ANNABELLA’S POV
‘ I don’t want to run.’ Eve said and I frowned. Was she going to let herself be caught? ‘You can’t make a stop.’ I told her and she stopped, turning her head back to look.’ We stand and fight.’ she said and I growled at her, opposing the idea.’ There are a lot of them, Eve.’ I said in fear, I was sure my father wouldn’t let us go. Not after what happened, if we get caught, it would be the end of us.
Alpha Christopher, the man I knew wouldn’t let us live a second more. I was afraid he might lock us in the dungeon this time.’ I can take them down.’ she said but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see that. She might be able to do that but I didn’t want to know more than I have. We have come a long way to let them get us.’ I think it better we run for dear life.’ I said pleadingly and Eve growled before starting to run.
The night breeze was cold, I could feel it brushing through Eve’s golden fur as she ran through the dark woods. Her fierce step resounded in the air with her low growl.
Her fast speed crawled into the quiet night as the sound of dry leaves and rattle sounds disturbed the night. Eve seemed to be full of mystery, her energetic moves and strong choices were applauded. She was too strong and I wonder what else she could be good at.
‘ You can’t stop now.’ I said as Eve stopped behind a tree. I later realized the warriors patrolling at the borders. I wasn’t sure if they were my father’s men but before I could say another word Eve started towards them in a fierce mood.
Everything happened so fast and before I could have a second blink Eve had taken down the five warriors and was currently running towards the main road.
‘ You can’t go on with the killing.’ I wasn’t happy with her actions. I hated the sight of blood and her violet nature scares me. ‘ It’s either you kill them or they kill you.’ she had a strong sense of humanity and her sense of reason was far different from mine.
Eve was the total opposite of me, she was fierce and violent and maybe strong.
A loud growl from behind shook the forest trees and I knew immediately that my father was coming for us. ‘ I don’t want to die without seeing Roman.’ my voice was like a plea.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
‘ Eve, what are you doing?’ She suddenly jumped onto the road with a length of not less than three meters and landed on her toes in front of a running vehicle.
For a moment I thought my wolf was crazy and wanted to kill us but when I smelled the familiar scent, I realized what she was trying to do.
‘ mate.’ she growled as Roman stepped down from the car with a cold expression. The car flashlight that was sitting on us didn’t stop us from noticing his handsome features.
” Bella.” The light went off and without notice, Eve shamelessly left me naked on the cold floor in front of him.
Roman narrowed his eyes but a distant growl changed his expression. He pulled off his black shirt and wrapped it around my naked body.
I stared back as the car turned back. I finally let out a sigh of relief.
Roman didn’t say a word throughout the drive and I didn’t know how I dozed off because when I opened my eyes again I was in the familiar room wrapped up in the familiar smell.
I growled as I stretched my aching body. The scene of the previous night started flooding and I couldn’t help but feel a bit curious, my heart stopped beating when I recalled what happened in the alpha mansion back in the shadow.’ Good morning. Sunshine Eve said in a cheerful tone obviously in the mood. ‘ You seem quite happy today.’ I asked but she just shrugged and I didn’t ask again.
I went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I saw that the golden strand of hair in my hand had turned into a bundle. My green eyes were now looking a bit darker, ‘ Did you do this?’ I asked Eve but she shrugged saying it was meant to happen.’ Can you not keep things from me?’ I pleaded, obviously not impressed. She could have warmed me before or maybe told me about her royal background.
A chunk of my hair has now turned gold out of the blue and my wolf wasn’t saying anything about it.
I turned my face to the door when I heard a knock. I didn’t need to ask because her scent was obvious.” Breakfast is getting cold, dear.” she yelled and I grabbed a towel at the side to clean my face.
” I will be down in a minute.” I threw the towel on the basin and with one last look at myself I turned and left the bathroom.
Roman was already seated at the dinner table, his hair was a bit messy with his usual cold appearance.
” Good morning.” I pulled a seat beside him and dived into my meal even though I wasn’t exactly hungry.
I could feel his stares now and then but I didn’t know how to look at him.
” Are you avoiding me?” He suddenly spoke and I stared up at him with a raised brow.” No, I’m not.” I shook my head, not looking at him.
” How was your night?” He asked and I bit on my lips. Did he want to know about last night?
” Last night….” I started and he narrowed his eyes, his green eyes fixed on me, waiting to hear what I had to say.” My father….” I cleared my throat as I suddenly didn’t want to talk about it because I didn’t know how to tell him my father wanted me to carry Summer’s pups and be his mistress.
” I healed my mom’s illness and Eve told me she is a royal wolf,” I told him but he didn’t seem surprised. He looked as nonchalant as ever and that wasn’t what I expected.
” You knew?” I didn’t know what I was asking but when he nodded in reply, I felt speechless. My eyes suddenly went cold as my grip tightened around the fork. Maybe I wouldn’t have acted the way I did if I knew my wolf was strong.” You didn’t think to tell me.” I was a bit hurt and he seemed to notice it. ” Okay, I think I will head back to the room.”
” I wanted to be sure.” He said as I left my seat. ” And now you are sure?” I forced back my tears.
” I killed my mom,” I whispered as the guilt piled up in my throat. I attacked her and now my father was after me.
” Roman.” Vincent strode in, ” alpha Christopher is here.” he said and I felt my chest heaving, my eyes widened.
