Chained to the prince of darkness by Lunasads (books for 10th graders TXT) 📖

"We need her and you know that. Then why are you being a douche bag and ruining all this?" Her nose flared with anger. 

The sharpness of her voice rang all around the room, shaking the walls with it. She was visibly angry, he could tell. But it wasn't anything he never witnessed before.

He sat there, on his throne unbothered, sipping his wine and twisting his face now and then, not liking the taste. 

"Are you even listening, Perseus?" She grumbled angrily, stomping her heels on the golden carpet made of pure gold. 

"It tastes like shit," Perseus again twisted his mouth in distaste as he take another sip.

"Ugh..." She groaned in frustration trying to get his attention. 

Perseus looked at women, standing in front of him, trying to get his attention but failing miserably. He smirked at her as he saw her chocolaty orbs turning violet with furiousness. 

"Calm down, darling. Anger doesn't suit you," his words added fuel to her anger. She sighed deeply trying to regain her composure, her eyes turning to their original color. 

"Please, Perseus. Try to understand. I'm not going to lose her," she said as she walked towards the large couch and sunk herself in. "Not again".

She gulped hard remembering the tragic incident, the incident which take her heart away from her, that take her daughter away from her. 

Perseus put his glass down on the table and stood to his full height. His blue cloak draped down his back ends touching the floor. 

"Neither am I," he stated adamantly while he took a seat down next to her, pulling her into his arms. She nuzzled her face into his chest. 

"I want to see her, I want to see the women she has grown into," her voice cracked as she tried hard not to cry. 

"I bet she will be more like me. With my hair color and with same eyes as me," Perseus rubbed her back soothingly, trying to lighten her mood.

She quickly pulled away and looked up at him, frowning.

"No. You are ugly." She creased her nose in fake disgust. Perseus narrowed his brows and smiled at her childish comment.

"And you, my dear, love this ugly man," he said as he pulled her onto his lap. She gasped as she was taken aback.
He looked into her eyes, admiring the beauty she possessed. She truly did justice to her name, Kyleigh.

"No, I've changed my mind. I want her to look like you," she blushed to hide her face in the crook of his neck and embrace. 

"She will recognize us?" She asked sounding broken. 

"I'm afraid, love," Perseus said sounding sorrowful. His mind drifted back to the conversation he had with Cassian. He unknowingly squeezed her in his arms. Perseus's body stiffened. 

"What are you hiding from me?" She said rubbing her hands on his chest, trying to soothe him. 

"I know where she is." He said lowly afraid she might get angry again. 

She stilled, her hands stopped their movements, his words echoed in her mind. 

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She said coldly. Perseus knew this would happen. He didn't say anything but kept his arms securing around her. She unwrapped her arms and stood on his lap, softly.

"Where is she?" She asked, narrowing her eyes. Her voice is oddly calm. 

Quiet before the explosion.

"You wouldn't like to hear," 

"Tell me." She growled loudly.

"REYNES," 

She looked at him startled, her eyes widened, mouth parted slightly.

"It can't be," she whispered in disbelief, looking into his eyes, hoping he was just bluffing.

"It's true, Kyleigh," he said breaking her hope. He didn't want to tell her, he knew that it would break her.

REYNES.

Ruled by Lucifer Ximen Celeste.

Most feared shapeshifter, a Hybrid— wolf— vampire, ruthless creature.

"She...she won't survive there," she panicked as she paced around the room, like pacing around will bring her back.
She was well acquainted with that place, how can she forget those terrible incidences. Her mind goes back to that horrific day when her son was killed by Lucifer. 

And she was not able to save him. His horrific screams of agony still ringed in her ears. Those nightmares never left her. 

And worst of all, her daughter, her Safina, was there. 

"You....you have to talk to him. You have to bring her back. He will kill her just like he killed Raeman." She shrieked. Tears flowed through her eyes. Thinking of her dead son always brings rage to her heart. Tears descended her face and turned crystal as they reached her cheeks. 

These thoughts didn't bring any peace to her mind, her panicked self roamed around the room, breathing rapidly. Perseus stood there looking at his wife, acting like a maniac. Heaving in anger, and worry. 

Something has to be done.

Someone has to save her.

He looked at her as she suddenly stopped in her steps and abruptly turned towards him. 

Something was going on in her mind, something which he wouldn’t like.

Her eyes glowed violet.

He sighed as he understand that whatever she was going to say will not be going to please him, not even a bit.

"I'm going there to get her, and you are not going to stop me," she pointed her finger towards him and stomped away towards the door.

Before she could grab the knob, she was pulled away by hands on her arms.

"No, you are not," Perseus growled, his eyes darkening with rage. 

She coldly pulled her hand away.

"I have already lost my firstborn, I am not going to lose another." 

"Stop me, I dare you." She gritted. 

Perseus clenched his jaw. But didn't do anything to stop her. He didn't stop her as she abruptly turned around and left the room in hurry. 

"I take my words back, I don't want her to be like you!" He shouted angrily.
