Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 67: Taste Better
The night before the duel, a hooded figure could be seen moving around the palace and hiding behind the overweight pillars to avoid being seen by the wolf guards patrolling. His forked tongue restless in-between his fangs as he made his way down a partially dark and lonely corridor.
He stepped outside through an open door. He began to move away from the castle. His now red gaze looking fervently for something he could eat.
Though his master never said anything about hunting for food while protecting his werewolf beloved...his slit shaped eyes darkened at the lonely wolf guard dozing off from where he stood in the dark, completely unaware of his presence.
Nothing tastes better than having an enemy for dinner.
With great difficulty, he slowly bent to the back as he underwent his transitioning from a human to his insidious form. Bones cracked and realigned, their structure dissolving as muscle and sinew reshaped beneath the skin. Fingers curled inward, merging into themselves, as nails thickened and darkened into curved, glistening scales. His mouth widening as teeth sharpen into needle-like points. His forked tongue flickering out, tasting the air with an eerie new awareness.
It coiled its large body upon itself as its crimson slit-shaped eyes gleamed with delight at food. It would have begun its hunt towards the unsuspecting wolf guard, but it drew back at the unexpected sight of the she-wolf’s eldest brother, who came to scold the wolf guard from dozing on his duty.
The poor wolf guard bowed completely to the floor to seek forgiveness from the angered prince multiple times before he was dismissed.
Apophis curled silently in the shadows of a large dead tree whose roots were buried in the snow, wondering if it was a good idea to eat the prince because it was starving. That idea went down the drain when the first prince looked restless and a maid joined him by his side with a slight head bow.
Because it was no ordinary snake, it could hear what those two wolves were whispering to themselves. It became oddly interesting when the first prince brought out a small transparent bottle. It was filled with what looked like it had been effortlessly ground and mixed with other things that gave the snake an unsettling feeling. Half of its enormous body moving on the tree as it continued to observe them from afar.
’’I will do just that, Your Highness. You can count on me.’’ She bowed her head again at the prince, respectfully. The prince was the first to return to the palace.
Apophis emerged from the tree now back on his two feet and naked. His eyes fixed on the retreating form of the human as he decided to go after her, knowing her errand tonight was an unusual one.
He followed her straight to where all the meals for all the people living here were being prepared. He made sure to lock the door they came in through so no one would disturb him from having his meal.
Thankfully, they were the only two presents in the room, and he stood in a corner as he watched her quickly prepare four cups of tea before pulling out that bottle to fill one cup of the tea with the foreign substance.
Apophis approached her slowly from behind, watching her lean over the counter with a spoon to mix the tea thoroughly again after adding an extra ingredient.
She paused when she noticed another presence with her in the room, breathing down heavily on her neck. Before she could turn to see who it was—in a blink of an eye, she was gone and being forced mercilessly down its curved body. The skin expanded to accommodate the food he’d just swallowed whole. He didn’t give her a chance to scream.
The snake hissed furiously when her skinny form didn’t quite fill up his hunger, and he immediately switched back to its human form effortlessly. His eyes narrowed on the tea that had been mixed with something else. He grabbed it by the handle and gently poured the content away by a nearby skin before filling up the cup again with a fresh mix that hadn’t been carnally dealt with.
Apophis remained focused as he tried to imitate the form of its last victim. Two small breasts coming out of his broad chest as his waist and chest shrunk more to a feminine size. His pseudo reproductive parts adjusted to look more like the likeness he was introducing himself to. Dark brown hair occupied his head and fell all the way to his back and covered the two nipples of her breasts.
After a while, the transformation was complete, and he got himself accustomed to this new flesh and form.
’’Goddess—Evelyn! Why in the moon’s name are you walking around naked in the kitchen?’’
She turned careful not to fall as it felt weird walking or moving on such smaller and shorter legs. The sight of a robust woman staring at her naked form in horror did not faze her a bit. All she was thinking of was what it would feel like to devour her and lessen her hunger a bit.
She blinked to see the woman recovering from the shock of seeing her naked. She moved around the kitchen fast to stop by a store and approached her with a set of clothes, throwing it at her feet while ordering her to wear it before she gets reported to the Alpha king for indecency.
She began to put on the clothes, and it felt unusual as well.
’’Did you allow Richard to finally fuck you here, and then he left with your clothes?’’
She pushed her left arms into the long sleeves before pushing in her second hand in the other sleeve, surprised as the cloth fitted her perfectly.
The woman seemed disgusted by her, as she couldn’t stop shaking her head at her in repulsion.
’’What happened to waiting until you found your mate? You are going to regret it if Richard finds his and forgets you once existed in his life.’’
She didn’t say anything as she continued to size up the woman before her, wondering how wonderful her night would be if she ate her too.
’’What’s this?’’ She said, bringing her attention back to the tea lying already cold on the silver tray. ’’Refreshments for Prince Zayne, Ezekiel, Ash, and Princess Evangeline in the library?’’
Evelyn looked as if she had been tongue-tied.
The woman gasped again in horror as she poured all the tea away and hurriedly began to prepare new ones. ’’I can’t believe you were having sex with your lover while you let the tea you were asked to prepare by the royals run cold.’’
She said as she dragged a whole bag of tea out of the store, missing the subtle movements of her blackened forked tongue that flickered in and out of her mouth. Tempted to have round two of another meal that would fit perfectly in its stomach. She didn’t look all too skinny and bony.
This could be its sweet dessert.
’’Well, don’t just stand there and gaze at me like I am some food! Come here and help me with the tea, or it is both of our heads that would be chopped on a chopping block tonight by the prince’s.’’
Apophis really wanted to be tempted with a second go, but what if that wicked prince had other plans apart from using different plants ground together that will paralyze his sister for life?
He needs to be out there with Evangeline and close to her side. He needs to keep watch now that she is out there interacting with them should they try any nonsense.
He could come back for his dessert anytime, but now, keeping Evangeline safe and from her newly discovered enemies should be his top priority.
Who would have thought your sibling had in mind for you never moving again? He could never understand why people only pointed hands at his precious master when the other four pointed at them.
She nodded and moved close to the woman. Obediently following her instructions on what to do and what not to do. Once the tea was made, it appeared perfect and up to their taste—the woman lifted the tray and gave it to her.
’’Go have it taken to them now. I saw them last talking at the main library. And please be intelligent enough to apologize for the delay and stop fucking around with someone apart from your mate. You are at a great risk of suffering a heartbreak which can’t be mended.’’
The woman let go of the tray and pushed Evelyn out of the kitchen to have that delivered to the main library.
She stared down at the four cups of tea on the silver tray within her grasp and welcomed a silly idea as she stared at one.
