The Demon King

CHAPTER 19

Rose's POV

When we reached the dining room everyone was seated. Carol sat next to Ethan and was conversing well with him. Blake and Tyler were lost in each others eye. Zeke was not present.

I took a seat next to carol, but as I was going to sit down, something happened. My hand became exceptionally cold. I ignored it and sat down but the coldness just kept increasing. I held the arm if the chair as I felt really uncomfortable.

"Rose, why are your cheeks so red? Or are some other cheeks too?", Tyler teased and I fumed.

"How do y- I mean excuse me?", At this everyone laughed.

"Guys, I wanna announce something. ", Blake said when we all had filled our plate with mouth watering food.

"Tyler and I are officially dating.", As soon as he said that damein groaned.

We looked at him confused.

"You guys are dating already and here I am making deals with my mate just to let her stay with me. This is not fair I waited 400 years just for this." , He growled stood up and left.

I felt extremely guilty.

Tyler and Blake were just staring at the spot he previously.

Carol pulled my arm and made me look at her.

"Look I know I said I want to get the heck out a here and believe me I do. I don't want to stay here a second, but looking at that man over that made me realize we were being selfish. He just wants his mate. You. In their world mates is the most important thing from what I have been told, and you are only thinking about yourself. Imagine waiting for that one person for 4 centuries to only get some human who doesn't want anything to with them. That must hurt. I am not saying you have to do this but at least put some effort and understand him. Get to know him maybe you might end up like Tyler and Blake.", She says.

I realize I was being selfish all the time I was thinking about myself and not how this must affect him.

I nod at her and get up and go try to find damein.

I find him in some room which is mostly empty except some couches and a few painting on the walls. He is hunched over and his shoulders are shaking.

Oh my god! He is crying.

I run to him and hug his gigantic form.

He wraps his arms around me and holds me close.

"I am sorry. I didn't know I was being selfish.", I say.

In reply I get nothing but sobs that takes through his body.

"It hurts rose. It hurts to see everyone having mates and here I have to make beg my mate to just stay with me. It hurts every time I see you and I can't hold you in my arms. It's been over a 2 weeks and I can't even look at you without seeing the hate in your eyes. I know I shouldn't have taken you but I will go insane if I don't have you in front of my eyes. ", I keep quiet as the guilt eats me up.

Here I thought he was a bad person but he was the one suffering and not me. I was thinking I am the victim while he was hurting silently. I can't imagine having the person that means the world to you hate you. I don't hate him. I can't see him hurt, I will die before I see him hurt...I like him. Oh my god! I like him. How did I not realize.

"I am sorry but I can do something that will probably cheer you up.", I say.

He looks at me with his red puffy eyes and I hold cup his cheeks and softly press my lips to his.  The sparks fly between us. This is my first and most amazing kiss ever.

His lips mold perfectly with mine and the softness of them makes me want to kiss him till I can't breathe.

I pull away slowly after a while when all the air in my lungs vanish.

"I can't promise you anything, but what I can is that I like you so much and will try my best to give you a chance. But, you have let me visit my family. Only then will I promise to stay by your side."

"Thank you so much for giving me this chance and I promise to let you meet your family whenever you like."
