There's this unexplainable pain in my chest. A pain that began as soon as I saw the look of hurt in Alanna's eyes. She probably doesn't want to have anything to do with me again. I know this because for the past six days, she has been avoiding me. I shouldn't feel so bitter about it, right? But, I'm miserable.There's one part of me that enjoys her company and I can't admit it to her face.These past few nights, my nightmares seem to have worsened and everytime I close my eyes, the nightmares begin. Then, I awake in cold sweat few minutes later. I feel like a zombie. Who am I kidding?I've felt that way for years.I open my eyes, wincing when I'm met with the sight of the winter morning sky. Usually, I never get to sleep till dawn but today, I seem to have slept past dawn. The next thing I notice is how hot my room is. My skin is soaked with sweat and my breathing is laboured. I push myself to a sitting pos

ALANNA A smile curves my lips as I make my way towards Zeron's chamber. Yesterday had felt like something out of a daydream but it had really happened. Zeron had allowed me to lull him to sleep. I really hope he doesn't lash out at me today because usually, we move two steps forward and five steps backwards. I should be sick of it all by now but, I know that I have to be more patient. Avoiding him for six days was not really my doing. The queen had insisted that I stayed away from her son because I was bad energy. I raise my fist to knock on the door but is startled by the familiar voice coming from behind me. I quickly turn to face him. "He's not here" Talon says and I frown."Where is he then?" I ask and he shrugs."The garden" he responds and I nod, shooting him a grateful smile. "I never got to thank you for being so brave and freeing me. Thank you" he says and I beam.

ALANNA Wrapping my arms around myself, I gaze down below from the open window of my room. Today seems to be colder than usual; not that I'm complaining. Seven days.There are only seven days left for the bonding ceremony to take place. Strangely enough, Zeron hasn't been avoiding me like he usually does. We don't say much, we only spend time with each other in the garden, in his favorite private spot, in his room and in the library. Yet, neither of us have the courage to talk about our kiss. There's this undeniable tension between us. I can feel it and I know he can feel it too. I close my eyes and let out a sigh when I recall Zeron's dreadful words about the fact that he believes he's dying. God, I hope not.He can't die, not under my watch. The door to my room creaks open and I turn around to see the queen mother as she steps into my room elegantly. She's wearing a black and green floral dress today with her h

ZERON "I'm alive?" I croak, unable to wrap my head around the reason why I'm still alive. I was really going to die; I'd felt it. But how am I still alive right now? "Yes, you're alive" Alanna responds as she pours me a cup of water. I stare at her, not failing to notice the stiffness of her body and the tension resting heavily on her. "I could've sworn that I was dead" I say and she sighs, her teary eyed gaze finally meeting mine."Will you just stop it? You're not dead and that's it" she snaps and I stiffen.Something is wrong, I can feel it. "Here, have some water" Alanna says as she hands me the glass of water with shaky hands.That's the confirmation I need. Something is not right and it has to do with both Alanna and my near death experience. So, I gulp down the water and try to sit up, but my body is too weak for that. This only adds to my growing frustration. I should've died, I just can't

ALANNA With a cheerful smile on my face, I knock on the door of Zeron's chamber with my free hand, a tray containing his breakfast balanced on my other hand. The door creaks open and I walk in, the dark shadows instantly wrapping themselves around me, it tickles though. It feels like they are very comfortable around me and it doesn't feel weird. "Hey" I say to Zeron who is lying on his bed, facing the ceilings. He looks tired but there's a different air around him. He's still a demon and all but, something's changed."I brought you breakfast" I say, leaning closer to press a kiss to his temple. A smile ghosts over his lips and I grin. "Help me up" he rasps and I gently bring him to a sitting position with several pillows behind his back, supporting him. His long hair falls over most part of his face and I smile at how adorable he looks right now.My adorable demon.

ALANNA Flinching at the sound of the door of Zeron's chamber being jerked open, I shakily rise to my feet, anxious about telling my husband the truth about Ervis. But, I'm shocked when the person who steps into the chamber turns out not to be Zeron. "Your highness, thought I'll find you here" Ervis says with a mocking smile on his face. Surely he doesn't know that I'd eavesdropped on his conversation with Lochan, right? "What do you want?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady as I pray and scream internally for Zeron to show up. The last thing I want is to be spelled by this disloyal bastard. He sighs and begins to move around me in circles."You might be the queen of the winter kingdom but you're not my queen. There are many of us out there who despise you . Trust me, there a lot of people who want you dead. Yet, I was willing to spare your life. But, you made everything worse by eavesdropping on my conversation

ALANNA The persistent knocks on the door of Zeron's chamber awakens me from my rather peaceful slumber. Sitting up slowly, I turn to look at Zeron who is still lying beside me, asleep. I get out of bed, careful not to awaken my husband. Then, I pad across the room and swing the door open only to be greeted by the flamboyant sight of the queen mother. Before I can say anything, she's already pushing past me and making her way into the room. Zeron opens his eyes and glares at his mother, the darkness of his eyes making his glare more menacing than usual."Why are you here, mother?" He asks in a very manly morning voice. "What happened to your eyes?" Tiana asks with a frown on her face."Long story short, I'm becoming a lunatic. What're you going to do about that?" He responds with a blank look on his face."You're not a lunatic and you know that, my boy""Oh, so

ALANNA "Mother?""Nah, try again" Tiana drawls with a smirk on her face. "Rohanne" Zeron spits, his eyes darkening with fury.Rohanne barely gives us a chance to process what's really happening before she casts an offensive spell that sends a fiery monster towards me. My eyes widen and I'm too shocked to move. But before the fiery monster is able to get to me, Zeron's shadows swallow it up and it vanishes from sight. Rohanne unfreezes the coven elders and a dozen fire witches storm in, flames licking their arms, ready to be used to do damage."What? Surprised?" Rohanne says, with amusement written all over her face. Zeron clenches his fist, frustrated. Hera and the rest of the coven move forward to stand as a barricade between Rohanne's men and Zeron. Chaos then breaks out in the coven room as both witches engage in combats using their magic."Z, we need to get out of here" I say and he

*Flashback* ZERON "Zeron, I know that I haven't exactly been the best mother lately and I'm so sorry for that-" mother says to me and I narrow my eyes."You're sorry, really? I can't believe I'm hearing this from my mother. Who are you and what did you do to the woman who birthed me?" I say, not liking the air of weariness and defeat that is around my mother."I want you to understand that I am still your mother and I should've done this before now. I couldn't bear the thought of loosing you, Zeron. Throughout the past decades, I'd had hope that you would eventually find your cure. I was ready to do anything to keep you alive but I wasn't happy with the way your were transforming from bad to worse. Then, things escalated to a point where you no longer cared; it scared me, Zeron. I

Falling For The Demon King EPILOGUE
Time flies rather so quickly and as the years go by, I'm grateful that I was gifted the chance to experience true happiness with my husband. It's amazing how much my husband has changed within the past few years. He shows more emotions and when I see him laugh, smile or even cry tears of joy, there's an overwhelming rush of ecstasy that washes over me. Sometimes, his emotions gets shuttered, but that only happens in rare occasions. I can remember, clear as day, what happened the night our first born child was brought into the world of magic. I remember falling into labor while I was in the tea room with Azalea. Our son indeed gave me a tough time during labour, but at exactly midnight, Kyraz was born. Zeron had been by my side all through my labour but as soon as he saw the baby, he took off. I was worried that something was wrong with my baby but Albina assured me that my baby was perfectly fine. Zeron was apparently feeling emotions that were probably t

ZERON Lying in bed with pain coursing through every inch of my body, I close my eyes, trying not to give in to the pain. It's been a while since I felt like this and it's strange how I've almost forgotten what it felt like. I don't know if I'm hurting more because of Alanna's absence or maybe I'm just hurting because I'm really trying hard not to loose control. One slip up and I'll literally become a maniac who wouldn't be able to tell the difference between those who are with him and those who are against him. But now that I think of it, what's the point in holding back?Alanna's gone, probably gone forever and she's not here to keep me sane. I can pretend for as long as I want to but the truth is that I'm loosing control. For all it's worth, with me fully immersed in darkness, Lochan wouldn't stand a chance against me, so why fight the only thing that I have left? Taking a deep breath, I s

ALANNA The tiger gem begins to glow brightly, the palm of my hand barely containing it's radiant light. "How do we use this?" I ask Azalea who quietly takes out a knife. "Here, the tiger gem can only be activated by non-magic users. Your blood just needs to make contact with the gem" she replies, maintaining eye contact with me. "Okay" I breathe and quickly make a cut on my palm. As soon as it begins to bleed, I tighten my injured hand into a fist, positioning it directly above the gem. The gem begins to glow even brighter as soon as my blood makes contact with it. Then, all of a sudden, the whole place begins to turn grey, then white. Finally, we find ourselves standing in a field of Jasmine flowers. Standing few metres away is a very old man with wrinkles on his face and a bald head. Judging from the cloak he's wearing, he must be Azeroth's guardian. He has a grim look on his face and he

ZERON Dread sinks into my heart like the cold blade of a dagger at the thought of Alanna being in grave danger. Could it be that Valdrin had taken my wife with him? Or worse still, had Lochan succeeded in taking her away from me? No, no, this can't be happening. Talon shifts his weight to his left leg, his gaze refusing to meet mine. Now that I think about it, there's an air of uneasiness around him. It's almost as if-- he knows something about Alanna's disappearance. "I want to be alone" I say and the rest of the guards leaves the chamber. Just as Talon starts to leave, I stop him."Talon, I believe we have something to talk about" I say and he stiffens. Slowly, he turns to look at me. "What is going on, Talon?" I demand and he lowers his gaze, an air of remorse around him. This doesn't help with my growing frustration. Now, I'm definitely sure of the fact that he knows somethi

ALANNA Azeroth generally looks like a large swamp with overgrown mangroves. This place is very creepy and even the slightest sound is enough to send shivers down my spine."Are we really in the right plane? This place looks like a swamp to me" Azalea says as she draws out her sword."We don't know what to expect around here, so we have to be careful" I say as I unsheathe Zeron's sword. It is a bronze colored sword with a jeweled silver handle. I've only seen him with the sword a few times and I'd taken it with me in case I needed to defend myself. "Come on, let's get going" Azalea says and I frown."How do we know where the seal is, exactly? We just can't go walking around until nightfall" I say and Azalea smiles."You don't have to worry about that" "What do you mean? Do you have a map with you or something" I ask and she takes out a piece of paper from her bag. Then she unfolds

ALANNA "What's going on?" I ask Azalea the next morning, seeing as the palace seems to have been thrown into confusion. "Zylon was poisoned. He was found dead in his cell this morning" she responds."Poisoned? What's really going on? Queen Tiana lost her life, then Taera was murdered, now this?" I say and Azalea sighs."I think whoever poisoned Zylon didn't want him to let anyone know who the real culprit is" "But the coven elders can still figure it out by using a spell, right?" I ask and she nods. "We need to leave the palace by tonight. Since Azeroth is a different plane, it would be daytime over there by the time it's nightfall over here" Azalea says. "How are we supposed to leave the palace without alerting Zeron or any of the guards?" I ask."You have to be careful enough not to wake Zeron up when you get out of bed. Also, there's a secret passage in the library

ZERON Alanna is hiding something from me and I don't know what it is, but I'm certain that she has decided to keep it to herself. Maybe it's because of the way I'd reacted when I'd found out that she knew about Lochan sharing my life force with me. I'm trying not to get upset about the fact that she doesn't trust me enough to confide in me but I'm failing miserably. I can only hide the hurt and frustration I feel with a blank face, with the hope that Alanna won't see right through it. Who am I kidding?I'm a hypocrite. I've been hiding things from her too.I just hope she doesn't do anything stupid."Zeron?" I blink and turn away from the window of my chamber."Are you alright?" Talon asks but I don't respond. "You know, all you have to do is respond" He huffs and I walk away from him and sit down on the couch. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?" I ask and he sighs."

ALANNA "We need to act quickly, Alanna. If he finds out-" Azalea begins but is interrupted by an all too familiar voice that belongs to my husband. "Find out what?" He asks and we all freeze.Just how much did he hear?"Z?" I say but he just stares at me blankly."Um, how long have you been standing there?" I ask and he blinks."I just got here but that doesn't matter anyway. What are the three of you hiding from me?"Now at this point, I have no idea what to do. Do I lie to him or do I tell him the dreadful truth? With his face all blank and expressionless, it's hard to tell if he'd lied. What if he'd actually overhead everything and is counting on me not to lie to his face? But still, what if he's telling the truth?"Has all of you suddenly become dumb?" Zeron asks, placing the bowl of winter berries

HERA Humming under my breath, I take my time to water the emerald gold flowers in the coven room. They are ordinarily called the peace and well being flowers and they're the ones partly responsible for keeping war away from our kingdom for quite a long time now. I halt at the presence of prince Talon's aura approaching the coven room. Few minutes later, he knocks on the door and I open it up with a snap of my fingers. He gives me a polite smile and walks up to me. I can tell by reading his energy, that he's deeply troubled about something but he's doing a good job at covering whatever it is with several layers."Good day, Hera" he greets and I give him a smile."Good day, young prince" I say and he looks around the coven room."The peace flowers don't look as healthy as they looked before" he comments and I sigh."It appears so""You know what this means, right?" He says and I
