The Demon King

CHAPTER 15

Rose's POV

"Hounds?", I question him.

"Yes hounds. Like you have dogs as pets on earth we have hounds. But, they are not friendly and can attack anyone except for their master and their king, me. So, that's why I have to do this.", he says.

"Do what?" , I ask being confused but before I could say anything else he pulls me close to him that my whole upper body crashes into his chest. Yes, I am that small compared to him. His whole chest is the double the size of my whole upper body.

"This." 

And he nuzzles his head in my neck and starts leaving small kisses there. I moan involuntarily and keep my hands on his chest. While he is licking, sucking and biting my neck , I am breathing hard and fast and moaning softly.

"W-what are u-you doing?", I question him in voice that is filled deep with lust.

He places a wet kiss on my neck one more time before facing me. My face is probably red like a tomato. Seeing my state he smirks.

"I did this, so that my scent was all over you. I didn't want my hounds to try and attack you. If they smell me on you, they'll be more calm. You're not officially the queen yet, so the hounds might attack you if my scent is not on you. But, don't worry once I mark you in the place of this hickey right here, then the whole of hell will know you're mine and their queen."

Saying this , he gently released me. I don't bother checking the hickey because of how shy I am currently. I just move away, so that I am pressed towards the Door and I cover my face with my hands.

Seeing me go all shy, Damien chuckles.

"My shy little mate."

                                 ..................

We reach a to a barren land. There is literally nothing here. Not even a stock lying here.

"Where are your hounds?", I ask him while my eyes search for the dogs he keeps. I know they are not exactly dogs, but who cares.

With a flick of his wrist three large cages appear, in front of us. There inside those cages are three calm beasts. 

They look terrifying, yet extremely intriguing. They look like monsters but seeing them sitting down , calm in their cages makes them look so....innocent.

Each one them having three heads. They are large, bigger than my size but smaller than Damien's. They have some metal collar around their necks and have black skin.

Damien pushes me behind him, and snaps his fingers. The doors of the cages are opened and all three hounds come out. 

They come and stand directly infront of him, while I am peeking from his side.  Damien softly pets them, while the hounds purr in delight.

A soft 'aww' escapes my mouth. The heads of the three hounds turns towards me. They sniff the air and calm down instantly. They start walking around Damien and come sit right next to me. Even while sitting their height is up to my shoulders. 

"Go on, love.", Damien says while gently lifting my hand and keeping it on one of the hounds' head.

I gain some courage and softly pet them on it's head. The hounds tongue comes out and it licks my hand. I giggle at its actions.

"His name is Zion. The one his right Dimtiris and the one on his left is hades. " , Damien tells me.

Their difference is that Zion has blue eyes, Dimtiris has red and hades has both blue and red.

"They are cute.", I say while grinning at the hound before me.

"I am deeply offended of you think that my hounds are cute, you just wait. I will show how cute they are now.", Damien says playfully.

"Zion, growl at her.", Damien instructs.

But instead of that Zion just rolls on his back and let's me tickle his belly , while his tongue is flapping out.

I laugh and say,

"Looks like he likes me more now." , and I stick my tongue out at him.

Damien just pouts at me and turns his head away while crossing his arms.

"Aww....is the big bad beast angwy?", I mock him in a baby voice.

"Yes.", he replies but still has his head turned away.

"So what should I do to not make you angwy anymore?", I say while grinning at him.

"A kiss will do just fine.", he says cheekily.

"Ok.", I say surprising him.

"Ok? As in you will kiss me.", he asks in disbelief.

"Yes."

And with that I walk towards him while swaying my hips, his eyes grow dark. I go close to him and run my hand up and down his chest. He growls in warning, I just smirk at him. I go close to his face, real close. Then........I kiss his cheek and run from him while laughing.

He groans loudly, and runs after me. This is how we spend a few hours together. Chasing and playing with his hounds.

I think he is not that bad. But, I need to remember I can't fall for him. Me falling for him will not be good. I can't let him win. I won't let him win. 

During the whole day Damien and I went to many places around the kingdom. Hell is truly magnificent. There were so many mythical creatures that I thought only exist in books and movies. I saw so many demons do magic in the hell fair today. 

It was time to go back to the castle, so we sat in the car and we're returning back. I was really tired. Suddenly, the car stopped near a huge. I looked around and saw a dark dense forest in front of us.

I looked and Damien in confusion, because I thought we were going back to the castle. Seeing my confused face Damien said,

"I want to show you something."

"Um..ok?", I said. 

He took my hand and led me to the dense forest. I didn't like the vibes I was getting from the place so I moved closer to Damien. Sensing my discomfort, Damien wrapped an arm around me.

"This is the dark forest. There are some creatures that are too evil for the world reside here. I want you to stay by my side. They won't harm you until your by my side. Ok?", he says.

I nod at him. We walk through the forest, and my fear still does not settle. Damien looks at me again and sighs. Suddenly, his back creates this weird cracking sound and wings appear. His massive wings curl around me, in a protective manner and pull me whole body close to him.

All my fears wash away and warmth floods my body, his wings still curled around my body. We start walking and reach a huge cave. It is covered with wines. 

With a snap of his fingers , all the wines move to the side.

We walk inside and the wines go back to covering the cave. Damien's wings go back. I look around and see the most beautiful lake ever.

It glows and it's water looks so clean. The sight is astonishing.

"What is this place?", I ask Damien while tilting my head to the side.

Damien looks at the lake before looking at me and says, 

"This is lake retinentia."
