(From Demetrius's Perspective)
Hearing my name come out of her mouth seemed to be the most tempting melody of all. My heart skipped more than one beat at this. It was too much; her effect on me was crossing the limit now.

"Thank you," she muttered.
"For what?"

My heart constricted cruelly inside my chest as I heard this. I had taken her away from her family, but the way they treated her was something that no one, not even a beast, could do. Her family was going to pay for that. I did not know exactly what they had done, but I knew it was something serious. What kind of parents would sell their daughter to an unknown person?
