After the portal closed behind her with Selene and Lucas still inside the dead realm, Aria's heart pounded in fear of the things that had happened. She stared at her arm; the marks from Selene's spell still faintly visible on her arms. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Lucas had almost died.

Not in battle, and not even at the hands of the dreadful Behemoth. It was all because of her. Lucas could've died because of her ignorance, and blind trust for the devil.

She should've known better than

  • THE DEVIL'S LOVE    Chapter 55

    Distance, Lucas had learned, was a discipline.Not weakness.Not surrender.But discipline.And he was very, very good at it.******Weeks had passed since the argument.Not resolved.Not forgotten.Just… left where it had fallen—like broken glass neither of them wanted to pick up.Aria hadn’t come to him.That, more than anything, was what lingered.She hadn’t come back to explain herself.Hadn’t reached for him the way she used to when something unsettled her.Instead—She continued.Living her life.Going to school.Laughing.Smiling.And increasingly—Spending time with him.She had chosen to spend time with her new found friend, than to come to him.As she should have.******Lucas had not interfered.Not once.Not openly.Not in a way she could see.Because he had made a decision.If she needed him—She would come.And when she did—He would be there.As he always was.As he always would be.But that didn’t mean he wasn’t watching.He had instructed the demon guards to watch her

  • THE DEVIL'S LOVE    Chapter 54

    The morning felt… different.Not like other mornings when Aria would lay in Lucas's arms, talking about random things. Or the mornings when she'd wait patiently while Lucas made breakfast.This morning was too different.Just—off.Aria moved quickly around the room, her energy lighter than usual, almost buzzing beneath her skin as she pulled on her shoes and reached for her bag. There was a quiet excitement in her chest she hadn’t felt in a long time.Something simple.Something normal.And she liked it.A lot.“I don’t like it.”Lucas’s voice cut through the space before she even reached the door.Aria paused, her hand hovering midair before she slowly turned to look at him.He was watching her.Not casually.Not the way he usually did—with that quiet, steady calm that made everything feel grounded.This was different.His gaze was sharper.More focused.Suspicious.“…Don’t like what?” she asked carefully.“The way you’re eager to leave.”Her brows pulled together slightly. “I’m not

    Time had never moved this slowly before.Aria stared blankly at the board, her chin propped against her palm as the instructor went over something she already knew—something she had perfected days ago.Measurements. Ratios. Techniques.All of it felt… repetitive.Familiar.Too familiar.A quiet yawn slipped past her lips before she could stop it, her eyes watering slightly as she blinked away the heaviness pulling at them.Lack of sleep.That was Lucas’s fault.Her lips twitched faintly at the thought.He had been particularly unreasonable the night before—persistent in that calm, unshakable way of his that made it almost impossible to argue.Or leave.Or sleep.She exhaled softly, shifting in her seat before finally giving in, letting her head fall forward onto the desk.Just for a moment.Just to rest her eyes.The faint hum of the classroom blurred around her—voices, movement, the soft scrape of tools against surfaces—all blending into something distant.Muted.Safe.It was barely

  • THE DEVIL'S LOVE    Chapter 52

    Peace, Aria realized, was a dangerous thing.Not because it was fragile—but because it made you forget.And she had forgotten.Not entirely, not in a way that erased what Selene had said or the weight of it… but enough that the sharp edge of it had dulled. Enough that the fear no longer sat in her chest like something alive.Days had passed. Then weeks.Nothing happened.No looming threat. No whispers in the dark. No signs that anything had shifted beneath the surface of their world.And somehow… life had continued.Better than continued.It had bloomed.Lucas had a way of making everything feel… effortless.He showed up without warning, sometimes with nothing but that quiet, knowing look in his eyes—and other times with things that made no sense coming from someone like him.Flowers. Books. Jewelry he claimed was “insignificant,” though Aria was fairly certain entire fortunes had been spent on them.And then there were the days he took her out.Not extravagant in the way that would'

    Aria hadn’t opened the door in hours.At first, it had been anger—sharp, defensive, hot in her chest like a shield she refused to lower. But anger was a short-lived companion. It burned fast, bright… and then it left.What remained was something colder.Quieter.Something that sat in her ribs and refused to move.She stayed curled on the edge of the bed, still dressed, still unmoving, staring at nothing in particular. The curtains were drawn, the room dim, but not dark enough to hide from her thoughts.Selene’s voice hadn’t left her.YOU DON’T BELONG HERE.YOU'RE DESTROYING EVERYTHINGYOU WILL BE THE REASON HE FALLS.A knock came again.Soft this time.“Aria,” Levi’s voice filtered through the door, smooth, careful. “You’ve been in there all day.”She didn’t answer.There was a pause, then a quieter addition, almost reluctant."You shouldn't be like this... he's worried."Her fingers tightened slightly against the fabric of the bedspread.Still, she said nothing.Footsteps retreated.

    ‎The mansion felt different at night.‎Colder.‎Not in temperature—but in presence.‎‎The silence stretched longer, deeper, as though the walls themselves were listening. Shadows clung to the corners more boldly, shifting with a life of their own, bending around the dim glow of the chandeliers that barely pierced the darkness.‎‎By the time Lucas stepped into the grand hall, the air already carried her presence.‎He didn’t need to look.‎He knew.‎Selene stood by the towering window, her back to him, her silver hair catching faint light as it spilled over her shoulders like liquid moonlight. Beyond the glass, the night stretched endlessly, the horizon swallowed in darkness.‎She didn’t move.‎‎Didn’t acknowledge him.‎‎Lucas stopped just a few steps behind her.‎Silence settled between them.‎‎Heavy.‎‎Unspoken.‎‎Time passed.‎‎Seconds—or minutes.‎‎Then—‎‎“You’re unusually quiet,” Selene said at last, her voice smooth, almost bored. “I thought you would have come in here

    Levi lay on the bed with his eyes open in deep thoughts. He worried for his master, and in the darkest part of his mind, he imagined his master going through hell in the hands of Leviathan. Lucas had planned prior to his journey that he'd return in two days, but two days has passed already, and the

    The oceans split for him, and Lucas descended. The echoes of Leviathan's last words of an impending enemy was loud in his head. He wondered who would dare cross paths with him again after Behemoth. He thought of Aria, and hoped she would be save until he returned from his quest, and put an end to B

    When two days passed without Aria getting a word from Lucas, she got worried and tried to pry out information from Levi, but he wouldn't give in to her demands, and she didn't make it easy for him either. "So you're seriously telling me that you don't know where Lucas is?" "Yes, Aria. I have no i

    As Lucas prepared himself to meet with the dreaded sea beast, he wondered if it was a wise decision to make. Levi had tried to talk him out of it several times, but Lucas couldn't bring himself to listen to him, and give up on his quest. But now, the thoughts lingered, and he was confused on what t
