by A. K. Koonce
I stand before the guards, the incubus who I once thought was my mate, and my father.
And too many visions of how I’ll kill him flash through my mind.
My father takes my hand in his and turns as if he’ll lead me into the castle like the only child he has left now in the world.
There’s a rawness to my throat and I can’t think let alone speak.
“Look what’s happened to you. I should have never sent you away. We can file these horns away,” he tells me like a promise. “We will fix whatever’s happened to you, dear. We can take care of all of this.” He goes to reach for the horns above my head.
Rage dark and deadly blooms within me and I can’t even feel a single ounce of Catherine’s existence through all the anger I’m harboring. I jar away from him and storm inside without looking back at what just happened.
Because revenge is a powerful thing.
And with time, I will burn this entire fucking realm to the ground for what they’ve done tonight.
The End.
Thank you so much for reading about my demon-fae! Aries books are everything to me and I’m finalizing book two as you read this ;)
Book two, Sinless Demons releases January 30th and is available at a special discounted preorder price! You can reserve your copy HERE!
Another fun thing that I loved about Aries… is that the Kingdom of Roses and her world is shared. You can see her and her guys in another book by the amazing author, Ava Mason. Look for a special appearance by Aries, Ryke, Zaviar, Damian, and Krave in her new book titled Magic of the Demon Fae!
