"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
She stood in front of his door. The shivering of her hands was out of her control. With all the mustered-up courage she grabbed the doorknob but had no courage to open it. "Get in!" The loud growl from inside had her jolting badly as she inhaled deeply to calm her wildly beating heart down. She had to control her nerves if she didn't want to hurt him. What if she lost control and attacked him? She could suck him dry! No! She couldn't let that happen. Gulping the lump down her throat she opened the door and stepped inside. "Close the door," He said calmly. She slowly closed the door with shaky hands. Evelyn could feel his gaze drilling holes but she didn't dare to look at him. She was too terrified to do that. If Axel has enmity with vampires then it was obvious he wasn't human either, she recalled Apollo saying that if not for the wolfsbane then Sasha would've killed one of them. How could a human kill a vampire just like that? This only means that they were also vampires but this
She could feel his intense gaze drilling holes in her body. Evelyn felt claustrophobic under his scrutiny. She just wanted to run away. So far away that he could never find her."Evelyn," the way he said her name had fear sneaking into her bones. Without thinking much she got up to her feet and made a dash toward the door and she was incredibly fast compared to a human.She was barely able to open the door when it slammed shut and a big calloused hand was pressed on the door beside her head.Her eyes widened and a new set of tears kissed her cheeks. Her heart thumped in her ears as she held her breath in absolute terror."I...I s...swear, I d...didn't do a...anything," She croaked out, trembling."Did I allow you to talk?" He whispered in a baritone. His hot breath hit her ear shell and she flinched badly.Her whole body tautened up when she felt his front pressed on her back.His free hand grabbed her arm in a hard grip as he roughly turned her around and slammed her back on the door
"You want to kill me? Go ahead, kill me. I don't want to live like this anymore! J...just let go of my brother. All I ask of you is to let go of my brother. You can do that right. It won't be so difficult for you after all you've your dogs sniffing all around the country right? You're very Influential with all the power and money. Of course, you can easily buy a couple of people with millions of dollars. Free my brother and I'll make it easier for you to kill me," she was blabbering nonstop.Axel let go of her wrists only to circle his calloused hand around her delicate throat as he squeezed it lightly making her gasp. Her eyes widened and she stood on her toes. Her hands tried to free herself and he cocked a perfect brow at her."You just gave me a free pass to kill you, so why are you struggling now? Do you want to live?" He asked coldly and her heart throbbed in her chest. With a quivering chin, she slowly let go of his hand as her hands fell on her sides."Promise me, you'll free
She shrieked and tried to kick him but he only clutched her ankle painfully making her hiss in pain.Her eyes broadened in fear when he loomed over her with his knees on either side of her hips he lowered down enough that she couldn't escape him. The beast of a man grabbed his shirt and ripped it open. Her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach when she heard the noise of buttons tearing from the shirt as they went flying away. He discarded the shredded piece of cloth on the floor.Fear coiled in her heart when their gaze clashed. She shook her head involuntarily because she could read the sinful darkness swirling in his eyes.There was fury circling his conscience. His motive was sinister and she was in a compromised condition. No matter how strong she has gotten, her strength was nothing compared to this beast of a man. The urgency to get away from him intensified. She must get away from him or he might end up destroying her and tainting her for life."A...Axel," she stuttered in
