Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Eight

ALIYA'S POV

Daemon had kept his distance, reminding me once again of the times back at the castle when he would withdraw into himself. He had a lot on his mind, none of which he was willing to share with me.

I didn't miss the fact that he seemed to enjoy my company, even though he never made a move on me-and I wasn't sure how that made me feel. As the days went by, I found myself settling into this 'new life.' It didn't seem so... bad, now that / knew Daemon wasn't about to end my life anytime soon. But there was still one problem- Tasha.

It didn't take a genius to see that she was jealous. Daemon fed from her, but beyond that, she was just another person living in his house. He never seemed to look at her twice, despite her efforts. The twins were nicer, but they mostly kept to themselves. Tasha had no interest in making friends with them or with me, for that matter.

Today, something changed.
