Devlin's p.o.v.
The fever came so sudden,it was unexpected as I was not supposed to have felt any illness.
When she had attempted to go call the doctor,I had stopped her.he didn't want questions later,he hoped he had diverted her attention for now.
But he wasn't prepared for the peace he felt with her in his, caring for him.the demon realm didn't have an inkling on how to care,they were right to wonder if he was truly the son of the demon king.
Been the second most powerful didn't help matters,as foes tried to gain his powers by killing him and preventing any too intimate relationships with any human as this would spell doom for them.
If he was to produce an offspring from a fated one,their child's power would be much greater than the parents and their demon rival Salim who want to avoid that.
Salim was my father's brother from another father but the same mother,his son was the cousin who was trying so hard to take my crown.His father been locked up in the human world,till his family find a way.
Demon spirit had retreated,it fumed as mirabelle touched my forehead expressing signs of worry.
He had been in bliss, demon spirit didn't want her,she was the most oblivious opposite of him.Their union would only being more problems on both realms.
The way Mirabelle had inched in close, not crossing the line but showing her boldness, had Devlin going crazy.
Finding her with him on the bed,she had fallen asleep because that was the only way she was there.If only he could lean forward a few inches and allow his body to do the talking, then he might have better odds, but that was no longer an option.
Devlin liked how good it felt the closer they
got. His heart thundering behind his rib cage, his limbs heavy from his restraint to grab behind her neck and yank her against his entire body.
But he stilled,what of if he hurts her.he was starting to like her,not because she was pretty,she exuded confidence.
His mind returned back to when she gave him a long, scrutinizing look that made
something in devlin's stomach squirm.
He suppressed the urge to fidget and touch his hair, unsure why he felt so agitated. Fuck, no other person had ever unsettled him as much as this woman did.
He had ran a temperature, he chuckled lightly.his thoughts running amok.
Before he had woken up,she was gone replaced by....
Ah....demon spirit but his lips" ain't she the most the most vile thing in the world.
That was a new thing,who would give such a praise to his... Wife.
He rose,I reluctantly.
Coming close to me,she held my hands" babe, what's smelling?she said making a face.
Puzzled,I stared at her.
Ugh.. don't tell me you didn't know that the detective reeked.her eyes showing contempt.
Before he could stop demon spirit,"I will ask to staff to disinfect the house, it said.
Devlin fumed.
Well I gave you time to stare at your crush didn't I? Then you went overboard.
So,you want to do your own business now? I asked.
Demon spirit affirmed,she would be good for that problem of controlling shares, leaving us more time.
More time to do what, exactly? I wanted to ask.but he did make point,but how where they going to achieve that.

Later that day after find a little bit of information about my supposed wife whom this body had taken as exchange to a big business deal which took effect if he married their daughter.
The late CEO had no problem with that and the marriage was done and dusted but with not much publicity.
After which a few months,she disappeared only to be seen now.
Where had she been all this year's? His mind flashed back to mirabelle's sleeping face,he would have consented to have her on his bed not this woman who's entire body looked like plastic.
...he had not slept with anyone,this past few weeks and it was starting to affect him, evidence been na human fever.
But he would have to ...
Her face flashed again,he rubbed his eyes and sighed softly,only to be slam dunked with hunger.
He waited through another lengthy silence, his mind flooding with questions,the butler had not yet been caught right? Mirabelle was reevaluating everything now, before long she would find out.
Demon spirit was of no use when she was around as soon as I thought that,an image of bloody flesh hit me.it had not been so evident when mirabelle was around but now...
Stumbling as I got up,Alicia,this body's wife turned from her cooking." Hi babe,she smiled.
Demon spirit jumped happily, pushing me to go take a hold of her and lay with her.
I cringed,not happy about that prospect.I felt as if I was someone was twisting my insides.I left the house .
.....
Growling and panting from the strain of moving,I flew looking for a life force as soon as night fell.
Entering the homes of sleeping humans, draining their life force, some had religious things which made me flew the place, demon spirit cussing vehemently.
It wasn't enough,I changed my appearance into that of a rich well dressed man and finally spotted a group of gangs which followed me,I pretending to be wary.
I chanted the word come as they came, spittle dripping from the corners of my mouth as demon spirit waited impatiently for them to come closer.
I was too weak to use telepathy to read their minds,they came closer, a voice which was oddly my own screeched malevolently and lunged with wickedly pointed hands that were shaped like talons.
Devlin was no more,I was becoming one with what I was supposed to be, a demon who brought woes.
And mirabelle would not be able to change him,because demon spirit knew she would be the one,an obstacle to them and he would not let that happen.
Demon spirit would make Devlin reprocreat with his wife at home.he would make Devlin hate mirabelle.
The men halted, looking around themselves what had made them so still and in a place.they tried to free themselves but to no avail,the rich looking man had turned into the most vile looking creature.
They watch with trepidation as he launched at them screaming obscenities and he bit on one of them cutting down the rest in a brutal fashion, leering.
The prey had become the predator.the man closed his eyes as the sharp looking talons hit him.what mysterys was this modern world still hiding.
Demin spirit slashed and yelped, excitement building as they came down like trees been caught down, horror evident on their faces.
He bent down and put the flesh in his mouth,today he would leave no traces for detective mirabelle.
He was so engrossed in his act that he didn't see and notice someone standing there,eyes which if we're possible would have left their sockets,mouth agape, disbelief plain.
It was when he felt the presence of a cool soothing presence that the real Devlin got control and standing up looked to see who it was already dreading it.
Detective mirabelle had overcomed her shock as the thing got up and metamorphosed back into ....Devlin?
She lifted her gun.you are under arrest.
It...Devlin cocked his head to the side,his drop dead gorgeous face stained with blood.
Oops, a girly and hate filled voice came from it.
Before she could have an knowledge of what was the reason for the oops and the girl voice.
She was hit from behind so hard she saw blank,the last thing she saw... Devlin was at her face leering,eyes dead.
