Chapter 9.9

Susan's POV

My life is so fucked up right now and all credits for it goes to my annoying demon of a mate.

I have lost my mother and friends in the human world and now, I am on the verge of loosing also the only person whom I had left.

I break out in sobs, I scream and cry to relieve all the pains in my heart. I cry more louder and painfully, putting all my frustrations and the pent up overwhelming feelings into the tears.

'Hey, why are you crying? Look I brought you some food, the food I could not give to you earlier since you decided to jump through the window and pay Lucifer a visit.' As I continue to cry, I hear the annoying voice of Jones in my ears. I did not even notice the door open or maybe, he did not even come through the door, he is a damn demon and I would not be surprised if he even teleported here.

'Take your stupid food away you demon, all this misfortunes happening to me is because of you and you still have the guts to joke about this?' I say to him angrily as I wipe a tear off my cheek.

'Oh yeah? So now, I am the one who told you to jump through the window? May I remind you that you are the one who decided to go and leave your best-friend behind?' He says as he puts the food beside me on the bed. The way he is acting so cool about everything even though he is the roots of all the ongoing evil happenings in my life makes me want to punch him hard straight in the face but what good will come out of punching an annoying demon king? Nothing!

'You think it is not your fault huh? You think if is not your fault that you decided to take me from my world against my will? You want to tell me that it is not your fault that my whole existence have been wiped from my home, you think it is not your fault that I have lost my friend?' I scream at him loudly through painful sobs. I want to beat him on his chest and let all my pains on him.

'Hey look, I know it is hard for you to accept the new reality but what you did too was wrong. I accept that I also did wrong and I want you to try and get over it. What I did was for my own selfish reasons and I accept that fact but if was for your own good too. It was time for me to have my better half and the mate bond was making me restless, if I had not come for you sooner than later, I would have gone out of control and these creatures here would have had no one to rule over them and there would be imbalance between heaven, hell and the abyss.' Jones tells me but I still do not even know how that would have even affected me.

'And how would the imbalance between hell, heaven and the abyss affect me? Just so that you know, I do not really care about you, neither do I care about the demons and the lost souls or your fucking realms so I would have been so glad if you had just let me be in my realm with my mother and my friends.' I say with a firm tone, staring at him right in the eyes to let him know that I mean every word that I have just uttered.

'The imbalance would have affected you because the demons and lost souls would have taken advantage of that to break through the walls that separates earth and these realms, they would have come to the human world and trust me, when there is no one with authority to keep these creatures under control, they can cause greater damage plus the mate bond would have made you so restless that people would start perceiving you to have mental disorders.' Jones tells me in a very cool voice. To say I am not surprised at how calm he is will be an understatement. I was expecting him to act more differently, I was expecting him to even shout at me but rather, he is surprising me with this calm demeanor.

'Why are you being so calm towards me even though I am behaving rude to you?' I ask him as I wipe the tears off my eyes.

'What good would come out of this conversation if we both decide to shout in each other's face? You do not understand things and I think the least I can do is to explain things more vividly for you to understand.' He says and a smile breaks on my lips. I know he is a demon but I also know he is not that bad as he makes himself look.

I think I can't do anything about the reality now so I am just going to embrace things and try to get into Jones' heart.

After all, I have had a crush on him and now that I know that he is rightfully mine, now that I know that he is my soulmate and we are meant to be together, I will try my every best to win his heart and have a blissful stay with him here. This is the new reality and I have no choice but to embrace it with an open heart.

'You know you are not a bad person as you make yourself look. Right?' I tell him as I scoot closer to him, since he has moved to sit on the bed.

'Hey, do not think that just that I am being a little nice towards you means that I am suddenly interested in you.

You are just a weak human chosen by nature to be my mate and you humans can't go really long without food and water so go on and eat the food I got for you, there is water too in that bag.' He says as he points to the bag he previously placed beside me on the bed. I know he is just trying to put up walls around him but I am going to try as hard as humanly possible to penetrate inside those walls.

'Oh and then comes the grumpy demon.' I say teasingly as I pick up the bag. It contains a bottle of water and some rice, fruits and veggies and I must admit it smells really good.

'Come on, eat and stop talking, it is a bad eating habit to talk whiles you eat.' He says to me in a stern voice.

What is with this man and manners? Ah he is acting like some strict old father now.

'Oh.. wait! I forgot to ask you something that has been on my mind for quite sometime now.' I say with my mouth full with rice. I have been so famished that I am eating the food like some starved animal.

'Go on and ask then? And hey, take your time with the food or you may choke on it, no one will take it away from you. It is all yours to eat.' He says and I think I see a smile on his lips but it disappears immediately which makes me think I am just imagining the impossible to be possible.

I ignore his snide remark about the way I am eating and go on to ask my question.

'You know, when I was still in the human realm, I had been having these strange dreams of a man who would appear in my dreams everyday and would be telling me I am his and I could never run away from him, in one dream too, I played with fire without it hurting me so you know, I wanted to ask if perhaps, you were that man plus I do not get why these dreams only started when I reached my twenties.' I tell him, staring straight in his eyes, searching for an emotion but I see nothing.

'Yes, I was the man but it was not really me and you were able to play with fire in your dream and will be able to play with fire right now in reality because all the sons of my father have control over the four elements, fire, water, earth and air and so does are mates once we give them our marks.' He explains to me as I continue to eat the food, I eat slowly this time round.

'Oh right but what do you mean by it was you but it was not you at the same time? You sound really confusing you know?' I tell him as I tilt my head to the side to get a good look at his face.

'You see, the demon in me also recognizes you as my mate and in order to prevent you from having any interactions with other men, it joins forces with the mate bond to do something that will scare you from wanting another man. Normally, these dreams will start once you hit your teens but I think you only realized it when you reached your twenties.' He tells me and I only shake my head in understanding.

I open my mouth to talk again but Jones beat me to it.

'Hey concentrate on eating and after that prepare a bath for yourself, I think you need it. I will take you to meet some people after that. Jones tells me but I am even done with the food and I am only eating the fruits.

'Okay daddy Jones.' I say teasingly.

'Hey, I am not your dad and from now on, just call me abbadon, we are no more in the human realm so there is no need to call me by that. And I can see you are done with the food so just go on and take a bathe.' He says seriously, even though I am just trying to have some fun with him.

'You are such a kill joy abbadon.' I tell him with a pout.

'Come on, shoo, I do not want to wait anymore longer, go and be quick.' He says as he shoves me inside the bathroom.

This demon can be really annoying, gosh! I do not even know who is so important that he can't just wait a few minutes that he is rushing me like that.

I know things have not really been very good between us but I am glad that we can at least have a civil conversation, I see it as a great improvement. I know things will be well.

'Who is this person that you want to introduce me to?' I shout from the bathroom to him.

'They are actually people and you can just speak in your normal tone, you do not really need to shout, I can hear you even if you whisper, thanks to my demon abilities.' He says and I just hum in response.

'So what are you doing out there?' I ask him again. I know I should just keep quiet and enjoy my bathe but I just can't seem to get my mouth to shut up, it just keeps on going with the questions.

Something in me just wants to be sure that he is right here with me and the sound of his voice seems to calm me.

'I am arranging clothes for you, oh why, you want me to join you in the bathroom?' He asks teasingly and I just roll my eyes.

'Why are you arranging my clothes for me? I can do that on my own.' I tell him.

'I have nothing to do plus you will love the clothes I have selected for you to choose from.' He says and a smile breaks on my face. He may not be noticing it but I know I am slowing penetrating through his walls and before he realizes it, I would be way deep inside it to be sent back.

'Okay, I am done with the bathe.' I tell him as I finish drying myself with a clean white towel. It is just so funny that a color, so opposite to this realm would be found here.

'Alright step out then? We need to get you ready.' Abbadon tells me.

'Like seriously? You do not need to help me get ready! You helped by choosing clothes, thank you for your service but you will not be needed anymore so please excuse me.' I tell him with a firm voice, telling him indirectly that I do not want any objections but he does not have any of if.

'Okay I will get out but first, come out.' He says calmly. I wrap the towel around my body as a naughty thought manages its way into my mind, it comes into my mind to seduce him but I immediately dismiss that thought.

I step out, only covered in the piece of towel that exposes my legs to the sinful eye of my demon mate.

Abbadon stares at me without blinking, he does not hide the fact that he is liking what he is seeing.

'Hey, you are staring.' I whisper timidly to him. Ugh! Susan you are so pathetic!

'Oh right, I will be out to give you some space. I will be just outside the door so call me when you are done.' He says as he matches towards the door.

'Hey, you mentioned about some marking, when do you plan on giving me your mark?' I ask him and he halts at the door. It seems like I just hit a forbidden sport and I begin to regret asking him the question.

'Woman, do not overuse the little freedom you have been given. I am not going to give you my mark and that is final, do not ask me about it again if you want to be on my good side.' Abbadon says as he stares briefly at my face. I do not fail to notice that his eyes has again began to glow and that alone makes me know that I hit a bad spot.

His eyes flowed when I tried to escape and that time, he was super angry.

I think I have messed up real big, fuck!
