Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu

Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that

Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc

Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
