By All means, he's now
Gracia's POV.
I swallowed a deep lump down my throat when Zakuski immediately dropped down from the bed, wearing his black robe, and rushed out of the room. His eyes were focused as he briefly stared at me, and he apologized before walking away. I could clearly see in his eyes that he was not happy with the way things turned out. I am trying so hard to calm my nerves, but I'm unable to. I feel I can feel the pain of Adrian from here. I was swept over by guilt while wondering why I had allowed myself to go so far with Zakuski despite knowing the type of person that he is. I took a deep breath before I climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. When I was done, I came back to the room. As I started pacing back and forth, I tried sending Adrian a mind link, but it was like he was almost unreachable. Then someone walked in. I lifted my gaze to see who it was. My mouth hung open when I saw the man who had whispered to Zakuski. His hands were in his pockets as he walked up to me. "You look worried. Don't be, because I believe Zakuski would take care of you more than Adrian would." There was something about him that I couldn't place my hand on.
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh, sorry I haven't introduced myself; my name is Jonathan."
"Leave..." I commanded immediately.
"Oh, isn't that too rude?"
"I said leave before I make you do so."
He lifted his hands in surrender. "Okay, I'll leave, but remember that only you can tame Adrian, and only you have successfully managed to get close to him." When he said that, he smiled as he walked away; his words made me feel that it could be something he wanted from me.
Then the voice of the young lady who had interrupted Zakuski alerted me. I turned to look at her; she was standing by the door, her eyes speaking of an unhidden fear. She walked up to me, and before she sat down on the bed, she said, "I am very sorry for walking into the room without knowing; I just wanted to help."
I lifted my eyebrow in confusion. "Help? What do you mean by that?"
"I know you don't want to have sex with Zakuski, even though your body was betraying you, and that's why I had to come into the room."
When she said that, I felt grateful, because I was no longer myself when everything happened; I allowed myself to be consumed by my pleasure that I was allowing Zakuski despite knowing what he did.
"Thank you, I don't know how to appreciate what you did," I said with a smile. She also smiled before she requested a hug from me. I couldn't deny her as I extended my hand for a hug. Her gentle appearance made me unable to say no. She appreciated me as she hugged me.
"Sorry, my name is Emelia," she introduced.
"I am Garcia," I answered her.
Emelia's POV.
I swallowed hard. I was scared because I didn't want her to detect my intention. After the hug, I hurriedly excused myself before I left the room, and then I went to my room. My heart raced so fast; many unspoken thoughts ran through my mind. I felt so scared. I can't help the feeling. I tried as much as possible to ignore the thought of being caught, but it still lingered. I took a deep breath as I stared at the strands of her hair in my hand. I had managed to get hold of her hair when I had hugged her.
I sat down while clenching my hand in a tight fist. I felt an unknown ache within me as I recalled the times we shared with Zakuski and the sacrifices I had made to him, and in return, he went after another lady; he was ready to sacrifice the entire kingdom for her. I swallowed a lump down my throat because I knew I should never go this far, but I can't help it, knowing how much I have always loved Zakuski and the effort I have made in the past in order for him to notice me, but he never did, and it really hurts.
I wore my black clothes before I walked out of the room with the few strands of hair. I took gentle strides through the long hallway and then out of the palace before going into the forest. I walked further until I reached a small cottage in the middle of the forest. I walked further before I knocked. The door slightly opened without anyone standing on the other side of the door. I wasn't afraid like the last time I had come here. Before I walked in, Sebastian was sitting on his old wooden chair; his gaze was fixated on the burning fire under the chimney. He wore his old grey clothes, which matched his long grey hair and wrinkled face.
"Have you brought the hair that I had asked you to?"
"Yes, I have." I said gently before walking up to him and handing the few strands of hair, he briefly stared at it, his gaze was intense before his lips sprawled into a smile, he then brought out a box which had his incantations tools, he brought a bottle of liquid as he poured it on the strands, his eyes twisted as he spoke in a foreign language, when he was done he turned to me and said something very shocking, "Zakuski is not a demon but a dragon, they are long lost twins and hence they are destined to have one mate and which is Garcia and that was the reason she has been unable to resist him, and that's why Zakuski wants her so badly despite the obstacles involved, so I suggest that you make her leave the kingdoms before Zakuski makes love to her because I'm Afraid you might never have Zakuski again even in your dreams."
