Rhea’s POV
Once I changed out of my soaked white shirt and wore a black shirt, I felt confident. After giving a prep talk to myself about resisting the hot guy, I was ready to brave the kitchen again.
Like a soldier marching to war, I walked to the kitchen with determination. But as soon as I saw Adrian setting up the meal on the table, I felt all my resolution flying away in the wind. I felt my shoulders droop in defeat. This guy was going to be the death of me. If the demons didn’t get me first, that is…
When he saw me, he gave a breathtaking smile.
“Lunch is served!” he said with a bow, and I swooned.
I sat down on the chair and glared at Morris who was walking around my chair in circles, waiting around for his share.
Now you remember me?
I ignored him and looked at the meal in front of me. Adrian had arranged the dishes in fancy bowls and plates.
Rhea’s POVThe moment I uttered those words, I wanted to scream at myself for being an idiot and to hit my forehead. I had done it again... Blurting things out before thinking it through. ‘You are not alone anymore. I am here for you’. Seriously?
Rhea’s POVTwenty minutes later, I stood out in the street with Morris in my arms. I was again in an all black ensemble that was my standard badass costume. I looked down at Morris, who was staring at me with an expression that could only be described as alarm.“Listen, buddy. We are going to go spy on some demons. As Mr. Blue eyes had ordered, we have to stay out of trouble. I know it would be boring, but today is not the day to fight. We would just spy on them like Adrian and Artemis want to do. Last time, I had flaunted my presence, and they swarmed to me. But this time, we will try to find them while not getting into their sight. We have to channel our inner James Bond’s. Understood?” I instructed Morris, who was looking at me as if I was crazy. Nothing new there, buddy!“Okay! So we know that the demons like to come out in the dark. It’s dark now, so that is good. The last two ti
Rhea's POV I turned towards Morris with wide eyes. There were at least ten shadow demons in front of me, and I was sure that I couldn't handle more than three or four of them. The sensible option would be to run from them before it becomes too late. The last two times,
Rhea’s POVI walked into the house to find Adrian already there before me, but I didn’t care about being late or getting caught by him after sneaking out. I had more important matters to discuss with him. Like a certain green-eyed feline who trailed after me into the house looking all too innocent. Who would believe that this sweet-looking fur ball had just incinerated six demons? I had seen it with my own eyes and still, I couldn’t believe it.Adrian raised his brows at me as he saw me walk in. But on seeing that I didn’t sport the guilty expression I was supposed to have, he looked confused. He turned to look at Morris who looked all too satisfied with himself and a look of realisation dawned on him.I pointed my finger and shook it at Adrian.“You! You knew it!” I accused him.“Knew what?” he asked in a bored tone, but I was sure that he knew very we
Rhea's POVI looked at Adrian as he sat there looking as cool as a cucumber. I raised my brows at him when he continued sitting silently."I found some shadow demons lurking in an alley and followed them. They didn't go back to their master though, they went to a human who was possessed by another demon. Must have been some higher up demon working under Samael. I didn't get the opportunity to question him though. There were lots of humans around him who couldn't see the shadow demons but would definitely notice it if I tried anything. So, I just noticed the location and came back. I would have to pay him a visit another time," he said finally."That is scary. Those demons could possess humans just like that?" I asked in alarm. "Only a few demons in the higher tier have the power to possess humans, and they generally could possess only humans with weak will," he replied, and I nodded. At least, they wouldn't run around possessing humans like changing dresses. "What exactly happens to
Rhea's POVThe next day, I sat opposite Adrian with mixed feelings. I couldn't decide what I felt about trying to use my powers. On one hand, I wanted to master them and become a powerful badass who could knock demons out like mosquitoes in a snap of my fingers. On t
Rhea's POVI looked at the vast fields in front of me. Though I knew that these were not the same gardens I had dreamed of before, I had the feeling that it was also part of the same world. It had to be, because everything was so green here. Greener than anything on the Earth could ever
Rhea's POVI looked into Adrian's blue eyes. It finally convinced me that I was at his garden on Earth and not at the green fields where I had felt so much despair. Despair that had felt like someone else's and mine at the same time. I couldn't describe the feeling properly even if I tr

Rhea’s POV I sat in my room trying to find what exactly I was feeling. My thoughts were a jumbled mess right now, and thoughts flashed in my mind with a speed that I couldn’t process. Was I angry that he hid his identity? A little… Was I sad that he had to go through everything alone
