My Boyfriend Is a Demon 44. Acusation
Julian knows it doesn't do much good, but still, he tries to control Sam's moods:"She's fine. You'll see that we'll be able to get out of here tomorrow anyway.""I don't trust that damned King, nor the supposed safety of this place," he grumbles, looking at the windows and the night sky outside.The two of them were in a large room with two beds, a bookcase crammed with books and other trinkets. Outside, three guards guarded the door, although the demons were in doubt as to whether it was to protect them, or prevent them from leaving.Sam was still exhausted, but he could already walk and talk normally, probably due to his faster recovery."He could have killed Shandra at any time. If he hasn't done that by now, I don't see why he would do it later.""Because he's a cursed fairy with a lot of power? And we're in his territory? Is that not a convincing argument for you?""The human has Aresta blood in her veins. He wouldn't dare. And we've both seen what she's capable of."As soon as
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 45. The Prophecy
The Throne Room was very different at night. The waterfall was still there, beautiful and untouched, but little blue dots glowing like fireflies swirled like petals in the wind.A few butterflies whose wings were very reminiscent of those of the King himself are also circling the trees present. The flowers, fruits and leaves glow surreal.Sam and Julian are standing before the throne, waiting patiently for Solis to finish examining the landscape itself. The monarch's skin was also unusually bright.The guards take their positions, keeping their facial expressions neutral, but it is clear that they are curious about that last-minute summons.Solis finally looks at them. His previously calm and even somewhat arrogant expression is now rigid, serious."Do you guys believe in coincidences?"Neither Julian nor Sam answer. Was that a question to be answered? They didn't know.Solis takes two steps toward them, looking thoughtful and even distressed."Do you think things happen because they
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 46. Goodbye
The way to the portal in and out of the fairy world seemed longer than usual.Shandra could no longer feel enchanted or excited about anything around her. Not even the diverse flora or the fairies of various types and sizes could attract her attention. The young woman's mood was quite affected by the latest events.Beside her, Julian and Sam looked no better. Besides the standard expression of pure boredom with a hint of cynicism, there was something different in their eyes. Shandra might be delirious, but she could swear it could be fear, or even fear.At the head of the trio, equally silent and taciturn, was Oberon. He was not walking at a brisk pace like last time. Instead, he seemed more alert and purposely avoided the busiest streets.Shandra took courage and decided to find out for herself the reason for this. Slowly, she approached the white-haired fairy and huffed."SIm?" he asked."I couldn't help but notice that you're less... receptive today."Oberon just shrugged, not unde
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 47. Bloody Battle
The dark fairies were very beautiful, despite their expressions of hate, madness, hunger, and even fear. The women and men were more athletic, and in addition to their protruding fangs, you could see that instead of nails, they had sharp claws of various colors, such as blue and red.Sam immediately stood next to Shandra, but it was obvious that he was panicking. Due to his recent exhaustion, he could not use his powers; not without putting himself at great risk. Julian remained in demonic form; yellow sparks like embers flew around him.Oberon swallowed hard.In the midst of the fairies, one in particular appeared who seemed to be their leader: she wore heavy armor full of archaic symbols, a closed helmet, and dark boots. Her orange hair was loose, going down to her waist, and a terrible voice sounded in the clearing as the figure put her hands on her waist, triumphant."I have found you at last, Oberon," she said in a grave, menacing voice. "I am Vesper, the Lady of the Dark Kingdom
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 48. The Cave
Shandra had never felt so distressed in her entire life.Even when she went to school and was disrespected by her classmates, or attacked for simply existing, she didn't get so nervous. Deep down, she knew they were just silly teasing and would end with time.The girl was in a small cave to the east, far from the original direction they were supposed to go, but safe enough for them to wait for Julian's return. Sam was leaning against the stony wall, paying attention to the sounds and smells around."Sam," she murmurs for the tenth time in that interval of time.The demon looks at her sternly."Sam, we can't leave the two of you alone there," she argues in a thread of voice.He looks to the horizon again, as if scanning the skies for more enemies and pursuers."By now, the First Scout should have summoned the kingdom's main defense forces. He wouldn't be a fool to try to stop the attack alone.""But-""And I've already said that we're not joining the battle. Gee, Shandra, how pushy you
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 49. The Truth
Small flames begin to appear on and around Sam's back as he takes a step forward. His anger is gone. Instead, his expression is one of confidence, even authority.Shandra is still standing, though dizzy and nauseous, waiting for the response from the demon in front of her. Julian remains motionless, not saying a single word as he listens to the two discuss."I killed."Shandra gasps violently. Sam repeats:"I killed. And I would kill a million more times if I had to."Trembling, the young woman remains in the same place, listening to the words that hit her like poisoned arrows."I have been watching your parents long before I could communicate with you, Shandra. And I'm willing to bet big money that on the day you summoned me, the strong energy of anger, revenge, and resentment was the result of yet another abuse from them. Your father was a drunkard, your mother a conniving good-for-nothing, who would happily watch their destruction. And you know it."His black wings spread behind hi
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 50. The Wolf's Lair
As much as Shandra mentally repeated to herself that the fatigue was temporary, and that at the end of the trip, she would feel better and refreshed, her body did not think so.Besides the fact that they were taking minimal breaks along the way because of the days-long delay that visiting Dew caused in their plans, Shandra learned the hard way that she didn't do well with roots, bushes, and undergrowth in general.When she stumbled for the fourth time that afternoon, the young woman couldn't help but growl in frustration.Looking amused, Julian winked at her:"I think you're spending too much time with us, human.""How much longer until we get there? We've been walking for almost two days now.""We will get there in an hour or so," Sam reassured. "I know you are tired, but when we get there, I will see to it that you are as comfortable as possible."Gasping, the young woman stops for a few seconds to catch her breath, then rejoins the two demons."This Marcus...," mutters Shandra. "Ho
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 51. Marcus
The werewolf looks at the red-haired demon next to Shandra."And you're another ally too? A demon, right? Also exiled?"Julian crosses his arms."Not yet."Marcus laughs."Well, let's see how much time he has left, yet."Then, finally, Marcus faces the young woman, who remains motionless and contemplative as she stares at the creature's strong face and body.Marcus' smile wanes as he smells her. Apparently, then, that would be really recurring."That... I'm sure that's a first," are his words to her.The girl shrugs."My name is Shandra. Hello.""Hello, Shandra. I'm Marcus... But you already knew that." He tilts his head in a sign of curiosity, but doesn't look aggressive. "You... Are you human?""Yes. But I recently discovered a magical heritage.""Sorceress, then. But that doesn't explain the smell of-"The man's eyes widen as he understands the situation, staring at Sam. His expression is not one of happiness."I can't believe you did that."Sam doesn't seem to be shaken in the sli
