Her Existence (The Prophecy Novel)

Taken

"I soon saw the way she looked at you, when she took you from the dungeon I thought I lost her again but I saw the way you look at her with love and passion willing to die for her. I saw the same thing when she saved you that day. I loved Jocelyn the same way you guys love each other. I was thrilled when I found out you were engaged but I didn't see a ring on Alex's finger. Why is that?"

Destruc asked Josh lowered his head "I didn't think about it for a while I knew I would get her a ring but there were issues that seem pathetic now" Destruc chimed in "True issues do make things difficult I remember when I proposed to Jocelyn she first turned me down I was heartbroken turns out she didn't want people to know of us for dangerous reasons.

Those reasons proved correct however I believe that my daughter is safer with both of us around her so I have a proposition for you" Josh raised his head looking at Destruc "If I help you find the perfect ring will you allow both of you to stay here with me not just to become rulers but to become my family."

Josh contemplated the idea but nodded his head Destruc grinned ear to ear Josh out stretched his hand Destruc took it but pulled Josh in for a man hug "Welcome to the family Josh."

Soon after Destruc called in the royal jeweler to build the perfect ring for Alex. The ring was a black cushion built diamond with white and black diamonds along the band with an inscription inside saying 'fide amare et fortitudo virtute' the sayings from the jewelry Alex and Josh wore.

Once the ring arrived Josh and Destruc planned an event where Josh could ask her again.

End flashback

Alex looked at her ring as they danced "it's beautiful but you didn't need to get me a ring I would of been happy without it" Alex stated as I spun her around "No! You needed a ring to show that you belong to me I saw the men stare at you before I came in they couldn't take their eyes off you even now men stare but they know they can never have you because you are mine forever" I stated with a low growl as I eyed one demon who was looking at Alex but once his gaze meet mine he lowered his head.

Alex pulled me close and kissed my lips I missed those lips I spun us around her dress flowing behind. Soon the song ended and everyone decide to join in on the dancing. Soon the party was in full swing people were dancing, laughing, and having a great time. I kept Alex close to me I missed her and I needed to make up for the time we weren't together.

I laid my head in the crook of her neck I could smell her perfume she wore it smelled like vanilla I loved it when she wore that perfume. I kissed her neck sending a shiver down her spine as she leaned her head back resting it on my shoulder.

I was in a lust filled haze as I held Alex closer to me. I crossed my arms over her chest so no man can look and so I could have her closer to me. I felt a small tap on my shoulder I looked over and saw Destruc I stood up but kept Alex close. Destruc looked over at Alex and grinned he extended his hand "My I have this dance" I smirked at Destruc's cheesy line.

"Of course" Alex stated I reluctantly let go of Alex as I watched them walk to the dance floor I saw something out at the corner of my eye dash across I looked back but didn't see anything. I looked back at the dance floor and saw Destruc and Alex dancing together I could see them doing that at our wedding.

A loud crash broke me from my thoughts I looked towards the sound and my body froze 'no not them.' Everyone stood still as they saw him standing there. I followed his gaze and saw he was looking at...Alex. I sprinted down the stairs but soon more crashes were heard as more of them showed up how did they get here.

"Alex" I screamed hoping she would run towards me but soon a mob of people running away screaming pushed me against the wall. I pushed through trying to find Alex but something hard hit my head causing me to black out. The last thing I saw was a black dress being taken through the window.

I awoke in our room I sat up which was a bad idea my head was pounding and my vision blurred at the sudden movement. I searched the room for Alex I checked the bathroom the closet even under the bed she wasn't here I knew in the back of my mind that Alex was taken away from me.

I stumbled down the hallway using my hand as balance my head spun but I needed to find Alex I entered Destruc's office I saw him with Adam and the two other guys whose names I had forgotten. "Where is she?" I hissed at Destruc who looked saddened by the event.

"Josh calm down" Destruc raised his hands trying to calm me "Where is my fiancé?" I yelled I gripped the doorknob for balance I was breathing deep as my anger was rising. "Josh, they have her the demon assassins...they took her" Destruc stated he clenched his fist on his desk, I was surprised it didn't break.

I felt my heart break I knew in the back of my mind they took her but I didn't want it to be true. I felt my world shatter at his statement the anger I was suppressing finally emerged I felt something burning in my arms and legs "I'm gonna get her back" I said through clenched teeth Destruc and his followers stared at me in shock they stared at me like I was a crazed animal.

"WHAT!" I snapped their glares making me angry "Josh look at your hands" Destruc said I looked down confused what I saw made my body froze "How?"
