Adonis' POV
I never expected such a thing to happen, not after these people have been silent for such a long time. I was expecting them to have been gone.
Vampire hunters!
The last time I've had contact with one was about twenty years ago and even though I managed to kill him that night, it never occurred to me that they'll be back or maybe they're more than one on this side of the world.
After I left Bella's place around that one in the morning, I was on my way back to my apartment when I felt something following me, tracing my path.
I didn't need to be told, I knew who he was.
Trying to divert his attention, I took a different lane that was different from my path home as I was trying to figure something out. He didn't notice that the road I was taking was different and this meant just one thing; he hadn't figured out my house yet.
But the bigger problem is, it is possible in every way that Bella is in danger. If they could trace me from her house, then it is very possible that they know about her.
The next thing to do was bait the hunter who was following me. I began walking faster, at a pace that was inhumane and before he could catch up with me at a dark corner, I was no more in his sight.
Only for me to appear behind him. He was agitated, looking around curiously, and cursed when he realized that I was gone.
I touched his shoulder and he jumped a little as he turned.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" I hissed.
"I know what you are, monster" he spat
"Good! That way, you wouldn't be surprised when I show you what I can do"
I opened my mouth sharply to reveal my fangs as I made my fingernails longer than normal. I grabbed both of his shoulders with my hand, buried my fingers into it as his face became sour with pain.
"Even if you kill me, others are coming," he threatened.
"They will come to pick up your dead body"
I slashed his throat with the pocket knife that was with me and smirked as his body dropped to the floor.
I could have fed on his blood but I vowed to never taste a hunter's blood no matter how needy and hungry I get. I'll prefer to go weak and rabid rather than feed on a hunter's blood.
The bag that he had carried with him was on the floor, so I picked it up to check the one thing that I needed.
An iron stake.
I knew he was going to have something like this with him.
I brought it out of the bag and walked towards the hunter on the floor. He was still breathing, holding his slashed neck with his arm as he raised the other one towards me, trying to stop me from doing what I was about to do.
"When your fellow hunters see this, they'll know I'm not a force to reckon with. I'm Adonis, a fucking vampire who has lived for two hundred years. Do you think I lived that long just to get killed by a loser like you?"
The first thing I did was to hit him on the head with the iron stake, making him lose consciousness completely.
The last thing I did was dig the iron stake into his heart the same way he would have done to me if he had the chance.
There's nothing called mercy when I'm involved.
I need to do something before things get out of hand.
Picking up my phone, I dialed a number.
"Hermano"
"I told you I don't understand any of that silly language of yours, αδελφός"
I smirked at his translation of the word, brother in Greek.
"How have you been, Andro?" Andro is one of the five male vampires left and he's one of the three that I know. We don't have a clue if there's any female vampire left but there was a rumor that one was in this particular town that I am and this was one of the reasons why I relocated here.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a hold of one ever since I moved here.
"I've been good, his about you? Still going after those κορίτσια και η γλυκύτητά τους?" I laughed out.
Being friends with Andro for a long time had made me understand some of his languages, especially those curses he spews when he's angry or those words he says whenever he's trying to be silly.
"Well, I've been a good boy," I replied.
"Good! Tell me, Adonis, what's the situation? You never call for no particular reason" he asked, reading me like an open book.
"Vampire hunters"
"Where, when, and how many are they?" He asked angrily.
Andro has had his fair share of what Vampire hunters are capable of and anytime he hears anything about them, he gets really angry.
"Calm down Andro. I saw only one but I took care of him already. I'm just worried about someone in particular and I need your help with relocating"
"Who's this special someone?"
"Is that the only thing you heard in all I had said?" I asked, teasing him.
"Of course. So, tell me about this special sister or brother"
"I didn't say ‘special’. I only said, someone"
"When was the last time you said anything about anybody?" He asked and I couldn't find an answer.
"Fine! She's special"
"I said it!"
Andro is a mischievous person and he's been that way since forever.
"Wait! Did you find the female vampire? Is she the ‘special’ person?" He asked excitedly.
"No, this one is human"
"You're kidding, right?"
I breathed deeply before replying. "I'm dead serious. I have this deep connection to her and she affects me in such a way that makes me feel powerful, different, and …." He interrupted before I could finish talking.
"She's your Emerthus" he concluded.
"I think so"
He was silent for a while before replying.
"I don't know how you're going to do it but let me wish you good luck"
"I know it won't be easy. Fuck! So far, it hasn't been easy"
"Just go easy on her, Adonis. Always remember that she's human"
"Thank you, Andro. As I said, I want to relocate but that'll be after I've made her mine successfully"
"Just call me anytime you're ready, I'll take care of everything including the paperwork"
"Thank you, Andro. Make it for two people by the way"
He laughed. "You're so pussy whipped. Best of luck winning her over and if you fail with your lousy attitude, my shoulder will be here to cry on".
"That's if I don't break it"
"I'll think you said that"
BELLA"You're freaking out, Bella and in turn you're freaking me out. Calm the fuck down woman. Jesus!"
ADONISKeeping my Bella safe is my new mission and major priority, so for the first time, I dismissed my driver, Gregory and informed him that his services will no longer be needed until when necessary.Since I'm just a property owner and what is called a landlord, I don't necessarily have to go to work and that made it possible for me to keep a close eye on Bella.From the moment she walked out of her apartment this morning with her roommate who for unknown reasons gives me negative vibes, to them walking to the restaurant together, I've been lurking around her.Bella looked so beautiful as the sun appeared to radiate on her skin. Men turned whenever she walked past them and women were jealous at how the men looked at her with so much lust and admiration while all I could do was boil with jealousy and anger.I wish I could snap their heads off their necks and feed them to v
Bella's POV
Fun fact people: I wrote this chapter twice. I don't know how it happened but the first one got deleted and it took me like three days of lamenting, crying and throwing unnecessary tantrums about it before I could bring myself back to write it again. It might not meet your expectations but I hope it sends the right information across. Thank you.Adonis' POV
Bella's POVMinutes after Adonis left, I kept on asking myself if all that just happened was real or maybe it had been a dream as usual. I pinched myself, slapped my palms against my cheeks to try and wake myself from that dream but nothing works.
Bella's POV"I–– I didn't mean to leave" The hurt was evident in his eyes and I didn't know what to say or reply just to make him feel better."But you did," he concluded."I don't know you, Adonis, I don't even know who you are. You can't expect me to wait for a total stranger""You know who I am, Bella," he replied. His voice was higher this time."I told you everything the first night we met and you agreed""If I did, then why can't I remember anything? All I remember is your name and maybe your handsome face. Nothing more. I want to know what happened" I begged."I want to tell you as well. But
Adonis' POVAs soon as those words left my mouth, Bella sat frozen for a minute, she wasn't saying anything but the next thing she did was get up from her seat and walk out of the restaurant, leaving me shocked and confused."What happened, Adonis?" Marco walked over."Confession went wrong" I replied, trying to cover up the hurt I felt with pride."Then, go after her until she understands, Adonis" He persuaded me and I only shook my head."It's not necessary anymore. She left because she doesn't want to have anything to do with a monster like me""No man. She left because she was probably overwhelmed with the revelation. Imagine being a regular person an
Bella's POV"You don’t look good this morning, Bella," Dede said as I walked into the restaurant first thing the next morning."Blame that on my nightmares" I replied, almost close to tears.I was so exhausted I could barely feel my body due to my lack of slope the previous night. I'd woken up from a nightmare around one in the morning and I wasn't able to sleep back after that."Maybe you should take a break from work today" Dede proposed just as Eva had done and I refused her advice.I was too scared to stay alone at home. I didn't want to be alone to avoid Adonis completely. The fear of him showing up in my house was too much for me to risk. I don't want to see him yet so it'll be better to
Andro"Hello Andro, it's been a while, Boss" George mocked from the other end of the line."What do you want, George?" I asked him, acting indifferent"Guess who I have here with me," he asked."I'm not in the mood for your games, George. Go straight to the point""Your girl, Annika" he laughed hysterically, waiting for me to react rashly.The thing is, I knew Annika was with him. I'd instructed Annika to go with him while she was in my car earlier today. Even though she was hesitant about it, I assured her that she'll be fine. Adonis and Bella would be in the restaurant with her, disguising as the cook and his assistant."She has nothing to do with this, George. You need to let her go" I warned him."I need you to step down, Adonis. That throne rightfully belongs to me and me alone" He yelled."Fine, how do we go about it?" I
AndroHours earlierAnger surged inside of me as I marched out of Annika's room. That bastard has disguised himself as Nathaniel and still went on to make plans with my woman but I can bet that whatever his plans are will go down the drain."What's up with you? I can feel your anger from across the room" I didn't have to turn before I knew it was Adonis."Nothing you should concern yourself about" I replied."Even if I'm still mad at you for not telling me about Annika, I can't let this one slide. What's up?""I didn't mean to keep her from you," I replied honestly."I know you don't but the fact remains that I just got to know about her yesterday and you got to know about Bella just a few days after I'd met her""That was because you called for something, Adonis. If you hadn’t needed my help, you wouldn't have mentioned her to me"&nbs
Annika"What did you say I'll be doing here again?" Galina asked as she dropped from her car, in front of my parent's home"Moral support," I replied and winked at her.Andro had dropped me off a few minutes ago as well as the lawyer to the police station where he went to file the case. The lawyer told me it might not be easy since there was no medical evidence against my stepfather.After I mentioned that I'd gone to the hospital the first time it happened, he said he'll pull all the strings and get the reports out but for now, the evidence at hand was enough to get him arrested as well as my mother."What will you be doing
AnnikaThe bed was warm and cozy, so I snuggled into it and refused to open my eyes even when I felt Adonis kissing my shoulder. Last night was incredible, I was scared that I would've messed things up but when Andro took charge and made me take charge after, I knew this place was meant to be home."Open your eyes gorgeous," he kissed my shoulder yet again. I groaned before I opened them to see a shiny object dangling in front of me.I opened my eyes widely to realize that it was a necklace. I touched it and collected it from Andro."What's this?" I asked him, waking up properly."My family heirloom. I was my parent's only child before they died centuries ago when the vampires were under the serious invasion of hunters because our supposed to be werewolf king preferred to be an asshole and walk away from the pack leaving us vulnerable to hunters"I hummed."Why are
Andro"Annika,"I called out as she walked past me, tears rolling down her pretty face. What the hell could be wrong?I had come out from the garden to feed Raven when I saw her marching off."Annika," I ran after her hoping she'd stop once she heard her name but that didn't stop her. She was marching off as if she was mad about something.I threw myself in front of her, trying to stop her. She stopped in her tracks, looked up, and when she saw me, she tried moving away. I changed to the direction she was trying to walk and blocked her path."What's wrong Annika?" I asked her, holding her face in my palm."Nothing is wrong. Nothing else could be wrong other than you being a jerk, an asshole and a loser" she spat."What's going on? What did I do?" I asked. I know I've messed up by keeping my distance from her these past few d
Annika It's been a week since I last heard from Andro. The first three days of his absence were hell. I was so worried about him and scared as well. I called his phone several times and he didn't pick up which was unusual. Why act like I was the air you breathe one time and act like a stranger the next? I was gulping down the juice boxes I had stacked under my bed like ten times a day. My emotion was out of place and I could feel a conscripting pain in my heart every time. On the fourth day, I paid a visit to his place, and to my surprise, the gates were locked. I had no other option than to leave after waiting for several hours. There was no one I could talk to or call to ask about his whereabouts. I could feel myself drowning away with no other option in sight. It was at that moment of my life that I realized Andro w
AndroThe door leading into my office was forcibly opened and Igor walked in with two of his men, armed with guns.Raven was already fighting for freedom from her cage, it was already at alert anytime it sensed danger around me and her sudden interest in Annika is alarming."The fuck is going on, Igor," I asked, still calmly sitting."Why are you so relaxed, Andro? After what you did, why the fuck are you so relaxed?" He yelled, banging his hand on my table."You tell me why I shouldn't be calm. Because obviously, I shouldn't be when you're the one who barged into my office for unknown reason" I asked. Raven was flapping its wings against her cage, and also sending a series of images to my head.It was all that of her plucking out Igor's eyes or scratching the hell out of his chest till it gets to his heart.Raven can
Adonis The terrible beeping of my phone woke me up. Eyes still closed, I removed my hand from around Annika to search for the phone on the desk next to the bed. Once my hand touched it, I sat up on the bed and placed it in my ear waiting for whoever it was to talk and tell me what the matter was. "Good morning Andro," Shit! I promised to call Adonis later and I totally forgot about it. After Stefan had brought dinner yesterday evening. I tried waking Annika up to have some food but she insisted on sleeping rather than eating. "Good morning, brother. I should have called you last night. Sorry I couldn't get the chance to do that" I explained. "Hope everything is okay over there, Andro?" He asked. "Yes, everything is perfect. How's Bella?" I asked about his Emerthus. "That's the major reason
