The Scent of Your Blood

Chapter 66

The king of Hell tapped his long sharp nails on his throne as he waited for someone and he was starting to get impatient. Finally, the doors opened and a demon walked in.

"What did you need, sire?" The black-haired demon asked as he bowed to show his respect.

"Seungcheol, I trust you to follow my son, see what he is doing and where he is disappearing to," Satan said and sat up straighter. "I'm getting very suspicious as to where he goes, he always comes back smelling of human," his eyes glowed red.

Seungcheol smirked and raised an eyebrow. "I will do as you wish, sire." He stood up straight and left the room, the evil grin on his lips never disappearing. "This should be very interesting," he chuckled and the two large doors closed once he walked out of the room.

"Seonghwa, I think your father is starting to suspect something," Luna said from where she was sitting on the male's desk, her legs swinging back and forth. Seonghwa looked over at her once he pulled his hoodie on and raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you say that?" He sat down on his bed and pulled his shoes on.

"I heard other demons saying that they could smell a human on you and I definitely believe that they have reported it to your father by now," she said and looked over at the closed doors. Seonghwa sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He stood up and walked over to the middle of the room where the portal was covered by a rug. He moved it away and before stepping into it, he looked over at Luna. "Hongjoong could be in danger."

"Everything will be fine," he disappeared into the pentagram and the hybrid sighed.

"Let's hope," she muttered.

Seungcheol, who was standing outside, smirked and pushed the doors open which caught the hybrid's attention. "So, the Prince of Hell has a little mortal, hm?" He chuckled and Luna's eyes widened.

"Oh no," she muttered and ran to the portal. She slid on her knees and placed her hands on the pentagram. "I, Luna Kim, only give Park Seonghwa permission to enter this portal!" It glowed white. Seungcheol cursed under his breath as he walked over to her and wrapped his hand around her throat. She clawed at his hand to get him to release her.

"What does this mortal mean to Seonghwa?" He tilted his head and she glared. She didn't know what would happen to Seonghwa and Hongjoong if she told Seungcheol the truth.

"I'm not telling you, n-never," she wheezed.

He sighed and shook his head. "Wrong answer, little kitty," he snapped her neck and dropped her body onto the floor. He sighed through his nose and looked down at the locked portal. "Looks like I'm going to have to wait until the Prince returns," he looked at the hybrid's body. "Silly cat. You didn't say the right words." He stepped over Luna's body, leaving the room.

Hongjoong squealed when he felt arms wrap around his waist and pull him back against a chest.

"Seonghwa! You scared me!" He pouted and looked over his shoulder to see the demon grinning.

"Sorry, beautiful," he kissed him on the cheek. Suddenly, Seonghwa got a pain in his chest and he gasped, dropping onto the floor.

"Seonghwa!" Hongjoong shouted in shock, getting on the floor with his fiancé. "Hey, you okay? What's wrong?" He cupped his face and the demon gripped his chest.

"I-I don't know. Fuck, that hurt," he squeezed his eyes shut.

"Seonghwa," a voice whispered and Seonghwa's eyes snapped open.
