〰 Hrudra 〰"It seems like my niece finally sated her demon king," I comment, a strike of lightning above the castle no doubt telling everyone of their union. Agalana clapped happily that her plans to reunite the two worked out.
Such a sucker for love.
"Now that my job was done. It"s time to find me some demon booty." Agalana purs, her long feminine nails snagging off her hair tie. Her poofy black hair sprung around her face and pooled over her shoulders, suddenly her chest plate looking like a devious corset.
This woman was worse than nymphs and sirens when it came to s.e.x.
I watched her prance over to the lonely demon men as their eyes devoured her l.u.s.tful being. Even after centuries of fighting by her side, she would never learn that being with men would never make her feel love.
"I demand to know your motives." A man from a few feet away questions me when I glanced over and saw his black eyes watching me. The dark aura he was giving off made me c.o.c.k an eyebrow at him in curiosity.
"What is it to you, Demon?" I question him, crossing my arms across my chest and peering out to the happy people in the cookout.
"We are one, Valkyrie." He snarls, s.n.a.t.c.hing my arm before I spun around and sliced a dagger against his chest. "d.a.m.n you, Valkyrie!" He barks at me, clutching onto his bleeding chest as I slipped my knife into my belt once again.
"We are not one, Demon. Merely enemies." I tell him, leaning against the table once again when he settled himself a few steps away from me.
"That"s not what it felt when I was buried deep within you. An enemy wouldn"t make you scream in pure ecstasy either." He growled in a low voice while memories surfaced making me smirk and skim my fingers against my lips.
Even for an enemy, he was a fantastic lover.
"Yes. But you, a general, must know that you keep enemies closer than those you hold dear to you." I remind him, causing a snarl to ripple through him. "It wouldn"t be the first time I used my body to get what I wanted." My words caused him to slam his fist against the table I"d been leaning against, unfazed by his fury.

"Then what are your motives? What is it you got from me?" He grounded out as I glanced over at him, his horns straightening in fury of my words.
"I used you so my niece, your queen, could see her demon was good for her. Plus Agalana was jealous that a demon was chasing after me. I had to show off my control over you." I shrug and watched as Agalana jump a demon and stroked her palm against his horns, clearly the action making the demon fall for her antics.
"I hate you, Valkyrie. I will get revenge for this." He promises when my lips curled in a sinister grin. He made me feel and he was sure as going to pay for that.
"I love to see you try, Demon. As you know, I am well over millenniums old." I slide my eyes over to him as if to dare him to try something. "I know pain more than a man like yourself could imagine. And once you"ve realized this, I will slaughter you for torturing my niece with all your might."
〰〰〰
"You all are leaving?" Khole, Skola"s clone, asks in a heartbroken tone while her demon hugged her from behind. Agalana was warmed up with a demon of her own when the others nodded.
"Yes. We"ve got an order from Freya to hunt down and kill vampires to the east of here. They are disrupting a colony of Selkie and Sirens." I told her, slipping a blade from my belt and handing it to her. "Protect yourself, Kho. You are one of us now and others will come to harm you. Continue your training with Agalana and Hjala. They will remain here with you to ensure your safety." I tell her as she nodded and handed her mate the blade.
"Yay! I get to stay here! Isn"t that lovely, demon?!" Agalana shrieks, hugging the man who was littering kisses all over her face. It was clear that he didn"t realize she"d forgotten his name.
"I will be accompanying them, my Prince." The deadly male speaks up from behind me making me roll my eyes. I spun around, throwing a blade at him and cutting the side of his face before the blade pierced the wood of the wall behind him.
"We are proud women that need no demon general following us around." I snarl at him, but he ignored me and continued his way to the couple.
"Every woman needs to be protected. I will serve you as your enemy. As you said, you keep your enemies closer than your friends." He said, using my own words against me as I flamed in fury.
"You"re just mad that I gave you a case of the blue b.a.l.l.s, dear Demon," I growl making Kho"s demon wince, clearly knowing the pain since our small Khole had given him this many times. Seeming embarra.s.sed, the demon narrowed his eyes at me while we sized one another up.
Was this a turn on to him or something?
I saw how attractive this made him. Everyone did.
"I vow to the kingdom, I will get my revenge on you, Valkyrie." He growls when I grinned darkly at him as my eyes flashed silver for a quick moment.
"Oh, Demon. You know just the right things to say." I grit my teeth, only then realizing that everyone in the room had sensed our s.e.xual tension and could predict what was to come if we faced each other, alone.
The demon was truly... attractive.
His dark eyes and hair had stirred something within me that I had longed forgotten. It"d been centuries since I"d felt it but the burning need within me grow stronger at the sight of the strong man.
In what felt like a lifetime ago, I felt l.u.s.t again.
And Freya... I felt lots of it.
But he"d harmed my niece, Khole. That was something I"d never forgive and he wasn"t even ashamed that he"d hurt not only an ally but his queen.
Pitiful and shameless.
Disgusting.
"Oh, Freya. The look you have on each other has gotten me all hot and bothered." Agalana suddenly says making me harden and turn to the demon and Kho.
"I request that you keep your demons in check. They may be neutered if I have a say in this." I admit to the couple, a sharp scoff causing my lips to tilt upwards. "We best be on our way. I will tell the council of your existence. Y-"
"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Agalana screamed, the other Valkyries growing tense as well when I glared over at the woman nestled in a demon"s lap. We shared a look, both our eyes flashing a deadly silver while I slipped a few daggers from my belt.
"Someone will need to tell them," I told her as she scrambled off the demon and came towards me, her own sword in her hands.
"They will send you to internal d.a.m.nation! Haven"t you learned not to tempt the d.a.m.n G.o.ds!" She shrieks, the sound making several of the windows to shatter and people wince from the sound.
"Come not, Lana. Taunting the G.o.d"s is a daily necessity of mine. You must understand this." I said, the only pleasure I"d felt these last few centuries were of those times where I angered the G.o.ds so much they send me to horrible places.
"You"re an idiot." She shook her head at me when I placed my knives back and turned away from them.
"Come now. I may not be the smartest, but darling. I am Hrudra the cold beast. I will do as I wish and there"s nothing you can do about it." I said, sparing a look at the demon with a hard exterior. "If you wish to accompany, Demon. Know I will torture you every day until you pray to the G.o.ds for a savior." I promise him, a dark glint going through the silver in my eyes that even seemed to horrify him.
This was going to be fun.
