[MATURE AUDIENCES R-18 CONTENT]

*****

Shutting the doors behind him, he began taking slow footsteps towards her, imagining all the dirty and pleasurable things that could happen tonight at their first night on the same bed he had been sleeping alone for years.

She could sense his presence by the faint sound of the footsteps and she took two steps ahead, increasing and distancing herself further from him. She was still looking outside the window hoping she could find an exit out of this kingdom and away from him.

Realizing her reluctance, he began.

"Who knew the wild princess would turn into a timid cat when it would come to the matters including bed?" The mockery in his deep voice reached her ears but she remained unmoved.

Keeping her back to him, she scoffed.

"I'm not scared but disgusted upon the idea of sharing the same room with an animal like you." She hissed, her seething anger was clear in her words.

Deimos walked around and came to stand in front of her blocking the moonlight which highlighted Selene, making her appear like the moon itself. And as he saw her under the moonlight, a dire urge to touch her porcelain skin made him weak and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her marble like face.

But before his hand could make contact with her skin, Selene slapped it away. Her unexpected reaction resulted in an intense craving and he could not help but think about running his hands all over her like he was touch starved.

She was staring into nothingness behind him and he only smiled when he said.

"Your family destroys the life of innocents, slaughter the poor and calls it their pride. And you think we are the animals. Well think again wild princess. Did daddy not tell you about how many innocent children he has killed, how many houses he has burnt, all in the name of pride?" He mocked her, enjoying the sound of her heartbeat spiking up with anger.

"We don't kill the innocents. Our only purpose is to exterminate evil monsters like you from the face of the earth and send them to hell. And trust me you'll rot in hell as well like the others of your kind are." For the first time now she met his eyes and spoke without blinking.

They kept looking into the depth of one another's eyes as if they were having a staring competition and the one who would blink first would be at the mercy of the other.

He laughed evilly and she had an urge to wipe that laugh off his face.

"Of hell you speak! Let me remind you princess—oh! My bad—Let me remind you my Luna!" He emphasized the word 'Luna' to mock her of her greatest failure and closed the distance, bringing his mouth near the shell of her ear. Selene turned her face to the other side, to look away from him but didn't move away as that would only make it look like she was scared of him. She could feel his warm breath on her neck and it disgusted her to the core.

"Hell is empty and all the monsters are here. And starting tonight, I promise I'll make you suffer in ways your evil mind cannot even imagine." And then he stepped back to look at her expression. Her looks could slaughter a dozen of his kind right now and he enjoyed pushing her off the edge more than anything else.

Glaring back at him, with edgy eyes, she spoke, "I'm going prove you all wrong, I promise." The confidence in her voice was a proof of her fearlessness and strength.

"Looks like you've got me all wrong, wild cat. I do very bad things and I do them very well. I can put your whole world on fire and still call it rain." He threatened in a deep voice that seemed to travel deep inside her heart.

She wasn't intimidated by him. For her he was only an animal, and she was supposed to slash him into million pieces by her sword, so that she could bring an end to her misery and achieve the only thing she wished for.

"If you put me through hell, I'll drag you along with me." She confirmed with a promise.

"A hell pact, huh?" He laughed and came closer, "Very well then, I promise to torture and break you, even in hell."
