Chapter 9

“I know that look,” Azi comments, walking over to sit next to me on one of the many chairs by the window, pure, clear glass with the best views over the city in front of us. Burnt yellows, deep oranges, and smooth purple colours reflect off a sun catcher above my seat. The sun catcher is cheap and out of place in the sleek, modern room, but my daughter made it for me. A long time ago. This is one of many apartments I own, overlooking the beautiful human city of London.

The city itself isn’t that human anymore, not that it ever was, but now everything isn’t hidden, the magic speaks for itself. So do the supernaturals who live here, feeding off the deepest sins humans always have. London is an easy city to get lost in, and for supes, this makes it home. This place is perfect for them. But right now, as the sun slowly sets across the skyscrapers that fill the city, it’s nothing short of beautiful. In all my years, so many of them, I’ve always admired the sunset, the beauty it brings to the end of the day, every day, forever. The lowering sun almost makes me forget the woman I’ve not stopped thinking about. The one my demon burns for.

Az doesn’t push, doesn’t say anything as he pours himself a drink from the small table between us and drinks.

He knows if I want to speak to him, then I will. It’s always been like this between us. We weren’t the closest growing up, but recently, the war changed us. I risked a lot for him, something I’ve never done for my family, and he did the same for me. The war was won, in blood and power, but the shadows of what our other brother did still haunt us both. His daughter still lives, but thankfully she has the soul of an angel.

Where the light came from, no one knows, but it’s there.

“There’s this girl,” I say, and then correct myself. “Woman. I don’t know why, but my demon, he claimed her immediately. When he saw her through my eyes, he locked on like she was a prey we have been hunting forever. It was different, and after the long years of my life, different is usually a forewarning.”

I’m not one to open up my feelings to anyone, but this time, my brother is the only one left on this planet that could possibly understand my demon. His is just like mine. Our demons are something I’ve never been able to fully explain or understand myself, no matter how old I get. My demon, he’s all the bad traits, the dark traits, the evil and the corruptness in my soul. Everything rolled into one. He’s all the parts of me that have no emotions, and instead makes choices based on a primal sort of desire, the desire for lust, suffering, and darkness. The woman I met in the Reaper Realm was enchanting.

Daesyn Heartlocke.
