Helion’s POV
I could catch her scent before stepping into the room. She smelt like petals and roses dipped in wine. The scent that drives me insane. Her scent was so strong I could feel the monster itching for control. I looked at all the girls one by one but they were not her, I was beginning to get infuriated when my eyes landed on her.
That scent. It grew stronger now she was inches away from me. A human should not have this kind of scent. What exactly is she? I walked over and stood right in front of her, grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at me, I was met with the most beautiful crystal blue eyes in the world.
Those eyes felt familiar but I cannot recall ever meeting this woman. My gaze lingered longer as I took in her appearance—Long jet black hair, red supple lips, an oval shaped face, full beautiful breasts, and massive curves.
It really is her.
“It is you!” I growled as I held on to her chin, she blinked repeatedly.
“Why did you run away last night?” I demanded.
“I was supposed to stay and let you rip me to shreds? She responded with a question.
Hmm. Fiesty. This is the first time anyone has talked back at me in years.
“Amelia, do not speak to the king in that manner!” Adeline reprimanded her but I waved my hand signaling her to be quiet.
“So, your name is Amelia, beautiful name” she rolled her eyes and scoffed.
“Come with me“ I released her chin and grabbed her wrist, my fingers digging into her skin.
“Hey! let go, you are hurting me!” She yelled but I paid no attention to her and just pulled her along untill I was back in my chambers, I released her and shut the door.
“You hurt people for a living, don’t you?” She said.
I laughed, a low chuckle, “that is what I do best” I responded and she scoffed, again.
“What do you want?” She asked
“You are not afraid of me?”
“Why should I be?”
I clicked my tongue as I stared at her, “Tsk tsk. You should be, Amelia. I’d advise you tread with caution, you have no idea what I am capable of”
“Yeah, I’ve heard a lot about you, the least you can do is kill me but I won’t let you” she responded.
I stared at her, my eyes swept down to her chest, the red gown she wore held her breasts firmly, her silky white skin just made everything worse…
“Why did you bring me here?”
“I have a proposal for you, a contract“ I said and she snapped her head up, raising an eyebrow.
“What contract?”
“You are my cure, I want you to be stay with me until you have successfully cured my curse completely, then you will have your freedom “ I said and she laughed.
“What? Are you insane? You intend to keep me here to be your blood bag, sex toy and your curse breaker?! she shrieked.
“Exactly my point “ I said to her
“You are crazy! No, I refuse!” She said and it clicked something within me. One thing I hate is dislike is refusal. I waved my hand and her feet was off the ground as i choked her midair with my powers,
“Do you know what happens to anyone who says no to me? They die. Do not think because you can break my curse then I cannot kill you. Do not test my patience, Amelia “ I flinged her, she landed on the wall and crashed down ,gasping for air.
“I… I still refuse, you can’t force me into anything!” She shot back looking me straight in the eye.
“Seven days, Amelia. I am giving you seven days. If you still do not accept, I will kill the girls you came here with. Then I’ll massacre your clan, everyone. Afterwards, I’ll force you to stay. I am giving you a choice now so, choose wisely.
“You…”
“Get out!” I cut her off before she could say anything else, she shot me a glare and left without saying another word.
I released the breath I’d been holding in. The monster within, he wanted her sprawled out on the bed, stark naked, my cock buried deep inside of her, but I knew what the outcome would be.
* * * *
I touched my neck, that invincible grip was so strong, he almost killed me without even touching me, he’s that powerful.
That jerk! How dare him threaten me with the lives of others? No one has ever cared whether I live or die since I was a child so he can do whatever he likes.
I walked through the hallway, heading back to the quarters when I suddenly met the lady in red.
“Amelia” she called and smiled at me, she actually smiled! That’s a first.
“You won’t be staying in the quarters anymore. Come, let me take you to your chambers “
“What do you mean chambers?” I asked and she sighed.
“I know this is hard for you to accept, but you have to accept it. Don’t test the king’s patience. you have no idea how dangerous he is” she said .
“Come with me, please“ she smiled. I had no choice but to follow behind her, we got to a door, she opened it and we walked in.
I was Awed by sight before me. A queen sized bed with several bedsheets, a walk in closet, a big and beautiful chandelier hung in the middle, a huge mirror, I could see my entire self on it. It was really beautiful.
"I can’t stay here “
“Why? She asked.
“I just cannot stay here, I don’t want to“ I said to her.
“You know the lives of a lot of people are in your hands now. He said he will kill them, and he will. Don’t test him, Amelia”
I was surprised, how did she know?
“He told you that?” I asked and she smiled,
“He’s briefed me, Amelia “ she responded.
He can’t keep me here, this is no different from a prison.
“I don’t accept this, I won’t accept this!” I shook my head vigorously as I recalled the look on that jerk’s face.
