His voice broke on the last words, his chest rising and falling with the weight of his fury, his pain. The fire in his eyes burned brighter than ever before, a promise of vengeance that would not go unfulfilled.

I squinted at him, my tone softer but still firm as I offered, "If you want, I could ask my friend to track your siblings' bodies... and maybe even yours?" I knew I was treading dangerous ground, but I had come to understand his anger and hatred far better now. It ran deep, laced with sorrow and betrayal.

He let out a bitter chuckle, his eyes glinting with disbelief. “Impossible,” he scoffed, shaking his head. "To track a relative, you need their blood. I don’t even have a hold over my own body, let alone access to its blood!" He leaned back, resting his head against the wall, his expression worn, resigned.

An uncomfortable silence filled the space between us, thick with unspoken thoughts. We sat side by side, neither daring to break the stillness at first. Finally, I drew in

    Then his voice dropped to a venomous whisper, each word laced with warning. *"Your time is running out.* Evan’s life hangs in the balance. I could have your town run over with my servants!"* His grip on my thigh tightened, claws sinking past skin, past muscle, scraping against the very tissues of my body. A sharp gasp tore from my lips. Pain—searing, white-hot pain. I struggled, but his hold was strong. And for the first time in a long time… I felt fear.I wanted to scream, but my voice was stolen, trapped in my throat like a breath never exhaled. Panic clawed at my ribs as he leaned in, his breath brushing against my skin—warm yet chilling, like the whisper of a fever dream. I recoiled instinctively, dragging myself backward, my hands sinking into the cold, unyielding flesh of the bodies beneath me. The world tilted as I lost my balance, tumbling down from the gruesome pile. My head struck something sharp—a jagged outcrop of earth. Pain exploded behind my eyes, whit

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Unanswered Question

    There was a time when things between us had been simple—when we were just friends, laughing over inside jokes and navigating chaos side by side. But ever since that invisible wall of unspoken emotions had risen between us, we had started feeling like strangers trapped in the remnants of something unsaid. Still, for tonight, we had a purpose. And perhaps that was enough. I busied myself in the kitchen, brewing two cups of strong coffee, the rich aroma filling the quiet house. By the time I returned, the world outside had settled into silence. Everyone else had drifted into sleep, leaving only Dominic and me in the dimly lit study, where the *Tome of Deeds* lay sprawled open on the wooden table. Its recently uncovered pages stared back at us, waiting—daring—to be deciphered. The pages were unlike the others in the book. The parchment held the same aged texture, the same ancient ink, but something was *off*. Scattered across the page were small star-like symbols, drawn in a seeming

    I settled back onto the couch, watching his expression shift as he processed my words. Chen exhaled a small, breathy laugh, shaking his head. "Hah. It’s not exactly an inspiring story," he admitted, his usual grin disappearing just slightly. Still, after a moment of hesitation, he continued. "My parents… they were taken from me too soon." His voice softened, and he looked down at his hands as if searching for the right words. "It happened during a house robbery. I was just a kid, and my father hid me behind the plant pot to help me survive. After that, I went to live with my aunt—Aunt Jing, the one you all know." His eyes darkened slightly, his smile vanishing. "Her husband never liked me. I was just an extra mouth to feed, an unwanted responsibility. But Aunt Jing? She refused to let him treat me that way. She chose *me*. She gave up everything—her home, her marriage—just so I wouldn’t feel like I was alone in this world." A thick silence settled over the room. "So we lef

    And Dominic? He was nowhere to be found. Ever since… we... we kinda broken up, he had developed a habit of disappearing. Wandering off to some unknown place, returning only late at night when the world was quiet and everyone had retreated into their own thoughts. It left me and Victoria sitting in the living room. “You were saying something that night when Vega came in!” She said.When Chen came, he stepped inside, carefully balancing three mugs of coffee, a proud grin stretched across his face. “I figured you two might need this,” he added, extending the drinks toward us. Victoria accepted hers with a small nod of gratitude, but her eyes never left me. “So… what was it you were about to say?” she prompted, lifting an eyebrow. I hesitated again, nerves bubbling inside me. My fingers twitched, aching to reach for my guitar. “I wrote a song,” I finally admitted, exhaling as if I had just revealed some grand secret. “And I know this isn’t exactly the best time, but… would you reco

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Stranger in the mirror

    "She’s incredible!" I couldn’t help but grin, the admiration clear in my voice. "Yeah, she is," he agreed, his smile radiating pride. Hours later, as we made our way back to town, a rare stroke of luck was on our side—this time, there was no ambush waiting, no unexpected catastrophe lurking in the shadows. It was almost unsettling, the quiet. But that moment of peace was short-lived. As soon as we arrived, Jade caught sight of me. Her eyes widened, and within seconds, she was at my side, her gaze scanning my face like she was trying to decipher every bruise, every cut, every damn thing wrong with me. "You look like you just crawled out of a nightmare," she muttered, crossing her arms. "A nightmare where you got the absolute shit beaten out of you." Before I could respond with something funny, movement behind me caught her attention. The second she saw the Sheriff, her entire demeanor shifted. Her sharp, assessing expression melted into something softer, something... vulnerab

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Knock Out

    When she was only inches away, I dropped low. In a blur of motion, I twisted and spun, my leg sweeping beneath her. My kick connected solidly, knocking her balance out from under her. She let out a sharp grunt as she crashed onto her back. But I wasn’t done. Seizing the advantage, I grabbed her legs and yanked her down, pinning her beneath me. Without hesitation, I drove my fist into her face. Once. Twice. Harder. Her body tensed, then slackened as consciousness slipped from her grasp. Breathing heavily, I slowly rose to my feet. My chest heaved, sweat dripping down my temple as I looked up. Just then, Dominic, Victoria, and Chen came rushing in. Their eyes widened as they took in the scene, their gazes flicking from me to the unconscious form at my feet. "Are you alright?" Dominic asked, hurrying toward me, concern flashing in his eyes. He reached out, his hands glowing faintly. "Do you need me to heal you?" he offered, his voice gentle. I shook my head, already turning
