Evelyn tensed. Her heart exploded with pain. Oh, how much she needed a hug all this time. She hugged Axel but he pushed her away that night when he found her truth, she wanted to hug Josh and cry her pains away on his chest but he also tossed her away.Evelyn wrapped her arms around Susan and hugged her tightly as she sobbed.Susan rubbed her back as the girl cried her heart out. She was thankful to Susan for being here for her, otherwise, she didn't know what she would have done to herself.Evelyn pulled back sniffing and stared wide-eyed at the wet blotches on Susan's shirt. Susan followed her line of gaze and then gasped. "Don't tell me it's a snot?" She panicked.Evelyn sniffed and looked at her sheepishly."Oh, God. Evelyn, Ewww!" Susan feigned a cry and got to her feet. Marching into her room she emerged after a while, wearing another shirt before she tossed that old shirt at Evelyn's face. "You'll wash it," She blabbered and Evelyn pulled it back pouting.Grabbing a chunk of ti
The guy was tall and had a lean body. He has dirty blond hair and pale skin with blue eyes that were adorned with big spectacles that looked good on him giving him a handsome introvert look."I'm your neighbor," He said, throwing his thumb to the right and the girl fully opened the door before passing him a tight-lipped smile."I'm Evelyn. I just got here today," she introduced and the man nodded."Are you Susan's relative?" He asked suspiciously. "I'm her friend, she told me to crash here as I was looking for a place to stay," She revealed and his brows raised in understanding."Oh, I see. That girl, jeez. She told me to look after her apartment. She should've informed me about you then I wouldn't have embarrassed myself like this," He said. The guy seemed to be in his mid-20s."It's okay, really." She assured him."It's nice to meet you, Evelyn. If you need anything I'm just two steps away," He smiled and bobbed her head."Thanks, Chris." She whispered as the guy left the apartment
Susan chewed on her bottom lip as she stood in front of the front door contemplating whether to knock or not. Last night when she brought him a sandwich he was surprised and calmly asked her to leave. She explained that she shifted into the apartment beside him and thought to bring him dinner.He had appraised her skeptically before he took the plate and told her that Evelyn didn't live there anymore and she shouldn't show up again before he thanked her and closed the door.But Evelyn has given her the responsibility to look after Josh. She breathed in deeply and schooled her expressions before knocking once again.She heard his footsteps before he came to a pause. She was sure he must be glaring at her through the peephole.After a long pause, the door opened to reveal Josh. He looked like a mess and his eyes were swollen, he must've slept while crying."I told you she doesn't live here anymore," He rasped in a low voice.She wanted to tell him the truth but she didn't understand why
Evelyn didn't turn around but she squared her shoulders. "Move," His voice was strong and collected.She could feel his warmth moving away from her. She slowly turned around and her eyes met with those grey rims that had tormented her a lot.His hair was ruffled, his coat nowhere in sight, the tie was loosened and the first two buttons were open with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows giving him a messy rugged look."How did you get inside?" She asked calmly and the man couldn't help but just stare at her silently.F*ck!A week. He couldn't get to see her for a week and nor was he able to sleep properly in these last few days. The girl with big brown eyes was on his mind 24/7 and her scent. Every night he would find himself in her room sniffing her pillow like a creep but he couldn't help it. Though he had let her go, he couldn't get her out of his mind no matter how much he tried.And now as he stared into those chocolaty pools, he felt his heart relaxing a bit. "Through the door of
Evelyn finished cleaning the tables as she sat at one of the tables going through her phone. She was alone. Chris said he had to go for dinner with his friends. He wanted to close the shop early but she talked him out and assured him that she'll be fine and will close the shop.She texted Susan asking about Josh. She replied instantly saying he was sad but coping just fine. She was making sure he ate properly. Evelyn sighed after sending a loving heart emoji to her. She was so thankful to Susan for being there for Josh.The doorbell dinged as the door opened and four young men walked inside. She got to her feet and hurried to the counter to take their orders. Putting a smile on her lips she greeted them. "Good evening, sir. What would you like to order-" The girl paused and her eyes widened slightly when she inhaled the weird scent.They weren't humans. Her head shot up and she stared at them with her breath clogged in her chest.This was bad.They were tall with a good build. She woul
Terror gripped her soul and her heartbeat shot to a reckless pace. "No," She whispered meekly and that bald smiled sardonically before letting her go with such force that her head almost banged against the window but she shielded herself with her arm.He forced her to sit on the seat and held her wrist in a lethal grip.Simon must've wanted to kill her now. His plan failed after all. It was obvious somehow Axel found the truth and he let her go."What would you get out of this?" She asked, facing the guy beside her."Obviously, money," He muttered, bored as if her question was absurd to him."How much?" She queried.He chuckled as he rubbed a hand on his head and down his face. "That's just not it, girl. It's about loyalty to the heirs of our Lord," He stated and she blinked at him muddled.Lord? Heirs?"What Lord?" She asked calmly though her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid it would burst out of her rib cage.The guy looked at her with a cocked brow. "You don't know you
The hold on her nape was gone as she sat upright rather abruptly. Her vision was blurred and her head was dizzy as the girl painted heavily. Her chest heaving up and down erratically and her heart was thumping in her mouth. She fell back on her butt and her body weight rested on her palm as she faced the sky blinking rapidly to get her senses back.Evelyn barely heard the cries of pain behind her. Her whole body was in the icy cold water of the stream as it washed past her. Her vision cleared a little and she groggily got to her feet in an attempt to run but an ominous snarl that ripped through the air laced her skin with goosebumps.The voice inside her head screamed at her not to turn around but the voice of flesh being torn apart had her stomach churning up as she turned around only to stiffen at her spot.The creature in front of her had her blood freeze faster than frostbite.A huge black wolf stood at some distance tearing the flesh of three dead vampires.Evelyn watched in raw
He helped her into his shirt and closed all the buttons before he put his pants on her which were quite loose. But she was lying so it wouldn't come off which was fine. Once done he got up and hurried to the restroom. Getting all the blood off of him. He changed into shorts before joining her on the bed. He put his phone on the nightstand.She wasn't a weak human anymore but a half-vampire. She'd wake up by the morning. He just had to keep her warm for the night.Laying beside her he pulled the fragile girl to his chest as he covered them both with the blanket. Her small hands rested on his bare chest and they were ice cold. Grabbing one of her hands he dropped a gentle kiss on her knuckles before resting her palm on his chest.When he called Maxwell to ask about her day, he didn't expect what Maxwell screamed. For a second his heart ceased to beat, robbing him of his breath. Before he realized he was dashing out of his office to his car.His heart was pounding fast as he instantly op
