I continued to stare at the black-haired man who was a demon named Astaroth who also turned out to Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
be my fated mate intently to find out if the things he said were true and not lies?
However, he looked back at me so that I didn’t find any lies but a dreamy look that I never realized he
was giving.
Oh G od, is this really happening?
Did he actually accept me to be his mate?
“But… Are you sure?” I asked him back.
Astaroth surprisingly smiled and looked up at the sky “I too have everything in mind when I am here…”
He said quietly before he looked back at me “I’ve been to my world… But not for long because there
was something in me that wanted you to be close to me, a fear that something would hurt you or
happen to you, I… I’ve never felt anything like this” He added, which made my eyes widen to see him
saying such beautiful things with a serious look towards me.
There was never a man who said such beautiful things to me, yes, he informed me that he had left, but
that made him realize how much he couldn’t lose me was something that touched my heart.
“You know what I am and caring has never been in my blood, and yet… you… the thought of
something happening to you, I don’t want to… even just in my mind. No, I don’t want to let anything
happen to you or your family that makes you sad and this is a strange thing for me” He kept pouring out
what was in his heart and I kept listening carefully with my heart touched by the beauty of the things he
felt for me.
Could I ever get a mate this perfect?
No one is perfect in this world, but the feeling she has for me is something I wouldn’t want to receive
from anyone else but her.
Oh G od, it’s so beautiful, I thought.
“Iris..?”
Since I didn’t say anything and was just staring straight at the forest, I realized that

I had been staring blankly for a while before looking back at him who had been looking at me with
hope, fear and worry.
Oh…
Could it be that he’s worried that I won’t accept him?
Is my silence worrying him?
“Sorry” I said immediately and gave a small smile that was surprisingly not reciprocated, oops, looks
like he thought I didn’t have the same feelings as he did. “What exactly is love?” I said softly while
looking at him and saw him raise an eyebrow “I always thought maybe I would feel in love and not a
sense of compulsion because he’s my fated mate?” I added softly and made him smile a little which
caused my heart to beat so fast that I almost lost my breath because of his very handsome face.
Oh G od… I said to myself while touching my chest which was beating very fast at the moment.
“Can we teach each other that?” His words startled me and I widened my eyes at
him.
Is what I heard true?
“What?” I asked quietly to make sure that what I heard just now from his mouth
was true.
I slowly saw him touch my palm before grasping it.
The vibration that people always say when touched by the mate is not or maybe not yet felt but there is
a warm feeling that spreads making it very comfortable.
“If it’s with you, Iris, I want to try this” He said before bringing his hand to his lips to give me a kiss that
made me tremble “I want to learn this thing about love if it’s with you, Iris” He added and I couldn’t
contain the unstoppable tears and felt them fall on my cheeks that made him surprised and cupped my
cheeks to kiss my tears away “Sorry.. I didn’t mean to..”
I quickly shook my head “No… No… it’s not your fault, I just….” I said as I found his eyes looking at me
intently, as if wanting to know why I was crying “I’m glad to know you have those feelings for me, Astro”

The man who had Demon blood raised an eyebrow and smiled “Astro?” He asked with a laugh.
I nodded my head “Astaroth is very long so I shortened it to Astro” I replied casually and made him
chuckle.
Wow, he’s been smiling a lot lately and it makes him look very handsome, I thought happily before
touching his cheek.
We sat there staring at each other before, I don’t know who moved first and only felt a warm touch from
his lips to mine that made me gasp in surprise before returning his kiss with the same longing.

When the two of us entered the palace, everyone was gathered in the hall, my mother, my father, the
strongest warriors the palace had and also the wounded members in the corner who were being
treated by the healers.
It seems that my father made this large hall into a gathering place to make it easier to monitor
everything in one room, I thought.

Everyone immediately looked at the two of us who had just arrived and came to me while being
followed by the other warriors who were behind him.
I didn’t know what they were going to do to Astro, but I hoped my father could see that the man with the
demon blood, though the cause of all this, was also acting as the protector of this territory, just as he
wanted to protect it.
“I’m glad you finally came” My father said softly and surprised me as he thrust his hand out to shake
Astaroth’s who, too, was surprised to look at him before he stepped forward and accepted my father’s
handshake “Thank you, Astaroth, for choosing us and protecting my people” My father said firmly and
made me smile in relief.
Yes, that’s why he was the king of the Alphas, his wisdom was indeed extraordinary, he could see
through everything regardless of his feelings of not liking the man to be his only daughter’s mate.
Astaroth nodded his head confidently “You know why I am on your side, I am the fated mate of your
daughter, the princess, Iris and I will continue to be her protector as well as the protector of this region”
He answered firmly and surprised

everyone, who might still be wondering about him as my mate, but because of his words, everyone
knew about it.
Yes, the words that Astaroth spoke became an official statement, which everyone heard with a smile.
