His Mate, Enchanting

2

The young Earl, now a demon, studied her appearance quietly. She would pass off as a queen on Earth. She exuded elegance and grace from her black lace ball gown to her exquisite features.

"Allow me to introduce myself, since my brother is not in a good mood." The woman said lightly making her brother glare at her. "I am the Demoness overlooking contracts. I am the one who deems if a demon may become a contractor. And I am the one who punishes those who violates their contracts, as well as other demons' contracts. You may call me, Anastasia. That is my last human name."

The young demon couldn't help but feel drawn to her. He knew she was far older than him, and he was still a teenage boy, while the woman in front of him was an adult. He thought his attraction to her irrational, and made a theory that it was her ability to charm men, like her brother who has the ability to charm women.

"It's an honor to meet you then, Lady Anastasia." Ciel answered politely which earned a snort from his companion. He raised his eyebrow at this.

"Please. You don't have to act so politely in front of my sister." The older male demon said scowling at his sister who in turned gave him a charming smile.

"I like you, Ciel." Anastasia said giggling which made her brother narrow his eyes at her.

"Now, our contract."

"Hush, Sebastian." Anastasia said with a smile, teasing him with his given name. "I'll get to that. But first, punishments." Sebastian growled but nodded. Anastasia stood up from her throne and walked to a side of the room. She waved her hand and the curtain moved, showing a mirror.

"Show me the Sheath of Lævateinn." She said to the mirror with a serious gaze, gone was the playfulness in her voice. Ciel and Sebastian watched quietly as she hummed when she saw the Trancy maid. She snapped her fingers and the Trancy maid appeared in front of her, bound in dark chains which burned the maid's outfit and skin. She held her head down.

"You've been, naughty." Anastasia said wagging her index finger at the bound demoness. "You had one job. You were created for one purpose. And yet, you decided to meddle with another demon's contract."

The bound demoness only looked at her blankly. "Kill me then. You can do nothing to hurt me."

Anastasia smiled, it was cold and sadistic. "Oh, contraire!" Her eyes glowed crimson and on her hands, an insignia similar to Sebastian's glowed.

"Jim and Luka Macken." Anastasia hummed making Hannah freeze.

"You can't have them, they are already mine." Hannah said through gritted teeth. The chains were painful, but she could not let them see her pain.

"Oh, you should've thought of that when you messed with my brother." Anastasia said casually with a grin. "He's not very happy that his meal has been taken from him."

"Y-Your brother?" Hannah mumbled in disbelief as he stared at Sebastian and Ciel who she now noticed was at the other side of the room.

"Yes. Didn't you know that he is the brother of the Contract Overseer?" Anastasia giggled. "I wouldn't blame you for not knowing though. We don't look like siblings after all."

Hannah studied the powerful demoness in front of her with fear in her eyes. She was finding it difficult to decide what to do. If she digested Luka and Jim aka Alois, she would lose them forever. But, Anastasia was unpredictable. There was no way she can get their souls from her, wasn't there? Hannah decided to keep quiet and looked down.
