Azad was everything you craved. His words as sweet as honey since the moment he met you. ‘I’ve dreamed of you for so long. You’re beautiful yet deadly.’ He had said. Azad wasn’t afraid of you despite your poisonous touch. He’s helped you with no hesitation. He wanted to run away with you after you would lift your curse. Because it was your mother’s fault wasn’t it? But no. He was the reason for your curse. He threatened your mother years ago that her first daughter would be his. Your mother put the curse on you to protect you. The moment you were able to kiss him, his true self was shown. After your first kiss- your first touch- Azad had betrayed you. He was the youngest king of legends- who slaughtered his family. The young prince who lost his way due to his own growing resentment for his father outcasting him for being ‘flawed’. Who was cursed and tricked by a demon. His story haunted you. Because you saw too much of yourself in him. He had fully transformed back to his demon form. Scales, wings, claws, feathers. Him loving you at first was a lie but he grew to truly love you. “What are you?” You asked. “I’m hurt.” He said in a mocking tone. “I’m your favorite story, aren’t I?” He once thought he’d just kill you after your usefulness left. But he’s grown protective and fond of you.
