Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 55: Favored

Evangeline looked towards her friends as they still had a lot to open up to the moon goddess. Her heart desire was simple and straightforward; I want to be reconnected to Ree-ree again. She rose to her feet and decided to leave the hall to explore the temple that was big enough to be regarded as a castle. It shows in everything they do that they really fancy this God.

She moved down an open corridor in which half of the ceilings were covered in ice. She stared up at it and was wowed by how the ice managed to add to the unique beauty of this place. Evangeline explored many interesting rooms of this temple and made sure to take note of her paths so she wouldn’t get lost. The sight of the sun setting was so ethereal that she wanted to be here forever.

It cast a warm glow on the sheets of ice around her and the cool evening breeze messed with her hair. She could see the huge and impressive structures of the ice wall from up here. The villages and the home of the alpha king resembled a castle completely frozen by ice. Her home on top of a hill guarded by ice walls and the blue roofs that makes up the village.

She leaned on the frozen railings with a sigh.

Why a werewolf?

I could be any other thing.

If I died in my world, does mom miss me?

Are there people mourning over my grave and wishing I wasn’t gone or did she just get over it and move on with her life?

I wonder what’s going on now in my world.

’’Eva? There she is.’’

She turned to her friends and noticed the sun has completely disappeared from the sky and the stars were already out.

How long has she been leaning here spacing out and thinking?

She stared at the both of them as they walked down to where she was and that was when she realized just how much she misses her old life even though it was nowhere as good as this new one.

At least she didn’t have the faith of the people resting on her shoulders and there wasn’t any diabolical entity that leads an army of demons to rob people of their peace of mind.

That life was an endless battle of survival and dealing with shits you don’t like.

’’We were looking everywhere for you,’’ They said while standing by her sides as darkness surrounds them. The faint outline of the moon peeking behind a cloud could be seen in the sky. ’’We thought you left.’’

She would have if she wasn’t that scared of climbing down the mountain all by herself.

’’Why do you all call her the moon goddess? Does she not have a more personal name than that title?’’

She remembered their grandmother calling her one unique name apart from the moon goddess.

’’Of course she has a name. Ira. But it is disrespectful for us that has yet to ascend the age of total wisdom to call her by her name. So, we just stick to calling her the moon god or goddess.’’ Layla explained.

Age of wisdom? What’s that?

It is just a term to refer to those that have aged enough. The elders of our world and the immortal plane.

Evangeline nodded in understanding as Vesta explained. She wondered what would happen if she called her by her name. Would the savior of the world be shunned or rebuked because of it?

’’Her title was given to her because of her obsession with the moon. Legend has it that she favors the moon more than anything else, and it receives the most care before we do. We are her second most favorite creation,’’ Layla concluded with pride flashing brightly in her green eyes.

Evangeline looked at her and suppressed the urge to shake her head at them. They were all so delusional to think a God would care so much to name them their favorite. Everything they do wouldn’t be done if it doesn’t please or favors them in return.

’’So, where you open enough to let her read the desires of your heart?’’

Evangeline nodded though what she did was to threaten the Goddess.

Bring Ree-ree to me, or I am telling everyone you killed their beloved princess to welcome the soul of an alien to live her life.

’’Yeah, I tried.’’

Layla smiled with pride.

’’That’s good. Though you are supposed to spend more time with her than just standing up to leave. You wait for her to fix and mend every part of your soul or self that needs repair. You let her fill you up with her peace and love.’’

Evangeline wouldn’t be needing a goddess love to survive. She has never been the religious type of person in her past life. The only thing she believed in was what she felt for her imaginary lover, and he is basically the only idol in her life she respects and worships.

’’She would be so happy that you came to visit her. The one chosen to save her creation from the Demon prince.’’

Evangeline frowned and turned around completely to face her.

’’I thought you said she might not be happy to see me because I rejected that loser?’’

Sisi chuckled.

’’Yes, she might be angry at you for rejecting the mate you asked her for. To tell the truth, you are the first person she has ever listened to when it comes to mates. She has never answered anyone’s prayers on whom they wished to be paired with. You are the first and that is a clear sign that you are highly favored by her, Evangeline.’’

Wow. That doesn’t look like I was favored. It looked more like she wants me dead when I asked to be paired up with someone she should know wanted to use and dispose me as trash.

It’s like asking for suffering from a god who knows this individual would do nothing but cause you pain and agreeing to pair them up.

How are they not seeing the many red flags of this Goddess? Or is she the one that is overthinking this?

Evangeline sighed. She couldn’t blame them when they are ignorant of the nasty plans Alpha dickhead has for her once their mating ceremony was complete. Thank god she took over at the right time and not when she has been fully bonded to that monster!

Things would have been much more difficult than it was now.
