ADONIS’s POV.Walking out of the room, the smirk on my face disappeared and the image of her confused face settled somewhere in my head.She looked so confused when I kissed her and when I told her to fall in love with me, I mean I would also be dumbfounded if the reverse was the case but right now that’s the only thing I could do. To make her mine and rid myself of this curse. Truth be told, I could already taste the sweet taste of victory at the tip of my tongue.She was seated on my bed when I walked into my bed and I was not surprised, she had become a frequent guest ever since I brought scarlett to the house.“Something tells me that you are beginning to love my company, goddess” I said, “you do not miss a chance to meet this unworthy subordinate of yours”“That might be true” she said, “but I want to be actively involved in everything about that child. She is a human after all and I can do little about her she warms my heart”I turned to her for a split second.“You know you can
ADONIS’s POV.I stood afar watching as Scarlett held onto the old lady’s hand, waiting for the coffin to be lowered into the grave. She was dressed in a black gown that stopped just before her knees and her long hair was pulled up in a neat ponytail, her shoulders kept shaking and I knew she was in tears. I wanted to go further and take her home but I kept wondering how little Fiona would feel seeing her killer standing over her grave or what I would tell Scarlett when she asked where I left last night. She was in so much pain yesterday but I couldn't stay to console her, I couldn't risk transforming in front of her and making her more scared than she already was. I just left her in the house and asked the workers to keep an eye out for her.I stared down at my wrists and heaved a sigh, the injury from the chain was gone but i could still feel it in my bones, i could still hear my own screams as I struggled to break those chains but Ashely knew what he was doing when he said he would
SCARLETT’s POV.I sat in my thoughts for close to an hour as the words of Mr Fenrir continued to ring in my head, he didn’t look like he was joking, he was damn serious and I could see it in his eyes and the way he has been acting since we entered the house. My life has changed dramatically over the past couple of days and I was not so sure how to react. I was brought here under the assumption that he was my guardian and now he wanted me to love him amidst this Fiona saga. It felt like my mind didn’t even belong to me again because I was not sure what to do at this point.I was seated on the couch, my attention on the television in front of me but I was not even paying attention to the screen in front of me.Finally, I heard his footsteps from the top of the stairs and my breath hitched.Mr Fenrir was dressed in a pair of black pants and a crisp white shirt which was neatly tucked into the pants, his hair was left to fall in ringlets beside him and oh my gosh, he looked like someone
SCARLETT’s POV.The drive back home was a silent one. None of us said anything to each other after I asked him to stay and he didn’t say anything. I hate to come off like I was being a disturbance so I didn’t say anything again.As soon as we pulled over, I thanked him and made to climb out but he grabbed a hold of my hand and I saw how his chest rose and fell against his crisp white shirt.As soon as his hand came in contact with mine, that feeling enveloped me again, it always came at random when I was not expecting it.It felt like Something dangerous and nerve wracking was brewing underneath everything and him.“I can’t stay with you tonight, sweetheart” he cut into my thoughts.“Why? I wanted to ask him but I decided against it, “it’s fine, I was stupid enough to ask you to stay” I gave an awkward smile, “what the heck was i thinking when I asked him to stay. He could do as he pleased, it wasn’t like he had to answer to me.“I am sorry for asking you to stay, I was just….“I prom
ADONIS’s POV..“Ughhhh” I groaned loudly as the pain continued to course through my entire body, the sound of my own bones cracking and forming into another shape held me spellbound. Day after day, week after week and now years after years has still not gotten me used to my original form.Looking at my reflection back in the small lake that surrounded me, I couldn't help but notice how hideous I look.This is the same cave that has been housing me for decades, shielding me away from the world that has been revolving around me.I struggled to break my own chains but once again, Ashely did a good job in securing me on a tight leash. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t break the chains but I knew it was part of my own resilience. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, I didn’t want someone else to die because of me.“Do you see yourself?” Her voice filtered through my ear and she appeared just beside me like she wanted to tame me and make me dance to her tunes,“Can you see the real you?”“Why
SCARLETT’s POV.By the time I got ready for school, the image of how Mr Fenrir looked earlier that morning had already sunk deep into my head.He was reeking of blood and I was sure it was a lot of it. I kept wondering how many people were injured because the smell was very pungent.A knock on the door cut into my train of thoughts and I heaved a sigh, the door opening slowly and his head popped in before his whole body.He was clad in a pair of navy blue suit, his hair was pulled back in a neat bun with a clean undershave.For a brief moment I let myself ogle at him, wondering how he got so lucky to be this beautiful because handsome wouldn’t do any justice to him.Luckily he was reeking of blood anymore but his cologne drew me in, I found myself breathing in and out quite often.“You are staring” he said, I have become so accustomed to these lines.“I thought you would have gone to work by now”“What kind of boyfriend would I be if I left my girlfriend and went to work?”Despite th
SCARLETT’s POV.I didn’t stop running until I got to the gates and that was when I stopped running. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, that feeling enveloped me again.How could he kiss me in front of everyone, how could he do that?The more I thought about it, the more upset I got aside from the fact that everyone was already staring at me like I was some kind of alien.Leaning on the wall near the gate, I tried to steady myself but my heart kept racing and pounding against my rib cage and I was one minute away from passing out.Flagging down a taxi, I immediately boarded and off it went, I didn’t want him to come and meet me here at any cost.After about thirty minutes, the car pulled up in front of his gate and I alighted. It was better to confront him here than in front of the whole school.Paying the fare, I turned around and sauntered into the gates and up to my room.The only thing I wanted to do now was just lay in my bed and just…I wasn’t sure how long I
ADONIS’s POV.I finally brought the car to a halt by the side of the road gritting my teeth together, it was bad enough that I could hear her thoughts and now she was bent on following me to god knows where.I didn’t expect her to be an inquisitive one and it was kind of getting on my nerves. Wasn’t she aware of the kind of danger she was walking into?Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I alighted from the car and walked over to the cab which was parked a few feet away from my car. She couldn’t even be discreet.I knocked on the car door and I saw her give an awkward smile before alighting.“Going somewhere?” I asked with a raised brow.“I was just on my way to Maria’s” she lied, “I didn’t know you were going the same route, I would have asked you to drop me off”For a moment I kept looking at her and I couldn’t help but laugh, was she kidding me right now? Was she trying to use reverse psychology on me?“You didn’t tell me you were going over to Maria’s”“Uhmmm” Scarlett’s scra
SCARLETT’s POV.Three years later.I ventured into the office, Alexander beside me briefing about the meeting ahead. I had just taken Jayden to his daycare and I had a very important meeting today. After that, I will take him to visit his father‘s grave. Yes, Ashley told me that they don’t perform funeral’s for their kind but I can’t let the memory of Adonis just fade away like that so I decided to create a special space for the three of us, a place where I can go to see him, a place I can go to speak to him please so I can tell him about his lovely son.Believe me, the past three years have not been easy without Adonis and Ashley here. Last year, Ashely died from an accident. It hurt me but I didn’t show it. I knew it was his time to die but he couldn’t even live to enjoy his new relationship with her.I shook my head to remove such thoughts. I was tired of being sad and disappointed in the universe for taking the people I love away from me and I was not going to do that anymore. I
ASHELY’s POV.If I was a minute late she would have been badly hurt. She didn't even move as I tried to attack her. She just kept looking like just waiting for them to finally kill her off. If I was just one minute late I didn't know how I would have explained to Adonis that I let his woman die.I pulled her into my embrace and moved her from the road. As soon as her attackers saw me they all froze, they didn't expect him to show up at that particular time. Thank the moon goddess I was fast enough to get here before they would have decimated her body into tiny pieces.” What the heck do you think you're doing? I asked the lot of them, "How dare you think you're gonna do that to her?” I yelled at all of them as I continued to glare at them.How did they think they could hurt her?“She fucking killed Adonis” one of them snapped in anger, “ she put a dagger through his chest without even asking permission from any of us. Who told her she had the right to take his life? We would have fo
SCARLET’s POV.My eyes opened up, and I pulled myself into a sitting position, the memory of what happened a while back, becoming fresh in my head. I genuinely didn’t want to wake up from sleep. I didn’t want to remember the fact that I will never be able to see him again. He left for good and I was the one who killed him. I put a fucking dagger through his chest and I watched him die. That was the least I could do for him. I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore, I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine when it was not. It was all because of me, it hurts so much to see him in that state, but it hurts more not to see him beside me holding onto me, cuddling me, calling me sweet names and telling me how much he loves me.I sat in my thoughts for minutes until my door pushed open and Ashley sauntered in looking like a shadow of his former self, his eyes red and puffy. He looked so sad that my heart wrenched in pain, I knew he adored Adonis. I knew he treated him like a brother and I kn
SCARLETT’s POV..“You can not save him” the lady continued to say, her hold on my neck becoming more and more intense like she wanted to sniff the life out of me and make me a corpse.I tried pushing her off but I was not as strong as i wanted, she was clearly much stronger than me.“For how long will you let him suffer?” She asked me again; her gaze darkening, “how selfish can you be? He is suffering and you care about your stupid love?”“I am looking for ways to keep him alive” I managed to say, still trying to remove her hands off my neck.“The more time you waste, the more time his chance of reincarnation depletes”“What?” My eyes opened wide for a moment, “can he be born again?”“Not if you keep making him lose his powers every time, scarlet. Kill him and rid him of all the pain and suffering he is going through. You are the only person who can keep him safe, the only person who can get rid off the curse for him”She finally let go of my neck and I fell to the ground, wincing in
ADONIS’s POV.“You are not healing, Adonis” Ashly said as he dabbed my side with a white towel.“I will be fine” I muttered even though I knew I was lying to myself. I wouldn’t be able to heal anymore, I couldn’t even feel my own energy anymore. Everything has changed and I knew it, my Lycan was slowly losing its powers and it was my fault. I fucking fell in love when I shouldn’t have.“You are losing a lot of blood, Adonis,” Ashely told me again as he continued dabbing my side with a towel. I was wounded by a mere wolf last night and thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but scoff. How dare a mere wolf stand in front of me? How dare a mere wolf bare its fang at me and hurt me. I ended up killing it but even at that, it still hurt my ego that a mere wolf would hurt me in such a way and I wouldn't be able to do anything.“I will be fine,” I told him, “there is nothing you can do about it anyways.“I have called a pack doctor and she will be here soon to stitch your wounds”“Hmm” I no
I opened my eyes gently and the whiff of blood in the air greeted me. Groaning softly, I tried pulling my body to a sitting position but a hand stopped me. I turned my head towards him and I saw Adonis, an expressionless look on his face.“You are awake” his voice came out in almost a whisper, he looked like he had been crying or something like that.“Are you okay?” I managed to ask him when he helped me pull my body to a sitting position.“Yes” he tucked a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I was just scared that you got into that accident, I shouldn’t have given you the car keys, I shouldn’t have allowed you to drive babe….” His voice trailed off as he held onto my hand gently, “I am so sorry princess, you are in this situation because of me.“You don’t look okay, Adonis” I reached out for his hand, “what happened?”One thing I have come to understand about this man is the fact that he could hide his emotions pretty easily but there is always that flicker in his eyes, th
ADONIS’s POV.I sat in silence as I continued to watch her slurp on her ice cream in silence. She looked so beautiful with her head down like that, one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen and I admire her so much.She tried as much as possible to help me and even went to the moon goddess. What surprised me the most was the fact that goddess Selene even agreed to meet her. Scarlett must really have a special place in her heart or she might just be keeping an eye on her.My phone beeped jolting me out of my thoughts and when I saw it was Ashely on the line, my countenance immediately changed.“What do you want?”“Can we meet up?” He asked me.“I don’t think you should want to meet me right now, Ashely. Severing your head from your body is still on the list of things I wanna do so you better stay away from me for the time being.“Please, Adonis….“I am fucking serious” I growled in anger before ending the call and slamming the phone on the table.“What happened?” Scarlett asked
SCARLETT’s POV.We both laid in bed, his hand snaked around my waist and my naked body pulled against his. My cheeks flushed just thinking about the most amazing moment we have just had. The best sex I have ever had and it was with fhs man I loved with everything I have ever got.“You know you could get pregnant right?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Hmm” I nodded, “I am well aware of that”“And still..,“I want to have your baby” I cut him off, “we lost our babies once and I don’t want to miss an opportunity to get another”“But you know I won’t be here..,.” I could hear the panic and the pain in his voice as he said those words, I sniffed not wanting to allow the tears to fall. I was well aware of this and it hurt me so much, so much that I wished I could take his place.“Even though you won’t be here, you will be watching us from afar and taking care of us right?”I wanted to make the atmosphere as warm as possible, I didn't want him to feel any ounce of pain or pressure
SCARLETT’s POV..“No” I half yelled as I jumped off the bed, “I am not going to put a fucking dagger in your chest”How could he even ask this of me? How could he look into my eyes and ask me to put a fucking dagger in his chest? How would I even be able to weild a dagger against him. My heart broke as his words continued to echo in my head.“I am not going to fucking do that” I spit in anger before slamming the bathroom door shut.I slumped on the ground as hard bitter tears rolled out of my eyes.I wasn’t even over our baby’s death yet and he was already asking me to kill him? Did he want to leave that bad? Was he so tired of me?“Baby?” His voice called out to me, just outside the door, “I know you can hear me”“Go away” I hissed, “I am not in the mood to talk to you. How could you ask that of me? How could you ask me to kill you”“Sooner or later, you would have to do that, scarlet” I heard him also slump on the ground too, his back ti the wall.“You and I know we can’t keep me a
