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

TWENTY YEARS AGO

A cold breeze blew passed caressed through their ears like it was trying to tell them something. The magic rays of the glorious and golden sun were shining on them. The beautiful, stunning flowers were dancing with the breeze. 
In the middle of the massive garden, Perseus was sitting next to Kendrio, observing his surroundings. He smiled as his eyes moved towards the beautiful patio.

He still couldn't believe that he had such a beautiful woman by his side as his queen. 

Everything seemed to be perfect. 

He sighed as an unsettling feeling again dominated his mind, something was not right, he was not able to quite predict what was wrong, but his intuition couldn’t be wrong.

"So, Perseus what do you think about my offer?" Kendrio asked with a huge grin. Few wrinkles formed on the outer corners of his eyes as his grin grew bigger, his curly blonde hairs were resting peacefully on his forehead. And his curious blue eyes looking at Perseus. 

"I think your offer is quite beneficial but I think my wife wouldn't appreciate it," Perseus said glancing at Kyleigh. Sensing someone's gaze on her, Kyleigh looked up and met with Perseus's green gaze. 

She smiled.

"Women should remain out of men's matter. They should be left in dark." Kendrio said noticing the small interaction between the couple. 

Perseus shook his head in disbelief.

"Men are nothing without women, my friend. Women shouldn't be kept in dark they should stand beside their soul mate." 

Kendrio smirked at him.

"Whatever you say, my friend, but for me, women will always be weak, pathetic, helpless way of god to punish us. They are only meant for pleasure."

Perseus couldn't believe that the man who called himself his friend, was unable to understand him.

How could he say these vile things about women?

"Well whatever, I don't want to argue with you over some useless shit. I am here for your opinion. So again. Will you accept my offer or not?" Kendrio's offer was terrifying. Perseus didn't want to accept it. It was an inhumane thing to do.

Kendrio wanted Perseus to offer him his army so that they could easily vanish the human race from the face of the Earth. Kendrio believed that humanity didn't deserve to be lived. This world should be ruled by supernatural creatures. 
Perseus sighed.

"I still can't understand why you want them vanished, but I can't let you do this. This is a betrayal to God and we can't destroy his creation."

Perseus's voice was unhappy.

Even, no one should destroy God's creation.

"It means you're not going to stand with me," Kendrio snarled showing his canines.

"I am with you, but not on this," Perseus stood up, fearing he might lose his mind and something which he might regret later.

Before Perseus could take a step towards Kyleigh, a blood-curdling scream burst into the air. He immediately looked up and froze there to death. 

There laying Nora, Kendrio's wife, in her pool of blood. And Kyleigh was crouching next to her with a sharp blade embedded in her arm. 

Perseus's breath hitched, looking at his wife in a state of agony. He ran towards her but before he could touch her, a sharp dagger sliced his bicep. 

However the simple weapons didn't do any harm, but the blade which sliced his arm was made up of silver.

"Charge!" A voice yelled. Perseus looked over his shoulder. His eyes widened in recognition. 

His second in command, Kenneth, was attacking his people. Perseus couldn't believe his eyes.

Several screams could be heard before their surrounding broke into a panic. Kendrio had unsheathed his sword as he was trying to fight men coming his way. 

Perseus immediately stood to his feet as he pulled the dagger out of his arm and the next thing he knew, he was slicing Kenneth's throat.

The kingdom was attacked, by whom, they didn't know. 
Nora's screams filled the whole situation with dread as one well-armored man started dragging her by her hair. 

"Surrender or you will watch her getting her throat sliced." His voice boomed in the air.

"Stop! please! no!" Kyleigh cried as another man grabbed her by her neck, tightening his hold.

Both Perseus and Kendrio turned toward the commotion. Perseus's eyes darkened with rage and furry. 

"Leave her!" Perseus growled. 

"Surrender, then." The man smirked in his direction.

Perseus lost his temper completely. On another side, Kendrio was trying to pry the men off him.

He couldn't understand what had happened a few moments ago. How could they get attacked? 

The whole castle was in chaos, workers running for their lives. Soldiers fighting the men. 

"Leave her!" This time Perseus gritted. His eyes were turning darker shades of green. His wolf was trying to take over but he knew better than to grant him access as it was very dangerous for Kyleigh.

Man pulled Kyleigh up by her hair, making her scream grow louder in agony. 

Perseus's whole body shook with rage, he closed his eyes and run towards the man and landed on his four paws. 

He has turned into his Grey wolf. With his super speed, he jumped on the man. Kyleigh elbowed the man and rolled away from them.

The man landed on the ground with a loud thud with Perseus's wolf hovering above him. With one slash, Perseus dig his claws onto the sides of man. 

He tossed the dead body away from him, as he heard another scream of Nora. He abruptly turned his hairy head towards the voice and lunged in the air, aiming for the man who was grabbing Nora by her hairs. 

As Perseus was an inch away, the man smirked at him. But before he could think anything, Nora's body hit the ground with a thump.
