❝ With a touch of magic, humanity had somehow convinced themselves they were stars.❞
Aita Hunt is a ruinsome, good-for-nothing orphan. She intends to live her life quietly on the Requiem, one of several Orbises magically launched into the sky millennia ago by the Sky Masters to save the remainder of humanity from the end of the world. War, famine, or pestilence; Aita doesn't care. In order to be bound to one of two of her Marks of the Heart and save her mother from her eternal sleep, questions with infinite answers are not worth pondering. Quietly and dutifully, Aita had long ago decided.
But her Binding Ceremony changes that, a momentary mistake giving her one Mark of the Heart... and a Mark of the Blade, destining her to a fight to the death in order to be bound to her soulmate.
Aita Hunt is a ruinsome, good-for-nothing orphan, but she is bound to duty just as much as she is bound to the man she must marry, and the woman she must kill. She will do whatever it takes to win, forfeit not an option--even if that means accepting the mentorship of Requiem's Teller, one of the most powerful Sky Masters to date...
But with his teachings come questions about the Orbises, Aita's own past, and whether love is a part of everything she's always wanted. Can she trust Teller to give her her answers, or will she have to steal them herself?

Octavius
One of the most powerful man in the world. He was called Octavius. Cruel, coldblooded, and completely unobtainable. The Devil in a Brioni suit. The mere whisper of his name was like lethal poison that burned through the hearts of millions. Penetrating, and clear amber eyes that made grown men weep, and women burned with seduction. Behind the curtains, no one knew what he looked like yet he was always in control. It was a reputation he had fought to establish, one that brought him power, wealth and just about... everything.

The beautiful brute, Octavius, moody and controlling in every aspect.

If you couldn't feel his fingers digging into your thighs as he spread you open and devoured you whole? Have you ever come over and over, so hard and so many times you couldn't be sure where one ended and the other began?" His strong, veined hands gripped the backside of my bare thigh, tracing over my skin, itching higher and higher and I could feel a deep ache building inside my lower region. My mouth slacked, at a loss for words, all I could do was whimper softly under his possessive touches. "Answer me." Big, forceful hands caressed my chin, almost gripping my neck, only retracting as I let out a tiny breathless sigh. His dark deep amber eyes were on fire with a carnal sexuality that I had never seen before. "Use your words."Complete
Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.![Demons Do Love: BOOK 1 [THE LOST DAGGERS]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/93567521-256-k749906.jpg)
