Chapter 13: Chapter 13

It was not possible. I thought to myself while staring at Lukas. Why would he abduct me after leaving the very next day? My hands were shaking as I lost my footing, trying to hold steady on my feet. The need to get out of there was intensifying.

Seeing his face after trying to forget it was difficult. No wonder that he send someone to abduct me in that way. He knew my address. I should have connected the dots earlier it would have saved me a lot of shocks.

Taking a deep breath I looked around, "Why am I here?"

His face tightened as he sat on the couch opposite me. The silence in the room was deafening and made me hear every little sound, like the clock ticking, the wind blowing past us and creaking of the door.

"Because there is something important you need to know"

My face changed at that. He had the audacity to say those words when he left me behind like I did not even matter. Not even a single explanation. It has been weeks since that incident. Why couldn't he let me forget about it? Was he suddenly having some kind of revelation and wanted to apologize for his stupid behaviour?

I snorted, my eyes into slits, digging into him, voice raised, "And you couldn't tell this at my home? You send some airhead to kidnap me and drug me so that you can talk to me? Do you realise how fucked up that is?"

At my tone, he flinched visibly but tried to hide it. I tried not to focus on the way he was sitting, all-powerful and dominant. For a moment it would be difficult to even recognise him with the three-piece suit he was wearing. What happened to that Lukas I met in the bar?

"I know that you are angry-"

Raising from my seat, I stumbled, my eyes feeling heavy. My hands immediately went towards the couch, holding it to steady myself. His eyes immediately shot top, narrowed at my hands gripping the couch. I noticed that his breathing got still.

"You don't even know the half of it. I am fucking furious" I yelled at the top of my voice. The louder I got the more I was experiencing dizziness. It did not matter. He had to know how angry I was.

He got on his feet and paced towards me. I took a step back, my eyes widened. The thought of him hurting me crossed my mind but when he sat on his knees in front of me I breathed. What was he trying to do? As his hands wrapped around my wrist I inhaled sharply. He gripped my wrist and made me sit back on the couch. It was almost too tender and unlike him.

I nervously looked around as he took my hand in his. A sudden shiver passed through my body, thrumming till my toes that I had to blink my eyes.

He cleared his throat, his eyes on our entangled hands, "I sent Dean because I would not be able to bring you back from the earth"

I gaped at his words, my eyes blinking several times in the hope that he would laugh any moment. Why was he talking as we were not on earth? My teeth clenched together when he did not say anything for several minutes. It may be a possibility that he was trying to cheer me up and joking about it. If that was the case then he was the absolute worst person ever.

I pulled my hand away, "This is not the time for jokes Lukas. I don't care what you want to say you can say it back at my place. Mira is going to be worried sick if she doesn't find me there"

He shook his head, his face almost painful as he tilted his head up. My breath hitched in my throat when I noticed the colour colour of his eyes. They were blue. How is that possible? From what I remembered he had different colour eyes. Maybe he was just wearing contacts back at the club.

"That's- I am not joking. You are not on earth anymore"

I laughed nervously, shaking my head, "Okay it's funny. Will you stop it now? I need to go back"

He winced, "You cannot. I cannot let you go back"

At his voice, my heart started beating rapidly. There was something wrong. If he was playing a prank it could be seen in his eyes but he sounded honest. How is that possible?

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I sniffled, "Lukas please let me go. I promise I won't tell anyone about this"

He took a deep breath, pinching at the bridge of his nose, "Why can't you understand that I can't let you go?"

I yelled, "Because I don't know!"

Tears trickled down my eyes. Nothing that was happening made sense to me. My head was hurting and I could feel the pain in my stomach from starvation. The father of my baby was a psycho who kidnapped me and convinced himself that we were not on earth. I did not have any plan to get out of the place he trapped me in, the pepper spray I carried along was probably lying somewhere in my apartment. No one knew about Lukas and probably they won't ever find me.

He lifted my head, noticing the tears falling on my lap. His hand gently came up to my cheek and I flinched.

"Just let me..." He whispered as he wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes.

My voice was scratchy as I questioned, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because you are carrying my child"

A gasp slipped out of my lips. How did he find out about it? There was no way that someone might have told him beforehand. No one but Mira knew him and probably she was too drunk to even remember his face.

"How do you know?" I whispered quietly.

He sighed loudly, staring at the carpet for a few seconds before he met my eyes. As the colour of his eyes started changing I scooted back, my lips trembling. My eyes were wide, breaths loud and erratic at the sight in front of me. Something was wrong with him.

"Lukas" I abruptly called, slapping at his shoulder. The action did not even cause him to move.

His eyes fully turned bright red and lethal, the dark grey fog surrounding him as he rose on his feet. Black pointed sharp claws jutted out of his fingers. His skin appeared paler than usual as he stared right into my soul.

"W-What are...you?" I questioned, my lips trembling in fear.

"Daemonuim rex" He hissed, his claws disappearing. I froze in my seat as those words echoed in my ears. I know what he meant.

Demon King.

My vision faltered as I tried to slur out the words I was thinking. Suddenly my head felt too heavy, Lukas standing in front of me getting blurry. I inhaled sharply, trying to keep my eyes open, waving my arms around but the fuzzy feeling took over and I let myself slip.

Blinking my eyes open I looked around only to see Lukas sitting on the foot of the bed. He sat up when he noticed me trying to lean against the headrest. As his hand inched forward to help me I moved back. Everything he told me in that right room came rushing back. He was a Demon. Sorry, a Demon King. And I was carrying his child.

He let his hands fall when he noticed the look on my face.

"You fainted"

I rolled my eyes, "Geez thanks for informing"

"Why did you not eat the macaroni? I thought you liked them"

My eyes narrowed at that and I sharply turned towards him. He remembered. No wonder he sent the exact same thing for me to eat.

I pulled my lips together, huffed, "Why do you care?"

His jaw clenched. He opened and closed his mouth several times as if thinking of a proper response.

"I care because you are carrying my firstborn. That child is everything to me"

My face fell at that but I quickly recovered. What did I expect from him? It's not like he cared about me. After all, it was just because I was carrying his child.

"Glad to know that"

"Kira will bring you meals every day and I want you to eat them"

I looked out of the window, staring at the dark water, "I'll try"

"This is serious Talia"

"I know" I mumbled, still not meeting his eyes. They scared me. All these days I was waiting for a Demon to come back to me.

He frowned, his voice sharp and loud, "I don't think you know. You can cry about how much you hate me all you want. I don't care but you are not going to take it out on my child. Do you get that?"

Finally meeting his eyes I nodded, "Loud and clear"
