Not Mine but His Mate (Completed)

Chapter 44: I Love You 🐾

~Third Person~

"D**n, Angelic! F**king me like that, I don't know if you missed me or hate me," Derangus said as Angelic stared at herself in the mirror. She readjusted the knot from her robe before she sat down.

"Well what did you expect, Derangus? I have a lot of pinned up energy right now."

"What has you uptight, Angel?" He asked sitting up on the bed.

"Why question such a thing?"

"You're my wife, I think I would know if something is wrong or has you troubled. Now tell me."

She sighed heavily as she stared in the mirror. She saw the concerned look on her husband's face. Derangus was indeed a stone cold killer but she was one of the few people he had a soft side for.

"Is it about this Hazel girl?" He asked, breaking her silence.

She looked up at him.

Bingo.

"What is it about this girl that has thrown you off your game so much, Angel?"

"She's reminds me so much of our daughter Hellina, Dee. In fact, she is just like her in many ways-"

"Enough! Enough of this Hellina talk."

"But Der-"

"I said enough!" Derangus arose to his feet. "Hellina is dead, Angelic and she's never coming back!"

"Don't you think I know that!" She screamed. Hot tears streamed down her face. "I know that more than anyone you heartless a**hole!"

She attempted to leave the room but was quickly intercepted by Derangus. He wrapped his arms around her, stopping her from leaving. He took a deep breath and listened to the low sniffling sounds coming from his wife.

"Listen Angel, I'm sorry. You know I meant no harm-"

"I just don't understand how you could be so nonchalant about this. She was your daughter too."

"Yes, I know that-"

"Then act like it! Act like you even gave a d**n about her!"

"You know I do! Hellina was my bright and morning star. Just because I don't grieve in the way you do, doesn't make me care about her any less. That's still my daughter no matter what but she is no longer with us. No need to dwell on it. We must be happy with the one child we have left."

"I am happy with him, Derangus. You know I love him to the moon and back. After all, he gave me some happiness in finding Hazel. We must get her back-"

"Patience Angelic, patience. Lady Evelyn says we must be patient in our pursuit of Hazel."

Angelic rolled her eyes at the sound of Evelyn's name being spoken, "Must you mention that f**king disgrace of a Azeditarian. I don't even know why Goddess Amora blessed her with the last name Winder. She's nowhere near deserving of such an honor."

"She had a few hiccups, but she did it in the name of love. Surely you can understand that."

"F**k her love! Her love cost me my chance of happiness and Narcissus' chance at a true love life with her! F**k her love."

Derangus chuckled as he shook his head, "What am I going to do with you?" He teased.

She smiled, "Well, I know what you could do?"

"What would that be?"

"You could come over here and f**k me senseless again."

With a menacing smile, "Say no more."
