Irinira POVI made myself invisible as soon as the Alpha barged in on our intimate time. I was disappointed that I couldn't spend more time with Theo.I was acting like I wanted to go, but in reality, I had no intention of leaving him.I stayed in the shadows so I could overhear their conversation. I wanted to make sure he was safe. What if that Alpha was here to punish Theo? I didn't want him to be hurt because I was careless.I heard the Alpha say he wanted to get rid of me. It was nothing new. I knew I did not belong here, and it was almost time for me to go. The pull from this earth was not as strong as the pull I felt from my demon world. I was weaker here. I was on edge.If Analyn attacked me and tried to send me back using her fae spells next time, I won't be able to make it.But I felt a flutter in my stomach when I heard Theo say he wanted me to stay with him. The sincerity in his voice made me want to try harder not to leave. Maybe I'll go to Analyn and beg for her forgivene
Irinira POVDemons don't fall in love.I thought as I stared at the fae in front of me. She had these utterly ridiculous words coming out of her mouth, and I didn't know what to say.So I laughed."I'm not in love with Theo. You are wrong," I nearly whispered after I got done laughing.Analyn shrugged. "Yeah? What else would you call it? Chemical imbalance? Do demons have chemical imbalances like people? I know you bleed, but are you really alive?""I...I don't know." My head was cloudy with confusion. "But please, let me stay here a little bit longer. I promise I will leave eventually and I won't harm anyone. I just want a little more time with Theo."Ana went quiet and furrowed her eyebrows. She looked like she was considering it."Alright," she said after a while. "I will let you stay. But keep away from my children until I can fully trust you.""What about the alpha?" I asked."I will try to reason with Ambrose. He may not listen at first, but he loves me. So if I explain some thi
Ambrose POVI squinted at Anna, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with her.When I pulled her away from Irinira after their fight, she woke up shortly and was frantic. She was crying hysterically about how Irinira was trying to hurt our children.She was angry and wanted to destroy her immediately, even though Theo seemed to be attached to his demon girl.And now, she wanted her to stay? Is this woman bipolar or what?"What are you talking about, Ana? You said she was dangerous!" I exclaimed."I thought so too. Just hear me out, okay? I had a long talk with her and she doesn't seem all that bad," Ana said."She doesn't seem all that bad! She is a fucking demon for crying out loud. And not to mention a succubus. You know damn well what Succubi are capable of. After she is done with Theo, she could come after us next." I frowned. "No, she is not like that," Ana protested."How would you know that?" I challenged."My instinct has gotten stronger over the year. I can sense evi
Theodore POVIrinira disappeared on me again, so I decided not to look for her. I knew she would come to my dream or appear out of nowhere like she always does anyway, so there was no point in chasing her down.All I needed to do was to focus on convincing Ambrose and Ana to make her stay.After I realized I was in love with her, there was no way I could let her go now. I have been lonely and miserable, feeling unwanted and being with her made me happy. I wanted to stay that way.I headed to the place where we usually hold meetings. I knew Ambrose wanted us to gather around there today so he could talk to us about the drider. We needed another game plan to defeat him.Perhaps, I will ask him about Irinira again.Only Logan was there. No Ambrose in sight."Hey, dude. Have you seen Ambrose yet?" I asked him."He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago," Logan said. He looked irritated."Well, I guess I'll go look for him. I shrugged.Logan narrowed his eyes. What the fuck have you been
Irinira POV"Don't listen to her, Theo! She is not me!" Rage flooded my system as I realized the creature I'd been approached by had stolen my face. Shifting forms was as natural as breathing for a demon of my type. Sex demons fed on desire specifically so we all had to accept our natural forms weren't the best for gaining us food. I'd never cared if another used my form for feeding.Until this THING stole my face to try to hurt Theo---Theodore was not anyone's food except mine! He was mine! Concentrating on the enemy, I locked onto his thoughts only to realize I couldn't read more than his emotions. I wasn't concerned with having the upperhand through mind-reading though.I wanted to control his emotions---his desire. My father was Lust incarnate; I was his daughter. I was not going to let some imposter steal from me or the one I'd come to love! Love? I realized I was coming to accept the idea of loving Theodore even if it wasn't in my nature. Demons were more than hunger. We c
Analyn POV "So you will let her stay?" I asked, after Ambrose told me what happened with Irinira and the drider. I thought the drider was gone for good since it has been months since we saw the creature, but it looks like it was not the case. "For now. She fought the drider for us. Well, mainly for Theodore, but still." Ambrose nodded. "So I was right about her, after all." I smirked. "Oh, how I love it when I'm right!"Ambrose wrinkled his nose. "Don't get carried away. There might still be a chance of her turning on us. We have to be very careful.""But I was right about her caring about Theodore," I pushed him. "Yes," Ambrose said. "Then say it. Say, Ana, you were right." I grinned. Ambrose groaned. "For fuck's sake, Ana. You were right. Are you happy now?"I smiled widely and nodded my head. "How did she drive the drider away?" I asked and looked at him curiously. Last time, Ambrose and I had to use electric bolts, fire, all kinds of other tricks to get him to calm down but
Theodore POV"Maybe it's time that I leave," Irinira said."Leave? You are not going anywhere," I declared. This girl must be crazy if she thinks I would let her leave me after all we've been through."But all I'm doing is causing more trouble for you. I bet things were much easier when I wasn't in your life," she said."Easy?' I chuckled. Life here was never easy around here. "I was miserable before you came here. If anything, you make it more exciting."I looked at her naked form. She was stretched out on my bed with her hair sprawled across her face and chest. She was weak, so she couldn't sit up for too long.So beautiful...I thought to myself."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked."Looking like what?" I feigned ignorance."Like you want it to eat me?"It sounded more like a question than a statement. I grinned. Am I making this sex demon feel nervous? Didn't think that was possible. "Maybe I do want to eat you," I winked."That's my job, isn't it?" she giggled."Maybe
Theodore POVSeven months later..."I told you marrying a demon wasn't a great idea!" Ambrose chuckled and shook his head."I didn't come here to get criticized or scolded," I barked. I got together with the guys so I could get away from Irinira for a while. Things hadn't been exactly rainbows and sunshines since we got together."I am not scolding you. All I am saying is every action has consequences. You chose to mate with a succubus and not only that, planted your...you know what inside her. And now she is carrying a child that will likely end our species or something." Ambrose said, but he didn't look all that worried about it. Instead, his lips curled into an amused smile as if the doom of our kind was one big joke.Irinira got pregnant almost immediately after the night we spent after the fight. The drider didn't attack us, but we kept our eyes peeled for him. He could be walking around among us, and we wouldn't even know like before. He made us suspicious of everyone or everyth
