Valca had been pacing outside the sitting room where Arya and his mate's family were talking.
Soon, he saw Natalie's parents and her brother, Marcus rush out of the room, and her mother stared daggers at him.
Just when it began to get uncomfortable, Natalie and Arya burst through the door. His mate was crying.
He felt his heart ache, but he didn't want to interfere between them, as demons had their own set of rules; they never interfered in human lives unless they summoned you to.
"Mom," Natalie ran to her mother, but she didn't even want to hear her out. One word, "Don't." Made Natalie stop.
The mother then turned to Valac, prince of the demon kingdom, and accusingly raised a finger at him, saying, "My daughter is sixteen. She's still a child."
