Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: 125

"Life is tough my darling, but so are you."- Stephanie Bennett-Henry

************************

Her uncles were powerful, probably very old demons. She could tell by their aura as they walked further into the room. Her power was nothing compared to theirs.

Heaven watched them carefully as they made their way to the table where her grandmother was sitting with her aunts. They greeted her respectfully and then introduced themselves. The one with golden hair was Marcus and the other one Lorien. Heaven wondered how her grandmother felt about being surrounded by her mate's children. Whatever she felt, she didn't show it.

After speaking to her grandmother for a while, they turned around and started walking toward her. Heaven felt a little nervous, but she put on a brave face.

When they neared the table, all of her cousins stood up and greeted them with a slight bow. They showed respect to these two men. Heaven thought of whether or not to stand up at first, but she remained sitting. She had no reason to follow their rules. In fact, acting any way she liked might make her grandfather tire of her and his family tire of him.

She could see that a few of her cousins already disliked her for the way she was behaving, but her uncles showed no sign of distaste.

Lorien waved with his hand for them to sit down before he turned to her. Lilian played host again and introduced them to each other.

"It is nice to finally meet you." Lorien smiled.

Heaven couldn't tell whether it was a genuine smile or if they were very good at acting.

"Thank you." Was all she said, and it seemed to amuse them both.

"I hope you are enjoying your stay here." Marcus said.

"I am."

Was she being rude? She wasn't used to talking like this to elders.

"I am glad to hear. We won't be staying here for too long. We only came to greet you and your grandmother but we will see each other again."

"I am sure we will." Heaven said.

"Have a nice evening." Both gave her a slight nod and then left the hall while talking to each other.

All of them seemed to put extra effort to welcome her.

"They seem busy if they had to leave already." Heaven told Lilian.

"They are. Our kingdoms are safe from those who don't belong here because it is hidden." Lilian explained.

"Where are we now exactly?" Heaven asked.

She knew the kingdoms were hidden and no one could find them unless her grandfather wanted to.

"Nowhere you can find on a map." She said.

Heaven nodded. "What happens if you want to go to the human world and then come back?"

"It is hard to explain but once you join grandfather, you can come and go as you please but when you decide to leave, you can't find your way back. It is almost as if this place never existed for that person."

Heaven wished that was the case for her. She wished this place never existed.

"You don't like being here." Lilian pointed.

"Would you like to be away from your family?" Heaven asked.

"No. I don't know what happened between you and grandfather, but I hope you don't dislike us all." _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Oh. She was good, Heaven thought. She was so believable, and Heaven would have believed her if she hadn't changed. She wasn't the same old Heaven anymore. Now she couldn't trust anyone. It felt as if everyone was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. If her own grandfather could do this to her, then how could she trust other people? She had lost the part of her that always saw good in people and always believed in good.

Lilian smiled at her, and Heaven thought of something to say that wasn't rude when someone in the room caught her attention.
