Chapter 254: ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMPT
Chapter 254 ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMPT
Their noses were almost touching when Aeon suddenly stopped, allowing his face hover above Haven’s. Her eyes were shut tightly and her lips were pursed in her silly attempt to stop him from doing whatever he intended.
Aeon had never seen Haven’s face this close before and now that he did, he couldn’t deny how beautiful this woman really was. Beauty was an understatement… she was more like a goddess of beauty.
From her brows, to the bridge of her nose and down to her chin, everything was perfect sculptured.. like some beautiful work of art. Her porcelain white skin was smooth and flawless and she had thick black lashes that rested beautifully on her eyelids.
Aeon knew all Guardian Angels were beautiful but this woman has got to be the most beautiful he’s seen so far. She was perfect and just unique. There was just something about her that intrigued whoever set his eyes on her.
“I’m sorry” Haven whispered feeling his hot blood stain her hands as she pulled back the knife she had driven into Aeon’s abdomen. Aeon let out a small groan and looked at her in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe she really stabbed him with the knife.
“I’m– I’m sorry..” The knife fell from Haven’s hands seeing more blood gush out from the wind in his stomach. She never intended to hurt him at all. She had warned him.. she did warn him several times but he didn’t listen to her, did he?
His actions forced her to react the way she did and Haven didn’t think she should feel sorry for it. Before Aeon could say another word, she dashed for the door again.
Unfortunately, Aeon was much faster even with the injury she inflicted on him. His hand clasped around her arm as she dashed passed him crushing all her hopes once more.
“No! No! Let me go! I said let me go!!” She hit his arms over and over as he dragged her back to the bed forcefully.
Another failed attempt to run away.
“No! No!!” She kept screaming. “Please, please let me go! Let me go!! Please!!” She cried, tears dribbling down her cheeks.
All of Haven’s pleas and screams fell on deaf ears. Aeon simply dragged her and threw her back on the bed before he scowled at her.
“You’re really unbelievable. How can a Guardian Angel do such a deed?” He asked surprised at her action. Guardian angels were weak creatures. They could never fight back talk more of attacking someone.
They could express dissatisfaction but they never did so openly and even when they did, they were timid and never violent. He couldn’t understand why Haven’s case was so different.
“I told you, I am not a Guardian Angel for Goddess’ sake! There must have been a mistake somewhere.. i– I really do not belong here! Why doesn’t anyone want to believe me?” Haven cried desperately.
“Impossible” Aeon shook his head “The Guardian Angels have never failed to identify their kind. If they say you’re one of them, then you’re really one of them. They couldn’t have made a mistake.”
“But I am not! I really am not!!” Haven felt like tearing her hair off. She pulled at her hair as she cried hysterically but Aeon just stood there watching the scene in amusement.
She just kept intriguing him with each passing second.
He left her and walked to another part of the room to get the first aid box before sitting down to dress his wound. The door was locked already and the keys was in his pocket so she was foolish to even think to escape earlier.
Taking off his shirt, he cleaned the cut with some cotton wool before applying some ointment. The wound wasn’t really and deep one and had slowly started to heal itself.
Yes, Shadow Guards had healing abilities too but it was much more slower compared to the werewolves. It could take days or even weeks to heal unlike the werewolves whose healing duration depended on the severity of the wound.
A minor wound could heal in less than a day.
By the time Aeon was done, Haven’s cries had quieted down to sobs. She had worn herself out and just sat there, hugging her knees.
Aeon sighed and went to stand besides the bed.
“Haven?” He called but she didn’t reply.
“Won’t you talk to me?” He asked but she didn’t look up at him or even bother to reply. Aeon sighed and sat besides her.
“I’m sorry” He apologized not knowing what to say “Just talk to me okay? I don’t like seeing you like this”
Haven still didn’t reply or look up at him as he talked. Her face was buried in her knees but she the sobbing sounds had stopped now. Now, that was a good thing.
Aeon sighed again. She wasn’t ready to listen so how was he supposed to pacify her? No one told Aeon being with a woman was this hard.
What was he supposed to do now?
“Okay, fine. I’ll do as you say, I won’t come near you again” He said and saw her move a little. Well at least that was able to get through to her.
Haven’s head looked up and Aeon felt bad seeing her eyes had gone all red and swollen from the crying.
“You w– won’t? Promise?” She sniffed.
“Yes I will not” He answered “Not without your permission”
‘You wont even get my permission' Haven wanted to say but decided it was best to keep her mouth shut at the moment.
“Fine then, I’ll take your word for it” She said quietly and prayed it was true. At least, she would be safe for now. All she’ll need to worry about was how to run away from here.
Her eyes fell on the wound on his chest. She didn’t even realize he was shirtless all this while. And well, Haven didn’t want to admit it but Aeon had one hell of a body. Well worked out with bulging muscles.
It was a sight to behold.
“Does it hurt?” She couldn’t help but ask
He looked down at the wound “Not really. I’ve gotten cuts far worse than this, trust me” He smirked at her for the first time and Haven smiled back.
“But don’t worry, it’ll heal soon” He said before standing and walking away.
“Thank you” Haven smiled when he brought back a glass of water for her after putting on his shirt back.
“So tell me,” He started again after sitting down besides her.
“Tell you what?” Haven asked and started to gulp down her wate
r. What Aeon said next almost made her choke.
“Why you don’t want to have sex with me?”
