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
Evelyn made a blind dash into the woods. She wasn't even wearing any shoes but could care less. The sharp edges of the small rocks and the branches tore her skin and ruined her soles but she wasn't feeling any pain.All she could feel was the sheer amount of terror that enveloped her soul. At that moment she just wanted to run away from hell and the monster who was hell-bent on giving her pain. She just wanted to see her brother, she even told Axel to let her see him from afar and yet being a cruel monster he declined her.He left her no choice. She felt her mind would explode if she stayed in that cage even for a second. Evelyn heard a low growl from behind her and her heart churned in her ribcage as she fastened her pace.The rustling of the leaves under her feet was the only indication of life in the dark woods. The only source of light was the moonlight that made its way through the huge trees and fell on the floor in scattered pieces. She didn't know where she was going. She did
He slid his tongue into her mouth and caressed her tongue with his sending shivers down her spine. In her panic to get away from him. She bit on his tongue hard enough for him to wince as he moved back cursing profanities under his breath.She panted heavily glaring at him while struggling. He tilted his head feeling her rapid heartbeat before he leaned closer again. "No," She whimpered as he kissed her jaw and this time he wasn't rough as his hold on her wrists loosened enough not to cause her pain. "Don't ever do that again!" He grumbled.Axel trailed kisses down her neck and inhaled her scent deeply to calm down. His gums tingled and the urge to mark her engulfed him all over again."Stop, p...please," She pleaded, squirming under him. Her heart was dropping down into the hollow of darkness, deeper and deeper. Her head got dizzy as she tried to stay conscious. His sinful touches were making her body shiver. "S...stop," She wriggled but then froze when his free hand slid under her
She couldn't sleep the whole night and kept weeping silently on the window sofa gazing out of the glass at the dark inky sky.He didn't warn her not to escape because he might already know she won't try again. After all, it was useless.Her heart was in pain and her mind was in chaos. She felt claustrophobic.The next day she stayed in her room. Parco was the one who brought her dinner at night. Despite her rejection, he didn't leave her room until she had at least half of the soup. Though the man didn't know what she was going through yet he could see her turmoil as he told her that everything would get better before he left her alone.Everything would get better? How? When? She didn't know. She just wanted to breathe. Evelyn left her room and made her way to the backyard. The cool breeze had her shivering. Her eyes fell on the pool lit with dim lights as she made her way to it.She didn't know what got into her mind as she stepped into the pool and with each of her steps into the
"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
