His Demoness Princess (MEGA HIATUS)

Chapter 9

"To think..... You were gone..... You just had to come back and fuck up our happy life!" A feminine voice spoke to Luci harshly, Luci remained still. To be honest she hadn't heard the woman walk in at all even if she did she wouldn't still have cared that she was there, she just didn't want him to go after anyone she loved, to hurt them. Especially her mate, only God knows what that would do to him, his mental health and happiness. She didn't want any of that for him, Luci was going to keep him the way he is for as long as possible.

"Oh? So you ignore me?! Well!" The woman cackled evilly before Luci felt something hot go close to her forehead and she flinched and jolted upwards, moving away from the heat then accidentally hit her head to the stone wall behind her, making her headache worse. She looked at the woman to see it was Hannah and Luci's eyes widened at what she held in her hand.

"A branding rod...? What the fuck?!" She said looking at the woman as if she was insane, which she was. "Oh you like it? It was perfectly designed for you.... Unfortunately Jackie said I couldn't use it on you.... But I could torture you." She said putting it closer to Luci who was frozen in place. Not out of fear. Never, she'd never allow herself to bow down before this pitiful weakling of a woman. But in this case she couldn't beat her, she didn't have a chance unless she wanted them to harm her loved ones. She knew Jackriel would take it that far as well, she knew that from experience.

"Now~ Let's get started"

===============================================================================

The woman sat in a big puddle of her own blood, her body was bruised and beaten. There were cuts scattered around her form, old ones and fresh ones. She didn't make a sound though, her eyes remained closed, her head hung low onto her knees. She stayed in the positions they left her in most of the time, she was like a husk at this point only opening her mouth to thank guards that would bring her food and put a bit of dessert on the plate.

Luciano didn't react to the beatings and torture methods they used anymore, she was just numb now. Her only reasons to live was the fact that she was a demon no matter how much power she didn't have at that and slightly was Quinn, the fact that she knew he was still alive and kicking was her motivation. To say Luci looked like a corpse was an understatement, her body was littered with cuts that possibly were infected and still bleeding, her body had brandings on it that were leaking blood as well. Her left eye was now a blood waterfall behind her eyelid. She couldn't see out of that eye anymore, they stabbed her in the eye for not participating in their activities.

Her body had been burning up for the past few days and she had a fever, she probably had hyperthermia at this point. She was still naked and being in the musty cell with bleedings wounds wasn't helping her case one bit. "Luna I'm back! Sorry.... I can't get you out... He'll kill my wife and children-" The guard exclaimed before he even got to the cell, once he did though his eyes widened "I understand Caleb... I appreciate your efforts as little as they may be" Luciano mumbled to the guard as he had stepped inside the cell and looked at Luci with sorrow. She lifted her head and looked at him, opening her eyes for the first time in a while, blood pooled out of her left eye and down her cheek. The guard, Caleb teared up a little at the sight of his Luna "I'll get help for you.... I promise" he whispered reassuringly to her, knowing full well it wouldn't probably sway her emotions. He looked up to Luci as a son would their own mother. "I remember when you were a child Caleb... You've become a sweet young man. I'm proud of what you've become when you work for people like him" she said him with utter hatred when she was referring to Jackriel, her voice was hoarse and raspy since she hadn't opened her mouth in a while. Caleb flinched a little at her distasteful tone.

"You're like the mother I never had Luna.... Keep sane for me, alright? I'll get you out of here, I promise" Caleb said with a determined look on his features. Caleb expected Luciano to say something when she opened her mouth but was surprised when her her lips quirked upwards a bit. "Get out of here before they think you're being nice to me or something.... Tell your wife I said congratulations" she whispered before her somewhat of a smile faded and her eyes closed. Caleb waited a few seconds for her to say something else but when she didn't he sighed and turned away "I'll get you out... I promise" he thought before leaving her cell.

Just a few hours after he left the dungeon came a heavier set of footsteps, Luciano inhaled deeply to catch the smell and smelt Jackriel's atrocious odor, he smelt of cigarette smoke and whore. She sighed quietly as she repeated her mantra before he even touched her to get her body to numb itself, a useful skill she required overtime. To her surprise they stopped just in front of her and then silence, nothing happened after, no beatings, no burning her. This peaked her interest somewhat, it could've been a trap but she didn't care at this point.

She peaked her working eye open to look up at him and saw him with a plate in his hand, looking down at her. She knew better than to trust him and turned her head causing him to growl at her warningly. "Fuck off. I don't want it" she spat bitterly. That just made him even angrier and he huffed, spinning on his heel and leaving her cell. "Good riddance" she thought and relaxed against the stone wall and leaning her head up against it, leaving her neck exposed. She let out a sigh that turned into a choked out gargle as her eyes had popped open and roll back into her head, blood poured out from her throat, she looked up at Jackriel as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Ah... Finally going to cry I see... How cute." He said before smashing his lips onto hers, Luciano bit down on his tongue hard as a reaction and caused Jackriel to scream and slice her cheek open with the knife that he slit her throat with. That only caused her to bite down harder, tearing a good half of his tongue off with her fang like teeth. He didn't have time to punish her instead he spun on his heel and ran out of the dungeon screaming as tears fell down his face, Luciano turned her head then spat his tongue out to the side "What did you think was gonna happen bitch?" She chuckled softly as she muttered before falling into a deep slumber.
