CHAPTER 2

  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 and 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 Demons 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. "You must save us from danger if we can't handle it."

  "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. 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 happen he would have controlled his dick and stopped himself from raping Mary, Raziah's 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, 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 armor 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 rapped 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 armor and boots for me every day?" She didn't wait for his answers and dismissed him.
