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
22 YEARS LATERKonrad POV"Ask me if I care?" I snorted, rolling my eyes at my brother and sister for being dramatic as always. Who actually cared if we were all there for "family dinner" on Sunday nights? We were twenty-five-years-old now! It's not like we were little kids who needed to go eat all our vegetables to grow up big and strong. Our parents worried too much. In my opinion, my brother and sister worried too much, too. "You should care," my brother Matthew -who I called Matty mostly to annoy him-, snapped, "You realize it hurts their feelings when you don't show up for Sunday Dinner?"They all thought I had "anger issues" which meant I got lectured about using my powers "correctly." Who gets to decide what's the right way for me to use my powers? They were mine! If I wasn't supposed to use them, why was I born with them? Our sister, Valentina, jumped in to agree with him as usual, "You really have to come, Kon! Mom and Dad get so worried when you skip out. They spend th
Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
Sophia POV Is this really happening? Or is this a dream? I wondered as Matthew carried me to his bedroom. Tonight was finally the night I was to be mated to Matthew. I'd been thinking about it all day and let's just say my anxiety level was through the roof! "Don't be scared, Sophia. I won't hurt you. You trust me, don't you?" Matthew said gently. "I do," I whispered. Matthew put me on the floor gently. I felt like his piercing green eyes could look inside my soul and I felt nervous again. But it wasn't because I was scared of him. I could feel the heat between my legs as I watched him take his shirt off. I want him, and I can't even deny it to myself. [Holy hell, this guy is hot. I wonder how his wolf would feel when he buried his cock into you], my wolf cooed inside me, making me redder than a tomato. [Shut up! You will ruin the moment,] I hissed. I wasn't usually lusting over men like this, but for some reason, I could hardly contain myself now. I must be in heat. Matthew
Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc
Sophia POVGosh, I was having a nice quiet time in my room, eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, but of course, I got roped into their sibling bullshit.Again."What's happening?" I mumbled."Konrad and I are going to decide who gets to be with you tonight for your first time, once and for all," Matthew announced."Excuse me? I thought I already told you that it is up to me and not you. I get to decide who will be my first," I put my bowl down and snarled."Well...have you decided?" Konrad asked."No.""Well, there you go. You don't even know how to decide yet. So we are going to settle it. Then you won't have to make any kind of decision," Matthew said, deciding.These Neanderthals are going to be the end of me."And how are you going to settle this, may I ask? And why did you bring me here? We were not supposed to see each other until tonight anyway," I said irritably. All I wanted was to eat my ice cream in peace and read a good book. And maybe take a nice warm bath later. I s
Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that
Callan POVWas she teasing me again?I held my breath as Valentina led me into her room."What are you planning on doing? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Vikander?" I joked.Valentina said nothing. A mysterious smile teased her lips instead, and her green eyes twinkled. Goddamn, she was just so...How did I get so lucky to be in the same room with this gorgeous creature? I didn't even use my Incubus magic on her!That meant she wasn't forced to bring me here. That means she actually likes me."You are awfully quiet. Nervous?" Valentina said and giggled mischievously."Nervous? Me? Don't be silly. I am half incubus. I get girls left and right," I said dismissively. Okay, that came out bad, but it wasn't like I was having sex with them for fun only. I literally needed to have sex to feed myself."That stops now," Valentina's voice was bizarrely melodious, making my head swim."Your sexual conquest stops here," Valentina repeated."No, Val. You don't understand. I need sex to stay stron
Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu
Callan POV 'Life should never be taken too seriously. We only live once, so why not laugh and have fun while we are here?' —I breathed that motto. Because of it, friends had always come easy to me. I was popular. What could I say? I was a fun guy to be around. Even girls flocked me, but mainly because of my appearance. Being half incubus had it's advantages I guess. But honestly, that kind of sucked.I wasn't stupid. I had eyes and knew I wasn't half-bad to look at. I took care of myself, worked out more than once per week, and my mother called me handsome, so I had that going for me.But I wanted to make a connection, and there was only one person I was drawn to. Only one person made my heart perform somersaults, and the same person also made me dumb.Valentina. The only crush I had ever had. My body wanted her while my soul craved her. But she never looked at me the way I wanted her too. It was as if she was immune to my incubus allure. She looked at me like I was one of her br
Sophia POVI watched Valentina as she moved around the battleground. For some reason, she was having a hard time focusing. She looked nervous. She was usually the most enthusiastic one in the battleground!"Where is your head today, Val? You let Patrick beat you twice already!" Matthew barked.Valentina jolted as if Matthew's voice startled her. "I...I don't know. I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night," she murmured.Hmm...something was wrong with her, I could feel it."Valentina, if you are not feeling well, you should go lie down," I said gently.It has been a week since the ordeal with Liz and Callan. Konrad went to the demon world and opened a portal so Callan and Liz could come back. After that, he let Liz escape and told them never to set foot in this territory again.Because if Alpha Ambrose found out, everyone, including Konrad, would be punished for helping. And none of us wanted that.Maybe Valentina is upset about Callan leaving, I thought to myself.They seemed pre
