DemonxHuman

Chapter 1

I saw Aren right away when I awoke from my bed. He was sitting in the corner of our kitchen. His eyes were staring at me closely, watching every move I made with his feminine eyes. My teeth grit tightly. As time passed, I noticed my body was constantly in pain, as though I could feel my muscles cramping up all over my system. I sighed as my body seemed to be exerting itself physically.

"Ayos ka lang?" paos niyang tanong habang nakaupo. Bakas sa mukha niya ang pag-aalala.

"Hmmm," tumango ako bago kumuha ng tubig sa lamesa, "About your offer, I will think about it." Napansin kung maputla ang mukha ko sa repleksyon ng bintana na gawa sa salamin.

Tumayo siya at lumapit sa pwesto ko. "No pressure."

He offered himself to be my Gerod. It's like the Familliar phase but more difficult and engaging because it contains consequences that could potentially ruin my plan in the future. Familliar is not just more complicated but also more challenging to deal with. Suntok sa buwan ang pagkakaroon ng Familliar dahil tanging mga espesyal lang ang nagkakaroon ng ganun samantalang ang Gerod ay napakadali.

Aren seems suspicious today, but I choose to ignore it. It was eleven in the morning when I looked at the time. I plan to return to Werzenia Palace to confirm if one of the gems was under-protected by Renu Macter, the Sultan of Werzenia. It had been five years since I left my family to fulfill what I was destined to do.

I tightly shut my eyes to prevent double vision. I sighed. I realized I had not eaten all night because I had watched the soldiers guarding the Werzenia Palace perimeter's security. Halos madaling araw na ako nakauwi dahil pinursige kong magmatyag sa labas ng Torogan Palace.

Geez.

I entered the restroom sluggishly. There were mirrors around the wall, and I could see everything. I turned on the hot button in the shower and let the water wash over my fair skin. I examined my entire body from the reflection. My soaked, long hair covers my naked body. I felt numb when my fuchsia eyes stared back at me from the mirror. I clenched my fists tighter until my palm ached from my nails. It is happening again. My round pupil was changing from chartreuse to magenta.

I sighed.

My mom told me that having this was normal. I did not make it a big deal, though she said I must never tell anyone, not even my father. After I cleaned my body, I changed my clothes and dried my thigh-length black hair before leaving the restroom. Aren still stares at me as if I did something terrible.

"Stop staring, will you?" I lifted my left eyebrow when he shrugged his shoulders.

I may assume this young man is stabbing behind my back, but that would be impossible because I know him well.

His hair has both blond and a little purple. He also has a canine ear. Slowly, I lowered my gaze to his muscular body. He's wearing a dark T-shirt and jeans. He also had a long, black claw that resembled the fingernail of a witch. His sclera is unique since it is black, and he has a large, scarlet pupil.

I began, "There is an occasion happening tonight, and the demons will surely take this opportunity to attack. Emperor Damascke's minion will surely come to take Pollo. "

"Did you dream of the future again?"

I nodded. "Always," Aren went silent.

I started to glimpse the future by dreaming. I was sixteen when it happened for the first time. I did not understand it in the first place, but I dreamt about my family one night. And the next day, my tragic dream came true.

If I had known, I would not have let that happen. I was on my way when I overheard my mother, Duchess Gabie Fogler, discussing my marriage as I passed Grand Duke Jawer's room. The monarch wants me to marry the Emperor's oldest son. But my mother opposed it, despite my father's approval. They were arguing because my father knew how willing my mother was to stop his idea.
