Roxana watched worried as the witch examined Alexander. They all surrounded him and he lay in bed waiting to hear from her. "There is a lot of darkness contained within him." She said at last. "Is he cursed?" "Yes," his grandma nodded. "That explained why he was able to consume the dark power. Only darkness can attract darkness. He saved us. Those spirits would have wandered earth and possessed people." "But what happens to him?" Roxana asked. The witch tilted her head. "Magic has consequences and…

Lucrezia's eyes widened as she watched the large winged creature that rose from the mansion. His dark wings blended with the night sky, shining with their strength. His horns stood tall and sharp. Blood dripped from his hair down his muscled body, now taut with fury. The veins in his strong arms were even more visible leading down to his clawed hands. Alright. She called for Raphael but Skender would do. Perhaps? She got up quickly to fight, her body already covered with injuries. She hurried to assist…

Constantine was trying to discreetly keep an eye on everything. At this point, they probably already drained Skender completely and would keep doing so before he could heal and refill with blood. That way he would be in an endless state of healing. But Constantine still had hope since the demon healed fast. He just needed to stop one draining session and then hurry to disrupt the ceremony. The question was how. Nathaniel had eyes everywhere and witches were tricky to fight. They had so many tricks up…

Everyone gathered in Rayven's home in the demon world. Roxana was in panic and had told the others that something wasn't right and when Skender's grandma couldn't find him, her feelings were confirmed. "What happened?" Lucrezia asked. "I am not sure. One moment he was there and the next he was gone." The grandma said. Angelica put her arm around Roxana who was distressed. "He is not alright. I can feel it. He is... he is in pain." "We need to know his location," his grandma said, looking at…

"Have I seen you somewhere?" Skender asked the man, trying to take a closer look. "Perhaps." The man replied. "You knew my parents?" His lips twitched. "You remember?" "You killed them?" Skender said. "I had nothing against your parents." "But you killed them." The man tilted his head. "Yes." "Why?" "For the same reason that I will kill you." "And what is that?" Skender wondered. The man chuckled. "Well, I am creating something and the witches insist that you need to be sacrificed for that after…

The night went on as usual and Skender didn't hear the hissing sound for a while. His grandmother had been standing stiffly and compelling every man away that he had to give her some push to enjoy herself. He found Lucrezia and William speaking in a corner and as much as he didn't want to ruin their talk knowing William was completely captivated by her, he had to interrupt. "Could you take William with you?" He asked her. Well, was this not helping in a way? "Sneak him in somewhere. Or anywhere else…

Skender left the ball hall and took Roxana to the garden so they could have a moment alone. "What are you doing?" She chuckled when he kept leading her away. "We can't leave everyone behind." "I want you alone for a moment." He took them around the tall hedges so no one could see them and then he drew her into his arms and kissed her. She smiled against his lips as she kissed him back. Not wanting to waste a second, he reached for the ring in his pocket without tearing his lips from her and put it on…

Lucrezia arrived at the lively ball, taking herself in without invitation. Her invitation card was a friendly smile and the guard checking the invitation cards forgot about their duties as they watched her with a spellbound look until they could no longer see her. She walked down the halls where both men and women looked her way mesmerized and then she finally arrived at the hall where the party was taking place. What could she say? She was still a romantic girl at heart and wanted to see what this moment…

Roxana arrived at the ball hall where musicians were playing music, people were already dancing, chattering, and drinking. Right at the front, sat Alexander on his throne and high generals and courtiers came to introduce their daughters. She could see Alexander nodding politely but not giving anyone much attention. He seemed a bit distracted, his eyes wandering away sometimes while trying to listen to a few that talked for too long and when she stepped further in, his gaze found her immediately. Roxana's…

Constantine finished the cup of blood he was served every evening. He healed very fast and even felt much stronger than he did before. He was now the false leader of the shades but truly he was a slave. Every step he took was being watched. He couldn't see who watched him, but he felt it. Everything was so perfectly under control. But not under his control. It felt as if the strange demon was a shadow himself, present in every step. Perhaps it was just him being paranoid but what was he supposed to feel?…
