She belongs to the Demon King

*Author's other work (The Dragon Prince's Bride)* *** 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.

191. I more than love you.

"I can't tell you what you want to hear because I don't love you." The words resonate in my ear. I was never expecting much, even just saying he likes me would suffice. But how can he bluntly say he doesn't love me? What then is all this extra attention he's been paying to me? Why did he bring me here? Why did he call me special and tell me he adores me if he'll also bluntly tell me he doesn't love me.

Why is he proposing to me in this manner? On his knees, what kind of king washes and kisses the foot of a woman he doesn't love? Where does this leave me? I don't understand. Why?

"Ah," I breathe out mindlessly, "I see." I mutter. "You can't possibly love a woman who is always trying to kill you. I understand." That's a lie! I don't understand! Why then does he want to marry me?

There's a cold wind blowing. It's reaching my bones. Or is it just me?
