Book:Mated to the Devil Alpha Published:2025-2-8

The sounds of someone humming a song woke me up as I tried to force my eyes open. The sound irritated me so bad that I knew exactly who it was and I was right!
Emma!
She was walking around my room, arranging what I couldn’t see well and at the same time, smiling.
Why is she in a good mood?
I frowned as I stood up from the bed and walked towards her making it obvious that I was not happy to see her in the room with me. I hate her smell, I hate that she was still alive. I hate that she betrayed my brother and my baby is taken away.
“You’re awake?! That’s great, ” She said turning to face me with a huge smile on her face that I could tell was fake.
The fake ass bitch! Was she even real? She doesn’t wear stuff like witches, just my brothers necklace she had turned into a bracelet.
I rolled my eyes so hard tgat my head hurts.
“What are you doing here, Emma?” I asked frowning as I saw her grab a beautiful blue gown and turned to face me again, this time scanning me to see if it was okay.
I can’t be attending another feast. The last one was a mess a s I would do anything to avoid it. I can’t cope to see Brook. Or see those evil people that are only hungry for killing and doing meaningless things.
I looked dead into Emma’s eyes, letting her know that I was still waiting for her response.
“Oh… I brought some dresses for you, go and have your bathe. You have somewhere to be,” She said smirking and I frowned.
I knew immediately that it was probably a set up but I didn’t have the energy to refute her as I had always done.
Forcing myself to go to the bathroom, I came out in three minutes time to see Emma humming again, this time with a different dress laid on the bed.
“Wear this.. I think it suits you more than the blue dress I brought out earlier,” She said , still moving around.
“Like you know what suits me and what not suits me, ” I murmured as I grabbed the dress and wore it grudgingly.
The only thing I kept thinking of was the fact that I was mixed, the strange reason why I liked blood and the half hearted apology I got from Alaric.
Though it seemed as though he actually meant it with the way he kept on sobbing but I don’t buy it. Mate or not, he should have asked for help. I trust Rex would help him. I trust Rex would rescue his mate but he didn’t.
He deserves pain!
I’m not going to trust him again, not after what he did and what he has turned me into, afterall this was all his fault.
“Rex is going to be so happy to see you,” Emma interrupted my thoughts, smiling as she looked at me up and down.
But I didn’t care.
Whether Rex would be happy to see me or not was the both of them business, I have a different plan.
Like I told Alaric, I’m going to escape from here with my two kids.
I’d escape and no longer be an experiment of Brook and…
My eyes went down to the thing itching my hands and I frowned. I looked at Emma’s wrist to see her showing off what does not belong to her. The goddamned bracelet on her wrist has been bothering me for sometime.
It’s part of my plan though.. even if Emma is actually hurting me with it like I suspect, I’ll still take it with me.
That’s right!
It could be the bracelet that’s making me feel pain in my chest anytime I try to attack anyone or even think of attacking anyone.
It doesn’t matter. I’ll take it with me nonetheless as I can’t even find a way to get it off.
“Great! You look nice. That’s good. At least you’re looking better than you always do, ” She said dryly, smiling at me.
I smiled back at her, since we were both doing fake smiles, let’s see who’ll win.
“Emma, ” I called as she headed towards the door.
“What?”
“What about your mate? Don’t you have a mate anymore? Or is Klaus your mate?” I asked, as nonchalantly as I could.
She scoffed and I smiled. Finally, something that’ll make her angry.
“Klaus was never my mate, just so you know. Besides, I have never seen my mate yet so you can go ahead and mock me as much as you can. Just know that it doesn’t change the fact that you are here , under my custody and you’re being treated anyway I like,” She smirked and it pissed me off.
I took slow steps towards her and flashed a wicked smile right in front of her face , knowing fully well how much she hates it.
“It’s great that I’m under your custody you know. To be very honest with you , I’ve been thinking of how to pay you back for your kindness and I could only think of one thing. I have to kill you with my own hands. Infact, is like it very much if I can kill you with my hands.”
She burst into dry laughter, shaking her head at me and pointing at me.
“That’s funny, you know Klaus said this same thing to me last night. It’s just so funny watching him say it as he groan under the pain of the dagger’s poison. He wasn’t even healing! Just like how Klaus would have to beg me for death but he won’t see it.”
She moved closer to the bed.
” You people think that being immortal is what makes you stronger but to me, it’s a punishment you guys would have to face. Imagine suffering in pain and being unable to die, you call that a blessing?!”
Her words upset me as I took angry steps towards her.
” Keep laughing about our immortality but I’ll make sure to remind you of this particular statement when I rip off your heart from you and watch you cry in pain as you slowly die. That’s when you’ll realize just how precious our immortality is,” I said, clenching my teeth.
How dare she make fun of the most important part of us?!
Her laughter filled the air again and I turned to face her angrily as she snorted.
“You say all these things but I can only remember the image of you screaming in pain as Brook cut you in pieces, injecting you with different things as well as experimenting on you. I’m pretty sure you were wishing you were dead back then,” She said still laughing.
Her words annoyed me so bad that I tried to lurch at her but the sharp pain came again this time and no matter how I tried to endure it, it still hurt badly.
I will kill her, I promise.
I was lying on the floor, holding my chest while she walked away, hissing.
