Chapter 241
Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen
241 Awakaned
Selma Payneâs POV:
Dorothy was a beautiful lady. Her facial features were gentle, and she had a demure aura. The way she sat in the library and read was like a classical oil painting.
However, it was strange for such a face to be on a demon.
Compared to Dorothy, Azazelâs facial features were sharper and had a distinct masculine quality. And from the details, the two looked different, but anyone who knew Dorothy would think of her when they saw Azazel. This was a wonderful similarity. It was not a rigid copy but rather caused by the blood of the mayfly.
I was so shocked by this thought that my heart skipped a beat.
Dorothy and Azazel? Give me a break! There were thousands of years between them!
It had to be said that Azazel was very handsome and had a very charming temperament. Upon seeing him, oneâs first reaction would never be to think he was a demon. Instead, one would think such a person should have grown up in a church, from a choir to a confessional.
The black fog condensed into a long robe, and Azazel put it on as if no one else was around. It was as if the servants and we at his feet were nothing but air.
âItâs been 300 years,â Azazel murmured as he looked at the bright moonlight. âItâs been so long, yet so short.â
âYour believers are always looking forward to your return! We have selected the most vicious sacrifice and the purest bride for you as the appetizer to welcome your return. Please enjoy!â the archpriest said enthusiastically.
However, Azazel did not look at the corpses on the ground or care about the unconscious witches next to the altar.
âI think I was wrong, Castro. You donât understand me at all.â
The archpriest immediately panicked and asked in fear, âPlease explain, my Lord.â
âI donât like wolves pulling my carriage. These animals that donât bathe will dirty my cushion.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the wolves began to transform. No matter how hard they tried, they couldnât control their bodies and eventually turned back into werewolves.
Morgan disappeared. Aldrich, who replaced him, stood beside me, and we looked at each other in shock.
âI donât like witches either. The dirty smell of the swamp on their bodies makes me sick.â
With a wave of his hand, the witches disappeared without a trace.
Where did they go? It was true that these girls werenât very smart, but these were innocent lives!
âWhere did you send them?â I stood out in anger.
âWatch your attitude!â the archpriest immediately rebuked in dissatisfaction. âHeathen! You canât be disrespectful to my master!â
I ignored him and looked straight into his blank eyes. I stubbornly needed an answer. I was not afraid of angering him. Facing such a powerful demon with such an unpredictable mood, his emotions are of no importance because if he wanted to kill us, itâd be as easy as stepping on an ant. Since that was the case, why should he be so submissive and make him unhappy?
To my surprise, Azazel didnât answer me, nor did he get angry or laugh at me for overestimating myself. He looked at me in a daze, then walked straight toward me.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?â Aldrich immediately stood in front of me, but with a wave of Azazelâs hand, he and the other werewolves were firmly trapped on the rock wall like iron sheets attracted by a magnet.
âDammit! Donât get close to her, you disgusting goat person!â
Aldrichâs angry curses did not get any response from Azazel. He suddenly lost his voice, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
âDonât hurt him!â I glared at Azazel anxiously. âWhatever you want to do, come at me!â
âItâs just a small punishment. I donât like flies buzzing around my ears. It makes me think of Beelzebub, that mud monster. Losing a tongue wonât affect werewolves,â Azazel said lightly. âItâll grow back on its own in a week.â
What did he say? Did he destroy Aldrichâs tongue?
After throwing my fear and anxiety to the back of my mind, I ran in large strides toward Aldrich and pried open his mouth under his worried and disapproving gaze. His tongue was even redder under the blood. Countless cracks cut the soft muscle tissue into a torn hemp rope, and blood flowed out.
Azazel ignored my glare and stood where I was standing. He suddenly took a deep breath.
âPhew... what a familiar smell.â
His scarlet eyes were like a giant hand that locked onto me.
âA stream, a thin layer of snow, a clear night sky, and clear moonlight. I like this taste; it makes me feel relaxed and happy. I have dreamed of these crickets in my 300 years of boring sleep.â
No matter how beautiful a man was, he would sound very vulgar when he judged your taste. I said, âYouâre so disgusting. Youâre like a pervert whoâs been single for fifty years and can only masturbate by stealing his neighborâs underwear.â
The archpriest looked like he wanted to rush over and break my neck. Azazel interrupted his obscenity and chuckled happily. âEven their personalities are so familiar! My dear lady, whatâs your name?â
âWhy should I tell you?â
âHer name is Selma, my Lord. One of the candidates for your one-night bride. I believe this lowly soul will always be honored if I can get your mercy,â the priest answered, flattering.
