Chapter 11 11
She held her hands to her chest, breathing a sigh of relief. The chains on her wrists made a resonant rustle that brought her back to her bitter reality. Only then did she see the reality of the place around her. She raised her head towards the sky and prayed to the Creator, saying:
"It's a fact, a reality, and not a dream, a fact that turned my life upside down, ripped me out of my humanity, and threw me between the horns of Satan."
I fell to the ground, gasping and crying bitterly and sadly.
Kaiden stood behind the dark glass against the harmful rays of the sun, watching her overwhelmed with joy, thinking that she had been dreaming of the events she had experienced in the past period, only to come back and crouch on the ground crying bitterly and broken when she realized the truth of what was happening to her.
They were traced back as soon as they heard of a hostage of the Serena that they found hovering in her city, and after harsh torture, he confessed to them that they had found their queen that would lead them to victory against the vampires.
The enmity between the Vampire and Serran families has been around since the beginning of the formation.
Sirens are an amphibious family from the descendants of Satan, able to live in water and on land. They hunt ships, navigators, and every living creature that dares to penetrate the Bermuda Triangle until this geographical feature becomes for humans one of the most dangerous places, which is impossible to cross, where no ship, plane, or even submarine has crossed its borders and returned from it. Pushing the surrounding countries to issue a general and official law to stay away from him and his islands completely.
Since then, he and his ancestors have fallen upon him to hunt them down and try to eliminate them and prevent them from going outside the Bermuda Triangle in vain, until she appears, the flame of hope that they have been waiting for centuries gone by, they hear about in the legends that his mother used to tell him, the tale of the daughter of the sun, a woman born from the light of its rays, whose blood carries miracles, capable of burning entire cities, including them, leaving them to ashes. No one can confront them, and there is no weapon on the face of the earth capable of stopping them.
And here he stands in her presence, separated only by a fragile glass, bearing witness to her suffering, sorrows, and disappointments, making him feel sorry for her.
......
She turned off the tap, panting, gasping for breath, and spread her palm over her chest, trying to contain the panic attack she refused to let go, her thoughts on the recent events of her life, of Cayden, Damian, Larissa, and the rest, with the fact that soon she would turn into something horrible that might cause her to lose her life.
She sighed with sadness, exhaling the concern in her soul, trying to be in harmony with her new situation, placing her full confidence in Kaeden, hoping that this would give her the inner peace she needed to continue.
She came out of the bathroom with wet hair and glowing skin, cuddling her new pink robe around her body, and with small steps she approached Kayden, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Her head bowed, his back bent, as if he was carrying the whole world's concern on his shoulders. She approached him with hesitant steps, watching him anxiously. She stood in front of him, taking advantage of his sitting.
She hugged his cheek with her palm, shocked by its bitter cold.
"Are you okay?" she asked in a worried tone.
"We need to take off your handcuffs."
He answered her, avoiding answering her question, presenting her with two bracelets, and adding, "I brought you this instead of her."
She took them, turning them between her palms questioningly—two rings whose metal was similar to the metal of the handcuffs on her wrists, but they were closer to the bracelets than to the handcuffs.
He grabbed her palm with his cold fingertips, noticing their slight trembling, watching him undo the handcuffs and put the bracelets in their place.
"Why do I need it? Why is it important?" she asked, contemplating its fine details, engraved with strange symbols she had never seen before.
"It prevents you from using your powers."
"You mean these iron bracelets will stop my transformation?" I asked with childlike enthusiasm.
"No, it won't stop your transformation, but it will stop you from hurting anyone."
I stared at him dumbly. "I don't understand."
"You'll understand when the time comes; go to bed." He patted him, asking her to get up, adding, "We have a few hours left before the sun goes down."
She took off her robe, revealing floral pajamas made of the most luxurious types of silk. Finally, a batch of clothes whose designs were chosen through one of the most luxurious magazines arrived, and someone was appointed to buy them for her.
"Why don't you stop whining and sleep?" He answered her tightly, roaring at her in a mute tone.
She frowned, stretching her lips with childish anger, waiting for him to take a comfortable position, and crawled to him, trampling over him, as she had recently become afraid to close her eyes, as he was not close to her, feeling his warmth that gave her safety, and his breath and his heartbeat thundering in his chest gave her peace.
Cayden's body stiffened all at once the moment her mouthwatering scent streaked his nose, feeling a brutal thirst, holding his breath trying to contain his unbridled desire by piercing his fangs with her throbbing sweat, the sound of her heartbeat buzzing in his ears, echoing in his depths, ruthlessly provoking him.
He gritted his teeth, with a sound like the roar of a broken lion in deep pain that aroused Celine's attention. She raised her head from his chest and asked him, "Caiden, are you okay?"
His body stiffened as a result of her burning breath, feeling her ignite his veins. He's holding his breath, pleading for her to stay away, perhaps relieving the brutal conflict that is engulfing his depths, trying to resist the dryness of his throat and the fire spreading in his veins, cursing himself for his slip, as he should have gone to Larissa before returning to the ward.
