Demon Begging

Chapter 16

Life is made of many small pleasures.

*NARRATOR'S POV*

Louis waited impatiently by the log. Harry would not call it waiting, because he smirked fondly at

his lovely mate as the boy paced up and down.

"Why are you so troubled?" Harry asks casually, staring up at this healthy sky with his hands

under his head.

"Niall is mated."

"And?"

"All Alphas are supposed to challenged when from another species."

"Hmm. Wait-"

"Unless....." Louis pauses his stride to stare at the building Niall and Liam had disappeared into.

"I'll kill him."

"Want my help?"

Louis scoffed and caught Ares settling on his usual broken branch perch on the dead log.

Not two whole minutes later they're rejoined by Liam and Niall. Alphas didn't need daemons like

Omegas - that was a stereotype but all Omegas did enjoy that added presence - so Liam didn't

have one, but Niall did. It was a silver monkey with an extra long tail to be secured around Niall's

"We were going to get our stuff from Albert." Liam coughs into his fist, feeling pressured by the

stability of another Alpha.

"I didn't get mine either." Louis agrees. "Let's go now."

Harry knew right then that he hated misinterpreting or not understanding. This world wasn't his

yet, and all he had to keep him sane enough until he was comfortable was his mate.

Here, the ball game has been switched and everything was different. He had little to no control

over what happens on a regular basis. His powers worked but he won't use them until completely

certain.

The demon refused to release Louis from his hold even while the boy was in deep conversation

with Niall. They had taken a path narrow enough for three people to walk in a single row, so

Liam walked ahead. Harry wasn't about to play nice with other Alphas, not ever really.

It was his nature to be everything to his Omega, and that he will forever fulfill. The threat of other
