The Devil You Know (Sebastian Michaelis x Female! Reader)
Coming home was supposed to be a relief-one step closer to finishing university, one step closer to her dream of becoming an investigator. But the moment (Y/N) crosses the threshold of her childhood home, she realizes that everything she once knew is over.
Her parents are dead. Their bodies, left in a gruesome display. Blood stains the floor in a symbol she doesn't recognize. And worst of all?
She is not alone.
A man stands in the shadows of her living room-dressed in immaculate black, his crimson eyes gleaming like embers in the dark.
"Such a tragic sight," he muses, the ghost of a smirk on his lips. "And yet, it seems fate has already decided... you require my services."
She didn't summon him. She didn't ask for this. But it doesn't matter.
A contract has been sealed in blood, and whether she wants him or not, he is here to stay.
Now, with a demon at her side and a murder to solve, (Y/N) must navigate a world far darker than she ever imagined. Because the deeper she digs into her parents' deaths, the clearer it becomes...
They were killed for a reason. And she might be next.
