Evelyn was terrified as she sat like a stiff statue beside the guy whose name she didn't know. Rick was driving the car and Maxwell was in the passenger's seat.
Evelyn kept looking out of the window to keep track of where they were taking her but she was never good with the routes.
"Rory, do it," Maxwell muttered.
She let out a loud gasp when abruptly something covered her eyes rather roughly and then she felt the tight knot at the back of her head.
She raised her hands to remove the blindfold when Rory grabbed her hand in a rough grip and tugged it down.
"Stay still, if you don't want me to tie you up," He said coldly and tears leaked out of her closed eyes. One of her eyes was not even properly closed and the blindfold was too tight, almost digging into her eyes.
She clutched her hands in a fist and sat there silently. She didn't know for how long they kept on driving but it was too far away from wherever they were taking her and she couldn't even hear any noise from the other cars. It was like they were alone on the road which was a bit bumpy and rough.
The car came to a screeching halt and her heart started to pound rapidly in fear of what was to come.
They got out of the car, she could hear it, and then her door was pulled open and she was yanked out rather roughly.
She didn't even balance herself properly when they started dragging her.
She let out a low yelp when her bare foot hit the stairs and she stifled a wince of pain. If not for that tight hold on her arm she would've fallen face first and hurt herself.
"Slow down. I...I.. can't see," She whispered but they didn't stop and she kept on stumbling at everything that came her way.
Her toes were aching. She could feel the cool sensation of the cemented floor but there was dirt too.
"W...where are you taking me?" She asked, scared when she heard the door creak open making that terrifying sound.
She was afraid. She didn't even know if they brought her to Joshua or if they just tricked her and now they would kill her after having their way with her.
She was a pessimist and the situation didn't help either as worst-case scenarios raked her mind and the fear in her veins intensified tenfold.
All of a sudden they came to a halt. She gasped when; whom she presumed was Rory, grabbed her nape and pushed her down on her knees. She clenched her teeth feeling the pain that shot through her knees.
"She's his sister, boss." She heard Maxwell's voice and then a chill ran down her spine when she felt a sharp sensation pricking her skin.
Someone was looking at her. She could feel the cold atmosphere as she shivered. Not knowing if it was because of the weather or the fear.
"N...No... W...why h..her?" Her heart stopped beating for a fraction of a second when she heard Joshua's cracked voice.
She abruptly yanked the blindfold off her eyes and blinked rapidly as her blurred vision cleared slightly and her eyes fell on the man who was on the floor a few feet away from her.
She forgot breathing as something clutched her heart in a vice grip. Joshua was laying on the floor with blood all over him.
"JOSH!" She screamed and tried to run over to him when Rory grabbed her arm.
She didn't even stop and in her hysteria, she slapped him right across his cheek with all her might. He was taken so off guard and was too stunned to comprehend when she got out of his grip and dashed to Joshua who was laying on the floor.
She fell to her knees beside him as she gently held his head and placed it on her thigh. One of his eyes was so blue and swollen that his eye wasn't even visible.
Ugly bruises littered all over his body and face and blood oozed out of his forehead and the corner of his mouth.
"Oh my God! Josh. Josh," She cried out as he was barely even breathing.
"Please, Josh. What happened to you?" She didn't even know what she was saying as tears kept pouring out of her eyes.
She was a trembling mess. She cupped his face gently in her quivering hand. Her heart was bleeding.
"No, Josh. P...please, don't leave me. W..who did this?" She sobbed, wiping the blood from his chin with her sleeve.
He slowly peeled open one of his eyes that wasn't swollen. "R....run..." He wheezed the word out in a low croak and she shook her head.
How could she leave him like this? Who did this to her brother? Why? Why did they hurt him like this? Her brother has never hurt a soul in his life then why did they hurt him like this?
"G...go...." Josh croaked out but she only shook her head.
Someone grabbed her arm in a brutal hold and she was yanked to her feet. She stumbled and collided with a hard chest only to flinch back in fear but the man jerked her closer to him and her eyes collided with those familiar stormy eyes which looked lethal as he glared down at her.
"He's your brother?" His deep voice was a booming growl as he snarled at her face.
She shrank back, closing her eyes shut, trying her best to proceed with what was happening but nothing made sense to her.
"W....what? Axel, y..you-"
"Is he your brother?" His deep voice was low like an ominous sneer. His hold on her arm tightened to such a painful extent that she started thrashing trying to free her arm. She was sure he would crush her bone.
He didn’t sound like the man she knew.
"Yes! Yes! STOP! You're hurting me!" She cried out and his hold loosened enough for her to gather back her senses.
He pushed her away and then let out a loud booming laughter.
It was so sinister and vicious that a chill of terror ran down her spine.
His ominous laugh echoed in the dark empty place. If not for the light bulb hanging above their heads the place would drown in pitch-black darkness.It was him! Why? “A…Axel, what’s going on?” Her voice was so small and full of absolute terror.She looked to her side where Maxwell, Rick, and Rory stood as stiff as a statue and then she gazed at the front door of the rotten and old-looking warehouse. She glanced at the limp and battered body of Josh and her heart constricted in pain.How could she save her brother? They were four bulky giant men against her. She was in a compromised condition.They could kill both of them without even putting much effort into it.In her panic-stricken state, she pushed the question of why they were there to the back of her head. For now, she just wanted to save her brother.Her eyes collided with those grey hues and she flinched, involuntarily stepping back.This was the same gentleman who saved her that night and he even smiled at her just two days
"Josh w...would never do anything wrong," She mumbled but he tightened his hold on her neck and pulled her closer to such an extent that she could feel his hot breath on her face and it had her insides twisting in fear."Shut up!" He hissed and pushed her away making her stumble a step back as he turned around.Axel tried his very best to control his rage but he couldn't."Why did you hurt my brother? What did he do?" She tried to ask him calmly but pivoted to only glare at her. His gaze pierced through her soul and forced her to lower her eyes."Be grateful that he's still alive," Axel sneered and she flinched at the coldness in his voice which sounded like a growl."L....leave... E..Eve..." Josh couldn't even form a full word as tears dripped down his temple. "You Bastard!" Axel growled and charged forward, kicking Joshua's already limp body as he winced in pain."NO!" Evelyn screamed as she sprang forward and covered Joshua's body with hers. Axel's kick was about to hit her face a
Evelyn was silently crying sitting in the corridor as Josh was being treated in the emergency ward.Axel's men had dropped them at the front of the hospital and left. The people and the staff helped Joshua inside. The doctor won't start the treatment before the deposit. She didn't even have money to take a cab so she ran all the way to their apartment. Her legs had no energy and she felt dizzy but her brother's life was at stake.She grabbed all the savings and shoved them in her bag pack along with her phone. She got a cab and hurried to the hospital. After the payment and a few signatures on the important document, they started Joshua's treatment.She also heard the doctors discussing that the matter needed police involvement. They were about to approach her regarding this matter but then another doctor came dashing toward them and said something to them. They looked at Evelyn with scared eyes before heading into the room to treat Joshua.She was moving back and forth lightly while
"You're up. I brought porridge for you," Evelyn smiled at her brother who tried to sit up but couldn't and she was instantly on his side as she helped him to sit and set the pillow behind his back.He winced and tried to control the hiss of pain. She knew his whole body was in pain and he could barely move without her help.Joshua was unconscious for the whole night due to sedatives and painkillers. She was right beside him throughout the night and she woke up to him patting her head with two of his fingers.She couldn't stop her tears as she cried kissing the back of his hand. He had asked her if she was alright in that cracking voice. He could barely talk much but he still asked about those men in his groggy state.She told him that he should sleep for a while and that she would tell him everything once he woke up. He hesitantly obliged as she hurried home and prepared food for him according to the diet planner. They were supposed to do grocery shopping before all this but now there
The officers left without taking any statements. They even warned Joshua not to mess with Mr. Knight."Josh," She whispered in a small voice, placing her hand on his shoulder, he rubbed his face looking up at her with that stressed look on his face."Where did you go on that Saturday night?" She asked."The Black Palace restaurant," He answered."Who was your date?" "Sasha. Why are you asking this?""Nothing. Here, take your medicines and go to sleep," She said, handing him his medicines. He gulped them down but grabbed her wrist getting her attention."Where are you going?" He asked."I'm going to work. I'll be doing a full-time job at Smith's for a few days or else I'll look for another job," She said and he shook his head."No. You need to leave Evelyn. I won't be able to protect you in this condition. That bastard has links in the police department. I don't understand why he's after me and I can't let you be at risk for the time being," He was saying when his eyes widened slightl
Axel has asked Maxwell to keep an eye on the siblings. So he was aware of her every move.Axel chugged his drink down. The liquid burned his throat but he needed the liquor to stay numb or else he would kill Joshua and his sister within minutes if he lost his mind.But that wasn't the plan from the start. He was glad when he found out that f*cker has a sister. It would be easier to torment him through his sister but never in his wildest dreams, he thought that it would be Evelyn. Out of 7 f*cking billion people in this world. It has to be the girl he was attracted to. Why her?Why the f*ck it has to be her?He was beyond pissed when she admitted she was his sister. This wasn't supposed to happen. Everything was just fine but then this f*cker Joshua destroyed the dearest thing to Axel.Axel couldn't forget what he saw that night. His blood boiled in his veins and it was only thanks to the liquor in his body that was keeping him from killing them.He wanted to kill Joshua's sister righ
"You shouldn't be sleeping so carelessly, Evelyn," the way he said her name had goosebumps of terror rising on her flesh as her eyes bounced around for anything she could use as a weapon and could escape."H...how did y...you get in?" She breathed shakily and he tilted his head. He was still crouching in front of her looking scary as ever."I've my ways," He said casually. "W...why are you here?" She asked as her mind processed a plan to save herself. If he tried anything she would run into the kitchen and grab a knife. But she has to be faster because if he caught her she would be dead.He sighed before getting up to his mighty height. She gulped as her neck craned up looking at him. He slipped his hands into his pants pocket while peering down at her calmly."Why, you ask. Can't I even meet my soon-to-be wife?" He mused and his casual tone made her heart stutter in fear.The shock of his sudden presence was slowly fading away as she got up from the couch and abruptly stepped to her
It was the third time Evelyn visited there but still the door was locked and no one opened up. She decided to talk to the receptionist on the ground floor only to find out that Ms. Sasha hasn't returned for three days now.Something wasn't right, Evelyn was sure of it but what terrified her the most was the thought; what if Axel has killed Sasha because she was involved with Josh?First, he killed Sasha, and then he was about to kill Josh but when he found out Evelyn was his sister, he changed the plan. Even thinking about it had her heart trembling in fear.Evelyn got to work late. She apologized and as a penalty, she had to work extra four hours. She won't have enough time to spend with Josh at the hospital.After work, she was so tired. She was sleep deprived and hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. Walking to the hospital she grabbed a sandwich from the nearby store and munched on it.After finishing her sandwich she made her way into his ward only to freeze when she hea
"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
