Bittersweet Love: With A Millennium old Demon

The cold shoulder Alexander gave to them made Calista realise that he was not just any king. But who was he to make everyone edge on their toes? She wondered.

 " Lucas, we came here in peace and would love to congratulate the crown prince on his finding of his future bride" Ethan said as if he was trying to pacify the tension that was building up in the hall " I mean if he finds one" he added and took a sip from his drink. 

A loud growl came from Lucas" I just said you are not welcome " he jumped and transformed into a brown wolf in the middle of the air. 

Ethan held Lucas by his neck before throwing him across the room,the growling from the crowd became more aggressive " you know you are not my match Lucas, not to talk of king Alexander, even your Alpha will think twice" Ethan said with a hiss, while Alexander swirls his cup around with a smirk on his face.

 " Enough Lucas" a voice echoed from the midst of the crowd " he is an esteemed guest" prince Ezekiel said as he strode through the crowd and came to stand in front of king Alexander.

He bowed slightly at him" I am sorry king Alexander for this inexcusable act of disrespect towards you" he apologised sincerely. 

" It is okay, you all know I am generous and I don't take things to heart," King Alexander said as he continued sipping from wine. But it actually felt like he was saying the complete opposite of what he meant. 

" Lucas, apologise to king Alexander" prince Ezekiel commanded with his alpha voice, and everybody bowed their heads in submission. Lucas was trying to resist the urge, " apologies Lucas" a powerful voice boomed from the crowd.

 This time every werewolves fell to their knees, including Calista and Aurora, Lucas fell onto his knees and apologised " yes my lord" he obeyed and turned towards king Alexander " I apologise for my actions king Alexander " he apologised through gritted teeth. 

" apologies accepted" he said flatly as he nodded to the alpha king. Although the fight was over, there was still tension in the air. 

The alpha king walked towards his seat, and beside him was beta Mateo who had a displeased look on his face and his Luna queen. The alpha turned around to face the crowd " I want to thank you all for honouring my invitation, you all are welcome, please enjoy the drinks and the food, let the party begin" he said with a forced smile on his face.

 " I want to also introduce our esteemed guests king Alexander of the demon realm and prince Ethan of the Dracrytian Empire " he welcomed them with a toast, they drank their wine in honour of the alpha king. Caleb is the name of the alpha king of the crescent moon pack.

 He has long black hair which was braided to the back, with a little left unbraided at the back. He has two braided hair falling to both sides of his face. He has brown eyes with a scary look, he wore a half mask which was on the left side of his face. He has a huge body stature, with a well built body. 

 Luna Matilda has her brown hair tied up, she doesn't have a slender body, but her body was well built, she exuded power, her dark blue eyes were fierce. She sat beside the Alpha king with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. 

After the introduction, the guests went back to their chattering and the music started playing again, although the tension in the air was still there. 

Calista's eyes were throwing daggers at this mysterious man, " so this was the demon king that was said to have no heart, he is the most powerful demon in the realm, the very one who killed his father to take the throne, the one who kills for fun and have not one iota of sympathy or emotion!! and his best friend, the prince of Dragons clan, they both are the most wicked beings in the world, so these are the bad guys?" She mumbled to myself, as she made a mental note to stay far away from them.

 Although her werewolf family did not regard her as a family, she did not want to see any of them humiliated like this. She grabbed a drink and gulped it in one go, while still glaring at him even when her eyes were twitching, from the alcoholic taste of the drink . 

This was actually her first time drinking alcohol , she took another cup trying to gulp it in another go. In the blink of an eye, the demon was suddenly staring right back at her. Cough cough cough, she unconsciously choked on the drink in her mouth, coughing some out. He continued staring at her with his dead glare.

 Calista has now gained the attention of the guests, who were now wondering where this uncivilised man came from. This was not good because she was supposed to keep a low profile. They have both made sure to mask their scent, so as to avoid getting caught. 

Aurora quickly came to her side " are you okay?" She asked worriedly as she patted her back, Calista wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her coat. " Can we leave now, we have seen your Prince Charming already" Calista asked as she could now feel Emily's gaze on her. 

" No, we can't, I haven't found the chance to have a conversation with him yet" Aurora blatantly refused. Calista couldn't help but to stare at her in disbelief " our disguise might get discovered anytime, it's a ticking bomb" Calista lowly yelled at her, she wondered how could her best friend be this shameless and reckless.

" I have a plan," Aurora said with a strong conviction. Calista's body became more tense, this was bad news " and what would that be?" Calista asked while inwardly praying for it not to be that ridiculously endangering.
