The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 115
NIKOLAII grit my teeth as an ugly emotion fills me. I hate that it feels like fear.“You said—”“Answer the question.”A long silence fills the room as I hesitate.And then I say, “No.”It’s amazing how fast the answer comes. It’s automatic. I don’t have to think about it.I brace myself for Derek’s reaction, but he doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t even look offended.He just continues to watch me, his gaze inscrutable.“I’ve known you since you were fifteen,” he starts.I tense immediately. I already know where this is going.“I found you on the streets. You were alone, broken, directionless. You were running from the police after you killed your foster father. Do you remember?”“I do,” I say tightly.How could I forget? It’s only one of the most important aspects of my life.“I brought you home. I protected you. Gave you purpose. Made you strong.” He leans forward. “I made every problem in your life go away. Handled all the loose ends. Do you remember that?”I look away from him, sh
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 114
NIKOLAII stay rooted in the same spot long after Julian is gone.I can’t believe he just did that.I can’t believe he dumped me… and I let him go.I just watched him leave, without knowing whether he’ll come back or not.I start pacing, smoothing my hair back.Caleb is right. I’ve changed.The old me wouldn’t have allowed Julian to do what he just did.He toyed with my heart, with my emotions and I allowed him to get away with it.Without so much as a scratch or making him regret what he did.Yep. I’ve totally gone soft.Weak, a voice in my head says. You’ve gone weak.Shut up, I tell it back.Now is not the time. Especially when I have so much to deal with.I have to pacify Derek and I have to think about what to do with Julian.He can’t leave me that easily.I won’t allow it.The sound of my door opening pulls me from my thoughts.The smell of lavender fills the room.I sigh irritatedly. “When are you ever going to learn to knock?”Caleb chuckles as he shuts my door behind him. “We
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 113
JULIAN My heart stops, the question unexpectedly hitting me like a shot to the heart. He continues before I can speak, “Your whole life seems to revolve around him. It’s always Theo this, Theo that, whatever Theo wants. Have you ever done whatever you want? What makes you happy? Or do you not know what that is, either?” His words strike deep at a corner of my chest. My heart clenches and I bring a hand to my chest. He makes it sound so awful, like I don’t have a backbone. I’ve never really thought of it like that but is it really that bad? Do I really have no identity outside of Theo? It’s not true… right? A cold chill settles over me and I almost shiver. “If you think I’m so pathetic,” I say through clenched teeth, “then why are you still with me? Why haven’t you dumped me yet?” He sighs. “Because unfortunately for me, I find that side of you attractive. I like the fact that you’re selfless, that you’ll do anything for whoever you love.” He shakes his head, a look of disgu
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 112
JULIAN I narrow my eyes even as my heart flutters. It doesn’t matter what my dumb and traitorous heart feels. Thankfully, my brain is in charge now and it’s not as prone to making stupid decisions. “I can’t take accountability for something that isn’t my fault.” “Something that isn’t your fault?” he echoes in disbelief. “Let’s see here, you made the plan—” “I didn’t. Theo did.” My eyes widen as I realize what just came out of my mouth. I didn’t mean to throw Theo under the bus but I guess that’s what I just did. Nikolai doesn’t look surprised, which makes sense. If he truly heard everything that day just like he said he did, then he probably already knows. “Why?” “Why what?” I snap. I’m already tired of this back and forth. All I want to do is end this conversation, go back home and tell Theo it’s done, and then go back to my room, hugging my pillow while I feel sorry for myself. I just want to put this entire thing behind me. Is that too much to ask? “Why did you two tar
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 111
JULIANThe words taste like ash as they leave my mouth. For a moment, I consider taking them back but I tighten my resolve.This is what needs to be done. I’m doing the right thing.I might not have gone to the police but I’m not going to enter a relationship with a murderer.The silence lingers a bit longer this time after my words.When I finally chance a look at him, what I see on his face takes me by surprise.I expected him to react in a multitude of ways. Heck, I imagined multiple scenarios in my head last night before I fell asleep.Maybe he’ll be angry, maybe he’ll act betrayed, maybe he’ll throw things, maybe he’ll threaten to kill me.Or maybe he’ll do none of those things and just detach himself emotionally.But what I never expected him to do is smile.“The hell you are,” he says.His words almost make me choke on my own spit.“Excuse me?”He folds his arms again, the edges of his mouth ticking up.“So… I guess we’re at that stage of the plan, huh? Is it finally time for y
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER 110
JULIANThere are a lot of exciting things to do on a beautiful Saturday morning.This isn’t one of them.I stand in front of Nikolai’s door, one finger in the air poised to ring the doorbell.Anyone that sees me now would think I’m frozen in place.I don’t know why I’m hesitating. Or why my stomach is churning violently, like I want to puke.The plan is simple. Go in there and break up with Nikolai.So why does it suddenly feel like the most difficult thing in the world?Maybe it’s because you don’t really want to, a voice whispers not so helpfully.I grit my teeth. It’s ridiculous. It doesn’t matter if I want to or not.It doesn’t even matter that I don’t find Nikolai as annoying as before. Or that I’m starting to like him.There’s no realistic scenario that can come out of this.It’s not like I can head off into the sunset and live happily ever after with a murderer.I shudder involuntarily.That’s why this needs to end. Not just for Theo’s sake, but because this is going exactly no
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER SIX
JULIANThe words settle between us, heavy with something unspoken.It sounds like a warning. Or an invitation. I’m not sure which.I just know, even with my senses tingling, I still don’t step back. I don’t walk away like I should.Around us, the party is still going on, loud and messy. But at that
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER FIVE
JULIANHe walks across the room like he owns it. Like everything around him bends to his will.People move out of his way wordlessly as he passes, as if under a spell, creating a space for him to walk freely.His eyes flick over my face as he approaches, slow and assessing, like he’s cataloguing so
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER TWO
NIKOLAII wrinkle my nose as I drag the body across the basement floor and onto the middle of the large nylon.Sweat rolls down my face, dripping onto the floor and my muscles strain from the effort.“I could use a little help here, Caleb,” I mutter to my annoying brother as he stands there and wat
The Devil Who Claimed Me (M x M) CHAPTER ONE
JULIANI didn’t know love could ruin everything I cared about.Which is funny to me because I grew up never knowing the true meaning of love.To me, it was just a word I heard everywhere, a word people used freely but I never understood.No one ever used it for me and I never thought to use it for
