19 19. F*cking Hell (1/2)

Shani's POV

”Ranulf, we should start our discussion...Shani we will continue this later. Sabina and Muriel will show you to our chamber.” Arkael said.

I was about to object when Ranulf told me, that I could check on Rain.

”He's currently resting in my chamber. But we won't be needing both of you for the time being, we will try and settle this without putting both of you in danger.” He said casually.

”It should be a simple task, I had identified the so called beast. I will let Rain deal with the demon, after we capture and secure him in our dungeon.” He said pointing to Arkael and himself.

I was about to object again, knowing that Arkael was in his human form, when Ranulf continue on his words.

Damn he can surely ready mind.

”We have our own demon sorcerers, Arkael will be equip for the confrontation. I will take care of your mate Shani, as you will take care of my Rain for me. You will have all the ingredients that you'll need, just tell the nymphs and they will get it for you.” He look at Sabina and Muriel as he mentioned the word nymphs.

I nodded knowing I would do better job at taking care of Rain. I was still confused about the King's attention towards my dear friend Rain, but I was not going to questioned him for the time being.

Muriel and Sabina both ushered me to the King's chamber, after Arkael kissed me one last time assuring me that everything would be just fine. And the sooner he get it over with, the sooner we would be going back above ground and go back home.

”He really loves you my queen, he's truly smitten by you. In the hundreds year I've known him that was the first time, I saw him with so much affection.” Sabina said as she ushered me outside the main hall. She was taking me by surprise, when she called me her queen.

”And the same was shown from our King Ranulf, to your werewolf friend. Which is actually best for him, he had been very down lately and none had succeed in cheering him up.” Muriel casually said as she walked on my other side.

Their closeness and their openness, made me feel embarrassed for being jealous at them moments before. Maybe this was their thing, cause they surely respected me although their sexual advances still made me cringe. But I try to hold my feelings down, and try not to get too overwhelmed.

”My queen, this is King Ranulf's chamber...” Muriel slid her tail to the door handle and clicked it open, while her hands push the large intricate carved brass door.

Sabina pulled a chair for me to sit, beside the very large bed.

”Please my queen.”

”Sabina you don't have to, I could perfectly pull a chair for myself. But thank you.” I thanked her, but soon was silent when I look at Rain.

He looked really pale, all the preparation, the summoning of the portal and the force field must've drained his energy.

”Could you get him cooked meat, any red meat preferably half grilled. The more bloody the better, and ehm...I don't know if you have any wine or alcohol down here. If not I could...”

”We will get everything that master Rain needs. Give us a little time.” Both said at the same time. Again it surprised me a little, but I try to smile at them and thanked them again.

They leave me alone with Rain, as they go about getting what I asked for him.

They were back moments later, with everything. I was a bit shocked that they knew exactly that I wanted a very large steak for him. I was still questioning how they get exactly what I had in mind, when Rain opened his eyes and looked at me.

”Hey there...how are you feeling?” I asked caressing his hair.

”Where am I?” He asked, trying to sit up and rest his back on the intricate designed headboard.

”Well...apparently you're in King Ranulf's bed.” I winked at him playfully, he blushed instantly at the realization and tried to get up.

”Hey it's okay, he put you here himself. We don't want to appear rude, and you're helping him. Just think of it as his gesture for thanking you.”
