Fractured • Choi Yeonjun

Chapter 85

I reel back as I fully take in what the demon prince had just offered and then I settle as I make my mind up. I will not take a deal with this demon. It just seems the demon keeps adding more and more things to the deal and I was not about to mix myself up in a mess that I would have to deal with later.

I only had one demon lord on my kill list and I would like to keep the number that low.

"I'm sorry but, I think I'll just have to count on what I have. We don't have a deal."

Tiswan surely did not take my refusal well. "You're a stupid human if you don't take my father's deal, you're far too weak to face a demon lord all on your own." She adds a snort and a shake of her head as if talking to me as if I were a child would make me rethink my decision.

"I've made it this far without his help." I quip back. "You should go ahead and send me home. nothing you hold under your sleeve will make me take a deal that is far too risky." I turn the rest of my words to Asmodeus.

"Why don't I just show you what I have waiting and let you decide what to do next?" Asmodeus questions with a smirk.

I knew this demon was going to end up trying to push me into a corner and take his wild deal. I waved my hand and tried to act as if my mind wasn't running away with its wild possibilities of what he had waiting for me.

With a snap of his fingers, the vacant seat was suddenly filled.

Only once in the past two years have I seen my mate bound by chains and the first time broke me. This time just tipped my mental state over the edge.

All thoughts were ended except one, end the demon harming the one I love.

I was across the table in the blink of an eye, my hands wrapped firmly around the demon prince's throat as my nails formed into claws.

"Let him go now." I hiss through clenched teeth as I squeeze with everything I have. Without thinking about what I was doing, or paying attention to the fact Tiswan had to hold a trashing Yeonjun down in his seat. I raise a hand that has nails like daggers and dig them into Asmodeus' chest, trying to carve my way to his black heart and rip it out.

I may not be able to use my powers, but I am still part demon, and anyone's demon form could not be suppressed by a demon's lord's powers, not even Satan could stop a demon from showing and using its true form.

Other than my eyes changing I had never gone into my full demon form. Up until now, I didn't believe I had one.

One part of my brain was able to pick up on the small details of how my sink and hands looked. That part could feel my body shift and even though I had no idea what I looked like, that same part picked up on Yeonjun's gasp as he was able to watch what I was changing into.

"I said let him go, now!" I had just grabbed the demon's heart when his hand was suddenly on my own throat, changing to tides of who was in control.

"I will have my revenge on Andromalius, and you will be the one to hand it out. I will take every person you care about and lock them away if that is what it takes.

Yeonjun hated admitting when he did anything stupid and reckless, but he knew he had fucked up when he had returned to the place Evelyn had disappeared alone and was suddenly ambushed by a demon prince he thought he would never lay eyes on.

He grits his teeth as the demon lord pushes his face into the dust-covered ground. "What the hell do you want? Why would a prince lord be in a lowly Nuubrodott's nest?"

Asmodeus smiled slyly as he put even more force on Yeonjun's body causing the fallen angel to cough. Dust burst off the floor into clouds that slowly drifted back to where it had first fallen. "I may need to persuade your mate to take a deal of mine. I just want to aid her in taking a certain demon lord down."

Yeonjun's eyes widen as things start to click in his mind. Has Evelyn been planning on taking Andromalius down by herself all this time?

Once again the dust was suddenly puffed into the air as Yeonjun let a hard breath of air out. Of course, she had been trying to find a way to end the demon that took so much from her, he was just blinded by the fact she was with him once more to even worry about her trying to do something so stupid.

He knew she was training hard, but he had thought it was just her way of proving to Soobin that she could take on missions and be useful. He knew she hated feeling as if she had nothing to offer. He should have watched her closer when she was training, he should have asked questions when she suddenly was at his level.

Evelyn, a young woman turned into a demon hardly a year ago could hold her own against a fallen angel that had centuries on her.

Yeonjun had to admit how blind and oblivious he had been. His skin and stomach burned with anger and shame as he was chained down and logged away by Asmodues' servants.

Would this be the second time his mate had to see him beaten down by a demon lord? Would this time end with one of them- No! Yeonjun would not let that thought even cross his mind.

A gasp of awe ripped its way from Yeonjun's lips as his eyes widened at the sight of Evelyn changing forms as he held a demon lord by his throat.

Her skin turned white as snow and her hair turned black as coal. Small horns just as white as her skin with swirls of crimson grew from her head right above her ears, hardly peeking out through her messy locks. As she growled down at the demon lord, black veins started crawling across her body.

His dark side reared up as he watched her change, as he watched her demon form finally show itself. He pushed against the thoughts his dark side threw his way, trying his best to ignore the heat that rose in him. Now was not the time to find his mate undoubtedly sexy. 

She was strangely a prince of hell.

That thought did nothing to help push away the desire his dark side felt for his mate.

Tbh idk what I wrote, but again, tbh I don't write enough love and emotions between them so I wanted this part to happen but I had to add some (romance?) between them yk? 

Idk. I hope you're all doing well tho! 

I'm doing okay just in case anyone is wondering lol. Same stuff as always mental stuff family stuff. I handle it well ig, but when i'm drained its just so hard to think of what to write bc most my ideas come when I'm lying down and (daydreaming?) and as of rn when I lay down I pass out from all the extra work I got going on mentally and physically. I will not abandon this book tho. This book dose bring me so much joy and so do my amazing readers that stick with me thru the crazy update schedule. 

I just want you all to know I love you all so much and i will never leave you behind no matter what life throws my way, I'll come back. It may take time, but I am here! 

I hope you all have a great night\day!!
