Chapter 2 First Sight
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey Matt can we take a break? I'm dying over here." The male groaned, throwing down the sword in hand. Ashton was now 18, only a matter of time before he'd have to take the throne, and only becoming more rebellious as he aged.
With a light chuckle, Matt leaned on a wall. "Fine. That's enough for today, but don't tell your father. He'd kill me if he found out I let you out early." These words cause cheers of excitement from Ashton.
The younger male collapsed to the ground comfortably, giving a sigh of relief. "Hey have you heard about the treaty agreement? Father won't tell me anything about it." He asked curiously. The other male shrugged. "Its just another Heaven and Hell treaty. Nothing new that you need to worry about. Besides. Your father is terrible at bargaining especially when he can't use you as collateral."
"Wait he's trying to marry me off again? Does hell not have a suitable bride." His words sarcastic and mocking. With a laugh Matt spoke. "No. Infact the king of Hell doesn't have any children. He's too young to want any let alone marry. I heard he doesn't take female company anyways." He shrugged.
Ashton looked up at him and cocked his head. "That's an option?" He asked, almost desperate for the answer. For quite some time, the prince had been pressured to choose a woman to be his wife and despite his continued plee to never marry, the king was adamant. Now having given up on his son's ability to find him a bride, he took it into his own hands.
After nearly an hour of the prince and his guard arguing about the viability of the king's plans, the older angel spoke softly. "I know you don't want to do this, but you know he won't give you much of a choice." He sighed. "Behave while I go keep an eye on your father during the treaty. Demons are nothing you want to be messing with." Matt left without another word, causing Ashton to jump to his feet.
He was never allowed in on any political business, the committee having no faith in his ability to speak to other royalty. Ash was incredibly curious to what the Demons were really like. Were they as evil as everyone made them out to be or were they actually just like everyone else? This was a question that would lead him to peaking out the training room door, hoping for his first glimpse of the demon king.
The castle was quiet despite the multitude of visitors and guards purched at the ready. The Demon king lived up to his name, with blood red hair and piercing black eyes, he in no way looked friendly. To other Demons he was a casanova, taking more than a few lovers, but refusing to marry. He stood tall and fierce as he stared the Angel king dead in the eyes. "Well well. What do you plan on bargaining with this time? You have nothing to offer and you time is running thin." He smirked, his voice sultry and deep. The angel king stared daggers at the other, showing no falter. "We have plenty of riches and power to lend if need be. There's no reason why the treaty should end." He spat back.
Ashton watched the two in wonder from the training room door, being careful he wasn't seen. The two kings argued for what seemed like ages, only for it to finally end when the Demons kings eyes seemed to catch on something. It was a few short moments before Ashton realized the other male's eyes were fixated on him with something he couldn't necessarilycomprehend. "Fine. We'll continue the treaty. For now, but you only have so much time left Michael. It won't be long before your heir takes your throne." The demon smirked, taking his eyes off the young angel to meet the other king.
Ash's eyes widened and he quickly hide behind the door. What was that? Why did he look at him like that? How did he even know he was there? There was something bubbling inside him that hadn't felt before, but be couldn't tell if it was fear or something else entirely.
While the King of Hell had left, the castle felt off and gloomy. It wasn't incorrect that the king was growing older, and he was tiring quickly despite the power he held. As was said, it was only a matter of time before the king gave up his throne.
However nobody thought it would be as soon as that night.
When the next morning came, there were screams and tears flooding the halls. The king had been murdered in his sleep. There was no weapon and no culprit. Everyone had been acounted for in the castle. With no murder weapon, no witnesses, and no suspicions, the guards were at a loss.
When word got to Ashton, he felt a mix of sadness and relief. He would taking the throne. He would be able to make his own rule. However, he would also have to renew the treaty on his own and it was only a matter of time before Hell got word of the kings death.
He would have to face the Demon king and with a new treaty and contract needing to be made, he would be doing it alone.

It had been nearly a week since the former king had passed. Ashton had taken his place on the throne despite constantly rejecting the idea of ruling the entire realm. He was to be the youngest king to ever sit on the throne and the youngest to ever sign a peace treaty. A private room had been set up for the signing, only to be guarded from the outside. No one was the be allowed in but the two kings, much to Ashton's dismay and protest.Only hours before the Demon king would arrive, the angel sat in worry inside the private room, fiddling with everything."Why.... why do I have to be the one to do this? I was never trained on this. Nobody told me anything." He paced nervously around the room till the time had come. A guard came in to let him know that his company had arrived before leaving to let them in.

Weeks had gone by since the treaty was signed and heaven was running its normal routine. All except for Ashton, who was struggling to memorize every document that the library had to offer. He had all but forgotten about the demon king after constant reminders of the struggle that man would cause. There was more than enough time to settle down with any woman the council would give him. Not that he wanted one, but despite his newfound position, he had little rule over decisions such as procreation. The castle library was littered with books and secrets galore. It was known all throughout the realm as the only remnants of what had come before the first archon war. The original peace treaty still lay in the position it had millenniums beforehand, untouched by visitors. Dusty pages flipped silently. Words flew threw his mind at inhuman spe

The light cooing of the owls filled the starry sky, few shadows following behind the king as he snuck his way out of heaven. Nobody was to know of his little escapade to hell, not even his closest advisors. He didn't know what he was to expect upon exiting the golden gates that he'd known all his life.Having slipped on a plain black hoodie and jeans, he'd hoped he wouldn't stand out once he reached the pits. Everyone had explained for years that it was a terrifying and depressing existence to live in. Not a soul ever dared to enter without reason. It was believed that demons were hateful creatures, relishing off the agony of others. He didn't believe this to be true, but it didn't cease the fear that bubbled in his chest.The path from Heaven to Hell was simple to cross despite its very gloomy and arid atmosphere. The split between the apposing realms was short, but noticeable. Dark skies of onyx stretched to every horizon. Some called it the Void, others believed it
Angels Love Demons Chapter 6 Damien
Damien's POVHow could he be so foolish? Inviting an angel to Hell was not only dangerous, but unheard of. When the angel king had stepped into the castle, the wave of pure energy was almost nauseating. However he couldn't help but admit that he enjoyed it. After the male had left, Damien deeply regretted his choice in words. Upon first seeing Ashton, he was mesmerized by the angel's beauty. He had been told by various guards that Heaven's heir was a sight to behold, but he wasn't expecting this. With an annoyed grunt, Damien collapsed on his plush bed. Every moment that passed, he continued to curse himself for attempting to maintain his reputation. It wasn't his original intentions to continue the act, but he could feel prying eyes on him during their most recent encounter. While it was true that he regularly had new lovers, refusing to take one in permanently
Angels Love Demons Chapter 7 Growing Pains
The silence of the castle was comfortable. Ashton had grown into his position quickly, despite many challenges along the way. He had continued his training with Matt, this time more rigorously now that he had a throne to protect. "Hey Matt. Why did you never marry?" The king asked in-between thrown punches. The other male chuckled in amusement. "I never wanted to. Besides, raising you took up all my time. Wasn't like your father was going to do it so someone had to step up." Ashton smiled gently."Oh come on you never saw anyone that caught your eye?""Of course I did, but sometimes it's better to ignore any urges that could put your duties at risk."The younger angel pouted, but understood what he had meant. There were duties that were to be held above all others, even over those you loved and cherished. A part of him wondered if Matt had done this in the past, choosing his position over a loved one. His thoughts were cut off by a punch that grazed his ear. "Hey focu
Angels Love Demons Chapter 8 First Reply
Years had spun past, along with countless gifts and letters. The Council of Angels was growing ever so suspicious of Ashton's constant lack of a bride. He had turned down many suitors, refusing to marry one he did not love, and refusing to admit that he'd fallen deeply in love with the one who'd written to him. At this time even Matt had grown suspicious of the letters that now piled in a dresser in the king's room, but he never questioned them being kept considering Ash never left the castle. Behind the king's back, he decided to contact a minor god of love. While it took ages for a reply due to the busy nature of the god, the reply was less than exciting. The previous suspicions now turned to fear and worry. Were these letters really coming from the King of Hell? It couldn't be true, but the god of love was never wrong and that was what Matt feared most. It was believed that a magical book contained every person in existence, pairing th

Nearly a week after the letter had been sent off, The council of Angels had gotten word of Ashton's secret lover and had been investigating into the matter. It was quite normal for the Council of ten to be involved in all matters pertaining to the thrown, and when the current king never consulted them, plans were already being made to replace him if deemed necessary. Matt was the first to catch wind of the current predicament."Ash you have to understand that this relationship would be a mistake. That demon would have full control and you'd be tossed aside!" His voice barely louder than a whisper."Matt you're exaggerating." The king dismissed. "You and I both know that's not how it works. The council is outdated and would be downright incompetent to challenge the thrown." Tossing the paper in his hands aside, he rose to his feet, nearly towering over his friend. Ashton wouldn't admit to his subordinate, but he'd already thought the situation over. If the council were

It was by far the coldest day in heaven that year, the first snowfall they'd had in centuries. A boy no older than eight was trampling through the fresh powder. "Matt, did you see that!" he called out excitedly to the nearby guard who only gave him asoft chuckle. The boy had built a poor excuse for a snowman, but he was happy nonetheless. He had been training day in and day out since he had turned four. The boy's father pressuring him into a life of royalty and responsibility. "Ashton, be careful not to fall." The guard chuckled, hiscoal-black hair falling just in front of hazel eyes. The little boy shook off beads of snow that clung to his silvery white hair, now messy and wet.
