"Come back home" he whispers against my lips and those words are enough to snap me back to reality.

"What did you just say?" I ask calmly but I'm fuming silently and I'm pretty sure he can see how tight my fists are clenched. We've probably been here for maybe ten or fifteen minutes. I don't know, I guess time passes when you're making out with a demon.


"Come back to Dapphion" he says, "No" I answer with finality in my tone. With my tone, he stares at me with anger in his eyes "What do you mean 'No'?"

"Exactly what 'no' means" I cross my arms, "I have been patient with you for a lo--"

"Please don't tell me you took me on a date just to butter me up" I hold out my palm "what? No, I took you on a date because I wanted to" I sigh in relief.

I don't think I would be able to hold my anger in if he told me he only took me out so I could come back. "I'm not returning to Dapphion anytime soon" he throws his arms up in annoyance.

"What else do you want me to do?! You know what? You will come back crawling to me! You can't stay away from me for long!"

"Watch me!" I yell and walk away while grumbling angrily, and here I thought he was turning a new leaf. I still heard him yell out some nonsense but I didn't wait to listen.

Instead, I slammed the door to my room closed, loud enough for him to hear. I yelp when I enter my room to see a furious Logan.

"Did you sleep with him?!" Can't I get a rest from the citizens of Dapphion? Why, oh, why do they wish to rumble with me. "Answer me Aurora!" I jump at his tone, Logan has never yelled at me "What?" I ask dumbly "Did you sleep with Xanthus?!"

"What I do is none of your business Logan!" He grips onto my throat and makes me back up."Answer the damn question! I'm really angry now so don't test me" not only am I being choked, but my mark is also burning me, what did I do to deserve this?

"No Logan, let me go!" I push him away, he moves away from me as if he wasn’t aware he was choking me. "Oh, my- Aurora. I'm so sorry, I wasn't-- what have I done?" He grips his hair in frustration.

"You said you didn't do anything with him, then why do you reek of him? He came back last night and all I could smell was your scent on him" yeah we also made out yesterday like a lot, I blush as I remember "We might have done other personal stuff" his eyes darken as he stares at me before he breaks down in tears, "Logan..." I have no idea why tears are flowing freely from his eyes. "He won again" now it's riddles.

"I don't understand" I sit beside him on my bed "My father usually compares me to him, and I try my best to meet up to with his expectations but it's like it doesn't matter what I do because to him Xanthus is the son he’s always wanted, I gave up on trying to make him happy, I stopped being competitive with Xanthus, that's why I was on Earth the day I met you. My father called me home to marry a princess but I didn't want to so I went home to explain to him that it took time. The only good thing in my life was you and it's you that’s the cause of my happiness but now my cousin has you! He just couldn't let me be happy"

"Logan," I hug him "You hate me, the only person who managed to make me happy hates me" I pat his back "I don't hate you, I care about you more than you know, I was mad that you left me but I can't stay mad at forever" he stares at me "Really?"

"Can I kiss you?" I sigh and wipe his eyes "I can't kiss you, Logan, first I'm with Xanthus and my mark wouldn't let me even if I wanted to" I explain as his face falls "Can I at least sleep here with you? I promise I won't bother you anymore after this,  please just let me hold you one last time" he pleads and I nod "Let me just change into something else" when I'm finished changing in the bathroom, I walk back into my room to see Logan sitting on my bed with his legs crossed while squeezing my pillow to death "You're going to murder my pillow if you continue squeezing it that way" he releases my pillow with a small laugh, I slip into the bed and Logan holds me close.

My mark burns but I take the herbs to reduce the burning feeling on my neck "Aurora" Logan says after minutes of silence "I want you to know that I will always love you" I stay quiet because I know I don't feel anything for him anymore, my heart belongs to someone else who pissed me off today. With those thoughts swirling around in my head, I fall asleep.

The next morning I wake up to find Logan's side cold and empty, a yawn escapes my lips as I remember yesterday’s events,  yeah, a lot of drama. I take a bath and move to the kitchen to make toast, the only thing I can do without hurting myself. I see a sticky note on the table and pick it up to see. 

“went to the store be back later

-Mom

Great! I’m home alone, which means I can watch adult movies without worrying about my parents coming down. As I sit down on the couch I hear the doorbell ring "Why?!" I scream to no one. I open the door to see Xanthus standing outside with a blue rose. I cross my arms and stare at him with my eyebrows raised up "I'm sorry about what I said yesterday" my heart softens but my expression doesn't.

"I just want you to come back, everyone misses you and so do I" I guess staying here isn't really wise since I have duties back in Dapphion. I invite him in and switch the TV on, adult movies for me today yayy!

"I have conditions I need you to allow if I am to come back" his face lights up "Go on" I sigh. "I should be allowed to visit my parents and friends whenever I wish to. Also, I don't want guards following me everywhere" I finish with a smile. "Yes to the first condition but no to the second" I stare at him "Then I'm not coming back!"

He sighs in frustration "Fine! I agree" I clap happily, I guess I'm returning to Dapphion. I couldn't even stay on Earth for a month. "I'm waiting for my parents" he nods and gets comfortable on the seat.

My parents return from the store an hour later "Aurora and Asmodeus? What are you doing here?" My dad demands and I flinch at his tone. Xanthus shrugs "I'm waiting for my mate to tell you she's coming back with me!" I see shock on my parent's faces.

Jerk! I didn't ask him to tell them, I was going to break it to them gently.

"Is this true?" My mom asks, Isabelle looks teary and Ernest hugs me tightly "Mom..." I say and she nods and hugs me "That's it? That’s all you have to say?" My dad asks, he was expecting my mom to make a fuss "Rick, she has responsibilities, she's a queen"

"Almost a queen" I butt in and she sends me a glare while Xanthus sighs, "I promise to visit once every three months," I say to Isabelle, "okay, I decided to give therapy a try," she says and I hug my siblings then my parents "Tell Hollie I'll visit her in three months," I say as Xanthus opens a portal and I close my eyes, when I open them I see that we aren't in front of the castle instead we're in front of a house made of wood.

"Uh... Did you forget the portal to the Castle?" I ask as I stare at the beautiful wooden house "No, living in the castle seems a little bit dramatic"

"You think?" I ask sarcastically and he rolls his eyes "So I built this,"

"You really built it?" It looks like a two-story building except it's made from wood. "Yeah" he answers proudly and I place a kiss on his cheek "It's beautiful" a tint of pink appears on his cheeks "Are you blushing?" I ask and laugh as he glares at me "shut up" he picks me up and presses his lips on mine.
