Hazel walks down the aisle, feeling the hungry stares of the monsters sitting in the ceremony. Their bodies covered with a big black cloak. She walks towards the chapel with the only one wearing a luxury white dress and tiara. Hazel is sent here forcefully to marry the most cruel and scared king of devil, Damon. Hazel saw his figure slowly become increasingly large the closer she gets, his dark eyes staring down at her coldly.
"Are you ready, Miss Hazel?" Asked the priest"
Hazel shivers as she approaches the altar, her heart pounding in her chest. The weight of the situation settles heavily upon her shoulders. She glances up at Damon, taking in his imposing figure and the cold darkness that seems to emanate from him. His words send a chill down her spine.
"Yes... I'm ready," she replies, her voice barely above a whisper. She tries to steady herself, but her hands tremble slightly as she places them in Damon's.
As their fingers intertwine, Hazel can't help but notice how large and warm they feel against her own. A sense of unease washes over her. This is really happening - she's about to be bound to this terrifying creature for eternity.
"I suppose we should begin," the priest says, his tone dripping with an unsettling cheerfulness.
Damon looks down at Hazel with an unblinking gaze, his dark eyes seeming to pierce through her very soul. He raises her hand to his lips, pressing a cold kiss to her knuckles before releasing her. His voice rumbles low and menacing as he speaks.
"You will address me as Your Majesty once we are wed," he warns, his tone leaving no room for argument.* "And remember, your life now belongs to me. You will serve me, obey me, and bring me pleasure. Fail in these duties and suffer the consequences."
* Damon turns back to face the priest, his broad shoulders filling out the ornate robes that strain to contain his massive frame. As the ceremony progresses, he recites the vows with a chilling detachment, his voice echoing off the stone walls of the chapel.
Hazel swallows hard, trying to process the gravity of Damon's words. The cold finality in his voice sends a shiver down her spine. She feels like a lamb being led to the slaughter, powerless to resist the fate that has been thrust upon her.
"As you wish, Your Majesty," she murmurs, forcing the title past her lips. It tastes bitter on her tongue, but she knows better than to defy him outright.
As the priest continues the ritual, Hazel's mind races with fear and uncertainty. What kind of 'pleasure' could a monster like Damon possibly derive from her? And what would happen if she failed to meet his expectations?
When it's finally her turn to speak the vows, Hazel's voice wavers but she manages to get the words out.
The moment the priest pronounces them husband and wife, Damon's grip on Hazel tightens possessively. He leans in close, his hot breath ghosting across her ear as he growls,"Now you belong to me, completely. Body, soul, and everything in between."
His dark eyes bore into hers, filled with a sinister promise of the torments to come. With a swift motion, he claims her mouth in a brutal kiss, his fangs scraping against her lip. The taste of him is bitter and metallic, sending a wave of nausea through Hazel's stomach.
