the fact that his wife was using magic and how she had suddenly grown wings ...very beautiful, almost translucent ....and she was regal , just like a beautiful yet dangerous predator.

“RAKE!!, run.....don’t let it take Diana “.....he was paralyzed and didn’t know what to do .

Seeing that he wasn’t moving and still seemed in a daze, she became infuriated because she knew the demon was there for Diana ...she knew she couldn’t protect her forever ever, but she hadn’t expected the other world would catch up on her this early.

She needed to protect Diana , she knew they were going to come after her and it was all her fault. With this , she turned to her opponent and frowned

She knew this was just a distraction and she didn’t have the time to dwell on this fight. She needed to get her family to safety.

That being said , with a s***h from a trident, she finally killed the demon .

She turned to her husband and, seeing the shock, she knew that she had a lot of explaining to do , but most importantly, she had to move somewhere safe. Eyeing her surroundings for any more threats , seeing that everything seemed too calm ....she knew more were coming and she wasn’t done just yet .

Quickly, she ran to her husband and said

“ Look Rake, you have to leave from here .... I would love to explain everything to you but I need you to trust me first.... You see that thing I just killed.... It's called a Drak and more are coming and I need you to leave here and take our kids with you... I can’t explain anything right now. I need you to go,” explained Nora.

Nora quickly gave him her necklace and told him to run and to never look back. She had kissed him so passionately and told him she loved him and then she told him.

“ I want you to look for someone called Luke , he will explain everything to you and help you ”....when that was said. She kissed him once more and that kiss had felt like a good bye kiss, adding to the fact that she was crying and he remembered even though she was crying , she still looked breathtakingly beautiful . 

Before he could reply to her, another explosion was heard, then he saw them.....the Drak ..they were about a hundred and she had used her magic to push him far away.

He was already crying , remembering all those sad thoughts....his dear wife had died and it was all his fault, he shouldn.t have left her ....he should have stayed and fought,

He was a coward, then he felt it....the hand of his wife on his shoulders ,Hope.

He had remarried after about five years, when he had moved to Rolax, which led to the birth of Emma.

“ My love, please don’t cry...don’t hurt yourself....it wasn’t your fault” said Hope.  

She was jealous of his first wife, because, being married to him for the past seven years ....he was still very in love with her and it hurt her to know that he would never love her the same, but she had come to terms with it, accepting the fact that she was the second to come into his life.

“ My love, come .....let's go to bed” said Hope.

With this, she helped Rake up and led him to their room, diverting Rake from his sorrow and providing him comfort.

Meanwhile, in the forest,

 A pair of red eyes shone in the darkness,

He could smell her scent lingering there.....but the rain had muddled everything up.

He had been close but yet he had lost her scent again....he was pissed ...

Which was an understatement because he knew that if his master should find out he failed again...he would have his head ..

But at least he knew that she was very close by ....

He should try looking into the villages in this area. 

She should definitely be in one ...

Yet he thought about it, what would he do when he found her ,and what exactly would she look like ...she would most likely look like the mixture of his master and his mate who had sadly passed away .And he couldn’t possibly imagine how powerful she would be...

In some way he pitied her. She didn’t know what the world had in store for her, but he knew one thing for sure, and that was, he had to find her very quickly if he planned to live long enough to see his own mate.

With this, he quickly vanished ....anyone who was there would have never have thought that a creature as frightening as him had been there.
