The Devil's Cursed Witch
The tale of a man who brings death and a girl who denies it. ---- On the haunted mountain in the kingdom, they say there lived a witch. She was born a princess. But even before her birth, the priest declared her to be cursed and demanded her death. They poisoned the mother to kill the baby before she gave birth, but the baby was born out of the dead mother—a cursed child. Again and again, they tried to kill the baby but she miraculously survived every single attempt. Giving up, they abandoned her on the haunted mountain to die but she still survived on that barren land— A witch ‘Why won’t she die?’ Years later, the people finally had enough of the witch and decided to burn the mountain. But the Devil arrived to her rescue and took her with him from that burning place, because dying was not her destiny even then. Draven Amaris. The Black Dragon, who ruled over supernatural beings, the Devil who no one wished to cross a path with. He hated humans but this certain human girl would pull him towards her whenever she was in danger. ‘Is she really a human?’ He took the human with him and named this mysteriously tenacious girl “Ember”, a piece of glowing coal in a dying fire. A soul tainted with vengeance and the darkness of hell, would rise from the ashes and fulfil her revenge. ------ This is the second book from the series of The Devils and Witches. 1st book - Witch's daughter and the Devil's son. 3rd book- The Devil's Betrothed.

Do As You Wish
Draven stared at his mate.
With the contents of her dream already confirmed, the usual Draven would have already left her chambers as there was no need for him to stay. However, at this moment, he could not turn away from her.
'Had I done anything to upset her?'
Concern. It was an unfamiliar feeling.
Draven had never initiated understanding another person's feelings before, normally tasking others to deal with such delicate matters related to the heart. But now, he had to learn. He had to learn because Ember was his mate, and his mate was a person with her own feelings that affected him as well.
Other than answering him, she said no more. She wasn't even bothered to look at him.
'I don't like it.'
"Is there something you want to tell me?"
However, Ember didn't answer.
"Whatever it is, you can tell me. You don't have to be worried about what I would say or do," he insisted.
