"Alizah" he called but l didn't respond and pretend to be fast asleep. "Alizah, l know you are still awake"
I sighed and turned to face him. "What is it?".
But instead of replying, he just stared at me. "What?" I asked again after a while.
"Be honest, why did you accept the contract?" He asked. I know what he's thinking. He thinks l accepted the contract because l want to be the queen, just any other girl or like Samantha. Well l don't even need him to become a queen because l'm already twice the queen he'll ever make me, even more. But l chose not to show it.
"Because you are the only one who can break the curse. I want to know how it feels like to have a mate and experience the joy and happiness of having one. I had no hope of breaking the curse at first but if there is a chance to get it off me, l'll take it" l explained.
"If that's the reason, then why did you said those things in the car?" he asked.
"Honestly, l was just thinking out loud. I've already thought it through. Maybe she's dead, maybe she's alive. Who knows?". He chuckled lightly.
"You still act and look the same" and that caught my attention. "Maybe Lucas was right. You are different from other girls. Perhaps, Keeping you isn't such a bad idea after all" he said as he touched my cheeks with the back of his hand. Of course l'm different from other girls, l wanted to say but stopped myself.
We were in that position until l fell asleep. Later, l felt something on my lips. He's kissing me!. His hand went to the back of my head and he deepened the kiss. I almost gave in but luckily, he pulled away. He planted a kiss on forehead before sleeping with his hand on my back.
He said earlier, that maybe keeping me isn't a bad idea. Did Lucas suggest that he should keep me and forget about his mate?. Well, we'll see how it goes.
Eugene's pov:
I don't how someone could be so beautiful. We demons are naturally beautiful in our human form, but her beauty is on another level. If l hadn't promised her, l'd take her right now.
Strange, she's the only one l can't read her mind. After the fight, l asked Lucas about it, but he doesn't know why either. At first, l thought it was because of what he did, but it seems Alizah has a way of blocking me off. Another thing l don't like about her. That's not even supposed to be possible. She is definitely hiding something. And l'm going to find out what.
Lucas somehow managed to fool the seers, so they wouldn't find out about the contract. But there is still no trace of my mate. The seers have trying to track her for years to no avail. So Lucas made a theory, that my mate is dead and that's why l haven't found her. That's not the first time l've heard it anyway. But that's the first time he said that . He suggested that l observe Alizah for a while, propably for a year. If after a year l still don't think she is worthy enough, then we'll find another. But l don't want that. It's not that l don't think she's worthy. It's just that l'm used to being feared and l like it that way. But Alizah she's different, she's the only woman (besides my mother and sister) that does not have any fear for me. She speaks to me with such boldness, the kind not even Lucas can exhibit when speaking to me most of the time. And that, I like and don't like at the same time.
Well, let's see how long we'll be together.

Days passed, today is the coronation. Ever since that night, Eugene has been clingy. I really don't know if it's the effect of what Lucas did. And l haven't got the chance to ask him because, l've been so busy recently. Angela and Evelyn took me out for food testing, we went to different designers shop before finally picking an expensive simple dress for me. It's a backless maroon gown, with a high slit. The gown has some golden chains holding it's back together. And some gold coloured flower design on it. We also visit the event planner and choose the colour of the theme of the hall. We chose red and gold to march my dress.
I opened my windows, and stayed there to get some fresh air. Maids are all ready to dress me up. "My queen, it's time. You should start getting ready" said Nora. I turned to them, "let's begin".
After two hours, we are done. I stand in front of the dressing mirror and looked at myself. I can't help but think that God really spend a great time creating me. My long red hair was dressed beautifully with golden hair pins. It was styled into loose curls. They only did a little make up, which l still think it's not necessary. My dress fitted my body perfectly, accentuating my curves.
I was still admiring my picture when Angel and Stephenie came in. When they saw me, they halted in their tracks and gaped. Angel finally moved and stood near me. "Heaven you look.. you look.."
"Drop dead gorgeous, baby" Stephenie completed.
"Brother's brain will burst if he sees you" Angel said.
"Everyone's brains will burst if you enter that hall" Stephenie exclaimed.
