Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 71: Hers
The following day, her dad, the alpha king, came to her room that morning to speak with her. He was relieved to see her handling the death of her brothers more maturely than them. If only they knew she was not really their daughter, they might not have the heart or mind to survive another heartbreak.
He praised her for being the strong girl they’ve always expected her to be. And the biggest bombshell she had to bear from that day was...
She will be crowned as the next future alpha king in three days.
For the rest of the day, Evangeline did not know what or how to feel anymore. Everything was happening so fast that she could not keep up. Majority of it she didn’t want, but she had no choice but to go with the flow as she wasn’t given a choice on this transmigration either.
It then dawned on her again and fear settled in her heart at the fact of this life being hers completely and her old life and self will just be a memory she will only slowly recollect.
Like a dream, the life she had with Ree-ree will be from this day until forever.
Her future wasn’t unknown, as it was in her old life. She was going to be the alpha king of this world, and she was also going to be the force that will stand up to this great evil.
It wasn’t the future the people in her old world prayed for, but it is the best here.
She checked on her mother twice but every time she went the poor woman was sleeping. A sleeping concoction was made for her to stop her from crying. But it looks like the drug was not strong enough to stop her pain from happening in her sleep.
Evangeline rose from the bed beside her mom the moment her father came in to check on his mate.
She saw how his heart broke at the sight of her sleeping form. Evangeline has always wanted to understand the bond between mates in this world, so she decided to stick around and watch.
He knelt beside her bed and wrapped one of her hands in his, lowering his head as he sobbed to himself. They must have gone through so much together. It would be the hardest to understand that they’ve lost all five of their children and not four. Two of which she was responsible for?
It was so unfair to them. The guilt she was feeling was overwhelming. He stood by her side, staring and holding her hands as she slept to forget about everything.
Eva left to give them some space and was now troubled with her problems. The one that gave her the most headache was the task she was meant to complete in a few days time. The task given to her grandmother to be accepted and favored by her.
If not for the guilt she felt, she wouldn’t really care about being accepted by a woman who doesn’t age and is heavily influenced by a god that seemed so good to be true.
She was literally the only person these people have left. It would be a shame to disappoint them.
That prompted her to stay awake until she was sure everyone was asleep. She rolled out from her bed and fished out the cloth that was the most suitable for this secret mission she was going to be engaging with tonight.
A dark brown bag made out from a peculiar animal skin was slinging from her shoulder as she made sure she was covered as much as possible. She pulled out a pair of white winter boots and put them on. While doing so, she made sure not to make any unnecessary noise, or she would be explaining to the whole family why she was setting out to the realm of demons in the dead of the night. To look for the soul-seeking fruit she had no idea of its purpose or how to identify it.
But it was the realm of demons she was heading to. Their land shouldn’t be that fertile enough to have that much fruit to be able to guess which is the soul-seeking fruit.
She nodded her head and crept out of her room as quietly as possible.
But why does it feel so scandalous going on with this task?

He laid by her side, not willingly to let go of her hands.
He had never seen a woman this strong and fit to be his queen.
He leaned close to kiss her gently on her forehead and allowed her to bury herself in his embrace.
’’You must be so ashamed to have me as your mate, isn’t it?’’ She sobbed as he continued to stroke her hair and play with the loose strands of her hair in-between his fingers. He still did not understand why she has been like this ever since the incident. It was hurtful to know how she thinks her value before him would fall just because they had no control over some demonic events in their life. ’’Maybe you should plead with your mother to ask for a second mate from the moon goddess so you could—’’
He shut her up with a kiss while bringing her close to himself. His act caught her off by surprise, but she slowly welcomed him and melted to his touch. Tears of relief washed down her eyes to know that she might have failed according to everyone by losing all four of her children in less than two years, but she was still wanted by him.
He was her love.
She moaned into his kiss softly while curving her arms around his neck to bring him nearer.
Her mate. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
One thing has been made clear, from the first pages of all history books, that no matter what, two souls that have been bonded together and have become one can never truly stay apart except if they aren’t meant to be in the first place.
