Demi's povNo! please don't! These would be my words if I could speak at the moment. I would cry out and beg them not to do this but I could only watch as they went on with their motive.Anya put the match box back in her pockets and went forward to the front door. She placed a chair under the door knob and broke other chairs littering the wood everywhere and as she did, she poured a new can of gasoline over them.The bag they had brought in houses all these.They followed with littering my torn clothes over everywhere, from the sitting room to the bedroom, kitchen, and other rooms and this they intended would make the fire spread faster.I couldn't stop them when they dragged me on the chair and into the bathroom. "And even if someone was to get to the house to save you, you will be long gone before they find you here." Anya's mother smiled, "You can say your last words, oops! I forgot cat got your tongue." she laughed as she exited leaving just Anya and I."Let me see you get ou
Anya's povSatisfaction hit me when I tied her up helplessly, more of it filled me when my mother and I scattered the clothes and broken pieces of wood around the house and when we littered the floor with gasoline, when I poured it over her and littered outside around the house in a neat trail with it.I was filled with glee the moment I lit the match stick, the way the singular trail of fire spread and burst into flames engulfing the sitting room. There was laughter when we both vanished into the environs and lit it on fire as well.And I could smell victory when I masked the burning scent with magic, it would last an hour and a half and by then no one who comes along to save her would be able to.I had it all calculated.Bopha her stupid friend who was a freak as well was away with Elara and her stupid fat brother. They went to get ice cream and would take a while as it was some sort of fair outside our territory and I know they would love the boy to enjoy himself which meant them
Eros's povI raced back, planting my feet on the ground firmly before leaping and slamming my body against the door for the fourth time and it gave way, bringing me down with it and crashing into leaping flames.Find her! Raphael barked as I drew my shirt over my nose and waved away the smoke with my hand, she's deep inside. I followed his direction trying to navigate my way through the smoke and fire. The atmosphere smelled bad, it was nauseating but I needed to find my mate and not let my weakness affect me.I could feel the smoke clouding up my lungs and clogging my nostrils as I struggled hard to breathe. My breath intake was tainted and smoke clung to my eyes making it teary and I found it hard to see.The whole place was in shambles, I barely dodged a beam of fire as it fell almost on top of me. I got on my hands and knees and began to crawl my way through.Going through the smoke and flames trying to smell her but to no avail. Raphael was getting affected as I was and I was
Anya's pov I paced around my room biting at my nails severely at the possible outcome of Eros's trip to the out house. I was sure he would find her dead, burnt and charred. There was no way she could have survived what I had done and especially with the way I prepared it. I was sure of a job well done but the anxiety coursing through me made me doubt my mind and my capabilities. I didnt know whom to reach out to, to ask about the outcome or if they heard any news. If I was to go forward and ask all these, accusing fingers could easily be pointed at me and that was something that was to be avoided. If Eros should find out that I had been behind most of Demi's suffering all these while, he wouldn't hesitate to snap my neck and wipe out anything related to me including my mother for in as much as he was calm and level headed, he’d take brutal actions to protect whom he wanted. Hence, why I erased her and her brother's memory at the first accusation of her stealing and why I th
Demi's pov I snapped my eyes open, squinting her the lights hit my sight, my gaze settling on the masculine figure beside me who was peering down at me with worry and I could recognize the relief in his greens, the way his eyes sparkled seeing that I was awake? Alive? "Bambi!" He croaked wrapping his arms around me curating sparks and pulling me close, "You are alright, you are safe." I could feel the sparks where we touched, I hated the warmth that filled my belly when he stroked his palm against my arm and when he placed his lips on my forehead kissing it gently before spewing words of gratitude. His scent was masked with that of smoke and fire, like he had been trapped in a burning building and when he laid me back on the bed and rushed out to call the healer I took a good look at him. I could see that he was bare chested, his back was littered with wounds and the pants he had on were charred in some places, there was soot all over his skin and face. His chest also had wo
Demi's pov Eros came back with a package in his hand, his long leaned fingers clutched to it as he entered, filling the room with the sweet aroma making it known that it was packed dinner. While the Doctors and healers fused around and above me per his orders to make sure that I was alright, He set about preparing the table for me and the moment the aroma hit my nose, I knew it was my favorite food. My stomach rumbled so loud in response that everyone in the room heard and my mate looked at me with a smile before slightly shaking his head in amusement and going back to setting the food as the healers walked out. He also had a separate tray which he had set for Haris also containing an entirely different delicacy as Haris's favorite food was different from mine. We had never had a conversation for him to know about me and I had never told him or anyone or even Dmitri but he seemed to know everything even to my favorites that I never mentioned because I knew I wouldn't have the lu
Demi’s pov Bopha came in and quietly took Haris with her after Eros had instructed her to make dinner for him again and he gave him a loving pat on the head before they got out. And now all his attention was on me and I sat up abruptly on the bed, fear coursing through me as the emotion in his eyes heightened. He reached me, his greens peering down at me scanning the length of me and I could swear that he picked me apart noticing every scar, every wound, every blemish and every fault in me. I couldn't help but cower in insecurities and try to drag the blanket to cover myself. "Don't." He held it down forcing it out of my hand. "Eros." I called out not meeting his gaze. "Eat first, talk later." He dragged the table having my food towards me and I smiled slightly, my eyes delighted at the mere sight of the food. He laughed this time when my stomach rumbled again and drew in to drop a kiss on my forehead but he sneezed afterwards reminding me of my earlier thoughts. I didn't a
Eros's pov The very first time I saw Demi in the forest, illuminated under the moonlight with her beauty radiating from within her, beaneath her appearance that told the tales of what she had borne in life which were housed in her eyes, I knew I had to protect her and show her that she was much more than her looks or what she thought of herself. But from that very moment, I couldn't do that as I wasn't man enough to be her mate. I had weaknesses which forced me to put a distance against my will, watching her from afar and wishing I was as normal as Dmitri to be with her. I had already reached a resolve to breach the untrust that she had for me and fight the weakness to be with her. A resolve that I still had doubts about. I still wanted to know if I should simply let her be with Dmitri or redeem myself and fight for her. All doubts were cleared from my mind like the disappearing fog on a cold morning when my Bambi collapsed in my arms, breaking into tears as I tried to sooth
