Present

Crimson's POV

"Sir we might have spotted Princess Livania" Alessio notified me. How Liv managed to drug me and my staff I would never know.

"Good work, let's go get her back"

Despite the f**king headache I was having I was determined to get my she-wolf back. As I stood up I remembered when she and I decided to split. That had been the worst day of my life.

Past

Liv's POV

"I'm not doing it" Crim growled dangerously. These past few months I was enjoying being in my boyfriend's company. But now Crimson was just told something he didn't want to hear. I was in a meeting with Crimson and some of the other mobsters from Greed.

"Sir you need an heir"

The imp who said that shot me a look of disgust.

"Get your damn eyes off of her and I'm well aware of what is needed to run my empire" Crimson spat.

"She's a royal sir and with all due respect a half-breed child would bring scandal"

Crimson snarled and the next thing everyone knew the imp who had been trash-talking me was dead on the floor. Crim snapped his fingers and the body was dragged out of the room.

"Anyone else want to insult my woman?" Crim asked.

No one else said anything and the meeting was concluded. Once we were alone Crim roared out in fury before throwing a knife into the nearest picture.

"How f*()king dare they" he hissed. The mafia boss then looked at me and picked up my hands into his. "First they say I need to marry a complete stranger, then that ass had the nerve to insult you like that"

He then kissed my hands.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that Liv, no matter what shit anyone pulls I'm not letting you go so easily"

Things however changed when Crim was away on business and I was visiting his home. I had been sleeping when I was awakened by a knife being held at my throat.

"Crimson is a fool to want to keep a royal bitch like you"

My assailant was another mafia imp who worked for one of Crimson's rivals. He then sexually eyed me and he smirked.

"Since your Prince Charming isn't here to save you I'll have some fun"

My intruder however underestimated my power of being a royal and using my shadow magic I managed to get him off of me. The attack shook me up and I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. Crimson was furious when he learned about what happened and the assassin was killed.

"God f**king damn it!" Crim roared throwing the wine glass and it shattered on the floor.

"What is it?"

"I gotta go through the arranged marriage Liv"

"What?! Why?"

"Please Liv don't make this any worse I don't have a choice"

"Bullshit yes you do, tell me the truth Crimson why are you doing this?"

The imp didn't answer and that told me enough.

"So you're not going to fight to keep me" I stated and turned away from him. "Very well it looks like then this is where we part ways"

"I'm sorry Liv"

Crim tried to grab my hand but I pulled it away from him. I left the room and not once did I look back at Crimson. It wasn't until I got back home did I break down into tears.

Present

Nyssa's POV

"Nyssa! I see her!"

I was in my dragon form and Stolas had been on my back as we searched for Liv in the Wrath wasteland. Looking down I saw Livania and she looked tired. I made my descent and no sooner had I touched the ground did Stolas hurry off from my back.

Livania's POV

At seeing Nyssa landing I sped up my walking and the moment I was close enough to Stolas did I throw myself into his arms. The Goetia demon wept uncontrollably and I held his face along with wiping his tears away.

"Are you real?" I asked making sure this wasn't a dream.

"I'm here my Beautiful Moon and I was so afraid I would lose you"

"You'll never lose me" I promised him.

"Shit" Nyssa swore.

Immediately I put Stolas behind me and Nyssa chose that moment to appear by my side as Crimson held a gun pointed at Stolas. He was alone but I knew his men were close by watching.

"Get back over here Liv" Crimson hissed. The mafia imp then glared at Nyssa. "Hello again Nyssa"

"F**k you" the Princess of the Dead spat before summoning her scythe. "Drop the gun Crimson or I'll give you a worse beating than last time"

"I'm not doing that, Livania is coming back with me"

Having enough I called to my demonic power and I used a shadow to grab Crimson's gun from his grasp. I made the shadow destroy the gun before seizing Crimson.

"So this is it? You choose that damn bird over me?" Crim demanded as I walked up to him.

"We're done Crim, let this be your final warning"

I then grabbed hold of his suit collar and lifted him off of the ground while screams filled the air.

"Those are the screams of your men dying by my shadows and should you dare to threaten me or my loved ones again I'll end you Crimson make no mistake on that"

"Liv please"

I hissed before finally tossing the mafia imp onto the ground in disgust.

"Let's go home my Cosmos," I told Stolas intertwining my hand into his.

Alastor's POV

I brought Via to the hotel so she would be safe. Charlie and Vaggie kept her company. The doors to the hotel opened and Nyssa entered. She shot me a smirk before stepping aside and Stolas entered with an exhausted-looking Livania.

"Liv!" Via exclaimed before hurrying over the wolf demoness. The teenage princess threw herself into Livania's arms and began to weep.

Nyssa's POV

Liv held Via close to her and comforted the teenager as the princess wept. Stolas then drew his beloved and daughter into his arms and he began to weep as well.

Later.

Still Nyssa's POV

"You know what today made me realize?" I told Alastor.

We were back at our house and I currently had my head in Alastor's lap. My husband stroked my hair.

"What did you realize my Nyssa?" the Radio Demon answered.

I sat up and slid into his lap and kissed him.

"It made me realize how precious you are to my Jorraelagon and how much I love you"

Alastor chuckled before kissing my neck and I hissed in pleasure.

"I wouldn't have shown mercy to anyone like Livania did with Crimson if you were stolen from me, my love"

"You would either kill or eat them, no offense love but that's still f**ked up you do that"

"Demons aren't the only thing I'll devour my darling" he purred.

"Watch it handsome or I'll ruin another pair of panties"

I almost soaked the current ones I had on.

"Then I'll shred them to pieces with my claws"

Using his strength the Radio Demon stood up and had me over his shoulder. Knowing where things were heading I shook my head while my husband slapped my rear. He laughed before walking in the direction of our bedroom.

Crimson's POV

I stared into the fire and sipped my wine. Liv wasn't coming back and I had to accept it. But it didn't heal the hurt in my heart. The real reason things ended between us was due to the fact my rival threatened to kill Liv if I didn't marry his daughter.

No amount of fighting was worth losing Liv and so I accepted the marriage to protect her. My eyes then went to the painting I bought from the gallery. Having it gave me some comfort and it was now one of my most cherished possessions.
