Mated To The Demon Prince-Chapter 99: Loved

Evangeline ran with all her might the moment she heard Xalith has regained consciousness. She barged into the room he was being taken care of with heavy breaths as he saw him indeed awake, seated on his bed as he was being fed by Andrea and the others making sure he was as comfortable as he could be.

Everyone stared at her with a widened gaze knowing she ran all the way here to see him. Even she could not understand why she did that. She and Prince Xalith locked gaze with each other for the longest time before Andrea interrupted them by clearing her throat.

’’Oh, I just remembered I haven’t finished that letter I was writing.’’ She gave the rest of their mates weird side glances for them all to come up with excuses to have them be all alone in this room.

’’Oh–oh... Remembered I haven’t sharpened my axe enough.’’

’’My...my pet fish...sebash...hasn’t been fed yet?’’

Evangeline frowned at Lucy, knowing she didn’t come to this place with any fish for a pet.

’’Need to test my giant strength by breaking more boulders.’’

Slowly they all stood up with their excuses to leave the room. Eva felt betrayed by the sly wink Andrea gave her on her way out and stiffened when she dared close the door behind them.

It was awkward after they left, but Xalith had something to distract himself with by trying to lift the spoon to continue taking that soup.

Eva let out a soft sigh before rounding his bed and settling down beside him. Their hands touched briefly as she collected the spoon from him and slowly began to misk the soup together before gently feeding him the spoon.

The silence between them was choking and not to talk of how he refused to tear his gaze from her the entire time she fed him.

’’Why did you do that, knowing it’s going to do nothing but drain you completely?’’ She asked, expecting an answer like because you are my friend and I can’t endure watching you being bullied by the demon prince.

’’Because I like you.’’

The spoon filled with soup paused midway from reaching his mouth.

What?!

She thought she misheard him and shrugged that weird feeling that overcame her when he confessed his feeling and continue to force the spoon down his throat.

’’And I will do anything to protect whoever my heart chooses.’’

Evangeline dropped the spoon angrily with a loud clank on the tray as she sighed heavily in frustration at the space before her.

’’Are you always this blunt when it comes to things like this?’’ She attacked with a cold glare.

How dare he do this?

No one is entitled to fall or confess their feelings to her so easily, like she was in dire need of romance or love. No one should do that to her except Ree-ree.

Her hand fisted hard on her lap, enough for it to bleed or be bruised when she found herself doing this again after what occurred to her two nights ago.

Xalith grew enough wings to lean close to her, which surprised Evangeline enough to have her lips parted in shock at his move.

’’And are you always this oblivious to people’s feelings around you, Evangeline. Or it is something you do intentionally?’’

She couldn’t believe this two—headed bastard!

Evangeline? It was weird being called that by him when he usually settled for your highness.

She should have known this was bound to happen! Another one just like Ree-ree trying to sneak into her life, take control of everything and make a big fool out of her.

She better leave this place before she does something she would regret for life to him.

She stood from his bed, only to have her pulled back down beside him. Eva gasped when he moved so close, one of his hands curving around her waist as he brought her impossibly close to him before pressing his soft lips gently on hers. She placed both hands alarmingly on his chest to attempt to push him away. But was taken aback the second time when he brought her to his laps, the other hand leaving her waist to rest affectionately on her cheeks as he passionately devoured her lips.

Claiming it as his.

A tear slipped out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks as this felt so good beyond her imagination. It had her eyes falling close as he molded his lips on hers while wiping the tears away from her cheeks.

When he broke away to brush the loose strands of her hair over her shoulder and away from her face. Evangeline stared at him dumbly and let him clasped his strong arms around hers, bringing her close to his chest.

His hold and touch felt so good that it made her realize how badly she wanted to be held and treated like this. She craved it so much until the point of wanting to die just for it. More tears run down her cheeks at the unexpected person life blessed her with to grant her heart’s deepest desire.

’’Marry me.’’

He said, blowing her mind off to a million pieces.

’’I will take good care of you, Evangeline, if you agree to be mine. I am only looking for one person in this life to complete me. I see that person in you and I want you to be mine forever.’’

She wondered why she couldn’t stop crying. Her heart and entire body has been responding positively to this feeling.

But then something hilarious happened, and it made her cry harder.

The man who had her sitting on her laps and staring at her like she was the most interesting person in this world now had those long, rich dark red hair. His diamond gaze piercing deeply into her soul as he held her tighter and closer.

She gently reached out to touch his face to see if he was indeed real, and he was the one who just kissed her so sweetly and gently. The one that asked her to marry to complete him.

A smile parted her lips as she inched closer to touch her beloved Ree-ree. Her darling monster not believing this could be a hallucination. He took her hand in one of his gloved ones, stopping her from touching him. She stared at him questioningly before the beautiful phantom or imagination of him leaned close to give her another kiss.

This one she melted completely to and submitted to his lust.

It was better than the first, and she wrapped her arms around his neck in a desperate attempt to keep him all to herself. To make this feeling last longer than it should.

Ree-ree kissed her so passionately that she thought she would be drowned completely by his lust. She tried to keep up or have control at some point, but he would force her back to submission with a soft cry.

’’Ree-ree..’’ She moaned out with more tears streaming down her face.

He was amazing.

He was hers.

She still loved him but, at the same time, driven by fear to not want to have anything to do with him.

When he finally gave her room to breathe, the illusion of him faded, and she was back in Xalith’s arm with his eyes pleading with her to say yes to marrying him.

Was that kiss she had with Ree-ree real or was it a nasty trick of her mind?

Ree-ree.

She quickly detangled herself from Xalith’s hold and climbed down from the bed to see if she could still catch the smallest sight of him before he vanishes again.

Darkness stared at his love move about the room searching for him when he was right here—kissed her passionately twice a few seconds ago and hiding in the skin of the one he was so jealous of.

She was so cute.

An adorable piece he wanted to kiss again if possible, pin her beneath him right here and lay his claim on her.

But one thing bothered him the most was her ability to remember everything, despite his efforts to suppress those sweet memories and give her a good life here. Ree-ree was back to holding her bound to the past. This time he wouldn’t try to free her from his strongholds. If that’s the only way he could have her all to himself with no one coming in-between.

He slowly detached himself from the body of Xalith and watched how his unconscious form fall back to the bed. His love, still wandering around the room trying to get a hold of him.

He disappeared, leaving her alone wondering whether being kissed by Ree-ree now was real or not real.
