Chapter 42: Chapter 42
- Daxton's POV -
I beheaded the last standing vampire on this border and stood straight when one of my men approached me.
"My Lord, the vampires have already been taken down. The South and the Eastern border was now stable and under control." He reported as he bowed his head.
I nod at him in response which means he can go ahead. He bowed once again and then walked away. I was about to go on my way when someone showed up behind me.
"My Lord, we have to go back to the castle to treat your wound." I heard Karl said, which made me turn my back to face him.
I was a little careless earlier to receive such a scar from a knife of a mad vampire. Though it was a little deep, I am already numb for this to even think of pain.
"Don't mind it, just a little scar. Lead our men and go back to the castle, take the wounded to the pack doctor and make sure they will be treated." I stated but he was hesitating as he stood on his spot, looking at me.
"My Lord, I-I hope you d-don't mind me asking but w-where are you heading?" He asked curiously, he must have seen that I was heading in the opposite direction instead of the castle.
However, instead of answering, I turned my back at him but before I transformed into my wolf form, I said, "To my mate."
- Maive's POV -
I had a vivid dream.
I gasped, waking up in the middle of the night. Damn, what was that dream? On it, I was being chased by unknown creatures, only a shadow of them was seen. I kept running for my life and I thought... it would be the end of me, gladly I woke up just in time.
I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself. I feel so tired by just sleeping but why... Why do I get this uneasy feeling?
I looked around and wondered, why did the room I slept in seemed unfamiliar? Suddenly, I realized that I slept in my father's room because my grandmother did not allow me to go back to the dormitory after the dinner we shared.
I looked at the table and saw the clock, telling me that it's just quarter to 2 in the morning. I sighed and decided to get up, when I stood out of my bed, I was taken aback to see a shadow behind the window.
My heart was beating so fast but my brow creased realizing that the shadow seemed familiar. Maybe he was the same person who had visited me at the dormitory last time.
Despite the fear I am feeling, I could still feel the unexplainable feeling every time I saw him, his presence brought something within me. That something filled my heart, not by fear, but as for now, I don't get what it was.
"Reveal yourself." My voice was hard, trying not to lose in my fear as I grabbed the sturdy trophy next to me.
If I had to be honest, I thought that the shadow behind the window would leave. However, to my surprise, it actually came out from the darkness as the window opened unexpectedly and with just a blink of an eye, he was already in front of me.
- Daxton's POV -
I found myself outside of Maiveline's room, inside the Underwood Residence. I intentionally gave her the address so she would be in a safe place because the vampires were out of control and wanted to invade the Werewolf Land.
That is why I decided to give her the address of her family so they would take care of her. This place is in the middle of the Werewolf Land, on the border of Polaris where my palace was found as well, it is the center of my hand, the place my family holds. So there is no place safer than Polaris. All the guards in every border of Polaris were stronger and bolder because I trained them on my own desire.
I was standing on the veranda, outside her room but because the window is made out of glass, I could see her through it. I have already shifted into my human form, wearing a polo shirt and a Jeans.
Despite that I could see her, my heart and my body wanted more. She really had me... she struck my heart deeper than I expected.
For so many years, I had owned her and the desire in my heart was getting more intense as time passed. Sometimes it is getting out of control, just like this time. The bond keeps pulling me to her.
Sometimes in class, I wanted to grab her... to touch her. Damn, how I wanted to touch her but I couldn't. The fire in my heart was getting bigger and I don't know how much I could hold onto it.
For many years, I was just in the distance watching her as she grew. But there are times that I couldn't hold it anymore, she's waking up the monster inside me... she's making me frustrated because I couldn't even get a hold of her, however, the thought of her safety dominated my mind.
Once my enemies would know my weakness, they wouldn't hesitate to do everything just to bring me down. And so, I kept myself being contented by just watching her from afar.
Fuck, Maiveline is mine, but I cannot even touch what is mine.
"Reveal yourself." I heard her speak and I couldn't help but close my eyes from the effect her voice had on me, I then sniffed her alluring scent and damn, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Seemed like my wolf lost his control and in just a blink of an eye, I was already in front of Maiveline.
The shock on her face was evident that she unconsciously let go of the trophy she was holding. Damn it, she's fucking beautiful in close up... she's like an angel even after sleeping and in whatever expression she made.
Everything about her is fucking making me crazy inside, everything about her is fucking mine.
