Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Angelica’s POV My hands gripped the armrests of the chair, as I tried to hold back my powers, which were now threatening to show themselves, but I knew I couldn’t allow them to, not in front of a whole restaurant of innocent humans. Plus, if I allowed them to take over, then I would be validating my mother’s accusations that I wasn’t able to control my powers yet, and I be damned if I was going to prove her right. “What’s the matter sweet stuff? Cat got your tongue?” He now asked me, as he licked his lips, and began to look from my eyes down my body, until his eyes rested on my chest. My knuckles now started to turn white, as I gripped the arms of the chair even tighter, while I began to hear them crack beneath my hands, knowing that I was holding on to the last ounce of restraint I had left in me. Picking my words very carefully, I finally whisper below my breath, knowing that only he would be able to hear me, “If I was

Angelica’s POV Slowly, I opened the door, before stepping out of the bathroom, and my eyes immediately found Joffrey, sitting on the edge of the bed, with his head hanging low, looking defeated. Awkward silence filled the room as I stood there, not knowing where to start with him, but then he makes the first move by saying to me, “Angelica, please give me a chance to explain.” “Okay.” I said back to him, as I leaned against the wall, thankful that he had made the first move, hopefully telling me what I sought to hear from him. His head rose up to look at me at that moment, and I could see sadness now in his eyes, but also the look of shock that I was giving him this chance to speak. “I don’t know where to start.” He said as he turned his head away from me, like he was ashamed to look at me. “How about you explain to me how you passed Selena’s exam last night at my party.” I suggested to him, wanting desperately to know ho

Angelica’s POV Voices coming from outside the bedroom door awakened me, while the sun beamed freely into the bedroom, as I quietly got out of bed, throwing on the cozy hotel robe, before I moved towards the door wondering who Joffrey was talking to. A familiar woman’s voice now carried into the room, making me realize that his Aunt Rosa was here, but she sounded like she was in distress. Cracking the bedroom door open, their voices carried freely towards me, and by the sounds of what his Aunt Rosa was saying, the vampires had come back after she had closed the restaurant down, causing damage to it, that was going to take some time to repair. “That girl you had with you last night, caused more problems for me then what I already had. After what they destroyed, I fear I am going to lose the restaurant, because there is no way I’m going to be able to come up with the money they are now demanding I pay, because of her.” I now heard her say

Angelica’s POV An eerie feeling right away hit me, that I wasn’t alone, as I called out to the man “I know you are in here. I just want to talk.” Silence remained filling the air, but as I closed my eyes and tuned into my wolf senses, I could hear his heart beating a mile a minute, telling me that he indeed was still here, and that he was scared. Opening my eyes, I look in the direction that I could hear his heartbeat coming from, as I tried to refrain from using my powers, exposing myself to him, as I squinted my eyes now trying to focus them, by using another one of my wolf’s abilities. Faintly, I could see his figure cowering in the corner of the room, before I called out to him once again, “I am not here to hurt you. I was sent here by a good friend of mine, who said I could find a warlock that goes by the name Alatar.” “My father is dead, but you already know that.” He finally says bitterly to me, breaking his silenc

Angelica’s POV Holding onto the rail, I slowly made my way down the old stone spiral staircase, that looked as if it had been carved directly from the earth beneath the bookstore many moons ago, making me wonder what could possibly be at the bottom of it. About halfway down the staircase, my stomach begins to turn into a knot, as it felt like I was descending into the pits of hell, while I could feel a darkness forming around me. Stopping on the stairs, trying to catch my breath that felt like it was being taken away from me, Joffrey quickly moves to my aide, as he asks, “Angelica, what is it?”Looking up at him standing on the step above me, I knew if I told him what I was feeling, he would make us turn around, but I needed to see what was below us, because whatever it was, I had the feeling it was the source of the darkness that had attacked me.“I’m fine.” I quickly replied to him, not wanting him to see the distress I was in, as I turned and continu
