Third Person’s POV;“You are mine!” He said looking straight into her eyes. His royal blue eyes darkened. The playful smile on his face was long gone. There was no trace of humor in his eyes. There is no way he was joking with such a serious expression. Even the aura around him changed darkly.Suddenly, the temperature of the room dropped. It was freezing cold in the room and the only source of warmth was the man standing right in front of her.Her heart was racing against her chest. He took a couple of steps towards her slowly, and just like the last time she was frozen in her place. With each step he was taking, the temperature was dropping drastically. In no time, he was now standing right in front of her.His warm breath was falling on her face.“I…” She tried to speak.“Shhh!” he kept his forefinger on her delicate lips and Rose submitted instantly.‘What the hell is wrong with me today? Where is the feminist inside me? Is she on holiday or what?’ She asked herself angrily.She
Third Person’s POV;“Rose, do your parents give you something strong to drink? Like something actually, a bit bitter and bad to taste?” Elijah asked and Rose's eyes widened in shock.‘Hell! Is he talking about the absolutely horrible-tasting herbal tea that my mother forces me to drink calling it nutritional and important for woman's health? but I can’t tell him that. No matter how attracted I am to him, he is still a stranger’ Rose thought deeply before giving away any answer.“I don’t know” Rose’s answer wasn’t clear enough but her expressions were speaking otherwise.“Think about it, Rose. It is the kind of drink that if you mix it in any strong liquid, for example coffee, you won’t be able to taste coffee” He replied while grabbing both of her shoulders gently, looking at her with concern and care. Rose was affected by his care but his questions were also hitting right on the target.‘How the hell does he know this? Is he stalking me or something? I remember the shock I felt when
“Can you do me a favor, Rose?” His playful mood was long gone.What kind of favor does he want from me? Honestly, I am ready to do anything for him.“And I thought you were going to grant my three wishes” Rose asked raising an eyebrow.“It’s just a simple task and only you can do it” Elijah said and Rose gave in.“Fine, tell me” she said with a humorous smile.“Can you please find the whereabouts of the men who attacked me yesterday” Elijah requested making her confused.“Why?” she asked unable to understand the reasoning behind it.“I just need to know their situation. It’s important” Elijah said not explaining the reason behind it.Looking at the seriousness on his face and a hint of discomfort, Rose decided to pester him later, so she just nodded for now, “Alright. I will try”Saying that Rose left for breakfast. She saw everyone waiting for her eagerly in the dining room except for Aunt Melissa who was busy throwing daggers at her with her eyes. Unlike the rest of the time, Rose
“I am sorry. He is no more” After saying that, Aunt Milly burst into tears.“WHAT?” Uncle Levi shouted from the top of his lungs.“I tried everything I could but I was unable to save him” Aunt Milly said between sobs and hiccups.Levi passed his hand through his hair. A tear fell on his cheek. He composed himself before he broke down. That was not the right time to reveal it in front of everyone.On the other hand, Rose who was standing outside the bathroom, covered her mouth in shock. She never imagined this would happen. That she was not going to see Uncle Pete again. She never really liked him but she didn’t expect him to die so soon. She knew Elijah was responsible for his death. Before she can blame him, her heart reminds her that he was just trying to protect himself. She reminded herself of the truth.No matter how much she hated him, deep inside, she still felt bad for Uncle Pete’s sudden death.“Tell me about the rest?” She heard Uncle Levi’s demanding voice after a while.
Rose’s POV;Before he could utter another word, I heard a familiar voice,“What the hell do you think you are doing?”We both turned towards the source of the voice only to witness the said source marching towards us like a fuming dragon.“Mark!” left both of our mouths in shock.“Are you two nuts? What do you think you are doing?” Mark asked in anger.He grabbed Oliver’s arm and pushed him away from me.“Mark, I can explain!” I said but was cut rudely by him.“You better shut your mouth!” he said in an angry voice.“Mark, it’s not what you think…” Oliver tried but was awarded with an equal rage of emotions.“Oh, shut up, Oliver! Like you were not going to kiss her” Mark said with a look of disgust clear on his face.“How can you do that? How can you kiss your own cousin? Its disgusting bro!” Mark added making me cringe a bit with the unnecessary title. I knew it was about time that we cleared some conceptions.“That’s the thing, Mark! Listen to me. We are not related!” I spoke from
Rose’s POV:“I can smell him on you!” The moment the sentence left his mouth, I felt like a cheater. Like I was being disloyal. This unexplainable guilt took over me.“I told you to stay away from him and any man but you didn’t listen!” He roared with the anger clearly visible in his eyes.“Elijah..!” I was speechless. I regretted my every action. But why was I submitting to him again?‘Did I really do something wrong?’ I questioned myself.“Why did you do that?” Elijah asked, his face just inches apart from mine.I felt like my heart would burst out of my chest. I bet he could hear my thudding heartbeat.My breath quickened. Saying my palms were sweaty was not enough, I was sweating throughout my body.I should be grateful that my sweat doesn’t stink or I would’ve been embarrassed to death by now.I realized that when moments ago Oliver came this close to me all I could feel was disgust but right now, when Elijah is so close to me, a part of me, a bigger part to be honest, is quite
Rose’s POV;“Yes, I am, but listen, Uncle Pete and David, the two of your attackers passed away this morning!” I informed him of the grave news and was met with an expected reaction.“WHAT!” His eyes were popping out of his sockets. For a moment, he was out of breath. “That can’t be….!” He added breathlessly.He passed his hand through his hair and even in such a tense state, he looked exceptionally handsome.I could hear his heart racing against his chest. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.I gave him time to adjust to the awful news. I thought he could handle it better as he is not just a normal werewolf but the Werewolf king but his extreme reaction shocked me a bit. I don’t know if he was sad, shocked, or terrified of the news.‘Why did it have such a profound effect on him? Is it really because he didn’t want them to die?’He opened his eyes and looked into mine. His eyes were unreadable. I was dying to know what was he thinking right now.“How did you f
Third Person’s POV;“Don’t take my name like that! You are killing me..!” He complained and I said something which shocked me as well.“Kiss me..”“But Rose, you are still unsure about your feelings. Maybe we should get to know each other more before going ahea…” Elijah was trying to explain when Rose cut in.“You don’t want to?” She asked innocently, her eyes filled with sadness and hurt as she thought he didn’t want her.“Are you kidding me? I am dying to! But I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable! I am not someone who just wants you in bed. This attraction is not just physical. You are special to me. I want to claim you mine” he confessed what he was feeling.“I know. I trust you and I want the same” left her mouth in an instant, and the sound of it conveyed that she meant it.There she goes, asking for what she wants like a female Alpha. She was so proud of herself.Rose’s passionate words were enough for Elijah to remove the remaining distance between them and he claimed he
