Did my life really seem so miserable, as Azazziel had said before? Why did he think I wanted to die when I followed him and Mabrax? It was undeniable that I had an uncertain future, that I had no idea what to do with my existence, that I never experienced so many things that most boys my age had already done. But from there to being considered miserable ?I had been thinking about the same thing all day, and so now I was reviewing information about the careers offered by the Portland universities. I was distracting myself while I was preparing my bag to go home, when an object in plain sight made me jump.I put a hand on my chest, startled, as I gazed at the pink paper flower in front of me. It looked like an origami job or something, with a little piece of paper attached to it that had a tiny handwritten inscription—a handwriting I knew very well—that said: I'm so sorry . I miss you".I frowned and looked up at Diana. The light green of her eyes showed a regret that made my chest con

I looked at her for a second, unable to believe what she was saying to me."Did you like that I didn't give my opinion?" I asked in astonishment. At once, I narrowed my eyes, unable to abate the strange rage that began to consume me. Well, maybe now I want to start saying what I don't like, and what I think is not right. Like you have a dream and you don't want to fulfill it for a stupid reason, and you prefer to stay in this job that you hate for the rest of your life.—I don't think I ever saw you angry before, until that day when you discovered us. A very rare slight smile, like a mixture between sad and stunned, she stretched her lips. I liked you better when you were calm, when you didn't get angry about anything.At that moment, an alien voice made us neglect our discussion."Ladies, I'm sorry to interrupt," Jade murmured, approaching us with some caution, "but there's a girl who ordered a coffee from the machine and…""Yes, Jade," I interrupted, still looking at Diana. Her gree

The wickedness of his smile deepened."Guess," he insisted.Another flash of rage pooled more blood on my face. He didn't understand her, but he didn't want to either."I don't care what you two are, demon." The determination I craved was finally heard in my voice. So get out of my sight.A giggle left her." Uuh , how daring," he mocked. Will you throw me holy water too? I warn you that pain does not scare me, quite the contrary. She cheekily bit her lip and I clenched my hands. This girl must definitely have something to do with him, she seemed to be just as crazy.Even so, a feeling of surprise came over me, because I had never entertained the idea that Azazziel could have a mate."You seem to be strong-willed." Anger welled up in me and I scowled at her. She faked a scared expression. When I didn't answer her, she clucked and sighed, as if she'd gotten bored. It's okay, I'll go. Anyway, being around you is horrible. I don't know how he bears it.She pushed away from the wall she w

That feeling faded with growing anger.-Who the hell are you? I snapped.He showed no sign of anger at my tone."I'm not from Mabrax, if that's what you think."-So, whose…? I frowned more. The alternative seemed unlikely, but it was all I could think of when she referred to "Him . " Azazziel sent you?He shook his head in another calm nod, showing no emotion at all.An alien disturbance, a complete mix of concussions constricted my chest and made it difficult for me to breathe.The critical look of an elderly lady distracted me. The woman watched me out of the corner of her eye, frowning several times, as she walked away, quickening her pace. I frowned at her. Why the hell did she see me like that?"Sorry, wait," the demon murmured. Without waiting for my answer, he closed his eyes, adopting a very stern expression, and opened them a couple of seconds later. Okay, now people won't believe you're talking to yourself.I felt the blood cover my face from sheer shame, and the anger grew

My lips pursed as I glanced at the clock on the wall behind the bar, realizing I finally had to go.I didn't miss Diana shoving my shoulder as she bolted out. Her childish act stunned me, before anger engulfed me. I ground my teeth, holding back my urge to face her, but I already had enough trouble to fight her again. While she might be annoyed that she wasn't making any effort to apologize to me, she just couldn't find me in the mood for it.Perhaps, in a way, it was better this way. If Diana noticed that Khaius was hanging around me, she'd probably want to know about him. And I wouldn't let her risk it like that.I was grateful, inwardly, that the devil made an effort to give me my space. He was walking almost a street away from me, and he was not accompanying me on the bus trip; but, even so, he arrived before me at my house. And there it stayed. Waiting outside.Something that caught my attention about him was that his gaze did not reflect any kind of feeling, like the curiosity t
