Princess of the Demon Realm

Part 3

Chapter 3

Shadow sat by the window as the night started to fall over the now empty house. She sipped her tea while watching the starts slowly appear one by one on the dark sky. Conor had fallen asleep and rested his head on her lap. It was so peaceful and quiet and Shadow enjoyed every minute of it.

After telling Drake, she wouldn't og through With the operation, it caused a bit of a drama, even though Drake hadn't showed too much of it when Shadow was in the same room.

Conor had a hearing after Connie had taken Shadow out to help With supper. She tried so hard to shove away the whimpered sounds of her son being slammed Down to the ground and Shadow felt the pain With her. Still Shadow was overfilled With joy that Conor was nothing like his abusing father. To think someone could actually love someone like that.

Thought, Shadow knew the rules of a demon's mate. That they were not chosen, but given. Which was very common among werewolves, but not all demons had that rule.

However, all werewolves were proud demons, who would not show up With just any kind of random mate. they had to be Perfect in every form and curv.

Shadow still wondered why Conor had chosen her as a mate. She was an angel. Demons killed angels for fun, but Conor's Family took in Shadow when she was very Young. It was still unclear for her, how she had ended up in the demon realm at all, and Drake had refused to talk about it. He told her it was Destiny, who had brought them together, and Shadow trusted to believe that was true. Because she had grown to love everything about Conor, especially his kind yellow eyes and his messy Brown hair, which made him looke like the adorable little puppy he really was. She was Lucky and she knew it.

A door being kicked Down broke the silence. Several men in dark armours ran in, carrying Heavy guns and swords in every size. Conor was quick on his legs to stand up and looked around.

"What's going on?!" He yelled to the men who started to circle around the couch.

Shadow sat glued to the couch With a terrified Expression on her face. Since the men were being silent as statues, Conor glanced at Shadow. He saw how scared she was and wanted to Comfort her, but then he heard a woman scream and realised quick that it was Connie.

He panicked and ran out, leaving Shadow alone. The armoured men had split up around the house in only a few Seconds. Then another scream came and Connie appeared in the doorway, followed by Conor. His left shoulder was badly wounded by an Arrow, but still he manage to drag a lifeless body into the livingroom.

Connie was crying her eyes out and Shadow felt a hard stone appear in her stomach as she saw Drake's body. His right side had been torn open and one of his arms was on the edge of disconnect of the rest of the body. Shadow was not only scared, but also shocked. The armoured men were here to kill them.

Conor made Space for his father to lay Down on the floor before he ran to the door and quickly locked it. Not before he had manage to Lock it the men started to attack the door and Conor knew it would not hold for long before it would break open. It clearly showed on his face that he was terrified as well. If Shadow could have moved she would have ran to both him and Connie. She sat on her knees next to Drake's body.

What had started as a beautiful night now ended in a bloodbath, which Connie had lost her mate to and Conor his father to. The loss also affacted Shadow since Drake had been like a father to her too.

The door blew to pieces and splinters flew everywhere. Shock and horror went through Shadow as she saw Conor run straight into the Group. She wanted to scream, but she could do was stand there and cry. Conor yelled something towards her. He wanted her to run. To get out of here, but she could not move for some rerason.

A man she had not notice took a hold on her hands and twisted them around on her back. Another scream came from behind her and she looked in terrify to see Connie. A sword pierced right through her stomach and her eyes were glittering With tears before they slowly shut.

"NO! MOTHER!"
