Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Daxton's POV

I didn't leave her side until I heard a car coming and I knew that it was Arman driving that car, I couldn't be wrong because the sound of the engine sounds familiar.

I took a last glance at the face of an angel, damn, I just wanted to stay by her side and not leave her but I couldn't because father would be suspicious. I have to let her go, just for a while, I'll take her at the right time.

I distanced myself when the car got nearer to my senses, but it was still in the distance since my senses are just stronger. I then hid in one of the big trees. After that, I watched the little girl and was surprised that she's already conscious. I saw her slowly waking up and then stood up confused.

She looked at her body with confusion, she might have seen herself healed after a lot of wounds and bruises she received from the humans.

I smiled, even her simple gestures could melt my heart. Damn it, I was already lured by that little girl into her world.

She really looks so innocent as if she doesn't deserve to live in this cruel world. No place is this world that isn't cruel, because wherever you go, there is darkness within. But she's purely light with no darkness in her aura ever after what happened to her.

When the car came, she immediately waved her hand to ask for help. I have a hunch that she doesn't like this human village and that was answered through her actions.

She doesn't know that the car came... only for her and to take her away from this place.

I decided not to show myself until I saw her get inside the car... I watched as the car started running once again.

I sighed, but then, smiled that there's no need for me to look for my mate... because she came to me... and that she will be under my protection.

That was how my world started to revolve around her. I started investigating her life and why she was brought into the cave that night. I found out about her family. It was painful to think that she had to undergo such things at a young age... those humans are worse than any other creatures, although vampires are the worst but they follow laws from the Vampire King, and the vampires attacking the innocents were deviating the law of their land.

I just couldn't think how much suffering she had experienced in her life, especially in her past that caused her trauma. Although she was a lot more of a mystery, I discovered who her father was but not her mother... However, a part of my mind is telling me that her mother is not just a simple creature.

Who her mother was, that's what I have to find out. The rumours in the human village says that they are a family of witches, her mother as they say was a powerful witch. But that was only a rumour, because the terrible event that happened to the human village was not caused by witches but because of vampires.

Maiveline. That was the little girl's name, a beautiful name that really suits her.

I swore to myself that I would create a good family with her. Yes, at the age of 13, I was so sure to marry her and be her family. And that I promised to myself and to the Moon Goddess, that I will protect my Queen for the rest of my life.

Under my order, Arman, Silas and Vera were the trusted people that are working for me, the people I trusted to protect and take good care of the future Queen Luna of werewolves.

At first, I only wanted Silas and Vera to report everything to me. They would usually send pictures of her. Those pictures of her allowed me to withstand every difficulty my father had ever given me. I would just usually look at those pictures after a tiring day, I use them for my strength because without her to fight for, I don't know if I could have lived up to a lot longer than expected.

However, it was somehow not enough as time passed by. Because every day, I missed her more than ever, my feelings for Maiveline had gotten greedy. I ended up visiting her from time to time, and watching her from a distance is not enough to satisfy myself.

Sometimes, I would quietly escape my room at night and visit her. I could even see her having nightmares, that a part of me wanted to comfort her, to talk to her and tell her everything will be alright, I wanted to do many things but I couldn't, I could only watch her from afar.

It was a pain in my chest to see her, haunted by her past.

Time passed by and I ended up visiting her even in the daytime. I doubt if she ever saw me, I just wanted to see her... I just wanted to know what she was doing and if she's alright. Damn, I don't know that my feelings for her had gotten deeper than it was... as if my world only revolved for her.

"Am I doing it right?" I asked Arman while he was sitting in the driver's seat.

He drives for me every time I visit Maiveline. Goodness, it feels so good saying her name.

I sighed, Arman was the only one who knew her beside Silas and Vera.

"What do you mean, My Lord?" He looked at the rearview mirror to look at me.

I did not answer, I just remained to look at her, at my mate. She is starting to grow, turning into a graceful lady, but here I am, having no guts to introduce myself.

I could see that boys were around her, I know that she attracts them without even knowing it. I cannot deny the beauty she has. To be honest, she's very beautiful and shining in the light. As if, everything she holds turns into something meaningful.

"You do," Answered Arman.

He finally understood what I was trying to ask. I don't know if he is just being biassed or if I really am doing it right. I have no fucking idea.

I can't even face Maiveline, I cannot even get close to her. Damn it!

I was never really loved properly by my parents. I know that those were all because they wanted me to be stronger and more fiercer. That's why, I just followed what they wanted me to do, which they think is the right thing to do, but they never did what is right because they have already forgotten what's right and that is... loving their own child.

Girls at my age went after me to show their affections, but I never reciprocated it. Because, my heart already belonged to her. Maiveline owns it and I couldn't take it away since I have already marked her which only means she's mine... and I'm hers. That's the rule and the power of the Mark.

She doesn't know about it yet, but ever since I marked her she cannot love another man except me, she cannot fall to another man unless the Mark disappears but it's more powerful since it was coming from me.

And ever since, I gave her that Bite Mark, she doesn't have any idea how it affects me. How her action seduces me without her even knowing, the pull is much stronger than I expected. I must have given that Mark too early because it is making me insane. Without her presence I felt like my mind was going crazy. One thing is for sure, I cannot fall in love with someone else... except her.

However, despite those, the Mark will serve as her protection from the danger because if she's in danger I would immediately feel it due to the bond. Werewolves will not harm her, if so, they would immediately recognize the power she holds in the Werewolves.

Still now, I'm not sure if I was doing the right thing by loving her. I was not sure if she would accept me this way. Would she accept me if she found out about everything that I did?

It was a terrifying thought of her not understanding everything. I wanted to give her freedom to live as she will, not to be locked up in the castle and suffer. I wanted her to choose life choices. I wanted her to do everything so that she could grow into a woman I could grow with. However, I am too afraid that freedom would lead her to another man. It was difficult to give her freedom and keep waiting for her to be mine.
