The Demon’s Bride

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. “Master Ian!” She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?” “Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance. “Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.” His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.” He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.” Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. *** This book is ORIGINAL and it is not Translation Join Author's discord: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

Your Heartbeats Against My Ears-II

The waves spread wide like a mountain, wanting to eat her alive. Elise's eyes glared brighter with hint of redness as she raised her hand, letting jet to burst out from her palms, creating a barrier wide enough to cover the boat from being consumed by the waves. While Elise wanted to breathe out in relief, she realized it wasn't the end as the serpent had quickly arrived behind her, rushing toward her. 

Elise clicked her tongue, pushing herself on the other end of the boat and duck down as the serpent was about to take a taste bite on her. During the fight, the creature didn't help her. Instead, he continued to row the boat as if her life didn't matter to him but then Elise didn't expect him to. As she was about to board the boat, he had made it clear to her that her life isn't his protection nor his concern.

And it seemed the creature was also correct about how all the creatures roaming under their boat would only attack the living, in this case, it was her.
