Claimed By The Ashen Lord
678 Views · Ongoing · jasminepearl008
Ariella is caged in a city beneath the world, prisoner to a demon lord, surrounded by enemies who want her dead and is always dragged back anytime she tried to run. She hates him, and the only person she trusted is the one who handed her to him without a word.
The Demon lord has kept his heart in a grave for two hundred years. He does not explain, does not soften. And when Ariella spits her hatred at him, he takes it without flinching. But he doesn't let her go. He can't. Something pulls between them every time she's near, fire light up in his skin, the unbearable knowledge that he is not ready to lose her.
Queen Lavinia has been patient for centuries. She has loved him across lifetimes. And this girl with no title and knowledge, has done what Lavinia never could. But she does not lose. She has killed for far less than this.
The demon caged Ariella, and the harder she fights to escape him, the deeper she sinks into the one thing she can't afford to feel.
And she's starting to hate herself more for not hating him enough.
