He stumbled a step back. His jaw twitched in rage and the next thing he grabbed her face in his big calloused hands as he yanked her closer before slamming his lips on hers.
She stiffened on her spot. Her eyes went wide and she stopped breathing.
Axel pecked her soft velvety petals and licked the seam of her lips.
Her breath hitched when she realized what was happening. Her hands shot up as she pushed at his shoulders but he wouldn't budge.
She fisted her hands and threw punches at him blindly. Axel grumbled when she didn't give him an entrance.
His hand snaked to the nape of her delicate neck before he wrapped his fist in her thick silky locks, he yanked at her hair lightly enough for her lips to part as a gasp e
Axel breathed in deeply with his face still dipped in the crook of her neck. He inhaled her scent to ease the beast inside him. Slowly moving back he peered down at her.The sight in front of him makes him uneasy. She was under him at his mercy as he kept her caged. Her face was tilted to the side with her eyes shut tightly. Tears kissed her temple and cheeks as she bit her swollen bottom lip hard. The tip of her nose and cheeks were tinted red. Her chest heaved up and down wildly as she wept silently.Leaning on her he gripped her chin with his free hand and tilted her face towards him. "Open your eyes," He rasped but she kept them close and shook her head in denial while sniffing."Evelyn," He warned and she had to force herself to open her eyes as their gaze clashed."If you ever slap me again, then I won't be merciful," He threatened her icily."Then don't kiss me again-" She abruptly shut her mouth, her eyes widening realizing her mistake as she shook her head wildly.His thumb
"I'll ask again, Evelyn. Why are you not wearing the ring?" He asked. His deep voice was just like the calm before the storm.Instead of answering, she tried to remove his steel-like arm from her waist but it seemed impossible. No matter how much she tried he wouldn't budge. She was solely focused on trying to get out of his grasp while he was staring at her openly. He noticed how she scrunched her tiny nose up while using all her might and how a rogue strand disturbed his view of her beautiful face."Keep struggling. I won't mind staying like this forever," He deliberately rasped near her ear as she jolted back and gaped at him scared. His hawk-like eyes followed how she gulped. Her Swan-like neck was so beautiful and unblemished except for just one mark that he gave her last night.She clenched her jaw as she threw a quick glare at him and her struggles amplified. Her ass was squirming right on top of his buddy. With the lightest of her movements, his body was coming alive. "Stop
Her heart ceased to beat for a fraction of a second before it started beating at an abnormal pace. She didn't dare turn around. Inhaling deeply she placed the file back in the drawer and turned to face him."I was just cleaning the place," She said, not looking at him, and hurriedly tried to walk past him.But she was yanked back to her place through her arm as Axel grimaced down at her."What are you doing here?" His voice was hard. He was utterly serious."I told you, I was cleaning," She mumbled and tried to free her arm.He gripped her jaw in his calloused hand and jerked her face up. "You think I'm stupid?" He asked lowly."I don't think so. I just know it-" She abruptly covered her puckered-up lips as she shook her head wildly. Her tongue would get her killed one day.His eyes narrowed as he threw daggers at her. "Sniffing around like a rat, but trust me, darling. You won't find anything," He mused as she inhaled deeply seeing the tilt at the corner of his lips, he was smirking
Evelyn was in her room when she heard a knock. Ela stood outside the door. "Mr. Knight has sent something for you please come downstairs," Ela said and Evelyn's brows furrowed.The last time she has seen him was a week ago and after that ring incident, she tried her best to avoid him at all costs so she barely leaves her room.Walking down the stairs she noticed a man sitting on the sofa and there were two shopping bags beside him.He noticed her and stood up with a tight-lipped smile. "You must be Evelyn," He said as the girl nodded her head."I'm Daniel. I work for your husband and also I'm his childhood friend," He said. "It's nice to meet you, Daniel." She expressed with a small smile.Daniel grabbed the shopping bags and passed them to her. "Axel has sent these for you. He wants you to be ready by 8 and I'll escort you to the venue where you'll attend a charity event with him," Daniel informed and she blinked at him."I...I... don't want to go," She whispered and Daniel inhaled d
"Yes?" Evelyn asked, seeing a beautiful tall girl dressed in a mini black dress smiling widely at her."I'm Sofia. I'm a model. I've worked for Mr. Knight's agency a couple of times. I was looking forward to meeting you," Sofia said.Evelyn didn't know that he was also running an agency. How many businesses did he do? "Nice to meet you, Sofia. You are very pretty." Evelyn said genuinely. She was tall, slim, and gorgeous. Sofia chuckled dryly. "I know," She laughed and Evelyn's smile dropped a little at the hint of attitude in her voice."Can I ask you something?" She asked as Evelyn gave her a nod."What did you do to trap the best rich bachelor in town?" Sofia asked and Evelyn's brows shot up."Excuse me?" Evelyn asked softly. She was completely muddled."Axel is a self-made billionaire with looks and power and what do you have? Nothing. You're not even beautiful. You must've had a good trick up your sleeve to lure him?" She asked with a raised brow and Evelyn's heart churned at he
The next day she saw a press conference on the news where Axel was fuming in rage and barking that he would be filing charges against all the bullshit articles about his wife and his personal life on social media. He even threatened if anyone says something wrong about his wife Axel would take legal action. It almost made her scoff at his tactics. Just recalling last night has chills running down her spine. If she hadn't told him the truth might as possible he would've killed her. "Evelyn. I made coffee for you," Parco said as he placed the coffee on the table as she turned off the TV and thanked him. In the morning her nape was donning light red bruises so she had to wear a turtleneck. Evelyn thanked Parco who nodded his head and left. She didn't know if she could live with him anymore. He could easily kill her and dispose of her body in the forest at the back of this estate and no one would find out. She missed her brother so badly. She wanted to visit him. She wanted to see hi
Axel couldn't sleep properly and nor was he able to focus on work in his office. His mind was clouded by Evelyn. He was barbaric to her but did she deserve it in the first place? She might not even know what her brother has done. "So, how did the event go?" Daniel asked. He had observed that Axel seemed tense and the stone-cold man wouldn't talk on his own, which left him with no choice but to get it out of him. "Fine," Axel muttered. "I don't understand why you married that girl?" Daniel muttered as Axel glanced at him once before focusing back on the file in his hand. "To punish her brother," He said nonchalantly. "But you are hurting her as well," Daniel said and Axel paused. "She seemed so innocent and timid. I can almost bet that she has no hand in whatever happened," Daniel put forward his thoughts as Axel inhaled deeply. "I know," He muttered, restlessly. Her teary face flashed in front of his eyes and he felt like hurting someone. Grabbing his phone and keys he got
Silence echoed in the room as she stood there near the closed door in her pajamas fisting the edge of her shirt.Axel opened his cufflinks and rolled his sleeves up all the while keeping his eyes fixed on her. He wasn't expecting her to show up in his room like this. He was aware of her hide-and-seek game. She always hid in her room whenever he was present in the mansion.She wasn't saying anything as she kept on shifting her weight from one foot to the other.Axel shifted his gaze away from her assuming that it might be making her uncomfortable, still, she stayed mum.With a sigh, he got up to his feet and walked to the closet to get his clothes out. She was still silent like a night."I'm listening," He said after tossing his sweats on the bed."I...I..." He noticed the quivering of her chin and how her fists were trembling on her sides. She was mustering up the courage to talk to him."Yes, you?" He queried being very patient with her. He didn't want to scare her more than she alre
"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
