The demon boy

In this short amount of time, I understood many things about Killian, but I couldn't stop myself from asking this question that was bugging me and confusing me. "Killian, why does the King want to kill you to save Prince Cassius?" I questioned. What is the connection between you two?" 

The devil didn't answer immediately. Instead, he watched me, a smile playing on his lips. There was amusement and joy in his eyes. And, when he finally spoke, his voice was a low purr. "It would be better if Killian told you the whole story, Lia."

"Are you...." 

He nodded slowly and then pressed his lips against my forehead, the warmth of his touch a stark contrast to the chilling truth. "I will come out to meet you later, my bride."
