Axel was leaning against the hood of his car as he gazed at the wide inky sky that was twinkling with sparkling stars.His eyes fixed on the sky as he drawled a puff of smoke out. "This feels amazing," Daniel muttered standing beside him."Of course, it always feels amazing after a good run," Axel said as slowly the orange hue started to appear as they watched standing on the hill."Did anyone find their mate?" Axel asked and Daniel shook his head."Nope and I think many of us don't believe in mates anymore because the last time someone found their true mate was five years ago. Now this lack of a true mate was only leading to the option of chosen mate," Daniel said Axel dragged a puff from his cigarette and then exhaled the smoke out in the chilly air."What will happen to Evelyn?" Daniel asked and Axel tensed up slightly before he sighed and rubbed his face."I don't know," He murmured.Daniel frowned. "What do you mean you don't know?" He asked. "You do realize she has no hand in wha
A few days passed and Axel's behavior was making her all confused and scared. She almost feels like it was unreal. The pessimistic side of her was roaring bad outcomes in her head.She was scared of his kindness towards her. It was almost like a Deja Vu. He was kind to her before but ended up putting her brother behind the bars and making her life a living hell and he was doing the same thing again. Being kind to her. It was heart-rattling because she couldn't understand what was going through his head.Evelyn tried to avoid him as much as she could but last night he barged into her room and confronted her as to why she was avoiding him."I'm just minding my business, leave alone," she had said getting up from the window sofa. Her wounds had healed and she could walk properly now. "Why didn't you come down to have dinner with me? Didn't Ela tell you I'm asking for your presence?" He asked. "I already had my dinner," she whispered heading to the restroom just to avoid him but he grab
Evelyn paced her room back and forth, and gazillions of thoughts raked her head. She was scared, she was petrified knowing what Axel was capable of. If by any chance she got caught then that was it for her. There would be no way out. He would not only kill her but Joshua as well.It was too risky. Either she could win or simply fail but the cost of failure maybe would land her in a deep pit. If it was just about her life, she would've taken the risk but she can't play with Joshua's life then again he wasn't living a free or happy life in jail. He was beaten and hurt every day and there was no guarantee that Axel would let them both live for long. No matter what, she couldn't bring herself to trust Axel and do nothing.Parco on the hand seemed so kind and considerate to her. He was always worried about her in this cage. He even took care if she was having her meals or not. He was a kind man from what she could understand and he was in the same position as her but Parco was seeking reve
Evelyn woke up early as she stirred on the bed, yawned, and groggily straightened up. Her eyes fell on the giant of a man laying on a small couch. Half of his legs were dangling down from the other end, she could bet his body would be in pain as soon as he would wake up because of the position he was in.Parco's words rang in her head and fear coiled in her heart. She quietly got out of bed as she was about to walk past his sleeping form, she came to halt beside him.Maybe this was the last time she would see him. There was no scowl on his face and he looked peaceful while sleeping, almost like a baby.She hoped she won't get to meet him again after all the pain he has caused her.Swallowing thickly she quietly tiptoed out of his room. Once she was inside her room, she hurriedly showered and changed her clothes. Grabbing her phone and the paper, she was about to leave but stopped. What if Axel had her number or what if he tracks her down?Shaking her head she switched off her phone an
She took in a deep breath and tried to calm her erratically beating heart down. Slowly she turned around to see the person only for a jolt of terror to engulf her form when her eyes clashed with his onyx irises.He was tall and extremely pale with sharp features, black hair, and cold eyes. A menacing aura exuded from him which had her eyes shivering with troublesomeness.The man who seemed to be smiling, instantly paused as he looked at her. A scowl marred his face as he inhaled deeply and his cold eyes glided over her form."S...sir... this is Evelyn. Axel Knight's wife," Parco said shakily, and seeing him terrified of the man, made her insides churn in fear."So it's her," The man said, stepping closer to them as Parco stepped away from her. She threw a scared glance at Parco who instantly dropped his gaze which caused her stomach to clench."He said... you could help me," she whispered shakily.At the same time, they heard footsteps approaching. "Who is it, Simon?" A man asked whil
A painful groan left her lips as the girl tried to open her eyes but her lips felt heavy. Her ears perked at the slightest of gushing air. Her heart was beating too slowly. There was this buzzing feeling in her body as she fluttered her eyes open.Evelyn blinked twice to get rid of the blurriness and her brows furrowed seeing the door right beside her head and she was on the floor. What was this place?"She's up," her head whipped in the direction of the voice and she found Apollo crouching close to her. And just like that she recalled each and everything that conspired in the last few hours. Her hand flew up to touch her pendant but it was gone."Looking for this?" Simon asked from afar. He was holding a box that had weird language engraved on it and the pendant was inside it, she gulped. He was too far away then how could she see those patterns so easily even though they were very tiny.What happened to her eyes? She touched her eyes and rubbed them as she closely straightened up an
"Have you ever drunk blood before, Evelyn?" Simon asked, completely amused by the situation.She stared at him, baffled at his absurd question."What are you saying?" She whispered and he only grinned at her."Poor soul, don't even know what you are," He said and then glanced at Apollo who seemed to understand Simon without even sharing words."Don't worry, I'll tell you what you are." He smirked and within seconds Apollo was back holding a wine glass which was full of red liquid.Simon brought it closer to his nose and inhaled deeply before sighing dreamily. Getting up from the chair, he stalked over to her and crouched down near her.As soon as he brought the glass closer to her face, her eyes widened and she jostled away feeling an intense thirst engulfing her whole body."W...what is this?" She stammered scooting away from him but he just grabbed the nape of her neck and jerked her closer."Its blood," He smiled and her stomach churned as tears burned her vision."Let me go," she
"This is you. The real you. Your mother was a vampire and father a human, and you my precious are a half-vampire." Apollo mused.Leaning down he licked the blood on her chin and flinched away from him in disgust. She harshly wiped the blood from her chin and stared at her bloody hands in aghast.Mr. Parco.She turned around and found Adonis with his mouth latched on Mr. Parco's neck as life escaped Parco's eyes. "NO!" She screamed and tried to free herself from Apollo's grip but it was too hard for her. He was inhumanly strong."Yum, it seemed like after ages you've let me drink from alive prey," Adonis grunted as Simon rolled his eyes and straightened his coat. Their eyes were still of a monster."What do we do with her, Simon?" Adonis asked, looking at Evelyn who was frozen in Apollo's hold."Can we keep her? I want to play with her a little before you decide anything," Apollo rasped near her ear causing her to flinch badly.Her eyes kept darting to the blood on the floor. She wanted
