LOGINElle’s POVHe paused midway in our kiss and while still looking at me, he gently lifted me off the ground, laying me on the bed.By now, I was completely naked before him and contrary to what I expected, I wasn’t feeling self-conscious. Looking in his eyes, he seemed to be in complete awe of me at the feeling it gave me was out of this world.I had only managed to take off his shirt so after he laid me down, he stood over me, taking off his pants by himself.By the time he stood bare before me, my eyes widened at the sight. He was a large man by body size, and yes I had had some private thoughts about some parts of him. Especially that night that I did what I did alone. However, whatever I was thinking I would see was nothing compared to what I had in front of me.He was very large and long down there that’s for a moment, I felt a sense of urgency and fear taking over me. I wondered if I could really take all of that.He leaned down, staring into my eyes.“Do you want to do this?” h
King Kerman’s POVI could see that my words were scaring her and I wasn’t really surprised. She didn’t seem like the kind of person who was used to that kind of life. War. But I was. It was a very normal thing for me.To calm her down, I stepped closer, holding her face gently. She looked at me, eyes soft.“What is it? Are you scared?”She shook her head. “No, I’m just worried. It doesn’t feel right. I don’t think you should do it.”I sighed. The fact that she cared so much about it even though she barely knew anything about this life, it reminded me why I chose to keep her close to me from the beginning. She was a stark contrast to the life I knew. And as chaotic as she could be sometimes, she was a symbol of peace.“I know it doesn’t sit well with you but some things must happen.”She grabbed onto my arms. “No, they mustn’t. I mean, people will just get hurt for nothing. It makes no sense if it can be avoided.”I paused briefly, thinking about her words as they reminded me of some
Elle’s POVI couldn’t believe the things he was saying to me. Sure he had his own problems and liked to punish people and even sucked blood from some.However, he didn’t seem like the kind of man who would just go on a rampage and kill people who had done nothing to him. I knew they had to be more to the story.“Wait, let me understand this. So you ordered the destruction, but you don’t remember why you did it?”He nodded. “I don’t even remember ordering it. I was told and I believed.”“And you didn’t try to verify it?”“Elle,” he stood, sighing. “I know you’re trying to help, but there are some things that cannot be changed. I was responsible for it.”“And how sure are you?”“Because…” he paced. “Like I said, the order had my seal on it. No other person would dare use it for something like that. Besides,”“Besides?”“We had a party the night before and I was a little too drunk. It was my first time having a taste of something that strong and it completely knocked me out. I believe it
King Kerman’s POVListening to myself telling her all these things, I wasn’t even sure how I felt. I wanted to stop myself, but I couldn’t.Apart from the fact that she was very persuasive, there was this sense of calm that I felt finally letting out this side of me.A side I had kept hidden for years. Hiding it wasn’t very easy and no matter how much I try to act like it never happened, it did. And that reality haunted me every single day. Whenever I got up, I always thought about how I destroyed one of the most important things in the supernatural world.It was my fault that the werewolves and vampires were no longer on good terms because I destroyed the only bridge that used to exist between us. Of course, everyone had a reason to be wary. Especially my mother. She also had her reason to be wary.I looked at her for a moment, taking on the eagerness in her face. Whatever I had to say, she just wanted to hear it.And I knew it wasn’t because she had any plans to report me to anyon
Elle’s POV The realization hit me hard. There may have been more about Maya than I knew and suddenly, a wave of urgency hit me. What if she was a bad person who wanted to hurt my father? “I need to get to my father. If everybody in town is just like you, my father may be in trouble.” I began rushing for the door but he quickly held me back. “Relax. If your father’s neighbour wanted to hurt him, she would’ve done it without calling you back from school, don’t you think? Why would she call you back just to have her as a witness?” I stopped immediately, thinking about his words. They made sense. She had him all to herself and if she wanted to hurt him, she could’ve done it without me ever having a chance to find out. This calmed me down momentarily but I registered it at the back of my mind to still go check up on my father much later. “Fine, let’s say I believe everything you’ve said.” “You do.” “And how do you know that?” “Because I can’t see it in your eyes
Elle’s POVListening to him tell me all about his life feels like a huge lie. I cannot even bring myself to believe half of the things coming out of his mouth.“Wait, are you trying to tell me that you are not a human being?”He stares at me before shaking his head.“Yes, that is exactly what I mean.”I pause for a moment, drawing my eyes over him, trying to look for any sign that he is lying or at least just making a joke even though my mind still carries the picture of what I saw in the forest that day. I’m trying to gaslight myself that it was all some parts of a big prank. It’s the same thing I’ve been trying to do from the very beginning.But he insisted that everything I saw was nothing but the raw truth.“Are you for real?”He nodded again. “Yes, Elle, I have no reason to lie to you now.”Silence.Suddenly, I burst into laughter, still unsure of how to react.“No, you have to be pulling my legs. This has got to be some kind of a prank.”He walked up to me, enclosing himself in
