A Demon’s Resolve by Shea Balik

As Alec felt the cold steel of a knife puncture his hand, his mind erupted into chaos. His soul screamed in protest, yearning to turn back the hands of time and prevent the unthinkable. His mate, Kian, had thrown himself into the jaws of danger, offering himself sacrificially for demons. The question that echoed the loudest in his mind: Would Kian even survive the ordeal?
When Kian felt Alec’s warm blood mix with his own, a searing inferno ignited within his veins. The pain was beyond comprehension. He found himself teetering on the razor’s edge between sanity and delirium, questioning whether he could bear it or if it would claim his life.The shockwaves of Kian’s sacrifice resonated among both humans and demons. None had envisioned a scenario where Kian would risk everything for demonkind. Yet, as he did, even those who were skeptical of a human’s place amongst them found themselves applauding his audacity.

The looming uncertainty of what this meant for demons was cast aside for now. As worry devoured Alec—having lost control over his supernatural abilities with his mate on the brink—the only thing that mattered was Kian’s survival.
