Chapter 30 HEALING HER SCARS
Back in the vampire’s realm, Marisol and Faren suddenly woke up from the noise that filled the air and stepped out of their rooms.
“What’s going on?”Faren asked Marisol sleepy.
“How would I know? Go and control your people or something”
Faren climbed down the stairs where he saw a full blown crowd gathering around someone.
“What is going on? Did someone die? This is not the first time someone is dying so why the noise?”Faren muttered annoyed.
Jacinth rushed up to Faren”M-My lord”
“Just bury the corpse of the deceased already”Faren said nonchalantly
Jacinth shook her head”I-Its the King”
The sleep that threatened Faren suddenly left his eyes”What about father?”
Jacinth pointed towards the crowd”He fainted”
“What!?” Faren exclaimed before rushing towards the crowd and pushing them aside.
On seeing his father, he knelt down beside him as he began to shake him”Father, wake up!”
King Giyaza woke up suddenly and smacked Faren on the cheeks.
The whole crowd gasped. Was the king pretending to have fainted all these while?
“You rascal”King Giyaza snarled at Faren”I can’t believe I threw a feast for you when you were intending to marry a woman of loose virtue all these while!”
King Giyaza pointed at Faren angrily”You are the worst disappointment I’ve ever had! You can’t do anything right!”
He stood up from the ground and turned around to leave when Faren held his feet in tears “Please, father. Give me one more chance. I promise to not-”
“Kedar!”King Giyaza shouted as Kedar, a white haired vampire with blue eyes ran in to meet him.
Kedar was king Giyaza’s personal bodyguard and Giyaza also saw him as his second son because his mother had passed away in the palace while serving him.
“Yes, my king”
“Throw Faren into the dungeon for 7 days. He is to be given no food or water”
“Yes, my king!” Kedar picked Faren up from the ground”Please, father. Forgive me!”
Faren’s voice slowly faded as he was being dragged away.
Marisol who was watching from above began to shake in fear.
Father must never know that she and Greg were now divorced. She would take that secret to her grave. She inwardly thought.
When Damien got back to the demon realm, Valdir immediately stormed into his chambers and slapped him.
Marianna screamed.”Honey!”
Valdir pointed at Damien”How dare you?! How dare you use the ‘flame of death’!!!? And who are you to call off your engagement with Gezelle? I got you two engaged so therefore only me gets to end things between both of you and if for one second, you think about starting anything with that Angel”
Valdir pressed Damien’s neck”I will kill her”
He pushed Damien away as he walked out of his chambers.
Damien angrily walked out of his chambers.
“Where are you going, my Lord?”Rosco asked.
“Do not think about stopping me, Rosco”Damien growled as he ran out of the realm.
When he got out of the realm, he kept on going wherever his legs could take him because he didn’t have anywhere to go to.
The only person he’d ever wanted to be with was Alexa and now he couldn’t even go see her because she would get hurt because of him.
When he looked up, he stopped in his tracks.
He was in this secret spot Alexa had brought him to the other day.
This spot where the moon shined brightly over the oceans.
He remembered what Alexa had said to him that night; “when things get hard for you as the demon lord, feel free to use this place. You might not remember it but your body will”
He smiled a bittersweet smile”I miss her”
A hug from behind him startled him.
Her small hands held him ever so tightly”I miss you too”
On hearing her voice, he immediately turned around and felt her face wanting to so desperately believe that he wasn’t dreaming.
That she was actually here. “Are you real?”
Tears streamed down slowly from Alexa’s eyes as she nodded her head”Yes”
That was all he needed to hear before embracing her in a tight hug.
“I’m sorry. Because of me, you got hurt”
“Don’t reason it that way Damien. I don’t want you hating yourself over something that isn’t your fault”
Damien refrained from her as he scanned her body for her scars”Does it still hurt?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“A little”
Damien placed a light kiss over the scars on her arms”And now?”
“It’s a little better”
Damien smirked “Really?”
Damien continued placing light kisses over where she had her scars.
From her arms to her neck to her forehead.
He held her face in his hands as he stared into her eyes.
On looking into her eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks.
He’d never had someone look at him with so much love before.
“I love you”Damien said as Alexa’s eyes widened”You don’t have to say it back if you don’t love me yet but I thought it’d be better to tell you how I feel”
“We are definitely going to go through more difficulties and you might see some scary versions of me when next someone lays a hand on you and that might trigger you to stay away from me but in all of these” Damien let out a heavy sigh”Remember I love you”
“My feelings for you will never change, Alexa. You are the first person I’ve ever loved and if possible, I would like to share the rest of my life with you”
Alexa looked at Damien still taken aback and unable to utter a single word.
Her silence made him think he’d made a big mistake”Like I said , you don’t have to say the words back to me yet. My feelings for you won’t-”
Damien was cut off as Alexa grabbed his collar and pulled him down to her sealing his lips with hers.
“I love you too, Damien”
