You Are Mine
He touched the hickey, pressing his thumb hard against it."Sella, it's nothing. It's just... a bruise.""That's a lie!" Sella snapped, the vibration of her voice so strong that the books slipped from her grasp, falling to the floor with a heavy thud. "I know that woman's scent. Jasmine. It's Mia, isn't it?"He raised his gaze, and for one terrifying moment, Edi saw the purest, most possessive jealousy in his sister’s eyes. A jealousy not born of sibling love.Sella leaned forward, those golden eyes intensifying, fighting against their human brown color."I am your family! I'm the only one who cared about you after Father left. Why are you seeking wild intimacy outside when you have me here? Why are you giving her your energy, your warmth, and—""Sella, stop it!" Edi roared, unable to endure his sister's accusations any longer.Sella gasped at Edi’s roar. For the first time, she saw an Edi who was no longer her weak,
Forbidden Desire and Fury
Sella took a step back from Edi, her body trembling. She wasn't just jealous; she was afraid of herself. Afraid that she loved and desired this current version of her brother."You reject me, Edi. You reject the blood ties, the bond of our promise to Father. All of this for those three purple dots on your neck," Sella hissed, her finger pointing at the Lamia mark on Edi's neck as if indicating a traitor.Edi opened his mouth, wanting to explain. To explain the System, the Incubus Rage, the brutal need he was experiencing. But he couldn't. Lilieth had warned him—never reveal Desmond's secret to Sella, especially not in this emotional state."Sella, listen. I'll find another way to solve this. I'll take care of us. I promise. But that relationship... with a woman... it's complicated. It's necessary.""Necessary? For the Demon inside you?" Sella's eyes sharpened. She stepped forward, once again challenging the boundary. "Fine. You want proof of the 'ne
Olivia Rages
“No!” Edi cut her off, stepping in front of her. “You know what happens if you argue with debt collectors, Sella. You are my only family. Don't ruin this. Stay behind me. Promise.”“Fine, Edi. But if I hear you utter the name ‘Desmond’ or any other woman’s name, I am coming out, and I don't care who she is!” Sella rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door, locking it with the rusted key that hadn't been used in ages.Edi let out a breath of relief, his body trembling. He only had a few seconds. Edi grabbed the torn shirt Sella had thrown at his face and held it. If he had to face Olivia, he needed to look as filthy and destitute as possible.Edi crawled to the door, pretending to be paralyzed. With trembling hands, he opened the door just a slot. He made sure his face looked exhausted, terrified, and utterly helpless.Outside, stood Olivia. Her back was straight as steel. Her eyes, exactly like Ame
A Conversation with Mia
“Sorry, I didn’t get a chance to dispose of it,” Edi said.Mia looked at the shirt again, and suddenly her gaze froze, not on the odor, but on the bright purple color of the mark on the shirt’s shoulder. Then, her gaze shifted from the torn fabric to Edi’s neck.She leaned forward. Their distance narrowed to less than a foot. The smell of her body, a soft scent of vanilla mixed with a hint of exotic natural musk, flooded Edi.Edi’s heart pounded fast. If he transformed into Desmond now, he would surely pounce on Mia again. Edi forced himself to remain Edi, the awkward coward.Mia’s fingers, long and slender, now rose. They carefully touched the hickey on Edi’s neck—three perfect, deep purple spots flawlessly placed by the Lamia. The mark that Sella had already seen.“This…” her voice whispered, “This is very deep, Edi. Or should I call you Desmond when we are alone?&rdqu
Sella's Temptation
Two days passed.Edi's life had returned to a bewildering state of abnormality. Edi managed to contact Amel via text message; Amel apologized for her daughter's actions. She transferred a large sum of money (about 1 million) into Edi's account as 'compensation for the disruption.' Edi paid off some remaining debts, bought groceries, and gave Sella some allowance.Sella remained in a cold, resentful bubble since the Olivia incident and their forced kiss. She ate dinner in her room, spoke only in monosyllables, and refused to look Edi in the eye for more than two seconds. This was better than confrontation. At least, she wasn't looking at Edi's neck.Edi and Mia maintained their charade as awkward neighbors. Edi offered her a full bag of food and told her to rest. Mia accepted, with a look that promised they would meet again—behind the closed door of her unit, soon.This morning, that false calm shattered. Sabrun whispered back into Edi's ear. His DP
Touching the Anomaly Fairy
“I’m sorry, Edi,” Mia said in a flat, cold voice that stabbed straight into Sella’s ears, “but you have an appointment in my snake pit, and you are terribly late.”Mia’s aura burst forth, carrying the scent of damp forest, dangerous reptiles, and pure desire. It wasn't an aura intentionally launched to harm, but rather a kind of territorial warning. Anomaly powers clashed in the narrow corridor.Sella was startled. Although she didn't recognize Mia as an Anomaly, the not-yet-fully awakened Nephilim senses inside her reacted to the primordial threat. Her grip loosened for a moment.That was all Edi needed.Edi capitalized on the momentum of Sella’s released grip and twisted his body. His physique felt incredibly light and strong, thanks to the wild DP surge Sella had just released.“Sella, stay inside!” Edi pushed Sella back with unexpected force, enough to send her staggering into her room
Another Offer
The voice belonged to a young woman. She stepped out of the shadows in the book stack aisle. Her hair was neatly tied back, her blazer was worn flawlessly, and behind her square-rimmed glasses, her dark brown eyes glowed with anger.Edi recognized those eyes.“Emma is fine,” Edi said, trying to keep his tone as friendly as possible, while internally he immediately activated his energy shroud to ensure Olivia only saw 'senior student' Desmond, not the predatory Devil who was sleeping with her mother.“I said back away,” Olivia hissed, taking a firm step closer. “I am both her friend and her bodyguard. And I don’t permit anyone, least of all some suspicious guy loitering here at this hour, to touch her.”Edi shrugged. “No need to overreact. I was just trying to soothe an academic crisis.”Emma, having recovered slightly, quickly stood up. “Olivia, it’s alright. He was just helping.&rdq
Olivia's Orders
Two days passed, and Edi played the role perfectly. As Edi, he spent his time diving into public databases, scanning Amel’s company financial reports (easily accessible information for anyone with the right bank connections), and compiling a fake ‘intelligence report’ for Olivia.He only provided Olivia with data she already knew, or completely harmless information, while ensuring that all of ‘Desmond’s’ contacts with Amel were completely clean of any surveillance.On the third morning, Edi received a call from Olivia. Her tone was slightly friendlier—just slightly. Perhaps Olivia was starting to believe in the ineptitude of this enthusiastic ‘Edi.’“Your report is satisfactory, Edi,” Olivia’s voice came over the phone. “You found some small transaction anomalies, but nothing that leads directly to the gigolo.”“I’m just trying to do my best,” Edi said, t
Advanced Demon Mimicry
Wait.Edi stared across the corridor, where the VIP access hall intersected the main gallery. There, walking with a rhythmic, cold, and confident stride toward the VIP entrance, was a man. Tall. Handsome. Exuding an aura of superiority.The man *was* Desmond's form. Edi's own form.Edi watched his own body walking toward Amel, wearing the clothes he had worn twenty minutes ago—that expensive dark suit. Perfect.Sabrun transmitted a warning: [HIGH-LEVEL ANOMALY FROM HOSTILE FACTION DETECTED: ADVANCED DEMON MIMICRY. ALERT.]Someone had mimicked him! Or, worse, the Demon Edi thought he was—Desmond—was now physically present right before Edi's eyes.“He’s right there, Edi! He’s going in now! That’s him! Desmond! Take his picture!” Olivia urged, her voice panicked, laced with hatred.Edi raised his phone, aimed it at his mimic, who had just vanished through the VIP area door, but he couldn't
The Quartet of Sin
“And Olivia?” Edi asked, returning to the bitter irony. “Amel’s daughter? You let her think I actually went in, and she almost caught us?”The Mentor laughed again, a dry, elegant sound. “That was the best part. We needed to know how the Demon would react to pressure from the Human he loves—or in this case, his Partner’s relative. You nearly unleashed your Incubus Rage just because you saw your own shadow.”Edi sighed. The stinging shame was now as great as the sudden rush of anger. The Mentor was right. Edi needed to learn to control his Demon, not the other way around.“What else do I have to do? I’ve learned this lesson. What other bugs need fixing?” Edi asked.The Mentor reverted to the Desmond Mimicry form, his face handsome and youthful again. He stepped forward. His terrifying neon purple eyes stared intently, piercing Edi. He touched Edi’s chest—exactly where his D
