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
Axel swallowed thickly, his heart felt heavy. He let her go with a jerk and moved away from her. The bed moved with his heavy movement. Getting out of bed he walked to the drawer. Taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter he made his way into the balcony.He lit the cigarette and dragged a long puff as the cold breeze swept past his warm skin ruffling his black locks.Axel stood there smoking for a while to calm down. His heart was still beating fast but the darkness that was sweeping inside him was beyond his familiarity. He crushed the end of the cigarette under his foot not caring that it'll get burned. He turned to walk inside hoping that she was gone but she was still there on the bed laying in the same position where he left her. She was staring at the mirror on the ceiling lifelessly and seeing her like that twisted something inside him.Walking to the closet he grabbed a sweater and threw it at her. "Wear it," He said calmly but she didn't move. "Evelyn!" He growled and
"Let them in," Gabriel said as Daniel glared at him. "You're the only one allowed to step inside the office, your bodyguards have to stay behind," Daniel stated and Gabriel scowled at him."Do you think I'm a fool? Your Alpha asked for a meeting so abruptly and he also wants to meet me alone, what if he kills me? I can't take that huge risk," Gabriel said casually.Daniel gnashed his molars. The f*cker was pissing him off deliberately. "Let me ask the Alpha," He said with controlled rage as he stepped into the office and came out after a few seconds."Let's go," Daniel said as he ushered them into Axel's office."Mr. Knight," Gabriel greeted as he took his seat in front of Axel and his guards stood near the door with their hands behind their backs and they both were also vampires. Not as strong as Gabriel though."Gabriel," Axel said curtly as he inclined his face towards the guards, sizing them up searching for a threat but they weren't anything that he couldn't handle before he face
Evelyn's knee was bouncing nonstop in anxiety as she watched it in silence. With a sparse breath, she clutched it tightly and it stopped moving.Her whole body ached and she was burning up with fever. She woke up with a headache. She recalled how she groggily changed her clothes last night and got under the blanket. The girl was too tired to dry her hair.She sneezed and then sniffed, staring at the sky outside the window from her place on the bed. She was so thirsty, it was as if someone rubbed sandpaper on her throat.Glancing at her reflection in the mirror, she stroked her neck and chest which were full of light purple and pink bruises.He must find it peaceful or exciting to torment her. Evelyn wondered when she would be free of this misery. Maybe the end of it would be with her. Would she be able to meet her parents or would God allow her to be in heaven? She wasn't human. Maybe she'll be thrown in hell for being what she never wanted to be.The door was knocked once before it
"What is it?" Axel asked calmly."I've got something," Gabriel's voice was calm and smooth as if he had solved the biggest mystery."What is it?" He asked."I'll text you the meeting place tomorrow," Gabriel answered."Why not today?" He questioned."I'm busy tonight because of the Red Moon," Gabriel replied and a crease of frown settled on Axel's face."I believe you'll be satisfied with my work, see you tomorrow," Gabriel proclaimed as Axel dropped the call.A knock was heard and then an employee walked in and he showed him some designs but Axel's mind wasn't present there.After some signs on the files the employee left and he sighed, throwing his head back on the headrest and staring at the ceiling.Last night raked in his mind. She was sitting there gaping at him through the window. She looked so innocent wrapped in that blanket as only her face was visible and she gaped at him like a curious yet scared kid.She has seen him in his wolf form, but she might not know it was him. Th
