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
ADONIS’s POV.I was waiting to hear her tell me she loved me all along but hearing it from her now, it felt like my heart was ripped into a thousand pieces. She looked so happy saying it, she looked so beautiful, so proud saying it so why was I sad? Why was I upset about the fact that she told me she loved me? I should be happy, my dreams were only steps from being achieved so I should be fucking happy but no, I couldn’t even pretend to be happy, i just sat there looking at her like a dummy.My beast laughed at me, it was clearly mocking me. What was I expecting? Did I expect everything to go smoothly when the person who put me in this situation was not done with me yet?But why was I so sad? Why did she tell me she loved me and make me so sad?“Fuck!!!” The words were out of my mouth before I could even stop myself, I gripped the wheels tightly and closed my eyes. Right now, I couldn’t even control my emotions.“Are you okay?” She asked me, concern written all over her face.I was su
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
ADONIS’s POV.I kept pacing up and down the office, I couldn’t shake her image out of my head. I hated the fact that I was being a jerk to her vexed me but I needed her to understand the gravity of the situation. If it hadn’t gone according to plan, I would have fucking killed her and jus..“Sir” Alex’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I raised my head to meet his gaze.“It is time for the meeting sir”“I will be with you in a jiffy”He turned and walked out of the room while I pulled my body to a standing position, the thoughts of Scarlett still in my mind.“Fuck” I rubbed my hand over my face before making my way our of the office, first things first.As soon as I entered the conference room, everyone stood up to greet me. It had been a while since I saw all their faces but that didn’t mean I didn’t know what was going on in my company. I knew everything about everyone.“You may take your seat” I gestured to them and they all did as they were told.“We may begin” I told Alex w
SCARLET’s POV.The two of them sat staring back at me, Ashely’s jaw was still on the floor. He looked shocked and surprised, every emotion that one could actually think of while Adonis kept a stoic face. He was upset, really upset and I have been trying to talk to him but he hasn't said a word to me since I told him about what I read.They both couldn’t find it in the diary which kind of made me wonder if it was kind of a classified thing for me. How could they not see it when I could?“So you are saying you tried this out based off of something you wanted to experiment? Are you fucking kidding me right now?”“But here is he” I said to them, “nothing happened, at least we know he still has two more times where he won’t be able to transform”“You put your life on the fucking line” Ashely half yelled, “what if you read wrong and you failed”“But I didn…“You know what?” Adonis finally spoke, his tone curt, “I have been away from the office for too long, i should probably going in today”
ADONIS’s POV.With each passing moment, I was waiting for my bones to break and reconstruct. I was waiting to transform in front of her and tear her into pieces but nothing was happening. I have told her about everything she wanted to know and she was suprised to find out that the moon goddess was my very own mother who cursed me and left me to suffer.Well, Scarlett had a lot of negative things to say but she didn’t say anything, she was a bit scared of what could happen if she said any blasphemous words against her.The clock struck eight and my anxiety skyrocketed. I have never been in this kind of situation before. I have never taken this kind of risk before.I actually listened to her without bothering what would happen if I transformed right now.The bathroom door opened and she appeared by the door, a smirk lingering on he face. From the look on her face, I could already guess what she was thinking.“You look anxious” she said from the door before she began to take slow and ca
SCARLETT’s POV.As soon as we stepped into the house, I pulled him into my embrace. He didn’t fight me off, he didn’t say a word and just let me hug him.His whole body was shaking, he looked so fragile. He didn’t look like the creature that I saw earlier. Pain tugged at my chest, I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything about the pain he was feeling.“Scarlet?” His voice filled my ear and my eyes opened wide, making me pull away from him.“Your memories are back?” I asked, surprise etched on my face, “do you remember me? Your scarlet?”I was searching his entire body even if I didn’t know what I was searching for.“Talk to me, do you remember me?”“Why didn’t you run faster?” He asked while cupping my face, “I could have killed you babe, i could have done something awful to you” a tear sipped out of his eyes, “I was not in my fucking mind and u dared to touch you with those hands of mine. You should have left, you shouldn’t have seen me in that situation”He was fidgeting, his wh
ADONIS’s POV.I kept following her, her scent lethal to me. From the moment I opened my eyes, I could see her and her scent, she was someone I knew. She was my fated mate and now I wanted her. I wanted her like I have never wanted anyone before.Each step I took towards her made me all excited, I would finally be reunited with her after all these years.The adrenaline coursed through my veins as I continued to chase her deep into the forest, a smirk baring from my lips. I knew this forest like the back of my hand and she running into it was making things easier for me.It would be easier for me to trap her and make her mine.Her screams reached me as she fell on the ground, her back hitting against a hard rock.She immediately turned to me, her eyes glistening with tears. This was the woman destined to kill me after so many years. She was nothing but a child, but she made me all excited. I wanted to play with her, just like my human self always played with her. She loved my human side
SCARLETT’s POV.“What’s going to happen now?” I asked Ashely frantically, I was very scared when Adonis fainted in my arms. When he walked into my room, I knew my firm resolve was going to break. I wanted to jump into his arms and tell him how much I have missed him. I didn’t even realize how much I was in love with him until I had to stay away from him for the whole day. I missed him, I missed him so bad thinking of how he would be missing me.I stayed up all night trying to put two and two together from what he told me.Believe me, it has been the worst alone moment of my life, I missed him and I wanted him. I wanted to go to him but how could I? A lot was at stake already, everything and even his life.He said I would be the one to kill him, of course I do not want to kill him even if I was mad at him. I loved him so much, I loved him more than life itself but I couldn’t get rid of my anger, he did a lot of bad things even from my past life.I was in pain, the pain of losing him a
ADONIS’s POV.I was curled up in the corner of my room, the ring twirling in my hand. Just like that, everything I have worked so hard for came crashing to the ground. She looked like she hated me, she hated me so much, I could see it in her eyes and I could feel it from every fiber of her being. The girl who used to love me with all of her heart now loathed me. I didn’t blame her, I blamed myself for falling in love with her. I should have stuck to the plan from the very beginning, I shouldn’t have deviated and fallen in love with her, I should have…A knock on my door jolted me out of my thoughts. Who dared to come to me? Was the person tired of living?“Mr Adonis” Vicky’s voice reached me, “breakfast is ready sir”“I am not hungry” I told her, “and you all can retire for the day”That reminded me, she didn’t show up. Even when I threatened to go berserk last night, Ashely told me she didn’t even pick his calls. This was more fucked than i thought. Just like that, it was easy for he
