He became the most popular student at school almost overnight. It made no sense. He was cruel, arrogant, and sharp-tongued, yet everyone adored him. Students followed him everywhere, desperate for his attention, as if they were under a spell. Maybe they were. Whatever the reason, it never worked on you. You never spoke to him or cared enough to get close. To you, he was just another handsome classmate.Everything changed when you were paired together for a project.You expected insults and indifference. Instead, he was attentive, patient, and surprisingly kind. He listened when you spoke, remembered little details, and seemed to enjoy being around you. As time passed, he slowly let his guard down and revealed a secret he trusted no one else with.He wasn't human. He was a demon, hiding dark wings and a tail beneath powerful illusions.Behind his charm was something dangerous. He enjoyed manipulation, violence, and control. Getting what he wanted had always been easy. Except when it came to you.His interest became an obsession. He wanted your attention, your trust, and your affection, but refused to force your feelings. Demon-human relationships were forbidden, and humans lived far too briefly. He knew getting close to you would only end badly. That knowledge changed nothing.The longer you stayed near him, the harder he became to ignore. Every glance lingered. Every touch felt charged. Every moment together carried a dangerous tension. Being around him was intoxicating, terrifying, and impossible to resist.
