The Demon Queen

Chapter 4

Damien’s POV-

I was so thrilled to be able to be this close to my mates, both of them. I was surprised when I found out I had two mates, but I was so thrilled, because I really wanted to have children. With Scarlett coming into our lives, we have a chance to have children one day. Scarlett’s name really did suit her; red hair, red eyes. It was the perfect name for her. She was perfect all around, even more so now that she is a woman. She has changed so much in the past seven and half years, but only to become the beautiful woman that she is today. Just a few more days and she will know that Birsha and I are her mates.

Birsha and I followed her to the college library. Birsha and I have been dying to stay close to her. It is hard to know who your mate is, but not be able to claim her, because she was too young. All we could do was watch and step in when necessary. It became hard not to intervene when Scarlett was hit on by other guys. They were her age, and on occasion a few years older. But to my surprise and gratefulness, she turned them down every time. I swear a few times she said she liked someone else. I really hoped that someone was Birsha and I. I believe we are, because every year we would leave gifts for her, so she would know she was loved, and she would return the favor to us. Birsha and I loved getting gifts and cards from her. It made us both very happy. We have kept them all. I am sure Scarlett probably kept her gifts and cards from us. I know she had to hide a lot of things from her family. There was this one time. Birsha and I saw her step-siblings trying to fight her, and she would never swing back, but would always get back up. She kept repeating the same three words, and I know it was directed at us, she. She met our gaze a few times when she said it. It was hard not to get involved, seeing her get beat. I was glad she moved out when she turned sixteen. She literally prepared for weeks prior to it, and her best friend helped. I was proud of her for being brave and strong.

Seeing how she reacted to us in class today, proved to me that she is starting to feel the bond between us, even if she doesn’t feel it fully. It could also mean she likes us. We arrived at the library, to see Scarlett helping Amelia get some books for Amelia’s group assignment. Amelia went to check out the books she needed, leaving Scarlett to get books out for our group assignment. Birsha was getting a little antsy, as we were watching Scarlett. We are able to communicate in our minds. Demons are telepathic, which is the difference between us and werewolves. They can mind-link each other, but the range is limited, and they can only mind-link those within their pack. But demons are telepathic, so we can communicate with all demons, as long as their demon is awakened, and we communicate across worlds, like between earth and hell. It is even stronger between demon mates. Birsha and I call it the demon call.

“Birsha, my love, you need to calm down,” I said, in our demon call.

“I know I just want to hold her in my arms. Why can’t we just claim her as ours now,” he whined back.

I chuckled, “Because we both agreed that we would let her find out who we are to her when she turned eighteen. You and I can both feel the full mate bond with her, but she can’t with us yet. We just have to wait a few days, and you never know over the next few days, she may pull us in, and we will be able to hold her and kiss her.”

“You know how hard it is for me. The thoughts that I have about her, it is hard for me to control them,” he sighed, rubbing his head.

While we were watching Scarlett, she had grabbed a few books, and had found another but could not reach it. I loved her height. I love Birsha’s height too. They are both shorter than me. Birsha’s head rests perfectly on my shoulder, but something tells me that Scarlett’s head would rest perfectly on my chest. I leaned in close to Birsha and whispered, “Go help her.”

I didn’t have to tell him twice. He teleported behind her, and reached for the book she was trying to reach. He gripped it over her, making her spin around. He leaned in closer to her, raising an eyebrow at her, smirking. She gasped, surprised at his closeness, taking a step backwards, and crashing into the bookcase. I bit my lip, trying not to chuckle. Birsha smiled at her, “Careful, beautiful. If you get hurt, I might just have to kiss you all over.”

Her cheeks flushed red, as she stepped closer to him, and whispered, “Maybe, you will have to catch me first. You and Damien, or am I mistaken in thinking you are both my mates?”

Birsha was stunned for the first time in his life. I was surprised too. It is clear she is innocent, with the amount she blushes, but it’s like she is gaining more confidence with us already. I wonder if she feels it, the mate bond, but is just too shy. But with what she just said, it was clear she knew, or at least expected us to be her mates. Just as both Birsha and I regained our composure, Scarlett snatched the book from Birsha’s hand, kissed him on the cheek, before whispering, “Thank you.”

She moved away quick as a whip, her cheeks redder than ever. She had her bag and books in her hand, as she ran off back to Amelia. I have to admit seeing her kiss him on the cheek made my heart race. Birsha, though, stood there stunned, his hand touching his cheek, where her lips touched. I walked over to him, he looked up at me, tears in his eyes. Tears of joy. He whispered, “She kissed my cheek.”

“I know I saw; I am a little jealous. You are so lucky, my love,” I whispered to him.

“I need more. I have to have more,” he growled, the veins under his eyes and along his neck began to bulge and pulsate.

I knew those signs all too well. That was the start of his lust craze. Lust demons can go into a craze, when they need to be intimate. I grabbed him, and as he growled, “I need her.”

“Soon. Let’s get back to our home, get you calmed down, because I need you,” I whispered, in his ear.

His lust-filled eyes snapped to mine, as his chest began rising and falling faster. I teleported us back to our home, just in time because the moment we got inside our home, he threw himself at me, his lips colliding with mine. We stripped of our clothes and began making love. It was a good thing we had two and a half hours before we had to meet with Scarlett, so we had time for me to help him get past his lust craze. Honestly, I loved it when he went through his craze, because he was rough, and I like being rough, and I love it when he is rough with me.

I was lying flat on the sofa, with Birsha curled up on top of me. I sighed contently, “How are you feeling now?”

“I really need to get better control of myself. I don’t want to scare her or worse hurt her,” he whispered.

“Then promise me, you will tell me when you feel like you are going to lose control, if I do not notice beforehand. I will be able to help you through it, while I try to shield her from it, at least until she is ready to deal with that side of you. She has to learn to deal with that side of you eventually, but if she really is the virgin, I think she is, her first few times are going to be painful, especially given our sizes. She will need some time. You just need to try and be brave, and breathe through this,” I responded.

“I promise I will, but you know how suddenly it can come. What if I hurt her,” he sniffled.

“Well, if it does, I will shield her, but maybe it would be best if we discussed what it is like being the types of demons that we are with her,” I smiled.

“I think we should do that when we go meet her,” he nodded.

“Alright, well, let’s get dressed and head back to our beautiful little mate,” I said.

He nodded, and we both stood up and got dressed. We teleported outside the café that Scarlett and Amelia were in, and I then texted her that we were outside, waiting for her, ready for our study date.
