The Demon's Mate The encounter
The city lights blazed, and the laughter of the people roared. This night was unlike any other; it was the best yet for humans and vampires alike. Mostly for the humans, though. Finally, they would not be threatened by the bloody vampires anymore as their one and only queen, Esteria, was about to marry the vampire crown prince in just a few minutes. People rolled in and out of the hall, chattering loudly. Both humans and vampires mingled, something rarer than a rainbow. The grand hall awakened from its slumber as the soft glow of dawn's light danced across its majestic facade. The air was alive with anticipation, heavy with the scent of blooming flowers and the promise of new beginnings. Crystal chandeliers, like diamonds suspended from the heavens, refracted rainbow hues across the polished marble floor. Candles, slender and white as frosty mornings, stood sentinel on consoles and pedestals, their gentle flames casting a warm, golden light upon the assembly. Floral arrangements,

Esteria's heart pounded as the ink from the god's signature dried on the bloodstained contract. The weight of the deal she had just made pressed heavily on her chest. She looked up at the god of demons, whose electrifying blue eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that was both terrifying and mesmerizing. She could barely comprehend the enormity of what she had just committed to.In one swift, fluid motion, he unfurled a massive black wing from his back, the feathers gleaming with an almost otherworldly sheen. Without a word, he scooped her up into his powerful arms, and with a mighty beat of his wings, they soared into the night sky.Esteria's breath caught in her throat as the ground fell away beneath them. Tears streamed down her face, mingling with the wind that whipped through her hair and the remnants of her wedding dress. She clung to the god's robes, her fingers digging into the fabric as if it were the only solid thing left in her world. Each beat of his wings seemed to ech

Esteria's eyes gently fluttered open. Her body was still weak and a little numb. Her gaze danced around the room. It was the same room the Demon God had brought her to. She immediately felt an aura in the room. She turned her head to meet him. His electrifying blue eyes looked at her sharply. His long white hair fell on his shoulder, making him look irresistible. He then placed his hands on her gently. She instantly shivered as his cold, large hands touched her. She immediately withdrew her hands from his, making his gaze harden a little. "Are you aware you are now stuck with me?" His voice was cold and alluring at the same time. She could only stare at him and swallow. "So, you better get used to me," he added. "But... you are a demon," Esteria managed to say. The two were on the large bed with a little distance between them. "I am El-Kharis and also not an ordinary demon. I am a Demon God of Thunder, Esteria," he said, dragging out the last word. "But demons are dead," she s

She then fainted after her body went through the sharp pain. The bite was unlike anything she had ever experienced, a searing agony that radiated from her neck throughout her entire being. El-Kharis had sunk his fangs into her delicate skin, piercing through to inject his essence. The initial sting gave way to a burning sensation, her veins feeling like they were set aflame, and then, abruptly, a cold numbness spread. Her vision blurred, darkness enveloping her consciousness until she succumbed to the overwhelming torment.As she fell asleep, El-Kharis caught her limp body and carefully cradled her in his arms. His expression softened momentarily as he looked at her unconscious form, then with swift, fluid movements, he carried her back to the room. He laid her gently on the bed, arranging the blankets around her to ensure she was comfortable.He stared at the mating mark on her neck and smirked. The mark was distinct, a deep crimson imprint of his fangs surrounded by faint traces of

Esteria sat on her bed, her body still tingling from the intimate moment they had just shared. Every single touch from him lingered on her skin, leaving her breathless. She was truly wet down there, a sensation her body was not yet accustomed to. Vincent had never gone this far with her. The only things he ever did were butterfly kisses, gentle pecks, or a soft kiss on her forehead. They had never gone to such extremes, and she had never held his... But this god made her wet by just looking at him, standing there with only a towel on. She could still vividly remember how his hard, monstrous length felt against her. So big, long, and hard—something she had only ever felt with her legs. She sighed and let her back sink into the bed. This was just the beginning. She had pledged her whole body to him and him alone, not merely because of the deal but also because of the powerful mating bond that tied them together. Although she knew little about demons and demon gods, she understood the

"Training?" Esteria's heart jumped to her mouth. She was not prepared! She had just arrived in this world yesterday, and so much had happened: first, she got mated to him; next, she had an intense moment with him; and now, training—all in less than 48 hours?"Yes, and it begins NOW," he repeated, making the "now" louder."Training?" One of the men suddenly flared up. Esteria turned to see it was the demon who had brought her here."I thought she was only your mistress. Why would a human like her train with us? Lord El, she is a human!" he exclaimed, confused about why his boss would suddenly bring a human into their midst and say she would train with them."Shut up, Levy. I don't think she has our scent, even if it's a little different," another voice among the four demons was heard."No, you shut up! Lord El must have probably rubbed his scent all over her," Levy grunted back.El-Kharis watched as his men shouted at each other, debating whether she was human or should train with them

Esteria was walked back to her room with Levy and Adrian escorting her. Levy kept his distance, wearing a grave expression and acting cold, but Adrian was the opposite. At first, he acted cold, but the ice melted away."Woah, I can't believe I'm seeing a human-demon. What kind of combination are you? Half-demon, vampire, or what?" Adrian kept going, his fiery red hair flying back and forth, his green eyes gleaming with excitement."I honestly don't know, and to begin with, I'm not fully human," Esteria spoke up suddenly. She had wanted to keep her space like Levy, but Adrian made it impossible."Huh? What do you mean?" Adrian asked, curious."I'm a human orb," she said simply."Human orb? What's that?" he asked again."I don't really know. My father told me days before my wedding, and I came here after that," she said."Has this place always been quiet?" Esteria asked, changing the subject."Yes, after the war," Adrian's face darkened, and he paused for a moment before moving again."

As the night deepened, the intensity of Esteria's training session finally subsided. El-Kharis, ever watchful, escorted her back to her quarters, his presence a comforting shadow at her side. He exchanged a brief nod with the head maid, who curtsied with grace, acknowledging the silent command to take over from here.Once inside, Esteria's muscles ached with the residue of exertion. Her body felt heavier than usual, every movement a reminder of the grueling session she had just endured. The maids approached her with practiced ease, their hands gentle yet efficient as they began to undress her. The layers of clothing, which had clung to her sweat-slicked skin, were peeled away one by one, revealing the pale, almost translucent surface beneath. Her skin shimmered in the dim light, like moonlight on fresh snow, a testament to her ethereal beauty.The maids led her to the adjacent room, where a large marble bath awaited her. The room was filled with the soft glow of candlelight, casting f

The Demon's Mate shattered resolve
The grand dining hall, once a place of comfort and camaraderie, now felt cold and heavy with unspoken tension. El-Kharis, Esteria, Adrian, and Rowland sat around the large, polished oak table, their meal untouched as their minds grappled with the weight of recent events. The quiet murmur of their conversation was abruptly shattered when Lilith burst through the doors.Her usual calm demeanor was replaced by a tense urgency. The shadows cast by the flickering candlelight accentuated the severity of her expression, and her eyes, normally so composed, now held a storm of emotions."El-Kharis!" Lilith's voice cut through the silence, her tone a sharp contrast to the serene atmosphere that had filled the room moments before. "Levy is dead."The words hung in the air like a dark cloud, and for a moment, it was as if time itself had stopped. El-Kharis's face went from a controlled mask of concern to a blazing inferno of rage. His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles turning white. The room
The Demon's Mate The cloacked shadow
The chamber was dimly lit, the air thick with an unsettling silence that hung like a shroud over the gathered assembly. A heavy book lay open on the table, its pages empty, yet it seemed to pulse with a hidden power, as if waiting for the right moment to reveal its secrets. Around the book stood a group of figures, their faces obscured by the darkness that clung to the corners of the room. Each of them carried the weight of their master's will, and none dared speak as they awaited the signal.Elijah was the first to stir. He was a dangerous-looking man with an aura that spoke of countless battles survived and a soul steeped in darkness. His eyes gleamed with a predatory light, the kind that came from years of hunting and being hunted in return. A jagged scar ran from his left temple down to his jaw, a mark of some long-forgotten battle, but it only added to his menacing appearance. His black armor, etched with ancient runes, seemed to drink in the light around him, casting his figure
The Demon's Mate Inferno of desire
[ warning mature content]Strictly R-18El-Kharis's eyes smoldered with a dark, irresistible desire as his voice, rough and commanding, broke the silence. "Now, it's your turn to pleasure me."Esteria's heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. She was eager to reciprocate the intense pleasure El-Kharis had given her but felt an overwhelming pressure to perform perfectly. She took a deep breath, her eyes darting over his powerful, muscular frame as he lay sprawled on the bed, his erection standing tall and firm, throbbing with need.With trembling fingers, she reached out to him, her touch tentative at first. As her hand made contact, El-Kharis's body shivered, a low, throaty groan escaping his lips. The heat radiating from him was almost overwhelming, and Esteria could feel the hardness of his desire through her palm. She wrapped her fingers around his length, feeling the heat and the pulsating throb beneath her touch.Her strokes were slow and deliberate at first, te
The Demon's Mate Possesive hunger
[Warning mature content]Kharis's gaze was molten with desire, an unmistakable hunger simmering beneath his calm exterior. With a swift yet gentle motion, he swept Esteria into his arms, carrying her across the room. The solid wall greeted her back with a cold shiver, but the heat between them quickly turned it into nothing more than a fleeting sensation. His strong arms pinned her in place, his body a cage of warmth and power that left her breathless.The world outside this moment faded, leaving only the two of them, their breathing the only sound in the quiet room. El-Kharis's fingers brushed across her skin, deliberately slow as he began to undress her. The fabric fell away with a soft whisper, exposing her to his hungry gaze. His touch was firm yet gentle, a contrast that made her pulse quicken, the anticipation a sweet torture.As the last barrier fell away, he pressed his lips against the curve of her neck, a trail of heat following where his mouth traveled. He took his time, sa
The Demon's Mate Memories
The night air was thick with a palpable tension, the stillness of the room punctuated only by the soft sounds of their breathing as Esteria rested against El-Kharis's chest. His cool, steady heartbeat was a soothing rhythm beneath her ear, and his fingers lazily combed through her dark hair, each gentle stroke lulling her into a sense of calm she hadn't realized she craved. Despite the intimacy of the moment, a nagging unease gnawed at the edges of her consciousness, a whisper from the past that she couldn't quite shake."How was your training today?" El-Kharis asked, his voice a deep murmur that rumbled through his chest, vibrating against her cheek."It was... challenging," Esteria replied, her voice quiet, almost detached. Her mind was elsewhere, adrift in memories she had long tried to bury. "But I managed."He hummed in response, a sound of approval, but said nothing more. The silence that followed was comfortable, yet heavy, as if both were lost in their own thoughts, reluctant
The Demon's Mate Silent whispers
Esteria's heart thudded in her chest as she stared into El-Kharis's eyes, the intensity of his gaze pulling her in like a riptide. The room seemed to shrink, the space between them charged with a tension that made the air itself feel thick. She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks, the warmth of her recent shower doing little to combat the coolness radiating from him."You're back," she finally managed, her voice barely above a whisper.El-Kharis tilted his head slightly, his enigmatic smile never wavering. "I never left, not really," he murmured, his voice a soft caress in the quiet of the room. He moved closer, his presence overwhelming, and Esteria felt the familiar, intoxicating pull that always accompanied his nearness.For a moment, neither of them spoke. The only sound was the quiet rhythm of their breathing, the tension between them growing thicker with each passing second. Esteria's gaze flicked down to his lips, a sudden, fierce longing surging within her. She wanted to
The Demon's Mate Shadows of home
Esteria awoke with the first rays of dawn spilling through the thin curtains of her room, feeling the weight of the previous day's events resting heavily on her. The darkness she had mastered with Lilith's guidance was both a blessing and a burden, a power she could not afford to ignore. But today, her thoughts were elsewhere—on completing her training and finally returning home. The longing to leave this place and resume her lessons with El-Kharis had grown stronger, but it wasn't just the lessons she missed. The thought of El-Kharis brought an unexpected warmth to her chest, something more than mere anticipation for training.She sat up, glancing around her room. The maids were absent, but a gown had been neatly placed on the stand beside her bed. For once, she decided to dress herself, without the help of the maids who were always so precise and swift. The task proved more cumbersome than she had expected; the delicate fabric and intricate laces tested her patience. It took her lon
The Demon's Mate Unveiling the shadows
Esteria awoke with a start, the remnants of her dreams fading into the quiet of the chamber. The soft light of dawn filtered through the heavy curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. She blinked, feeling the residual ache in her limbs from the previous night's training. As she stirred, her eyes fell on a familiar figure seated by her bedside.Lilith."Good morning," Lilith greeted, her voice smooth and almost soothing in its low timbre. There was a certain intensity in her gaze, as if she had been watching over Esteria the entire night.Esteria sat up slowly, wincing slightly at the stiffness in her muscles. Lilith's presence, though comforting in a strange way, was also a reminder of the grueling night before. She had delved deep into the darkness within her, guided by Lilith's relentless yet nurturing hand."How are you feeling?" Lilith asked, her tone laced with genuine concern."Sore," Esteria admitted, managing a small smile. "But I feel... different. Stronger.""Good,"
The Demon's Mate Embrace of shadow
Esteria sat up slowly, the lingering heaviness in her limbs making her wince. But she was determined, knowing that the darkness within her needed to be understood, controlled—if she was ever to feel like herself again.Lilith watched her with those sharp, crimson eyes, a hint of both amusement and pride playing across her features. Esteria could sense the power radiating from Lilith, a dangerous yet captivating aura that made her both want to trust and fear her at the same time. Lilith's smile widened as she observed Esteria's resolve."You're stronger than you realize, Esteria," Lilith remarked, her voice silky yet firm. "But strength alone won't help you master the darkness. You must learn to dance with it, to make it your own without letting it consume you."Esteria swallowed hard. "How do we start?"Lilith stood and gestured for Esteria to follow her. They left the chamber, and Esteria was surprised by how stable she felt on her feet, the weakness from before slowly ebbing away. T
