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
A sob tore through her lips as she wobbled to her feet and threw her arms around his frame, hugging him tightly. Her fingers barely interlaced as she hid her face in his chest. She couldn't tell how relieved she was after seeing him. For a couple of seconds as she held onto him. She felt safe.She sniffed and muffled a cry. "A...Axel, I...I... was so s...scared-ahhh," He grabbed her arms in a vice grip and roughly jerked her away from him as if he was disgusted. She fell on her bottom with a wince as she looked at him baffled.There was hatred marring his face and it twisted up her heart in knots.He hates her but at least he came to save her.They kept looking into each other's eyes until she couldn't match his dark gaze anymore. Her heart was pounding in her head and her senses were high. His scent. It was different. And that aura that exhibits off him was different and his eyes. She could swear she saw the golden hues in his irises. They were the same as the time when he caught her
Evelyn woke up slowly as she snuggled into the soft sheets. Her eyelids were swollen but other than that she felt well-rested. Turning around she blinked at the ceiling and yawned.Sitting up straight, she stared at her pajamas. She didn't recall changing last night and then she froze.Her eyes widened and her heartbeat quickened recalling everything. Stumbling out of the bed, she made her way in front of the mirror and parted her lips as she stared at her teeth. She poked and tried to pull at her small canines but nothing happened. Her eyes were also fine.That must be the worst nightmare of her life, she tried to console herself but when her eyes fell on her neck. She stiffened. Her hands jerked up to feel the warmth of her pendant but it wasn't there and the wound on her neck screamed at her that last night was no nightmare. It was all true.She stumbled a step to the couch only to hear a rattling sound and her head whipped down. Her eyes widened seeing a cuff on her ankle that was
