And just at that moment, he ended the contact.At this point, the pounding in my chest was so violent that I thought my heart would burst out of my ribcage. I didn't know what happened, if I did something wrong or what, but the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was his deeply frowned brow, coupled with an austere and severe look that had taken over his features. Astonishment overcame me, as I noticed the speed with which his chest swelled and returned to normal. Same as mine. I swallowed air as the hand that was on my cheek moved away. Still looking angry, he gently slid the tips of his long fingers along the contour of my jaw, then over my lips, and it was only then that I noticed their burning and swelling. A suspicious half smile appeared on his face the moment I unconsciously moved my face slightly following the caress of his hand.Azazziel let out a light hoarse laugh that, in the midst of that silence, sounded perverse.—Oh, did you want to continue? —She inquired with a c

He shook the puppy a little. He raised his head toward her and lowered her pointed ears. I made an unfriendly face."It's thirty centimeters long," I snapped. I couldn't even scare my cat.—They have to give themselves away when they are puppies, otherwise they would never accept another owner. —He grimaced and let out a short sigh, with a certain tedium, as if he were already beginning to get tired of insisting—. "Come on, Amy, give it a chance," she asked in a more serious tone. If you can't get used to it, then I'll take it.I sighed in return and rolled my eyes at the sky, giving up.I glared at her as I reluctantly reached out to grab the animal. He was somewhat heavy for his size, his black fur-covered skin burned as if he had a fever, and I wondered if that was normal. I examined him carefully, as if I was afraid he was going to bite me at any moment, but he just lowered his head, looking a little sad. He knew very little about dog breeds, but because of the tiny pointed ears a

"Even if it's already marked," Akhliss assured.I clenched my fists. I would have felt the blood drain from me if it hadn't been for the puppy on my legs providing me with plenty of warmth.I took the book from Akhliss.—I have read this several times... —I searched through the pages until I found the part where a list of demons and their description appeared, but then I hesitated when I saw the seriousness with which both of them were looking at me—. I think... What if I have something like a curse? —I proposed.The good thing was that they didn't laugh, as I had thought. The two maintained a very stern countenance."But..." Khaius murmured, his brow sinking even further, "why?" I mean, who would have anything against you?"I-I don't know," I admitted. But… if someone is responsible for this, even if we don't know who, he could help, right? —I turned the book towards them and pointed with a finger to a line on the page that I left open, right where the name of a demon appeared whose

I swallowed hard as I studied his stern face, his narrowed brown eyes, and his purple lips pursed in anger. How could such a small person look threatening?—W-good! I hesitated, trying to sound annoyed, although I didn't even come close. But next time we go out, I want you to dress all in pink, like a damn strawberry! Done?-Made! —She replied with determination.It was Anthony who gave me the direction of the party. He confirmed what Diana said, as that same morning she had approached me suggesting I go. Although he didn't say it out loud, I knew right away that he expected me to bring the boyfriend he was convinced he had.Instead, she was going to disappoint him by going with Nat.From the street in front we could hear the loud music and see the crowd of strangers, the vast majority of them college students and other friends of Anthony, I assumed. We advanced until we crossed the large garden, where there were some groups of boys smoking and chatting relaxedly. The house itself see

-You're making fun? —I accused him.I turned my face so I could see his, although I felt overwhelmed when I noticed how close he was. A slight wrinkle of confusion crossed her forehead."Why don't you ever trust me?" I'm serious.I felt a slight embarrassment, but shook my head.-What are you playing?I saw how his expression became somewhat amused and relaxed, something I was not used to seeing in him. A look that seemed malicious crossed his gaze.“I don't play anything, Amy.—If I wanted you here, I would have invited you.—You know that's not true. Her presumptuous expression faltered, and she gave a short sigh as she looked away toward the tumult of people in the center of the room. But if it really bothers you that I'm here, then I'm out of here.I clenched my fists at my sides, feeling angry but confused.We watched each other radiate anger for a couple of seconds, until one corner of his lips curved into a half-smile. The arm around my waist pulled me close to him and my stoma
