~Flashback
A year before
We were having a fierce war with Noah, Demon of Gluttony. I had destroyed half of his army. But he was still alive and I was dying to slaughter him. The bloodshed continued for many months.
He was badly injured and was on the verge of dying. I smirked in victory and was about to kill him with my golden sword when all of a sudden someone stabbed my chest from the back.
I looked down only to see red liquid oozing out. I immediately turned around and ripped that guard's head off. His body crashed down on the ground. I smirked and, in a flash, jabbed my sword in Noah's chest killing him. He immediately died. I removed my sword from his chest. It was covered in his blood. I snapped my fingers. It blazed with a golden flame and soon all the blood evaporated leaving it in a gleaming silver hue. I fluttered my wings and soon flew off disappearing in the white clouds.
The blood kept dripping down from my chest making it bloody. I kept increasing my pace to hurry off but it was only boosting the pain. It slowly turned unbearable. My energy started draining off. My vision started turning blurry. I couldn't feel my strength anymore and finally, I landed on the ground with a loud thud leaving me unconscious.
Five months later
I opened my eyes slowly. I squinted my eyes a little to adjust to the bright light.
"You're awake"
A soft sweet voice grabbed my attention. I turned my face to the right.
My heart skipped a beat. The world got stopped around me. I squinted my eyes more as a beautiful and graceful lady sat beside me looking at me softly.
"Are you okay?"
I was speechless. I was mesmerized by her awestruck beauty. She had large blue eyes, soft pink lips, milky soft skin, long brown silky locks, a small babyface, and was looking like a fairy in her white silk gown.
She caressed my head softly with her small tender fingers making my heart beat faster than drums.
"How are you feeling? Please say something."
She pleaded with her puppy eyes making me smile at her cuteness. I nodded my head making her smile.
"Who are you?", I asked her.
"I am Diana, Princess of Moonland. And you?", she replied softly.
"Zachary, the Demon Prince." Her eyes widened at my response.
"You are a Demon?" Her voice had a pinch of fear. I nodded.
"And you're an Angel?" She looked at me in surprise.
"How do you know?", she asked while pouting cutely.
Oh My!!! She is so cute. Her soft pink lips look so tempting and sweet. I was in a desperate urge to kiss those rosy petals hungrily but I controlled myself and got up making her delicate petite figure touch my rock-hard chest.
"No, what are you doing?", she whispered. I then spoke in a firm tone.
"Why? I am a Demon. You are about to throw me away. So, I will go-"
"N-No", she quickly replied making me frown. "Don't leave like this. I am not going to throw you away. I was just not aware of your true identity that's why I got a little bit shook. And by the way, I had only healed your deep wounds."
My eyes widened in shock.
Did she help me?
An Angel?
"What? But you're an Angel and I am a Demon", I asked her completely shocked by her answer. She stared at me with a confused face.
"So what? It doesn't matter. You needed help that time. I found you unconscious on the ground. You were lying helplessly on the verdant grass covered in a pool of blood. When I rushed to check your pulse, you were barely breathing. My friend brought you to this cottage. It's her house by the way. Then I healed your scars with my powers", she answered me honestly. I looked at her in amazement.
"You have healing powers?"
She nodded cutely. I kept staring at her as I got bewitched by her courtesy.
Really, how can a person be so kind?
It was all new for me as I was unaware of these feelings. In our world, we demonstrate only a craving for blood, hate, fear, and power. These feelings of love, happiness, generosity, and benevolence were completely foreign to me.
But did she do it for a favor?
She chuckled at my confused face making me surprised.
Her sweet cackles...
"I know you must be thinking I helped you for some favor."
What the-?? She again laughed.
"I didn't help you to seek some sort of benefit from you. I just cared for you because that time you were in desperate need of help. You would have died as your chest was injured severely. But God sent me to save you. I won't ask anything from you in return. You are free to go now as you are completely healed. You had been unconscious for the past five months."
My eyes widened.
"FIVE MONTHS?"
I blared to which she immediately covered her ears with her small hands. I smiled at her childishness. She then glared at me.
"Oof!! Why are you yelling? Yes, you have been here for five months. You didn't have any idea as you were comatose. But don't worry, you are alright now", she smiled at me softly. I smiled back.
"Thank you", I spoke softly. She nodded. Then I got up. She immediately handed me a white shirt. I frowned.
"Wear it. Yours got turned", she spoke nervously and looked down as if she was afraid to tell me that. I smiled and took the shirt from her hands. I unwrapped the cloth wrapped around my body. She immediately turned around. I frowned.
"What happened??" She shook her head vigorously.
"N-No-Nothing.."
"Then why did you turn around?"
"Uhmm, w-wear your sh-shirt f-first", she replied nervously.
I chuckled.
So, she got shy!!! Hmm, interesting. I decided to play with her.
I placed the shirt on the bed and walked toward her. I stood behind her back and whispered in her ears.
"You can turn around now." She sighed and turned around while smiling.
"Okay, Now-AHHH!!!" She screamed and covered her eyes with her baby hands. I started laughing.
"What happened Angel?", I asked her in a mocking tone.
"You moron, why didn't you wear your shirt?", she scolded me cutely while still covering her eyes. I took her hands off her eyes. Her eyes were still closed.
"Oh!! Come on, you liked it, don't you?"
"YOU!! Omo!!!" She shouted and opened her eyes looking at my bare chest. Her eyes widened and she started struggling in my hold while closing her eyes tightly.
"P-Please Zachary!!! Wear something", she whined while biting her lower lip. I chuckled and left her hands. I then took the shirt and wore it.
"YOU!! I said put it on."
She peeked at me with one eye closed. I chortled. "Ah!! Finally...", she sighed in relief.
"Well, I should take my leave now."
She nodded. We both then went outside.
"Wow!!"
I became astounded while looking at the breathtaking view.
"This is Moonland.", she spoke proudly while crossing her arms.
"It's beautiful", I spoke in a sexy tone while staring at her. She nodded while smiling.
"Indeed, it is", she replied. I smirked as I was complimenting her.
So naive, so innocent. She even didn'tunderstand I was hitting her. I shook my head and flapped my red wings.
"Woah!!!" She stared at my wings in awe.
"Liked them?", I asked her. She nodded while grinning.
"They are beautiful!!!", she squealed. I kept staring at her but she was busy admiring my grand splendiferous red feathers. I walked towards her. She looked at me confused.
"We'll meet soon.",I smiled.
"Huh??" She looked at me bewildered. I pecked her cheeks quickly and before she could react, I got disappeared into the thick white clouds.
End of flashback~
"That day I made up my mind to marry her."
I spoke while staring at the glittering stars embroidered in the widespread dark counterpane of the sky. I was smiling softly while remembering my sweetheart. Calix was listening to me patiently.
"But Zachary, she just helped you out of kindness. And as far as I have understood, she won't be able to fit in this dark world", he spoke in his deep voice. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"What do you mean??"
Calix sighed loudly before speaking in his deep voice. "Listen, Zachary, she is an Angel and we're Demons. Even if you love her but does, she loves you? I mean you just got attracted by her beauty and altruism but she didn't get tempted by your charms. Okay, let's assume that somehow, you're able to marry her but the Demons of our kingdom won't let her live. Even if you get them decapitated but still the question remains will she be able to survive in Hell? Zachary, you are dreaming of something which can never turn true. Angels can never live in Hell. It's impossible", he tried to explain to me calmly but my stubborn mind which was in a desperate urge to have my sweetheart beside me had turned blank by now.
"Nothing is impossible. I will marry her only. I know what I am tryna do will create great havoc but I love her. I want her. I need her. I'LL.MARRY.HER",
I growled with a clenched jaw. He shook his head in disappointment."Okay, if that's what you want. But don't get angry at her if she messes up something. When we Demons aren't able to survive your wrath then she is just a girl and that too an innocent one."
I chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't."
"I hope so. But how will you do that??", Calix looked at me confused. I smirked evilly and looked at him.
"I need your help." Calix nodded.
I patted his shoulders while getting up. We both then fluttered our wings.
I then gazed towards the glistening Moon glowing brightly in the dark sky."I am coming for you, my Angel."

Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
