A rarity that I was set on giving to her.
But when I turned, she wasn’t close to me. She was standing by Oros.
Oros, who looked down at her with a small scowl while the human looked up at her with a look I could only describe aspensive.
“Aren’t you going to ask me my name?” the human asked, a smile pulling at her lips.
“Do you want me to?” Oros asked. “Eros’s attention not enough for you?”
The human leaned forward, getting far closer to a bloodthirsty demon than most dared.
“Maybe I wantyours,” she answered with a grin. “I can feel your eyes. It would be a bit rude for me to ignore you, wouldn’t it?”
Oros scanned her face before a rare smile pulled at her lips, but she still didn’t ask. Not that I would’ve expected her to. Mysister could be seen as somewhat shy at times. And to have the human directly ask her probably threw her off-kilter more than it would me.
It’s her first day in the palace, and she’s already so full of surprises.
The human smirked and then turned away, only to stop beside me, meeting my gaze before walking straight past.
Why didn’t she ask me?
I expected her to. That’s how it often worked—Oros would not answer or ignore people, and they would turn to me for an answer instead.
But she didn’t
“Well,Iwant to know your name, darling,” I said, walking after her.
It was more of a need by that point.I internally kicked myself for not asking sooner while kicking myself for giving in when I should have made her ask me.
She never even looked back. She just continued walking the path of the garden, her blue gown swishing around her with each step.
How dare she?I thought, just as I quickened my pace, needing to catch up to her.
I’ve never seen a human like her before.
I had seen some talk back to demons, with undesirable consequences. Some even had their own agendas and tried to fit in, but none were outright playful.
It drew me in before I could realize what was happening.
I was a wild animal, and she was dangling fresh meat right in front of me. I was going for it. Even though I should have thought that she might jerk that meat away at the last second.
I didn’t.
All I could see was my goal.
All I can see is her.
“Is this a game?” I asked with a playful tone.
“You can know it when your twin asks,” she said.
Does the human want my sister and not me?
This had me stopping and looking back at Oros, who was still standing in the same spot we left her.
She looked dumbstruck. Well… It wasn’t often someone set their eyes on Oros.She was quiet, broody, and typically only talked when she wanted to stir up trouble.
People were more afraid of her than they were of me. And for a good reason. I barked, but she straight-up bit.
