Dylan's POV:
"What did you just say?"
Aria pulls herself away from me. She looks so confused although I know she heard what I said to her.
"I love the air," I quickly replied. "Yeah, that's what I said earlier the cool breeze is so refreshing and relaxing," I mumbled nervously while scratching my head down to the back of my neck.
Even though it is cold outside the balcony, I am sweating like a pig after denying the slip-of-the-tongue confession of my feelings to Aria. Up until now, I still can't believe saying those words to her.
"Are you sure? I thought you said that you love me," she frankly said to me while seriously looking straight into my emerald green eyes. I can feel my face burning, and my heartbeat went faster than ordinary. She brushes her fingers along my black hair then she walks closer to me and said, "I love you too, Dylan."

Dylan's POV:Have you ever had any regrets from the past? A confession to the one you love, an apology to the person you deeply hurt, words you wished you never had said or should have said, and the things you could have done differently but you realized your mistake when it is all too late... Have you ever wished that you can undo the past and start all over again?We learn our lesson the hard way, but is it all worth it? Would you like to freeze the hands of time and travel back to the past to rewrite your story to change your path? I made a lot of mistakes in my past and if only I could wish it all away I would have done it by now.One of my biggest mistakes was Emann, and I'm sure she's up for revenge."What is the meaning of this?" Aria furiously said to me. "Explain yourself, Dylan!""She is not my girlfriend and we were never been in a relationship!" I clearly explain i
Aurora's POV:Flashback to Aria's childhood...After we have our meeting in the Grand Pillar, we went back to the fortress. We had a peaceful life there, and Clarren decided to go back to the legion to continue helping the lives of innocent humans. They created the medical center as a refugee for the humans and supernatural beings that are casualties of war. He knew that as long as I am here, with the help of Oslec and the fairy's protection, Aria would be safe from harm.Oslec and the fairies disguise themselves in human form every time they are with Aria. I tried to hide the existence of the supernatural being from Aria and tried my best to ensure that she would have a normal life as promised to her parents. Without Aria's wings, she is just an ordinary girl with average strength and an immune system.Even though we are keeping the past a secret, I make su
Aurora's POV:"The Djinn, why him? He's a demon," I surprisingly ask her. I still couldn't believe what I just heard from Erythaea."He's not just any ordinary demon. He is the type of demon who doesn't care about anything or anyone. He grants wishes regardless of who is the caster as long as you pay the price he requires. He has no master but the one who summoned him," she clearly explains to me."Are you sure, we can trust him not to betray us and sell us to the Demon King?" I inquisitively inquire. "I have to be sure because we are talking about Aria's safety here," I reluctantly added."I understand your concerns and I cannot guarantee that he can be trusted as well, all I know is that once you agreed with the Djinn he will do anything you ask him to do no matter what the odds. That's how the contract works with him," she frankly said to me without hesitation.
Aurora's POV:Everyone waits for me to speak..."I wish for you to take Aurora to a man named Clarren he is in the St. Luke's Medical Center in Crescent Hill Valley unharmed. That means you have to protect her and guard her with your life no matter what.""Is that it?" he confusedly asks me."Aria, come here," I called out her name. Freya was with her and guarding her the whole time while we are busy negotiating with the Djinn. Aria immediately walked toward me when I call her name. "I want you to go with Mr...""Dylan, my name is Dylan," the Djinn immediately said. "Hello little missy, I am Dylan your tour guide and we are going on a trip," he politely said to her."Grandma, he is not a human. I'm scared." Aria holds on to my waist tightly. She doesn't want to let go of me. "Don't be afraid. He is not going to hurt you. He is here to protect
Aurora's POV:My heart is shredded into pieces as I watch my poor Aria leave the tower. She is too young and innocent. She did not deserve to live a life of being hunted and hated. All I have to do now is pray that she would make it to Clarren and have a chance to live a normal life as I promised to her parents."I know it's hard to let go, but it's for the future's sake. If it makes you feel better, I will tell you one of my visions," Erythaea softly speaks. She leans closer to me and whispers in my ear. "You will meet her again here in this place before she reaches her eighteenth birthday. Let this be our little secret."My heart was filled and overflowed with joy knowing that I would meet her again. It means the Djinn will succeed in his mission. All my fears and worries washed away. I just need to focus on my final wish."I still have one more wish," I said to her.
Aria's POV:I couldn't believe that Dylan was the one responsible for the death of my grandma. I keep my head down and couldn't look him in the eyes for I am ashamed of myself for causing all of this. If it wasn't for me, my grandma wouldn't be forced to make those wishes. I saw Dylan staring at me in disbelief. Is he thinking the same thing?I never expected that our paths had crossed before. Could it be fate and am I destined to be with him? So many questions are bombarded inside my head and all of these revelations are creating more confusion rather than clarity."Aria, I didn't know and I don't remember anything. Please believe me," he desperately said to me trying to explain.He must be afraid that I would hate him for being the Djinn and for taking my grandma's life. I don't know how to react, and I can't utter a single word."You have to believe him, my ch
Dylan's POV:Flashes of memories came rushing in on me like adrenalin pumped into my system after I granted Aria's second wish. Everything happens so fast, and all of my memories became so clear as if they were only yesterday.Flashback six years ago...I remembered when I took Aria away from the tower and was riding at the back of my hellhound. She was trembling in so much fear her body went cold with dread. She was holding onto my arms so tightly that she must have forgotten that I was a demon.Suddenly, we heard thunder not too far from us and flashes of lightning that almost hits the ground. A huge formation of black clouds coming in our direction and that only means one thing, we are being followed and he is on his way to get her.I decided that it was better for us to travel on foot. My hellhound has a distinct force that when it e
Dylan's POV:"I know how to defeat the Demon King" Aria seriously said.She must have remembered everything about her past and how she was able to defeat Barbas."You cannot use that power again," I strongly advise her. "You almost got killed the last time you used it," and reminded her."But Dylan, that's the only way I can defeat my enemies. It is riskier if the demon inside me took control over my body," she worriedly said.To be honest, she is somehow right. The demon inside her was too powerful, and she is finding it hard to control it, while she can control the power of the light but the problem is that her body cannot withstand its enormous power."She possesses the power of light and darkness but is unable to control it," Erythaea said."Your body cannot withstand the power of the light because you no longer have
