Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: 142

"I have another mate and he is in your hidden kingdom."

Lothaire had to take a moment to understand what she said. Another mate? That was impossible? He had never heard or seen someone having two mates at the same time.

"That is not possible." He spoke with clenched teeth.

She didn't respond to that, since it wasn't a question.

"What else did he tell you?" He asked.

"He said to find my mate. He would help me get back home."

Lothaire threw his head back and laughed hysterically. She had another mate, and she expected him to save her. How naive. This whole thing was ridiculous. None of it was true.

"Did you find him?"

"No."

"Are you looking for him?" He asked.

"Yes."

He became furious. So she believed whatever Zamiel told her. And how would Zamiel know such a thing? It was probably a lie to anger him.

But… what if it was the truth? After all, he was the devil, and this could be yet another punishment for him. He wouldn't be surprised.

He released her from his spell, and when she woke up from her trance, she slapped him across the face. She didn't look angry. It was almost as if she had already decided that if he compelled her, she would slap him.

Lothaire had expected a slap or some harsh words. But he had preferred the slap until now. Strangely, the slap and the disgusted look on her face made him feel a sting in his heart.

Why was he hurt when he already expected it to happen? She had slapped him before, and it had never bothered him. In fact, he found joy in it. There was something about aggressiveness in people that he liked. Normally he would have given her a polite smile to ensure her that her slap didn't hurt him in any way.

Irene pushed past him and left him standing in the hall alone. What was this feeling? In a short moment, he went through so many emotions that it left him feeling overwhelmed.

His heart felt heavy while his mind got imploded with so many questions. Another mate? In his own kingdom? If it was true, then that would be a good way to mock him and he wouldn't let that happen. He had to treat this as if it was true, even though he believed it was a lie. If she had another mate, then that demon would be dead soon.

His hands fisted at the sides of his body and his face grew hot just thinking of the possibility of Irene having another mate. He imagined killing her mate in front of her eyes so she would wish she never found him. But then her disgusted face appeared in his mind, and his heart felt strange again.

What was this? He didn't like it at all.

How could he get rid of the effects of the possession because this was bothering him more than he expected.

If only Heaven would get his personality traits, but she was the victim. He was the one who took away someone's free will and now he was paying for it. He knew he would have to face consequences, but he wasn't ready for this.

He went to the throne hall. The anger was probably still visible on his face because Hezz frowned upon his arrival.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

He was about to tell her to keep an eye on Irene all the time, but that would make her suspicious. "How is the progress with Heaven going?" He asked, trying his best to keep his voice calm.

"Tezz is taking care of her." She told him.

"And what are you doing?!" He snapped.

Hezz blinked a few times, her eyes widening. Lothaire took a deep breath. This wasn't going well.

"I want you to leave all of your other duties and take care of Heaven together with your sister." He told her.

Hezz nodded, but now she was truly concerned. "Did something else happen? I found that another ancient demon joined Zamiel."

"Yes. That is why I need you to focus on Heaven. We don't know what they are planning."

His children had other reasons to worry. They weren't immortal like him, so he could understand their worry and fear.

"It will take time with Heaven. You know that." She reminded.

Lothaire pressed his lips together, feeling impatient. "I know. But you are the master of manipulation. You have taken care of the most righteous people. I believe in you." He told her.

Visiting Irene's dreams wasn't easy. There was some kind of seal between Lucifer's world and the real one, and getting through it was difficult. Tonight, after many tries, Zamiel finally managed to get into Irene's head and wake her up.
