Chapter 17 - Bargain DamonSomething in me snapped. Call it fear for my kingdom, fear of losing someone close to me again because of a stupid encounter, but I snapped. All I saw was read as I charged for Alora. She tried to move away from my grasp, but she was too slow. My hand wrapped around her throat, and in the next movement, she was pinned against a bookshelf. "Alora," The pixie screamed in horror. But I didn't pay her any mind as I turned all my focus to the pirate beneath my palm."I'm tired of your games. Tell me where the ring is, or so help me, I'll-" I snarled. Alora cut me off. Her chest pressed against mine, our breaths matching each other. Heavy and fast. A moment of panic filled her starlight eyes before she caught it."You'll what? Kill me. Lock me away in a tower and throw away the key." She scoffed, forcing a smile. The stars in her eyes seemed to twinkle pulling me in closer. She licked her lips, and my eyes fell to them for a moment—the overwhelming need to taste

Chapter 19 - MadeGarrenAlora looked at me as if I had a third head. I had sensed her magic before, a few times in my life, actually. It was old, much like my own, and extremely powerful, but it seemed she either didn't know that or had enough control over it to make it seem that way. My guess was the former of the two because if she did understand the full potential of her magic, she wouldn't be here right now, or at least I wouldn't have been able to detect her. But it wasn't just her magic that intrigued me. It was Alora herself. Since becoming some form of deity myself after the whole Ryuu fiasco, I had been able to detect everyone's essence. It told me what they were, dragon, werewolf, vampire, and so on. But with her, I couldn't see it; I had never encountered that before. And when I took the bruise to my ego by asking Balthazar about it, he said he didn't know either.Though, I called bullshit to that because as much as I didn't like to admit it, Balthazar did know everythin

Chapter 21 - LostDamonI couldn't believe we were actually doing this. Trusting a thief and a pixie to help us, but I had to get back that ring and the only way to do that was to give Alora what she wanted. "We go in together. No tricks got it." I bade "Got is, Princeling. No funny business, or you'll punish me." The way she said it made me tense. I could hear the double meaning in her words, another way to get me going, even if she didn't mean it. Balthazar and Drabek didn't even try to hide their smirks, and she flashed them a smile. "I mean it," She rolled her eyes at me in response. "Are you going to hand over Helga or just keep chastising me like a child?""Watch your tongue, Pirate. If we didn't need you, you'd already be dead." Apollo warned. Alora didn't miss a beat; her silver-tongued mouth always seemed to run hot when she felt threatened. It was one of the many things I noticed about her the past couple of days."But you do need me, Poppet. So until you have that ring,

Chapter 23 - Friction Damon"Alora," I muttered, trying to get her attention. She looked at the small shack before us, but her eyes were far away again. Her mind had clearly wandered back to whatever haunting moment she relived earlier. Her shoulders were tense as she got lost in whatever she was thinking about and despite all my better judgement, seeing her like this bothered me. It reminded me of all the times I got lost in my past. All the time, I needed someone to pull me out of those memories but found myself alone.I gritted my teeth, my hands flexing as I gave her another minute to come too. Her hands started to tremble, and I cursed as I stepped forward and forced her to look at me. My eyes connected with hers as I called her name again. "Alora," I snapped. Her pupils dilated before she gasped for air. She blinked a few times, her long lashes sweeping across her freckled cheeks. Her breaths came out heavy as she tried to ground herself again. Her pink lips slightly parted a

Chapter 25 - Split decisionDamonI kept my focus on Alora's palm as I worked at cleaning out the bits of gravel that had embedded themselves into her skin—making it seem like it needed more focus than it did as I tried to ignore certain things about her. Like how perfectly her small hand fit into mine. Or how soft her skin felt against my fingers, despite the callouses she had from years of working to build them from practicing with a sword. Or how she would slightly flinch if I moved too fast despite her trying her best to hide it.Her sweet scent of cotton candy and candied apples brought me back to my favourite moments as a child. Heck, even before my mother passed, I enjoyed the Solstice festivals. I had always loved the excitement the celebrations brought to the kingdom each year as a new season began.It was strange how right now, in this moment, despite everything that was going on in my life. How calm I felt being here with Alora. I had always enjoyed the freedom that came wit
