Three months. It had been three months since Aeliana and I officially became a couple, and I was as happy as a demon could be.
Not that I'd admit it to anyone besides her, of course. Just thinking about her made my chest swell with a strange warmth, the kind that could probably drive lesser demons insane. Love was a different kind of battlefield, one I wasn't used to, but Aeliana made it worth every damn moment.
Unfortunately, today wasn't about cozy moments or soft words. I was out here in the middle of some forsaken corner of the land, on a mission to track down a few rogue demons who'd taken a liking to causing havoc.
Not exactly a thrilling task, but keeping the peace was part of the job description, thanks to my mother and her position as the demon queen. I had some royal responsibilities, though I preferred pretending I didn't most of the time.
