My blood grew cold as I kicked the door open. The house was a fucking mess. I immediately walked upstairs to our room, but it was empty.The living room was a complete mess, the couch was hanging upside down. The table was shattered to the ground and I could see little drops of blood on the floor. She had clearly struggled. My fists clenched at the thought of her being hurt and the baby… fuck. I searched every nook and cranny of the house but it was empty. I turned to Nolan and Kameron who had just come out of the room, obviously searching for her too. “She's gone…” Nolan whispered quietly, cautiously taking a step closer to me.“Fuck!” I cussed, punching the wall and not even wincing as the pain spread through my wrist. “That bitch took her! That fucking bitch took her!” I yelled, punching the wall repeatedly.I pushed them away from me as they tried to separate me from the wall. “Calm down, Azriel! We're going to get her back!” Kameron yelled, pulling me away. I turned around and
A Z R I E L My head snapped towards him as soon as her name fell out from his lips. “You're kidding, right?” “She's the only option we have right now. I think you need to let go of whatever feud you have with her for now and just focus on the most important thing, which is bringing back your mate.” I shook my head, clenching my fist. “The last thing I need is help from that girl.” I seethed with disdain. “Are you even listening to yourself right now, man?” Nolan interrupted looking at me incredulously. “This is your mate we are talking about here, your fucking pregnant mate! The life of her and the baby are at stake here! Get your head straight man! What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Nolan was a man that rarely raised his voice because he has always been the cool and playful one between Kameron and I, but when he does shout, it means he is more than pissed. I narrowed my eyes at his blatant disrespect but only sighed in response. Fuck, he was right. I hated that everyone wa
A Z R I E LI watched as she walked away as soon as I said the words. I ginned my lips in anger, glaring at Kameron. “I fucking told you she wasn't even going to consider it, not like I need her anyways. Go get me someone else as soon as possible.” I said, running my hands through my face. I couldn't even deny the fact that I felt frustrated at this point.We heard footsteps walking down the steps, making me snap my head up. Andrea walked down the stairs with a laptop in her hands looking at me emotionlessly. She took a seat on the couch, placing the laptop in front of her. She outstretched her hand and cocked a brow, “Well?” I placed the phone on her palm and she immediately got to work. A thought slipped into my head and I decided to voice it out. “Azalea should never know of this.” I warned in a gruff voice.She looked up at me and smirked, “Why? Afraid daddy dearest might have a hand in this?” “I would suggest you watch your fucking tongue before I shut it for you.” “Considerin
D E L I L A H My whole body aches so much. I tried to turn to my side but found that my two hands and legs had been shackled to the bed, making me unable to move or even turn. These people had stripped me of my dignity as a woman. They tore my clothes off, thankfully one of them had the compassion to leave me in my underwear.My baby bump was bared in the air and I tried as much as possible to cover my unborn baby from prying eyes but it was a useless move. No one was going to come to my rescue. I was going to die here along with my child.I didn't sign up for any of this. Was Azriel going to come to my rescue? He barely even knew where I was, how did I expect him to come find me? I was officially doomed and overall scared shitless about what my fate would be. This wasn't just about me but the little life growing inside of me, depending on me for protection when I couldn't even protect myself.Tears rolled down my eyes and slid to my ear. I hated this. I hated that I had to be put i
D E L I L A HWARNING! This chapter contains violence/abusive language and torture that might be sensitive to some readers. Layla leaned closer to me, trailing her cold hands down my arm. “Now think about it dear, don't you think your parents got what they deserved for ruining my life?”I couldn't resist the urge anymore as I snarled at her, “You are a fucking monster who doesn't deserve to be alive! You're so disgusting, cruel and inhumane! You deserve to rot in the deepest pit of hell!” I spat, my heart feeling heavy as I thought about all my parents went through in the hand of this cruel woman. Layla grabbed my jaw, harshly turning me to face her. “I warned you severally to watch your fucking tongue around me. I guess I'll have to fucking take law into my own hands. To be honest, your face sickens me and the thought that you're about to bring one of your mother's lineage into the world makes my blood boil! The only satisfaction I would get right now is killing you!”Her eyes dark
A Z R I E LMy eyes blazed with fury as I took in the horrifying scene before me. My mate, Delilah, was chained to the bed, bloodied and injured, with Layla and Carmen standing over her like malevolent shadows. The room was filled with an aura of darkness and pain, but I remained unyielding, my resolve solidifying.My heart clenched tightly at the sight of her tears filled eyes. She looked drained, exhausted. All signs of light had died in her eyes, replaced with a fallen and hopeless expression.“Let her go, now!” My voice was commanding, resonating with power that made the very air tremble. I stepped forward, my eyes never leaving Layla's face. My wolf, strong and fierce, surged within me, ready to protect what was mine at any cost.Layla's expression shifted from surprise to a wicked grin. “Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. Azriel, the big bad Alpha. You know, I always thought you were weak, letting your emotions control you. But here you are, finally proving me right.
A Z R I E LI immediately got up to my feet as soon as the doctor came out of the emergency room. I have been sitting in the waiting room for the past thirteen hours, hoping and praying for good news.My entire clothes were stained with blood. Yes, blood. Delilah had started bleeding seriously as soon as I got her into the car. I drove to the nearest hospital as soon as I could, my mind already in shambles.I just knew with the expression the doctor had on his face that he was coming with bad news. My palm grew cold and sweaty as the doctor approached me.“D-doctor, is she okay?” I asked, standing in front of him and trying to compose myself though my mind was running with millions of thoughts all at once.“Mr. Marino, can I see you in private?” The doctor asked in a polite voice, his eyes trailing off to my mother, Kameron, Nolan and Sienna who were standing next to me. I looked at them before turning back to the doctor. I slowly shook my head, “They are family, it's fine.” At this
A Z R I E L I chugged down another shot of whiskey, not even wincing as the taste burned down my throat. I get numb to everything. I knew, I just knew that my life was going to change after today. I lost my child and there was a high chance that I was going to lose Delilah too. “She doesn't want me anymore,” I muttered to no one in particular, ditching the glass and drinking directly from the bottle. “That's not true, man. Delilah loves you too much to leave you in this situation. She just needs time. I'm sure she'd come around soon. She just lost her baby, she's bound to feel that way.” Nolan tried to explain as he and Kameron looked at me, a worried expression plastered on their faces. I laughed bitterly, the sound harsh in the dimly lit room. “Time? That's what everyone keeps saying, but I don't know if I have any left. Everything is falling apart, and I can't fix it. I can't fix anything!” I slammed the bottle back onto the table, the liquid sloshing dangerously close to the
