《The Witch's Demon Mate》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

KAEL'S POV Darkness. Endless, suffocating darkness. Kael had known only of this for centuries--cold iron biting into skin, runes of fire etched into his chain. Each link was a memory of betrayal, a prison forged to hold a prince of demons who had defied both mortal and infernal realms. He had slept, waited, raged. And then.... a pulse. A spark. Fire tore through the void, a jagged streak of light that seared his senses. His eyes snapped open--molten gold and red, cutting through the darkness like twin suns. A human. A witch. Alive. Trembling, yet radiating power. Her presence was immediate, undeniable, and it reached deep into him like a blade of fire. The brand. He felt it before he saw it; a sigil etched into her wrist, pulsing with her life, her fear, her raw potential. The connection slammed into him like a hammer striking stone, tearing through centuries of silence, hunger, and solitude. The bond claimed him instantly. Possessive. Primal. Irresistible. She was his

ARIA'S POVAria ran.Her feet tore through roots and dirt, lungs burning, every breath shallow and ragged. But no matter how far she fled, the bond clung to her-- an invisible chain coiled around her ribs, pulling, tugging, dragging her back towards him.The fever only worsened. Her skin seared where the mark had taken root, a jagged sigil stretched across her wrist and creeping up her arm and shoulder. Every throb sent lightening through her veins, hot and unbearable. She pressed her palm against it, but the heat only pulsed harder, as though it mocked her attempts to silence it."Run all you like," Kael's voice whispered, low and rough, curling through her head like smoke.She stumbled, clutching a tree trunk, heart hammering. His voice wasn't real--couldn't be--but it threaded through her thoughts, coiling around her fear with wicked intimacy."You'll tire before I do. You'll break before I bend. The bond won't let you rest, little flame."Her knees gave out, and she collapsed onto

ARIA'S POVThe temple reekd of scorched stone. Aria staggered back from the altar, her knees weak, her arm still burning from the sigil's glow. Below, in the crypt, Kael's laughter reverberated, rich and hungry, as if the breaking of his chain had given him life again.The High Priestess stood rigid, staff clutched so tightly her knuckles whitened. She hissd a prayer under her breath, sealing wards across the craked floor. "He's feeding on you," she spat, her voice venomous. " Every breath, every wealness, makes him stronger. You've doomed us all."Aria opened her mouth to deny it--but the truth coiled in her chest. She had called. She had whispered his name like plea. And he answered.Mine, Kael purred in her head, vlvet and fire. Don't listen to her lies, witch. You feel it, don't you. The heat, the hunger. You need me as much as I need you.Aria clutched her head, stumbling away from the prietess. "Get out of my mind!"But his presence only pressed closer, intoxicating. You wanted

ARIA'S POVThe crypt still smelled of smoke and scorched stone. Candles flickered along the walls, their shadows dancing over Kael’s chained form, casting him as both danger and desire. The bond pulsed hotter than ever across Aria’s skin. Her arm burned where the sigil spread, veins of molten light crawling past her shoulder, and every heartbeat dragged her toward him like gravity.Kael’s chains rattled as he shifted, leaning closer, the heat of his body spilling into her in ways she could feel even through the distance of the iron and stone. “You feel me,” he murmured, voice low, guttural, fire and hunger threading through each syllable. “Every pulse, every tremor… mine.”Aria swallowed, chest tight. She tried to step back, but the shadows curled around her wrists, tugging her closer. The bond was no longer just a whisper in her mind—it was a living force, pressing her body against him, igniting every nerve. Her back met a cold stone pillar, yet the pressure of his presence, phantom

ARIA'S POVThe forest outside the temple was thick with mist, moonlight cutting though like silver blades. Aria stumbled beside Kael, still trembling from the escape. Her body burned where the sigil had spread, and every step reminded her of the searing heat that pulsed between them.Kael lowered her gently against the trunk of an acient tree, his goledn eyes scanning the shaddows. Fire coiled along his skin, a living aura that made the air shimmer and hum."You're safe.... for now," he murmured, voice low but tender. His hand traced the glowing sigil along her arm, every touch sending sweet shivers through her body. "BUt you'll need more than that. You'll need me."Aria swallowed, chest heaving, body still reacting to the lingering phantom touches of their bond. "I... I can't... I don't know if I can control this," she admitted, voice trembling. The bond pulled her toward him, with heat coursing through her veins like wildfire.Kael's lips brushed her temple, soft but searing. "Conto
