Chapter 51: A New Balance

The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow across the opulent bedroom. Eliana stirred beneath the silken sheets, her eyelids fluttering open to reveal sleepy red eyes. A contented sigh escaped her lips as she stretched, her movements languid and graceful. The events of the past week, though tumultuous, had ultimately brought a sense of peace and stability to her life. The war was over, Sebastian had returned, and their bond had deepened in ways she never thought possible.

As she sat up, the thin silk sheet slid down her body, revealing her bare shoulders and the gentle curve of her breasts. A week ago, such a sight would have filled her with shame and vulnerability. But now, in the safety of Sebastian's domain, she felt a newfound confidence in her own skin. The Demon God had not only claimed her body but also her heart, and the intimacy they shared had erased any lingering doubts or insecurities.
