Heaven Alizah Dianne's pov :
As l was about to turn to the hallway that led to my room, l saw the elder/mole coming towards me. Looking at him up close, you'll think he is a kind but quiet person. I bet no one would have thought someone like him is sinister and evil.
He halted in front of me and bowed slightly. "Greetings my queen"
"Greetings elder" l nodded.
"Is there something wrong?, Your highness looks troubled"
"Nothing is wrong. I'm alright elder. Thank you for your concern" l smiled.
"Alright then. But please know that if there is anything wrong, we elders are ways here to share your problems" he said in a calm and gentle tone. Looks can really be receiving.
"Thank you so much elder" l smiled.
"I'll take my leave now. Good night your highness" he said. He planted a soft kiss on the back of my hand before leaving. Even though l didn't look back, l could tell that he looked back at me dangerously. Without looking back, l went to my room.
I stopped when l got to the door and stayed there for about two minutes, before l entered. And as expected, he was there waiting for me. Even though it was dark, l could still see him. we demons naturally have night vision, so we can see clearly in the dark. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at me like he wants to prey on me. Or maybe he does.
"Where were you?" . I shivered slightly at his thick and deep voice. I can't believe he has that kind of effect on me. "I was just roaming around the palace" l said simply.
"It's past midnight Alizah" he said emphatically.
"I know. I wasn't sleepy at all before so l decided to roam around until l was" I said. He stared at me and nodded.
"What are you doing in my room?" I asked. He smirked and looked at where l put my belongings. I was shocked when l saw nothing there. I turned on the light and checked the whole room, but my belongings were nowhere to be found. It then occured to me that he had them packed.
I stood in front of him and asked "where are my belongings?".
He smirked wider and stood in front of me. "In my room". He said seductively.
"Why?" I yelled.
"Don't you know? You are the queen now and the queen shares a bed with the king" he said smugly. I wish l could slap that smug off his face but l can't.
"But this lady here is not the queen" l retorted.
I saw pain flash through his eyes, but only for a second. He is really good at hiding his true emotions. He moved closer and l took a step back. But he didn't stop until my back hit the wall. He leaned into my ears and whispered, "she is when l say she is. Or have you forgotten our deal"
"Why do l feel like you planning on keeping me here until l die even after you've find your mate". Well, the way he looks at me recently proves it. He stared at me for a while before speaking again, "l never go back on my word". Yeah right.
"I hope" l said. "And there's no way l'm leaving this room".
He chuckled, "are you afraid that l'll strip you naked one night. Don't worry l won't do that without your consent".
Why does he have to say that. I pushed him off me. "l am so not leaving this room" l said seriously.
"You don't trust me" it sounded more like a statement than a question. He sighed deeply. "I admit, l really want you to be mine even though this is just a contract. I really wish you were my mate Alizah. MY queen. But l won't do anything to you without your consent, l promise" he said calmly and gently. You can't even if you want.
Is there something wrong with him today? Why is he acting like this?.
"Stop acting like that" l said.
"I'm not acting. I meant every word l said" he sounded sincere but l still don't believe him. "Don't worry if you want to sleep in your room you can. You can sleep here whenever you want. No one will stop you. But just remember that your main room is my room" he said calmly. I just nodded because he's getting me confused. He's been kinda clingy nowadays . I think l should leave.
Before l could leave, he pulled me closer to him. So l gave him a questioning look. "Don't leave. Stay" he said calmly. What l'm l even running from ? Didn't l already agree to this ?. He can't do anything to me even he wants to anyway.
"Fine. I'll stay but in my room" . He nodded. I wanted to move but he held me tighter.
"Eugene, what now?" I half yelled.
He stared at me with shock. "What did you just call me?"
Oh no, l don't want trouble now. "Call me that again" he said. That caught me off guard. I thought he'd be mad that l call him by his name. No one calls the king by his name except those he allows to.
"Eugene. Is there something wrong?" I stared into his eyes but l can't see any trace of anger.
"No, call me that from now on?" He said. What! . "Uhm, okay".
I freed myself from his grip and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Luckiliy they didn't pack the clothes in mini wardrobe inside it. I wore an over sized shirt and a short.
When l got out, he had already take his place on the right side of the bed. This is gonna be a long night.
He tapped on the space beside him, meaning that l should come near him. I was so tired too. So my body found it's way beside him and laid there. This is gonna be my fisrst time in bed with a man besides my brothers. Speaking of them, l wonder how they are doing.
