The Demon Princess and Death

Chapter 10 Adam's POV

I watched as she glided into the room with confidence, but I knew differently. My mate's confidence was boosted by Natassa's arrival sure. But this was a show, and a silly little notion she felt that she needed to be seen as unstoppable, the leader. She only had to really look around this room and see there was no need. She might be the force that came and told them of their tasks, the fight a head. But this isn't just her fight and in this room there were more alpha males and strong women used to these types of fights and are more than capable of sharing the burden of what's to come. She didn't need to take it all on alone. I would let that sh*t slide for now, let her try and see for herself. She had to be no one else but herself.

But if she carried that on for much longer, no matter if my mate could now wipe the floor with me ability wise. My mate still crumbled in my arms beautifully. I was the one she still let see her insecurities, but I was also the one that she felt safe enough to not fake being in control. She handed it all over beautifully, her body relaxed under my touch, then tensed at all the right times. My mate's body has changed too along the way. She had lost a lot of her softness, although she was stunning now. I missed the softness too. I loved all of her curves. At least she had kept some of the softness in the right areas. Watching as her plump bottom smacking against my abdomen last night as she rode me like a pro and a greedy little minx chasing her pleasure is the sweetest sight I have ever seen.

" Stop it " I heard her voice in my mind. I looked at her unapologetically. In my mind I flashed an image of when I had cuisine for my favorite meal, the feast being the one between her legs. I watched in delight as a blush crept on to her cheeks.

" Will you behave" I heard Davax at the side of me.

I looked at my long-time friend, begrudgingly dragging my eyes away from her to do so. " Behave ? " I asked, like it was a foreign concept that confused me.

He shook his head, blowing out a breath. " Everyone here can see what you're doing to that poor girl. The wolves could no doubt smell it too. I may not have raised her, but she is my daughter. Stop doing what you're doing in my presence " he groaned.

I laughed and smacked him on the back " Don't be so prudish my friend, this is the way of paranormal beings. We enjoy the act more than humans , our connection is stronger. I am not going to stop showing my mate how much I want her just because you're around. When you get your own mate you will understand " I told him.

I saw sadness cross his face. " I believe I have already had mine, and she is no longer here. Her mother was more to me than I ever let on " he admitted.

" The fates would not be so cruel. You're a good man. I am sure they will bless you with another " I say, not knowing if I was right or not, but hopeful for him.

" I am uninterested my friend. She was not replaceable. We better get to the meeting " he nodded at everyone now seated.

I frowned at his retreating back. I know he had said he had thought they were mates , but in all honesty I had been skeptical. i had been skeptical of demons with mates anyway, not believing my own mate was actually my mate, but just an infatuation for some time. But losing a mate was meant to be an all-consuming pain. I had seen Davax walk away from her. Send her back to the wolves. I had just thought it was the effect demons had on humans in her case, why she had crumbled. He hadn't. Then he went back to the evil b***h that would not be named.

I felt for my friend, if he was sure she was his mate. I mean, I had heard of second chance mates. But I knew Davax and he was stubborn. If he said he would not take another, he wouldn't. Demons lives were long, and before I had accepted I would spend my long life alone. But now I have her, that long life would have felt like torture every step of the way. Especially if you have experienced that connection like he is saying he has, and then it was snatched away cruelly.

My mischievous mood gone, I walked and took a seat next to my mate. My mood is now sour. She looked at me, I feel her gaze burning into the side of my face, but I didn't look at her. My anger isn't at her it's at the fact this was all so f*cked. That once again the b***h has ruined something for one of us. The fact she is still living pisses me off.

" Where is Selina now ? " I asked suddenly. I sensed Chelsea tense at the side of me.

I looked at Arakas, he had been the one to disappear with her.

He was frowning at me. " She is in the cells back at his kingdom" he looked towards Dante.

" Adam, why are you asking that ? " Chelsea asked.

I gritted my teeth." Surley, with all the magic in this room, we should be able to unlink you, and then we can finally kill the b***h " I hissed, my anger getting the better of me.

" There more than likely is a way, but we haven't had the chance to look yet " Valarie stated, sitting in the middle of her two mates.

" Adam , we have more important things to discuss than her " Chelsea said beside me. But now I knew where she was. All I wanted to do was go kill her. Chelsea was right. She should even be a thought right now, and I don't know why it is affecting me so much now. Shaking my head trying to clear it, I questioned myself as to why it was making my blood boil and the urge to go slit her throat was riding me hard.

" Your right sorry , please carry on " I huffed out. I snapped my fingers a glass of whiskey appeared. I quickly swallowed the full glass. When I looked up, the whole table was silently watching me like an exhibit. " Just demon anger, I am fine, please go on " I seethed.

Darius cleared his throat. " So what is the next thing he will send ? " He asked. The conversation kicked off around me, but I paid it no attention. My mind was swirling. This would be when I kicked the sh*t out of something or blasted music so loud the voices were drowned out the ones that told me to do stupid sh*t. I felt a hand land on mine. But this felt worse than ever. They were louder than ever. Looking down, I saw it was Chelsea's She rubbed circles on my hand , a soothing gesture. Her calmness seeped into me through her touch. It helped a little. But I needed something more.

Grunting, I turned my hand and gripped hers. F*ck the meeting we will catch up. I moved us, and removed our clothes.Once again back in the bedroom. " Adam, we need " Chelsea tried to protest, but my lips slamming on hers silenced her. Her argument died when my tongue swept across hers. Pulling back, I bit her lip harshly. Then let it go with a hiss. Looking into her eyes they were now burning with desire. " This isn't going to be gentle my love " I warned her. She poked her tongue out, sweeping it across her lips and swiped up the blood. " Screw gentle " she huffed.
