Angela's POV :
I don't know why I told him all that, but I felt like I needed to. I fell like I'm with Yakov. Now, I instantly regret it.
He was literally boiling! I continued, "But, he didn't want me as his mate and neither did I. We're not in a relationship and I don't have anything to do with him. Most of all, I don't love him."
He seemed to calm down a bit and like an i***t I told him, "I even had to be a maid for a day to protect Stuffy."
Great! Now he stood up. His black hair grew long till his waist, his canines bared, his eyes were black and his nails grew and he increased in size.
I wasn't frightened, but I was startled at the sudden change.
I don't know what happened, but I stood in front of him and cupped his cheek while staring directly into his eyes. He inhaled a sharp breath and slowly turned back to normal.
He hugged me tightly and made us sit back on the sofa. He looked straight into my eyes and asked me, "Did he try anything."
I whispered, "No."
"Good, because if he did, a war would start."
I shook my head, "You don't have to go that far for my sake. It's okay, I always used to call him a monkey." That elicited a growl from him.
"Why did you call him that? It'll make him feel like he's special.
"I don't know."
"I wouldn't let him claim you even if you were his mate. He's just lucky that unlike werewolves, vampires have a higher priority in who they chose to spend the rest of their life with unlike werewolves who have to be with their mates and don't call anyone else those names."
"What about you?"
He chuckled and said, "You can call me whatever you want sweetheart."
"Demos."
"What?"
"Your name is too long, so I'll just call you wild bison or Demos."
He gave a full teeth smile and said, "I love it."
Then, he kissed my nose and after he pulled back, I was so disappointed. What's gotten into me? I leaned forward and captured his lips with mine. He was shocked at first, but gripped my waist tightly and immediately responded. When I pulled away, he said,
"You could've just asked me."
I felt embarrassed, but covered it up, "You could consider yourself lucky because I'VE never made the first move. I can't believe I just kissed a guy who barged into my house, but I feel really unusually safely protected around you."
He smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, "That's what I wanted."
"I need to tell you one more thing, one morning when I woke up, Yakov's head was on my stomach."
This time, Demos roared that the floor actually shook.
I added, "But, nothing happened. I'm being completely honest with you."
He said, "From this very second, I will be your partner in everything."
"Even partner in making Demos look like a fool."
He chuckled and hugged me, "Maybe."
Then, I suddenly asked him, "Did you ever love someone?"
He started, "Long ago, I had a wife who I loved very much, but she ended up dead because of my subordinates who found her cheating on me."
"That's the worst lie I've ever heard."
"How did you know?"
"I just know it."
Now, he asked me, "Do you act like this with all the people who 'barge' into your house."
"Like I said before, consider yourself lucky."
"So I am kind of devil?"
"Only mine. Mischevious devil. You are not a full one. Since I am king, if I turn you into one, you will become a full devil. However, only a true king like me has this opportunity. Once I bite into your wrist, my poison will flow into your body and you will become a devil and a queen."
"Hmmm......I'm don't want to be a queen. Is there anything that I can do in human form that I cannot do in devil form?"
"No, you can do everything and anything in devil form. I will certainly give you time to prepare to be a queen. If you still don't want to become queen, then you just have to be with me, no need to rule anyone. So do you want to go to the devil realm?"
Just as I was about to reply, I heard a voice in my head.
Feel your heartbeat.
I did feel it and it was perfectly normal while sitting on Demos' lap. I tried speaking to that voice.
It's perfectly normal.
Exactly. When you were with me, it was beating really fast.
I was shocked.
Yucko, get out of my head, I spit with venom filled in my voice.
Please, I'm begging you, don't do anything with that evil spirit. Stay where you are. I'm coming for you.
No, I won't listen to you. I said back, but there was no response.
How dare he invade my mind?! That Neanderthal!
There was a black aura emitting from Demos and he didn't seem like a human anymore. Okay, I'm getting scared. After Yakov's voice, I feel like I'm being lured into a trap.
Then Demos suddenly got up in an unusual form and started screaming incoherent things while looking at me with venom in his eyes. As he was almost about to claw my flesh out, he pulled his hand away like it burned. He no longer looked like a human. Just like an evil spirit like Yakov said.
That spirit opened up a realm and almost dragged me into it before I let out an ear-piercing scream, "YAKOV!!!!"
I'm coming, hold on baby.
As if on cue, Yakov burst through the door and threw something over the spirit. It let out an ear-piercing scream and vanished into thin air.
I was a brave girl, but there were tears welling up in my eyes. Stuffy was gone too. Great! Now, I need someone to comfort me. Yucko closed the portal with his ring. After he was done, he looked to face me.
