The next day, Nadir woke up in the early morning. The sun was breaking through the slits in the louvers, filling the entire living room with its rays.

- I don't think I'll ever get used to it.- she said to herself, rubbing eyes lightly with her hand.

After all, Nadir had spent all her life in the Underworld, and to feed she would always go out at night, returning before sunrise, so she was not used to it, and the sun's rays striking her eyes were not pleasant. Nadir got up and pulled the blinds all the way down, then folded the couch she slept on and stowed the sheets in it.

While still in her nightgown, Nadir looked into Miguel's bedroom. He was lying almost on the edge of the bed, the duvet was on the floor, so she smiled and walked softly inside. Nadir picked up the duvet and laid it on the bed, covering Miguel tightly with it, then looked at him for a while, lightly touching his hair, but soon slipped out of the room. Nadir wasn't going to wake him, not least beca

    The next day Nadir was awakened by the sun's rays again, and she still couldn't get used to it. It was eight in the morning, which meant Miguel had been in the office for an hour, but he had left a note for her on the kitchen table, and also a full breakfast. How kind of him that was. Nadir knew Miguel was a great man. Nadir wanted to repay him for it, but she also knew what would make him happy, and that was out of the question. She couldn't get any closer to him because it would weaken him too much. The kiss itself was dangerous, let alone something more than that. They could only hug each other or hold hands at most. The sad truth made her sigh. Nadir also wanted to be as close to Miguel as possible, to give him the love he so needed and surely deserved... But how could she do that without hurting him? Was there a way to do this? She would do anything to answer these questions someday.Finally Nadir broke her thoughts and started getting dressed, had breakfast, and went out

    Nadir woke up in the morning terribly confused. She felt as if was drunk, except not with alcohol, but life energy. The last time Nadir felt something like this was when she was still a young succubus and out of greed was able to kill her victims, depriving them of all life energy. Miguel was sleeping right next to, visibly weakened, which made her add two and two.- What have I done yesterday...- Nadir whispered, terrified. Immediately the images from the previous evening started coming back to her. It was the best and worst night of her life at the same time. Nadir remembered feeling wonderful, but as she looked at Miguel now and watched his horribly weak aura, she felt terrible.Then she looked at the bedside table. The clock was already showing 9 am, so Nadir called Miguel's office to explain his absence. Her voice was as charming as her looks, so his boss immediately believed her, then Nadir called the bar where she worked, and it went smoothly there as well. Nadir kn

    Another week passed quickly. During that time, it turned out that Miguel's blood tests didn't show anything disturbing. According to the doctor, he was completely healthy, but it did not rule out that the reason for his weakness could be stress and overwork, or that it was generally more psychological in nature. Nadir still felt a great deal of guilt for lying to Miguel, but telling him the truth was out of the question - it was hard to tell how would he react to the news that his beloved was a demon and Nadir didn't want to lose him.Maria and Juan were to get married on April 26 at 12:30. Nadir and Miguel had already arrived at the church at 12 and were seated in the third pew. Nadir attracted a lot of attention, not only with a beautiful, blue dress that lied perfectly on her body, but also with the grace of movements, a beautiful smile and, above all, remarkable beauty. She heard jealousy in the minds of the gathered women, and delight in men's. Nadir had to admit that she

    Nathaniel had skipped following Nadir at the wedding party because he couldn't possibly endure such excess of happiness and other good feelings. There were enough of them at the wedding itself, not counting the weakness he felt after being in such a sacred place as the church for so long. If, after such torment, Nathaniel were to be at a wedding party as well, certainly would not be able to remain invisible, and he could not show himself to anyone, after all, he was a stranger to these people. However, after the party ended, Nathaniel immediately followed Nadir and Miguel as they walked out of the house. Of course, he had to be extra careful, because weakened by his earlier stay in the church, he could not mask his aura so well now. Nathaniel even thought he had acted foolishly to stay in the church the entire ceremony. He should have stood outside and waited for Nadir to leave instead. Unfortunately, Nathaniel liked challenges, especially if they had anything to do with his main en

    Nathaniel felt he had collected sufficient evidence against Nadir. Therefore, when he went to the Underworld to regain his strength, he no longer came to the surface, but immediately to the palace to report everything to Samael.- So what information do you bring me?- asked Samael, seeing his subject.- Nadir is on the surface, and she is there with the mortal man.- Nathaniel began talking.- But this is not the end of the revelation. Our demoness apparently wants to settle there permanently, since Nadir found a job in some bar, lives with this mortal man, to whom she clearly feels something, and begins to feel human emotions and feelings, she is moved, cries...- he finished.- What? But these are the symptoms of a transformation into a mortal!- Samael shouted.- In the end she will lose her supernatural abilities, longevity and...- he paused.- We have to get her out of there right now!- Samael added, a bit panicked.- Of course, my lord.- Nathaniel bowed.- I even

    After the car accident and meeting with Nathaniel, the Fallen Angel, sent from the Underworld by Samael himself on a mission to bring Nadir back, Miguel and her returned home and went to bed almost immediately. Nadir thought all night about what to do. It was safest to just stop resisting and come back, but she didn't want to give up without a fight, so decided she would resist as long as possible. After all, that's what Nadir has been doing for a longer time, isn't it? She resisted Samael's orders and was doing quite well. The easiest way to defeat Samael was to report on him to Lilith, but Nadir couldn't risk that her "mother" would find out what connected her and Miguel, and that Nadir had no intention of returning to the Underworld. Lilith would certainly punish her for such disobedience, though perhaps less severely than Samael. For Miguel, however, the result would be the same - he would be killed by both Samael and Lilith. Overall, Nadir could not come to anyone in the Underw

    Maria was making breakfast for herself and Juan, and was just taking plates out of the cupboard when her eyes fogged up. A picture of some unknown man torturing Miguel flashed before her eyes. The presence of washbasins and cubicles made her believe that this was happening in the toilet, probably in the office, because Miguel was wearing the same gray suit he always wore to work. Seeing the pain in his eyes, Maria felt as if it was real. She even felt his feelings and emotions, even though was far away from him. The plates in her hand fell limp to the ground, breaking into tiny pieces.Juan burst into the kitchen, hearing the clink of porcelain. Seeing his wife's blurry, distant eyes, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her.- Mari, can you hear me?- he said as she finally blinked her eyes.- Juan... Call the office, the one where Miguel works. Quickly, he is in great danger. Deadly danger.- Maria spoke up hastily, panic growing in her eyes.Juan, seeing the terro

    Juan and Maria visited Miguel in the hospital the same day the attack happened, but unfortunately he was unconscious after a heavy operation. Miguel had almost all of his body covered with bandages, and had a cast on his left arm, right hand, ribs, and left leg.- Oh my God, what did they do to him.- Juan spoke up, walking into the room and looking at his friend from head to toe.- Not them...- said Maria.- I saw only one man.- she added confidently.- That's impossible... Miguel could easily handle one attacker, he's tough and always was good at fighting, especially in self-defense.- Juan replied incredulously.- One man, yes, he could handle...- Maria sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed.- Do you mean it wasn't a human? A person who attacked him?- Juan asked, walking up to her and giving a questioning look.- It was certainly not a human, but what exactly? I do not know. All I know is that this thing has something to do with Nadir, only it is more

    Juan and Miguel went out together for a beer at their favorite bar on the weekend. They talked about everything that had happened in the past month, how their world had just turned upside down. What once seemed impossible to them happened right before their eyes.- You know what, Juan? I still can't believe what happened to us.- Miguel said, taking a long sip of beer from his mug.- You know it. I think everyone would feel weird being in our shoes.- Juan agreed fully with him.- I want to ask you for some advice... I'm going to propose to Nadir, but I don't know if I chose the right ring.- Miguel said, changing the subject and opening a small box before his friend's eyes.- It's very lovely. In my opinion, Nadir will be delighted. Besides, you two love each other like crazy, so such things doesn't really matter.- Juan replied, looking at the ring with the diamond neatly cut into the shape of a heart.- Have you noticed this interesting situation?- he asked, lookin

    When he finally released her from his embrace, convinced that she was absolutely real, Miguel stood in the doorway, staring at Nadir in constant disbelief.- So how is it gonna be? Will you let me in?- she asked, smiling at him.- Of course, come in.- Miguel replied hastily, inviting her inside.- So you came back finally...- he added, hugging his beloved one more time.- I had no other choice when I found out you are alive.- Nadir said with a broad smile.- Tell me exactly what happened when we lost contact with you during the ritual.- Miguel sat down on the couch with Nadir, looking at her expectantly.- Well...- Nadir began her story.- First of all, you lost contact with me because I turned into a Fallen Angel and you asked for contact with a succubus. Then I wanted to tear Samael apart for this story with you, but Lilith suddenly appeared...- she paused, but soon started talking again.- And she told me who I really am, just the daughter of Lilith and Luci

    Lilith said about the decision of Nadir to Lucifer when she visited him the next day. He, of course, did not hide his dissatisfaction, but just as Lilith, Lucifer could not do anything about it, after all, their child was generally more powerful than any of them, so they had to respect her choice. Hybrids like Nadir were rarely born, and it was hard to tell what would grow out of them.The truth was that Lilith could easily create new succubus and incubus, but getting really pregnant was a miracle, since she was banished from Paradise by God and therefore didn't got the life-giving privilege that Adam's later wife, Eve, had. That is why Lilith was very happy when, after many trials with Lucifer, she finally somehow managed to get pregnant and give birth to an absolutely healthy Nadir. Of course, she had a lot of the succubus in her, for after all, Lilith creations were made in her image, but there was also an element of Lucifer's power in Nadir, which made her very special and

    At the same time as Maria, Juan, and Miguel were performing a ritual to seek her out from the Underworld and try to contact, Nadir was already with Samael, in one of the palace's bedrooms.- You came to me at last, what a good girl. And what was the point in resisting for so long? You will not regret your decision, I will take care of you properly. Soon you will be screaming my name in ecstasy.- he greeted her, smiling triumphantly.- Ok, whatever. Let's get it over with.- Nadir spoke up, looking at him with resigned eyes. His words clearly didn't make any impression on her, she just wanted them to get down to business so she would be able to go back to her cave as soon as possible.- Of course, my lady.- Samael replied, taking her hand gently and leading deeper into the bedroom. There he kissed her first on the lips, then began to descend over her neck and shoulders, wrapping his arms around waist and bringing Nadir closer to him. Samael hands greedily explored her b

    Samael was happier than usual that day. The message he had received from Nathaniel really pleased him. In the end he got everything his way, exactly as he wanted - Nadir will succumb to him. For someone with so much confidence, this was not a great surprise. From the very first moment Samael felt that Nadir was going to be a difficult journey, but he also knew that she would eventually succumb to him, it couldn't have ended otherwise. And no matter that for that to happen, some human had to die, so Nadir would lose her meaning in life and willingness to resist along with it - after all, any measure was useful, if it worked in the end - that was Samael's opinion.Lilith, on the other hand, was boiling with anger to see him in such a bubbly mood, especially since Samael was blocking his thoughts from her and she could not read the reason for this sudden joy. In some ways, Lilith was very much like Samael - she hated it too when things were not going as she intended, sometimes was
