Of all that he expounded, only the last seemed like something Azazziel could say.My jaw dropped open, then snapped shut in irritation.“Sure, I 'm the pain in the ass. -I rolled my eyes-. You know he has my soul, right?"He doesn't have your soul, you'd be dead if he did," she pointed out. He just…how shall I put it?"Did he mark her?"He smiled again, returning his gaze to me."You're smarter than you look," he said approvingly. He mentioned it, too."Can it be reversed?" I asked with too much expectation.Khaius grimaced, then scratched his head with a finger."Yes," he replied with some insecurity, "it's possible." But there's no way you'll be able to convince Azazziel. He is too hardheaded.I let out a gasp of sheer shock. A light of hope oppressed my chest, leaving a warm and overwhelming feeling behind it.“S-he once said…” I began hesitantly, “that I was lucky he found me and not someone else.The demon frowned and considered my words."Yes, and no," he said, placing a hand on

My attacker pulled me as easily as if I weighed two pounds, still covering my mouth to prevent my protests. I tried to cling more than once to a wall or any object, but no matter how hard I tried to fight, she simply exerted more force and dragged me through the gloomy streets, completely blackened by the absence of light on the poles; She didn't know if there was a general cut, or if it was her doing that they had turned off.Not know what to do. I didn't know how to defend myself. Adrenaline, caused by sheer desperation, flowed into my system and, in one of my thrusts, I bit without hesitation on the hand that covered my mouth. My attacker's hiss made me believe, for a second, that he had a chance to escape.However, at that moment I felt a sharp blow to the side of my head, so strong that it made me hear a deafening whistle and instantly blurred my vision.And then, along with every one of my senses, darkness enveloped that fleeting glimmer of hope.My eyelids began to open little

Then, he huffed dramatically, rolling his eyes.“Oh shit…” he muttered with obvious boredom, “the spoilsport is here. See, why did you take so long to wake up?I frowned at her, unable to understand what she meant.At that moment, strong, insistent and sudden blows were heard. As if someone knocked on the door with enough impetus.My eyes widened with anxiety at whoever I was playing with such verve, but the chick in front of me didn't flinch. I didn't even manage to move a single muscle, when a noise resounded in the room, like breaking wood.My heart pounded desperately against my chest, a reflection of the terror that erupted in me."And now that?!"I searched with my eyes for something that would be useful to me, anything that would help me to hit or attack the stranger who entered, although none of the objects belonged to me, while I heard some rough footsteps approaching.The scream of terror was stuck in my throat, as soon as I could see Khaius peeking out of the doorway.I bre

I shook my head and stared at the ground, appreciating how despair quickened my breathing.He couldn't believe what he was about to say."If…if that's the case…" I muttered hoarsely and swallowed, clenching my fists as I couldn't, feeling an unpleasant well of anger and impotence building in me, "then I'll talk to Azazziel… He said he'd let me live a life." Quiet life, and this ," I remarked, waving toward the two of them, "is far from a normal life.The demon sighed and took a step towards me."Amy, I don't mean to discourage you," he murmured, grimacing apologetically and shaking his head from side to side, "but it's very likely that that possibility no longer exists." In a way, and as much as she hates to admit it, Akhliss may be right: you could have encountered some other demon… much worse.I thought my head would explode. I brought a hand to my forehead, feeling it burn. A brief laugh of pure irony escaped me."Is there anyone worse than Azazziel?" I raised an eyebrow." There a

Suddenly, Akhliss's words were to my ears what honey was to my palate. I studied her face, serene now, just as she did with me. Her features, so perfect as if they had been made for a specific purpose, were haunting; she had such a pretty face, that I felt like I could look at her for a long time without getting tired. Somehow, I felt lightheaded and dizzy.I saw her raise her hand, the one that wasn't holding me, and she brushed her fingertips against my cheekbone. I couldn't pull away, I couldn't move a single muscle. All I did was stay perfectly still and receive the contact, which felt like a strange and strange mix between silk and electric current.“Enough, Akhliss. Khaius's voice seemed to sound very far away, as if he was not next to us, but rather far away.He sounded very severe, but neither she nor I paid any attention to him.-That I have to do? I whispered.I did not think; it was as if the words came out of my mouth without my being able to stop them.“Amy…” I heard Khai
