Micah 

He has the weight of the world on his shoulders literally. He sacrifices his every want and need for the sake of his unit, to follow commands past down without question. All Micah wants is to let go, to have a moment where no one relies on him, he decisions, his leadership, his guidance. A moment where he could let go, where he could be free. Fate was cruel, the one he felt for was destined for someone else in fact 2 someone else’s. What has Micah done to deserve such hurt and dismissal. And in a twist of fate he finally finds his true mate, that true mate happens to be a higher demon. Micah finds Nox to be arrogant, sarcastic and sexy but what he didn’t expect was for his demon to have depth, to be caring and to love with the heat of fire from hell itself. Micah has never been more passionate and felt as wanted with another in his entire existence. This love is against the laws of the heavens, it is doomed from the start yet Micah cannot help but fall for his demon who shows him what true love is. 

Nox

Having finally escaped the underworld known as hell he was finally free. Nox has always felt like something was missing but he didn’t think the missing part was a fated mate, Micah. He was fated to an uptight, follow the rules, never question his commands, Micah. This angel wants him, there’s no doubt about that but he wants him because Nox resembles the one Micah truly loves, or at least that’s what he thinks. Nox wants to be more than a stand in for Micah and is determined to show him what true want, need and love is. This demon isn’t afraid to go after who he wants, he will show Micah that he is the man for him. When the rules of the heavens forbid their love Nox is determined to save his love. He will die for Micah just as he has loved Micah. 

Beautifully heartbreaking. I love that Nox sacrifices his chance at happiness with his love to protect him, seeing who Micah truly is and the goodness that he exhudes, Nox will protect him and avenge him at all costs. Even if that’s at the cost of his own life. Micah is not about to lose his demon, he finally found true love, his fated mate, Nox challenges Micah in every way, he makes Micah look at the world differently and he both loves and hates that. Nox opened up to Micah so beautifully and showed Micah exactly what it was like to be wanted for everything that he is. Nox shows Micah what it’s like to have an equal partner, someone to share the burden with, someone he can let down his walls and embrace his emotions with. Love comes in the most unexpected places but fate knows exactly what it’s are doing.
