CHAPTER SIX

ADONIS’s POV.

I can’t help but chuckle at her own thoughts. How could she even think that about me? How the hell did she come up with the idea that I was a pedophile.

The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to laugh.

“Pull over” she suggested after a while making my forehead crease into a slight frown.

“Why?”

“Pull over,” she said again.

Heaving a sigh, I pulled the car over by the side of the road before turning my gaze to her.

“Why?” I asked, “what happened?”

“Are you a pedophile?” Scarlett inquired, “Is that why you said you were my guardian?”

Despite my confusion, I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. Is she fucking kidding me right now?

“What did you say?”

“I asked if you were a pedophile” she said again, “is that why aunt brought me to you? Did you pay her off when you saw a beautiful lady like me?”

Beautiful?

Yes, she definitely is but I have seen other gorgeous women too.

“Well” i jerked the engine back to life, “if that’s what you think”

I guess that’s better than me telling her I was a lycan fated to meet my end by her hand. I mean who would believe that anyways, definitely not the little tigress seated on my passenger’s seat.

“What are you doing?”

“Going home”

“I want to come down,” she insisted, “I am going to go to the police station and report you. Here I was thinking you were some angel in human form and now…

I roared In laughter, now this is hilarious. How could she say this to me?

“The police station is far off” I told her, “do you want me to take you there?”

“What?”

Not bothering to wait for her response, I zoomed off towards the station. Maybe she needed a little convincing to see that she actually belonged to me and I owned her.

After a while, I brought the car to a halt in front of the police station and I saw how Scarlett's eyes opened wide as saucers. She was not expecting it and I was not expecting to bring her to the station because she called me a pedophile.

“We are here” I announced.

“Are you trying to make me feel like I’m doing something wrong by trying to report you?”

I pressed back against the chair, a smirk lingering on my face.

“You wanted to come to the station and now I have brought you. You are free to make your report”

“You…” the words hung in her mouth when someone walked up to us and on seeing us, he bowed lightly.

“It is an honor to see you here, Mr Fenrir” . It is the chief of police, “what brings you to our station?”

“She wants to make a report” I told him, “so I brought her”

“Young lady”. He flashed scarlet a small smile, “as long as you have Mr Fenrir's backing, no one will harm you. Tell me, what have you come to report?”

The more he spoke, the more I could see the confusion written on her face.

Need I tell her that a soldier is more respected than a police officer? I have seen it all. Hardship, fame, power, status and everything she could ever think of.

I was a soldier for seven years, the most torturous seven years of my life but this fact was only known to a selected few and now this lady beside me.

“She wants to make a report about me being a pedophile” I told the chief of police and I Scarlett's mouth hung open in awe.

“I am right, ain’t I?”

“I…” her voice trailed off, “of course” she blurted after a while, “he is a pedophile and I can prove that, he said he owned me, he said I belonged to him and all sort of bizarre things”

“Isn’t she the same lady you came to show the police your proof of guardianship?” The chief asked and I nodded.

“What?”

I couldn’t get over the look she had on her face and how I wanted to chuckle, she was so cute when she behaved like this.

“Proof of guardianship?”

“Yes, he showed us the report in order to avert future problems. You are really lucky ma’am, Mr Fenrir is different from every man I have ever come across” after talking to her, he returned his attention to me.

“I will take my leave now, sir”

With that he walked away leaving the two of us to ourselves.

“So can we leave now?”

She kept looking at me without saying anything and I knew that was my cue.

Turning on the ignition of the car, I zoomed off.

The ride back home was extremely quiet and I knew why, she had a lot going on in her head. This was all overwhelming for her and I totally understood. I would be in the same boat if I was in her place but right now I do not have the time to make her understand everything that was happening. I needed to break that curse and end whatever spell she casted on me, I was tired of being her puppet. I wanted to end it all and this lady beside me would be the one to help me achieve my dreams, no matter how hard it was.

After half an hour, I brought the car to a halt in front of the mansion and she immediately alighted without saying a word. I watched as she made her way into the house.

“Welcome sir” Vicky greeted.

“Thank you, Vicky,“ I answered.

“What do you want to have for dinner sir, we can get started on it”

“Do not worry about that, I will make dinner myself”

I said, “you all can retire for the day”

“You hardly allow us to make dinner for you sir…” she tried to talk but i halted her.

“Do not worry about me, I will make dinner”

With that, I made my way into the house and up the stairs.

As soon as I pushed open my door, I felt a familiar presence. One that had become part of my everyday life since the curse was laid on me.

I scoffed, venturing deep into the room, I must look like a fool to her.

“Aren’t you moving too fast?” Her voice reached my ears, “are you that eager to die?”

“Why?” I turned to her.

She was clad in a red gown that flowed down her entire body, her shoulders bare and the crown on her head giving off a dangerous yet an oddly warm feeling. The same woman who has placed this curse on me.

“Others wish for immortality but you want to end yours as fast as you can, Adonis”

“Do I need to answer that question?”I asked her. She has tortured me so much that I do not feel an ounce of fear towards her anymore. The highest she could do was kill me which I know she wouldn’t, she would rather punish me than give me an easy death.

“Lifting the curse will not be as easy as you think, Adonis” she said, “it is not as easy as you think even in the slightest”

“I will do everything to make sure i lift it” i hissed in anger, “anything at all”

“Very well then” a mocking smirk appeared on her face, “I want to see you pull this off, lycan”

I continued staring back at her until she disappeared from my sight and I slumped back on the bed. I will be damned if I let her win this time. No matter what, I will make sure Scarlett lifts my curse even if it means making her into my puppet.

“Are you sure about this?” My beast asked deep inside of me.

“Never been so sure” I muttered under my breath. When others wanted life, I was bound to end mine no matter what.
