Young Master
Kris
"Tell him today.
I can't keep his heart much long--"
"ALRIGHT KRIS!
I GET IT!"
Hunnie yells irritatedly at me.
What the hell was her problem!
Pregnant Hunnie was so mood, always hard to please and understand!
"Well I don't ask for much Hunnie!
And, I'd like to get a move on about this.
Why should I be forced to hold his heart any longer?"
"ENOUGH KRIS!
It's hard on, ALL OF US!
I don't like being the middle...
You need to talk to him!
I am exhausted and mentally, CHECKED OUT!"
After listening to her vent, she was right.
There's no reason to place any stress on her and the baby. As a man I should face my problems head on. I just really wished Bahm would of said something that day, agree or beg me not to take his heart out, but he didn't say a thing. Now it's up to me, to put it all in motion.
"I'm sorry Hunnie.
I'll take things into my own hands.
Calm down before you kick my ass back home." I joked and she cuts me a glare as if she didn't believe me.
"Yeah right.
You don't even talk to him!"
"How can I Hunnie?
I can't even look at his face...
All I see is that monster he turned into that repeatedly punched and bit into me...and broke my bones and...and....Just how can I?" Hunnie cups my face as I go into my own rant as well.
"I'm sorry Kris.
It shouldn't be like this. It's my fault too--"
"No, It's not, Hunnie!
It's all Bahm's fault. He should have rejected Azalea when I told him to!
But enough down memory lane. I'll talk to him again before we go to bed."
"Try your hardest to be kind.
I'm worried about him, and you--"
"-That, I can't!
However it comes out."
Rubbing on her rump gently in the two piece bathing suite she just put on, we walked through the back door in our room, towards the lap pool and into the jacuzzi. Of course Leolo accompanied us, keeping his distance between as well as any servants that were assigned to keep an eye on Hunnie.
She was safe with me, and I didn't want to be bothered. That might be another thing I have to bring to Bahm's attention tonight. I don't need any servants around, and if I did, I'd just link our beta that lives here in the castle and delivers my food to my room.
According to Hunnie, Bahm has been sleeping a lot. Much more than I've ever remembered him doing, but it must be the fact he doesn't have to fight in The Demon Realm anymore. It must be a big relief and a big shock to his body since Hunnie destroyed it.
Did I do the right thing, listening to his mother about keeping Hunnie hidden?
My role here is much bigger than I want to admit also...
She was his mate for Heavens sake!
What kind of psychotic break would he hit when it came to her!!!
I should've just disobeyed them!
They all had a big part with Bahm too!
They were all afraid of him!
Why didn't I show him glimpses of Hunnie while he infiltrated my mind alone, and when he was beginning to learn English again! WHY!!
I could have worked her way back into his heart, and maybe he would've even loved me more that he portrayed to. He would've seen how intimately close we were and how much we really impacted each other.
"I'm getting sleepy.
Can we shower and take a nap?"
Hunnie starts whining while taking a stand from her seat in the jacuzzi.
"Yeah.
Let's go back, but I'll stay up."
While showering, or I should say, while I lathered Hunnie's body, she was so relaxed and I could see just how tired she was feeling. The jacuzzi temperature really did a number on her, plus she ate a pretty big lunch today.
Not even getting dressed and heading straight to bed, Hunnie cuddles under the covers naked after our shower and I kiss her lips. Feeling her stomach over the covers, I never got any movement when I went looking for our son.
Once I got dressed in only a black tank top and white sweats, I headed over to The Dining Hall, searching for some baked delicacies that I could take back to my chambers and replace in my pastry tray.
"G'D Evening Young Master Kris.
How do you!"
"Great Sir.
Anything worth taking?"
Jacorius, the head chef in the castle, begins stuffing pastries into a cardboard white box, one including frosted blueberry donuts, cinnamon rolls, cannolis, danishes and even eclairs! My eyes went wide. Hunnie will for sure enjoy these!
"Thanks, we'll take dinner an hour after Hunnie's awake."
"Yes Alpha Kris!"
Besides Nyku and Jacorius, those were the only two that I had any conversations with. Everyone else could kiss my ass!
Speaking of Nyku, I want to find where she is staying now. Rub it in her face that her nephew was already taking things from her and he wasn't even born yet! Haha!
With no scent of Bahm being near by, I took a stroll on his side of the castle, whiffing out Nyku's scent. It seemed close, as though she was just upstairs of the lounge room, and noticing that I was coming up on that hall, I might as well fetch a bottle of wine to have a glass with her.
As I entered the dark room, the atmosphere was humid and mucky. I scavenged though the bar, searching for the most bitter and most eldest bottle quietly.
"1942 Berlinger red," I said out loud, but then a sudden snore erupts throughout the room.
When I turned in the direction, I seen someone sitting on a chair and facing out the window. I flicker on the light in the kitchen to the back of the lounge room. Why is a servant sleeping in here!
Oh...
What the hell!...
It's Bahm!
His head fall back in the chair and he snores loudly once more, but this time he opens his eyes directly at me.
Shit!
I turn to leave, immediately grabbing my bottle off the counter. Why couldn't I get a whiff of his scent!
"Kris."
His voice stop me in my tracks.
What does he even want!
However, I do have to tell him the removal of his heatr was happening no matter what he said. I was serious about all of this. He should to prepare for the return of it in his body.
I have a weird feeling he's been stalling!
"If its not about your prepare to take your heart back, then I don't want to ear what it is you have to say."
I continued walking towards the back doorway when silence fills the air, but then he desperately opens his mouth again, this time misery filled his voice.
"We really have to talk...Kris.
I'll...I'll tell you why...I've been stalling."
The nervous hairs on my body rises swiftly, but then I calmed my nerves. Sighing, I walk over and behind him, leaning back on the bar as he begins to speak.
"Kris...
I can't...take back my heart--"
"Bahm, you can and you will!
It's not your decision!"
Deepening my tone, I remained assertive. No matter what he says, how much he loves me or wants forgiveness, there's nothing that'll make me keep this thing, any longer.
"No Kris, you don't understand. I can't...I ... something's happened where it isn't a good idea to place the heart back right now."
My eyes rolls to the back of my head. He'll say anything to try and convince me.
"Bahm! I don't want it!
If you don't take it back, thats fine, but Im taking it out mysel--"
"Kris!
I have a new demon inside of me!
Bahm blurts standing from his chair and facing me.
Did I hear that right?
Another demon?
From Hell?
Bahms stares into my eyes while he we both stood rooted to our spots.
"Say something!" He says as I process his statement.
"Why!
Another Demon?
Why??
Like....Like you absorbed a new one?" I shrieked confusingly, not understanding why it would be a problem now.
"Yes," he sighs and lowers his head in shame before tucking his hands in his pockets.
"I underestimated him...He's...
He's strong...
I....
I'm...sorry Kris. I can't take it back."
His mumbled words pierced my ears like a dagger.
"Strong?
What does that mean now?
Are we safe?
Are you in control of yourself, or not?"
"Yeah...
Yeah...
I got it under control. I just need more time." He shakes his head but avoid my eyes. More time for what!
"What kind of demon did you absorb?
Why did you do this? They don't belong on earth!"
"Shh...I haven't told anyone yet.
I think...I think I fucked up big time, Kris."
"HOW!
What is it?" A roar slips from my throat unintentionally, and I began approaching him closely.
He had bags under his yes, indicating that he hadn't been sleeping like he's told Hunnie. I even smell alcohol on his breath from here.
His silence and no answer to my question made me worry.
"Bahm!
What.
Kind.
Of.
Demon..
Is in your body!!"
He sighs, closing his eyes and taking his hands out from his pockets to swipe his face harshly.
"Hell's...Gate Keeper."
