Lilian POV

It has been a week since Demonia left The Vale and today is the day he is scheduled to arrive home, since his departure the Palace has been most uncomfortable, especially since it's been so long since I've left to go outside.

No one is letting me leave and I'm beyond upset, so is my wolf.

I can't wait for Demonia to come home so I can finally feel at ease again, with the rumors traveling around the Palance and the fact I can't escape them from not being allowed out, I need to speak to him about it and find out what is really going on with these whispering rumors everyone seems to know about but me.

I want to know the truth.

I pull my knees up to my chest and stare out the palace window overlooking The Vale, it's so beautiful and quiet from all the way up here, but I can help but feel lonely having no one but my maid to speak to.

No one dares look at me, never mind speak to me. Whenever I enter a room everyone bows their head and averts their eyes from mine and I can't help but feel like it has something to do with how much people fear Demonia and the Black name.

A knock at my door makes me tilt my head to the side to see the door open and a familiar face pops out from behind the door.

The man known as Tobias bows in front of me. "Your majesty."

"I have come to tell you that His Majesty has arrived in The Vale and sends for your presence in the great hall for lunch."

I smile happily and lower myself from the window I was sat near. "Thank you Tobias."

He smiles then bows before me, he opens the door then shuts it behind him as I walk towards my mirror and check over my hair and clothes.

I've missed him so much, his scent, his smile, the way his eyes see straight through me, everything about my mate makes me tremble but in a very pleasant way.

Without him has been horrible, the mate bond is very strong between us, and the moment he left The Vale I felt my heart clench with pain from the distance between us, I had wished I could go with him, to see where he grew up.

I had heard things from The Vale about The Shadow Lands, most are wonderful but then there are the dangers that lay within the realm, it is no secret that Renoan dislike wolves, and they practice Dark Magic, magic that has been banned here within The Vale from how dangerous and deadly it is in the wrong hands.

Anyone who practices magic in The Vale is punished by death or worse, sent to The Silver Forge prison under The Vale, it is an inescapable prison, surrounded by magic and hidden that only the royal family and members of the council know of its location and purpose.

No one that enters the forge ever escapes, it scares even I of its presence, knowing that as I sleep... somewhere under the ground are creatures of all kind trapped in silver, forever, in a prison that is built like a maze.

I had nightmares as a child about being trapped in there, my father would tell me that if I misbehaved I would end up there, or he would send me there without a second thought.

My wolf hearing picks up voices from in front of the Palance and I can sense Demonia, I'm moving before I even think about it, my feet are moving on their own as I leave my bedroom and excitably make my way down the hall the best I could in a dress, as elegant as the one I'm wearing.

The closer I get to the middle of the palace the more I smell Demonia, his scent is all I have craved this past week, I had struggled to even sleep without him by my side that I shamefully had rolled up one of his shirts and slept with it at night.I see Demonia as I walk down the stairs, the moment his eyes gaze on me, they stay there and a grin forms on his lips, my stomach does flips when he smiles at me.

He is so handsome, I have missed him so much! He's finally home.

Demonia walks up to me and picks me up. "I missed you wife." He says huskily, grinning up at me.

I wrap my hands around his neck as he lowers me and I sigh out happily. "As have I, I'm so glad you're home."

He leans in and kisses me on the cheek and then whispers in my ear, not before biting down on my ear lobe gently. "I brought gifts for you."

My belly flutters as his rich and deep voice send shivers throughout my whole body. "Really?" I smile widely as look behind him as it's true, servents are carrying luxury boxes of all sizes from the back of the carriage and walking with them into the Palance, past Demonia and I.

Demonia laces his hand in mine and drags me along with him. "But first, I want to eat." He says lowly, his eyes filled with lust as he looks over my body and walks with me.

Where is he taking me? This isn't the way to the dining hall for lunch, nor is it the way to our bedroom. "Demonia?-"

He opens up a door to a room I have yet to see, pulling me inside I don't get the chance to look around as Demonia rips the clothes in half from my body in a single motion and I'm stunned, stood there in my undergarments and shoes.

I look up to Demonia and he's breathing heavily, removing his jacket and ripping his shirt off, he moves closer to me until my back his the door. He lifts me causing me to squeal as his large hands hold me up by his hands on my ass.

"Need you, now," He growls out, his eyes firing red and his horns large and free.

He looks absolutely threatening but I don't see that, I see how beautiful and amazing he is, he simply takes my breath away when I see him like this, his true form is truly a magnificent sight to behold.

I nod my head shyly and he moves with me, his forehead never leaving mine as our eyes glued to each other, I feel Demonia lower me until my back hits something soft.

Demonia kisses my neck and I feel his large fangs graze my skin with every kiss and lick as he moans out kissing my neck, every touch sends my body into heat and I'm pining for more.

"Do you have any idea how much I missed you?" He growls out lowly and the sound tickles my ear and makes my pussy flutter.

Shaking my head I feel him smirk against my skin. "So fucking much.. all I thought about was you like this.." He growls out like a beast and grinds his lower body on me and I can feel emotionally and physically just how much he has missed me, and it makes me so happy because I feel the same for him as he does for me.

My nails dig into his back as I feel his large length press roughly against me. "D-Demonia.. please." I moan out as his tongue and lips tease me around the mark on my neck.

He chuckles. "Please what? Tell me what you want, I'll give you anything you ask." He whispers lowly, his lips grazing my skin as he travels down my neck to my chest.

I swallow hard and whine out. "Y-You, I want you to.. touch me.."

His head lifts slightly and he smirks at me, my heart speeds up when I feel his fingers enter inside me slowly, teasingly slow as I bite my lip to stop myself from screaming out as the sensation is making me want to lose my mind.

His fingers pump in and out of me as Demonia leaves soft kisses all over my stomach until he removes my bra. His tongue swirls around my nipple and I feel incredibly close to my undoing as he enters another finger inside of me.
