Lord Vicnan

Chapter 16

By the time I came back out. Relic had already gone. I knew Relic very well. he will hesitate to carry out my order but will do it anyways. I didn't blame him, though. He was right, breaking the bond between mates is a dangerous thing to do especially when it comes to demons. but I have to do it anyway.
    In the beginning, demons never had anything to do with mates. we lived our lives freely, barely falling in love. it was strange to see a demon fall in love. Back then demons were ruthless and had no, control, especially the royals, they did the most heartless deeds because they felt nothing but joy in ruthlessness. after all, that is the way, we were designed.
    then mating spirits decided that the only way to tame us is to make us feel, feel the most dangerous thing of them all. Love. But this only applies to the royals. since then, whenever a demon lord gets out of control, they bond him with a mate, and he becomes stuck. at first, it is like putting him in a cage but eventually, this mate becomes a part of him, his other half. slowly the mate bones will no longer have an effect, and it becomes uncontrollable love. that is the situation I am in right now.

    I lay on the couch, wondering what Bonnie would be up to. I remembered Relic's last message before leaving. he told me that word has already gotten out about my mate. the men already kill two dark spirits seeking her soul and he is suspicious of some humans around her. this made me worry " Is she still getting ready to go see that Edward guy? But why does she have to get all dressed up to go see him? why does he even want to see her? Doesn't he have a company to take care of? where are they meeting away? " thinking out loud
   I lay there quietly as a million thoughts kept going through my head. I need a distraction, something to get my mind off her. " should I just return to the underworld? " questioned myself " I haven't heard any news about Asura. I have to find him before he finds her."

   Two hours went by. Getting bored, I suddenly got the urge to go see her, see how she is doing and check her surrounding, if it was safe.

  With a blink of an eye, I was out of the cabin, out of the woods and on that familiar street. I noticed the clouds gathering in the evening sky. it would rain anything from now. Humans passed by me in a hurry, with no intention of getting caught up in the rain.

  I stood there listening, trying to find her voice so I could find her location. I remained like that until " ha, ha, ha. That is insane" I heard her. They were in a restaurant and she was having fun, laughing. This made me frown.
  I located the restaurant immediately and kept my eyes on them. I wasn't able to read Cloe's mind which made it difficult to tell what she was thinking but The Edward guy, on the other hand, annoyed the shit out of me. His thoughts filled the air almost suffocating me. bude has already fallen in love. " aa" a gasp escaped my lips as I felt pain at the back of my neck due to the thought of another man dating her. I reach for the back of my neck with my eyes close " I am going to kill that man " I hissed

  " excuse me?" I heard the shock in the waitress's voice when she had this while serving my drink. I ignored her with eyes focused on Cleo " En...enjoy sir " she left nervously

   " how dare he "

********************************
   " thank you for the food "

   " stop thanking me. I should be the one thanking you" they spoke while standing in front of Cloe's apartment building. Edward had offered to drop her off and now he was taking too long to leave. I really don't like the guy " Thanks to you I was able to get my mind off today's stress. you are like a pain reliever " Cleo smiled at his ridiculous complement

   " but are you sure everything would be ok? " she carried a worried tone

   " Yeah. don't worry about me. the investigation will only last a few days and I hope they get results, I am also seeking an explanation " he said
