Chapter 53: Chapter 53

- Cyrus' POV -

I ran as fast as I could to join the battle of fighting against the vampires, I know that the guards there couldn't last a bunch of vampires trying to get in. They will get weaker if it keeps going on.

I don't know where that number of vampires have come from, but their existence seems to have been showing up... as if they have come from a hidden portal. I guess Daxton had an idea about that but remained quiet.

When I reached the border, I could see the patrollers fighting against vampires, which were about fifty of them. Damn it! Patrollers left are only around 30, my eyesight is still bright and clear despite the darkness and that's my advantage.

When I saw a vampire passing one of the guards, I ran swiftly and in just a second I was already lifting him up and strangling him down while holding his neck. I immediately cut his head and threw it somewhere.

"Alpha Cyrus! I'm glad you came." One of the patrollers approached me as he caught his breath, "They keep on coming since yesterday night. The guards are getting weaker in number."

I looked at him and nodded, "I'll get some of my men to guard this border. Just do your job and defend your territory." I stated in my usual cold voice.

"Thank you Alpha Cyrus!" He praised as he bowed his head.

"Now go." I said and he immediately ran to fight with some other vampires.

Just as the moment I pulled my silencer gun out of my pocket, I didn't realize that a vampire had lunged on me and when my senses recognized it... I looked at that vampire and saw him falling down to his death with an arrow buried in his chest.

I immediately looked to see who did that but when I looked in the direction, I saw that suspicious person I was following earlier just behind one of the trees. My scotopic vision could clearly sense her, and I should not be wrong... it was a girl. Through her petite figure and her ponytail hair where the hood just had fallen to her shoulder... I could say it was a girl, I just couldn't recognize her because of her mask.

And because I was surprised looking at that girl, I didn't notice another vampire who lunged on me, just until he clung on my back. He was about to bite me but another arrow was shot on his forehead that made me stunned on my spot, it nearly killed me. The vampire fell dead and I looked again at the girl who just saved me but... she disappeared.

I looked around for her; however, she's nowhere to be found. Instead I focused on fighting against the vampires. I also called through a mind link to a group of guards from my pack to help defend the East Border.

Using my Silencer Gun, I swiftly keep pulling the trigger, killing each vampire just through their heart to kill them on the spot and they just keep falling down, dead and turned into ashes. I couldn't let anyone get inside the border... alive.

However, my mind was still occupied by that mysterious girl. Who is she? Why did she save me? Do I know her?

And... dammit, the way she uses an archer is like an expert. She's... a sharpshooter.

I am a sharpshooter when it comes to guns. But that girl is an archer expert.

I wonder who she is and why she is here in this weakest pack.

- Daxton's POV -

Maiveline opened her eyes and those beautiful hazel eyes shone bright that made my system go crazy. Oh how I wanted to kiss those eyes... her lips moved a bit that I couldn't help but bite my lower lip.

Everything she does is too tempting... fuck.

I saw her sniffing the air and then immediately stood up, surely she sensed me. She, then, looked directly at my way, damn those eyes. I want it all mine, the way she moved is so graceful that I've been so greedy, wanting to be the only one to see her.

"D-Daxton?" She called despite not seeing my face.

I was hiding in the darkness right at the corner and I am sure that she couldn't see me here, however, she recognized me and the way it seemed... She's not afraid.

Oh how I loved her calling my name, damn that soft voice in the middle of the night. It is just so addicting.

I took a deep breath, trying to control myself from doing things that I think she wouldn't like. However, her pretty face is like a hypnosis making me show myself.

Fuck! I am getting greedy right now, really greedy.

The moment she saw me, her confusion and curiosity subsided as it was changed with contentment and bliss.

"I am dreaming again, aren't I?" She softly asked as she stood up from the bed with a smile on her face.

Those smile... fuck, my mind is getting irrational at that sight.

"You sure are," I answered. Getting amused by her reaction.

She sighed and became eased upon hearing those words.

"How was your wound? Why do you have to join that battle?" She softly and carefully asked, sounding concerned.

I raised my brows, confused by her actions. She did not even bother to confirm whether she was dreaming or not but immediately believed what I said.

I sighed in relief to see her getting comfortable, is it because she thinks that this is just a dream? She's usually nervous when I am around, at school and the recent nights that I came to see her.

I like her both ways, though. Damn, that was so fucking cheesy. My mind is not getting straight.

I walked closer towards her, closing the gap between us and she just looked at me with a face I couldn't decipher but it had no confusion... fear or uneasiness as if she was used to me. I couldn't help but pull her into a hug. I shouldn't be this greedy but how am I supposed to stop myself? I have been controlling myself from doing stupid things like these for so many years and I don't think I can stop now.

I was surprised when she hugged me back which made me stiffened a bit. She, then, sniffed my neck and it was as if I caught my breath. Oh fucking Maiveline, you shouldn't be doing that when we are alone in a room. You don't know how much I am controlling the monster inside me right now.

Dammit, she really knows how to make me miserable.

"You are drunk," She said all of a sudden but there was no anger, as if she just wanted to clarify.

I chuckled. I just had a few drinks. If I had to be honest, it was her that was making me dizzy.

"How about you don't ignore me at school?" She suggested, she must have really thought that everything right now is just a dream because she is getting more straightforward.

I did not respond as I hugged her tighter, feeling this moment with her... the moment that I have always been longing. I then kissed her forehead. This is the only moment where I could touch her... feel her without worries.

She couldn't be seen close to me or she'll get hurt because I have thousands of enemies, waiting for my soft spot.

She hugged me even more tightly, as she kept smelling my scent. I smiled, she is getting addicted to me as well. Oh damn, Maiveline, you're making me want more.

"You should not visit me, Daxton. Or I'll wait every night for you..."

I suddenly got afraid from what she had said, knowing that I am considering visiting her every fucking night.
