Although demons relied on instinct and pull to recognize their mate, Emily wasn't sure how it happened but as soon as she had laid her eyes on Joel's video clip, a memory popped into her head.
A rush of emotions swirled in her mind, which had made her eyes glow bright red, and the word 'mate' had left her lips on their own.The memory contained her and Joel during an intimate moment. It switches from different moments in a flash as if those are treasured memories she had forgotten.But how could that be?It was hers and Nimalaya's first time in the human realm, and she never had a mate before coming, not that they could be blessed with more than one in a lifetime anyways.It felt absurd to her.She shook off the memories, believing it to be signs of recognizing her mate.She recalled the day she had met the witch.******Nima had just strolled out to feel fresh air before returning to the one she found comfortable.Maybe due to Gama's patience and support during the time she was desperate to have her other half, who had been bestowed upon her by fate.She just felt repulsed by everyone and everything. That feeling only surfaced after she had given up on ever finding her mate.She preferred to be around Gama, whom she neither liked nor disliked, but somehow, he had become the only person she had.She cherished him, not out of love, but the company. He was always there, and she couldn't imagine how heartbroken she would be each passing day if Gama hadn't been in her life.She hadn't walked too far when a bright golden light illuminated a few distance from her.She stood still, knowing it must be the work of a witch.Heck! They must have thought she was an easy catch, but had they been wrong?Oh yeah.Maybe because she never joined Gama in dealing with demons and other species of darkness that crossed them.She waited for the person to appear and burn whoever it was with her eternal blue fall that couldn't be extinguished by anything.She couldn't explain why, but as soon as the figure appeared from the magic circle, Nimalaya felt her demon crawl under her skin as if wanting to consume her and completely took over.Her demon was very sensitive to the witch as if the witch had done something that had shattered her heart. As if the witch was the one who cursed her to not have a mate.Nimalaya couldn't explain it and just gave it her own meaning while suppressing her demon, who had been tamed quickly because it seemed to be as confused as Nimalaya."I'm Kira." The witch had said, but Nimalaya could tell she sensed her animosity towards her, based on how she took a few steps back and stared at her intensely."Scram. I don't know why, but I feel so angry towards you. Don't make me rip you apart, so just go." Nimalaya said to the witch and tried to leave."Aren't you curious if you have a mate?" Kira asked and saw the body of Nimalaya stiffened.When she turned around, her eyes were blazing red, while a blue flame began to dance on her palm."I told you to scram!" She had warned.The witch looked horrified, and then determination overshadowed her fear."I saw a vision. I can take you to where your mate is. He existed. You're blessed with one." Kira said quickly like her life depends on it, and in an instance, the scary girl had become vulnerable and with a shivering tone, "I want one. I feel incomplete without one."Kira nodded in understanding, being aware that Nimalaya still carried her emotions in her past life. Hence, she became sensitive. It was more scary that she couldn't explain what was making her feel like that.Gesturing for Nimalaya to follow her, Kira took her for a walk and explained to her how her mate is a human.Nimalaya hadn't thought twice before begging to be taken there.Kire proceeded to tell her how she would lose her powers if she went to the human realm, but there is a solution that would help her experience human ways and still have her demon by her side.The demon would be transferred into a human as its vessel and carry their memories, while Nimalaya would have to live as a human oblivious to who she was, because only then would she encounter her mate, because no matter what, fate will bring them together.Once the vessel dies, the demon would instantly go back to Nimalaya's body, and her memories as a demon would merge. She would be Nimalaya, a demon once again, and who knows what would happen.Demon could get head over heels for their mate at a few glances, but their mate being a human is not so favorable, because even if they get attracted to them, it doesn't mean they would be in love with them.They might even resist the bond if they lose interest. Humans would just shrug it off and think they don't fit, but it was a whole different case for a demon.It might go on a rampage.Nimalaya detested people near her. Hence, the split and her demon being separate from her is a good idea.Who knows if her temperament would chase away her mate or create a rift between what they could build.All this was done secretly without Gama's knowledge.Nimalaya felt it would be unfair to tell him she found her mate before leaving. It's better to make him think she's dead or just disappeared.....Back at the present.Emily, being the vessel that contained Nimalaya's demon, felt upset on the inside but still maintained her composure to keep Nima interested in their mate.She can not confuse Nima by telling her who they were. The only thing that would make sense was Emily dying and the demon consciousness returning to Nima's body.Then, Nima would recall her life as a demon and know that this man must be claimed at all costs.But it was from that moment Nima would start to lose her demonic power little by little.Emily had slept with a lot of men, being a creature of darkness, lust, and desires. She could do as she wanted.She had hypnotized humans and drank some of their blood to quench her hunger.Everything would surely be different with their mate, and not being able to be in Nima's body and be with their mate together is like torture.More than ever, Emily wants to forgo the risk and kill the body she resided in to go back to Nima.Then, they can have Joel together.Joel had felt awkward after he apologized to Nima. Of course, she would be enraged if she didn't roll the way he supposed.Unable to digest the fact that she could be offended by his approach, he opened one of Nima's videos."Remember, beauties, there's nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to expressing yourself with your man. Take him to a level he never thought existed in sexual activities. Now, let's explore a new style, beautiful people.'That was one of the additions to Nima's opening speech. Joel played it repeatedly, his body growing hot as he listened to her sultry voice spitting those appealing words.A message notification soon popped up, and upon seeing the content, his excitement that Nima reached out to him died down.From their previous interaction, she seemed to be curious, yet careful, but the person who typed the message he read was very direct.If his memory serves him right, she blocked him twice and indicated the conversation was over the moment she refused to lis
"Someone is excited." Emily teased Nima, but she herself couldn't wait.The urge to merge with Nima just grew stronger as of the moment she saw Joel.Nima might not understand it, but she was able to be this accepting because naturally, her demon felt the bond pull and notified the host to claim their mate together. Emily being there had made the acceptance get easier for Nima, despite the absurdity of the situation.The incoming video call was soon received, and a piercing silvery brown orbs gaze at them from the monitor. Nima cringed at the intensity in his gaze, while a rush of excitement overwhelmed her body like it didn't belong to her. The man on the opposite side of the call looked just as compelling as he did in his pictures and the video he sent previously. His nose is well chiseled, and silvery brown orbs penetrating Nima's soul like no secret can escape him. He looked absent-minded for a brief second, but then he flashed them a killer smile.His teeth are so white and we
"It's no problem. That's a past story now." Nima shrugged.Silent fell upon them as he stared at her intensely, and she did the same."Word failed me, angel. I can't say too much now, as it would feel like a lie, but I hope we can slowly reach places where I could explain to you that it feels like I've known you for long. I feel drawn to you so badly that it confused me even. And baby, I hate being confused cause I'm a man of control." Joel finally broke the silence. Nima made a thoughtful look. "Well, you said it already, even though you begin your sentence like you weren't ready to confess such. And of course, it felt like a lie, so better let's start from simplicity." Nima retorted, watching him sweep his tongue over his bottom lip and swept his hand through his silky hair.Nima's hand itched. As if she were there to do that for him.Her throat felt dry, imagining him sweeping that tongue over her own lips.Although she doesn't want to believe him, she also feels exactly as he ex
"Calm down, Nima." Emily chuckled in amusement. "How can I calm down. I can't imagine myself in the midst of people. You know how long it takes for me to start opening the door fully for the delivery guy to see me.You know, I only take strolls at night time to limit the number of eyes I could lock mine with.I don't know how this man didn't irritate me, but what if my inability to withstand people makes him think I'm weird and he chases me away?" Nima looked exasperated. Worried edged her feature as she began to pace back and forth in front of Emily, which just stared at her with a smile edged in her face.Immerse joy was all she could feel.Without knowing it, Nima's stagnant life is finally having some glow. It was starting to have excitement as well as ups and downs.She was starting to worry like any other human could.When she put her mind to sleep, the body she hosted had so many things she worry about also and although she compelled those she worked for whenever she took her
The next morning, Joel stepped out of his apartment building with his assistant by his side.He had plans to pick his friend from the airport, but had his assistant come take the files he worked on for half the night, after using the other half to think about Nima.It felt like the perfect timing for his best friend to arrive because he couldn't wait to share his feelings with someone. And who better than the man he had known since they were kids.While Joel is quirky for his odd attitude, his friend is more smooth of a man.He doesn't joke much, but doesn't act mean either. He's just your normal simple guy, with his loyalty being one of his amazing traits.He could also be a workaholic like Joel, but unlike Joel having two occupations, his friend was set on one goal and that was to bring his company high enough to rival his friend's home, but that never happened. Yet he never gave up and took on the challenge. He rarely stays in one place for long.Joel was in the best mood ever.G
Joel had dropped his assistant at the company before heading towards the airport. As promised, it didn't take him more than 20 minutes to get there.He stepped out of his Lexus ride and raised his brow when he spotted his friend with a big sun shade covering half his face, while standing in an imposing manner, as if waving people off from him.Joel spotted him easily. Even if the man had his back towards him, he would still recognize him. He was about to call him to come out of the lounge anyway, but it appears his friend had been waiting for him.His eyes searched the inside of each car that arrived intensely, under his shade, and it didn't take long for their eyes to meet.Taking large strides towards Joel, he soon caught up with Joel, who had done the same.As if he wasn't the one cursing Joel on the phone earlier, they both shared a friendly hug. "Welcome, bro. Sorry I came late." Joel said as they parted."Let's just leave. Thanks for coming to pick me up." Adam replied, walking t
Inside an average looking bar that managed to host big shots and normal individuals, due to the management, activities, special services, and security, Joel could be seen discussing some things with Adam. The club was filled with people, and through the VIP booth they were seated in, they could see how people were having a nice time through the transparent glass.In front of them was a cream coloured table with 2 glasses of light yellow wines that still had half their content.A waiter was at a standby to fill their glass once they were done.One of the privileges of taking a VIP booth.Also, a reason for the club to be well frequented by people. They offer special service. The waiter was a female who was dressed to seduce. They were only in charge of VIP customers and offered special services if the customer is interested. She was asked to stay outside due to them having a private talk. Hence, both friends were left to their privacy.They engrossed in a serious conversation. Joel
"Gosh!" Nima exclaimed as the memory of her conversation with Joel surfaced in her memory.She wondered if she was being too forward, but can she help it?She felt so attracted to Joel to the point that she couldn't explain it. The moment she gave in and had decided to meet with him, her mind kept drifting to him every now and then.They had picked a date for the dinner date, which had gotten her panicked at first, but Emily had helped her to get over her anxiety. She only has to focus on the man she's meeting.She was currently sitting on her balcony, a small table placed before her, a glass of wine, and a bottle that still holds over half of its content beside it.A novel could also be seen at the edge of the table.She has been trying to read but couldn't concentrate. The novel happened to be a dark romance, which just fueled her desires and imaginations.It got difficult to concentrate on the plot without substituting the events with her imagination of moments with the man she bar
