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

What an irony."I feel like we're the luckiest idiots to have such beautiful creatures in front of us," Azazziel said, and somehow he didn't have to force himself to raise his voice to be heard above the chaotic noise of the party. I immediately felt a slight warmth rise to my face. Next to me, Nat reacted the same as me and I had to accept that the bastard knew what he was doing. At once, he cocked his head at Khaius, raising an eyebrow. Don't you think so, Jon?Khaius looked at him for a second, then looked at us, although his eyes stopped on Nat."Without a doubt," the demon replied, without having to make an effort for us to hear him either.She giggled in between a nervous “thank you,” and I pursed my lips, feeling a tingling growing in my stomach."I-I'm coming," she stammered as she touched my arm, "I'll go get something to drink."He looked at me for a moment in which I was able to notice the hint of pure nervousness that had taken over his features. Nat, being nervous and loo

-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

"Not this kind of music," he confessed as he looked suspiciously at the people who moved to the rhythm on the improvised dance floor. Immediately, her sight returned to my face. But I could try it with you.That made me laugh out of pure anxiety. My eyebrows knitted together again as I realized what we were doing. It was strange that we were sharing without arguing about something, without looking at each other with hatred or frustration, but as if we were actually getting along.Too strange. For a painful second, feeling an overwhelming fervor grow in the center of my chest as I admired his face, I almost forgot what he was, what I was.Almost ……Until his smile faded, and his expression became serious. At that moment, his eyes scanned the room wide, and I knew something alarmed him.-What's happening? —I inquired."Find Khaius or Akhliss, and stay with them," he said in that authoritative tone he knew well. I felt a rush of ice run down my back the moment his hands left me.-Where a

The demon's gray eyes met mine for an eternal moment. An instant that he wreaked havoc on my chest, while I saw the incongruous image of her lips on hers.In the next second, with my mind blank, I turned on my heels.I didn't notice the people. I removed with my arm every person who crossed my path, anyone who prevented me from the only thing I wanted to do at that moment. He could not escape through the entrance of the house, not without passing by them and witnessing what preceded an excessive and repulsive closeness. So I pushed through the kitchen and out to the backyard, which was still packed with people, boys and girls bathing and others just talking or dancing around the pool. That just made me even more desperate.I strode forward until I opened the door to that cumbersome fenced area. The music was still playing so loudly that it echoed in my ears and in my ribcage, and somehow it seemed to worsen that strange feeling that squeezed my chest in a painful way. I just wanted to

Something inside me burned and it wasn't pleasant, so I decided to just focus on him. And why the hell it seemed like we were fleeing from a terrible catastrophe.—And what the hell do you want with me?"I'm not sure," he said through clenched teeth. She doesn't even usually come to Earth, she hates it. She always sends her subordinates in her place. I don't understand what the hell she wants... —She stopped and exhaled exhaustedly."I thought what Azazziel felt was Mabrax's presence..." Saying his name caused a painful sting in the center of my chest, but I made a colossal effort to keep it at bay. I made a mistake."No, you weren't wrong," he snapped, looking down at me seriously. Mabrax was there.I tensed up immediately. I couldn't help but open my eyes in fear.Oh shit ...—Do you think they are working together? The fear in my tone was palpable. S-her and Mabrax?"It's the safest thing," he grunted in frustration. That bastard must have told her about you, and she might have wan

I gritted my teeth and then looked up at Khaius. He looked out of place, too serious, even his breathing was rushed.Why did he seem to fear her so much?“Oh, I know,” she agreed, and I could see how malice took over her features. You're sensitive because Azazziel kissed me, right? —The shocked reaction on my face made her laugh. Immediately, a combination of pain and anger invaded every corner of my being, so much so that I felt the strong impulse to come out of my hiding place, but Khaius put his arm in front of me again to prevent it. I just dug my nails into the skin of my palms. Don't be naive, little girl, what makes you think he's really interested in you, when he has me?My anger was overshadowed by the painful way my chest tightened. She seemed to notice, as the mockery in her smile heightened.—Enough, Naamah. —Khaius's tone was now hoarse and imperative, without a trace of fear in it, such as she had not heard before.She gave him a stern look.—And why do you defend her? —

"No... I can..." he said to me with difficulty, with his teeth clenched and his entire face contorted with pain."Yes, yes you can," I insisted in a small voice. She is responsible for you being here, for you being what you are.—L-I… I owe…—You don't owe him anything! —I interrupted him—. You are not a slave. Not hers, not Azazziel's. From no one! You can decide for yourself!"It's over," Naamah spoke, with a surly and authoritarian tone. Khaius, that's a fucking order. I want you to kill Amy. NOW!The demon next to me uttered another short cry, while wrapping my arm tighter than before. An anguished hiss escaped me.—Khaius, please …He crouched down to one knee on the ground, forcing me to go down with him. She opened her amber eyes, which seemed to shine with an anger she had never seen in him. And yet, I could glimpse in them the struggle that raged within them.I had to appeal to that side."D-don't obey him, you don't have to," I said in a broken whisper, just for him. You can
