Trembling, I began to move my hand again. My body was so sensitive that even the slightest touch made me flinch. He noticed, of course — and the half-smile that curved his lips told me he did. After a while, my breathing grew faster, louder than ever before. Desire swept me away, and I tilted my head back, lost in the sensation of my own touch.

A low growl pulled me back to reality — a reminder that I wasn’t alone. When I opened my eyes, I found myself staring into the face of the most beautiful demon I had ever seen. His body was tense, restrained, as if he were holding himself back and waiting. His gaze sought mine, and when our eyes met, he spoke with a quiet, knowing smile.

“Are you close?” he asked, eyes gleaming.

“The last two times I was closer…” I answered softly. His eyes narrowed — I must have said something wrong. “I’m sorry, my lord,” I added quickly, “I’ll try to please you better.”

He threw his head back and laughed. “Well then,” he said teasingly, “since you ask so nicely… how can I help you?”

“I want to touch you,” I whispered. “To please you, to feel your skin, your warmth.” My voice shook as the thought itself sent waves of heat through me. “Or maybe… you could be inside me and take me there yourself.”

“As tempting as that sounds, baby,” he said, leaning closer, his tone deep and dark, “I can’t. Tell me something that will make you burn hotter — not something that feeds my pleasure.”

“Then let me move against you,” I breathed. “Let me feel you, please.”

He swore under his breath, struggling with his own restraint. “If you did that,” he muttered, “I wouldn’t last a second.”

I crawled closer, until I was right before him. My hands rested on his leg, feeling the strength beneath his clothes. I began to move again, slowly, rhythmically, losing myself in the contact. The friction, the heat, the sheer closeness made my body tense and my breath shudder. He growled again, displeased when I looked away — and then his fingers brushed my lips, guiding me back to him.

Without words, I took them into my mouth, drawing him in, our eyes locking as he tilted my head just enough for control. His gaze burned through me, his expression a mixture of hunger and restraint. My movements quickened as his hand traced the curve of my chest, his fingers lingering over the thin fabric, teasing, testing, until I could hardly breathe.

“How starved are you?” he asked, voice rough.

“Completely,” I gasped. “I can’t take any more.”

“Then you’ve obeyed my command,” he murmured, his voice low and shaken.

The spell broke. I fell against him, both of us gasping for air. His hand slipped away, and for a long moment, neither of us could move — caught somewhere between exhaustion and desire. My legs trembled, unable to hold me, and I slid to the floor, resting my head against his knee, my body still trembling with aftershocks.

For a heartbeat, all I could think was that if someone didn’t finish what had begun, I might lose my mind.

Then his rough whisper came again, low and uncertain, “Should I help you finish what you started?”

    Seven months had passed since the flames of the Raven Rock base were extinguished and a new star was lit above the Nest. Time—once an enemy—had become Abigail’s ally, though the burden she carried grew heavier with each passing day. The demonic bloodline dictated a faster progression than any ordinary human pregnancy: the child in her womb was not merely growing, but demanding more and more energy.Beyond the windows of the chambers, a spring storm raged. Lightning tore across the sky, as if nature itself knew that something era-defining was about to occur on this night.Abigail lay on the bed, sweat beading on her brow. With every contraction, it felt as though her body were about to tear itself apart from the inside. Nathan did not move from her side; his hand clamped around hers like a vise, and through the Bond he tried to draw some of the pain into himself. His face was pale, his wings trembling nervously at his back. The great Hunter now felt more helpless than he ever had on an

    In the northern wing of the Nest, far from the hum of council chambers and the urgency of the healers, Jake and Sadira finally crossed the threshold of their own quarters. The heavy stone door closed behind them with a dull thud, sealing out the outside world—the remnants of war, even the weight of Abigail’s fate. In this room, the air was cooler, the walls draped in dark blue silk tapestries, and moonlight streamed through the window, casting silver ribbons across the polished floor.Jake let out a deep breath and leaned back against the wall. He shrugged off his heavy tactical belt; his weapons hit the ground with a metallic clatter. It was the first moment in months when he didn’t need to look over his shoulder.“It’s over, Jake,” Sadira whispered.She stood in the center of the room, and in the moonlight the Core’s energy beneath her skin no longer pulsed wildly but glowed softly, almost soothingly—like the northern lights.Jake stepped toward her. He didn’t speak; he simply cuppe

    Life in the Nest had found a new rhythm. The weeks following the siege of Raven Rock were devoted to rebuilding, but the whispered conversations in the corridors no longer spoke of destruction—they spoke of a miracle. Nathan’s suite, once a dark and austere stronghold, had become an island of peace. The fireplace burned constantly, and the air was no longer heavy with combat oils but infused instead with the scent of healing herbs and fresh pine.Abigail stood at the edge of the balcony, gazing out over the valley. The sunset bathed the mountain peaks in orange light. Though only a few weeks had passed since Elara had delivered the news, Abigail already felt the change—not just in her body, but in her soul as well. The strength she had received from Nathan’s blood pulsed through her veins; her skin glowed with health, and her senses were sharper than ever before.Soft footsteps sounded behind her. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. The Bond—now unbreakable—clearly marked Nath

    The darkness was not empty. It was like a deep, ice-cold ocean into which Abigail’s soul slowly sank, drifting toward a bottomless abyss. Rodriguez’s claw had not only torn through her flesh—it was as if it had severed the very thread of her existence. The sounds of the base, the explosions, and the distant echoes of Sadira’s Core detonation all fell silent. Only one thing remained: a distant, pulsing red light that would not let her vanish completely.It was Nathan’s heartbeat.Among the ruins of Raven Rock, Nathan paid no attention to the collapsing concrete walls. He knelt on the blood-soaked floor, clutching Abigail’s lifeless body against his chest. His face was twisted with pain and fury. Sadira stood some distance away, still trembling from the energy she had released, her gaze fixed on Abigail. She carried the Core—she was the living source—but it was Abigail who had given her life so that Nathan could reach them.“I will not give you up!” Nathan snarled.Then the Hunter did s

    Inside the base, the red glow of the emergency lights flickered like dying embers. The air was thick with the stench of burned cables and the suffocating ozone haze left behind by Sadira’s energy wave. Nathan and I practically charged through the wreckage, glass shards and fragments of exploded monitors crunching beneath our boots.“Sadira! Jake!” I shouted, but my voice was swallowed by the seemingly endless concrete corridors.At last, we reached the central chamber. The sight froze the blood in my veins. In the middle of the vast, circular hall stood Rodriguez—though he barely resembled a human anymore. His body had elongated unnaturally, his skin had turned translucent, and beneath it a dark, pulsing mass of corrupted demonic essence writhed like a living thing. Rodriguez was holding Jake by the throat, Jake’s body dangling helplessly in the air. At the far end of the chamber, Sadira lay motionless on the floor, faint sparks flickering around her body—her last remaining reserves o

    The fall was not frightening, it was liberating. Nathan’s wings cut through the air, the rush of dark feathers the only sound strong enough to drown out the pounding of my heart. As the concrete courtyard of the Raven Rock base rushed up toward us, blinding white beams of light suddenly shot up from the ground. The radars and automated systems had finally detected the intruders.“Now!” Nathan roared.We were still in the air when the hybrids lined up at the gate raised their weapons in unison. The flashes of muzzle fire looked like a thousand stars being born in the dark valley. With a single powerful beat of his wings, Nathan changed direction, yanking me out of the path of the gunfire, and we slammed down directly in front of the first row of hybrids.The ground shuddered beneath us. The force of the impact carved a crater into the concrete, and the shockwave hurled dozens of hybrids into the air.Nathan rose within the cloud of dust. He was no longer just a man, but not only a demo
