Excerpt:
"Love a human! Prince Nyx, how dare you!"
King Knox shouted at his son. He jumped to his feet, and the staff clenched so tightly that it trembled. King Knox's face reddened, each wrinkle stretched and stuck together to express utter anger. He looked like a raging thunder about to come and hit the heads of the two people on the opposite side.
But standing in front of him now were two people who seemed so small and weak, Nyx and Anna.
"Dad, I know it! But she's my life partner, my other half! I love her, and please accept her. "
Seeing her father's hurricane coming and anticipating what was about to happen, Nyx pushed Anna behind her to protect her. But he still did not show weakness. He refuted his father and wanted to prove to him that he was not afraid and would not, for any reason, abandon the person he loved.
"Earthman can not be our mate! We are a hundred times nobler than them. And Nyx, don't forget that you're the next King. You should marry a potential Zylian woman! Not some lowly creature!" The King shouted as he slammed his staff on the ground. The tremendous power released shook the ground, and the whole palace also let out growling sounds as if protesting the young lovers in the opposite direction.
"Don't put Anna down. She is more than capable of being a queen! 'He yelled as his father sighed.
"Guards! Capture Prince Nyx and kill the girl human!" Finally, the King commanded what Nyx and Anna feared the most as their eyes widened.
"ARE NOT!" Nyx shouted as millions of guards ran towards them with weapons. At this moment, Anna suddenly felt his body shake. She panicked, stunned for a moment. She quickly guessed that Nyx's power was being activated.
"Nyx, Nyx, calm down, don't get excited..." Anna reached out and grabbed Nyx's hand, trying to tell him to calm down, but it was too late. At this moment, a golden light radiated from his body. The surroundings began to shake, the soldiers rushing towards them stopped, and the King's eyes darkened. The power from Nyx's body was so strong that Anna was also thrown out and fell to the ground; she shouted:
"Nyx, calm down; you have to control your power…."
She doesn't know what bad could happen if this situation continues. Anna thought so until the light in front of her went out, she slowly lowered her arm covering her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of her, he reached out his hand to her and said:
"I will protect you until my last breath." At Anna's surprised gaze, Nyx leaned down and hugged her tightly.

Five years ago, aliens attacked planet earth. The peace on earth disappeared as the planet's surface became a field of war and a hunting ground. The creatures that invaded the world looked exactly like normal humans. No difference was noted. But they have powers, abilities, and humans on earth don't have. Their eyes glow when their muscles are activated. They magically summon weapons. They killed many innocent people, be it men, women, old, young, or anyone they came across. Humans are forced to take shelter underground. Food and water are scarce. No one dared to go out because the situation outside was not safe. The surface of the earth is both dark and dangerous.
They - those aliens are called Zylians.
They are the advanced species of the galaxy. They take pride when they go into space to conquer other planets. King Zylian was always proud of his youngest son, Prince Nyx, and decided to pass the throne to him. But no one imagined that the young prince would fall in love with Anna, a human girl.
And that's exactly how she met him. She never knew the man she had saved was the prince of the enemy world. She never knew she would love him. He claims her to be his destined confidant. It's a love forbidden by King Zylian, and now they must do whatever it takes to protect their love.

"Dad!! Come on, and we'll miss the bus!!" Anna yelled as she quickly put on her shoes.
"Slow down. You'll fall, Anna. I'll drive you if you miss the school bus," Dad replied as he walked down the stairs, adjusting his tie. The bus stop is a 5-minute drive from her house, and her father always takes her there. But today, she and her father overslept because they spent the night celebrating her 15th birthday. As always, the two of them got into the car, and she turned on the radio and started singing along.
But at this moment, Anna's father suddenly turned and asked:
"Did you bring an umbrella, Anna? It looks like it's going to rain heavily. "Her father said when she answered yes. She looked up at the sky and cringed as another lightning bolt flashed. The winds were strong, and to be honest, it looked like a tornado was coming.
But quickly, Anna's mind left the sky, and she began to get lost in the melody of the song she was listening to. At this moment, her father suddenly opened her bag.
"Did you remember to bring your books? Pens, ah, pepper spray."
This is a very normal everyday thing because, almost every day, Anna's father will remind her to bring enough books and school supplies. But today, when she heard her father mention pepper spray, her mind suddenly woke up. She immediately sat up, took off her headphones, and saw her father put a spray bottle in her bag...
Anna's eyes lit up.
"Pepper spray? Dad??" She asked, amused.
"Yes. It would be best if you were prepared. What if a boy comes towards you?" Anna's father patted her head and said seriously while she let out a hearty laugh. Some people say that no matter how mature you are, in your parents' eyes, you will always be a child. Anna's father always felt that she was too small and this world was too full of pitfalls. Many people may find him overthinking, but he always wanted to protect her. And Anna also loves her father very much. Since her mother died when she was five years old, her father is the only family she has.
As Anna was turning to smile at her father, at this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the front of the bus. This sudden incident caused the car to brake suddenly, and Anna almost hit her head on the front seat. She screamed, and her father rushed to catch her. Suddenly, with a bang, the car crashed into some unidentified object. The passengers in the vehicle all fell from their seats, and screams rang. Anna tried to find a place to hold on, but after a while of shaking, the car finally stopped. She raised her head but then found that there was nothing in front of the bus.
The car hit something!
Why…
Anna was still surprised and confused when the car rushed forward and braked. The impact sent her flying along, but a hand caught her in time, helping her not to hit the glass. The car sped through the air and crashed to the ground. All windows were broken, groans were heard everywhere, and all passengers were injured.
"Dad!!!" She screamed as she felt pain all over her body.
" Calm down ... I'm here, baby Anna. Calm down. Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere ?" When the car was really stable, Anna's father hurriedly asked her, his voice sounded weak but also full of anxiety.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" She asked, almost crying; the impact just now scared her a bit.
" I'm fine, and it's okay. Listen, Anna, now I want you to slowly unbuckle your seat belt and get out of the car. Be careful not to step on the glass. Okay..." Her father said harshly hard work.
"What about you? If I leave without you, what will happen to me... " At this moment, Anna could not turn her head to look at her father because her head and neck were damaged; every movement, no matter how gentle it was, brought excruciating pain. The seat belt tightened Anna, and the belongings and luggage of the guests around were also pushed forward and separated her father and son. She felt a warm liquid flowing from her body and falling to the ground. Anna didn't know what part of her body had been hit by the glass, but now she was struggling and in pain.
But this physical pain was probably only half of the emotional distress, and she feared what would happen to her father. If he had any fate, she would know what to do. Anna asked, fear beginning to grow. She couldn't lose her father. He was the only person she had left in her life.
"I'll be fine, baby. I was hoping you could run to the nearest gas station and tell them about this. Remember that I love you and won't let anything happen to you. Be the best. A girl who is brave and always kind and helps others," her father said as he started coughing. At this time, the smell of oil was also coming from the car. Through the broken window, Anna could see the front of the vehicle was also smoking. She guessed what was going on.
"Hurry up, and we don't have much time. " Her father continued. At this point, Anna was also aware of the problem. She nodded and tried to unbuckle her seat belt. A sharp pain shot through her knee, and then she saw a shard of glass pierce the flesh of her knee. Anna crawled out and shouted back :
"Daddy, come on! You'll get help!"
"Be careful!" She ran towards the nearest gas station ignoring her pain. Suddenly she heard an explosion, and she quickly turned around to find her car on fire.
