Chapter 108

~ Damen (POV) ~

“What are we going to do about Ermic?” I looked at Logan as he came to me and asked. Ermic is becoming really troubled with Logan hiding his mate. I don’t understand why the fuck he wants to know Logan’s woman and it just simply disgusting. He has so many women around him but he’s trying to get Logan’s woman.

“He’s searching for her right?” I asked him. Then letting out a deep sigh, Logan sat on the chair next to me and nodded at me. Looking at his face, I could tell that he was in a mess with everything. With Karina being his mate, things become complicated. She’s the acknowledged queen in this kingdom so everything needs to be so careful.

“I don't understand why the hell he wants my woman? Doesn’t he have a mate?” Logan groaned and asked me with an annoying expression. Ermic was never a simple man and he never got satisfied with anything. He just simply wanted the best thing. I fucking regret sending him to see Asteria.

“Remember the girl who was here when we first met Ermic in his room?” I asked Logan, remembering the girl who he was with the first time he met Ermic. She was gorgeous and delicate. Seeing her, I remembered nothing but Asteria’s innocent face when I first saw her after finding that she was my mate.

“The girl with black hair?” Logan asked me with a curious tone. I nodded at him and sighed before talking.

“She’s his mate but I found that he had killed her. I don’t know the reason behind them but he had killed his own mate. I can’t even think about it, Logan. Urgh... I can’t believe the fact that he killed that innocent woman” I said truly. After finding out that he had killed her, I really felt so bad. I have killed women too but that’s not my mate.

Someone killing their own mate means that it was just a fucking unbelievable thing. It was just simply beyond the imagination of the rejection. Rejecting was way too better than killing. I sighed and rubbed my forehead without thinking anymore.

“He killed her? What the hell? How?” Hearing Logan’s shocked voice, I looked at him. I also don’t know why the hell he killed that girl for nothing. Looking at him, I shrugged my shoulders and sighed before getting up from the chair.

“Who knows! Maybe because he wasn’t satisfied with her” I said. Then Logan clenched his jaws and got up from the chair. Moving closer to me, he waited for a while before telling me something that I didn’t expect.

“Killing him would be the best solution for us. I’m telling this not because he was annoying to me personally but when the queen came here, I don’t know what will happen with him like that. He wants nothing but women'' I should agree with him, he was really correct. Killing Ermic would be the best thing but I can’t do it yet.

“We can’t do it yet Logan, we need to be patient for a while because he still has so many secrets with him that we still don’t know” I said as Logan nodded at me and let out a deep and complicated sigh. Then as we walked out of the study room, I saw Karina who was standing in front of the window looking outside.

“I’ll talk to you later” knowing that she was waiting for Logan, I looked at him and said before walking away. As I walked into my room, suddenly, my heart started to hurt. I felt someone was stabbing my heart without mercy.

“Fuck!” I cursed and clutched my shirt tightly wanting to endure the pain but I failed to do it. But I didn’t let myself fall down. I just simply forced myself back and dragged towards the bed as I sat on it. The pain slowly increased making my heart go numb. Not knowing what to do, I laid on the bed and sighed.

Soon, I felt something dripping down through my nose. Placing my hand, I touched the wet liquid and then looked. My heart tightened, seeing it was blood. Why the hell is this happening like this? Am I going to fucking die? I asked myself to wipe the blood from my face. After a while, the pain faded. I got up from the bed and walked into the washroom as I looked at myself through the mirror.

My heart turned cold seeing my eyes. They had become black again. So the demon was acting up again. What does he even need this time? I have told him that I’m not giving him women anymore. Looking at myself through the mirror, I saw my lips slowly curling upwards to a smirk. It was not me and that’s it!

“You really wanna die Damen? Give her to me and you’ll have a good life” he muttered as the smirk on his face widened. Give her to him? Asteria? Fucking no way, if I gave my woman to him, how the hell am I going to live good life?

“You know my answer! I’m not giving her and how can I have a good life when she’s not there with me?” I asked him seriously, then he shook his head and chuckled. This fucking demon is just a fucking disgusting thing.

“We are living because of her soul Damen. Once she dies, we will become so weak. I don’t want that thing to happen, I want us to be strong. So the only thing I could do for yourself is take the other half of her soul.”

“You can have any woman you need in the future. So just don’t be obsessed with her” my heart tightened hearing him. Is he asking me to give her to him because he wants the other half of her soul?

“Half is enough! She saved my life with it that day. There’s no way I’m gonna give her to you just for this fucking unreasonable reason” I said honestly. I don’t want to be selfish and do that thing to her. And there’s no way I’m gonna let her die. She’s fucking mother of my son and how the hell am I supposed to lose her now?

“But without it, you’re dying!” he chuckled and said as he stared at me. I’m dying? So what? Isn’t it because of the bloody demon inside of me? If he was not there, I would be all okay and there won’t be any changes in my life.

“It was because of you! Not because of her” I simply said before lowering my head and looking at the sink, then I saw there were a few blood drops on it. I looked at the mirror again and looked at myself but I couldn’t see blood. I knew it was because the person who’s in the mirror was not me.

Wiping my nose again, I stared at the mirror for a while and then sighed before washing my face. Then I just simply walked out of the washroom ignoring the bastard who was in the mirror. Walking towards the window of my room, I stared outside of it. I have no idea what will happen to me in the end.

I really don’t want to leave Asteria and Demir. I don’t feel like leaving them because I couldn’t spend time with them. As a father I wasn’t there for my son and as a mate I wasn’t there when she gave birth to my son so I just don’t feel like leaving them without even spending time. Maybe I should find a way, I should just simply find a way to cure myself instead of staying like this.

With that thought, I sighed and walked out of my room. Then I went towards Ermic’s room wanting to find what the hell he was doing silently.
