Heaven's heart was racing wildly as she took a step back from the devil. He stalked toward her slowly, with an evil smirk on his face. "What should I do with you now?" He said thoughtfully.
"How about nothing?" She said, stepping further away from him, when her surroundings suddenly changed.
Heaven found herself in an endless darkness. She couldn't tell whether it was a room or somewhere outside. Everywhere she turned was dark. She couldn't even see the ground beneath her feet.
He was trying to scare her, and she became a little afraid. She didn't know what he planned to do with her.
"I would have done nothing if you had done nothing. But you had to be noisy." He shook his head, as if disappointed. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"You wanted grandma all along." Heaven began. "Why did you have to do all of this to get her? You are hurting her with your actions." She couldn't understand.
"She hurt me too." He snapped, still stalking toward her. "She is my mate. The devil's mate. I thought that I had finally found a companion like everyone else. Someone I could be myself with and share everything with. But she had a problem with me being the devil. All those years she stayed with me only because I pretended to be something else. Why? She of all people should accept me for who I am."
Heaven saw the anger, the hurt, and hatred in his eyes.
"No, she shouldn't. She might not have been able to control that you happened to be her mate, but she can choose not to be with you. She can choose not to accept the kind of person that you are. Everyone can choose who they want to be with or not. Did you ever think of why you got a mate?" She asked him.
His blazing eyes looked at her questioningly. "I was given a mate as a punishment. God gave me something just to take it away in front of my eyes but I won't accept it." He said.
Heaven shook her head at him with a smile. "Why do you always look at things so negatively? When we find a mate, we often change for the better. Did you ever think that maybe God gave you a mate to find happiness and peace and let go of the hatred that darkens your heart?"
"That is why I say it is a punishment. He gave me a mate who has morals and doesn't share my values because I have no plan to change mine."
"Yet you want grandma to accept you for who you are. You want her to leave her morals and change her values, for you." Heaven said.
He clenched his jaw. "Yes. That is what I want her to do." He admitted. "She might have been sent to show me the right way, but I will lead her the wrong way. And then she will lead others that way. She will then truly become the devil's mate."
The way the look in his eyes changed made Heaven shiver.
"I will make her the mate she was supposed to be." His voice was cold and firm and his eyes fiery.
Grandmother could have been a second chance for him to change for the better. To choose to be better and live happily. But he chose to hold on to hate. This was like a contest for him. He had to win. Turning good meant losing. It meant admitting that he was wrong.
He stalked toward her again with the anger blazing in his eyes. "It is not too late." Heaven hurried to say to make him stop from whatever he was going to do. "Grandma still likes you, but you will never win her like this. She will never accept you as long as you behave this way."
