The Cursed Lycan - Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Laura's POV
(The Beginning)
It was supposed to be a new adventure, building a new life in the demon world where I was going to grow wings and become a queen. This was never part of the plans, and I never wanted to overthrow the expected queen and take her position, but it seemed fate was on my side, and I was that lucky soul who was meant to conquer every territory.
This was what I thought without knowing I was playing with fire. My obsession with being in a higher position and having greater authority blinded my eyes and hazed my mind.
How would I imagine being a werewolf and ruling over demons, who had always been our greatest enemies, just because of the attraction the demon king had for me?
Tears won't stop streaming down my eyes as I tell my story. It would have been better if I returned earlier to Ella and kneeled, asking for forgiveness.
I never knew that each day that passed with me staying here, Ella was burning in rage and desire for revenge for everything I did to her and her people. I thought staying here would push away my past and give me the chance to build a new life without any trouble from my past evil, but I was absolutely wrong.
And my greatest regret was that it was too late to ask for forgiveness. My life is now a mess, and just these few moments of telling my story before I would finally be placed on the gallow where my head would be beheaded after months of extreme suffering
I didn't know how heartbreaking death could be until now that I am faced with it, knowing that in a few moments everything I am looking at now and all the feelings of the earth would fade and vanish into the thin air. I would be gone and forgotten forever.
My teary eyes roamed around and fell on Ella, with her mate whispering happily to each other and chuckling. Smiles were on everyone's faces, a sign of happiness over my demise.
You must be surprised to hear all this from me, confused at how I ended up like this. I am also shocked. This isn't the life I dreamed of. I had no idea how much power Ella had.
This was how it all started.
Back on that day, when that demon came into my room and attacked me out of whatever rage, jealousy, or envy he had on finding out I had captured the demon king's heart, the next thing that happened stunned me for real.
My name is Laura, as you all know, and I was brought here, done with my revenge. The demon king helped me even when I didn't finish my part of the deal.
As I sat on my bed, my knees up and my head leaning on the wall, I waited for the demon king to at least call on me and let me know my fate.
I don't know when he would return from whatever seclusion he went into just to get me out of his mind. Why can't he just accept his fate of making me his queen? I hate him, and he disgusts me, but I would be stupid to reject him and lose my chance of being the ruler of this demon clan.
Just then, a knock sounded on my door.
"Come on in. Why the knock?" I spoke out at whoever it was, and to my greatest surprise, the door opened to reveal the demon king standing right there with a smile on his face, but the smile vanished when he saw the redness of my cheek from the slap of that demon.
"Who dared to touch you?" He growled, walking over to the bed, drawing closer as he placed his hand on my cheek. I threw my head back, looking away with a deep frown on my face.
"I'm very sorry for allowing this to happen. Please just tell me who did this." He pressed on, his anger vivid on every word as those eyes flinted with rage and affection.
I knew instantly that it was all true. I had captured his heart. How sweet is Luna to me even after all my evil deeds? I now have the king on my side. Awesome.
"I should tell you. It's not like you will do anything to him. He is your buddy. The one that brought me here from the wolf pack." I replied, and he jumped out of bed instantly.
"I will kill him for this if you want." He fumed, and a smirk curled up on my lips.
I left the bed and walked over to him, seeing his heart racing as he gazed at me like I was an angel.
I held his cheeks.
"I am in love with you, too. It hadn't been easy for me to stay away all these years in that pack without you, but I was afraid to say it. Do you also love me? We can make it work. We can become the couples we both desired and longed for." I cooed, my voice low and seductive, as I wrapped my arms around him, resting my head on his shoulder.
He was speechless, his mouth agape as he stared at me in awe.
"Are...you... serious? I am the demon king. Have you forgotten? Werewolves and..."
"Cut the crap, please. I regret being a werewolf, and I find my peace and happiness here with you. Please don't push me away." I moaned, looking up at his eyes as he towered at me like a big statue.
A huge smile appeared on his face, his eyes twinkling.
"Oh, Laura. I don't know what to say, but this is the best moment of my life. I am abandoning my supposed next wife for you. You are the one for me after I lost my wife." He said it sweetly, and I beamed, hugging him and burying my face into his chest to avoid any chance of a kiss.
I might puke if I kiss him because of how much he disgusts me. Being his queen will make me closer to him. From there, I can plan my plan for ending his life and being the ruler. That's still a dream, but I can see it coming.
"So tell me what you want me to do to him for slapping him. Do you want me to kill him?" He asked seriously.
Yes, I want. But I want it in public. Arrange a public gathering and slay him in front of everyone. Confess your love for me and your intention of making me your queen. Then kill him, telling everyone that he died because he slapped me." I requested, thinking he would decline, but after a little hesitation, he agreed.
Wow!
Everything went fast, and the very next day, my life changed. The gathering was an emergency, which made all the demons curious as they all came out in their large crowd. No one could tell what would make the king announce such a meeting at this time.
If only they knew the werewolf they disliked was about to stamp on their heads as the queen.
It all happened like a dream, and the outburst that occurred from the crowd when I was announced was unbelievable. Many even began to go home, ignoring the king's order for no one to step out.
Yet it didn't stop him as he slained the demon that slapped me, doing exactly as I requested.
Three days passed with everything going as planned while I waited patiently for the dark moon festival, which was the day demon queens were crowned. It was only five days left, and it would all become reality.
As I sat in my room with five maids, dressing my nails, washing, and perming my hair, the others were on their knees with bowls of grape stretched out to me.
Any mistake from any of them results in a hot slap.
Just then, the door was kicked open, and a lady stomped in, boiling in anger and pain. I could sense she was a royal demon with her scent.
"Who are you to take over my place?" She lashed, her breath heavy and her eyes bloodshot.
"Who are you in the first place, and who allowed you in here?" I sneered, looking at her from head to toe.
"You werewolf bitch that knows nothing about our tradition. For your information, I am the next in line to be the queen. It was all going fine until you appeared. What did you use on the king to sway his mind?" She barked aggressively.
"Nothing. Now get out of my room. You can choose to hit your head on the pillar because you are already disqualified from the queen position. Mrs demon." I scorned, laughing as she glared wickedly at me, gritting her teeth.
"I will kill you if you don't go back to where you came from," she snarled, and I couldn't hold back my laughter as I snapped my fingers.
Five bodyguards rushed in.
"Strip her. Tie her. And whip her twenty-four strokes, now!" I ordered, and there was dead silence as they looked at me, bewildered.
"What? She is the top-ranked demon knight's daughter. I'm sorry, ma'am, but we...
"You won't do as I say? Okay, wait till I report you to the demon king that you all hit me." I warned them, and fear gripped them.
"We are sorry. We will do as you said, please." They begged.
"What? Are you all mad?" The so-called knight daughter yelled in shock, but with a smirk, I gestured at them to swing to action while I watched the show.
They didn't hesitate, for fear of being slain. I don't care what rank her father has, as long as it's below the demon king.
She tried to fight back, but they were well-trained, hefty men, so she was overpowered, and the young girl was stripped and lashed, her cry echoing till she almost lost her voice.
"Dress her up and take her back to her stupid father." I waved with giggles as they took her away while she kept crying uncontrollably.
The news spread like wildfire, but there was nothing they could do. The demon king was ready to support me over his people, and according to their laws, they were bound to obey and respect him forever till he died.
It was really fun and a thrilling adventure until Ella showed up to make me pay for that letter used to blackmail her.
She wouldn't have found me if the stupid lady I flogged didn't go as far as meeting with her just to get at me.
