Chapter 4

Delilah’s POV

.

Immediately that stranger landed on the dance floor, and blood started oozing from his mouth, but I least cared. I started dancing and jumping flawlessly as if I had done nothing and I was the most innocent person in the world. Liam observed what I had just done, but he shut his mouth, and other people were just too busy. It took a few seconds to finally realized that the man behind me had landed on the floor.

Everyone started whispering and gossiping and took their phone out to make a video.

“What happened to him?”

“Blood is oozing from his mouth.”

“I think he is sick. Please call the doctor.”, I said dramatically. “Or take him to the doctor; who knows he has blood cancer or something?” I added, on which people around me gasped. Soo, a couple of young men ran out of the VIP suits and reached near that stranger.

“Sahil? Sahil?”, They tried to wake him up, but he wasn’t waking him up.

“What happened to him?”, One of his friends asked in anger.

“Don’t know. We all were dancing, and all of a sudden, he fell down.”, Liam answered innocently, but that guy observed the marks of my heels on his friend’s face, and then his eye landed on the heels in my hand.

“You… you did this, didn’t you?” he asked.

Yes, I did it. I was about to admit it when he cried in pain all of a sudden and fell to the ground.

“Shawn? Shawn?”, Now, his other friends started screaming his name in worry.

By that time, the Manager of the club had come there. “If your friends are not well then, please take them to the doctor.”, he requested, and after a few minutes, that group left the club. 

And then the Dj started playing a new song again, ‘Where have you been’ by Rihanna.

“You were almost caught.”, Liam muttered in tension.

“Leave it and enjoy this song.”

I kind of liked this song, and along with that, I started moving my legs, my hips, and my arms, enjoying myself to the fullest.

I didn’t realize when a lot of people came between Liam and me, but we both could see other, so that was not a problem. Shaking my ass in the air, I turned around and saw the same man in black who had been staring at me for a long. He was dancing just behind me before, but now we were facing each other. He quickly raised his hand in surrender as if he was scared that I would hit him too with the heels of my hand.

‘Did he see that I hit that man? Maybe. There could be a chance of that because he was observing my every activity.’

I giggled and shook my head as if I wanted to say that I wouldn’t hit him, not until he behaved. I wasn’t some sadist who enjoyed hitting men even though I felt a strange type of anger toward them until I knew them properly. 

He reached near me, dancing with the flow of the song, and I must say that, unlike me, he was great at the dance. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. The button of his black V-neck t-shirt was open, revealing his white skin.

What was happening to me?

Why was I getting attracted to him?

Hell, I couldn’t understand why I was not stopping him when he kept his hand on my waist with the flow of the song.

To be honest, we were getting naturally close to each other like magnets. He touched my face with his finger and pushed the few strands of hair behind my ear, and a wave of spark hit my body, and immediately I realized that he was not human. Now, I understood why the hell I was feeling like him toward him. I kept dancing with him without letting him know that I had already sensed his identity to know what kind of creature he was!

I waited for a while, but I couldn't see his eyes changing into black, golden, yellow, blue or green, or any other color, so he was surely not a werewolf because even after in contact with me, his wolf didn't come up even for a second because of excitement or out of joy.

I turned around to move away from him, but he followed me by wrapping his arms around my waist, and we moved our bodies with the rhythm. I was following his steps. His face was only a few inches away; I could see every detail of his face. I could feel the tension between us, and it was increasing with every single second. I felt his breath creasing my neck and my shoulders, and my breathing accelerated along with that.

What was wrong with me?

Instead of staying away from me, I was enjoying his company.

But why the hell, god, pair a hunter with a person who was not a human.

The song changed again, and this was Senorita.

‘Why a romantic song?’

This time, we… well, not actually we, he pulled me really close to him, his body against mine, his hands going up and down on my thigh. I felt his torso against my back. He put a hand on my stomach and let me dance against him, keeping us close together.

I recalled all my hunter instinct, but those were miserably failing because of the mate bond. He was definitely not a demon or angel because they could recognize their mate after touching them, and he had his eye on me much before touching me. And he might be a vampire, but then his body was not cold like a vampire, but at the same time, it was not hot like he was running in fever.

God! I would go mad.

Why couldn’t I recognize the creature that was with me?

‘That’s maybe because I still have to learn a lot of things.’

A part of me felt guilty for enjoying his touch, this closeness so much being a hunter, but I didn’t want to stop too. I was not drunk and was fully in my sense, but still, I felt like I was intoxicated. My mind was barely concentrating on the song in the background. I must say that the person with whom was decent, at least for now. Though he was touching me from time to time but not once did his touch makes me feel pissed and angry, or his face and my heels would have kissed by now.

Now, I wanted to take a break from this dancing. I think I danced a lot tonight.

“I need a break.”, I said before I stopped. He thankfully let me go, and I started missing his warmth against my body but quickly recovered from it. I need a soft drink. I was feeling thirsty. When I reached the bar, I ordered a virgin mojito and then looked for Liam so that he could pay.

But the person with whom I was dancing spoke.

“Put it on my tab.” I clenched my thighs. God. Could I feel this way just from his voice?

I looked at him and then averted my eyes and focused my mind on my drink.

“Can we talk?” he said, on which I looked back at him. “I promise, I will behave or your heels and my face.”, he added with a smile.

“Sure. Go Ahead.”, I said.

“Not here to somewhere where only two will be there, just me and you.”, he explained more clearly. Should I trust him?

Of course, I should; he could be my first target if he turned out to be a jerk.

But at the same time, I didn’t have my weapon with me.

But that was the test to handle someone like him in a situation when I didn’t have my weapon with me. I still knew how to use magic, right?

“Where?”

“Here itself! So that I can book a VIP suite for both of us.”

“Okay!!” I agreed, sipping my drink. I looked around and found Liam staring at both of us with a sly smile. He raised his eyebrow, on which I shook my head, and then I found him approaching me.

Reaching to my other side, he whispered, “Don’t mind kicking his ass if he misbehaves, okay?”

Little did he know that the stranger standing in my other direction could hear it. That was why he was angry and frowning when I was close to Liam at first, but when he would have heard Liam’s words, I was sure he would have known that Liam was gay.

“Don’t worry about it.”, I smiled at him.

“Margarita, please.”, Liam ordered, but when he was about to pay, the bartender didn’t take it.

“Already put on his tab, Sir.”, He said, and Liam looked at that stranger who was busy with the Manager for the suite. I didn’t bother to hear their conversation.

“Just this or anything?” Liam asked, grinning like a kid.

“Anything.”

“Annnyyythhinggg,” Liam smirked, on which I rolled my eyes. “I’m planning to…”

“Keep in mind that bt any case, I would end up kicking him, then we will have to pay the bill by watching the floors. So, one should not go beyond his or her capacity.”

“Oh, okay.”, he nodded his head, agreeing with me. “Here. Your phone, in case you need it.” he gave my phone to me before adding. “Now, Bye!!” he winked, looking at someone behind me, and walked toward the dance floor again.

I smiled, looking at him, wondering how much stamina this kid had.

“Come on!”, That stranger’s words rang in my ear, and I felt my stomach getting twisted a little; he suddenly grabbed my hand and took me with him. I followed him behind the VIP suite that he booked recently for us.

Finally, reaching the VIP suite, I realized that everything that surrounded here was MONEY.

How rich would he be?

This was the first time in the VIP suite and maybe the last as well. I examined each and everything curiously. I looked at him to see what he was doing, but he was relaxing on the couch, leaning an arm on the rail. At the same time, a waitress walked in with two glasses. A blueberry mojito for me and some alcohol for him. If he could drink or eat, then he couldn’t be a vampire.

He must be a werewolf. However, I haven’t seen any sign of his wolf yet.

Though I thanked the waitress for the drink, I didn’t touch it. What if he would have asked for something to mix in it.

“If you are thinking that I would have asked to her spike your drink, then be assured. I haven’t asked anything like that.”, he said.

“Can you read my mind, or do I say that loud?” I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

He chuckled before speaking, “Neither can I read your mind nor did you say that loud. It’s just you were suspiciously looking at the mojito, that’s why I said so.”, he said and picked my mojito and drank half of it. “See, nothing is mixed in it.”

“Anyway, thank you for the dance, Miss ____”

“Delilah. I’m Delilah.”

“Beautiful name. I’m Cassius.”

“Cassius. Hmm. Meaningful name.”, I said in the way, just like he did.

“This is your first time here in the pub, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. Liam, my friend dragged me here because it’s his birthday today.”

“Then I must thank him for bringing you here.”

“You’re from here?” I asked, on which he shook his head.

“Luxembourg.”, he replied. “I came here in search of something very precious.”

Was he indicating to me? His mate?

Shit… I would have to break his heart that I couldn’t be his mate. Hell, even he wouldn’t accept me as his mate, knowing about me. I bit my lip at that thought, and immediately the thought of rejecting him broke my heart. But hanging with a person who was not human was no less than calling for trouble.

“By the way, you’re from here?” he asked to which I nodded. I didn’t lie to him because he wouldn’t definitely smell it if he was a werewolf.

I glanced at him, thinking of leaving. What the hell did I think when I agreed to come with him to the VIP suite? It was a completely wrong decision.

‘Don’t be stupid, Delilah.’

“Delilah.”

Wow. I felt great and excited to hear my name from his mouth.

“Yes”

“Are you single?”

“I’m, but I’m not ready to mingle.”, I replied back before he could have any second thought. Hurt flashed in his eyes, but well, I couldn’t give any false hope to me.

“Why?”

“Because my career is my priority. You see, I’m just sixteen, and … and thought of a relationship scares me because of my personal reasons.” I paused before adding, “I’m sorry, but I can’t be in a relationship with anyone ever.”

I didn’t give a difference of age or something because, after a couple of years, I would grow old while he would still be the same.

Also, I was aware of that cheesy line that all weight, age, and height are just numbers.

“Won’t you give me a chance? I can’t change the thing that happened in your past, but if you will give me a chance, then I might be able to show you that relationships are not that bad. And about your career, I won’t mind waiting for you to be successful. See, just like birds, everyone should be allowed to fly in the sky, but at night even they have to return back at home. Maybe you don’t need a relationship at sixteen, but what about the relationship at twenty-six?”

I opened my mouth to say ‘NO,’ but he beat me.

“I know you don’t look like a person who believes in love at first sight, but I do, and you might get a little amount of shock after knowing that I’m already in love with you.”, He blunt confession his disarming.

‘Don’t get into this mess, Delilah, just don’t, don’t, don’t….’, My mind kept warning me.

I kept staring at his very serious expression for god knows how long until he brought me back to reality, “Say something.”

Well, what should I say? When I had no idea what to say, how to react, and the moment I opened my mouth to speak. I literally wanted to slap myself.

“You’re joking, right?”
