The Broken Mate

Chapter 73

"Time to see the love of your life for the last time before death. You won't believe she doesn't care if you die or live, even after all you have done for her; how you risked your life and everything just to keep her safe. Don't you think she is being so selfish?" The Demon king mumbled into Blake's ears while untying the knots.

My heart was racing so fast as I tried not to hide my happiness, which was boiling inside me. I knew Blake was also aware that we had gotten the last chance to set things right. Deep in his chest, there must be the same race going on in his heart.

Once we get to look into each other's eyes, we will be able to share powers. For real, I can't take out the deadly serpent inside him. That is because my powers aren't enough, but the moment I transfer all the inner energy and magic to him through eye contact, He would be able to force it out himself.

I peered at the black cloth covering his mouth and saw his lips had curled into a smile, making me feel so elated that my eyes became teary. I couldn't stop praying for the demon king to hasten up as he was going too slowly with a mischievous smile.

"I will first untie your mouth so you can tell the whole pack how you regret having Lola as your mate. I know you really regret it, because she is so wicked to let her mate die," he added, and this time, I could hear every member of the vampires in the room yelling angrily at me with resentment.

"If my son ever dies, you will have to kill me too. How can you be this coldhearted even after he showed you the deepest love anyone could." I heard the vampire king's voice, laced with pure sadness and heartbreak.

"Lola, remember all he did for you. Even if you hate me for always wanting you dead, don't pay back by killing Blake. He had always been so good to you. Let the demon king have the share he asked for. My son can't die." The vampire queen added with an overwhelming sadness laced in her tone.

She was sitting flatly on the ground like a grieving mother. Her voice tells you how much she loved her son. She had been crying ever since it all began, and now she had even lost her voice.

I glanced at her and could see too much pain in there. If there was anything too painful for a mother, it was seeing her child face death. It was just 5 minutes until Blake would be gone. I can't imagine how much grief and agony would be consuming the innocent woman right now.

Sophia walked up to me.

"I hope you rethink your decision. Blake can't die. You can still train and get back your powers, then come back in a few years to defeat the demon king who has also lost half of his powers," she whispered into my ear.

"I don't give a damn about Blake!" I shouted in an angry tone, and there was absolute silence as everyone cringed and stared at me with wide eyes filled with shock.

"Fine... I'll make sure he dies then. "Wicked soul," snorted the Demon king, rage welling up in his eyes as he saw that the last move he had planned to use to bring me down was flopping.

"I don't give a fuck!" My voice hitched and cracked while saying it the second time because I was telling pure lies and it really sounded weird in my mouth. If there was anyone I could die for, it would be Blake.

He was the only man that had stood beside me when everyone left me. When my pack and all their members turned their backs on me and treated me like a slave, he showed me love.

Not minding that he was a vampire, he was ready to risk it all for me. It was so clear that I would have been killed by my pack hunters that day in school, but Blake took me away. He ran off with me and hid me with the vampire clan.

The Demon King was now filled with rage as he untied the gag on Blake's mouth. Those pink lips were still so inviting and I can't wait to devour them after all this is over.
