After demons attacked me, I learned that the man I had been seeing was the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm.
He offered marriage as protection, and I agreed before I understood I would be more than his wife.
The Fates had already foretold that I would rule beside him as his queen.
With his throne still unsecured, he needed an heir, and that duty carried me into his bed night after night.
I cannot stop asking whether this union is only a shield, or whether the Fates truly meant us for each other.
