Chereads / Mated To The Son Of The Devil / Chapter 10 - THE DARK SHADOW OF ICHABOD

Chapter 10 - THE DARK SHADOW OF ICHABOD

DRAKE POV.

Why did that old man have to visit me. Sometimes, he can get quite annoying. After locking me up in the prison cage, he shows up after two days feigning fatherly love.

How stupid of him to think he loves me.

He doesn't love me. He has never loved me and will never ever love me. Infact, I hate him. I hate him to the core that I was ready to kill him at anytime.

Whatever he was here for, he better spit it out and stop beating around the bush. He should go straight to the point and stop feigning fatherly love.

He sent the two soul demons on guard, out of the room. It seems whatever he wanted to say was something that the two soul demons should not know about.

After sending the two soul demons out, he started by giving a regretful look and it really irritated me. He said a lot of nonsense shit that I didn't even want to pay attention to.

He said a lot, even saying that only if he knew about my intentions of being a monster. I frowned constantly at the bullshits he spat from his mouth. I hate him for those stupid words he had said.

But what he had asked next was all it took for me to feel the fear I had never felt in my entire life.

"What had happened to you at the age of six, son, that had made you to make a decision to kill your heart and become a monster?"

That was the question my dad had asked that made me feel fear.

After he had asked me the question that I couldn't even find myself to answer, I saw him.

Using my dark eyes, I clearly saw a dark shadow. It was resting on the wall and staring wide eyed at me. I felt it grinning at me and throwing me dangerous glares.

It was like I was struck by paralysis. Fear came upon me as I watched the dark shadow that had been plaguing my mind, right from the age of six. For sure, this dark shadow was the answer to the question my old man just asked.

I had met this dark shadow or should I say a tormented soul at the age of six, when I had visited the realm of hell. I had wanted to discover for myself, the kind of torment, souls in hell experienced. This dark shadow that I had met, somehow found a way to get into my mind, plaguing my mind in the most dangerous way I can ever imagine.

This dark Shadow's influence on my mind is the reason why I have been adamant about becoming a monster. It's influence on my mind kept fueling my need to become the heartless monster I had never ever wanted to become.

I couldn't resist it's influence on my mind. Back then,my mind was so weak and I couldn't resist it's influence. Even till now, it's influence on my mind is still solid.

And now,it suddenly appears in the prison cage, right after my dad had asked the question that it was the answer to. How my dad had even gotten to know that something had happened to me at the age of six, that I don't know.

All I know was, the fear that came upon me was something I had never experienced. This dark shadow seemed to be plaguing more fear in me and I had to scream in fear.

It was quite embarrassing if someone had to watch the almighty, ruthless and evil devil's son screaming in fear. Don't you think?

Anyways, my fearful screams increased as the dark shadow slowly approached the cage while still grinning with evil intent.

I moved to the back of the cage while grabbing the bars as my screams increased.

My dad was torn between frustration and confusion. He tried to pacify me but I was far from it. The dark shadow kept approaching and my dad couldn't seem to sense it.

But just as it was about to reach the cage, my dad unknowingly blocked it. The dark shadow stopped grinning and merely vanished into thin air. Before I could get a hold of myself from being scared to death by a tormented soul that has been influencing my mind,a hand touched my forehead and I was embraced by darkness.

My dad had sent me into a deep sleep when he felt that he couldn't calm me down. After my fearful actions and screaming, I couldn't really blame him for sending me to sleep. He must have been really worried that the only option he could come about,was to send me into a deep sleep. For sure, he's going to have a clue that something had happened to me at the age of six.

I just hope he does find out what had happened before whoever that tormented soul is, that is influencing my mind, makes me turn myself into the evil monster that I don't wanna be.

I hate my dad.

SANDRAINO'S POV.

I gave instructions to the two soul demons guarding my son's cage to watch him closely. I left the prison cage, the fearful actions of my son still stuck in my head. His current actions only points out that something had really happened to him at the age of six.

But how in the world did something happen to my son and I didn't know?

And to think that whatever happened to my son, happened right under my nose.

I am suppose to know and see everything that goes on in the Kingdom of darkness. So if something had happened to my son, I should have known. But how come something had happened in my son's life and I didn't even know?

This is really deeper than it seems.

Leaving the prison cage and my son in the care of the two soul demons, I headed for my bedroom. Like always, I decided not to teleport there because I actually wanted to clear my head before going to take a nap.

I would have gone to my throne room to keep watch of the whole kingdom of darkness, but not to lie, I needed to sleep.

I passed through the endless tunnels in the devil's castle. The silent tunnels, laced with castle demon guards were actually a comforting feeling that I felt. Passing the silent tunnels helped me to think carefully.

As I passed through the endless tunnels, each demon that I encountered usually bowed as I walked passed them.

However,it would be a good idea to tell my mate about the confirmed theory. The theory of something that had happened to my son at the age of six. I decided not to reveal to her everything that had transpired, during my visit to our locked up son.

Though,my mate wasn't happy with the fact that her son was locked up. She had tried talking to me about releasing him but for the safety of the kingdom of darkness, that can't be possible.

On second thought, revealing the confirmed theory to her would make her see reason why Drake must be locked up for the time being.

I got to a door that was a lot different from other doors in the devil's castle.

This particular door had flowers, especially roses embedded on it. The door was colourful with the different flowers embedded on it. It was a red beautiful door and it's red colour looked exactly like a rose's red colour. The door was beautifully colourful as expected with awesome designs and it was instinctively designed by my mate.

She hated the black door when she had first arrived at the devil's castle. She even had to magnificently design our room, making it a beautiful sight to behold.

Without knocking on the door, I used dark magic from two of my fingers in getting the door open. Quite easy when you use magic.

Entering into the magnificently designed room by my mate, my eyes caught sight of her by the window in the bedroom.

I walked up to her with careful steps and immediately took her in my arms. My heart beat faster as I felt her warm body on mine. Turning to look at me, she cupped my cheeks in loving way that made me melt in love.

"How are you?"

She asked with a voice that can certainly bring down a mountain.

"I'm fine, whenever I'm with you".

I said earning a chuckle from her.

I took her hand and kissed it passionately. Moving on, I took her lips in mine as we kissed.

We kissed passionately and with ferocity, our tongues fighting for dominance. I separated from her kiss almost immediately and she threw me a glance of confusion.

"What is it?"

She asked with a worried look.

I smiled softly while still holding her in my arms.

"Need to tell you something. Besides, you need to know since you are his mother".

I answered her and she couldn't help but get more confused.

Taking her hand, I led her to the king-sized bed and I sat down. I gestured at her to seat beside me and she did just that. Once she had sat down, she stared at me with anticipation.

I sighed.

"I know the reason why Drake wants to be a heartless monster".

I started with a low voice.

She smiled, suddenly intrigued in whatever I wanted to say.

"Tell me the reason and how did you find out?"

She asked with a serious look replacing the smile.

"I'm sorry if this may break your heart but it seems something had happened to Drake at the age of six. Though, I still don't know what had happened to him at the young age he was at that time".

I spoke quite fast earning a confused look on her face.
