It started like every other stage — lights flashing, fans screaming, music pounding like a heartbeat in the floor.

The moment I stepped onto the stage, I saw her.

My girl. My sunshine. My human.

She stood at the edge of the platform, mic in hand, face lit up like a star, voice echoing in my head even before she started singing.

She looked like she belonged to another world.

Maybe she did. Maybe that’s what made it hurt even more.

I was never supposed to fall in love with her.

That wasn’t part of the plan.

We were demons. We were danger.

But then she laughed at one of my dumb jokes. She rolled her eyes when I flirted and then smiled anyway.

She called me annoying, but she held my hand when no one was looking.

She made me want to be something I’m not.

Tonight was supposed to be perfect — Huntrix and Saja Boys on one stage, one epic collaboration.

But everything started falling apart the second she looked at me during her entrance.

Her steps slowed. Her eyes scanned the boys.

She saw it.

The glowing patterns on our skin, hidden from most humans… except for demon hunters.

She’s a hunter. The best of them. I should’ve remembered that.

But I was too busy loving her to care.

She kept singing, but I saw it in her eyes — the fear, the confusion, the heartbreak.

She almost missed her cue. Her hands were shaking.

And yet, she didn’t stop the performance.

That’s my girl. Strong, professional, fierce… even when her heart is breaking.

After the show, she wouldn’t look at me.

She grabbed Rumi, Mira and Zoey, whispering urgently. Tried to get them away from us. From me.

But then something else happened. She froze.

Rumi didn’t look surprised. Neither did Zoey. Even Mira, just gave her that quiet look she never had.

They knew.

They all knew what I was. And they never told her.

And just like that, I saw her world crack. Not because I’m a demon. But because the people she trusted most — her sisters, her family — kept it from her.

I was the lie, but they were the silence.

I watched her walk away.

No tears. Just distance.

Like she needed space before everything inside her shattered.

I wanted to run to her, explain everything, tell her how much I love her. But what do I say?

“Hey, babe. I’m a demon. But I swear I’d never hurt you.”

Would that even matter now?

I never wanted to lie to her. But I couldn’t tell her the truth.

Not when I was scared she’d run, or worse… hunt me.

And now I might’ve lost her forever.

But I won’t give up.

Not on her. Not on us.

Even if I have to stand between her blade and my brothers, even if I have to fight every part of what I am… I’ll do it.

For her.

Because loving her made me feel human.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s worth the war coming.

So if she ever knows how i felt for her, this… love i felt for her, I never meant to hurt you.

I was just madly in love you, and that made me want you to be safe all the time, even if i had to hide the true to save you.

But if you want the truth right?

I’m yours — demon or not.

I am the man who will love you Forever.
