BACK AT AXEL’S MANSION.
Anna sighed again. She had tried to activate her powers numerous times now but it’s not working at all and to think she was hopeful. If she had her powers, she would be able to get out of this place.
Oh! Would she?
Truthfully, she was having second thoughts on getting out of the place and strangely she was also nursing some feelings for that ruthless monster who killed her parents but she had assured herself that it was because he saved her numerous times already and the feeling she was having towards him was that of gratitude.
But however deep down, she knew that was not it. But then what is it?” She had asked herself.
She sighed again because her thoughts had drifted to him, whom she h@tëd and also had some kind of strange feeling for and she had the urge to see him. She had went downstairs thinking he was probably in the living room but he wasn’t.
d@mn him for making her go though such troubles. She herself had given up the hope of going to college cause she knows it was not possible again at all.
An idea struck at her and she stood up. She got to the door of his room and without knocking she entered but to her surprise, no one was there.
“What do you like sneaking around blue eyes?” His cold deep voice came behind her and she flinched startled.
“What the hell! You scared me!” She snapped turning back to look at him. He was looking extremely handsome as his some of his wet hair fell on his eyes. He was indeed handsome.
“What do you want blue eyes?” He asked and her eyes went to his cheeks. Though they are not red as before, they still definitely needed some attention.
“You should at least treat that!” She snapped and raised her hand to rich his cheeks but he immediately held it and she scoffed.
“I told you that I am not weak blue eyes and I don’t your pity. I don’t need it blue eyes, get that into your head!” He snapped and dropped her hand roughly.
Pool of tears had gathered around her eyes and she bit her lower lip as tears candy running down from her eyes.
His eyes widened in surprise but before he could even talk, she hit him on his chest angrily.
“You fool! Bastard! I h@të you! I h@të you!” She kept on repeating as she continued to hit him angrily, tears rushing out of her eyes.
‘I d@mn h@të you!” She yelled and Axel held both of her hands and she looked up t him, tears pouring out the more from her eyes. Axel still had that shocked look on his face. He just could not believe what was actually happening.
“Do you really think I want to care about you?!” She yelled at him looking directly into his beautiful gray eyes and that got him more frozen to the spot.
“I don’t wanna care but I find myself caring for a ruthless monster like you!” She yelled again.
“You killed my parents you know and I should kill you too but yet here am I caring about you and you! You are treating me like trash!
“Alright, I admit that I’m at fault. I made you get hurt and I disobeyed you by following him but I apologized, didn’t I and also I did not mean to see your face if that what’s is making you angry. I just opened my eyes at the wrong minute and here you are pushing me away like I’m a piece of Sh|t of poop or something so disgusting!” She yelled and paused breathing heavily as more tears ran out from her eyes.
“And that’s it, I am so done. If you don’t need my care or sympathy, I’m so done. I’m never doing it again. I’m never going to care about you, even though you die. I just simply don’t care!” She said the last part coldly and fred her hands from his.
She was about going when he grabbed her by her forearm and then he pulled her into a tight embrace.
Her eyes went wide immediately he did that but then she froze again when she heard the word she never expected to hear ever from him.
“I’m sorry!!
She was about going when he grabbed her by her forearm and then he pulled her into a tight embrace.
Her eyes went wide immediately he did that but then she froze again when she heard the word she never expected to hear ever from him.
“I’m sorry!”
Anna could not comprehend what just happened. What he just said. It was more like a dream to him.
Meanwhile Axel closed his eyes, with his heart beating loudly in his chest. He didn’t plan for it. He didn’t plan to do it but then he just couldn’t bear to see her mad , angry and crying. He gritted his teeth and he blamed himself for making her cry and then he disengaged from the hug gradually.
Anna stared at him, her anger dissipated already. She still couldn’t believe he apologized to her. It was still a shock to her.
The both of them stared into each other’s eyes for minutes with an overwhelming silence in the room.
Anna sighed and then opened her mouth to speak.
“I’ll get ice for your cherks” She said with an reassuring smile. She made to go but then he pulled her back by her forearm.
She was about to question him when he grabbed her waist and pressed his lips against hers. Anna was completely taken aback with what he did but however her shock was replaced with a warm feeling.
She felt butterflies dancing in her stomach as her eyes voluntarily closed and she kissed him back.
Axel pulled her more closer and she tugged at his hair enjoying the blissful moment that they were both having.
None of them wanted it to end. They both kept pulling each other close and continued kissing passionately.
Axel unlocked his lips from hers still staring at her and he immediately lowered his head to neck before placing a soft wet kiss on it and she shuddered.
She was lost already but then it came ringing in her head.
“Are you really doing this? Are you gonna betray your parents? You have forgotten that he killed your parents! He killed your parents!
All of a sudden, she pulled away panting staring at Axel who had no readable expression on his face.
“I , I, Excuse me!” She finally managed to day before she ran out.
Axel chuckled sardonically and sat on his bed.
He thought that with out the mate bond, it was useless, all useless with her and he just wanted to use her. To use her to get some thing but here he was already, already smitten.
“d@mn you all! I don’t want this weird feeling! I don’t want it!” He cursed lowly as he ran his hands into his hair.
It was becoming very unbearable for him, just like the first time or should he say, it was more intense this time.
He closed his eyes and uttered her name.
“Anna!”
But he just couldn’t lose control cause when he does, he loved with his whole might, his whole body, his whole heart and his whole soul but he just couldn’t afford to do it again.
After getting himself together, he picked up a jacket and wore it before taking the car keys on the table. He already had plans of leaving earlier but the little girl came and distracted him.
“Leon..” He called out with a sigh and within minutes, Leon was in his room.
“You set to go?” Leon asked him as he put on his wrist watch.
“Do I really have to answer that?” Axel said with a scoff and Leon chuckled and hugged him tightly from the back.
“Hey! What the hell are you doing? Let go this instant?!” Axel yelled.
“I love you so much Axel..” Leon whined like a child and Axel smiled.
“Don’t worry, I’m gonna get candies for you when coming back” He said with a tease in his voice and Leon chuckled before releasing him.
“Axel” Leon called in a more serious tone and he faced him.
“Don’t try to to get angry or you know what’s going to happen” Leon warned and Axel raised his hand in surrender.
“Fine then..”
“Have you told your little wife where you are headed to?” Leon asks him and he shook his head in denial. They began walking out of the room.
“Why? She’s gonna get mad!” Leon said again and Axel scoffed loudly.
“Fine!” He said in a surrending tone.

WITCHES COVEN.
Gathered around were all the witches in the coven both male and female. They all had a common feature and that was their hair, their silver hair and also a major source of their power except some had slight difference, some were sliver but had gray stripes on it and some were pure sliver.
“Pay respect to the princess!” A loud voice echoed in the hall and they all fell to their knees.
The Princess Tatiana walked into their midst with a pure white long gown that swept the ground. A sliver crown was placed on her head as her long sliver hair glowed meticulously. A beautiful smile escaped her lips.
“You can stand up!” She said and they all stood up.
“You know why we are gathered here today. We have to fasten our belts before our entire race is wiped out!” She said and they all nodded.
“Yes, we have been planning this for a long while now and we have also been keeping tabs! So we can know when to attack! I guess the time is now. It’s time for us to protect our race and our children from the impeding doom that will sweep us all out!” Tatiana spoke out much ferociously .
She closed her eyes and then uttered a spell and within seconds, a sword appeared in her hands. It was Sliver and very shiny.
“It’s time to attack!” She yelled and there was a loud noise in the hall.
To be continued.
