"I will make this child's still heart beat again but her life will not be hers anymore..." Nineteen years ago, Queen Annabella Snow gave birth to her first child. The baby was born with a still heart. Devastated by such a loss, she pleaded with the Demon King for her precious daughter's life. The conniving man agreed to give the girl life in exchange for her hand in marriage to his son. Desperate to hold her breathing baby in her arms, the Queen agreed without a second thought. Nonetheless, Princess Viviana grew up to be a vibrant young lady who had everyone wrapped around her mischievious fingers. The older she grew, the more concerned the Queen became and soon it was time. On her ninteenth birthday, the Princess was told about her 'engagement' to a man she had never met. Reluctantly, she consented to such an arrangement for the sake of her mother. But little did she know what awaited her...

Rather than cold, the word lonely suits him better. His cynical smile, his eyes - they all look empty. It was like he was tired of everything; traditions, the world, fate. I turned to face him and asked for his name. He only answered, "Noah", as if understanding my reason for questioning.

He called out my name and reached out for me, to pull me away from the cliff of my supposedly destined place of death. It pained me to see him that way, so afraid and hopeful, but it pained me more to even imagine a life with a sadistic mate like him. So I jumped, into the dark abyss of death, away from the terrors of my mate.
