The Demon Queen

Chapter 3

Birsha’s POV-

These past seven and a half years have been the hardest of my life. I am a lust demon. Meeting your mate, for lust demons, is meant to be one of the most sexually erotic moments of your life. Most lust demons do not leave the bedroom for at least a week after meeting their fated mate. I never expected to have a second mate, but there I was almost eight years ago, seeing the most beautiful young girl ever. She had a cute little button nose, with beautiful soft and lush fiery red curls, the ends of every curl were black. She was so small, so skinny. Her eyes were hypnotising. She had blood-red eyes, it appeared like red smoke over a black abyss, the red color appearing to move freely over the black. That is what made them hypnotising. When we first saw her, we could tell she was at least half demon, but we could feel just how powerful her demon is.

I was just grateful that I had Damien to support me, and to help me through my s****l desires, as I really did not want to hurt my little mate, before she turned eighteen. I wanted her to feel the full mate bond like Damien and I both felt from the moment we saw her. Damien has been my rock since I was twenty-five, which was 3400 years ago. I am 3425 years old now. He was 1210 years old when he found me. He is 4610 years old now. We are ancient compared to our little mate, but we both only look twenty-five years old. The benefits of immortality. Damien and I have been Generals of the Kings' army for years. Damien was a general before I met him. I have helped Damien a lot. He is a wrath demon, so when he gets angry, he can be uncontrollable. I have been a somewhat calming influence on him. I think Scarlett will be able to quell the wrath demon mate of ours.

Damien and I have spent the last seven and a half years watching Scarlett as closely as we could. She has grown into a beautiful woman. I had to limit my contact with her a lot, and rarely ever went to watch her alone. I didn’t trust myself to control my desires without Damien there. It is the downside to being a lust demon. We need to be intimate a lot, and if we are not, we will unfortunately satisfy our needs with anyone nearby and forcefully at times, which is why we stay close to our mates, and why I had to stay close to Damien.

With Scarlett’s eighteenth birthday only three days away, we figured we would join her college, and stay close to her every single day, for the rest of her life. Seeing her in class today, was the most incredible feeling ever. I wanted to kiss her right there and then. But seeing how she reacted, and blushed every time we said something to her, told me she was still so innocent but also wanted us both. By the end of class, she was struggling so much to control herself, I could tell, because it happens all the time. The downside to this college, is that we had to say that Damien and I had to tell them we were brothers. We couldn’t exactly tell humans; we were thousands of years old and were mates. This was going to be hard for me. Damien knew that, so he was keeping a close eye on me.

After class, Scarlett met with Amelia outside the class, and we joined her. We said we would go to the library too, as we wanted to help Scarlett get a good grade. All the girls were checking Damien and me out, and honestly, I loved the attention. Being a lust demon, any s****l attention is great attention. It did make Damien incredibly uncomfortable. Scarlett groaned, looking at her phone, “I had better answer this, see what he wants.”

Amelia, Damien and I nodded, as Scarlett stepped to the side. We kept our eyes glued to her, as she answered the phone, “What do you want, Darren?”

“That is no way to speak with your father,” we could hear his growling voice at the other end of the phone.

Yes, we were eavesdropping. She burst out laughing, “You are not my father. You are the bastard who married my mother. Now, tell me what you want?”

He growled, “We want to come see you for your birthday. When is best?”

“You are not coming to my birthday. I do not want to see you, nor hear from you on my birthday. The same applies to my birth-giver, or egg-donor. That is all my mother is to me. Now, I have college classes, so I have to go,” she cut the phone off, and muted her phone.

She turned away from us, and took a deep breath. Damien and I both stepped towards her, but Amelia chuckled, “You two have got it bad for her.”

We both turned to look at her, and Damien asked, “What do you mean?”

“You are both her mates, aren’t you? And judging by those marks on your necks, you are mated to each other, aren’t you,” Amelia replied.

I nodded, “Yes to both. But, please do not tell her, we both want her to find out on her birthday.”

“I would never tell her, but just so you know, she suspects that you two are her mates. Though she is very innocent, I will warn you,” Amelia whispered.

Scarlett walked back over to us. She smiled at us, “So, what are you all talking about?”

“About your birthday party. I was just finding out if these two hunks of yours are going to be coming,” Amelia smiled at her, gesturing to us.

“They might be busy,” Scarlett said, quietly.

I chuckled, “We are never too busy for you. We will be there.”

“As long as you save us both a dance,” Damien winked.

Scarlett blushed, looking down nervously at her feet, whispering, “I will save you both a dance, or all my dances.”

“Oh, we would love that,” I smirked at her.

Scarlett’s chest began rising and falling quicker. Her tight low-cut top gave us the perfect view of her cleavage. Our height helped us see down her top; she was quite short compared to us. Scarlett gripped Amelia’s arm, and whispered, “Come with me to the library.”

Amelia couldn’t even respond, as Scarlett began dragging her quickly towards the library. I felt a little disappointed, even a little rejected. Damien wrapped his arm around my shoulder, trying to make it look as brotherly as possible, as he whispered, “She is so innocent, so sweet. We need to coax her out of her shell, which will take time. But I feel like there is a little sultry vixen beneath that shell. I can’t wait to wake her up. Come on. Let’s go follow her to the library.”

“You are right. Let’s go to the library,” I smiled up at him.

He removed his arm from my shoulders, and honestly, I wanted him to be pressed closer to me, but we couldn’t do that here because of the humans. We followed after Scarlett and Amelia. I was desperate to get Scarlett back in sight. I hate her not being nearby. I stayed close to Damien, as we headed to the library. We were going to watch her again, like we always did. By the time we got to the library, our little mate had already started gathering books for us to use for our assignment. I loved watching how focused she was, even though she was trying to hide how much Damien and I were distracting her. I found it adorable.
