Chapter 66: THE BOND (2)
King Varziel softly chuckled, his fingers tracing soft patterns over Arella’s skin. His touch made her shiver slightly every time. "You will absolutely be alive, my queen. It is not as... savage as I think you might be imagining." As if to prove his point, he took a light nip of her shoulder. "The bite will not drain any blood to any dangerous extent, just enough for our energies to merge together. It will also be a mark of permanence. I will not get another partner for as long as I live. I am not sure if the same will apply to you, seeing as you are an angel."
Arella tilted her head, processing his words, "Symbolic? How does that work exactly?"
"It forms a bond; in our case, your holy power and my demonic energy will merge, and in turn our bond will be deepened. Those who have the ability to see auras or sense bonds may very well be able to see the bond better though."
Arella shut her eyes tightly, as an uncertain feeling washed over her. Did she really want to be bonded to this demon for the rest of her life?
Marriage was different. She could kill him and run away from him if she ever got tired of him or if he ever showed that he was different than what he was showing her at that moment. It would very well cause her to get forever attached to a demon who may be using her for something she did not know yet.
Just the thought of it made her want to bash his head in, although he had not even done anything wrong.
"Will it hurt?" She asked finally. "At the very least, I would not want it to hurt."
"Ah, I do not know the specifics, but I heard that the pain is brief before it gives way to some sort of euphoria." Arella could not see his face, but she could tell that he was blushing. That made her want to tease him even more.
"So you have experience with this?"
