ADONIS’s POV.Looking back at the sleeping figure in front of me, anger washed over me. She looked so fragile and so frail, I hated myself for leaving her alone. Now she was hurt because of me. I remembered how she looked when I saw her at the school clinic. At that point I wanted to kill that lecturer that dared to touch her. My beast almost jumped out of me. I was the only one allowed to inflict pain on her because of the circumstances of everything, not any dick and Harry. The urge to kill her attacker was so strong back then, I didn’t even know how I was able to calm myself down and bring her home.As if that was not enough, Ashely found out information about the lecturer and it was not what I was expecting.The more I thought about it, the more upset I got.I raked my fingers through my hair staring back at her, I hated myself so much.Using the quilt to cover her, I made my way out of the room.The moment I entered mine, I felt her presence. Looking up, I saw her standing near
ADONIS’s POV.Seeing the old witch and Ashely walk into the cave, a low growl left my mouth, i could smell her blood and how I wanted it, the battered body of Miss loretta was scattered all over the floor and i remembered how thrilling it was when I decimated her entire body into tiny bits. I remember how much she screamed and begged but my beast was past caring about that, it tore her into a million pieces and her blood was still flowing around the entire place.Now I was seated on one of the rocks. My upper body filled with a lot of injuries inflicted on myself but I watched as most of them closed up, my regenerative abilities was one of the best things I loved about myself.“How disgusting” Ashley muttered under his breath but it was loud enough for me to hear and I glared at him.“But it’s better than killing innocent people, I was getting tired of cleaning the tracks for you”“How about you become my next meal?” I growled at him, talking slow steps towards him. My eyes fell on
SCARLETT’s POV,Adonis was sprawled on his bed when I sauntered into his room, his face broke into a smile the moment his eyes rested on me, he looked happy to see me.“I was wondering when your friend would leave” he said, his eyes bearing into my body, “I was getting impatient”“If you missed me that much, why didn’t you stay until this morning?” I lowered myself on the space beside him, “but you hopped off before i could even wake up”“I had to take care of somethings, sweetheart” he pulled me closer to himself gently, not wanting to upset the collar on my neck, “and I missed you like crazy”“Did you?” I asked coyly.Ever since the attack yesterday, I was more than determined to be with this man and find out what everyone would do. The fact that Miss Loretta would go ahead to attack me meant that he had more admirers than I could ever imagine, the thought of it thrilled me. I loved the fact that he chose me over all of them, he wanted me and somewhere inside of me, I wanted him too
SCARLETT’s POV.The moment I moved away from him, Mr Fenrir’s forehead creased into a frown and he looked confused.I didn’t want to believe the fact that he had something to do with her death but then again, he was just as furious as me when she attacked me.“Calm down, Scarlett” a voice said inside of me and I heaved a sigh.“What’s wrong, baby?” Adonis asked me, “what happened?” His brows furrowed together.“Miss Loretta is dead” I said to him and I saw how his eyes shifted for a brief moment.“Who is that?“My lecturer” I answered, “The woman who attacked me, she was found dead and battered up”“Oh, that’s so bad”I kept looking at him, not wanting to believe that he was involved in what happened to her.“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked him again.“Did you know?” I couldn’t stop myself anymore, “did you know that she was dead”“You are just telling me now”“You didn’t look surprised”“Should I say she deserved it?” He inquired, “she hurt you and that was her karma..”
ADONIS’s POV.“What the actually fuck!!” I yelled In anger grabbing onto Ashely neck, “why the heck did you make such a mistake?”“I am sorry,” he said.“Sorry?” I angrily shoved him against the wall and he gasped in pain, “Will sorry take care of the situation? Why the fuck didn’t you throw her fucking body somewhere? You have been handling these for years, how could you make such a mistake now? What the heck were you thinking?” I was mad, so upset that my beast wanted to jump out of me and tear him into a million pieces.“How can you make such a mistake, Ashely?” I asked him again, “where the fuck was your brain?”“I knew they were bound to look for her and I had no choice but to make it easier for them. Nothing is going to lead them back to us, sir. The police ruled it out as a homicide but no one knows anything about the culprit, no one will find out about this”“You think I am talking about myself?” I growled in anger, my veins standing on edge, “you think I am concerned about m
SCARLET’s POV.Everyone kept looking at me funny as I walked into the class, it has been three days after all the shenanigans but the buzz has not yet calmed down.I couldn’t blame them though, I would also be in the same position as them if the tables were turned.Right now I am only worried about Mr Fenrir and how he was copping. He told me he would find the culprit and I believed him, he found Fiona’s murderer so he could also find this one. I just hope it is soon so no one will say anything about him.“Hey” Maria’s voice filtered into my ear and she came to stand beside me, “how’s your neck now? Feeling better?”“Yes” I told her with a forced smile on my face, “I am better”“That’s good to hear, everyone is still talking about what happened”“Well, they are free to” I shrugged, lowering myself on my chair, “it’s a free world”“I hate the fact that Mr Fenrir was thrown in the midst of all that, he is a good man”I let out another sigh, I was more worried than her and how I wanted
ADONIS’s POV.Walking into the interrogation room, Scarlett gripped my hand in fear when she saw the man seated. Ashley sure outdid himself. I couldn’t help but wonder where he actually found this savage looking man from.“He clearly looks like a killer,” Scarlett whispered to me, tightening her hold on me.“He sure does” I answered, “he gives me the creeps”“He actually turned himself in after Mr Ashley brought him to us” the detective in charge of the case said, “he just came to us and said he wanted to confess his crimes. We did our investigation and yes, he murdered Miss Loretta”Scarlett’ gasped, apparently she couldn’t believe that one could murder someone like that.“You did well coming to speak the truth” I turned my attention to the man, “who would have thought”“She was a nosy bitch” he spat, “she had to die, I did well to decimate her body into tiny pieces but well, I guess my karma was nearer than I even thought, I couldn’t sleep and she kept hunting me”I scoffed, was thi
SCARLETT’s POV.With one last look at the mirror, I smiled in satisfaction. Luckily it was a Saturday and we had the whole day to ourselves. Adonis was busy in his study and I have decided to keep him company.I grabbed the book I had gotten earlier before making my way towards his study.A soft knock on the door and his baritone voice urged me in.Pushing the door open, I gasped when I saw him seated behind the huge Mahogany table.He was clad in a black pair of Tshirt and his hair was tied in a messy bun, his glasses sitting pretty on his nose.My heart skipped a beat, this man was surreal, like he was not from amongst us. His tattoos were not even helping, a gangster and an angel all in one.“Are you going to keep staring like that or you are going to come to daddy?” He lifted his head from the documents he was reading and I clenched my jaw. My lace was already wet just by looking at this piece of delicious candy in front of me.“Why do you always look so good without trying?” The
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
