21 Chapter 21: (1/2)
〰 Khole 〰
”You- You rejected him?!” Agalana screeches once I sat down on the bed and stripped off my stained clothing. Thankful to be in my own room even if I was still in the demon world.
”Of course I did. He abandoned me to attempt another woman.” I tell her as if she were the dumbest person alive. My body had ached from the journey back to the castle and Dylan's burning gaze had scorched me alive, but I refused to say another word to him.
He didn't deserve me.
”But he told you he didn't. Don't you believe him?” She questions when I threw off my dirty pajama s.h.i.+rt and tossed it towards her. Going over to the dresser and s.n.a.t.c.hing an oversized s.h.i.+rt. Hopefully, the person who stayed in this room didn't mind me borrowing their s.h.i.+rt.
Though Proximo wouldn't have brought me to this room if they had mind.
”Why are you protecting him? He's been an a.s.shole and now we don't have to deal with him.” I said coldly, throwing a s.h.i.+rt on and realizing it was his. The scent engulfing me and making my heart throb in my throat.
Great...
I didn't want my burning desires to rise but with his scent wrapped around me, I couldn't help myself. I still wanted him so badly, but his betrayal had hurt me.
”Kho... He's your other half. He went to save you and he had reasons, Kho.” Agalana says when watching me closely and throwing my s.h.i.+rt in the corner of the room where a basket was. I narrowed my eyes at her, still, a bright blue from the desire the alcohol brought.
”He may be my other half, but he broke my heart the moment he left me crying at the manor. I apologize but I have not been shown much kindness in my life and will not forgive anyone who has used me just to settle his demon's needs.” I snap at her, regretting it immediately when she sighed and shook her head.
”I can't change your mind, but you weren't that pure tonight either.” She reminds making me spin on my heel and thrust a finger in her chest.
”I had no control over my body!” I scream at her as she raised her hands and walked around me.
”Who says he knows that? Just because you were under the influence doesn't mean you opposed the idea of being with another just as he did.” She points out, only angering me. ”Also. Who says you didn't use him just as he did? Ask yourself if you truly know, Dylan. Or should I say Prince Dareios.” Her words sliced through me before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. My sword burned beside me as I shrieked and threw my sword at the door in fury.
The lightning cras.h.i.+ng outside of the room.
〰 Dylan 〰
These last few days have felt like years.
I never knew what pain was before she came into my life and yet, I could do nothing but watch her spar with her Valkyrie friends. They'd all come once they heard I had saved her from Aita and the kingdom.
Everyone knew who she was and refused to harm her as they did before, but now that she knew the truth about everything. She wanted as far away as she could go.
Thankfully with the Valkyries help, she remained here after some peer pressure that Hrudra and Proximo were mates. The revelation shocking but not surprising since they both were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with s.e.xual tension and caused my castle to rattle underneath their wrath.
It explained his att.i.tude and roar the day we came here.
Though it didn't help my situation, I was happy for Proximo since he'd have a hard life before meeting his cold beast. Not that she grow any other emotion with him around but it was worth a try.
”My prince. The queen has informed me to tell you of her arrival for tonight.” A servant tells me as I turned away from the large window and nodded in understanding. My mother would demand to meet my mate but I felt that their personalities would clash with one another.
This wasn't going to end well.
But maybe it would.
I couldn't predict my little Valkyrie anymore.
Not after she tormented me so badly.
Her scream pierced my thoughts, her back slamming on the ground in front of Hjala who had sent her away with her boot. The servant joined me by my side, watching Khole snarl and jump off the ground as if nothing happened.
Her blade flew through the air, slamming the b.u.t.t of the sword into Hjala's face before das.h.i.+ng for her and kicking her swiftly. Hjala flew through the air, hitting one of the twins and causing them to begin attacking Khole since she disturbed their fight.
My woman shrieked, defending herself while lightning spewed from the skies and hit the ground around her. The three Valkyries going for her at full speed when she summoned her s.h.i.+eld and prevented their attacks.
She was... truly beautiful to watch fight.
”Start a feast. Large enough for more than a hundred people and begin setting up outside once they stop fighting.” I order the servant after watching my Khole take a blow that sent her sprawling to the ground once again.
