Chapter 7

Selene pov

"Who the hell are you" I stepped back a little but instantly regretted this action because it only gave him the impression that I was scared

"Let's say that I'm supernatural's sent, I know that you're not comfortable here and Devon is keeping you here against your wish" He paused letting out a long sigh before taking a few steps closer to me 

"You haven't answered me, I don't believe in any supernatural being, but the moon goddess so why would anyone that I don't believe in send a savior to me?" I inquired with a small frown on my face. I'm not a fool to believe what this undeniably handsome gentleman was saying.

"Gentle?" I scoffed at the thought of it, A gentleman wouldn't suddenly appear in a lady's room

"I see, well, you're being watched and I must say that you're lucky to have me want to help you escape from the devil." He continued "Usually, people are thrilled to see a prince of the underworld appear before them."

"You're a prince of the underworld? You're the same as Devon?" I stuttered, I couldn't comprehend what he was saying though he made one thing clear and that's the fact that he came to help me

"You ask too many questions and I hate questions, but I don't blame a werewolf in another kingdom for being curious. But you know what they say right?" He asked and brought his hands up to my face, as he leaned closer to me, the scent of his clothes and hair was intoxicating, it was a spell luring me to scent him even more but I tried to gain my composure and act like an Alpha that I am.

"You love my scent!" He said.

"Werewolves and their ability to scent things' ' He scoffed, causing me to arch my eyebrow questioning.

"Do you have a problem with our ability?" I sparked. 

"What did I expect? For you to be different? No, you're totally the same as the other demons and you come here appearing in this room like you're some angel that the moon goddess sent to send me free" I blurted at once. 

He grinned and moved away from me to the full-length mirror in the room. "I won't tell you that I'm different neither will I tell you that I'm alike but I want you to know that this kind of opportunity comes once in a lifetime, especially from me." 

He continued and picked up the comb on the vanity and combed his long dark hair backward letting it fall above his shoulders. Staring at him from behind, he looked like Devon but the aura around them was different. 

I scoffed and said, "I don't believe you, you're just like everyone else and you demons always want something in return, something so precious to the other party of any agreement that you want to make"

"Sadly, I don't want anything from you, I'll give you some time to think about it and I'll come back tomorrow," He said while dropping the comb back on the vanity, and before I could say a word, he vanished 

"I didn't get a chance to ask him his name," I uttered. 

Knock! 

Knock!

The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, causing me to sit properly on the bed. "Come in," I answered, clutching the bedsheet. The door of the room creaked open and the two servants walked into the room just as Devon had said.

"This is your meal madam," A dirty blonde hair girl said, "Okay, you can leave it on the table next to the couch." I uttered pointing at the right side of the room where the couch was

"Okay ma," They said in unison and took the food to the table before walking towards me, I arched my eyebrow questioning, "What the hell are you both still doing here?"

"Master Devon asked us to make sure that you eat the food that we brought you," said the other maid who accompanied her blonde friend.

I rolled my eyes.

 "I'll eat the food, you don't have to stand here and watch me." I was already feeling uncomfortable with their presence

"I'm sorry ma'am, but we are following orders," The blonde hair maiden insisted stubbornly.

"What orders?"

"Huh?"

"Am I a prisoner? Why the hell will Devon ask you to watch me as I eat? Argh!" I roared in anger, my wolf couldn't stand this treatment, he called me his mate but he treated me like a prisoner, which mate treats his mate like this?

 I narrowed my eyes and walked towards the table where my food was placed, I'll have to listen to his orders for now. Even if I have to dine with the devil just to leave this place then I will. 

Oh

Wait! He's the devil.

I sat on the couch and stared at the steak and baked french fries. I took a bite from the steak and curved my lips as I chewed the food in anger. I don't care what that guy that calls himself angel sent to me wants, but I'll agree to let him help me.

Recon's pov

The dim red light in my room gave me a sense of satisfaction because I was sure that Selene would agree to let me help her. She was smarter than I thought. 

I chuckled as I remembered her words, "I don't believe you, you're just like everyone else and you demons always want something in return, something so precious to the other party of any agreement that you want to make." She was smart to know that nothing comes free in this world that I'm doing this because I'm getting something better in return but not from her.

I smirked as I took off my cloak and sat on the chair in my room. I poured myself a glass of Barolo and sipped from it reminiscing my time with Venia yesterday

I want to make her mine but instead of ruling with me, she chose to wait for my brother who didn't give a damn about her. Devon always got everything, everything that I wanted leaving me the remains of it.
