"Why don't you want to talk to me? Are you upset" Alice asked in a soft voice."Yes." Devon answered in a low voice."At me?" Alice raised her eyebrows. How could he mad at her when she was the one who got bitten by his beast?. She wanted to wake up earlier but it wasn't possible, till joan arrived. Devon shook his head quickly, when he saw the confused expression on Alice's face. "At myself""Why?" Alice didn't feel sleepy, though the night had gone very late and the moonlight illuminated the room through the window glass."I hurt you. I put you in danger" Devon said in a matter of fact tone."You didn't do it intentionally." Alice tried to reason with him. She snuggled closer toward Devon. Who moved back to avoid her touch."Don't move please…" Devon frowned, he gritted his teeth from seeing surprise on Alice face. He didn't dare to touch her neck or any part of her body, afraid he would add her misery. "I will call Lilith."Devon was about to get off from the bed, but Alice clutc
Devon froze when he heard Alice's words. "What did you just say? '' He asked softly but got no reply from Alice, who had already fallen asleep."How can you love me, when I hurt you. You should hate me and run away from me" Devon mumbled.He tilted his head to look at Alice's sleeping face. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, like she wasn't afraid it would hurt her. He couldn't help but smile.Devok knew then that he could bear it if she suddenly didn't want to be with him. He didn't think he could take it. "I love you too and I will always do love" He whispered in her ear before planting a soft kiss on her forehead….Devon then got up beside her slowly and exited the room. He made her fall fast asleep before leaving.Liam was waiting for him in his study already when he walked in. "How is she?" His brother asked."Fine" He replied simply before walking to the couch and taking a seat opposite Liam, who was staring at him with curious eyes."I can't believe this is happening to us. I
Diana was being generous enough to bathe Alice personally, even though Lilith and Joan would be more than willing to do it for her, coupled with the witch lame excuse to chase Devon out of the room was enough reason to question her true intention.There was a fleeting surprise passed her eyes before she resumed her brilliant smile and sat down on the bed beside Raine."I want to know if you met Selene, did she tell Joan what to do ?" It wasn't a baseless question, Diana had her own speculation about how Alice could recover so fast, but she needed to ask a few questions to confirm it. She was more than sure that Joan couldn't use her powers based on what Alice had told her about her, before she fell unconscious. So how all of a sudden?."I met with both of them.." Alice replied."Explain exactly what happened" Diana said curtly and helped Alice to take off her pink pajamas."When Devon bit me…"Alice cringed with the memory when the beast had bitten her, the pain was unbearable and for a
Alice could see the flash of surprise and what she thought was sadness in the witch's eyes, though it only lasted for two seconds before she regained her composure and resumed her haughty behavior.Shrugging her shoulder, she spoke icily. "Who is the person"Alice really wanted to know why Diana looked sad or was she mistaken. Of course she was, Aside from her bad attitude, couldn't she just reply nicely and show some normal human emotion at least once in a while?No, of course she couldn't. First, she was literally not a human and second, Alice doubted, even in which circle Diana could consider as normal. She has a poisonous tongue and hateful speech."Okay, you are done!" Diana wiped Alice with a dry towel before she walked toward her closet and took out another pajamas."I don't want to clean your lower body, do it yourself or ask Devon to do it for you." Diana said as she gave the pajamas that she had retrieved from the closet to Alice."Why are you helping me only half way?" Alic
What's going on?" Devon stopped in his tracks when he saw Alice turn away the moment she saw him come in. "Why? Are you hurt?"It was clear to see that something was bothering her and he didn't know what it was. He tried to move close to her but she only took two steps back."No, don't come near me…" Alice whined as she covered her face.While Devon was trying hard to think what was the reason for Alice's distress, his mate was thinking about the Ugly appearance." love, don't scare me…" Devon took another step closer and Alice couldn't avoid him as her back had hit the wall behind her."Don't look at me…" Alice spoke rigidly."What?" Devon was unsure about what he heard. "Why? What happened?""I am ugly…" Alice was almost crying when she said this. What if this was how she would look permanently?"What?" This time Devon was genuinely confused, he couldn't figure out why suddenly Alice came up with that nonsensical thought? "No, of course not."Devon took another step closer and now t
"Alice!" Devon called out her name out of frustration, how could she threaten him like that? Did she forget already about what he did?"I don't want you to treat me like this!" Alice wrapped Devon's huge frame with her arms as she carefully placed her head on his chest. "I don't want you to avoid me…""Did you forget what I have done to you?" Devon still didn't reciprocate Alice's hug, he kept his arms beside his body, yet he let Alice clung on him.Now, both of them were sitting on the cold bathroom floor, seemingly no one from them wanted to go to the warm bed, just a few steps away from there."No, of course not. That was very scary, I thought I would die." Alice blurted out the truth.Devon's eyes darkened and turned even more rigid than a second ago. He knew that he almost killed her, how he would forget the feeling when he just regained his control over his beast and found his mate was bleeding in his arms. He was dumbfounded and even didn't know what to think.His mind tried t
No it can't be…" Alice was astounded as her mind turned blank. Then a sudden rush of realization attacked her.Now, she couldn't possibly think about Devon, without him not knowing. No! She thought about him all the time… how could she possibly stop this?. She had been thinking out loud inside her mind safely for the last twenty years of her life. This was so mortifying because Devon would know every bit of her thought."Yes." Devon smirked, his mood really got better upon seeing his mate fluttered expression."This is so embarrassing…" Alice bit her lips while looking at him in horror. She was always thinking about Devon when they were already so close like this and made a mental note about his habit, but now she couldn't do that.Alice has to admit that some of her thoughts weren't appropriate.Like; how handsome he was, how beautiful those eyes and how she liked it when he kissed her… No!"I don't need to read into your mind to know that." Devon laughed, his eyes sparkled under th
"Give me a good reason for that!" Devon asked Diana through his gritted teeth.The Alpha really wanted to take her back to their own territory, but the witch kept making everything difficult for him.And now, what would be the reason for her to keep Alice in this now dangerous city?. He wasn't sure what was what anymore, anyone could be a black witch or shapeshifter, which could harm Alice.The thought made Devon's eyes turn grim."Control yourself would you. She is right in the living room, or do you want your beast to attack her again" Diana pointed out. He could hear Alice excited chatter with her new friend Joan. Diana was right he didn't want to scare her in any wayKace, who was in the room staring back and forth at them, stiffened. He wondered if one day Diana would get her neck snapped by Devon, she was getting bolder with each passing day, now that she was back to her beautiful appearance. He could see a frown settled on Devon's face.Like her usual self, Diana didn't care or
