The Devil's Son: I Am No Angel

Chapter Twenty Four: Mon Seul et Unique

‘Mon Seul Et Unique.’ Shane repeats out loud and smiled. Although she didn’t understand it, she couldn’t help but feel so sweet in her stomach. It must be something sweet which made her wonder who he is even more. She could feel him caresses her mind and she could feel that he loves her too.

She was already all dress and ready for a long sleep when someone knocked on her door. ‘Come in.’ she said as she climbs into her bed not bothering who that is. Then, the red head boy came in with a concern look on his face, but that concern look on his face wear off immediately when he see her in only her spaghetti strap shirt and shorts. ‘What do you want Chad?’ She asked bluntly. ‘Grr….. Can I want you?’ He asked playfully which made her giggles. ‘No, Chad.’ She replied with a fake stern tone. Quietly, he climbs himself into her bed next to her. She glared at him with suspicion. ‘Shane, what’s wrong with you?’ Chad asked with concern. He must be asking about what had happened to her. Obviously, it must have seems weird for her to just gasp and stares into the air like that. But it was because of the link. Chad is her best friend and she trusts him completely. So she spat out all of that to him.

Instead seeing him filled with anger on the fact that she might probably be a soul mate of a Damn, his eyes was filled with jealousy. Those eyes she had seen when she told him she is going on a date with Damian. Somehow, she could see that Chad has more than a brotherly feel to her. But she discards that idea away, because she knows that Chad isn’t such a person. ‘Wow, you’re linked with a man that is probably a Damn, some luck you have there.’ He said playfully as he tries to hide his jealousy. She ignores what she had just caught and continues her playful self. ‘Yeah, tell me about it. Chad, please don’t tell anyone else.’ She begged.

‘Shane, you know you need to tell him.’ Chad said. Knowing who he is, she couldn’t reply. ‘Well, I wouldn’t be the one to do it, but still your father deserves to know.’ Chad added.  ‘I know.’ She replied. Chad softly ruffles her hair with a smile. ‘I’ll always be here for you.’ Chad said as he got out of the room. ‘And I keep you long enough for your father to talk to that Damian guy.’ He said cheekily. Instantly, she got angry. ‘Hey!’ She throws her pillow at him as he coward out the room.

Quickly, she pulls a pair of long pants on and ran down the stairs. She didn’t know why she felt so excited to see him again even after what he had done. Somehow, she can’t bring herself to hate him. But why would he come here so late at night? It is already middle of the night. She moves into the studies where both her father and Damian are in. Even before she got in, she could feel a heavy atmosphere from it. She didn’t want to go in yet. Although eavesdropping isn’t a good thing to do, she still couldn’t help herself. She peered into the small gap between the door and she could see Damian sat casually with his legs crossed and his arms at both side of the sofa. But her father was sitting in a very defensive way. It was like he was ready to jump at Damian anytime.

‘What are you? Answer me honestly.’ Her father asked sternly. Damian smiled smugly at her father. ‘Mr. Aragon, I think you know the answer already.’ He said. ‘I know but I want to hear it from you. Tell me.’ Her father said. Damian smiled even wider. ‘It is odd how now my powers are coming back I could actually read your mind. Yes, I am what you think I am.’ Damian replied. ‘What do you want from us? What do you want from my daughter?’ Her father asked with a tone shows that he was holding back his anger.

‘I need protection.’ Damian said. Both Shane and her father frowned in confusion. ‘You need protection? Even if you need protection, do you think I would agree? No matter what you are, you are still half devil. I will not protect such sin creature.’ Her father replied. ‘If you do not protect me when I go through my transition, Earth will be a living hell.’ Damian said with the same serious tone as her father. Her father stared at Damian dumbfounded. ‘And for what I need from your daughter, that is none of your concern.’ Damian added. Her father instantly got furious. ‘None of my concern? I am her father, it concerns me!’ Her father shouted.

‘Sir, I would explain to you if I could, but there are a certain things that need to time before I could do it.’ Damian said with his eyes turning to where Shane was hiding. Immediately, Shane realized that she got caught. ‘Eavesdropping isn’t a good habit, missy.’ Damian said playfully. Quietly, Shane got out from where she was hiding and got into the room. Her father looks at her with eyes of disbelief. She caught Damian smiling at her smugly and somehow with eyes of admiration as well. He looks up and down as he admires her body and she could see her father glaring at Damian furiously. ‘Dad, I haven’t forgives you yet. So, stop that. You have no right to bug into my life. You! What are you? Obviously, both of you know what you are, so tell me now.’ Shane said with anger. ‘No, missy. You have to figure it out yourself.’ Damian said with a smile on his face that told her that is a need. When she turned to her father, her father’s eyes were widely opened with shock as though he just realized something.

‘No! She is not that!’ Her father said with anger and disbelief to Damian. ‘No point denying it, Mr. Aragon.’ Damian said with a smug smile on his face. ‘What? What am I that is so bad?’ She asked with confusion. ‘No, missy, you’re not bad at all.’ Damian said to Shane with his gentlest smile which made her heart flutters. Which was wrong, she wasn’t supposed to feel so much for Damian. She has a soul mate and feeling such an emotion to another man is call cheating. She shook her head hard to remove that feeling.

‘Shane, tell me you haven’t felt something this few days.’ Her father, Eric said with fear in his voice. Shane felt something was off. She hasn’t exactly felt something alone. She would cower away from this but Chad was right, her father deserves to know. ‘I just realized that I have a soul mate and I am linked with him by a Soul Chain.’ She said. Instantly, her father felt back to the sofa weakly with shock and disappointment. Had he known who she would be a soul mate too? Is he truly that bad? Those questions run through her mind. ‘Dad, do you know who he is?’ She asked softly. Her father looked at her for a second and then smiled. ‘Go away, Damian. I will consider your protection but I will not allow you any nearer to my daughter! You should leave now.’ Her father said proudly with satisfaction in his voice.

Damian stood up and quietly adjusted his shirt with a smile on his face that shown no fear. ‘Mr. Aragon, she will be mine.’ Damian said sternly. Damian softly brushes his hand against Shane’s back to send an electrifying pleasure down her spine. She shivers with pleasure which she could only imagine Damian smiling even more smugly. When Damian was already out of the house, she could feel her father boring his eyes into her.

‘I will not allow it no matter what!’ Eric shouted and stormed off to his room. She didn’t understand why her father would be like that. But then, she could understand one thing. That somehow, Damian is linked to the facts about her having a soul mate. Those Damian knows who my soul mate is? She thought.

She could feel a soft caress on her mind and instantly she smiled widely. You’ll learn, mon seul et unique. I will wait for you no matter what. I thank you for stopping me, mon seul et unique. Her soul mate said to her with his British accent.

A sudden pinch of guilt begins to build from her stomach, she somehow felt as though she had betrayed her soul mate for liking what Damian had done by just brushing his hands at her back. She felt as though she had wrong him. She felt like she didn’t deserve to have a soul mate at all. Don’t, I don’t deserve you. She thought to him with her heart aches in pain. She can’t love two men at once. She isn’t the kind to do such a thing. She despises herself for doing so. She begged for him to hate her, at least like that she would feel better. I understand, love. I understand how you feel mon seul et unique. He thought to her. She felt her heart clenches even more.

She felt someone patted her shoulder and she turned to see Chad standing behind of her eyes filled with concern. She could feel tears stinging her eyes. She isn’t the type to cry over man, but this is just too much for her. Chad hugged her tightly in his arms and she felt a flush of warmth flow through her body. But it wasn’t by Chad’s hold, it was by her Soul Mate, he was sending her his feelings to reassure her. No matter what, I will be there for you, mon seul et unique. She heard him thought. She couldn’t help but guess that mon seul et unique is in French. She knew Chad speaks French and instantly she pushed Chad to face him. ‘Chad, what does mon seul et unique means?’ She asked. Chad smiled widely. ‘It means, my one and only.’ Chad replied. She felt her stomach warmth with love and loved all that.
