Chapter 253: STOP RIGHT THERE!

Chapter 253 STOP RIGHT THERE!

Aeon watched Haven popped the slices of apple he cut for her into her mouth as she chewed quietly. He had never thought he would be doing something like this but here he was, in a room with his partner cutting apples for her to eat.

His partner… it felt weird for him to address this total stranger like that but in a way, it warmed his heart.

No.. not total stranger.. this was his now. This beautiful and fragile looking being whom he knew nothing about was now his. She was now his life partner and his responsibility from now on and Aeon wanted nothing more than to be with her and protect her.

But he knew she didn’t want this union from the start and that was why they needed to sit and sort things out. From the corner of his eye, he could see her eating her apples.

“We need to talk” He said not looking up.

“About?” was her short reply.

“Everything” He glanced at her briefly before his attention returned to the apple in his hands “Listen , I really don’t get why you’re acting this way. Why are you so against our union?”

“What are you talking about?” He heard her ask.

Aeon’s concentration was still on the apple he was cutting as he spoke “ Well.. look, I know you’re not happy with this– this whole situation but, you can tell me what the problem is and then we could try to fix it okay?”

“I don’t want to force you into doing anything you don’t wan—” He was still talking when he felt her dash past him and head for the door. Seeing Haven dash off like that startled Aeon. He didn’t expect she would pull a stunt like that.

“Oh, come on!” He dropped the knife and got to his feet too. “Damn it!!” He cursed before running after her. Where on earth did she think she was going?

“Hey! Stop!” He yelled as he chased her “ Stop! Where are you going? Stop! Wait, stop!” He kept yelling but Haven wouldn’t listen of course.

“ STOP RIGHT THERE!!” His deep voice growled before he could stop himself. This probably startled Haven who was almost at the door because he saw her trip and almost fall to the ground. Her momentum slowed for a split second and that was all Aeon needed.

His hand wrapped around her arm as he pulled her backwards, throwing her into the room once more.

And that was it. All her hopes to escape this place broke into a million pieces as she watched him bolt the door once more. He turned to face her, a disapproving look on his face.

“You think you can runaway from here huh? You think you can runaway from me? Seriously? You really want to leave?!”

“I’ve told you” She yelled “I have no intention of staying in this fucking place! I want to go home!!”

“But I’m your partner, this is your home”

“It’s not!” Haven growled “ And you are not my partner! I have a partner already and he is back home waiting for me!”

This made Aeon’s face turn to a scowl “Stop blabbering rubbish—”

“It’s not rubbish! I have my own mate!”

Aeon ran his hands through his head. This woman was driving him crazy.

“That Desert of no return must have really messed with your brain. You’ve become delusional” He shook his head “I must take you back to the Guardian Angels for a checkup.

His words made Haven clutched her fists so tight, veins began to show. “I am not crazy!” She managed to say through gritted teeth. Her blood started to boil and eyes glared daggers at him.

“And I’m certainly not some Guardian Angel.. I don’t even know what that is and why are all of you not believing me? I really am someone’s mate! I’m Lucious—” She stopped abruptly when she realized what she was about to say.

“What?” Aeon’s face darkened “What did you just say?” His black obsidian eyes became even darker.

Haven swallowed. Katie had warned her about mentioning Lucious’ name anywhere in this village. What was she thinking?

She cleared her throat and glared back at Aeon “I am not your partner. I will never be. I don’t need any partner okay? I’m fine with my life so just let me go already!”

“You belong to me” He stated as if it was the most simplest thing in the world “You’re mine.”

“Your words make me cringe” Haven spat “I can never be yours, not even over my dead body!—”

“ENOUGH!!” Aeon has had enough of her nonsense. Maybe it was time to show Haven that she really belonged to him and no one else.

“I said.. you belong to me and me.. alone!” His feet slowly started to move towards her “Maybe I should show you, maybe you’d finally accept it then”

Chills ran down Haven spine seeing him approach her with that look on his face “What do you think you’re doing? Stop.. Don’t you dare come close to me.. stop..” Her alarmed eyes looked everywhere out of fear.

What did he want to do to her?

Her eyes landed on the knife Aeon left on the table and without wasting time, she hurriedly grabbed it.

“I SAID STOP RIGHT THERE!” She barked pointing the knife at him. “ Don’t you dare take another step or else..”

“Or else what?”

“Or else.. i– I don’t know what I’ll do.. I’m holding a knife.. I’ll hurt you, I’m warning you.”

Her threat made Aeon smirk. He knew she didn’t dare to use a knife on him. She was a Guardian Angel after all. And guardian angels were never violent.

“You won’t use that knife on me.” He smiled moving even closer. Haven had stopped walking backwards now and was pointing the sharp knife at him “You can’t hurt me”

“I’m warning you.. stay back or else.. I’ll– I’ll really hurt you..” Haven stuttered seeing him closing the distance between them. Her heart hammered violently but she still stood her ground. There was no way she was going to go down without a fight.

“I am warning you Aeon.. I really don’t want to hurt you.. don’t come any closer..” She warned again but it was of no use because Aeon stopped right before her, the smirk still on his face.

“Try to stop me.. I told you . You are mine” He

said and without warning, grabbed her head and brought his face down to her lips.
