She felt her eyes sting and her lips quiver at Leon's words, she couldn't understand why he excelled at smoothly taking her soul from her body and her mind from thoughts. For a while, they both stared at each other without uttering a word, the pieces of their gaze boring into each other's souls and pouring every positive element into the beating of their hearts.He lowered his gaze to her lips. it was pink and innocent and called forth his beastly desires to ravage her at the very moment. filling her up with his love and passion. As though having a mind of its own his hands wandered into the side of her face, running his fingers over the smooth of her cheeks."I won't let anything happen to you," He swore with conviction as his gaze darkened for a moment. He couldn't lose her, not to Jared or anyone else, she was his, as he was hers. Since birth all he knew was pain, loneliness, and rage, uncontrollable rage that slowly magically disappeared, tamed by her presence."I know you won't,"
"Leon!, we weren't expecting your visit," Her lips widened for a smile and her eyes gleamed in delight as Leon swung open the majestic doors that reeked of royalty and prestige. Contrary to Ivy's delight, Leon's gaze dampened at her presence, he hated the interruption. A minute ago he was about to take his mate on a journey into the realm of bliss. "That damn butler, always efficient and quick with his duties," He groaned with an eye roll certain the butler had conveyed the news of his arrival."It wasn't planned," He said shutting the door half-closed as though hiding something which piqued Ivy's interest. "What are you hiding Leon?," She smiled trying to take subtle peeks into the room. Sniffing, she picked up a scent, a human."You brought a girl into our home?, who is she?" "None of your business, can you give me a second to adjust?, I'll see you at the dinner table in a few moments," He dismissed with a frown. About to shut the doors close, Ivy with full force pushed the doors
"Excuse me, Master Leonard," The butler came in with a bow, "Breakfast is served,""We'll be there in two minutes," Leon conceded with a nod before waving his hands In dismissal. The butler sneaked a single glance at Evelyn before leaving."Come little kitty," Leon said already leaving for the hall "I'm not hungry," She grumbled as she felt a sudden grab on her wrist"Nonsense, come join us for breakfast, it's the perfect chance to get to know you and to know me as well, we are family after all," Urged Ivy with a smile that faltered the smile on Evelyn's face. She wasn't prepared to let the secrets to her hellish past known, especially to a relative of Leonard. She feared what Ivy's reaction might be, would the most powerful Lycan family in existence let one of its heirs get mated to a girl who spent a portion of her life in an asylum? She wanted to make a good impression on Ivy"Your secrets are yours to share little kitty," Leon chimed in reading Evelyn's thoughts. It didn't matte
The sudden gush of wind pushed back his long blonde hair at shoulder's length, while he squinted his gaze to better perceive his surroundings through the darkness as he walked into a hallow cave that reeked of evil and everything malicious. Moving one foot before another, drawing nearer to the deeper parts of the cave, bats swarmed over his head and the cave got darker as he walked further away from sunlight.The dark, spooky cave had very little light. The gravel was digging into his bare feet like knives, and a trail of blood was left through his path. He was cut, stuttering, and haltering his breaths in an attempt to control his pain and shock as blood leaked out from his mouth. If life is blood, his life was draining blood faster than paramedics.Going deeper into the cave, rocks came down from the top of the cave as though intending to trap him without a means of escape, leaving him to rot away in solitude in the depths of the darkness. As he walked further into the cave, it got
To refresh your memory and better understand this chapter, I suggest you read chapter 32 of volume one, titled Claudia Jeanne OliviaWho is the girl?, he pondered, as his brows furrowed, the Ancients weren't creatures with much interest in creatures, except those from the underworld, from hell. The place of their mysterious origin. Throughout his existence, he had only witnessed the ancients show interest in a single creature, Jared Donovan. It was an interest with selfish benefits and desire"Who is the girl?" He asked unable to keep his curiosity to himself while he felt his life force slowly draining, like smoke dispersing into the air. From above, one of the ancients descended towards the rocky ground which created a loud rumble and echoes with its impact.The batlike creature had an appearance as though it drew its existence from the blackest of nightmares, a thing too hideous for reality, a being sprung from the flaming pits of hell, spawned of the quivering slime that festers
After breakfast at the exquisite hall, Leon led her to the castle's library. The broad daylight did not reach the room which was located underground. Instead, it was the hanging lights above them that lit the two-tiered hall- almost like a cake mold. The room which normally would be filled with murmurs, whispers, and the presence of people interested in books was oddly quiet that a drop of a pin could be heard.Entering the large hall filled with the smell of paper and old books that held knowledge and magic that was a treat for the mind she felt drawn into the ocean of tranquility. The whole aura of space is as peaceful as nature. A long stretching room full of piles of information captured in the pages was a mesmerizing sight."It's big, much bigger than I expected," She conveyed her shock turning her gaze at Leon whose eyes were fixed on something else, something much lewder...her chest."What are you doing?," She pinched his cheeks and her cheeks turned red as a tomato while Leon
Like a precious lost treasure, she held the book in her hands with the inscription "The Book of the Banshees" etched like gold on the cover. Evelyn's eyes were trained on the book, lost in the sight of it like an invisible specter tethering her thoughts and focus to one single point. She felt a short wave of power surge through her core, its energy emanating from the item on her arm, It was as if her brain was suffering a massive short circuit and was struggling to compute. Worried in a trance Leon moved into her line of sight, touching her cheek with the side of his thumb, his lips forming a pensive grin."Lost little kitty?," His calm and ear-sensual voice lured her mind into reality Evelyn's head tilted upward to his face, her eyes sliding into focus, and how couldn't she?, Leon's glance-stealing, heart stealing, and soul-scorching face worked like a charm."Huh?," She muttered with a smile running her thumb over the book cover. She couldn't quite explain it, she felt a deep conn
Slowly he fluttered his eyelids open, and with it came the sensation of a slight strain of pain on his forehead, wincing his brows in pain and agitation he slowly massaged his forehead trying to soothe the throbbing pain as he tried taking in the sight of his strange surroundings with his hazy blurry eyes."Where am I?." He muttered to himself knitting his brows. Wincing in pain from his throbbing headache he tried recollecting his last memory before ending up in the place."Am I dead?" He said to himself, his last memory was fading into the abyss as he sank deeper into the depths of the ocean while he drifted away, to a place far away where all hope was lost, and defeat reigned. Blackness all around him. He darted his eyes around the thick walls trying to perceive his surrounding, however the little piercing light by the small squared window gave him little idea of his prison. It was akin to a dungeon with little source of light. He was certain he was In a prison cell.The prison ce
