Mated To The Dark Lord - 18 18. Portal to Hell

It was half an hour later, when Shani came back to tell us that Rain was ready.

“But you! I don’t care that you’re the king of hell. He’s hurting bad… very very bad, you need to…” Shani was telling him off as I shook my head to her, but she was not even looking at me. She was being her fiery little self, trying to defend her friend.

“You will say no such thing witch.” Ranulf got up and his wings move elegantly with his body.

I took her to my back, and she struggle trying to stand up for her friend making him smirked. He knows exactly that I would die for her and he find it amusing.

“Shani! He will not hurt your friend. You need to control yourself if you want to do this. Or I’m going alone with him and you can stay here with Rain!” I said a bit harshly to her.

She was seriously endangering herself, you do not spat the king of hell. He might look tame, but he could do some serious damage. You just don’t go off poking a sleeping bear.

She was quiet instantly looking at me, then she huffed and puffed and walk back to Rain and ushered him back to us.

Rain was looking at us with a blank look. It was understandable, I would also lose it if anything happened to Shani.

But what occurred next, makes me wonder if a human could really tame a bear.

Rain was opening his book, then laid out all his stuff on the dinning table. He didn’t stop, he didn’t look at any of us. He just start placing everything on the table, and continue on with mixing all the ingredients.

I looked at Shani and she said that she had explain everything to Rain, and he had agreed to help her. He was doing this for Shani, which was understandable looking at their closeness just moments ago.

But from the corner of my eye, I could see Ranulf was watching him intensely. He didn’t say anything, he just look at him, studying him. But I had known him long enough to know, that he wanted the human. And what he wants, he gets.

I shook my head and decide to focus on Shani. I was still not sure about her coming with me to the pit of hell. At least now we know the who and the why. Maybe we could try and resolve this from above hell, and have Shani away from harms way.

Ranulf was coming to Rain’s proximity, the man shuddered as he feels his presence. But then his wing gently wrapped Rain’s side making the human look at him.

“You will be just fine my beautiful human…” the angel said as he touch the man’s jaw and caressed it slowly.

“What is he trying to do?” Shani looked at me and asked.

“He wants your dear friend, badly. But I didn’t know that he has human preference.”

“He’s not entirely human, he’s a were, he just lost his wolf mate. That’s why he had been mourning, and acted carelessly. I’m just devastated that I didn’t know about this sooner, he doesn’t deserve this. He’s such a nice guy.” Shani rest her back to my chest, I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her hair.

“I think he’ll be safe with Ranulf, though I still don’t know exactly what the king is trying to get from all of this…” my words were cut off when Rain start chanting old language then asked Shani and myself to come closer to him.

“I guess we’re doing this now…” she shrugged and take my hand to follow her.

“You’re coming with us, we will finish your revenge and give you closure.” Ranulf said to Rain, when a portal dimension slowly start to appear at corner of her dinning area.

Rain who looked tired already nods his head, and followed us into the portal. My heart was beating faster,  I was gripping Shani’s hand tightly. I didn’t want to let her go, I was waiting for the pain to come, but it never did.

It was like we were sheltered by an unseen force field, which allowed us to go through the hellish terrain in our human form. Rain was looking very pale, Shani let go of my hand and try to give her energy to him.

“That won’t be necessary Shani, we’re about to reach the kingdom. I’ll take him there myself so he could rest. Arkael, I’ll see you later in the main hall. I’ll let the guards know you’re coming.”

At that exact moment Rain falls down unconscious, but seconds before he hit the ground Ranulf scooped him up and engulfed him in his wings.

They were gone in seconds when Ranulf flap his wings forcefully and fly above us, leaving a powerful gust of wind behind him.

“Wow…that’s amazing…” Shani said still looking at the angel that had fly away from us.

“Come, we need to hurry, it’s not that far away. Ranulf is not here, there are creatures I don’t want to be seeing out here, while I’m in my human form.” I quickly ushered her to quicken her steps.

We finally reached the kingdom not long after. The guards did recognize my voice, aside that Ranulf had told them about my arrival. But in my human form, I was pale and looked so different than the last time that they saw me.

“King Arkael…” the guards greeted and bow before me.

“No need guards, just be at ease. I’m not longer your king.” I said to them casually, one of them ushered us into the main hall.

“You will be our king as long as you’re alive.” The guard said while I touch his shoulder, thanking him.

But before I could say more, two feminine voice which I recognize belonged to Muriel and Sabina greeted me.

“King Arkael….king Ranulf told us that you’re coming. Oh… is this her?  she’s so beautiful my king.” Muriel came up to Shani, who was still amazed at the various creatures that she had never encountered before.

“Shani, my love…this is Muriel and Sabina they’re the kingdom’s official welcoming party.” I said while snaking my arm around her waist possesively.

I could see several incubus sniffing her human scent already. Some walked away, knowing and recognizing my voice and my stares.

“Your human form is beautiful my king, but your mate she’s beyond and her aura…oh…my King, can we play with her too?” Sabina said with a golden glow on her cheek. While Muriel walked to her and let her tail trail to her hips caressing her ass down to her tighs.

Shani gasped and push herself closer to mine, making me chuckle but welcome her to my embrace.

“Ladies, we are here on a mission for King Ranulf. Then, we will go back. I don’t think we have time for your leisurely play, we are in our human body. We are not meant to stay for long down here.” I said as I kissed Shani’s hair, and rubbed her back.

But then she tensed immediately, when both nymphs kissed my lips and told us to follow them.

“What the hell was that?!” she said poking my chest. Clearly mad about the kiss, adorable…

I grabbed her waist and kiss her hard, my other hand wrapped her neck keeping her still. She fight for dominance, making me groaned. But then she shuddered when I pulled her flat to my crotch. She finally moan, when she felt my hardness.

“It was just a kiss, it meant nothing!” I growled lowly in her ear.

“But you, you are everything. I leave all of this for you, and I will do it again in a heart beat. I love you.” I said trailing kisses to her neck then back to her lips.

We were kissing each other for the longest time. Until I heard Ranulf chuckled behind me. The nymphs were beside him, caressing and kissing him at the same time. I think our little show aroused them both.

“Shani…we have audiences.”
