“With gilded blood, pray upon a demon’s heart, for it very well might save you.”
💖💖
The Blood Knight has killed me in twenty-time loops—a cruel curse that I’ve found myself trapped in.
But you can only die so many times before all of your hope is stolen away.
“You know what you’re offering them, don’t you? They are demons after all. It’s not a stretch to think that they plan on breeding you,”
Kalel’s amber eyes find me over his shoulder and the softness in them flickers as the muscles in his jaw feather. “I wish it wasn’t you, little godling.”
“You know, you really are such a pretty little thing for being so vile. Far more broken and ignorant than I thought you’d be. Tell me, have you heard of me?”
“Oh, little godling, you’re right about that. I am a monster. Your worst nightmare. I’d kill you in your sleep if I wanted. I’d kill you while fucking your brains out if I so pleased.”
Do. Not. Fuck. The. Godling. I chide myself as her sweet scent nearly knocks me over.
A demigod lusting for a demon—gods, I must’ve fallen into madness.
“If hurting me will soothe the pain that wreaks havoc in you, then hurt me, Kalel. You’ll find there’s not much left inside me that can be broken.”
“You made me a monster. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.” He stares down into my watery eyes as he thrusts his hips into me like I’m nothing more than a ragdoll. His face is contorted with hatred, but his eyes are filled with so much misery it hurts.
“Don’t call me a devil ever again,”
“You’ll have plenty of restless nights when we get to Devicit. Rest now while you have the chance.”
“Little godling, I promised you a lifetime of suffering. If I must endure it, so will you. Besides that, no demon has mated a half-god before. Wouldn’t you rather have his assistance through it?”
She chose to stay. She chose me. And for some reason, that dug a knife into my heart.
“How DARE you try and kill what’s mine.”
“Kingdom of Devicit. I give you your new duchess, Alira Lornhelm.”
“You are different from the other half-gods.”
“Tell me how much you loathe me. Tell me I’m nothing more than demon scum to you. A monster.”
“Kalel, I’ve never loathed you. You were never a monster. It was me all along. Not you,”
came back to Florum because I was looking for you,” he chokes out
“I never stopped thinking about you.”
“All I ever truly wanted was you… And the guilt of that is ruining me, little godling.”
“Let’s not talk about the past. Maybe another night, but tonight we should try to be happy. It’s our day after all.”
Oh, my gods. I’m losing my mind to this demon, and I’ll gladly fall into madness for him.
Fall
“I wished it wasn’t you, Alira. But I was lying. To myself. To you. I’ve longed for this. To make you mine forever.”
Gods, I’m falling in love with a demon.
Yes !!! Girl
“You should know that I die slowly with each tear you shed. I love you, Alira. I’m sorry for what I am.”
But unlike the gods in the sky, I require a prayer from one with holy blood to keep a soul from entering the Gates of Mortem. So, when I watched that young demigod girl weep over his body and cry out to the divine beings who abandoned them, I answered her call.
Once upon a demon’s heart, it was done—only written in gilded blood can it be undone.
