Ruling darkness

Arlo's pov

Shae was here, I've known her all my life and the only time she came willingly without my order was when she had important business to discuss.

"How can you possibly send my people out there without my permission. You don't own the demon hunters they are mine, my legacy Arlo not yours!" She yelled at me for asking two hunters to help dispose of the body the sirens killed.

"I'm the king you may own them but I own you!" I held my guard.

"You cannot abuse your power when you see fit, my family started this and for you to waltz in and think you have authority over it." She stated. Knowing that should have me in my place.

"You don't see it do you, I am king I rule all anyone has." I countered.

"Your stupid to think you own me." She said slyly

"Bold of you to call the king stupid." I smirked

"I'm not calling the king stupid, I'm calling the boy who used climb my window at night knowing I could kill him stupid. I'm calling the teenager who used to run the woods with me chasing banshee in the underworld stupid. I'm not calling this king you call yourself, king of Greed stupid." She said mixed emotions displayed.

She had me, she knew me long enough to know exactly what to say for me to come clean. I knew Shae when my father ruled and her parents started the holy grail, also known as home of demon hunters.
We met once when she was a playmate of mine at the castle and we grew up because both families made an alliance. When we were teenagers we had a fling and it grew into more till I took the throne. I saw it fit that no one should rule with me.

"Arlo I know you did it for a reason, talk to me maybe I can help." Shae said lowering her voice

Just like that my gaured was down. I hugged her for long.

"What to say Shae, mums sick, Kristlyn wearabouts are unknown and the other 4 sins are hiding. They need protection and these fucking sirens are going around thinking there actions have no consequences."

"Sounds like you should ask for my help." She hinted.

"Would you my dearest Shae offer me your best demon hunters as help in this insane world called Darkonia?" I asked her with a little amusement.

"I Shea would gladly help. One condition though, I want a reward." She hinted again with a smirk.

"Well then you best hope that door is closed properly before I do." I said the want for her already starting to grow.

Pecking her lips as she sat up on my table, we couldn't stop the giggles that came out. I slowly pressed my lips against her with more passion, pulling apart and rubbing my nose against hers, I sighed in content with this moment.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing my warrior." I smiled contently at her.

I pulling her in for another kiss this one more firm. More heated this time I slipped my hand into her hair tugging it slightly. She hummed. Slowly my lips moved to her ear, biting it then her jaw and finally her neck. I wanted to mark her. A demon hunter marked by a demon.
