Her eyelids felt as if tons of weight were placed on them. Her whole body ached but her head throbbed painfully. A muffled groan left her lips as she rubbed her forehead and then her fingers massaged her temple to ease the pain. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked twice to clear the blurry vision. Her brows furrowed and her eyes widened slightly when she saw her reflection in the mirror that was on the ceiling. What was this place? She touched the silk sheets under her and then like a thunderbolt everything came back as the memories flashed in her head like a reel and tears gathered in her eyes. Evelyn sprang up from the bed only to stumble because of the dizziness, she winced as her head pounded. She noticed the cool tiled floor under her and her eyes swept around. She barely registered the King sized bed and the gray walls before she noticed the door. Without thinking much she dashed towards the door and to her relief, it was unlocked. Stepping out she was greeted by the vast
Evelyn stared at him horrified and shook her head lightly. Her quivering lips were sealed tightly. She noticed how his gaze darkened and her eyes fluttered down in fear. The bouncing of her knee intensified and it was not in her control anymore. "Y...you said you'll l...let me go if my brother agrees to take the blame for the m...murder," she stuttered and he tilted his head. "I said that?" He asked, confused and sweat broke on her forehead in such cold weather. She nodded her head while peeking at him through her lashes. She was scared. She just wanted to get out of there and save her brother. "And you thought I'll do exactly what I say?" He asked amused as he intertwined his fingers, his elbows resting on his thigh as he leaned forward and she shrank back on the sofa, hoping she could disappear in thin air. "I don't play fair, Evelyn." He mused while looking at her bouncing knee which she was gripping tightly to stop the bounce but it seemed like it wasn't in her control. "You
Maxwell was at her door in the afternoon as he escorted her to one of the best salons. The beautician over there was already informed about Evelyn's arrival as Axel has booked a slot for her. She had already showered as they got to her makeup. Then she was handed her dress by the staff as she changed in the changing room. Evelyn asked for help as a girl helped in securing the hooks on her back. When she stepped out the staff was all gaping at her in awe. "You look gorgeous. No wonder Mr. Knight chose you as his wife," the beautician said as Eveyln just kept staring at the floor as they set the veil on her head. She hasn't even looked at her reflection once in the mirror. She wasn't happy. Her heart was crying in agony. She never thought about marriage but she has dreams of marrying a guy whom she loves. Just like the novels she had read. She wanted to marry a normal guy who has a decent job and a small house and he must especially love her a lot but never in her life had she th
Evelyn let out a shuddering breath before she stopped breathing. Her panicked eyes gazed at him as he inched closer.She noticed how his eyes glided down to her lips before meeting her gaze again.This wasn't good.She didn't want to give him her first kiss. But the mere thought of it was absurd. She was going to marry this man. He might want to do a lot more sinful things just than a mere kiss.But she won't allow it. Sweat broke on her forehead when she felt his hot breath fanning her lips. She was aware of the cameras that were clicking their photos. Just when his lips brushed hers, she tilted her head slightly so that his lips landed on the corner of her mouth.A jolt of current ran down her spine feeling his soft lips on
Evelyn hesitated before taking two steps toward him but still, she was three steps away from him."I'm not going to kill you," He muttered, annoyed.It felt like a threat coming from a man who has turned her life upside down.She didn't move an inch from her place. There was no one in the big silent mansion. Her heart was pounding in her ears because she was scared of what was to come."Go to the second last room on the second floor," He said.Her hesitant eyes glanced at him as her feet refused to move. She didn't want to share a room with him."The f*ck you waiting for?" He snapped, causing her to flinch as she scurried to the stairs. She slowly ascended the stairs all the while
After what felt like an eternity she heard his footsteps leaving the room and the door closed shut. She hurried out of the room and locked the door before taking a deep breath.Getting rid of her dress, she removed all the pins from her hair as she stood under the shower, the warm water cascading down her body.The restroom was luxurious and beautiful. There was also a bathtub there. But she wasn't happy. No matter how beautiful or alluring the cage was, in the end, it was just a cage.After a relaxing shower. She dried her body and wore her clothes. Stepping out of the restroom she was glad to find it empty. Though she had locked the door. But she was still wary of him. Drying her hair with the towel she picked up the wedding dress and folded it neatly though her heart wanted to rip it apart.
"Mr. Knight, we are just introducing ourselves to Ma'am," Parco said.Evelyn noticed how all of them stopped smiling and had serious faces."What are you doing, wife?" His deep voice near her ear had her flinching as she moved back to look at him with her cheek full.She hurriedly munched and gulped the food down, and all the while he kept looking at her. One of his hands rested on the counter as he caged her from one side with his body."Breakfast," she mumbled in a small voice.She noticed that he was wearing a crisp black button-down shirt with black slacks. His hair was combed back neatly and he was also wearing a tie along with a silver wristwatch. She thought he went to work. Why was he still there?
Her eyes widened as she gasped cupping her mouth and instantly stood up to her feet. She watched as he glowered down at the crumpled piece of paper. Getting inside he shut the door close before picking it up. He smoothened the paper and stared at their wedding picture on the front page. His brow cocked up as he darted a glance at her. She gulped, lowering her gaze while fisting the hem of her shirt. "So angry," He muttered, casually tossing the paper away as he strolled over to her. "Don't tell me you didn't know who I was. I'm pretty sure you agreed to the wedding because you knew I'm rich," He said nonchalantly and her eyes widened at his ridiculous statement. "You've forced me!" She snapped at him. She poked her index
"Honey, can you zip it for me?" She asked as Axel, who was already staring at her, walked over. Ever so slowly he grabbed the zip before leaning down only to kiss her cold skin. She shivered at the touch, turning to glare at him but he didn't let her. He held her waist tightly before giving open-mouthed kisses on her back causing her back to arch up. "Axel, we'd get late," She complained. "But you smell delicious," He grumbled, licking her spine. She held the dresser tightly as her legs wobbled. Evelyn had already put on all the makeup and done her hair too. She can't let him ruin everything because he just got horny seeing her naked back. "Later, not now. I'm ready. I won't let you ruin my makeup, stop-ouch!" He bit on her skin nibbling the skin between his teeth before sucking on it. Her eyes flew wide as she abruptly turned around placing both of her hands on his chest to keep him at distance. "Stop, you'll tease me and I'll get all bothered and wet then you'll gro
"Where do you think you're going?" Axel murmured in his deep voice from beside her as he tightened his hold on her waist. She stared at the ceiling shocked. He was awake all this time and pretended to sleep. Evelyn slowly turned around in his embrace facing him. She cupped his cheek forcing his eyes to open. As soon as he saw her face a smile caressed his lips making her heart flutter. Five years have passed and he still looks at her the same way he did when he first confessed to her. Axel has told her multiple times that whenever he wakes up with her in his arms his day goes by beautifully. Though it was just a small thing Evelyn made sure to stay in his arms until he woke up. She wants every day of his life to be happy. After all, it was the little things that mattered the most. "You were awake all this time?" She asked grumpily and he only smiled. Squishing her closer to his chest. "I like it when you gape at me and poke my chest," He murmured, causing her face to turn crimso
Evelyn gently stroked his cheek. Her heart pounded in her ears. "Please, wake up." She breathed shakily but got no response from him. She was crying silently and with each passing second her heart fell into the bottom of endless sorrow. "Our son needs us, please, Axel." She wept to hold him close to her chest. She saw a few vampires sprinting out when they found Gabriel dead. Evelyn's heart dropped when she felt his pulse slowing down. He was dying. "Axel! Please, wake up!" She wailed cupping his cheek. Her body was giving up on her as she slowly drifted into darkness still holding him in her arms. A loud gasp left Axel's lips. His whole body jerked badly as his eyes shot open wide. Her hazy eyes stared at him in relief and she knew she could finally doze off in peace as the girl finally fell into darkness. Her whole body was aching and it felt too heavy and painful to even breathe. With much difficulty, she groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she looked for
"No f*cking way," He said in disbelief before a grin broke through his lips and he was laughing like a maniac. Pulling back he stared at her from head to toe. "F*ck! You just gave birth, didn't you?" He mused not even believing himself. "Damn! This is absolutely like buying one and getting one free. No but why am I getting so happy about it? I should probably check if my assumption is right or not," He said to himself and stepped forward still choking her. A new rush of strength washed over her. With a low hiss, her canines extended out as she clawed at his face causing him to groan in pain as his hold loosened on her. Evelyn didn't stop there. She held his face and pierced her sharp protruding nail in his right eye making him scream out and he threw her away with force as held his bleeding eye. Her back hit the wall with force knocking all the breath out of her system as she fell on the floor wheezing. Pain shot through every pore of her being. "You bitch!" He sneered. Evelyn d
Evelyn heard whimpers of pain. It was faint but it was there and that wasn't it. She could hear the faint growls and rumbles. Her body felt as if tons of weights were placed on it. She tried to move but the task seemed impossible. She slowly blinked her eyes open only for them to widen in sheer fear. "Axel," She gasped, sitting upright in a jerk. Her eyes looked around frantically before she found her son cradled in a small blanket. His gray eyes peered at the ceiling with his tiny hands moving slightly. A sob of relief tore through her lips as she grabbed her baby before pulling him to her chest. Calmness washed over her as her heart pounded faster. Pulling him back she glanced at her baby in awe. His reddish newborn skin and eyes were like Axel's but his chin was like hers. The baby glanced at her before smiling and this was one of the most beautiful moments of her life. Evelyn kissed her baby on the nose. "Brittany," She whispered, looking around but she was nowhere in sight.
Axel growled at the number of vampires that surrounded him. The wizard lay dead under him as blood dripped from Axel's canines. His huge black wolf stood like a f*cking beast. His aura was dark and menacing as power oozed out of him in waves. A couple of his security men lay dead around them along with many vampire corpses. They were more in numbers. He was in a compromised condition but he believes that Daniel will be here soon. A sudden drop in the air had his head snapping to the front gate from where Gabriel was sauntering in with more vampires. The bastard was smiling casually as he stared at the dead bodies. Axel tensed up when Gabriel stared at the window to his room before his eyes met Axel's gold ones. "My. My. My. What's all this Axel?" He mused walking over to him as he stood at a few feet distance. Looking down he nudged the corpse of the vampire whose head was decapitated. Gabriel frowned before tilting his head to look Axel in the eyes. In response, the black wol
Evelyn let out muffled sobs with one hand she was clasping her mouth shut with the other hand she was fisting the sheets. Her heart was pounding wildly and the pain was too much to bear. With each passing second she felt like she would split into two. That wasn't the only pain she was feeling. The tremendous amount of fear and anxiety that enveloped her heart was maddening. Despite being in so much pain she was praying to God for the safety of Axel and her baby. She couldn't lose any of them. She could faintly hear the growls and hisses as there was a fight going on outside. Brittany's ears were still bleeding. She wiped the blood with a towel and made tissue balls before placing them in her ears. She was in pain. No one could hear the demonic mantra except for her because she was the only witch there except for that wizard. Brittany must deliver the baby and take Eve with her child to some safe place. She couldn't let Gabriel get his hands on Eve or the baby. She won't allow it.
Gabriel has become the Lord of the vampires a few months back. The dynamic of their world changes immensely. Luckily Gabriel didn't show any bridge to werewolves and declared he'll keep the treaty. As time passed Axel realized, he must have known by now that Evelyn was a forbidden child and no one has come after her which means he didn't want to mess with Axel. Axel thought he had to fight Gabriel if he came to kill Evelyn because hybrids weren't allowed to be born if they were born, they were killed. Axel was ready to fight him for Evelyn but he never thought that the sacred blood he talked about was Evelyn. A loud booming noise echoed through the surroundings as the whole mansion rattled with the vibration of it. Brittany's head snapped up as fear gnawed at her insides. "He's here," She whispered, panicking. She again tried to open a portal, it was halfway opened when shrill high pitched noise had her covering her ears as she fell to her knees in agony. "Brittany," Evelyn gasp
Brittany barged inside the room breathing heavily as her wild violet eyes searched for them. Evelyn gasped in shock as her eyes widened at the state of Brittany. Axel's jaw clenched seeing her condition. She has several bruises on her face and arms, also her forehead was bleeding badly. "Who did this?" He growled in a low voice.Though Axel didn't trust her in the start, when she approached him for help, he found out that whatever she did was for the safety of Evelyn. He began to trust her. That was the only reason he let her come into his mansion whenever she wanted. Also, Evelyn trusts her immensely so Axel has to as well. Though he wasn't fond of witches, Brittany was now a family and if there was a threat to her, he would deal with it without a second thought. He won't let anything happen to the family he has created from the ashes of his heartache and pain. "No," She whispered as her eyes fell on Evelyn. "You need to leave, both of you, hurry," Brittany said panicked as she d
