Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 110

110 Chapter 50

"No!" Klara shot her eyes wide open and her heart jumped inside her chest.

Quickly, her hand flew to her neck and she let out a sigh of relief when she realized that it was only a dream. In the dream, Roshan had bitten her against her will. Was it maybe because of what happened last night?

Klara had seen Roshan's eyes turn a dark red and his fangs elongate.

"You shouldn't have done that." He told her and then leaned into her neck.

Klara had stiffened in fear. It wasn't that she was scared of him, she was just scared of the bite. She couldn't yet comprehend how someone who looked just like a human could bite another one.

Roshan had sensed her fear pulling back from her and out of the bed. "I don't think I can stay here tonight. I told you. You are safer without me."

Klara couldn't understand what made Roshan suddenly react that way. It couldn't be her kiss, could it?

Still confused she got out of bed. While getting ready for the day Astrid came by.

"Did you know that the king of Trevish declared war against us?" Astrid asked as she made herself comfortable in Klara's bed.

Klara turned in her chair. "No. Why?!"

"Clearly Rasmus threatened to take over their Kingdom so their king got mad and wanted to show his power," Astrid explained.

"Trevish is a powerful kingdom. Why would brother do that?" Klara was confused.

She knew her brother could sometimes get power-hungry but he was always strategic. This seemed like a stupid move.

"I am sure Rasmus has some plan. Like a powerful ally or something." Klara said with hope.

"Trevish has many allies as well and since they declared war first I am sure their King has a secret weapon".

Astrid was right. Klara needed to speak to her brother.

Once the maids finished preparing her she made her way to the throne hall where Rasmus was speaking to some generals.

"Excuse us for a while. I need to speak to His Majesty alone." Klara spoke.

Rasmus motioned for the generals to leave and once they were alone Klara gave her brother a hard glare.

"What have you done now?" She asked accusingly.

"I have done nothing sweet sister. I really don't know why Trevish declared war against us, besides that man always wanted to have my kingdom."

"So he is the one who wants your kingdom and not the other way round?" Klara crossed her arms over her chest.

"Of course it's the other way round as well. Our lands are too close. Sooner or later on of us will rule over the other. So, I have been thinking of taking the first step but I guess I am too late." Rasmus explained.

Klara sighed. She didn't like war. Her people would suffer but she didn't want someone else to rule over them either because then they would suffer even more.

"What do we do now?"

"And where do we get such an ally?"

"That, I am not sure."

Klara spent the rest of the day planning for war and trying to find an ally willing to help. She couldn't say she missed it but she missed her men. What she couldn't understand is why they always seemed excited to go on war. Did they not care about their lives or what would happen to their families if they died?

Tired after a whole day of planning she went back to her room. Her maids helped her change to her nightgown and prepare for sleep. As she lay comfortable on her bed she thought of Roshan. Would he come tonight? Were things alright between them or did something she was unaware of happen last night?

"Roshan." She whispered his name in the darkness as if he would hear her.

Strange she thought. But even stranger was that he actually came just after she called his name.

"Klara." His voice came from behind.

Klara sat up on the bed and turned so that she could face him.

Roshan stood in the dim light, only half of his face visible and the other half was hidden behind the shadows. Klara didn't know why having him in her room, in the dark made her heart race.

All of a sudden she felt as though she could not speak.

Roshan walked slowly toward her bed until she could see his whole face. He gazed at her just the way he did in her dream, eyes filled with lust.

"I am not sure if I should be here at night?" He spoke.

"Why?" She whispered.

"At night, my demon awakens."

Klara wasn't sure what he meant by that but it didn't sound good.

"I almost bit you last night. I told you I wouldn't but I wanted to so badly. If I stay I might break my promise." He continued.

"But you stayed with me many times before without biting me." Klara didn't want him to leave.

"The more I stay with you, the more I want you."

She could relate to that. She wanted him more as well.

His eyes darkened. "Then do you want me to stay?" He asked.

"Will you bite me?"

"I might." He warned. "You should tell me to leave if you aren't ready."

Klara studied him for a while wheighing her options. For some reason, she trusted that he wouldn't bite her if she didn't want to.

"Stay." She whispered.

Roshan watched her for a moment before taking off his coat and crawling into her bed. Klara grabbed the sheets around her tightly, suddenly feeling like prey from the way he looked at her.
