Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 40

40 Chapter 40

I stiffened. I don't know why. I knew he would kill his brothers sooner or later so why was I surprised? Now I understood why he was in such a bad mood last night. He must have been feeling terrible.

"Are you alright?" I asked standing up which brought us even closer to each other. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

"Yes, Hazel. I am perfectly fine. I don't even regret it, it is a part of me to kill. Do you know how many people these hands have killed with ease?" He asked holding up his hands.

" I don't even need weapons to kill. I have killed far more people with my bare hands then a sword."

Why was he doing this? Why was he trying to intimidate me?

"Why are you trying to scare me?"

"I am not." He said grabbing my arms and pulling me closer gently. "I don't want you to be scared. I just want you to be careful."

"Of what?"

His eyes bored into mine.

"Of me. If you ever feel that I am acting different or aggressive then just go far away from me."

Far away? No, I wouldn't. In fact, I wouldn't listen to anything he just said and I would still seduce him tonight.

Lucian could see a mischievousness in Hazel's eyes. She wasn't taking him seriously and yes, in a normal case he would love to be seduced by her but now, his demon was hungrier and angrier than ever.

First, he needed to figure out a safe way to be with Hazel.

"Your Highness, Princess Klara is here to meet you." A guard called from the outside.

Lucian exchanges a few looks with Hazel and then let her decide. She looked at him for a moment before she told the guard to let Klara in.

Klara walked in, her face shining with happiness.

"Princess Hazel, Prince Lucian, I hope I am not disturbing you." She said.

Lucian looked at Hazel, "No you are not, please come in." Hazel smiled but he knew it wasn't genuine.

Klara took a few steps forward and her gaze landed on Hazel questioningly.

"I came here to remind you of what we spoke about last time," Klara said carefully.

Lucian got a bad feeling about this and he gave Hazel a questioning look. She looked back at him with pleading eyes and he instantly knew what this was about. She wanted him to marry Klara. He had already been in a very bad mood these days, now he was fuming with anger. He really felt like spilling someone's blood.

Klara sensed the tension between them so she made a move first.

"I have got your weapons." She said and a guard came in with Lucian's weapons. "All your men have got their weapons back too. Is there anything else you would like me to do?" She was already showing her authority.

Hazel looked at him and he gave her a warning look. He wanted her to be the person to say no but she looked stubbornly at him.

"If you don't mind, I would like to speak to my wife alone." He told Klara.

"Sure," she smiled and left.

"Can't you see? You got your weapons back and you can get anything else that you want." She looked down and lowered her voice. " She can give you things I can't."

Seeing her like that turned his anger into something else he couldn't quite describe and he drew her into his arm. He wished he could tell her there was another way out but there wasn't and he could put her life in danger.

"I am alright with you marrying her, " she said looking up at him "as long as you don't give your heart to her."

That wouldn't be a problem. He had already given his heart to Hazel and he wanted to give the rest of him to her and only to her.
