Chapter One Hundred and Eighty One

ALIYAH'S POV

I spent most of my time on the laptop Daemon had gifted me. Sometimes, I watched movies; other times, I looked up information about magical creatures. Turns out humans did suspect that non-human beings roamed the earth, but out of fear for the unknown they dismissed these theories as 'fairy tales' or 'myths.'

Daemon had been distant lately, and it troubled me. Speaking about the devil. I spotted a note on the table. I picked it up, a small smile curving on my face.

'Meet me at the yard.' the note read.

For some reason, I had imagined that Daemon's handwriting would be perfect- just like everything else about him—but the words looked as if they were written by a seven-year-old. I found it both funny and cute.

I headed to the yard and spotted him standing with his back to me. I stopped halfway. The man waiting was a bit shorter and thinner than Daemon, with dirty blonde hair.

As if sensing my presence, he turned to me. That was definitely not Daemon. I should have taken advantage of his brief hesitation to run back into the house, but I was frozen in place. There was something about his unique gold eyes-they seemed familiar. I felt like I knew him but couldn't recall where I had seen him before. A part of me was certain this wasn't our first meeting.

"That's because it's not."

Had I said that out loud?

"No. But I can sense your questions-plus your facial expressions give everything away.'

He walked to me.
