"I'm not going to eat you. So calm down!" He said in his thick morning voice that was like a velvety caress to her soul and she suppressed the shiver that raked through her body after hearing his voice.Instead of replying to him, she tried to get away from him. And how in the world should she reply to whatever he has spouted?"Evelyn," His tone held a warning but she couldn't care less.Axel had enough of her. Grabbing both of her wrists he slammed them on the bed on either side of her face, she parted her lips to say something when he abruptly slid her wrists above her head and kept it sealed with one of his big hands."Fine now? I think you only listen when I seize you like this," He muttered annoyed before looking down at her strand stuck in his button.Evelyn's eyes skidded over to his muscular chest and she forced herself to look away when her eyes fell on the canine's mark on his neck. It must've hurt him last night but why did he let her feed from him?She felt jello recalling
"Why are you wasting time?" Daniel asked, getting annoyed. They both have been in his office for the last hour and Gabriel was waiting for them at their meeting place."I'm thinking. Can you leave me alone," Axel grumbled, annoyed."What are you thinking? There's this scowl plastered on your face. Something is bothering you," Daniel muttered and Axel hated how he could easily tell when there was something wrong with him."It's Evelyn," He sighed, rubbing his face and then throwing his head back on the headrest of the chair as he stared at the ceiling."Did she do something?""No. Last night was the full moon. She needed blood and looked so pale. I offered her my blood, Daniel. And it was the best time for her to suck me dry and kill me but instead when I woke up in the morning. There was a blanket on top of me," He gritted in frustration.No matter how much he thought of it from different perspectives, he couldn't come to a proper conclusion as to why she let him live except that she
Axel leaned against the hood of his car gazing at the vast inky sky. The stars twinkled brightly and the crescent of the moon peered at the man as a turmoil of emotions swirled in his eyes.He took a long drag of his cigarette before letting out a puff of smoke. So she was innocent all along. Joshua had no hand in Sasha's murder.Axel felt anxiety creeping through his flesh and sinking its teeth into the depths of his bones.Her tears, her pleads, that quivering chin, and her trembling body. Now that his mind was clear, everything screamed at him of her innocence. He was so blinded by rage.He ruined the innocent soul. He snatched her smile. Forced her to marry him. Chained her up and at last time he even tried to r*pe her.What the f*ck has he done? She would never forgive him. She would forever hate him for all the things he did to her. And her brother Joshua was living the life of a criminal and he was guiltless all along. He paid the officers to beat that guy black and blue.Guilt
It hurts to have hope. Because if you hope for good then you would end up hurting yourself in the end.Evelyn has come to accept her fate. She even prepared her mind for every worst-case scenario. Though he stopped last time, there was no guarantee he would stop the next time as well.So it was best for her to be prepared. It was difficult and needed a certain breaking point. The limit to her endurance had ended that night and now she didn't care anymore.He let her feed from him thinking that her heart would melt and she would suffer from Stockholm syndrome. She won't let those fake gestures get to her. But if he still proceeded to make her go through Sasha's pain then she would kill him, before taking her own life.She didn't even know what she was thinking anymore. But knowing that the worst will happen to her was somewhat believable. She has come to the acceptance and there was nothing she could do about it.Drying her body she wore jeans with Joshua's sweater which was huge on he
'What about me?' The words were at the tip of her tongue but she didn't say them. She kept mum with her heart throbbing in her throat.Now he knew, she and her brother were innocent but she knew, he would still keep her hostage.'Think of Joshua. At least he would be free.' She tried to console herself but she wanted to be with her brother. She wanted her old life back."I'm sorry," He rasped in his deep voice as she slowly turned to face him. Their gazes locked.She quietly flitted her eyes away before walking to the small table. She picked the glass piece for decor and faced him.Her eyes bore into his with hostility and emptiness. "This is me," her face was devoid of any emotion, and the girl let the piece fall on the floor, crashing it into millions of sharp little pieces. The crashing noise echoed in the murky silence of the room. The drapes kept the glow of light to invade the room.Axel inhaled sharply as he scrutinized her, trying to decipher her. Her terse tone worried him.E
She didn't know why the car ride was agonizingly slow. Maybe he was deliberately driving slowly so they would reach late.Mia had informed her that he was waiting for her outside in the car. By the time he called for her, the sky was already a shade of dark blue with the night approaching fast.Evelyn was fidgeting with her fingers anxiously, staring out of the window. The air in the car was thick with his rich cologne and it was a constant reminder he was sitting beside her.Her hand moved to grab the pendant out of habit but suddenly she was aware of her loss and then as if tons of weight was toppled on her. She realized the daunting reality.She wasn't human anymore. What if she ended up hurting Joshua? Pressing her sweaty hands together she chewed on her bottom lip.What if Joshua found her truth? He would hate her and think of her as a monster. Her poor heart couldn't bear this. Her soul would shatter if her brother thought of her like that. She didn't even know how he would reac
The duffel on her shoulder fell on the floor with a soft thud as she held her cheek with her face inclined to the side because of the forceful impact of the slap.Her smile was lost but still, she tried to force a smile on her split lips. She tasted blood in her mouth. Slowly she straightened to look at Josh who stood in the doorway fuming in rage."What the f*ck are you doing here?" He snarled but all her innocent eyes could see were the tears streaming down his cheeks. He looked weak. Drained. There were vivid dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have shrunk immensely. Her poor heart stumbled in grief at his sight. What have they done to her brother?The twitch in his jaw had her batting her eyes in confusion. Her cheek throbbed but she turned away from the pain and focused her eyes on her brother."Josh," her voice; a soft whisper as she advanced with an intent to embrace him in a tight hug, cry her miseries and sorrows away on his chest, to feel his warmth and feel safe but t
The panic and hysteria that had engulfed her senses soon faded away when those familiar blue eyes gaped down at her.Susan had a stern look on her face and she was glaring down at Evelyn with complaints dancing in her spheres."Quiet." She warned before scurrying to her feet. Susan poked her head out before looking around making sure no one saw them and then she shut the door locking it instantly.Leaning her back against the door she let her shoulders slump and sighed heavily. "That was close," She murmured under her breath.Evelyn who straightened up on the floor looked up and found Susan peering down at her with her arms crossed across her chest.The girl sniffed before wiping her face of any tears and got to her feet.Evelyn felt so small in front of her. Susan was always there when she needed her but in the past month or more Evelyn has ignored all her calls and messages when Axel restricted her from leaving the mansion.She wanted to tell Susan everything but knowing her, Evelyn
"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
