***
After surviving the utter destruction of the entire world, Kiva Quin and her best friend Skye Gailey find themselves in another world. The world of the ones who destroyed their home. 

The world of the demons.

Kiva, who never believed in the existence of demons, now has to live in a world full of them. They've taken her family from her and thus she harbors a hatred, vowing to take her revenge and kill the one responsible for the destruction of her world:
 
 Leonis Rein; supreme ruler of the demon world. 

Leonis is a man who doesn't believe in love. He believes in taking possession of whatever catches his attention… And she did. 

He meets Kiva, and her aggressive, persistent nature draws him to her. Slowly, Leonis starts harboring an unhealthy obsession for Kiva.

Kiva would do any and everything to put a knife in the heart of Leonis, or die doing so. But Leonis doesn't plan on letting death take her. At least not yet.

 Excerpt
 
Holding both my hands tightly together behind me with just one of his own, Leonis pressed his broad chest upon my back as I wriggled and try to get out of his stronghold. A gesture I knew was futile because he was strong, very strong. 

"Run if you like." 

His whisper sounded next to my left ear, and I wished to deny it, I wished to tell myself I don't feel it, but I do. I feel a certain tingle every time this demon is this close to me. 

"I will pursue you. Hide if you must, I shall find you, and die if you choose, I shall make death cough your soul back into your cold body." I knew it. He will never let me go.

She belongs to the Demon King

If I hadn't had that talk with Leonis, I'd probably be feeling a little uncomfortable seeing Isis here today. But seeing her now, a sort of pride sets over me because I now know that Leonis has always been mine. Even before I knew it, even before I accepted it, he's been mine and mine alone.

"Congratulations on your marriage." Isis says as she hands me a bouquet of roses of diverse colors. It's a beautiful bouquet and it has a lovely scent coming from it.

"Thank you," I say with a smile that is brighter than the one on her face.

"But it's not too late to change your mind, you know. If you—"

"No, thank you." I shun her before she can even say anything further. "I'm going to marry Leonis. I won't be sitting down here if I hadn't made my decision in the first place."

Silently, she stares at me and nods before finally saying, "Well then, I guess you won and I lost"

315. I'm happy.
