Laurent's POV:

To say that I was furious was an understatement. I haven't' had been this happy in a very long time and yet, it's ruined because a little girl wanted some attention. I could spit. Walking into my empire and seeing the havoc caused by that inferior thing already made my head pound. Each step closer to her made my non-existent blood pressure go up. She was in the middle of throwing a hissy fit in my throne room. Screaming bloody murder about who she was with her clothes torn in a convenient fashion as her body was hidden but her assets were highlighted. The usually pristine marble floors were littered with shards of glass and ancient pottery. All priceless and unique. Things I have salvaged and fought wars for. I have bled for some of these gifts... And yet this little BITCH!

Calm down... the quicker I handle this, the faster I can return to my kitten.

My beautiful kitten. Gorgeous soft baby skin that tasted and felt like a dream. Glossy, clear doe eyes that could make anyone lay down their life just so that he would just look upon them and his lips... plump, soft and delicious. I was addicted. He was my obsession. My dragon hardening as I remembered the melody he screamed for me last night. Just for me. Only me. And it'll stay that way. Forever.

I reeled myself in realizing that I was approaching my destination. Swiftly neutralized my face, I walked over to stand behind her. She must have sensed my presence- who wouldn't?- because she stopped screaming long enough to cling to me, looking up and batting her eyelashes.

I admit that she's gorgeous. But she has to be a succubus. Soft, curvy with black hair that flows like a waterfall, plump lips, and gorgeous milky skin. She was sinful perfection. I was in my element when I created her and I am proud of my creation. I'm not blind but I am highly immune. If only I didn't want to snap her neck every time she opened that damned mouth.

Pushing her off me, I dusted off my clothes before looking down at her. "My king," she sobbed, making me fight the urge to do that thing that the kids do in my kitten's school, rolling of the eyes, I think they called it. "Please seek justice for me. These HEATHENS, " She hissed, "wouldn't let me see you."

I looked over to the five guards standing in front of my office door, each handpicked by me and each as fought alongside me at least once. My brothers. They stared back unflinching before lowering their heads in respect. The one in charge stepped forward, getting on his knee and crossing his arms over his chest. "My lord, I was given instruction to not let anyone," he emphasized shooting a glare to Melissa, "into your office without your permission. We were doing our duty, changing guards when she tried to sneak past us. She fought with us for a while before we heard your footsteps and she suddenly became hysterical. Throwing things and tearing at her clothes. I'm sorry we couldn't stop her. Have mercy, your Grace."

I looked at Melissa who's seems to be having an internal battle came back to her sense, "LIAR! HE'S LYING!"

This time I did roll my eyes. Cain has been with me for thousands of years and knows what I do to anyone who goes against me. I fully believe he is smarter than that because clearly, she isn't.

I was fed up and my hands were eager to teach her a thing or two when my chest felt a sharp pain in my chest. Clenching my chest, I hunched over grabbing onto one of the guards trying to calm my breathing, a habit I picked up from Larry. They quickly surrounded me asking me dozens of questions as if I would be able to answer. It felt like I was getting stabbed by hundreds of swords at once.

My confusion became panic when I realized that Larry must be in danger. He has part of my essence in him, my mark connected our body and soul. I meant it when I said he was mine, which only made me panic more as I was feeling his pain. HIS pain. My wild human was in pain!

My true form emerged, burning away my clothes as I teleported back to Earth. It was quicker to travel in this form, plus it felt good to be like this. Like waking up from a good nap and stretching big.

Following Larry's scent, I shadow blending to a river. My baby washed up on the side with that idiot on top of him, trying to wake him up. My throat released a thundering growl as I pushed him away, vowing to make him pay later before I sat next to Larry's head.

For the first time in my life, my mind froze. Larry's clothes clung to his skin was soaked with water, his beautiful skin turning gray, and his plush mouth parted. He wasn't breathing. Humans needed to breathe.

Luckily the essence I left on him allowed me to make it back in time. Putting my hands over his chest, I sent a small fraction of my power to course through his body. Being a human, he's a frail creature so I made sure that it wasn't enough to do his little body any damage. After a second, he flipped to the side starting violently throwing up the water clogging up his lungs, taking in a huge breathe of air.

Falling back on my heels, I actually smiled. Relieved that my baby was here. Alive and soon to be in my arms after I finish healing him. I made sure to change back into my human form while his back was towards me, I didn't need him to be even more scared of me than he already was.

"You idiot," I said gently, "Tell me what you were thinking."

I knew what had happened, that dumbass servant of mine replayed everything in his head while he watched me revive Larry. I was gonna kill him but first I needed to know what my wild kitten was okay and to see what his thoughts were as I try not to invade his little mind.

My heart fractured a little when he scooted away from me and shook his head, "I-I don't know."

"You're lying," I stated calmly, putting him in my lap so I could warm up his body. My side of my lips rose slightly when he snuggled into my chest. My baby human, "You know I don't like that. Tell me," I coaxed softly. Kissing the side of his head.

I watched him squirm for a minute, feeling the chaotic energy coming off his skin as he tried to piece together whatever thoughts he needed before mumbling so low that I'm sure the only way I could have heard it was because of my heightened hearing, "I'm unworthy, undeserving and undesirable. I don't deserve to be here."

I stared at him hard trying my absolute best to not let the flames of my rage be shown. I already fucked up once letting my anger get out and nearly scared him to death so I had to be good...at least when he was in my lap more fragile than usual. I must have been too still because he began to squirm again.

"I'm going to tell you a secret kitten, will you listen?" I asked holding him tighter and feeling my anger tone down.

His doe eyes wondered around making me want to coo at him before he gave a small nod.

"I've never truly.... confessed my feelings for anyone or anything," I say wetting my lips, "However, you are the most important being in my life. I have no idea what you've done to me but I would destroy whole worlds for you. I meant every word I said to you last night but I'll say it again so you'll understand completely," Grabbing his chin, I tilted his head up to make him look me in the eyes," You are my religion. I would fall from Grace a million times if it meant I could be near you. I, Abanoub, God of darkness, evil, the dead, war, and chaos am at your beck and call. If you told me to go East, I would never go West. I am tied to your body, soul, and essence. Literally, kitten. I am yours. Do you know why?"

His eyes glazed over as he shook his head. I gave my most genuine smile that was reserved solely for him, chuckling when his cheeks turned the cutest pink shade, "Because I love you."
