"I said,hello mate" he repeated as he stood up from her bed. Diana narrowed her eyes at him "I'm not your mate". "Wow. Feisty... I love it"he replied as he took slow steps towards her. "Did you know about this?"she mentally asked Lucian, "Nope but this is interesting". The Demon king watched her closely before speaking "Your interesting, you have two souls in you". Diana froze and looked at him. "How did you know?".
"I felt it and i don't like it". He cornered her to the wall as he gazed at her. "Your majesty... Please maintain decorum"she said as her heartbeat surprisingly increased and almost threatened to burst. He lifted her chin and stared at her."Stop it. I don't like it. Call me Damon... I want to hear it from your lips."
She looked at him like he had two heads. She can't call one of the most powerful supernaturals by his name.
"Say it my darling" he commanded.
"Damon.... Please step back"she spoke before looking up at him. His expression was surprising. He smiled widely, very widely just like a puppy going ven a treat. "You said my name. I'm very happy right now".
"This man is crazy" Diana thought.
"I don't like this" Lucian muttered.
"Why?"
"My host is my son's mate. It's troublesome"
"I thought you wanna meet your son"
"I do but not now. When the time comes"
"Why not now?"
"It's weird if a son finds out that his father soul is inside his mates soul."
"Mate?"Damon's voice snaps her from her thoughts.
"Yes?... What?....I can't be your mate" she stuttered.
His gaze immediately darkened
"What did you say?" He asked in a cold and icy tone.
"Don't play with those words mate or else" he threatened but it didn't affect her one bit.
"Shut it. Who do you think you are to claim me like that? I reject you. I don't want to be your mate" she retorted fiercely, and he just laughed.
"That's not how it works mate. You can't reject me. We were destined to be together and I'm not letting you go."he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I waited centuries for you and I'm not letting you go because of those words coming out from your juicy lips. So either you accept it or I force you."he said and pulled her impossibly closer.
Diana glared at him "I'm human. I'm not demon and I'll die before you". He stared at her for a moment before leaning down to her ear.
"Don't worry. After I mark you, you'll be able to live for centuries my love" he whispered seductively and licked the curve of her neck which sent a shiver down her spine. She immediately pulled away while touching the spot he licked. He just smiled at her action.
"I heard you got fired.... Wanna come with me?"he asked as he extended his hand.
She slapped his hand away and walked past him, towards her cupboard. "I'm not following you, you can't join speak some words and expect me to follow " she retort as she packed her bags.
"What are you doing?" Lucian asked, slightly panicked.
"I'm not following him that easily" she replied mentally.
"He's your mate and you're meant to obey"
"I'm not gonna be his lapdog, who obeys his every command"
"What? That doesn't make sense. He's meant to control you"
"Well... To bad. I'm not gonna be controlled that easily"the she said boldly and Lucian immediately shut up.
"Is it because of the other soul?... Huh?...What should I do to make you mine then?"Damon asked and she sighed,while pondering how to avoid him.
"I dont want to be controlled. I know humans aren't as powerful and strong as your kind but I'm not gonna sit down and be some cute puppy for the demon king." she replied and zipped her suitcase.
"I'm heading to my village."she announced and walked towards the door.
He immediately grabbed her wrist, firm but loose and spoke,
"I'll give you a year. After a year, I'll come get you. I have some things to finish,".
She looked at him for moment,
"Fine.. see you after a year". She pulled her wrist and walked out without a glance back and Damon lost it. He made sure she was far before her started breaking almost everything inside.
"Why those she have two souls?... Why is she so damn stubborn and proud? And it just draws me to her" he said through gritted teeth as he thrashed the room to pieces, almost loosing his sanity. The passing maids and guards stared at the broken door and room in horror, with the demon king about to lose his mind. He needed his mate, he wanted her to submit and yet she defied him.
He needed her and he was going to get her. All that's in the way was one year.
"One year and your mine. I'll make sure to rip that extra soul off you." he muttered devishly.
