Mated To The Dark Lord - 28 28. Witch Plan

“Arkael, we really need to get out of bed or you’re going to be drain again and we would never leave this hell.”

“Mmmhh…that is not such a bad idea. We could lounge all day and make love and….”

“How about your King’s duties once you decide to reside back here? Not to mention the scheduled war, the training for the soldiers, the constant nagging from the unsatisfied beeings…don’t say you love them more than lounging on earth and do nothing but carved all day and do me all night?”

“Damn…you make very good point, okay I’m up were meeting Ranulf and Rain soonest and settle your elder stuff.”

She slithered her hand around my shoulder, as I take her away from the bed along with me. We dipped in the royal bath for another steamy make out session then get dressed. She was still not used to the vast emptiness of the bath, but I proved her other wise. Everytime.

“You two lovebirds decided to finally join us.” Ranulf said casually as his hand caresses Rain’s.

“You look like you’re enjoying yourself too my King.” I said smirking at the fallen angel.

“I’m not complaining. So, Shani… Rain here had explain to me about your elders saying they want to restore balance to hell. It’s an easy enough task that I can help you with. Though I gather that they were more into wanting to secure their realm…” Ranulf started to explain himself, as Rain sits comfortably by his side.

Well…well…

“Obviously they didn’t want any witch to be creative enough, to venture and mess with their existence with the help of the demons. Now here is where you would be benefited….”

Shani was squeezing my hand, as she could finally feel that her elders issue would one day end. I took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

“…since I actually think and believe that Rain is very good at what he do, he can help you…Maven will obviously assist you from our end. But this task will bring you leverage, it would make you untouchable by your elders. They would not dare mess with you and your mate.”

Ranulf looked pleased at himself, I know he was buttering up to Rain by helping his witch bestfriend.

“And by doing so, we will be getting our demons back and put them back to their places. So, obviously it’s a win win for all of us.”

“Right, well…what do I need to do?” she was getting into the point, and quickly wanting this over and done with.

I was resting my back to the seat as we all gather at the royal court, and discuss our strategy which turned out to be quite a simple one.

“I have indicated the covens, being one of the oldest coven on earth we managed to summoned most of them and myself almost half of them…” Rain cleared his throat as he was taken back to the previous events, as to why he was summoning those demons.

“…there are five covens, but there were thirty seven demons that were sucessfully summoned and shackled as their slaves. My coven included.” Rain said with a sorry looked in his eyes.

“Rain, you are not saying sorry. It is meant to be, you should know that by now living in our kind of worlds.” Shani finally speak up, and calmed him down with her words.

Ranulf draped his wing on his shoulder, and it seemed to relax him even more.

“Come let us join Maven at his sanctuary, so we can finish this sooner. Then you can finally be free from your elders. He is waiting for us right now.” Ranulf said getting up from his seat.

We all went to Maven’s and reach his minutes later. He was brewing a concoction in the cauldron. His greyish body and wings seemed to blend with the surrounding walls.

“Maven, let our human witches in on your plan. Arkael, while you’re here do you want to join me and hunt down some crawlers? Just leave the boring witching arrangements to Maven. He’s more than capable.” Ranulf said while caressing Rain’s back.

I smirked and nodded my head. “Shani, I’m leaving you for a couple of hours okay?”

“Okay, have fun. I know I will…” she said eagerly as she circled Maven’s lair. Her eyes were wild with excitement as she looked at the various jars, books, and all of the dried ingredients.

Rain laughed at her excitement. “Shani, you’re such a witch geek.”

“Yeah, but you love me nonetheless.” She said passing him as she was tipping on her toes, trying to peek into the jars filled with greenish murky water.

Ranulf and I left them to their stuff after Maven prepped me for our little outing, knowing my human body needs protection against the harsh hell environment.

“You seem to be cozying up nicely with the human were. Is he going to be one of your harem? Wait….did he know about your other sexual partners?” I asked him as we were walking into the crawlers territory, he just shrugged while quietly looking around our surroundings.

“…wow…this should be interesting.” I decided to carry on with our conversation.

“He’s different, I’m doing this for his wolf. He’s recuperating, maybe it’s my angelic side…I just don’t know anymore. But the will inside me is too strong to ingore.”

“You’re a fallen angel, the only angelic side you have is the hellish demon one…” I was about to say some more, when three crawlers attacked us out of no where.

I was pulling out my sword trying to get the crawlers but not killing them, we needed them alive. Ranulf was slashed on his abdomen, but he was still fighting the shorter but more muscled crawlers. When all of a sudden three more of them appeared.

“They’re ambushing us damn it Ranulf! Get those two I’ll get the rest! Remember stay calm and keep them alive!” I yelled at him, throwing the shackles and struggling with my own group of crawlers.

We managed to capture all six of them and dragged them back to the kingdom. Ranulf wanted to continue but I was looking at his gapping wound and told him that we need to close it, then I said maybe we could go again tomorrow.

The guards took our crawlers down to the dungeon, while I assist Ranulf to his chambers.

“I’m good, you don’t have to…oh fuck! I think I’m poisoned, get…damn it….Maven.” He slumped to my arms, his wings dragged down to the floor I called the guards to summon Maven to the King’s chamber. I was still struggling in getting him inside, when Rain was by my side and quickly help me getting Ranulf onto the bed.

Rain’s eyes flicks back and forth changing its colors, as he hunched himself above the unconscious king. His wings were fading from the deep black raven color to pale gray with streaks of white on it.

“What the fuck happened.” Rained finally voiced his words.

“The crawlers, I think he was poisoned…”
