An Offer You Shouldn't Deny

The Demon-Wolf King, Bahm 👑

"To the Demon-King's Castle. You can be one of the maids and eat like this all the time, even better." I say nonchalantly. Not trying to scare her.

"Demon..King? Oh no no no. I'm okay." She says and picks up the pieces of bread from her lap.

"How come?" I tilt my heavy head.

"Why would I? I'm trying to go home..." she mumbles and stares into the view of the ocean.

"I think he can help with that. He is a demon after all.."

"I..I can't. I'm too scared." She stammers out and rubs her elbows.

"Scared of what? You would best be protected there then here. My beautiful witch."

I was desperately needing her by my side now or at least in my castle and near me. She shouldn't be afraid of me.

I needed to find a way to void this marriage. Just thinking about the aftermath gave me chills. I'd have to face the wraths of many people, but once they all find out Hunnie is for sure my mate, I'm sure my people will accept her. Even if she is a dark-witch.

I have.

"Scared..S-Scared of him." Hunnie moves her

luscious pink lips and bites them.

"Nothing to be afraid of. He's nice to his maids...I heard." I was going to tell her anything I could to try and convince her to come with me. Obviously without giving away who I was.

"Uhm. I don't know about that." She says.

"I'll be around to protect you as well." I half lied to her.

A small smirk forms on her face and she eye balls the entire length of my body.

"Look how huge you are. Someone would hunt you."

"Not at all. The kingdom is full of supernatural beings like myself." I accidentally spill out.

"You are supernatural?" Her head cocks to the side.

"Maybe...Im not this huge because I'm a beast ya'know." I'm actually one of the last wolf my size. Since my father.

"So...So you can change to a man?"

"No." I lie, but I could sense she still wanted to question more.

"I wish I could be a man. I would take you away and marry you!"

She giggles at my statement shyly. I'm sure she had no idea what it is that she does to my demons and I.

"So will you except my invitation?"

"What invitation?" She asks ever so innocently. Like she forgot already.

"To live in the castle. I would really like to see you. I tend to get in trouble for escaping lately." I blurted out.

She thinks for a minute and I could sense her heart racing, so I place my head on her knees and whimper. Acting like an overgrown dog.

"I promise you won't be hurt. Everyone in the castle is nice and welcoming." I try again.

"In The Demon King's castle? They are nice?" She chuckles like it was a joke.

"I've heard horrible things about him in the village." She tucks her hair behind her ears and starts eating more cheese and drinks water.

"Oh great." I say to myself.

"He has no patience and is as ugly as a troll..." she drifts off because her mouth is too full.

"Where did you hear that?" I ask, but already knew those damn humans were always talking shit about me!

"Mmm. The villagers. They all fear him...seems like he likes women too. They call him a sex demon sometimes.

My ears twitch and I huff. I was most definitely not an incubus! And I didn't have sexual relations with humans! I was a bit enraged that she had that kind of information about the "Demon King"!

Some of the demons hitching a ride with me had more of higher appetite than me and Aldrerix.

"The villagers are wrong. Come!" I say standing up.

"I will go talk with the lady in charge of all the maids and tell her you seek shelter and willing to work. You will get your own room. I'm nice to her so she will be happy to welcome a new witchy member to service the castle." I lick pieces of bread crumbs off her face and she giggles trying to push my head away.

"Please tell me you will accept." I get to a sitting position and til my head high. Looking like a royally obedient pup.

I did a little march in place and whimpered out loud some more. I could feel her eyes scanning over my body and her mind trying to pursue her to reject, but she sighs and bites the corner of her lips.

"Ok...I guess. But you can gurantee I'll run away if I don't like it." She says and dusts her legs before standing up.

A growl of admiration leaves my throat and she watches me with confusion. I wanted to pounce on her creamy body and take it all, but obviously, that couldn't work in my animal form. Or could it?

"You can't go naked though, I might kill someone for looking at you and I really like their cooks food." I teased her, still sitting in my high sitting position.


Hunnie's P.O.V

I made my way back to the village after agreeing with Aldrerix to be a live-in maid at the Demon King's Castle. I hated to admit, I wasn't sure why, and how I could of even agreed to such an offer. What was I going to get myself into by being a maid at some demon's castle?

This was all to horrifying to me. Aldrerix left to go make the arrangements with the woman in charged of assigning the maids to their duties. Now I was left to go buy some appealing clothes to enter into the castle.

I never really go down to their small flea-market, as I never had money and always stayed near the barn at the beginning. I also feared meeting the actual village people that posted the signs of no witches entering in. I was petrified of being found or even killed.

What if they take the large sum of gold coins Aldrerix gave me and hang me right on spot because they've never seen me before.

Now the thought was racing through my mind and I wanted to just buy whatever I could, leave right away and head back to the shore to meet Aldrerix.

Passing many men in knee high tunics and swords at their side, I walked on the dirt road towards the outdoor mall. Their was an obvious noisy crowd of women wearing long silky kirtles and puffing in their pipes.

I entered under the first clothing tent I seen, and browsed through the many dresses and coats piled on a table. Grabbing a creamy, colored lace dress, I held it up to my body and stretched it out a bit to see if it could fit. I wasn't quit sure what size of clothing I would be at the moment as I had lost a lot of weight in my midsection and thighs.

I threw the dress over my shoulder and proceeded to pick up another flimsy wavy dress that looked like a long piece of sheer fabric versus a dress.

"Oh that one is my favorite!" I heard the shopkeeper grunt from behind his table. "My wife wears it for me. Lucky guy to see you!" His broken accent came out thick and he laughs deeply.

I chuckled nervously and continued browsing the next scattered table, picking up a few long skirts. One black and the other red. I seen some cute hair accessories and pairs of skimpy panties that I knew would fit my derrière, in a white wooden baskets and I grabbed them both, making my way to the shopkeeper. I felt a little embarrassed about the panties, but I knew I would never have to come in here again.

He smiled widely and gave me a weird price name, "3 slivering shillings," he said, but I wasn't even sure how much these small gold pebbles and and coins were even worth! I just knew that they were gold!

He began folding the clothes and taking a ribbon to wrap it all together. I gave him two gold coins and his eyes grew widely. I grabbed my belongings and told him thank you and he stood rooted to his spot.

He stammered a few words before I quickly dashed away and out from his tent. Just like I figured, the currency was worth a lot more than I actually needed. Tucking the newly bought clothing inside my travel bag, I power walked all the way from the south side of the village, to front, leaving through the gates exit.

I disappeared through the East side's forest and made my way to the shoreline and waited for Aldrerix to come back for me. I trusted him somehow and believed that The Demon King really could help me to get home, but the feeling of leaving without my new secret didn't seem just right.

I couldn't just leave this moment behind. The bond that I felt with the wolf was more than a memory that I was willing to forget.

Maybe I could convince The Demon King to turn him to a man?

Maybe I could convince him to come with me back to my home?

Maybe this was an offer I shouldn't decline. "Don't be scared of The ruthless and vicious Demon King Hunnie." I chanted to myself.

"He might be able to help a dark witch like myself." I took a nap wearing my lace, cream colored dress and dreaming of this plan.
