Feelings were not for demons, at least not for me. I had discarded my emotions the day I lost everything. But now that I was living with King Armand, I was strangely happy.
The little surge of need for lust would blend with the want to get close to my king, the need for his touches, approval, adoration and the feeling intensify the moment he gave them.
It was weird and it was making everything feel better, and I've never been such a greedy demon. But now I want it all. With him.
*****
"You are happy, here," Sabina said as was getting dressed. Armand had gone to meet Titus, and Justus already left for his training. The two of us were set to do nothing but roamed around and play with the dragons.
"I am," I smiled. Sabina had known me for so long. Back at Ranulf's, I was known for my recklessness, selfishness, and eagerness to jump into bed with any being for my thirst for lust. I was never content back in the South Kingdom, always looking for new prey to warm my bed.
But here, I was content. It should make me worry but in actuality, I was happy, stupidly happy that King Armand seemed to be taken by me, that he wanted me despite Sabina being there in the same bed. The king did not once make the first move to touch her unless I urge him to do so, though he did with Justus it didn't make me jealous.
It was weird, somehow his pleasure was mine to take, somehow by being with Justus he knew it'll please me and he continue doing so because it made me happy.
Sabina and Justus had been with us for over a month now, we have been having the most lust-fulfilling sex every night. I had never been so satisfied in my entire life. I love him, I realized that. I didn't think it was possible and I was not sure if I should tell him or not, after all, I am his harem, now part of his harem of three. Though I was the only one that he kept in his bed. Sabina and Justus still sleep in their bedroom in a different tower.
"I like the new you." Sabina complimented as I walked out the door, my demon friend followed behind me and we went straight to the dragons' enclosure passing through the training court.
Justus smiled and winked at us making Sabina giggle. She was probably thinking about what his tongue had done to her orgasm. At first, I was sure that Armand didn't want others with us long-term, but I stand corrected when he was enthusiastically welcoming his additional line of harem.
"We will be heading out for a while, I'm taking Justus with me and several of my flight. You both stay here, no wandering around with Brontes or the other dragons. You're safe behind my walls," King Armand said after he pulled me in for a very hot and dirty kiss where his hands were claiming me publicly.
"Okay, can I play with Sabina? Your kiss made me so aroused." I whispered and the king chuckled, slapping my ass playfully, telling me to warm the bed and don't leave until he gets back with Justus.
I slipped my hand around Sabina's waist when he backed away and talk to his other general before he left us for one of his parameter checks. He would do this a couple of times a month and I was used to it.
But that day something happened, and I was not prepared. After all the calm and fulfilling weeks, I was reminded of the day that I lost everything.
The loud growling, the sound of swords, the yelling, and the smell of smoke, all triggered the day that I lost everything.
"Come on!" I grabbed Sabina and we quickly got dressed, we were about to leave the room when the door opened and one of the ugliest demons with the filthiest scent made me scrunch my nose. He recognized me immediately, and the hideous smile that formed on his face made me want to gag and vomit.
The male grabbed my hand and Sabina was trying to pull me back, and as if everything was turning quickly for the worst, I heard Sabina's screams. It all fell apart, everything was in slow motion yet it all happened too soon. He pulled out the big dagger and her hand just fell to the ground. Her scream filled the room and I panicked immediately. I tried to fight back but another demon came into the room and he hurriedly grabbed me by the waist, and within seconds Sabina's head fell to the ground.
I stood in shock, her eyes were still looking at mine. My vision was blurry, and I did nothing but stared at her decapitated head rolling to the other end of the room. Her beautiful golden hair scattered around her head.
All the memories came rushing to my brain and I lost the ability to react. "Sabina..." I couldn't scream, seemed that I lost the ability to do that also. My voice was barely a whisper, my mouth was open but there was no yelling, not even anger.
"Come on, grab her. We need to go before they come back!"
"No. Please, don't..."
"Oh yes, princess, we've been waiting for this time for far too long." The other demon carried me on his back and I was quickly taken away from the bedroom.
My tears fell for Sabina, we had grown closer this last month and I like her, I never thought I would but she was nice. Until she was no longer alive and all because of me. I struggled in his grasp until he threw me roughly to the floor, then he bound my wrist and put a dirty cloth on my mouth, preventing me from screaming out for help.
They were making me walk, roughly pushing me through the hallway, but they did not venture out to the courtyard. Instead, they went down to the narrow pathway that I had never gone before thinking it was a dead end. But then somehow the wall opened before my eyes, a secret passage. That was how they came without being noticed.
"Come on princess your fate awaits." He tugged my bound wrists to walk faster, I hissed when my shoulder scrapped the narrow corridor, it hurts, the blood trailed and seeped through the material of my cloth. Then my other side endure the same pain when I was pushed to speed up my steps. I was silently crying, tears trailing down my cheeks. I hated that I cried from the pain, but I also cried for the death of Sabina and it was shaking me to the core. The dark corridors didn't help my feelings either.
The pathway was like a maze, but these demons knew where they were going. I stumbled, scraped my shoulders, and bumped my legs several times already and I didn't care if I was going to get out of the hidden passage alive. Secretly, I was hoping I'd die before we reached wherever they were taking me, cause I know my fate would be worse.
It has been an hour of walking or maybe two, honestly, I have lost sense of time since my mind kept on wandering back to Sabina. The passage had gotten narrower as we ventured deeper into the path until I sense a gust of wind and that was when I knew we almost reached the other end. My heart thumped harder when my eyes were covered with another filthy cloth, then one of them pulled me to walk faster until I breathed open air.
I was forced to keep to their pace, I fell several times scraping my knees in the process, and my palms were battered when they cushioned my fall. My tears were falling from the pain when I was rushed walking so damn fast I felt like I was half running. Then there was silence, I knew we had reached another underground tunnel or some kind of passageway.
My ears were trying to pick up any recognizable sounds but failed. Until I was pushed through what sounded like an open space where I heard voices, I didn't understand their language until the cloth was removed from my eyes then I saw probably dozens of ugly-looking demons crawlers surrounding me.
I've never felt so scared in my entire life before. I knew I was going to die and not without being hurt.
Regret was the first thing I felt, regret for not telling Armand how I actually felt towards him. How he made me feel and how I finally found a home in him.
