"Alice, is this enough for you? Do you want me to get you more?" Moskov said, offering Alice a bunch of dead blokes.

The evil demon queen did nothing but purse her lips and ignore her lover.

Moskov gave out a loud sigh and went outside the cave to fetch more food for Alice.

He knew that Alice was disappointed since he was not able to catch her the mage that she wanted.

He massaged his temples and clenched his fists. He never knew he would get to this point, that he could sink this low, all for liking a woman who's got an appetite of a darn lion and a metabolism of a hummingbird.

Sometimes, he thinks that Alice is just too much for him to handle. Or that maybe he was better off alone.

He drummed his fists on his chest out of utter frustration. And he was hurt. That after all his efforts, Alice was only kind to him when she needed him. When his presence was convenient.

With his heart pounding so hard he couldn't hear his own breaths, he decided to walk away. Far far away.

And never come back.

Alice, with her soul full of greed and animosity, never knew that the love of her life was gone for good.

All because of her nature. Her innate thirst for blood. She cannot stop it. No one can. And for once, she wanted someone who would stay with her despite her constant greed for blood and life.

She never wanted the woman she has become but she can do nothing to overhaul her nature.

Because in anyway, she was just a demon trying to survive the vast realm.

And Moskov was just trying to love someone for once, because for him, loving someone is the only good thing he could offer to the world and yet, he still ended up hurt.
