The guard bowed as the demon Lord briskly walked past him. His nose tipped up in search of his mate's refreshing scent. It was the only thing that could calm the heated battle he had going on inside.
The sheer audacity of his brother's actions always seemed to push new bounds. But he was done with it all. Done tolerating the spoiled adult male he was and done cleaning up his messes. He had his own life to think about. A mate he desperately needed to find at the moment and a beautiful pup reading in the study hall.
His pace quickened as the scent of his little priestess thickened. His feet led him back to her room across from him. He lightly knocked on the door before entering to find his petite mate curled around an oversized pillow.
Rina's eyes slipped open upon his entrance.
"Hey," she mumbled into the pillow.
The demon Lord sat beside her and raked his claws across her dark locks.
"Did you hear everything?" she asked.
