THE DEMON'S PROMISED✓

Chapter 16: The Dance (1)

I can’t believe Logan caused this mess. They leave me in the room alone, my body is suddenly filled with fury and anger.

“Logan is a dream demon! Of course! Why didn’t I remember that in my dreams?!” I whisper-shout at myself, I get up from the bed and furiously stomp to his room. 

I harshly bang on his door, he opens the door and stares at me surprised. His eyes rake down my body and I realize that all I’m in is a big T-shirt that stops mid-thigh.

“If yo-” I cut him off by connecting my palm to his cheeks, his jaw clenched as he stared at me, his gaze hard. 

“What the hell is your problem?!” I push him and yell “You went too far Logan! You went so low to manipulate my dreams!” he rolls his eyes and grabs me, pulls me into the room and slams the door shut.

Maybe confronting him alone was not the brightest idea.

He pushes me into the wall and stares into my eyes “I didn’t manipulate your dreams, I just showed you what my cousin really is” I raise my hand to slap him but as I move my hand he grabs it mid-air and kisses my palm.

“Why would you do that?! You scared me!” I cry and he actually has the audacity to flinch like I was the one who hurt his feelings.

“No, no, that wasn’t my intention to do so my little flower.” That was the name he called me when we were still together, he gave me this name because apparently, he was a demon so he was way stronger than me making me delicate like a flower in his hands.

“Don’t call me that” I spat at him with venom laced in my voice, hot, angry tears rolled down my rosy cheeks. “Why not? Does it remind you of the time we were together?” he smiles smugly “No! It makes me regret ever meeting you!” I try to push him again only to have him pin my arms against the wall.

“You don’t regret meeting me because I know that you still love me, I can see it in your eyes” I struggle, trying to free my arms only to have him move dangerously closer, his lips only a few inches away from mine.

“Logan,” I warn, “I will not stop until I get my little flower back into my arms.” he kisses my cheek and moves back.

I leave the room in a rush and run back to my room. I slam the door shut and slowly fall down the door, tears escaping my eyes.

Without knowing I fell asleep on the floor in nothing but a t-shirt, a giggled escapes my mouth, “I think it’s perfectly okay to say the train has left the station” Xanthus says, his arms crossed, I see him sitting on my couch.

“What are you doing here? When did you get here?” I ask while desperately trying to wipe my tears away. Instead of answering my questions, he asks “Where were you?” “u-uh right here” I squeak, he stares at me suspiciously but doesn’t make a sound. 

“There’s this ceremony coming up..well it’s not exactly a ceremony, it’s more like a party” his face lights up, he looks..really cute like this, with a real smile on his face, his grey eyes glowing with happiness as he stares at me. I see his lips move but I hear no sound come out.

I think I must be drunk.

“-- Are you even listening to me?” he asks, “uh no?” I say, he rolls his eyes.

“The newly mated couples are expected to dance from 11:30 pm until the clock strikes midnight, signaling the start of a new year.” he says, “but we are not mated,” I say while blushing.

“I know that, but we are still expected to dance as I have you as my partner this year.” I nod, “good, the ceremony is tomorrow” I stare at him with my eyes wide open.

“You don’t have to worry about what you want to wear, it will be arranged, oh and Josien wants you to know that she is coming right now.” Not even a minute passed before the door was opened and Josien burst in with a huge smile on her face.

Hi” I say.

“yeah let’s just skip the greeting” she pulls me up from the ground.

“we’re going to town now”

“What do you know about the dance?” I ask her as we stroll around town.

“It’s a sacred dance. It strengthens the bond between mates, it matters where and who you have the dance with, it strengthens the bond between the two people, but it is best to have the dance with your mate. After the dance, the mated couples are excused.” I stare at her confused.

“You don’t understand?” she asks, when I give no expression she laughs. “To do other things of their..choice” she laughs and I freeze “They are excused to do that?” I say.

Well shit.

After our walk, she goes back to her room and I walk back to mine as well, just then someone blocks my path, “that dance is mine” Logan says with determination.

I sigh “Logan what do you want?” rubbing my forehead while speaking, “that mate dance is mine, I’m going to be the one who dances with you that night. That is my promise to you,” he says and speed walks away.

What does that mean?

Well, that's it for this chapter.

Why do you think Logan plans to do?

Do you think Aurora would ever tell Xanthus the person in her dreams?
