Chereads / Protective Custody - The Demon King (EDITING) / Chapter 45 - State your business

Chapter 45 - State your business

Of course those weren't the only reasons Adonis thought to himself.

Adonis would have killed that werewolf regardless of if it was the law or not.

Or if she was a witness or not.

Just for the fact that he was in HER room with his DIVK in his hands. Death would have been the only option for him honestly.

"And the serum, is it deadly for the 'all magical creatures', the different types?" Diviya asks wiping off the juices from her delicious sandwich that started a slow run a little beneath the corner of her lips.

Adonis was tempted to lick it off for her, instead he easily distracted himself.

"For each 'magical creature' there are something or the other that's lethal us. For example for the wolfs there is wolf toxin, for vampires there is a wolf's venom.

The venom secreted from a bite mixed in with a flower called mistletoe is what's deadly to vampires."

"And that is what's used to create the serum. A serum suited specifically for the 'kind' being executed."

"Oh, interesting" Diviya says, but wonders what can harm a Faerie. She will bring that up later on, this was personal to her and Adonis was informing her of his plans for today. Then they had the execution next.

Adonis now went on to inform Diviya about the Council- which she already knew of, but what she didn't know is that the council would be here in the next thirteen days.

For the council meeting he always prepares to host twenty three guests and their families he explained.

He always make it a huge thing for them as some would be traveling from a really far distance.

So it's always a big three days and two nights, with lots of events and of course the meetings.

"Ok", Diviya sips on some juice as she sums it up in her mind, ok so they would be staying for three days and there will be a series of events.

Adonis went on to explain "also soon word will spread that my Vampire has awoken and very soon after I will be pressured to make it official and have the crowning."

Since that was always Adonis' excuse. He was not whole yet as his Vampire was asleep presume never to awake.

"Especially now" he had said.

"Why 'especially now'?" Diviya asks curious.

"Because now you are by my side, now I have my true mate."

Now they might say he is even more than whole Adonis thought, so he was prepared for it.

Diviya's eyes went wide, does this mean she will be crowned Queen so soon?

As if reading her anxiety at the situation Adonis quickly informs her that she has time. He knows she is obviously not ready for such a huge responsibility just yet and there is no rush.

But she will have to, eventually. Plus there were a series of courses and exercises she needed to complete in order to be his crown Queen.

Diviya breathes a sigh of relief and whispers "thank you."

"Anything for you little fighter."

Diviya did not ever bother to ask him why he calls her little fighter as she already knew why. She actually love that he calls her that.

It makes her feel like he sees her as a strong person or someone who has the potential to become strong and fierce.

It's a term of endearment to her.

Adonis also informs Diviya that there will also be meetings to discuss the past year and any plans for the future. As well as anything that the people may have requested.

Or anything that a representative might want to bring to the table. Whether it's about taxes or potential laws to implement or amend.

And that they vote on every decision.

Diviya nod in understanding basically getting the gist of everything. So the 'different kind' pay taxes as well and there are the laws.

Not so different from the human functions.

Adonis began to fill Diviya in on the Vampire King.

"This year the Vampire King had hoped that there would be an engagement for this year's ball and I am anticipating some sort of drama with him."

He took an almost aggressive bite out of a piece of bacon as his features shown that he was fully annoyed.

"And I already told you about his never ending efforts to try to tie me to his sister Cathia." He pause and took a piece of sausage in his mouth, the one that he just sliced, finishing up he continues…

"Now with the turn of events, I am just expecting the worse." Adonis sighs.

Eyeing Diviya now Adonis says "ok so the ball, there will be a ball thrown, all the members and a few invited guests will be there."

Taking a deep breath he says "and I would like to introduce you to my people officially at the ball."

Adonis thought that he should more than wrap up a few things by then to be ready to introduce her at the ball and get prepared for what might follow.

Diviya was listening intently while she ate, then she stops chewing a piece of toast with eggs.

Silence…..

Then after a quiet moment Diviya starts back chewing slowly as thoughts bounce around in her head.

She did not say anything for a long moment. Diviya just stares at her plate, was she ready for that? A week and a few days? To be introduced to everyone? As HIS mate?

"Ok, you don't have to answer now, please think on it." Adonis voice held a hint of sadness at the fact that she wasn't leaping at the opportunity to be called his mate and that bothered him.

More than he expected. He quickly mask the disappointment.

Women would give a limb for an opportunity to be with him let alone to be claimed by him. He couldn't understand it.

But again he reminded himself it was at her pace.

It's just he really wasn't expecting that response. He does hope she comes around but if she doesn't he would respect that.

Diviya was so relieved she had time to think on this to see how she really feels about it. Really having the time to sit with it.

Hell she just wanted him to shove his finger in her not too long ago and she hurt someone pretty bad for him.

But was she ready for everything that comes with being the mate of someone like HIM?

Someone so accomplished like him someone so powerful, someone so god like.

She was already feeling less than.

Plus she imagines running a castle is a lot and at this point, right now, she can't even begin to wrap her head around it.

She knew she could, she was studying management after all.

But Diviya simply was not ready, she needed time plus she was still learning.

She had a lot to learn before that happens so she certainly does not want to rush. Then for crying out loud she just got here two days ago.

All this was new, she thought she was coming here just for protection and after hearing all that Michael had to say in the car ride here she imagined things going a lot differently than what is happening right now.

It was a bit much for Diviya. And she willfully blocks out the thought of being Queen and the responsibilities that comes with it.

Adonis then clears his throat and wipes his mouth then says "I am going to call Agent Ward now to check in on progress."

He was trying to distract himself from the fact that Diviya was not jumping up and down with the idea of him claiming her.

He then pulls out the call card, and his phone, then he made the call.

Agent Ward picks up on the third ring. "Agent Ward speaking."

"Agent Ward, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Adonis says, he was sitting back comfortably in his chair.

His back resting on the chair back. Feet slightly apart. A hand resting on the hand of the chair comfortably.

"State your business." Agent Ward is always weary of strange numbers. 99% of the times is never something good.

Either some punk thinks he can be bribed, or someone trying to weasel information out of him.

Just something or the other and he was so fed up of them and he had no time for games.

Especially not right now!

Agent Ward has been trying to contact Diviya the pass couple hours and was now panicking. He was looking for said phone to call Carlton at the time.

So in this particular moment for Agent Ward, it was either get to the point or get off the phone and don't waste his precious time.

Adonis quickly introduced himself and stated his business and that he is at his disposal for anything Agent Ward needs in this case because he wants to do every thing he can to find these culprits and bring them to justice.

Silence...
