Gabriel sipped on his wine in a leisurely manner. His eyes glided over to the sweaty bodies dancing on the dance floor. It was boring like every other day. He was waiting for the alpha to show up. He wondered how he must've killed Adonis. One of his men walked over to him and informed him about Axel's arrival. A grin plastered on his face as he got to his feet and stalked into his office. The sight felt so beautiful to his eyes. Axel was sprawled on the couch with blood all over his crisp white shirt. He could inhale Adonis' scent on him. "What a pleasant sight," Gabriel mused in ecstasy. The maniac had an unhealthy obsession with blood. No matter who the blood belongs to, he loves it when someone loses their morality and kills another. It gives him sardonic peace. "I brought you two of his fingers as you asked," Axel said as Daniel threw the plastic bag on the table that had two guillotined fingers in it. "Very well," He said and hurried to the bag before looking at the fingers

Evelyn was done preparing breakfast as she set the table for two. He hasn't left for work which means he must be in his room. She padded over to his room to call him but paused at the door and set her hair before straightening her clothes. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress and her hair was in a ponytail. She was dressed nicely because she knew he was home and she wanted to rile him up. She knocked on the door twice but got no reply. Stepping inside she found his room to be empty. Evelyn looked for him in the whole mansion and heard noise from the indoor gym. She peeked through the door and her eyes widened seeing his muscular back as he did pull-ups. No wonder he has all those muscles. She quietly watched him as his exercise became more difficult. He did push-ups and then did some reps. Her lips were parted slightly and she had to bring herself back to her senses before stepping into sight and leaning against the door as she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him

"I... I'm sorry," She stuttered not knowing what else to say. She didn't want to rile him up like this. She moved her hand down before placing her palms on his torso to keep her distance between them. "I... I," She didn't know what to say. He grabbed both of her wrists before planting them on the island above her head with ease which caused him to lean closer and his erection touched her core again as her dress hitched up. She gaped at him, shocked with a bit of fear. "Sorry won't do, Jewel." He rasped, peering down at her as she gulped. Her brows were furrowed and she was chewing on her bottom lip while trying to wriggle out from his hold but it was impossible. He grunted as his jaw twitched. "Keep struggling and I might end up claiming you right here right now," He rumbled and she stilled under him, her wide eyes stared at him baffled before she lowered her gaze but he didn't seem to like it. Grabbing her chin he jerked her face up and freed her lip from her teeth and red

"I love you," He rasped. She blinked at his shoulder. Maybe she heard wrong. "I love you so damn much!" He growled lowly before pulling back to look into her eyes but she was still gazing at the bite marks on his neck so he grabbed her chin and garnered her attention back on him. "I love you," His gruff voice was full of emotions as he let those words out. The sincerity in his eyes rendered her speechless. "Why?" She couldn't stop herself but asked. "You hated me before the truth then how come you suddenly love me?" She asked, confused. He smiled at her sadly before tucking her hair behind her ear. With those mesmerizing silver eyes and those small piercing canines, she still looked like the most beautiful woman he has ever come across. "I never hated you though I wanted to but I couldn't because it wasn't in my control," He rasped looking fondly at her, and all of a sudden it was too much to take in. She slowly tried to get off of him and his face dropped. The girl tried to a

She quietly served him and he stared at the steak as his mouth watered. They dug in the food and he loved it. The weather was nice and cold as the stars twinkled beautifully and the moon beamed at them. The relaxing silence engulfing them felt soothing. "I looked into something. If you want you could resume your studies privately from home. I had already talked with the head of your university about it. You don't have to worry about anything. Until there's a threat outside, you can continue studying from home only if you want," He added the last part instantly as she blinked at him. He was so kind to her that it was scaring her but she had to face her fear, otherwise she would stay stuck in that loop of darkness forever. She wasn't doing it for anyone else but rather for herself because she knew she deserves happiness. "Thank you, I'll get bored so it will be good if I could get back on with my studies," She said softly, staring at her food as Axel smiled while drinking his wine.
