Darkness has an heir

Chapter 10

No one P.O.V

Raine sat with her siblings in her private council room, glad the blood was cleared from yesterday's events." You Aliki will befriend my mate and be giving me weekly updates on what she does and who she talks to. You, dearest sister will befriend Stephanie with the same updates as Aliki. Understood?" Both nodded in understanding waiting to be dismissed." You can go now."

Raine left before either could reply, deciding that maybe she should try fixing things between Trina and herself.

When the princess entered the gardens she found the fae princess sitting on the grass her back against a golden-leafed tree, sketching a picture of the pond."Hey, Trina..." Rainetrailed off not sure what else to say as she walked over to the blonde who had paused her movement with her pencil, "I-I wanted to apologize, I know I should trust you with everything and I'm so sorry I didn't tell you." She murmured cupping the princess's cheek."I won't keep anything from you ever again, I promise." She reassured her and tucked a strand of golden hair behind her pointed ear.

Trina gave a sad smile."I'll believe you when you show me, okay?" Raine nodded determination in her crimson eyes. Trina put her sketch pad aside and engulfed her mate in a gentle hug." Raine Dark, do you promise to tell me what's on your mind from now on?" Raine nodded kissing Trina on the cheeks, nose and jaw.

"I promise to tell you how I'm feeling from now on. I was scared telling you things would endanger you so I didn't tell you, I'm sorry Trina." The demon princess sighed sitting next to her mate. Trina returned to her sketch and continued whilst Raine sat listening to the wind and the sound of the pencil lightly scratching paper.

Neev woke up on the same sofa he'd fallen asleep on, the only difference was his book was on the table and he was covered in a light brown woollen blanket. The fae prince sat up, a blush covering his cheeks as he remembered whose room he'd fallen asleep in."Thaman...?" Neev murmured looking for his demon mate. Thaman walked into the room, his neat uniform replaced by a pair of cargo shorts on his muscular waist.
"You called?" Neev walked over to his prince, standing over him and looking down." Did you sleep well?"
He looked up at the demon." Yeah, I did sleep well...but why didn't you wake me and send me back to my rooms?" He rubbed his eyes stiffling a yawn and sitting up. Thaman shrugged sitting at the foot of the couch.
"You looked so cute, I couldn't bring myself to send you back...." The demon looked away a pang going off in his chest remembering the decision he'd made regarding his queen and mate.

Neev smiled softly looking at his brunette-haired mate fondly." Hey Thaman, what are you thinking about your face is so...upset...." He reached forward placing a tanned hand on the demon's muscular shoulder. Thaman sighed softly looking up at his green-eyed mate.
"Just stressed, Princess Raine does expect a lot from her finest Generals..." he trailed off smiling stiffly, causing the fae male to clench his fist and jaw, grinding his teeth.
"I understand, can I help in any way?" he bit his lip, locking eyes with those deep red eyes.
" You can let me kiss you. That'll help a load..." the general murmured placing a callused hand on the back of the other male's neck and pulling him closer, gently pressing his lips to the others. Neev kissed back softly his eyes drifting shut as he leaned into the warmth of his mate.
Greg pulled back slowly after a few moments both males panting softly." Better?" the Fae asked his cheeks flushed slightly as he looked into those red eyes he so adored. The demon nodded his brown hair slightly messy and ears relaxed on his head. The older male pulled the younger onto his lap hugging his waist gently." Thaman, what are you doing?" the male panicked slightly but his mate just buried his head into his chest more. Neev smiled slightly running his fingers through the short soft hair of his partner.

"Can we just stay like this for a bit longer?" A muffled voice asked not ready to face the day just yet. Resumed stroking and tugging of hair was the demon's only answer, so the pair remained as they were for a few moments longer.

Raine woke the next dawn feeling arms around her waist a small smile tugging at her pale lips as a rather annoying idea sprang to the female's head," Don't wake me up Raine Celeste Dark or I will kick you off this bed and ignore you for life." an annoyed voice mumbled into a crimson headed's neck sending goosebumps all over said female.
A soft chuckle was heard." Fine but only because I just got you to talk to me again." the demon hummed kissing her mate's long tanned fingers.

A knock at the door pulled a groan from both females, but Raine was the one to answer."  This best be important or someone losing their head and I can guarantee it's goning to be you." The demon princess growled to the cowering female before her.

The lower-ranking demon servant lowered her head in respect and fear." I apologize my lady but your mother wants you attending court in the next two hours, or your training will be cancelled...." Raine sighed dismissing the servant and slammed the door huffing in annoyance.
" Trina, love of my life..." The princess began walking over to the female still in bed, " please help me get dressed for the court meeting!" She pleaded her eyes wide.
A soft groan was heard from the fae in bed." Fine" she moaned drawing out I and n for emphasis on how much she did not wish to do it.
Raine smiled widely as she walked to her walking closet." Okay, T, what would you wear for your first appearance in court? Would I keep my glamour on or would should I look normal or, should I come in with a big show of power?" The princess asked going through different gowns in hues of gold and silver.
Trina walked in behind her wife to hopefully be.
" Raine, you and I both know that gold and silver are predictable as hell, go for your favorite colors instead...." the princess murmured going to look at the pendants on display in the back of the closet. 
Raine walked to her favourite colored gowns; the colors consisting of deep reds and dark greys to black." I could go for this one, T?" The princess took the dress out, it was a red and black dress, it reached the floor in gentle red waves it's bodice consisting of medium length sleeves the ends hung loosely whilst the remainder of the sleeves would cling tightly to her arms.
Trina turned and looked at the dress." Bath, get dressed and I'll do your hair." she mumbled walking to the bed again.
Raine did as she was told and walked out the bathroom a few moments later, the greenish glow of her pale skin made the red appear like vibrant flames in her eyes." Get your butt up I'm goning be late!"
