The Demon's Substitute Bride

Chapter 3

DAEMON'S POV:

This was becoming boring, just looking at the half blood working her ass off wasn't how I wanted to spend my evening.

Fuck it. 

I'll send all those customers away, luckily it was night time, where my power was stronger and I would have more control over the human mind. This way she would get home much faster, as soon as she fell asleep I'd have my way, complete control over her and her body.

Every customer that came close I worked my way into their mind and changed it, I chuckled at how easy this was, now this was a lot more entertaining.

I watched the half blood as my lips curled into an evil smile, soon, very soon . . . I'll have you wrapped all around my finger.

AELLA'S POV:

I parked my bike near the garage and took a deep breath, something I always had to do before I faced my foster family. I already knew my step mother wouldn't like seeing that I was home this early however surprisingly we hadn't gotten any customers tonight, which added to my already absurd day. My foster parents diner was an extremely popular one and tonight was the first time I'd worked there and not had any customers order anything.

God, I must be going crazy today. It felt like some powerful force was messing with me. I really was going crazy to be thinking in that direction, I shook the thought out of my head and entered the mansion without another thought but dread for having to see Serena and hear what she had to tell me for leaving the diner early.

I found her at the entrance glaring at me.

"Why are you home so early?" She asked me while crossing her arms.

"There wasn't anyone at the diner tonight." I told her.

Her eyes narrowed." You're telling me that the diner that's always completely packed with customers happened to be empty tonight?"

I kept a straight face. "I've never lied to you, you can ask the rest of employees. They would tell you there weren't any customers, I don't know why but I'm telling the truth."

Her lips pressed into a thin line. "I see you've taken me for a fool, for this little trick you've played on me tonight, I expect a lot more chores to be done by the end of tonight, everything I've had planned out for you to be finished by tomorrow you could start it now."

"But I've told you-"

"I don't want to hear anything, get it done by tonight or I'll cut the little pay you collect at the end of the month."

I forced myself to keep quiet, it wouldn't do me any good if I said anything more.

It was many hours later when I'd finished everything on the to do list, I took a sigh as I wrapped the towel around my naked body. I hadn't gotten any time to study for exams tomorrow, I just had to hope studying during my free periods would be enough to help me pass and get a good grade.

I pushed open the bathroom door and stared at the dark circles under my eyes, sigh. I closed my eyes for a second and took deep breaths before my entire body froze . . . I felt it, once again I was getting that feeling of someone watching me. My eyes flew open as I scanned the small enclosed area for anyone even though I already knew I wasn't about to see anything suspicious.

The air around me suddenly felt cold and the pores on my body rose in response to the cool air. I swallowed and took another glance around me.

"Who's there?" I whispered, gripping my towel tighter around myself.

…………………...

Daemon's POV:

I chuckled at the half blood's fear, how easily these humans submitted to our tricks. I shook my head, breaking the little human might be a lot easier than I originally thought.

I frowned as I saw her pick up a brush and pointed it directly at me, almost as if she could see me looking at her. Her eyes stayed unfocused for a second before she shook her head and did a small laugh letting her hand fall to her side.

I raised a brow at her insane behavior, did Angelisa choose a bride who'd already lost her mind? I muttered a silent curse, God how I hated those bloody Laquinttas'. It was known that some half bloods couldn't handle the angel blood in their system and usually did weird unexplainable things, was that also the case with this one? 

"I must be finally losing it." I heard her say.

So apparently I wasn't the only one who had noticed.

All coherent thought suddenly left my mind as I saw the towel drop from around her body.

FUCKING HELL!
