Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 75: Whipped

Evangeline let out an ear-piercing scream. It was so loud that most demons had to cover their ears when Akasha didn’t waste a moment to deliver the first two slashes of the burning whip. One across her left arm which tore through her thick clothes and skin and blood began to drip from it. The second one could be felt on her back, which had the poor girl collapsing on the floor in pain.

She screamed, stressing on all her vocal cords as the burning sensation could be felt down to her spine. The painful sting of torn flesh didn’t ease her for a second. Even Vesta howled in uncontrollably pain.

It felt like ten knives were stabbing her badly after being heated with hot coal. Tears pooled out from her eyes along with her bloodied back and arms, and her life kept flashing before her repeatedly.

All this suffering to be accepted by her grandmother.

Both of her hands began to shake uncontrollably as the pain persisted, burning more than ever before like a fire lit beside a smoke. Her moans and cries could be heard throughout the hall continuously as Lilith prepared to have her turn to wipe the satisfied look on Akasha’s face.

The demons spectating looked terrified by what was going on. They wondered how it got to torture a she-wolf just to prove a point to themselves.

Evangeline avoided another swing of the whip by moving her body. This made Akasha laugh so terribly when Lilith missed a swing, causing her hold on the handle to tighten as she glared at Evangeline murderously, determined to end her life with a single swing.

She missed again, and Evangeline was determined not to have any other part of herself assaulted once more by the whip. She began to crawl over to the exit of this hall the moment she spotted it.

’’Look, she is getting away. The prey even feels disgusted to be assaulted by you.’’

Lilith’s jaw ticked as she looked around to see everyone staring at her. Their faces telling her she wasn’t capable enough to land a single swing on a helpless, defenseless she-wolf?

She began to follow the she-wolf with determination fired with rage and jealousy, when Evangeline managed to pull herself to her feet and began to dash towards the entrance for her life.

The sound of the demon’s whip after her and cutting through the air with angered sounds pumped her to run faster than a deer being chased by a lion, despite the pain she bore.

Lilith cursed when she was getting close to escaping and increased her pacing, thrashing her whip so violently in pursuit that Evangeline cried so loudly as she continued to run for her dear life. She does not think she could survive another of that painful thing on her again.

How could a whip be so painful and itchy down to her core?

It was starting to feel like it was laced with poison when her vision began to do a funny, weird dance and her legs started feeling numb.

Akasha’s laughter echoed through the hall like haunting music as she watched both of them chase each other. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Lilith wasn’t really a good runner.

It was a flaw coming from a demon who was ranked high.

There were so many things she noted she did wrong. So many opportunities she missed landing a perfect swing at her prey. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she hasn’t yet familiarized herself with her whip.

Evangeline’s hands wrapped around the solid gold handles of the door to this hall. Her body fell on it as she held on to the handles for support—breathing heavily as her left leg was now completely paralyzed. It felt like she was trying to move a rock rather than her left leg, and it was incredibly painful when forcing it to move.

She was about to push through the doors to hide behind it until she recovers when another muscle-rippling whip connected with her nape and down to her bloodied back.

’’Ahhhhhh! God!!!!!’’ Eva cried out.

She used the last of her strength to force one of the doors open and let her body fall through the opening it created.

What she didn’t expect was to fall directly into the arms of someone. The doors began to open completely to reveal her oppressor swinging her whip violently in the air to land another one that could take her life.

For the first time, he was terrified as his hold tightened around her, bringing her to himself, moving them both at the last seconds to take the hit.

Everywhere felt deathly still the moments Lilith’s whip tore through his back with a deafening slash. The whole room’s eyes widened in horror as their mouths fell agape at his unexpected return.

He told them he would be back after three nights.

Apophis watched in horror as little drops of blood seeped through the cut on his back and it slowly began to heal.

He held her close and still in his arms, equally terrified and confused by many things. He couldn’t believe his hands were shaking to receive her sobbing uncontrollably as she clung to him for her dear life.

His heart broke over and over again and all he could do was hold her. Her blood stained his gloved palm. His other hand was placed at the back of her head as he kept her securely to himself. Eternal eyes moving back and forth wondering how and why she was in the dungeons.

The last thing she heard as she was embraced by him was his steady yet fast beating heart. An indescribable yet unfamiliar feeling of peace washed through her senses as he made her feel so safe and protected until the point of a tear slipping down her face as she slept.

His hold felt so similar ... .too similar to go unnoticed. But she was in so much pain to process anything.

The moment she was completely still in his arms. Apophis marched forward to collect her from him. He paused confused when his master moved back quickly in fear thinking he was also coming and intending to harm his beloved by taking her away from him. His hold around her possessively as he told everyone to back away with his glares.

Lilith was the most traumatized at what she’d just done. The trouble she was in and the injury she’d just foolishly caused to the master they all desired.

What troubled everyone the most was why he has yet to let go of the she-wolf in his arms.

She was still bleeding, and it made him lose his mind more.

He gently carried her up bridal style in his arms which made the majority of the demons in the room fall back in both shock and horror.

Many fell in disbelief at what was happening.

Lilith just stood there in the middle of the room with her whip laying limp in her arms in unadulterated confusion and jealousy.

Darkness turns to the closest demon by his left who immediately lowered his head and fell to his feet in submission.

’’Have the demons in-charge and gifted with healing follow me at once.’’

’’Y-yes, Your Darkness!’’

He gave Lilith one last look. One deadly enough to terrorize a whole generation before turning on his heels and leaving immediately to attend to the she-wolf in his arms.

Eve moved down the stairs and ran to her sister who still looked shell shocked as Akasha continued to laugh wickedly behind them.

Eve’s heart broke into pieces at the terrified yet hurt look on her sister’s face. Her trembling hands leaned to wipe the tears falling from her cheeks as they embraced each other for what is to come after this.

’’Looks like he was never pleased with any of you before,’’ Akasha mocked.

He moved fast down a set of dark and forbidden halls with hundreds of healers trying to catch up with him as well as not to do anything else that would anger him the most.

He kicked open one of the rooms he walked past with his leg, the sudden act causing a shiver to tremble down the spines of the old demons as a dangerous aura was oozing out of him.

He was quick to walk straight to the large bed and carefully laid his beloved on her stomach to reveal her bloodied back. The sight and the amount of blood will give him nightmares. He stepped back, and one look was enough to have the old demons that specialize in healing gather around the she-wolf to begin their work on her.

He paced around the room as he watched them closely and began to set up their healing tools and materials to stop the bleeding.

He stiffened when one of them began to take off her winter clothes and draw down the one underneath to reveal her bleeding back to them.

Before anyone could lay their disgusting claws on her, Darkness changed his mind.

’’Leave.’’

Everyone paused to stare at him confused.

’’Leave everything else behind but your miserable selves.’’

He was still angry at them for allowing such ridiculousness to happen without him approving of it. It’s like they have all decided to be doing whatever they please from now on without acknowledging him as their king again.

The cost of their rebellion and foolishness would be remembered by him, and he wouldn’t hesitate to remind them all that he was still in-charge.
