Ch. 10

SELENE

I walked down the hall towards the big dining hall with Rita and Mary trailing behind me. 

The guard opened the big door in front of me and I walked through it to the dining hall.

"It took you long enough," Devon said and stood as he saw me walk into the hall

"I don't want to be here, just know it." I abruptly said and sat next to him at the dining table. In front of me were different varieties of food but I only chose to eat the grilled chicken and tomato salad.

"Seat and eat" Devon spoke ignoring my words. I dug into the food ignoring his presence in the room. 

Devon watched me keenly as I ate and I felt disgusted. After eating, Devon clapped his hands together and stood to his feet. 

"I'd love to introduce you to a few of my friends, come with me!" Devon said

"No, I'm not coming anywhere with you, Are you deaf or is it that you don't understand what I'm saying?" I heard the maid gasp and I knew that I was on the right track to making Devon hate me. I didn't flinch nor did I show any sign of remorse

"I didn't ask you a question, I said come with me!" Devon uttered ignoring the rest of my words. I had all the energy to insult him and I was ready to patiently wait for a response from him.

I clutched my teeth and formed my hand into a fist as I stood up from the chair and followed him out of the dining. We walked down the hallway and stood in front of a big door. The guard opened the door for us to walk into the room. 

As I stepped my feet into the room, my eyes scanned fell on a crowd, There was no doubt that each man sitting there was rich because they were all members of his court

"Come with me!" Devon took my hands and dragged me towards his golden thrown.

"No!" I yelled causing everyone in the room to shift their attention to us

"What do you mean no? Do I have to remind you that I don't ask questions," He paused and tightened his grip on my hand "I give orders" He clutched his teeth and I smirked inwardly. I was finally getting a reaction from him.

"And I'm not a puppet to listen to all your commands, okay? I'm not going to sit anywhere with a demon like you" I yelled causing the whole crowd to gasp, the reason wasn't because I called him a demon but because no one had ever disobeyed Devon before. 

A dry laugh escaped his lips and let go of my hand, I was sure that he was angry and only the moon goddess could save me this time but I chose to be fearless, I've been in situations worse than this before.

"How dare you disobey me" Devon roared

"Let me go, let me go back home, get me free, and stop keeping me here, haven't I begged you enough? I despise you and I hate a blood-sucking demon like you," I uttered and pushed him but he wasn't affected by a small push

"You're mine, and I'll keep you with me forever, you're not going anywhere, and don't think that I'll let you go for any reason, you're mine!!!" He yelled back claiming me in front of everyone present in the room.

"You're wrong, you're a fucking liar, I hate you and you're only a monster who derives joy from enslaving people," I said and spat on him and I instantly caused chaos in the room

The whispers of the court members reached my ear. "Who the hell does she think she is? Just wait and see what Master Devon will do to her now" 

"She's just a slut that thinks she's worth something and women will these are only to warm our beds, if I were in Master Devon's shoes, then I'd fuck her until she screams my name, dirty filthy sluts" I clutched my teeth and spun in search of the unfortunately human that just said those words. I scoffed. 

I turned to face Devon, he clutched his fingers into a fist and I inwardly smirked after realizing that I had successfully made him angry and before I could utter another word, Devon vanished. 

DEVON

In my dark room, I paced and tried to calm myself, no one had ever dared to insult me talkless or spit on me. That was such a disgrace to my ego.

I hit my hand on the wall and tried to steady my breath. The knock on my door interrupted my thoughts and the scent of Vanilla mixed with coconut hit my nostrils, "Vania!" I uttered realizing who knocked on my door. She kept knocking and ignored her

"I know you're in there Master Devon, open the door for me please." She said. When she said that she'd come to see me soon, I didn't expect it to be this soon.

"I want to be alone, Vania" I spoke and walked towards the bar counter and poured myself a shot of Vodka

I gulped it down my throat as her words reached my ear, "I can calm you down, i know the girl you called your mate is the reason for your sour mood" I narrowed my eyes and snapped my finger causing the door to open. 

"Devon!" Vania said as she gingerly approached me. The sound of her heel hit the marble tiles in a rhyming order.

"I didn't expect to see you this soon," I said with the bottle of vodka in my right hand as I strolled to the couch in the room.

"Dark as always," Vania said as she strolled towards the couch. The door shot open and I relaxed my back on the couch as I poured myself another drink

"I know a way that can help you handle Selene," Vania's words caught my attention.
