Chapter 256: THE MAN FROM HER NIGHTMARES

Chapter 256 THE MAN FROM HER NIGHTMARES

Haven paced around anxiously waiting for Aeon’s return. It has been hours since he’s left yet he hadn’t come back and it was already very late. Seeing how he had rushed off like that, Haven knew something big had definitely come up.

But what? What on earth was going on?

And his mention of Lucious earlier made her feel even more anxious. Was Lucious in this world too? Could it be that he came here looking for her?

The slamming of door downstairs made Haven stop pacing around and rush back to the bed. Aeon was back. She heard his footsteps as he approached and the creaking of the door as he stepped into the room.

Haven laid on the bed with eyes closed pretending to be asleep. But her anxiety was killing here she wanted to know what happened.

Footsteps approached the bed and she shut her eyes even tighter. Maybe she’ll leave her questions till the morning then?

Just when she was wondering what Aeon was up to, she felt herself being flipped over and pinned on the bed.

“Aeon? Wh– what are you doing?”

“What I should have done a long time ago.” He said and started dropping peppery kisses all over her neck.

Haven eyes were wide with horror “ Stop! Stop it, Aeon! What do you think you’re doing? Stop! Don’t touch me!”

But Aeon didn’t listen. He continued dropped more kisses on her neck and started to lick her nape. Haven gasped.

“Stop it!!!! What is wrong with you Aeon?!” She cried in alarm. The realization of what he wanted to do hit her.

How could he do this to her?

“You had promised.. you promised not to touch me without my permission”

“I’m sorry, Haven. I’m left with no choice” His bulky body had sandwiched her between himself and the bed so there was no escape now.

“Why? Please, please don’t do this. You had promised me, why do you want to go back on your words now?”

“More men are needed at the border. And I, I feel extremely useless right now. My people need me over there”

“Then go! You’re one of the strongest warriors over here , yo —”

“You don’t understand!” His yell cut her off. Haven could see the anxiety behind those black obsidian eyes as she stared into them.

“They need more men. Men who have bonded with their partners. The bond gives them more strength and makes them even more powerful. I might be strong but with you, I’ll be even stronger. Please don’t try to resist me anymore.” He said in a pleading voice.

“No,” Haven still refused “You can’t do this. I told you I belong to someone already! You can’t do this to me!!” Her struggle became annoying for Aeon and he grabbed her hands and pinned her down even more strongly.

“ENOUGH!” His outburst made Haven gasped. “ Enough of this nonsense, Haven!”

“I don’t care if you were with someone before . You belong to me now. You are mine!” His assault on her neck continued as one of his hands start to roam around her lower body.

Haven panicked and broke into a cry realizing she was completely helpless. She felt his hand snaked it’s way around her waist as he pulled her closer and then whispered something into her ears which made all the hairs on her body stand.

“Mine” His husky voice whispered in her ears.

For a second there, Haven felt herself pause. It was not like this was the first time Aeon was referring to her as his, but something about this reminded her of something. It felt so familiar.

“Mine…”His sucked on her neck “You are mine.” The way he said those words, his actions and touch felt extremely familiar. Haven was sure she’s been in this situation before. It was so real.

The nightmare!

Haven eyes widened in realization. The man from her nightmares... it was Aeon?!

Those nightmares she had been having in the past, always finding herself unable to move in a room with a man claiming her to be his. It had been Aeon all along?

Well, Haven didn’t have time to ponder over her realization because she felt Aeon’s hand brush over her chest causing her to yelp.

“Don’t do this! Don’t do this please” She cried seeing him about to capture her lips. Haven closed her eyes shut, crying as she resigned to her fate.

This was it. Everything was over.

But then the kiss never came. She opened her eyes slowly to see Aeon paused above her. His eyes were swimming with conflicting emotions and she could see the struggle in them.

“Damn it!” He finally said and backed away. He slammed his hands on the wall while Haven crept away.

“I’m– I’m sorry” He apologized running his hands through his hair. “ I don’t know what got into me. What’s going on at the border with those werewolves, I don’t know.. I just hate feeling this helpless. I’m really sorry—”

“Leave” Was all Haven said. Her body trembled with the thoughts of what would have happened if he didn’t stop then “Just leave Aeon.”

“Haven..” His eyes looked at her apologetically “I’m sorry please.. I.. I would never hurt you”

“I can’t trust you anymore” Haven refused to listen. She had already made that mistake once. “I beg you just go away—

The sound of a door broken door startled both of them.

“What? What’s going on?” Haven asked in alarm.

“Oh shit, they’re here” Aeon cursed.

“Who?” Haven looked at him but he was already stepping out.

“Stay in the room. Do not come out no matter what happens”

Footsteps were fast approaching their room and from the sounds of it, it was more than just a person or two. Aeon left the room and locked the door behind him while Haven sat there anxiously.

What was going on?

She heard Aeon’s voice and then a few other men. There was an argument.

“I told you I’ll bring her, there was no need to barge into my house like that”

“Well we don’t have time to sit around waiting for you, do we? We need to take the girl, now!” Another deep voice growled.

“T– Take?” Haven stuttered. Were they talking about her? Dread ran down her spines. Where did they want to take her now?

Haven heard someone try to open the door and then Aeon’s yell.

“I fucking told you I’ll bring her Rowley! Don’t you dare touch her!!” His voice sounded extremely possessive and scary. The men too must have been scared because she heard them yield.

“Fine then. The elders are waiting. Make sure you bring her” She heard the man say before the footsteps stormed away.

After everything became quiet once more , Aeon returned.

“Where are they taking me? What’s going on?” She asked. Aeon was already at the wardrobe searching for something.

“It’s about the werewolves demand for all Guardian angels. I think Katie told the elders you said you were Lucious’ mate. She thinks that’s the reason they made such a demand, because they were looking for you.”

“That’s crazy” He added bringing over a coat. “

Here, wear this. We’re leaving now”

“Where to?” Haven asked as he helped her up to wear the coat.

“You’ll see”
