@sleepykuya Happy birthday! Here's my favorite passage I've worked on recently, I hope you enjoy it! 
If he hadnāt lost control when heād first scented the humanās manaā¦ no, if the human hadnāt been in his chambers in the first place, none of this would have happened.
āDamn it,ā he cursed under his breath.
Even in the Spirit Realm, the Astraeus Clan had always been known for their resplendent beauty and unmatched purity of mana. As intermediaries of the Spirit and Mortal Realms, the descendants of the Astraeus Clan were highly sought after as consorts and trinkets of the powerful kami. The concept of pining after and coveting their bloodline was as absurd as it was distasteful.
It left a bad taste in his mouth to be lumped in with the gods and yokai who worshiped it. The Astraeus name was synonymous with power. And arrogance.
Even if he hated everything they stood for, he would have been a fool to turn such an offering away. He knew that, but it didnāt stop him from being disgusted with himself.
Heād never wanted anything to do with humans and yet heād caved in the face of temptation. Everything about this one set him on edgeāit had since heād first seen him in the moonlight. In that instant, heād known that every rumor heād ever heard about the Astraeus Clan had been true.
It's from this webnovel, if you're interested in following-up on the hate-that-I-love-you kind of love story (BL)
