CHAPTER 43

“Daniella?” I called. She remained there, her head still buried on the floor. “Get up and talk toe right now, before I kick you on the behind!”

She immediately shot up, muttering her apologies. She was a dramatic one, I had to give her that, but her eyes darting all over the place in fear and her lips quivering, was sign enough that she wasn't acting up.

I took a step towards her, and she flinched, taking about three frightened steps backwards. My heart tore apart and I saw red. “Get out!” I hissed.

She remained rooted to the floor, obviously getting horrified at the redness of my eyes.

“Get out! Out!”

She raised our the room and I growled, throwing my glass at the wall and the whole liquid splattered all over.

I heaved, rubbing my hands down my face as I felt my demon relax. She had been over doing it these days, it felt like I no longer had any control over her and it made me feel scared and helpless. How would I be able to lead these people, if I scare them so much?

I got up, running up the stairs and into our bedroom. I ran into a naked Marcus, who had just stepped out of the bathroom and was clutching a large towel in his hands. “Baby, I'm dead!”

He studied me carefully, his hand that was drying up his hair halted the process. “What happened?” He asked, searching my eyes with curiosity etched on his face.

“I just met with a maid downstairs right?—”

He nodded.

“—then I had a confrontation with this maid and she seemed really scared of me. I kind of lost it and my demon might or might not have shown herself?”

“Damnation!” Marcus cursed, muttering some more curses under his breath. “Whatever were you thinking, Chloe? What is your problem?” He took a deep breath. “What do you want me to do now?”

My face paled, as I stared at him in disbelief. “Are you blaming me for this?!” I huffed, going to shove a finger in his chest. “This would not have gone viral, if you had protected me the way you ought to!”

“Oh, so you blame me now?!”

“Yes, I do!”

He shook his head, giving me an incredible look. “I can't do this right now, there is no way I would be doing this with you?!” He tried to walk around me, but I shoved him back with much force and he was uprooted due to the force and his back collided against the wall and he groaned painfully.

“Marcus!” I rushed towards him, my eyes wide with worry. I went to kneel beside him, taking his face in my palms. “Oh baby, I am so sorry! I... I did not mean to shove you so hard!”

He shoved my hands away when I tried to help him, getting off the ground himself. “Just be on your own and give me some breathing space, I do not understand what is becoming of you and I am not liking it one bit!”

My lips trembled violently and I started sniffing as tears started to form in my eyes. “I did not do it on purpose, I did not mean to hurt you!”

“But you did!” He yelled in my face, giving me a look that he had never given me before; a look of disappointment. My heart ripped into shreds, as his cold eyes gazed into my teary ones. “Maybe letting you go to that dratted cave was a mistake, this is not you Chloe, I do not know what is becoming of you!”

I spun around almost immediately, watching his naked back as he walked away from me and into the closet. I slammed a palm against my mouth, when the first sob choked at me and threatened to slip out. Back to square one all over, I felt alone all over again.

I went over to the bedside drawer, and took out my own key. Not bothering to have a shower first, I took off my boots, replacing them with my pink fur flip-flops and out I went. I started with a slow jog once I stepped out of the house, and soon I shifted into my little silver wolf and she leapt into the air for joy, racing into the woods.



How many hours had past? Twelve? Thirteen? I had lost count.

After leaving the house and letting my wolf sprint about for a while, I shifted back into my human form, going invisible as I gathered up my clothes and put them back on. I decided to use the trees, wanting to avoid as much drama as I could, giving that my last time in the woods had not turned out too nicely. I had already given away too much information, I did not want a situation where I would have to use anymore of my vampire abilities to protect myself. I had already angered Marcus enough, I wouldn't want to cause anymore problems for him.

I had gone straight to our cave house, letting myself in and making something to eat from the provisions we had reserved there last time. Then, I took some time to master my skills, practicing each of them on different objects, then I would clap excitedly at my progress.

After that, I fell asleep and just now I woke up to some noise coming from outside. I rolled my eyes, knowing that it was only Marcus who knew about this secret hideout of ours, maybe he had come to look for me?

My senses were still a little dull as I had just awoken but soon, I started to perceive something else and my heart started to race quickly. I pulled back the sheets, hurriedly getting out of bed and ran over to the window. What I saw made me stiff all over and my heart immediately dropped into my stomach…
