The Return of the Queen
Prologue
Alone in the dark room, Theran held a picture of Sadi and says: "Sadi thinks he has all the Blood males grabbed by their cocks! Never underestimate an enemy as inferior as it may seem. You arrogant bastard! You may wear the Black but your family will be your downfall. Who would have thought that Eyrien son of a whore would ease your doom? Dark should have never been allowed to relate to a lower caste."
He looks at a tall, devastatingly handsome and sinister man and kneels in front of him and kisses the Black of his ring.
"My Lord"'
The man looks at Theran and simply says: "Patience…."
Argon had survived the Purge by taking refuge in the Keep. He had foreseen Dorothea's doom on a web since he was a Black Widow. He survived all these years by living in solitude and secrecy. Such power and such control were unheard of. That no one sensed his ability was a testimony to his power. Capable of such deceit that even the High Lord of Hell never knew about him. Even the most skilled Warlord Prince could not perceive his true essence. He knew no loyalty, nor love or Queen. Instead of making a spectacle of his temper on the courts, he succeeded and excelled at the art of mystery.
"You will serve me Theran, and your loyalty will be mine. The time has come to claim what is rightfully mine. Everyone will know and fear the power of the Black. Sadi will no longer walk the realms. His love is his weakness. His arrogance will be humbled. If people fear him, they have no idea what pain is. I have killed every witch that I had laid with, destroyed the bitch that gave life to me and by the name of the Darkness, will kill Daemon not before he watches his Queen riding my cock .So be it"
Chapter 1
The following events take place after the story of "Family". Italic words mean thoughts.
Jaenelle stares at her reflection on the mirror in her bedroom. For the first time, she dares to admire the attractive woman with an exotic face that stares at her with haunting and intriguing eyes. She was finally healed and ready to take charge of the next task as the ruler of Halaway; a woman in love and a magnificent Queen. She had accepted a 5 year contract after Sylvia's physical death. She was eager to rule. Something inside her ached for it. She needed to nurture the land and the land was claiming her.
If only …
She dares to imagine what a child of Daemon and her would look like. Her body trembles and shakes in a way that she never experienced before. Not even in Sadi's arms she felt this. A maternal instinct; a new feeling that made her whole took her. She needed to give Daemon a child. She wanted a child. She had dreamed with a beautiful boy with sapphire eyes and black hair. She saw him called her and reached for her in the abyss.
The decision was made; at least on her part. That day she decided she would no longer drink the contraceptive brew. The first part was done. The difficult task lied ahead. Daemon must give his willing seed and he had made clear his intentions of not wanting a child. Jaenelle knew he longed for a child. Sadness took her.
Beale walks into Deamon's study and reminds him that the Possession Ceremony of the Queen of Halaway is tonight and preparations had started.
"Surreal and Rainier, I must get ready"
"Sugar, tonight I will have many eyes on me so I hope the males of this family leave me alone. Stop scaring anyone that dares to look at me. I am a grown woman and can take care of myself. I do not intent to be alone forever".-Surreal said. Rainier immediately shifted place on his chair and took a defensive posture. Deamon was intrigue.
"Cousin, you know we worry about you and just want what's best for you. We never meant to make you unhappy. I guess it's time to step out and let you take control of your decisions and trust your judgment". Deamon says and immediately looks at Rainier and sees him frowning. "Well…I must go. My Lady expects me to look dapper and escort her looking my best. I have no doubts that the Warlords in attendance will be mesmerized with your beauty". His sensual heat was leashed but he allowed it to creep just enough to make Surreal shivered while he kissed her knuckles".
Surreal looks at Reiner a little embarrassed and says: "Damn you, Sadi".
After leaving the studio, Daemon can't control his laughter and knew for certain that Surreal would be furious now. He knew the effect it had on women when he did that.
It was time. Surreal, Marion, Karla and Jaenelle had all decided to get ready and stayed at the Hall tonight. It was a full house and all the women looked dashing. Tonight they wore designer's dresses. Karla had insisted that tonight was a special night. As Jaenelle's best friend and confident, she knew her more than anyone else. This is why she convinced Jaenelle to let go of the humbleness for one night and make the extra effort tonight.
"Mother Night, Daemon won't be able to hold his cock inside his pants for the entire evening. He has never seen you like this. My friend, you owe me big time sister. Kiss kiss" Karla felt so proud that she had to wipe a tear in order to not embarrass herself. She gave her friend a hug and in that moment let Jaenelle know how much she cared for her and just how grateful she was for everything she did for her when she needed her the most.
Daemon steps into the room to escort Jaenelle out and when he sees Jaenelle his appreciation for the gown is impossible to ignore. His temper raised because he knew tonight would be a difficult one for him. His Warlord Prince's temper and possessiveness would have to be kept on a leash. All eyes would be on his Queen. He looked at the rest of the women and complimented them. "Ladies, are you trying to get us killed tonight?" The women simply laughed a mischievous laughter.
Daemon kissed his Queen long and hard. He heard the annoyance of the women around. They had enough. "Mother night, how can anyone live in this house with you two is beyond me? Leash it Prince. Doesn't she look ravishing? Kiss kiss".
He smiled at Karla. "Was this your idea? You just caused me a whole lot of trouble Lady. He looked at his wife and simply said: "you are exquisite sweetheart". He whispered in her ear. "I will show you tonight what I mean by that ". " Mother Night". Jaenelle says as her knees just gave up for a second and breathed out.
Her gown was midnight blue and decorated with hundreds of sapphire jewels. Tailored to accentuate her curves, she wore an exquisite design from a famous artist. Being Daemon's lover had done things to her body that made it more sensual. The way she moved was feline and very much attuned with Daemon's. Her cleavage left just enough to the imagination. Her makeup,designed to accentuate her eyes. those sapphire eyes that could bring a man to his knees. Never had Jaenelle looked more beautiful than tonight.
'Sweetheart, let's get to the ceremony. Tonight we shall dance as one'. Daemon kissed her hand and walked her to the Coach. On his way outside of the Hall he simply whispered. "Mine".
