All Chapters of HIS DARK DEVOTION : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Iris POV I let my body sink into the mattress. My back pressed against the sheets, my eyes fluttered closed, and warm tears escaped the corners, disappearing into my hairline.It is nothing new for me, but I never thought my father would go this blind in power ignoring his daughter marrying her, not sealing her to the criminal.I closed my eyes hoping for the same peace getting lost in my world.In sleep I listen to the sound of cracking then footsteps like someone is coming. Who will come here? I try to ignore it because it is maybe midnight and I often get nightmares so vivid they feel real. I turned away, ignoring it.But my consciousness telling me to wake. I feel like someone is watching me, it is too strong. My eyelashes opened slowly but as soon as I opened my eyes, my sleep vanished like smoke.A figure was the first thing I saw when I woke, sitting on my bed beside me and in a flash I felt a hand on my mouth burying my scream that had come to my throat. He hovers over me in

Iris POV A car screeched to a halt in front of me. The door swung open, and there he was my savior, David. Without any hesitation, I ran inside. The moment I shut the door, he floored the accelerator. The car shot forward, cutting the air like smooth butter. David is the best in it.He pulled into an underground parking area of a tall building, no one can suspect we were hiding here. David turned off the engine and stepped out, as I did a wide smile on his face as he came around to me.He opened his arms for a hug, but I instinctively stepped back. He stopped patting the back of his head awkwardly.“Sorry,” he mumbled. “I forgot you don’t like physical touch.”I shook my head gently. “It’s okay.”He nodded, then led me inside. The elevator hummed softly as it carried us upward. We stopped on one of the higher floors, where David pulled out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door of a neat apartment. He puts the key into my hand.“This is yours for now,” he said, “But don’t you da

Author's POVThe water drop rang into the night air, smashing against the ground, mixed with a faint smell of mud shattering all around. Her hand trembled, but her face was hard as stone. Her hazel eyes were reflecting a storm of emotions: hopelessness, sorrow, anger, sadness, hatred. Everything at once.Water dripped from her hair and clothes, soaking her completely, but Iris didn’t shiver. She didn’t care about the icy night wind flowing through the half-open window, brushing against her sensitive skin.The police station around her was alive with chaos. Officers moved hurriedly from one desk to another desk, like something very important was going to come,but Iris, it all sounded distant, like she was trapped in a world far away from there.“Here, ma’am,” a soft voice broke through the loud noise. “Please change into these, or you’ll get sick.” A young woman in formal police officer attire stood before her, holding out a neatly folded set of clothes.As if the voice didn’t reach he

Author's POV A wet, hot breath against her neck skin made her stir in her sleep. Her lashes fluttered as her eyes slowly opened, trying to adjust to her surroundings. The first thing she saw was a cracked ceiling, the faint peeling paint.Her instincts worked as she felt the wet lick against on her jaw. Now she jerked herself from the mattress, trying to regain her senses. She was gasping, like she was just waking up from a nightmare, but the nightmare just started when she opened her eyes.Her gaze found Xavier's brown ones; they were already locked into her, hungry and consuming, and the intensity inside them made her breath hitch in her throat.The faint smell of blood and raw meat clung to the room, making it harder for her to breathe the air.Her heartbeat raced wildly as she tried to crawl backward, trying to get away from him.But a growl snapped at her.
