Jax's PoV Who was the man who was always with Ivanna? Is it her new lover? Why does my chest feel tight seeing them together? I don't like that man following Ivanna everywhere. He must be no less dangerous than Damon. I seemed to be able to smell the bad vibes from the jet-haired man. Even from his eyeballs, which were the color of oak tree trunks, there was something that Ivanna must not have realized. Anyway, I planned to stop investigating Damon; no longer being around Ivanna made me feel rattled all day, and what had once excited me was no longer there. Why would I find out about Damon if he no longer bothered Ivanna? And I was no longer the girl's guardian? Ever since Ivanna had dismissed me from my job as her bodyguard, I'd become insane. Every night, I would wander and end up at the mansion where Ivanna lived and, of course, watch her sleeping until the morning came. One day, I experienced the most terrible thing in the world—witnessing Ivanna and her new lover making love.
Ivanna's PoVWhere is Ayden? I've waited almost an hour, and he hasn't shown his nose. Doesn't he know that I still have a lot of things to take care of? Kay and I had to prepare some things for our wedding. He had proposed to me, and I thought there was no harm in accepting after being close friends for so long.I honestly knew Kay better than Damon. That's why it was only natural that Damon could still lie to me while in all the time I was with Kay, he never once lied. Or maybe he has; I don't know.I couldn't wait anymore. I got up from my chair and was about to leave, but a firm hand caught my arm and stopped me. I turned my head momentarily to ascertain who had dared to obstruct my steps this time. Perhaps it was the man who had kept me waiting for so long. If so, I'm sure he'll never forget I don't like waiting."Kay? What are you doing here?" I glanced around, wondering if he had come with someone. "Don't you have an appointment with the record company?"He took me in his arms
Jax's PoVI threw my tired body onto the sofa and massaged my forehead. I shouldn't feel what other humans feel because I'm different. Maybe I haven't said outright that I'm not human like Ivanna might think. However, I don't want her to know this, especially since I might never see her again.As Ayden said, she probably hates me for all the reasons she has.One of the servants came over and handed over the injection equipment and serum we were accustomed to. Me, as well as all the clan members. Ayden was one of them. We don't do what our race normally does in general because it would ruin the order of life and turn us into monsters or diseases. I don't want that to happen, even if it has already happened.There are still many among us who do that because of the satisfaction they want. The taste is obviously different if we suck directly than inject it. However, this is for the best.Other races besides humans are much more destructive than our race. That is werewolves. They are troub
Ivanna's PoV Jax led me to a grand building that I didn't know what it was. I didn't know much and never went with Damon wherever he went—rarely, if I may say so. And when I heard Jax's answer that it was Damon's office, I wanted to run away. This thing isn't how I imagined Jax's words to sound. Teaching a lesson, I thought, by deflating the tires of Damon's car and Tatiana's that were now parked next to each other. However, he didn't. He continued to walk past the two cars that were lined up intimately in the spot. As I approached, it was clear that Tatiana's car was covered in dust. "What a slut!" DUAGH! I kicked the tires of that woman's car before I did what was on my mind. I reached into my pants pocket; the object was still there. A penknife that I always carried around to protect myself, I now stuck it into each of the car tires that were there. Both alarms blared, but the owners didn't show up to check. "Hey, Ivanna! That's not the way to play!" Jax snapped, to which I d
Jax's PoVI was still staring at the beautiful face before me without closing my eyes for a moment. I never slept, and that was my chance to enjoy this girl's beauty, even though I did it almost every day—sneaking into her house and looking at her while she was asleep in her room.Like right now, Ivanna was still fast asleep after what we did last night. Finally, I—I don't know what demon possessed me—did what had been my fantasy for a long time; I made love to her. Although I don't know if she did it voluntarily and soulfully like me or if it was just to vent the lust that had never been attached so far, what is certain is that I enjoyed it.I caressed her beautiful face. Even without the make-up and alcohol-induced stupor, she was charming. There are many things she doesn't know, and I'm not ready to tell her. However, at least after today, I can reveal everything slowly. One of them is that I've always been her biggest fan.I followed her life story from the time she was born until
Ivanna's PoVI didn't know how long I had been in a place I didn't recognize. When I woke up, Kay and Bri were beside me and rushed over as if something had happened to me. I was just sleeping, right? Nothing happened, and I didn't feel like anything had happened except for my head throbbing, and this time it was more painful than usual.I couldn't move my body either. There were pains in my arms and legs that made me choose to give up and take deep breaths."Jax ..." I didn't understand why that name came out of my mouth. Maybe it's because I know he's not in this room, while the last thing my memory captures is me being with Jax. I made love to him. Then where was he? Was he somewhere?I called his name again. "Where's Jax?"I realized that there was an oxygen hose and an IV needle stuck in my hand."No need to ask that jerk; I already kicked him out! He caused you to be like this, Vans!" growled Kay."No, he didn't. That's not true. He drove me back home. And ..." I tried to recall
Ivanna's PoVThis morning the doctor will reportedly give me the tests and biopsy results. I don't know why I have to undergo a series of tests. It's not like I just had an accident, and it has nothing to do with my health or anything. I felt fine all this time and didn't complain of anything other than the frequent headaches. But yeah, I'm fine.Unfortunately, Bri and Kay disagreed with me. They looked worried as the doctor walked into my room and read out the results of whatever the test was. And the reality I heard made my world seem to crumble beneath my feet.I didn't expect that the disease my mother suffered from was also something I had to experience now. Blood cancer and undergoing chemotherapy one to two times a week were exhausting. I had been with my mom then, and I knew how she was so tired and eventually gave up."We can schedule chemotherapy from now on so that the cancer cells don't spread further," the doctor said, which I could only hear after my mind had been wander
Jax's PoV I did not expect Ivanna to ask me to suck her blood. Although I also knew that she was suffering from a deadly disease, giving her a shortcut was not the right way. Even for the sake of being able to live longer, being a vampire was not a fun thing that could make her enjoy life as she imagined. However, how do I explain it to her?I did not give any clarity on her request and chose to stay away. I did not know what I was doing, but it was best—that she did not constantly think of becoming monstrous people like us.Today I was making an appointment to meet with Ayden. Utilizing his skills as a scientist might be the first step in my efforts to help Ivanna survive longer. And when Ayden was in front of me, I didn't know what to say to him."Jax! What's wrong with you? Why don't you seem to be here?" Ayden's comment made my mind split instantly. A few minutes ago, I was not here but was traveling through the time dimension to recall my meeting with Ivanna. "Say it! What's the
