Chapter 184 Chapter 184 3 Q 37 % +13 Daemonikais eyes snapped up , locking onto hers .
Eyes that had been asleep mere seconds ago were now blearily open .
She rubbed them to shake off the remnants of sleep .
He had to leave before the pull of this bond dragged him into a storm he was not ready to face .
Go back to sleep .
Daemonikai said crisply , turning toward the door .
Wait , please .
He heard a shuffle and his jaw locked tight .
He couldnt do this .
Not now .
Not like this .
Stay over there , Daemonikai snapped .
Do not come close to me .
A sharp intake of breath came behind him , and though he did not want to gods , he did NOT want to Daemonikai turned to look at her .
Hurt flashed in her eyes , before she quickly masked it , swallowing tightly .
As you wish , I would not … her voice wavered , her hands fluttered helplessly before falling to her sides again .
I will not come closer .
But please , do not leave .
Why ? Just ….
She looked so small , even smaller than he remembered .
So fragile , lost , and achingly vulnerable that every instinct within him screamed , protect .
But Daemonikai slammed the doors to them .
Just please please say something , she pleaded , her swollen eyes begging him .
Why ? he repeated , his voice sharper , colder .
Anything is better than the silence .
Misery rolled off her in waves .
Anything at all .
Hit me , sh shout at me , use the s sp- spiked whip , lock me away in the Hole , anything .
Just react .
Say something .

I beg of you .
Her words sank into him , cutting deeper than any royal dagger could .
The last of his doubts , the denials he clung to , crumbled like the walls of Olympus .
Daemonikai had tried not to believe it .
A larger part of him already knew she was truly his Soulbond , yet there was a small part of him clinging to denial .
Its not true .
They must be joking Its unbelievable .
Theres no way Ukrae and the fates would do this to me .
Evie had always told him he was good at ignoring things he didnt want to see .
And she had been right .
The signs had been there all along , but he had refused to see .
It was insane how his entire being had tuned into her moods , craved her scent , how she soothed him with just her presence and the sound of her voice .
His beast had called her mine more times than he could count .
If that hadnt been enough to clue him in , the way every feeling during sex had sharpened tenfold should have been .
He , a master of control , had barely managed to keep himself from losing it with her .
He , who did not go into rut for anyone before sex , not even his own bondmate , had taken one whiff of her scent in heat and was immediately hit with the father of all ruts .
But Daemonkai had chosen not to analyze it .
Some things , after all , were better left unexamined .
1/3 山 15:51 Thu , Jan 16 = 6 Lị Chapter 184 ༠༥ .37 % 2 +13 However , now , the mere thought of anyone anyone at all whipping or hurting her brought a fury so strong to his being .
The need to tear apart anyone who dared harm her , who had hurt her before , or who might ever try in the future , was far too strong .
There was no denying it anymore .
This human girl , standing before him with guilt ridden eyes , was his Soulbond .
Bile rose in his throat , but Daemonikai gulped it down .
I am sorry , she said after a long pause .
I know it sounds lame , but I am tr truly sorry .
I tried to stay away .
Lord Vladya made me swear I would , and I did try with everything in me .
But when you stepped into Lord Herods home that morning , stopping right in front of me , I knew I was in trouble .
Emeriels shoulders slumped , eyes dropping to the floor .
This … this thing is way bigger than me .
I tried so hard .
Anger simmered in him .
So you thought lying to me , coming to me in deceit was the way to go ? Giving me a false name ? Galilea is my maiden name , its not a false name , Your Highness But its not the name you answer to , is it , Emeriel ? The guilt shone brighter .
I did not think it through .
Lord Herod , he … he knew about my predicament , and sought to protect me .
Her eyes begged him to understand .
He thought after the pleasantries , we would not have any other exchanges .
Daemonikai thought of that day .
He had asked her to walk with him , and she had shown him the gardens .
The pull between them had been magnetic , he had no idea it was the bond , and had given in to its demands , scenting her like a caveman .
The beginning of countless other encounters where that bond only grew stronger .
There were so many questions he could ask , but instead he blurted out .
Did you lay with Herod ? It took her by surprise , like it did him .
No.
Never .
The tightness in his chest loosened .
Just slightly .
But he would have taken your heat .
Daemonikais voice was low , strained .
If the bond had not drawn me to you that night , you would have given your heat to him .
The whole time , I was ridden with guilt guilt that I was stealing my high lords woman simply because I could , abusing my power and strength .
And all this time , Herodis was the one stealing what belongs to me ? No ! Emeriels head whipped side by side .
Please , Lord Herod never touched me that way .
He doesnt see me that way .
Its true I begged him to to take my heat , but only because I did not want to bear the pain.
Those waves of agony .
I knew I could not have you .
I begged , and he declined .
He didnt do it , not even when he saw me writhing , suffering .
He went into a rut , and I t threw myself at him , begging him to put me out of my misery .
And still , he wouldnt , she cried , He sent a messenger to you instead .
It was the truth , and it spilled out in hurried , jagged breaths .
The sincerity in those blue eyes pierced through the fog of Daemonikais anger .
His beast , attuned to even the slightest falsehood , had quieted satisfied with her explanation .
He remembered the morning Wegai handed him that message , but still , a part of him had needed to hear it from her .
Even after summoning Herod for questioning , he still had not felt settled .
Now , though , some of that uneasiness slipped away .
Appeasing your jealousy when there were far more serious issues to discuss , Daemonikai .
He never touched me that way , Emeriel reiterated .
We spent three nights together .
He palmed his forehead , rubbing the dull throb .
Three days , and you never thought to tell me the truth ? I live under two identities , Emeriel is a girl and she is me , and I am your Soulbond , its your right to know , so you can decide if this bond should grow further He whipped his hand away , eyes hard .
You never thought to tell me any of that ? She whimpered , tears flooding her red rimmed eyes .

Chapter 184 379 But Daemonikai was far too angry to stop .
My reputation precedes me , Galilea .
Surely one or two persons aware of your deception warned you that I despise lies .
Im sorry , I was scared .
I did not know how to tell you .
I Sorry does not change the fact that YOU DECIEVED ME ! he bellowed , the rage hed held on a tight leash for days spilling over .
I hate that you deceived me .
I have executed people for less ! She flinched , her arms hugging herself protectively .
We fed that bond ! He barked thunderously .
Every time we got together ! Every walk , every breath of your scent , every time we had sex , every knotting , We .
Fed .
That .
Bond .
