His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride• Their First Kiss [146]
Author's POV Her breathing was getting faster with every passing second. Her finger trembled slightly as she clicked on her watch and looked toward the window.“You will finally be eighteen, and you should be happy about it,” Nora said as she rolled onto the bed, scrolling through her phone.Emily listened to Nora but didn't answer. Her whole focus was on the ticking watch. In just a few hours, she would be eighteen, and that thought was making her afraid as hell.It wasn't her age that scared her. It was her nightmare.Arlo Stone.How it had started as a small interaction and slowly turned into something that was controlling her entire life. Four years ago, when she first met him, it had been nothing more than a casual interaction. She had been curious enough to walk toward him, only to find herself caught in his sharp claws, with no way out.The way he looked at her made goosebumps rise across her skin. One thing she knew for sure he had no good intentions toward her.But the stran
His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride• The Birthday [145]
Author's POV “Get up, Iru. You’re late, darling,” he mumbled in her ear, making her sink deeper into the bed. She pulled the mattress closer around herself, trying to hide beneath the covers.“Five minutes more. I’m not getting up,” she mumbled.Xavier chuckled softly before kissing her forehead, leaving a trail of gentle kisses along her skin.“You’ve been saying that same line for the past hour,” he said as he pulled her up, completely supporting her weight in his arms.“Iru, open your eyes,” Xavier whispered against her skin.She scrunched her nose and buried her face deeper into his chest, refusing to cooperate. Her fingers lightly gripped his shirt as she mumbled, “It’s all your fault. You never let me sleep.” Iru let out a sleepy groan, her body immediately curling closer to him. “Iru, open your eyes,” Xavier whispered.She scrunched her nose and buried her face deeper into his chest.“No.”“No?” Xavier raised an eyebrow. “So you’re planning to sleep while I carry you around?”
His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride• Sleep with Her [144]
Author's POV The air between them was thick with tension.Arlo’s hazel eyes burned into her pale blue ones, his gaze intense enough to make her heart race. Moonlight spilled through the window, falling across her face and making her soft features glow. Her curls wave slightly with every shaky breath.She swallowed hard.Her fingers curled tightly into the bedsheet as Arlo continued to stare at her with an intensity that undressed her, moving from her trembling lips to her chest then to her eyes again.Her eyes left no doubt this wasn't the first time he had come here. Her throat felt tight, making it impossible to form a single word.“Lay down.” Arlo’s rough voice broke the silence, she shrank back slightly, her eyes fixed on him.She couldn't bring herself to move, Arlo's expression hardened.He tilted his head slightly, his hazel eyes never leaving hers, his eyes are hardened.“Do it before I do.” His voice was cold, almost emotionless, but the clear warning behind his words made h

Author's POV “Why did you do it?” Iris asked Arlo as they stood in front of his teacher and the principal.Arlo was Eghittenn years old now, standing there without a single trace of guilt on his face. His hair was messy, his tie was undone, and his shirt was torn.Iris waited for Arlo’s answer, but it never came. All three of them looked completely done with him.“Arlo!” Iris’s voice came out as harsh as she could make it.He finally looked up at her.“I’m sorry… Let’s go now.”That was all that came out of his mouth, in the most bored voice imaginable. It was more like he was saying it just for the sake of it. He was only doing it because he knew his mom was trying hard to scold him.Arlo picked up his bag from the table, then casually grabbed his mom’s hand and walked outside.Iris was stunned, but she didn’t say anything.As soon as they made it outside, she finally exploded.“Arlo, I’m not going to save you from your father this time! You’ve gone too far. How can you hit that boy
His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride• Worship [142]
Author's POV Iris sat comfortably on the hilltop, watching the sun slowly disappear beneath the clouds. Its warm rays brushed against her skin, making her lean closer to Xavier. They sat in silence for a while. It was the kind of silence that felt comforting rather than empty."How's your arm now?" Iris asked, glancing at him.Xavier took her hand in his and brought it to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against her knuckles."It's fine." It had been a week since his injury, and things were slowly getting back to normal.He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer."What is my princess doing?" he murmured, his gaze dropping toward her stomach.He leaned down and gently rested his hand over her growing belly."Your obsession with thinking it's a girl is getting a little too much," Iris teased.Xavier looked up at her, completely serious."What do you mean?""It's a girl." Xavier said.Iris laughed softly. "You two are already fighting over a baby who hasn't even been b

Author's POV Iris walked into the house, uneasiness settling deep in her chest. She nervously bit her nails as she glanced toward the door again."Mom, this water is for you." Arlo stood in front of her, holding out a glass of water with both hands.He was seven now, Iris looked at her little boy and managed a smile as she took the glass from him. "Thank you, sweetheart."She took a small sip before placing the glass on the table.As her eyes immediately returned to the door.It was past one in the morning, Xavier still wasn't home worse, he wasn't answering her calls either…. a strange fear tightened around her heart."Mom, sit down," Arlo said softly. "Your feet must be hurting." Iris looked down at him.The concern in his little face made her heart filled with gratitude."I'm okay, baby," she whispered, but she wasn't, something felt wrong, she forced herself to smile for Arlo, even as her fingers tightened around the phone in her hand.She called Xavier again, the call went unans
