The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 51

Shadow sneered and moved to the front passenger seat, I just stared at him for a while, turned my gaze back on the road, and made myself visible to the human. Shortly, after we arrived at the Newbourne Nightclub, I pulled over and removed the seatbelt. “What! This is it?” Shadow muttered astounded. He had never known me as a party type, I’d always stay in my abode than mingle with the smelly, sweaty human in a nightclub. Although we walk freely amongst them, I found it hard to blend with their lousy lifestyle. I’d always love my serenity, I gazed up at Shadow and shrugged. “You can leave if you don’t like it,” I asserted and unlocked the door.

“Come on, you should’ve mentioned it earlier. Look! I’m not properly dressed and they’re staring at me like I’m a psycho” I chuckled slightly and shot him a last glance, checking out what he was putting on. However, it was odd and I believe that the securities won’t let him in.

“Not bad!” I uttered and stepped out of the Lamborghini. Shadow frowned and thought about it, he wouldn’t want to lose the chance to party with me. He glanced around the vicinity and saw a young man that was neatly dressed stepping out of a cab, he rushed to the man and greeted him.

“Do I know you?” The young man asked after checking out the stranger that approached him.

“I’m a friend” Shadow asserted as he smiled with his teeth showing, he used his super speed and closed the distance between him and the young man. He gripped his face, stared right into his eyes, and charmed him. In the demon realm, we call it hypnosis, only one clan can perform such on people, which is the Avril clan. We've always been a threat to the other clan because of the special gifts we possess and the right we have to the throne as the demon king. That has caused many rebels and betrayals but my father Asmodeus got rid of the evil rebels and remained the king of the demons. However, dad was attacked with a sword that was enhanced by the four leaders from other clans, he was injured severely and would need his first son to take over but I wasn’t interested as they were pushing me to marry the half-demon for support. I shook my head as I recovered from trance, thinking that this won’t solve the problem that I created for myself which is having some undefined feelings for the human girl. I was standing at the gate and was about to walk into the club when Shadow walked up to me with both hands on his pant pocket, looking well dressed and groomed. I slowly turned to the destination he came from and sighed. I hissed, shot him a last glance, and stepped into the nightclub.

“Why are you still gloomy? I’m now properly dressed. I know as your assistant, I have to look nice and not embarrass you” he uttered following behind me, I halted abruptly which made him hit his head on my back.

“Can you be quiet? I’m here to have fun not for your everyday lullaby” I let out and moved towards the door, the security personnel unlocked the door and motioned us in. I stepped into the nightclub club and was welcomed by the buzzing music and laughter. Smokes of cigarettes and male and female cologne could be perceived in the air. I strode to the bar seat out, drew a seat out, sat down, and ordered tequila, Shadow sat next to me and also ordered a tequila. I scoffed and glanced at him.

“What made you think you could order tequila?” I inquired as I know his drink capacity is low, “you must be thinking that I would be kind enough to send you home. I’m telling you now that you would sleep here if you get drunk. He huffed and placed his hand on his jaw wondering why I was continuously picking on him? I just wanted to tag along with my master but he is ignoring my presence, he thought to himself biting his lower lip. The bartender soon arrived with our drink which was four shots of tequila each, he kept the drink on the table and pushed it towards us. I took one shot and gulped it down quickly confused about how I would handle the problem that I had created for myself. I don’t even know how I got so attached to a human and still refused to marry the half-demon that my parents chose. “This must be a plague” I mumbled to myself and took another shot of tequila.

“This matter wouldn’t be solved by ignoring me or getting drunk. You should speak out about your plight rather than die in silence. That's why I’m your assistant. I’d always be here to share your problems with you” Shadow asserted, snapping me out of my thoughts. I sneaked a peek at him and found him taking a cocktail vanilla flavor and sneered, atlas, his sense of reasoning has not been affected.

“I had nothing else to do than to drink, as you know nothing could be done about Audrey and me.” I let out a loud groan and placed my head on the table.

“Come on, this is not the death of you. You should either fight her way in or you insist on sending her out of the villa” he explained, I found meaning to what he had said and decided to focus on giving her a good life before sending her away. I took the last shot of tequila and turned my gaze to the dancehall. Many people were dancing to the music, I could only sit and watch as they got themselves wasted.

“What!” I uttered suddenly, getting Shadow's attention.

“What’s the matter, Ryan?” He asked as he followed my gaze. “That’s goddamn Lucas” he mumbled immediately his gaze landed on Lucas who was busy drinking and having fun with the girls. I swirled towards the bar, paid the bartender, and stood up, “let’s leave” I muttered and took a quick glance at Lucas, and stormed out of the bar.

“What the heck is he doing? It’s too dangerous to have such a lustful demon lurking around the naive human” Shadow asserted as he got into the car. I was also thinking the same, I thought he was locked away by the elders after the court hearing.
