"You should have knelt down when I asked you to. You shouldn't have challenged me but you did. Now, you will see my warth."
"I am begging you, stop this." she tried again, maybe he will change his mind. It wasn't her fault she couldn't bow down to him. She just can't.
Dark didn't say a word, instead he knelt down between her open legs and leaned down to bite hard on one of her breasts drawing out blood from it and Raziah cried out from the pain. Sucking the breast and blood together. He moaned when her blood trailed down his throat.

There they met one of the Princes of Hell; Belphagor, who offered them powers greater than the Creator but in exchange for Zelina who is a beautiful Dragon Queen. Barwolf and Gerwulf fought and defeated Zelina and offered her to Belphagor and he fulfilled his promises. After they left, Belphagor summoned his remaining four brothers and they rap.ed Zelina for six days and then they throw her into the River of Darkness.
But Zelina didn't die, when she woke up, she saw herself at the bank of the River of Darkness on the other side. Feeling disgusted with herself and what the Princes of Hell has done to her, Zelina killed herself. But the child growing in her womb didn't die.
Out of greed for more powers, Barwolf killed Gerwulf, stole his powers and ruled over his kingdom.

Dark mind.
Dark heart.
Dark soul.
Being hated by Him is dangerous. But being wanted by Him is lethal.
Get ready for a wild ride.
Chapter 1
The Dangerous King (Enemies To Lovers Werewolf Romance Series Book 1)
❤️ Demon's Attack (Part 1) ❤️
He has a visitor early this morning and he knows why she is here.
"Where is Raziah?" Barwolf Omar asked one of his wives.
Faith, who was the first wife, pointed at a direction with shaky hands.
"You know where she is, why are you asking us?" she whispered to him. She was eating at the table with two other women.
"Or do you want to force words inside our mouths and have us killed just like she has done with the others." Kate, Barwolf's second wife said.
"Don't mind him, he is pretending as if he doesn't know what his daughter can do." Ama, his third wife, spoke.
Faith, Kate and Ama are the only surviving wives of Barwolf. Raziah had made sure she had killed the other wives against any little argument. They had both learned how to shut their mouths and not throw insults whenever Raziah was around.
Heaving out a deep sigh, Barwolf headed towards the direction Faith had pointed.
Walking out of the Palace building, he heads for the earth-bermed building at the far end of the palace compound, behind the Palace building.
Opening the door without knocking, he walked inside the large room which has only a bed and a chair and paused in his movement when he saw his daughter.
Raziah Omar was seen cleaning a pale body with care, a female body and afterwards carrying her to the bed. The female didn't make a sound or move any part of her body. She just lay still.
"You do realize my dear child that, that's your mother who died fifty years ago. Taking care of her dead body won't bring her back Raziah you have to let the dead go so that she can rest in peace." Barwolf told his daughter even though he was scared. The only person who wasn't scared of Raziah was her mother, Mary, but she is gone.
Raziah growled but didn't reply her father. She covered her dead mother with a duvet and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.
"Mother, what should I do to the one who had caused you so much grief and pain?" Raziah asked aloud to the hearing of Barwolf and placed one of her ears to her mother's mouth and started nodding her head. "That is a good idea, I will punish him for you." She turned around and stared angrily at her father, her eyes narrowed.
Barwolf clutches his throat as he begins to fight whatever invisible hold that was holding his throat. Then slowly, he was being lifted up.
"You have no right to tell me what I should do for my mother," Raziah said to him, tilting her head to one side. "Remember I am the King."
"I am sorry." Barwolf choked out with difficulties and he fell down in a thud.
"Why are you here?" she asked, still angry.
Getting up to his feet and coughing. His daughter always finds a way to disgrace him. If he had known that she would turn out to be this evil he would have killed her when Mary gave birth to her but no, he was in need of a child and it seems like the Creator had his prayers and gave him Raziah probably to punish him. He is reaping from his sins.
"She is here, the Queen of the Hobgoblin Kingdom is here," he answered. Delaying his daughter's question might bring another wrath on himself.
That brought a smile on Raziah's face and she hurried out of the room followed closely by her father.
__
Raziah Omar, a hundred year old she-wolf, was a tall lady with shoulder length hair. Her dark eyes and brain are always calculating when next to do evil. Standing proudly at six foot and taller than all the whole she-wolves combined. Raziah was beautiful and even though people were scared of her, those who have been opportune to see her face would have referred her to that of an Angel if her heart weren't as dark as darkness.
"Well well well, if it isn't the Hobgoblin Queen in my Palace. If I remember your words correctly you told me to go to hell. Well hell is too busy to accept someone like me and unfortunately for you and your shortness I have a very long life to live." Raziah taunts the shorter woman.
The Queen of Hobgoblin closed her eyes as she remembered when Raziah had paid her a visit to her kingdom two weeks ago. Her warriors had blocked her at the gate of her kingdom before she was being informed of Raziah's presence. Raziah had told her she wanted her kingdom and when she refused Raziah laughed her insane laughter and left.
"Two weeks. I am giving you two weeks for you to change your mind or face my wrath."
The Queen of Hobgoblin had scoffed at her words even when she was shaking with fear on the inside. She has heard the story of what Raziah had done to Gnome Kingdom (they are the creatures who are physically deformed; usually hunchbacked, resembling a dry, gnarled old man.) and the Giant kingdom and didn't know her kingdom would be next.
That night after Raziah visit the demons had attacked.
If anyone had told her she would come crawling back to Raziah she would have laughed to the person's face.
"Are you ready to hand over your kingdom to me peacefully or should I send the Gnome and the Giant to do that for me?" Raziah said. "Cause believe me if I attack your kingdom myself, I will pluck out one of your eyes and keep as my trophy."
"No, I am not here for war, my King. I came here because my Kingdom is under attack by demons. You know we hunt our food at night but ever since the demon attack started two weeks ago, my people are going hungry and would starve to death if nothing is done." The Queen of Hobgoblin told Raziah, bowing her head at the taller girl.
"The demons are back?" Raziah asked. She wasn't expecting the demons to return after she had killed one thousand of them when they attacked her kingdom and the other kingdoms. She was the only wolf, the only one who could kill them.
"They are back my King." The Queen of Hobgoblin answered.
That's strange. If they are truly back then where are they coming out from? Where are they hiding?
"And you didn't bother to inform me of their attack when it happened the first time?"
"I'm sorry my King, I thought we could-"
Interrupting her.
"You could what? Kill them? You can't kill them, they are strong, fast and nothing can kill them, no magic can kill them. The only person who can defeat them is me." Raziah told her proudly. She wasn't lying.
The first time the Demon's had attacked them, no magic or sword could penetrate them except her Wolf.
"I am sorry for not informing you, my King." The Queen of Hobgoblin apologized.
"How much will you pay me to get rid of the demons for you. I must tell you my price is high, it might cost you your kingdom." Raziah smiled which lit up her beautiful face.
The Queen of Hobgoblin looked at Raziah in surprise then now her head.
"You are our King," the Queen of Hobgoblin started to say, staring briefly at Barwolf who was quiet then back at Raziah. "It is your duty to save us from danger if we can't handle it."
Chapter 2
❤️ Demon's Attack (Part 2) ❤️
"I know that I am your King but the lives of my subjects depend on how much you pay me. I can help you if you cooperate or you can lose your lives and that of your people in the hands of the demon's. But remember this, I will still take over your kingdom." Raziah told the Hobgoblin Queen. "When the money is ready and will help you and your kingdom." she added and without wasting time she turned around and left, heading straight to her room.
The Hobgoblin Queen watched with disbelief at Raziah until the taller lady was out of sight. She wondered if the Giant and Gnome Kingdom had felt when Raziah visited them but unlike them, they didn't have demons lurking around and waiting to feast during the night.
"Don't you know how to control your daughter?" She asked once she was sure Raziah wouldn't hear her. Even at that, she lowered her voice.
Huffing out. "In case you haven't noticed yet, I am a servant in my own kingdom. I am a servant to Raziah."
"How can you allow your daughter to take over you? You are the King and she is calling herself a King."
"Raziah happened to me," Barwolf said, closing his eyes as an old memory entered his mind. He pushed it down and opened it to find the Queen of Hobgoblin staring at him, probably waiting for him to continue. How can he tell her that Raziah had taken his powers, powers that he betrayed Zelina and Gerwulf for, his daughter had taken it away from him with a snap of her finger leaving him at her mercy. He wonders why she keeps him alive with all the things he had done to her and her mother. If he had known this would happened he would have controlled his di.ck and stopped himself from raping Mary, Raziah mother. He sighed, pushing back the ugly memories away. "Raziah happened,'' he added later.
Nodding her head in understanding. No one knows how Raziah could be able to make the King of every supernatural, her own father, to do her bidding.
"So there is nothing else I can do?"
"I'm afraid there is nothing."
"I will be back then, let me think this through."
Barwolf nodded his head and watched The Hobgoblin Queen walk away from the Palace.
__
"Raziah," Barwolf called out as he entered his daughter's room. She was standing close to her bed with her eyes closed and back turned towards him.
"You gave me that name and that is why I haven't cut off your tongue yet for not adding the title 'King' to my name Barwolf."
Barwolf tried not to look terrified but couldn't help it.
"The Hobgoblins are part of your people, you can't ask them to pay you. They can't protect themselves, that's why their Queen was here."
"Barwolf even if it is you that is in trouble and you ask for my assistance. You will still pay me," Raziah said. "Now go and clean my armour and boots, they must be sparkling clean. I know the Hobgoblin Queen will be back to pay me and on your way out, ask them to bring my food or you can. Whichever way you want."
"Why are you bent on humiliating me Raziah?"
"You humiliated my mother, made her go through pains, made her suffer, remember?" She asked, turning around to face him, looking at him straight into his eyes in a cold hardened gaze. "You should be glad this humiliation is small compared to what you made my mother pass through. Have I asked you to walk around the whole kingdom naked? I haven't so don't ever called this simple task I gave you an humiliation."
"I'm sorry for that Raziah I didn't mean to. I was driven by madness from the powe-"
"You killed her and that was your biggest mistake. You never knew the little Raziah who saw everything, the small girl you had rap.ed every night would become torn to your flesh. You never knew this day would come. Go." she commanded.
Barwolf bowed his head in shame and regret and turned to leave the room when Raziah's voice stopped him.
"You may wonder why I haven't killed you yet," Barwolf became tense. "Mother asked me not to kill you and I agreed with her, I mean if I kill you, who will be cleaning my armour and boots for me everyday?" She didn't wait for his answers and dismissed him.
Barwolf quickly left her room. No one knows what he had done to Raziah including his surviving three wives. The only one who had managed to find out was Mary and he had to get her out of his way. He needed a son that will take over him so the thought of impregnating his daughter crossed his mind and he raped Raziah when she was 10 years old. That was 90 years ago. It's been 200 hundred years since he had betrayed Zelina and Gerwulf and a lot of things had changed, he had changed and he regrets a lot of things. He should be glad that Raziah made him her personal servant.
He went to do as he was ordered.
__
Pity. She doesn't feel pity for her father, rather what she felt was real hatred but she can't harm him, her mother asked her not to.
Raziah smiled to no one and then proceeded to lay down on her bed and close her eyes, falling asleep immediately, still smiling.
It was like she was in a garden filled with Iridaceae and Marigold flowers, she remembered this very place and smiled to herself. After her mother's death, she finds herself here once in a while, not every time. In this Garden she was a ten year old girl. She sat down and waited.
Suddenly someone covered her eyes but she didn't yell, she recognized the fragrance and smiled widely.
"Mother." she whispered and the hand was suddenly gone from her face and her mother joined her on the ground. "I have missed you. It's been a long time since you brought me here. You even promise to tell me a story when next I come." she added sadly. It's been like twenty years or so.
"I'm sorry Raziah. Bringing you here is not easy." Mary told her daughter kissing the top of her head.
"I haven't buried you."
"Good."
"I bathe your dead body everyday like you requested." Raziah told her.
"That's good Raziah and for being obedient I will tell you the story." Mary said, beaming in smiles.
Raziah's ten year old self jumped up in happiness then sat down on her mother's lap.
"A long time ago, after the creation of the universe which leads to different dimensions. The Creator feeling so tired and needed to rest decided to bring the two most trusted of his creations and gave them a task to watch over the universe. Well one was to guide the night and the other one was to guide the day. Well the god who guided the night became jealous of the goddess of the day and wanted to take her powers away from her."
"Why?"
"People prefer day to night, my child. So feeling jealous he made plans to steal her powers since she is the strongest amongst them."
"Did he succeed?" Raziah asked curiously.
"He succeeded." Mary confirmed.
"But how? How can day trust night?"
"Love Raziah, love made her." Mary answered. "I will see you again my child and finish up the story. Keep taking care of my body."
"Wait!" Raziah yelled out and shot out of bed holding whoever that was looming over on the neck. She saw her father staring at her in shock.
"What?" she demanded, tightening her hold on him. If he hadn't Interrupted her dream her mother would have finished that story. Now she doesn't know when her mother would call her to that beautiful garden again.
"Hobgoblin Queen." he squeaked out and Raziah let go of his neck immediately.
"Repeat that."
"The Hobgoblin Queen is back." Barwolf told her.
"So soon?"
"Soon? It's evening already."
Raziah then stared at the window in the room and it was only then she noticed how dark it was outside. She hasn't spoken to her mother for long and now it's dark already here.
"Did she bring my payment?"
"She did."
Without another word she left her bed and room and went to meet the Queen of Hobgoblin who was waiting for her in the compound.
Her stomach growls and she remembers that she hasn't eaten anything since morning nor has she taken her bath. The quicker she is done with the demons the sooner she has her bath and food.
"I'm sorry for delaying my King." The Hobgoblin Queen apologized to Raziah.
Raziah didn't acknowledge her apology, her eyes were on the twenty big sack bags filled with golden coins to brim. Staring at it she smiled to herself.
"You did well." She said mostly to herself. "Take the bags to my treasure house."
Barwolf needed no one to tell that his daughter was talking to him.
"It's night my King, the demons will soon attack please can we go now."
"Hush and don't ever tell me what to do." Raziah warns her. "Besides, if I defeat the demons, do you promise to hand over your kingdom to me?" she asked then continued before the Queen answered. "I mean you will still be the Queen but I will be controlling it. You will follow my rules."
"I promise." the Queen of Hobgoblin said with gritted teeth.
"That's what I want to hear." Raziah said and whistled once.
A golden sharp spear being carried by ten guards were seen coming towards them.
"Lazy fools." Raziah said to their faces and with ease carried her Golden spear. No one can lift up her Golden spear single handedly.
Closing her eyes, she called on her Wolf. She saw herself facing a prison and inside the prison was a large white wolf chained on its hind legs. She had tried all she could to release her wolf from this prison but couldn't. Why was her wolf chained? She has no answer to that and to make it worse, all her Wolf doesn't remember.
"It's time."
Deep violet eyes opened to stare at her as the large head touched the iron.
"They are back aren't they?" her Wolf asked, referring to the demons.
"Yes, I don't know why they are back but I don't want you to kill all of them like you did the last time. I need to question the ones that we will spare and know who is sending them."
The Wolf nodded her head and closed her eyes.
Raziah closed her eyes and made her forehead touch her wolf forehead.
"So are we going now or what else do you want from me?" The Queen of Hobgoblin angrily asked. She has agreed to pay Raziah for her services and even hand over her kingdom to her, why is she delaying? Doesn't Raziah know they have no time.
Growling loudly that it forces everyone around her down to their knees.
"Know who you are talking to."
Opening her eyes, her dark Irises were no longer dark but deep violet.
Chapter 3
❤️ Demon's Attack (Part 3) ❤️
"I am sorry, my King." the Queen of Hobgoblin apologized to Raziah, her head bowed.
"Whatever," she said in a dismissively tone. "Barwolf, get me my bow and arrows." she ordered her father. "Make it fast."
Barwolf hurried up to get what she asked forand he came to meet breathing heavily. He had ran all the way to Raziah room to bring her bow and arrows and ran back immediately
Taking her bags of arrows and bow from her father and strapping them on her back.
"My horse, must I keep reminding you of this father."
"Sorry." Barwolf whispered and went to bring Raziah horse. He was grateful that Raziah didn't slap him for forgetting to bring out her horse.
"Let's go." she said to the Queen of Hobgoblin.
Raziah was wearing a short gown that was sewn into tight a brais at the edge. It fitted her body, it was transparent on both the sides with her back and it barely covered her arse and wide hips. Her big bre.asts were barely fitted in it and the upper side could only tuck in half of her breasts. Holding her golden spear with one hand and climbing her black horse, holding the reins with her other hand, she galloped away with the Queen of Hobgoblin following close behind.
___
Hobgoblin Kingdom:
Arriving at the kingdom, not a single soul was in sight.
Stopping at the gate that leads inside the Hobgoblin Kingdom, she alighted from her horse and gave the reins to the Queen.
"Guide it like your life depends on it, if I see a tiny scratch on my horse, what I will do to you will be small compared to what those demons have been doing to you."
The Queen of Hobgoblin nodded her head and collected the horse reins from Raziah carefully.
"They will soon be coming, should I send some of my warriors to join you?" she asked.
"Of course, you don't expect me to fight the demons alone. I need people that will be chanting and hailing me when I fight them and fortunately for you, your warriors are the right people." Raziah answered, her eyes scanning around them. "Bye." saying that, she totally ignores the presence of the short Queen.
The Queen of Hobgoblin sighed and entered the gate and was careful with Raziah horse.
Once alone, Raziah took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She needed to focus on her surroundings.
Ever since she has Violet, the name of her wolf, it was as if a part of her that was dying spring back to life. Even though she couldn't transform into her full wolf yet, the strength of Violet has kept her going.
She had always wondered why she couldn't transform into her wolf, even violet couldn't tell and they came to a conclusion, the chains binding violet and the prison she was kept in. That can only be the reason why Raziah has never changed into her wolf before.
The gate behind her opened and the warriors of the Hobgoblin Kingdom came out to join Raziah. Most of them were with their swords, wooden lance with an iron tip, metal-headed mace, battle-axe, and dagger.
"Could you all be quiet? I am concentrating here." Raziah said without looking at them.
The warriors all looked at themselves in surprise as they all paused in their movement, they were as silent as a graveyard when they approached her, hence their surprise.
Raziah listened, staying in that position until midnight.
The demons must have known she was coming and that is why they did not come which means no fight. Her wolf wasn't happy. She sighed and was turning around to inform the Hobgoblin warriors that they should go and inform their Queen to bring her horse when she heard them.
Running feet coming towards them. They were many, her wolf could tell.
'Brace yourself Raziah, these ones coming are not like the demons we slew.'
Raziah opened her eyes and it widened when she saw the first demon flying towards them.
Her wolf was right.
'How did you know they were different?' Raziah asked her wolf.
'I don't know Raziah, I just know,' her wolf responded. 'We shouldn't be discussing this right now, we need to keep our focus on them.'
Lifting her spear and gave a lopsided smile at demons approaching them.
Raziah started laughing like a maniac and ran towards the approaching demons.
"Should we attack or not!" One of the warriors of Hobgoblin shouted after her but Raziah ignored him.
Her focus was on the demons. They were many and she wondered where they'd all come out from.
Who could be sending the demons and why?
These weren't like the first ones who she had fought and destroyed when they came to attack her kingdom. Those ones were on foot and weren't as ugly as these ones running towards her, no, flying towards her. The first demons don't have horns but this present demons has.
She paused in her movement, ceasing her laugh and immediately ruled a line on the ground that covers the length of the gate to Hobgoblin kingdom.
She waited until they were closer to her, much closer to her.
Lifting up her Golden spear, she aimed it at the demon closer to her and the demon caught fire immediately, leaving only the roasted skeleton of the remains of the ugly demon underneath her golden sharp spear.
The fire stopped the rest of the demons right in their tracks as they all turned and stared at Raziah as if she had eight heads, their red eyes blazing with rage and fire. Ignoring the kingdom they were aiming at for now and focusing on her.
They circled her.
Ignoring the strong putrid stench emitting out from the demons surrounding her, their growls didn't shake her. They noticed she wasn't petrified of them at all which angers them, plus her killing one of them.
"Didn't whoever that sent you all told you that this kingdom is mine. I am their king, I am the only who gets to kill my subjects as I want. You all have no right to attack what is mine." Raziah told them which seems to anger them the more as smokes were seen coming out of their horns.
They attacked Raziah at once but didn't stand a chance against her. Raziah was barely using her strength to kill them, they are not worth it.
One of the demons slipped away when he realized they were not a match for the girl they were fighting. He flew back to where they had come out from to report back to their mistress of their failure.
Raziah stopped when she realized that there were only five remaining demons who were about to fly away from her out of fear. Grinning, she jumped up, as high as she could and with her spear which seemed to impossibly increase in size, with it, she hit the five demons on their back which sent them crashing to the ground. Quickly and without wasting time, she tore one side of their wings which would prevent them from flying.
"Where did you think you were going?" Raziah asked as she began removing their horns one after the other.
The painful growls of them could be heard.
The warriors Hobgoblin behind her jubilated and hurried up to meet Raziah.
"I need ten of you to carry our hostages and follow me. The rest of you should clean up this mess," Raziah said pointing at the roasted skeletons of the dead littering around.
Entering the kingdom of Hobgoblin as she and the demons she had captured heads to meet the Queen.
Entering the Palace, Raziah saw the Queen and a few of her warriors at the palace premises. The Queen was the only one pacing around.
Seeing Raziah and the demons brought a huge relief to her and if Raziah was a hug person, she would have hugged the taller girl.
"No lives of your usel.ess warriors were lost and your kingdom is mine as per our deal. I have slain the demons."
Nodding her head. "I won't go back on my words, my King. My people and I are under your command from now henceforth." The Queen of Hobgoblin agreed with Raziah. Her gaze landed on the demons once again.
"What are we going to do with them? Obviously, I can't keep them in my kingdom." She stated.
Without replying to her, Raziah turned to look at the demons on their knees.
"Who sent you?" she asked as she circles them slowly. "Who sent you?" she repeated her question when none of the demons spoke.
***
Unknown River: At a Faraway place
The demon who had slipped away stopped at the bank of a river. He flew as fast as he could to get here and then proceeded to clear his throat six times which was in a rhythm and a dark portal opened and he quickly entered it.
The portal closed behind him and opened at the front of a castle where a woman stood, waiting.
"What's wrong?" The dark woman with black eyeballs demanded immediately she saw him.
"We were attacked and killed. I managed to escape My Lady." the demon answered and proceeded to tell her who they had fought against.
"You mean to tell me that one person killed the one thousand demons that left this place?" The woman asked with raised brows.
"Yes my Lady, just one person. A she." the demon replied.
"Impossible." the woman said and a portal opened once again. Stepping out of the portal at the bank of the river. Her eyes focused on the direction of the Hobgoblin Kingdom, slowly, a bow and an arrow made of darkness appeared in her hands. With it, she aimed it at the direction of Hobgoblin, closing her eyes, she saw the images of her dead demons and the five that were left alive. She saw the lady her demon had spoken off and gasp out slowly.
Dark wouldn't believe it if she told him.
She grinned and released her hold on her arrow and immediately another arrow appeared in her hand.
She shot five times and opened her eyes.
****
Hobgoblin Kingdom:
"You don't want to speak?" Raziah stared at the five demons in front of her, none of them made any move to talk. The minutes were clawing away and she was losing her patience. "I won't ask again, demons, this time I will be using force on you and you will regret not answering me." she added, raising her spear up.
At that moment, an arrow landed on one of demons who shrieked in so much pain, shaking and became ashes.
Raziah wasn't expecting any attack and before she could realize what was going on, more arrows had struck the remaining demons. One by one they screak before turning to ashes. The arrows had all come fr one direction.
Snarling angrily at the sight before her, her wolf angers running through her veins. She brought out her bow and an arrow and aimed it at the direction she had seen the arrows emerging from. She had no idea of what she was doing but was being guided by her wolf.
Snarling widely once again, she released her hold from the arrow and it shot forward.
****
Unknown River: At a Faraway place:
The lady smiled to herself and made a portal opened, turning around to enter the portal, she paused in her movement and twirl around suddenly and fast and caught the arrow, stopping it from touching her forehead
The smile on her face faded and her eyebrows almost joined together when squeezing her forehead and the lower corner of her mouth in displeasure.
"Interesting."
Chapter 4
❤️ Dark Dotizu ❤️
"Hmm." the woman said and entered the portal.
The portal opened once again at the same castle where the demon who had escaped was still standing at the same place he was.
"That was more interesting than I thought," the woman said to the demon. "You are the only survivor of the troop sent out of here. Go and meet the others, I will inform Dark."
"I will do that my Lady." the demon said, bowing before the woman and disappeared.
The lady scoffed and started walking towards the castle, swinging her waist. The castle was in total darkness but even without the aid of candles, everyone in the castle could see perfectly. The demons guards guarding the entrance and the rooms around the castle all bowed to her when she walked past them.
After their master, she was the second person they feared.
Stopping in front of a door, she opened it and walked inside without knocking. She rolled her eyes at the sight that greeted her.
Loud moans greeted her ears.
On the bed was a naked man with four naked ladies, no doubt demons. Two of the ladies were licking his twelve inches thick pe.nis. Each taking turns to suck the huge pe.nis, taking in what their mouths could take. The third girl was caressing the board hairy chest and twirling her tongue on his nip.ples while the fourth girl was on his face, straddling him as he licked, sucked and tongue fu.ck her pus.sy. One of his hands was busy finger fuc.king the girl sucking his nipples and the other hand was holding the thigh of the girl on his face.
"Get out." The woman who had walked in spoke and the four girls stopped what they were doing and left the room, still naked. When they reached the woman's side, they bowed and left.
"You are always fond of interrupting me when I am having fun, which is unfair Amaya," the man on the bed said with a deep chuckle. "Come here." he added, stretching out one of his hands to her. His voice making the woman now known as Amaya shiver in a good kinda way.
Amaya approached him.
"Why won't I keep Interrupting when you can't keep your pe.nis in one place?" Amaya told him. "I am always here for you, Dark." she added as she clasped their hands together and drew her closer to him, Dark made her sit on his bed.
"I know that Amaya." he told her, pecking her on he forehead and getting up to his feet. His seven foot height was a sight to behold, his long dark hair plaited in cornrows and the end packed in a ponytail. His pupils, Iris and Sclera were dark, not a single white in them. His lower lips and his two eyebrows was pierced with a golden earring. He stretches his body, not embarrassed by his nakedness. "Why did you interrupt me?" his frisky mood was gone, his face tightened as black mist surrounds him.
"You won't believe what happened," Amaya said, waiting for Dark to ask her 'what happened' which wasn't forthcoming. His expression even seems to darken the more. "I saw that child."
"What child?" Dark asked with a confused look.
"Not a child anymore," Amaya said, shaking her head, getting up to her feet so that she could stand behind him. She was a beautiful demon, the prettiest amongst the other demons and taller than every female demon. Her 5'8 would put some demons to shame. Her shoulder length dark hair was a replica of Dark. "A woman now."
"Who is it?"
"Raziah."
A sharp intake of breath from Dark could be heard in the room.
Raziah?
Ninety Two (92) years ago when Raziah was eight, they had met once.
FLASHBACK:
The full moon was high and bright in the sky.
Dark was seen with Amaya and some of his demons merry and drinking at the palace of Barwolf, the man had made sure they had a grand feast, the candles had brightened up the throne room. Seated on the throne with two werewolves ladies on each of his laps, kissing and touching. Each of his demons were with a werewolf lady, except for Amaya who standing just close to the throne chair Dark was seated. A young woman with one of his demons was heard crying and pleading with the demon to stop what he was doing to her body.
The door that leads to the throne room opened but none of them stopped what they were doing.
"Who are you?" Amaya demanded as she stared down at the little girl that had walked in.
"My name is Raziah, and I am here to take my mother with me. She is here." Raziah responded and started looking around the throne room, searching for her mother. She saw her and quickly ran to meet the demon who wanted to force his erect pe.nis on Mary's who is naked.
But before she could reach them, Amaya grabbed hold of her hair and lifted her up as if she had no weight.
"Don't you know that little pretty girls like you should be sleeping instead of roaming around aimlessly?" Amaya sneered and then proceeded to point at the moaning naked women. "Besides that fool that calls himself Barwolf brought wh.ores for us so if your mother is truly among them, that means she is a wh.ore."
Seething red, Raziah bit the arms of Amaya hard, the one she used at pointing.
Flinging little Raziah to the ground, Amaya raised one of her legs and kicked Raziah, hard, drawing blood out from her mouth.
Mary cried seeing her child getting injured and being powerless as the demon ra.ped her.
The scent of her blood stopped Dark right on his tracks and he raised his head up from one of the ladies bre.ast to see the owner of the blood.
"You dare bite me! I will show you the stuff I am made of. I will burn you." Amaya screamed at Raziah and pinned the little girl to the ground with one of her feet. Fire coming out from the feet on Raziah's stomach burning her with her dark fire, making the little girl screaming out in pain.
"That's enough Amaya," Dark said, focusing on Raziah. Amaya didn't bulge at the words of Dark, she wanted the fire to quickly spread all over the girl who had the guts to bite her arm.
Dark with just a motion of one of his index fingers, his golden spear (the one the grown up Raziah has) slices Amaya's ankle, the one resting on Raziah's stomach.
Black mist lifted up Amaya as some of it entered her nose, eyes, mouth and ears.
"When I give out an order, I expect you to adhere to it."
Chapter 5
❤️ The Promise Made ❤️
"I am sorry, Dark. It's just that the chil-"
Interrupting her abruptly.
"It's King!" Dark snarled at Amaya, showing his teeth which began growing in size, his horns puffing out dark smokes. The sharp-pointed head of his spear made of gold also buried itself on the ground beside the chair he was sitting on.
"I am sorry, my King." Amaya apologizes as she slowly moves back away from the child she was holding herself from putting an end to the life in her.
"Come here." Dark gesture with his hand for Raziah to come. His teeth going back to their normal size, his horns seizing it's smoke.
Slowly getting up to her feet, Raziah approached the man.
"Why are you here?" Dark asked, staring into her eyes.
"I am here for my mother. I was told she is here by one of my father wives." Raziah answered.
"And you've seen her?" Dark asked, pushing off the ladies that were trying so hard to get his attention. Somehow, the little girl grabs all of his attention and he couldn't tell why.
"Yes, could you tell them to stop what they are doing to my mother." Raziah responded and without looking she pointed at the direction her mother was.
Looking at the direction she was pointing, and saw one of his demons fuc.king the woman. "Stop, get away from her." Dark said to the demon which surprised everyone. Facing Raziah again. "Is that all?" He asked.
"Yes, that's all. Thank you, my King." Raziah thanked.
"Tell me, what's your name Child?" he asked, striding towards her and stopping when he was close. He bent down to clean the blood that coated the side of her lips with his right index finger, smelling it and eventually licking it, then closed his eyes in pure bliss.
"Raziah, I'm the king's daughter." she answered, squeezing her face when she saw him licking her blood.
Nodding his head. "You smell heavenly Raziah like..." he paused and remembered he was talking to a child and smiled instead straightened up to his feet smiling down at her.
"What does it mean?" Raziah asked, tilting her head to look at the man before her, he was tall like a mountain, she hoped she would get tall like him. And also hiding the fact that she was in pain from whatever Amaya had done to her.
"It means you have a unique scent to me Raziah. You and I are going to be best friends." Dark answered her. He still couldn't get her scent off him.
"Really? You will become my friend?" Raziah asked eagerly.
"Yes you are my friend now, I didn't kill you so yes we are friends." He responded.
"So now that you are my best friend, will you protect me and my mother from my father?" Raziah requested.
"From your father? Why?" Dark question in curiosity.
"I am scared of him, my mother is scared of him. I don't know how to keep my mother safe from him but you are my best friend right, and you are like a king over us, right? I see how you commanded your demons and my father. You will protect us from him, right?" Raziah, waited with bated breath for his answers.
"Child, I will protect you and your mother. But you know, most times I will be so busy and I can't be protecting you always, so..." he paused and walked back to his golden spear. "Let me tell you, the day you lift up my spear will be the day you can stand up to anything or anyone. So I am giving it to you. See it as a gift from me." Dark apprise her.
"That," Raziah pointed at the golden spear. "Will take me ages before I can lift it up and my father can't wait until then. Best friends should always be there for their friend, right? My mother is my best friend and she is always there for me, won't you be there for me." Raziah query.
"I will." Dark answered and once again closed the distance between them, one of his hands went behind Raziah's right ear, bringing the hand to show her. "Look what I found for you," he said, showing her a dark average shell on his hand. "This is my second gift to you Raziah. Whenever your father threatens you or your mother, just whisper to it 'Help me Dark' and I will come running from wherever I am to save you and your mother. Okay?" he told her, giving her the shell which she gladly collected from him.
"Thank you." Her face lit up in smiles.
Patting her head. He looked at Amaya and gestured with his head, moving it to one side. "Let's go." he told her and a dark portal opened also immediately before he could finish those words. He was about to enter the portal when Raziah grabbed hold of one of his fingers stopping him.
"Promise me that when I whisper the words you will come and help me and my mother." She uttered.
"I give you my word Raziah." Dark said wanting to get out of here and from her scent.
"No, I want to hear the word Promise from you." Raziah remained adamant.
"Oh, okay. I promise, I will come running." Dark promised.
Smiling widely and letting go of his finger. "Remember, a King never goes back on his promise." She informed him.
Without another word he entered the portal.
"You heard him, leave the bit.ches you are screwing and let's get out of here." Amaya told the rest of the demons.
And soon enough, they entered the portal Amaya had open leaving Raziah and the naked wolves behind.
__
Dark Castle:
"Why did you save that girl? I could have killed her if you hadn't intervened." Amaya queried once when she was alone with Dark in what looked like his throne room. "She is the daughter of the man you loathe with every thing in you. The man responsible for everything." She reminded him.
"She is just a child Amaya." Dark replied.
"Well the last time I checked, you would even join me in killing a child. Why did you spare her Dark?" Amaya demanded. "And the fact that you even licked her blood irritates me."
"I don't know Amaya. She has a unique scent and I don't know if it is because of her blood. It tasted sweeter than $€x or should I put it in the same category as $€x." Dark answer with a shrug. "I don't know why I did that."
"And what about the promise you made to the little girl? The shell and you even left her with your golden spear," Amaya said with a tight lips. "What I have been pleading with you to give me since."
Dark laughed as if what Amaya had said was funny, he stopped laughing after a minute to say. "Promise? What promise are you talk about? Don't tell me you believed what I told that child. I was merely playing along with her. I love crushing the hopes of people Amaya. It's my thing."
Amaya smiled as if that's the best news she has ever received. "What about your spear and the shell you gave to her then?" She asked.
"She can't lift up my spear if that's your concern and for the shell I know what to do so that shouldn't be your worry." Dark notified her.
"So you won't be keeping your promise then?"
"A King never gets to keep his promise Amaya. She will learn that on her own."
Soon enough, one night, he heard the whimpering whisper of the girl calling out to him for help and he ignored it. He has important things to do and running to save a child wasn't what he planned on doing.
He didn't keep to his promise.
End of FLASHBACK:
"Why are you reminding me of her, of that name I had forgotten." Dark query with raised brows.
"Like I said, you won't believe what happened."
"What happened? Is she dead?"
"No, but she was the one who had fought against our demons. She killed all of them and didn't spare anyone, though one of your demons escaped and ran here to inform me." Amaya reply.
"Does that mean she is strong now?"
"Yes, she is strong now. The child we met that night was just an ordinary child, a princess. We didn't smell any power from her, right? So I don't know how she became strong now."
"Why would you say she is strong? Just because she managed to kill one thousand out of my millions demons doesn't make her strong, it was just luck."
"Could you believe I shot her one of the arrows of agony and she shot back her own arrow at me. If I didn't stop the arrow it could have pierced my forehead. And do you know the most interesting part? I was standing closer at the bank of the river when she shot it from the Hobgoblin Kingdom and it came right towards me, unbelievable right?" Amaya explained.
"It was just a coincidence Amaya, don't think about it too much." Dark shrugged off.
"How could she know I was standing at the spot I was?" Amaya queried.
"People tend to get lucky and Raziah is one of them." Dark said, going to the wardrobe in the room to put on some clothes.
"Maybe, and one more thing Dark, she used your golden spear to kill your demons." Amaya finally dropped the bombshell.
That stopped him right on his track and he turned around to look at Amaya in shock and did not bother to hide it. "Impossible. Apart from me no one else can remove the spear from the ground, not to talk about lifting and carrying it up." He finds it unwilling and unable to believe it.
"But she did and she used it to fight with it against the demons."
"Impossible," Dark said again. His eyes moved around in the room. "Unbelievable." he added a second later.
Chapter 6
❤️ Broken Promise (Part 1) ❤️
"Unless you make it not too hard for the girl to pull out whenever she wants." Amaya told him. "That can only be the explanation behind this."
Still finding it hard to believe. "I didn't make it easy for her, you know me, I would have told you that night."
"If you didn't then how come she carried your Golden spear?"
"I will find out the answer."
"You are planning to pay her a visit, right?"
"Yes, besides, apart from that night we haven't crossed the Werewolves kingdom but u will be going there to see if what you said about her is true," Dark said and Amaya smiled. "Leave, I need to think without disturbance."
"Dark, if you ever need someone to talk to, just know that I am one step behind you. I am always here to listen."
"Leave Amaya."
Amaya quietly left the room leaving Dark to his thoughts.
****
Hobgoblin Kingdom:
Raziah screamed out in rage when no more arrows were shot. Staring at the place the demons were before made her start growling.
Destroying the first demons had made her think Dark, wherever the hell he is, will come out to confront her but she got none. Now a few years later another set of demons had come out to attack and someone somewhere had made sure she got no lead to where the man she wanted to drive her sword into his beating heart.
One day, just one day, Dark will come out from the hole he is hiding.
"My horse." She didn't need to repeat or say the words aloud when some Hobgoblin hurried up to bring the horse to her. Taking the reins forcefully from the male Hobgoblin, nearly scratching off his skin from his fingers. She climbed her horse, and without another word and gallop out of there faster.
"Well at least she kept to get own end of her bargain," the Queen of Hobgoblin said as Raziah was soon out of her sight. She turned and returned to her chamber. Her handmaid rearranging her hair. The only light coming from the room was from her candle at a corner of the room. "I wonder why she is angry instead of her rejoicing that she succeeded in killing the demons that I paid her for with my money and kingdom." she added.
"Maybe she is angry at whoever killed those demons she had spared." her handmaid chips in.
"True but I am glad that out problems has been solved." The Queen of Hobgoblin said, resting her head on the pillow and doze off. Her handmaid finished rearranging her hair and left the room silently.
***
The Wolf Kingdom:
The only time her horse came to an absolute halt was when she reached the palace.
One of the guards quickly took her horse reins from her as she walked angrily inside. Dropping her spear on the ground, the guards around will pick it up and take it back to where it is being kept.
She immediately went to the dining area and sat down at the head of the table. Some servants came to serve her food.
No one spoke or made a noise, they could see that she was in a bad mood.
Five minutes later, Barwolf and his three wives all made an appearance and each went to sit on the chairs available at the table. No one said anything as they watched Raziah eating. The only noise coming from the dinning room was the clattering of her spoon on the plate.
Her dark eyes slowly replace the violet ones.
Raziah had made the rules for them to always be present whenever she was eating, failure to do so, would result in punishment. DEATH.
At first they had thought she was joking until she killed Sari, the fourth wife of Barwolf, mercilessly in front of them. Ever since then they never fail to show up. And Raziah is always fond of eating late, probably to punish them or to force them into breaking her rules so that she could hurt them. They noticed hurting them always brings smiles to her face.
"How did it go? Were the demons able to come?" Barwolf asked, breaking the silence that had engulfed them. Barwolf waited and waited for Raziah to respond but got none. He sighed slowly waiting for her to finish eating so that he could go back to his bed.
"You want to know if they succeeded in killing me, right?" Raziah asked and drank water and kept the cup at the table and stared at her father coldly. "Too bad, it didn't happen and it can never happen. They were not a match for me." she added proudly.
"I didn't mean that Raziah. I was just trying to b-" he didn't get to complete his words before she Interrupted him.
"When do you think Dark will pay us a visit?" Raziah asked.
"Were the demons sent by him?"
"Was that the question I asked you?"
"I'm sorry Raziah," Barwolf apologized to his daughter. "Dark comes whenever he wants at any time. We should pray that he never visit this kingdom again."
"I want him to come. He has to come. He should come, I have been waiting for him for a very long time. It is very wrong to keep me waiting." Raziah said and stood up to her feet and left the dining room without another word.
"If only you were content with me, we wouldn't be in this mess," Faith (Barwolf first wife) said. "I married a King but I didn't know that in the future he would be reduced and given a lowly position. If not that your daughter had threatened me I would have left you the day she defeated you." she added.
"You are not the only one on this boat Faith," Kate said and Ama nodded her head in support.
"Don't remind me of what I had forgotten."
***
Unknown Place:
"Isn't it time yet. She is grown up now." a woman's voice could be heard. Her hair was purely white. "I need what was given to her and Dark. It belongs to me."
"Not yet, just be a little bit patient. We need Dark to commit a mistake to have the girl on our side, remember the plan." A man's voice could be heard. He was covered in dark mist , his whole body wasn't seen.
Chapter 7
❤️ Broken Promise (Part 2) ❤️
"I remember but you know it's been long. I keep hearing 'be patient' 'be patient' but for how long will I continue to be patient?" the woman asked the dark mist and began pacing around in what looked like a cave.
"I am just as impatient like you too but what will I do? Patience is the only thing we have to hold on to. Showing yourself will ruin everything." The man covered in dark mist told her.
The unknown woman heaved out.
"Fine," she said, tightening her lips. "Fine then." She added again.
"Keep preparing your body for the powers." the man said and immediately the black mist was gone leaving the woman alone. Sitting down and crossing her legs and closing her eyes, a few minutes later she was a rock statue which merged with the rock behind it.
****
Wolf Kingdom:
"We will keep reminding you every day of our lives." Ama told him.
Without another word he stood up and went to his room leaving his three wives behind.
His heart was heavy. How the might has fallen.
___
Raziah slammed her room door hard behind her.
She was still angry but the one person who she wanted to rip out his heart wasn't close and her father, she couldn't hurt him.
"Where are you, Dark?" she asked no one. "Where can you be hiding?"
Her hatred for him began the night she needed him the most. The night that changes everything. The night she felt helpless against her father, the first time. She hates him.
'Thinking and hating about your past won't make what you went through go away.' Violet, her wolf, told her through their mind link. 'It won't change the fact that he didn't come to save you, plus, that was the night you discovered your wolf, me.'
'I can't seem to forget that night no matter how hard I try violet. I am trying my best but I can't stop thinking about it."
'You had so much hope that he would show up but he didn't show up. You've got to stop dwelling in the past Raziah.'
'Maybe if I kill him and my father I will have my peace.' Raziah told her Wolf. Dark didn't keep to his promise. He had broken the promise he made to her.
'Maybe. Try to get some sleep Raziah.'
Her wolf went silent after that.
Smiling at no one, Raziah started removing her clothes one after the other. Her back was covered in various scars that ran down to her a$$. Her father had always used a sword to beat her whenever she interfered or pleaded with him on her mother's behalf.
The wounds had long healed but the scars had marred her back.
Feeling tired, she lay down on her bed and slept off.
*
*
The next morning she got up and went to the house where her mother's corpse was.
The servants had already set warm water in the wooden bucket and a hand towel in it.
She began cleaning her dead mother.
"How are you doing, mother? Did you sleep well?" she asked the pale cold body. "I didn't sleep well last night but I'm used to it. Yeah I know I have to be strong for myself and myself." she added and kept quiet for a minute then nodded her head as if the dead body was speaking. "I know that mother, I won't hurt him but I will always punish him for what he put you through and me." a smile appeared on her face. "I do eat to keep me alive and going. Yeah, I know, I love you too, mother."
No one understands this, but she hears her mother speak.
Once she was done. She pecked the forehead of the dear woman. "I will be visiting the Vampire kingdom today mother, wish me well."
She left the room and told one of the guards to clean up the room and sent one to call Barwolf for her.
"Good morning. I was told I was needed." Barwolf said to his daughter. The guard that woke him up didn't give him a chance to dress up. He forced Barwolf out of his room with his underwear. Guards, mere guards who wouldn't and tremble at his feet.
"Yes, I did Barwolf." Raziah answered. "Where do you think Dark will be staying? Where can I find him?"
"You can't find him anywhere, no one has. He comes and goes like he wants." Barwolf told her.
"Why is he feared?" Raziah asked. She has never asked this question before but something in her feels like she will be meeting him soon and knowing some things about the man will be an advantage to her.
"Because he is the son of the five Princes of Hell. He is mysterious, you don't want to mess with him or get on his bad side." Barwolf answered his daughter.
"So? Because he told you all that he is the devil child and you all believed him?" Raziah said, rolling her eyes at her father. It had only taken her one Kingdom to defeat (the giant kingdom) for the rest of the other kingdoms to fear her. The fear in their eyes when she had defeated those demons and had conquered the giant Kingdom pleased her. She loves seeing the fear in their eyes when they see her but Dark, he had only told them and they believed him. How foolish of them.
"He didn't have to say it twice or prove it Raziah. He showed us."
"How?" Raziah demanded, one of her eyebrows raised.
"You wake up every morning to clean your mother up. You take good care of her."
Cutting him short.
"And what has that got to do with what I asked you?" She asked with a glare.
"You can do everything to help your mother but him, he killed his mother's people. He killed every dragon and did not spare even one. How can a sane person kill every member of his mother's people? What he did with the dragon kingdom, when we heard of it. We became scared and didn't want him to destroy our kingdoms so we all agreed. He is deadly." Barwolf explained.
"I still see no reason why he is feared." Raziah shakes her head.
"He buried the entire Dragon Kingdom with water." Barwolf told her, closing his eyes.
Raziah's eyes widened and then narrowed it to him.
"The same way I should have buried you since," Raziah said which prompted Barwolf to open his eyes. "One day, I will pay deaf ears to my mother and kill you." she added with a darker look and Barwolf had to move back. "Go and clean up my room."
Without saying another word he ran back inside the palace building.
Dark is strong, no doubt, but so is she. Raziah thought to herself. She dares him to come out from his hiding place and face her.
Come out. Then the blue sky began to darken.
***
Dark Castle:
Dark was seen putting on a black tunics that was his waist length and trouser and his boot in his room.
Amaya walked inside the room and met him dressed up.
"Where are you going?" she asked, surprised.
"To meet Raziah."
"Why?" Amaya demanded in surprise.
"Raziah has my property and I am going back to collect it from her."
"She is now a fighter; she won't give you the Golden spear willingly."
"I don't care. I will kill her to get back my golden spear if I have to."
"But it is morning already, can't you wait until it's dark for us to go? We are made for darkness. Demons can't come out in the morning." Amaya reminded him.
"And I don't need anyone's permission to step out in the sun. You can't step out but I can Amaya, that's the difference between us." Dark told her.
"You are going to hurt yourself Dark, the day doesn't favor us, please listen to me and-"
Interrupting her.
"Amaya!" he shouted which fling her backwards with more force and Dark quickly entered his dark mist and appeared behind Amaya stopping her from hitting the wall. It wasn't because he didn't want Amaya hurt, it's because he likes that wall. It has mirrors which shows his impressive heights and muscles and not to mention his handsomeness.
He let go of her immediately.
"Don't you ever tell me what to do. You're just a friend and my commander. Just because you became close to me and I allow you to walk inside my room like you please shouldn't give you the right to give me an order. Do I make myself clear?" His lips didn't move.
"I am sorry." Amaya apologized with her head down.
Checking himself on his mirror, his black mist surrounded him and the only one in the room was Amaya who started screaming in anger.
Chapter 8
❤️ The Duel (Part 1) ❤️
Wolf Kingdom:
"You, go and get my horse ready," she said to a guard not bothered about the gathering dark clouds. "Tell Barwolf to prepare my spear for me. He should not keep me waiting."
"Yes my King." the guard responded and hurried up to do as told.
Snorting out loud she went back to her room and quickly had her bath putting on a revealing short gown.
She left her room and when she came out of the opening, her father with the help of some other guards were waiting for her with her spear. Her horse too.
Collecting the reins of her horse and climbing on it. She took the spear from them.
"Where are you going?" Barwolf asked, wetting his lips nervously as Raziah turned to stare coldly at him. "Just in case someone seeks you, I might know where you are and send for you my King," he added.
"The Vampire kingdom. Someone better seek me Barwolf if not, I swear by my mothers, I will cut off one of your toes." Raziah told him and without another word kicked her horse at the side and it galloped away.
Barwolf began praying and hoping.
Turning to return to what he was doing, a cracking sound was heard and a black mist appeared and soon Dark stood in the place of the black mist.
Barwolf swallowed hard when he saw his new visitor and fell down to his knees.
His presence and aura alone made everyone in the Palace all fall down to their knees.
Dark smiled when he saw their reaction to his presence, they always have that effect whenever he is around. He returned his gaze to the man he hates the most. Because of that stupid promise he made to little Raziah he hasn't come to torture him.
"Barwolf, Barwolf." Dark said walking towards him, his vile smirk making Barwolf shaking. "Raziah, where is she? She has something that is mine."
"She left not too long ago to the Vampire Kingdom." Barwolf answered, thinking Dark will leave and go in search of Raziah in the Vampire Kingdom.
"Oh, I see, I will have to wait for her," Dark said. "While I wait for her, don't make me get bored." He added.
***
Vampire Kingdom:
Raziah arrived at the gate that leads inside the Vampire kingdom but the guards there all blocked the entrance.
Bending down to start whispering to her horse.
"We were ordered not to allow you in here and if you don't turn back we will be forced to figh-" the blonde male Vampire didn't get to complete his words when Raziah jumped out of her horse and on him. Her fingers changed into sharp long pointy claws and tore off his head like a piece of cake and fling his body like a football which flew upwards and out of sight. And with her two claws hands she squeezed the head in it and gave the others guards a lopsided smile. Her eyes changed to that of her wolf.
"If you want to join him, come on." she told them and began laughing like a maniac.
___
The Vampire King, Jold, was in a meeting with his Vampire council which contains 5 people when the door of their meeting room was kicked open and Raziah strode in, her body and gown covered in blood. She was dragging one of the guards with one of her hands and the spear was in her other empty hand and when she had gotten their attention, she marched the head of the Vampire guard which burst open and his brains fell out.
"What are you doing here?" King Jold demanded. He was surprised to see Raziah, he could recognize her.
"Better tell your people to go and clean up the mess I made at your gate. Your guards managed to stay on their feet for 30 seconds before they met their death. They did you proud Jold." Raziah answered him.
"What do you mean?" Jold asked, pretending not to know what Raziah was saying.
"Protecting your kingdom against me from entering won't shake me. I am here. I am finally inside your kingdom." Raziah told him. "Next time when you give out an order make sure that they are two times stronger than me, I." she pointed at herself with pride. "I am a class on my own."
"I didn't tell anyone to fight you," King Jold said with a bit of a trembling voice. "Why will I ask them to fight you when they know your reputation? We all know how strong you are. You defeated the giant Kingdom, we heard about it so why will I give them orders to fight you." he added lying through his teeth. He did give out the orders. In fact the meeting they were having was about Raziah. Information had reached him of how Raziah had saved the Hobgoblin Kingdom and how the Queen had agreed to her terms. He had sent for his council for them to put their heads together to protect their kingdom against Raziah since they don't know which kingdom will be her next.
"I don't care, you know why I am here, right?"
"Yes." King Jold admitted.
"It's King to you." Raziah snarled out.
"I'm sorry my King." Jold apologize, forcing himself to say those words.
"Good, now, I am here so that you can hand over your kingdom to me peacefully or let it end in war. And may I remind you that in war, I will kill you." She told him.
"It hasn't reached like that my King. I have a question."
"Don't expect me to answer any stupid question you ask Jold but go ahead."
"We ruled peacefully in our separate kingdoms for centuries until you were born and now you want every kingdom to be under you." King Jold said but got Interrupted by Raziah.
"Every fuc.king one of them."
"Why?" He asked.
"Because I want it. I know it may be hard for you to accept the changes but your hatred of me won't stop me from doing what I want from your kingdom. You will still be the King but you will answer to me and if you refuse, war. There will be war and you Jold will regret ever going against me. I will give you time to think. Do have a good day ahead." she told them and left, passing the Vampire Prince who didn't even bow to her, he was staring at her.
Stopping and turning slightly to look at him in fury. He was her height or a bit taller than her, muscular and was handsome. His red eyes matched with his short red hair sparkling as he couldn't tear his gaze off her.
"Should I remind you what to do when you see me?" Raziah asked in anger.
"You're beautiful, so beautiful and your blood smells very nice to me." the handsome Prince, whom she is yet to know his name, said, his fangs slowly coming out.
"What did you say?" Raziah gritted out, her claws coming out. She hates being called 'beautiful' because it brings bad unwanted memories to her. Those were the words her father had called her when he had disvirgined her. She has hated those words with passion.

❤️ The Duel (Part 2)❤️
"I said you are beautiful," the Vampire Prince said, his lips stretching a bit. "I mean have you ever looked at the mirror before? You'd understand what I am saying by now. You're beautiful" he added, not bothered about her angry expression. It didn't faze him, instead it made her look more stunning. And let him not start by talking about her alluring.
With a fast reflex, Raziah held his neck tightly in her hold and hit his back against one of the pillars around, breaking the pillar into two halves.
"Don't you dare call me that again or else..." Raziah told him with clenched teeth, adding more pressure to mark her words as she left it hanging.
Smiling even though he was held. He did not want to fight with her. His red eyes shine brightly and he licks his sharp canine teeth. 'Your blood is enticing me.' he thought smelling the hand that held his neck, provoking Raziah the more.
By now they have attracted the attention of every single Vampire in the palace.
"But you-" he started saying but was cut short by Jold.
Interrupting his son abruptly.
"I am so sorry about my son behavior Raziah. Please let him go." Jold begged on his son's behalf. He and his council of elders heard the noise and had to hurry out to know what caused it only to find his son dangling in the air by Raziah. Good thing that Vampires are undead if not she could have choked him to death with the hard grip.
"It's KING to you!" Raziah shouted and fling the Vampire Prince to his father in rage.
The Vampire Prince did a backflip in the air and landed on his feet beside his father.
"Anger," the Vampire Prince said in a singing tone which annoys the hell out of Raziah and her claws started emerging. "You have anger issues, but I will manag-"
King Jold quickly covered the mouth of his son. His son doesn't know when to stop and angering Raziah further, well…
"I am sorry my King, we are so sorry my King." Jold apologized to Raziah, forcing the word 'King' out.
Still glaring at the Vampire Prince and pointed one of her index fingers at him.
"Tell him to mind his words or else, you are going to bury him soon." She told Jold and left the Palace, breaking one of the walls of the Palace on her way out.
The Vampire Prince was smiling as his fangs reneged back.
"What are you staring at! Get back to work and clean up this mess right now!" Jold yelled at his servants and guards that was still watching and haven't moved from where they stood. They all went back to what they were doing while some began cleaning and packing the broken pieces of the pillar and wall.
"This meeting is adjourned. I will call for the next meeting soon," King Jold said to his council of elders, removing his hand from his son's mouth. "You may all leave now," he added.
One by one the council of elders left the palace to their various homes.
"Aragorn, in my chamber right now." King Jold didn't need to repeat himself twice to his son before he did as told. "Send some guards to clean up the mess she made outside our gate and put guards there, the stronger ones." he told one of the guards.

She should have killed him and used him as an example for the others.
'He is not worthy.' the voice of her wolf was heard in her mind.
'You are right.' She replied to her wolf at the same tone.
Arriving at the gate, her horse was still there, without much of a thought she climbed it and rode home.

Entering her palace, she noticed the aura around the palace was dark and that everyone, every single one, was on their knees with their heads bowed. Their hands touching the ground.
What's happening? Did they know she was coming and knelt down for her?
She thought and looked around her once more. Coming down from her horse. Her eyes narrowed when no guards came to take the horse from her.
"Am I now invisible to you all that none of you would notice my presence!" Raziah yelled out in anger but instead of them getting up to their feet, they began shaking in fear which didn't escape Raziah sharp eyes. Her eyes narrowed at them.
Taking a deep breath to avoid strangling all of them to death. She became aware of one thing.
She noted they were not scared of her shouting but of something else. And that something is in the Palace. Facing the entrance of the Palace, she growls loudly.
"Who came here and why are you all kneeling down? Get up right now." She bellowed in anger and started looking around. But when none of the servants or guards obeyed her, the anger in her was nearly reaching the boiling side. "Are you all now deaf? I said get up or you all are dead." she added with clenched teeth.
"We can't do that, my King." one of the guards said, shocking Raziah who bent down to grab hold of the guard's hair to stare into his brown eyes.
"And why is that?" She demanded, her teeth clenched and wasn't moving.
"Because they can't get up unless I ask them to." A strange familiar voice that made her shiver, not out of fear, said behind her.
That voice. She knows that voice. She could recognize it anywhere, anytime and any day even with her eyes closed.
Her hand that was holding the golden spear clenched tightly at it as she let go of the guard's hair and turned around to face the man she wanted to kill. The man she has grown to hate. The man that is...
Blinking her eyes at the sight before her.
The man that is... Drop-dead gorgeous.

Vampire Kingdom: Jold Chamber:
King Jold was seen pacing around his chamber and his son who sat down on his bed kept rolling his eyes as he stared at his father moving from one head of the room to the other.
"You won't keep walking forever father so out with whatever you want to say." Prince Aragorn told his father.
King Jold halts and faces his son in anger. "Do you know what she would have done to you if I hadn't step in?"
"What could she have done to me, father? I told her the truth. She is beautiful and I want her." He said the last part darkly.
Shaking his head at what his son was saying. "You don't know Raziah, she will kill you son. Did you not hear what she did to the other two kingdoms? Besides she is a hundred year old wolf and you are just a fifty year old Vampire. You don't want to mess with her so please stay away, far away from her." King Jold warned his son.
"Father you don't seem to understan-" Aragorn started saying but got interrupted by his father.
"I don't have to understand Aragorn but you are my only child and son and that is the only thing I understand. I don't want to lose you due to your carelessness even though I know what you can do," King Jold said. "Just stay away from and let's lie low."
"I like her and with time she will like me back." Prince Aragorn told his father.
"Son, she is evil, cold-hearted and her heart is made of stone."
"And yet she let me live. She is not cold stone hearted like you said father. She just has a lot of anger in her and I am going to find out why, because I like her."
"Why do you want to kill yourself Aragorn. Now let's forget about this and talk about the Kingdom and the reason why she came here in the first place. Raziah came here to tell me that she wants to take over this kingdom and rule over us. I will still be the King and you the Prince but we will be under her command and if we fail to do that. We will be at war which I don't want." King Jold told him worriedly.
Aragorn started laughing as if what his father was saying was a joke.
Picking an offence which didn't fail to show on his face King Jold growl slowly. "You think this is funny, huh?"
Shaking his head as he stopped laughing and smiled widely at his father. "Can't you see that the Creator's hand is in this, he made it possible for us to meet."
"I don't understand." King Jold anger was replaced by confusion.
Why was his son smiling like that? Did Raziah hit his head harder or on something?
King Jold thought to himself.
"We are perfectly made for each other, father. My powe-" he didn't complete his words 'power' when his father Interrupted him once again.
"Shhhh, keep your voice down, no one should know about your dark power," King Jold said in a hush tone.
"Oh father, you still don't get it." Prince Aragorn said, getting up from the bed, his face getting serious.
"Get what, son?" King Jold, furrowed his brows.
"Raziah is my Blood Singer."
