She bounces her blossoms to approach me, eager to take the cup from my hands.
Her eyes fixated on Xavier all this time.
As soon as she holds the cup plate, I retreat.
And the next thing I know the cup topples over to fall.
I extend my hand to grab it when my fingers brush its brim and the next thing I know I feel a searing pain hit my palms, I pull back and the cup lands on the floor with a crack.
Aghh ouch!”
Barely few splashes fall on her thighs and chest and she was crying like I have burned her.
I immediately move back, pressing my hands behind my back to gulp.
“What the fuck!”
Xavier pushes me back to approach her and I stare wide as he takes out a handkerchief and starts dabbing it on her skin.
Aggh Xavier… it hurts… ahhh.
”
Shhhh its gonna be fine…”

He turns around to look at me and I see pure fury burning in them.
His fists clench as he literally roars at me.
“I
What the fuck are you doing staring at our faces.
Go and fetch some ice! Make it fast!”
I jolt.
Hearing his tone, my fists clench and I feel my palms burn.
Is he blind?
They are just some splashes.
Can’t he see? Is he blind?
“It isn’t as it looks-”
“Just shut your pathetic mouth doll.
I will deal with you later.
Just do what I say for now.
”
He isn’t even letting me speak.
But then why do I expect anything from him.
Of course he will believe her over me.
I look at the woman and I could bet that I saw a smirk on her lips, ignoring it I just turn around from there to walk away.
I shouldn’t feel bad.

I have endured worse.
But still this feeling, this ache in my chest only worsens every time.
Stepping out of his room I look down at my own hands and I feel tears sting my eyes.
They were all red, blisters were forming and my fingers.
trembled.
Gulping, I approach the kitchen to see one of the maids busy washing the utensils.
I have seen her before, of all the maids here…she seem to be the only one bearable.
“Hey.

”
She snaps.
“What?”
“Umm Your Highness.

He asked you to bring some ice to his room.

her leave.
Making sure no one was around, I rush towards the sink, turn on the tap and place my burning hands under it.
I could finally breathe.
Dammit! It hurts so bad.
Cleaning my tears with my shirts shoulder I take deep breaths.
In out.
.
In out.
Xavier was mistaken if he thought I would tend to that bitch.
I am sure she left the cup plate deliberately.
I shouldn’t have tried to protect her, I should have let the hot tea burn her skin instead.
But again I wasn’t evil… and I couldn’t be even if I tried.
I don’t remember how long I continued to stand there staring at my red burned hands.
Whenever I pulled back, the sting returns.
It should have healed by now but it didn’t.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
And I wondered why…
It has never happened before.
I may not have extraordinary healing but it was never this slow,
I tried to calm myself, but that scene from earlier kept repeating in my mind.
The rage with which he looked at me, the acid in his voice.
His warning lingering in the air.

I don’t even want to know how he will punish me for this.
The walls of the kitchen were encroaching in one me and I do the only thing I do everytime I am anxious.
I run.
Out of the house towards the barn.
It may sound disgusting, but that animal smell in the barn calms me down.

I curse.
Holding in the pain when the next thing I know he licks my hands as if trying to heal them.
I smile.
Animals love is so pure and selfless.
Unlike us werewolves.
I kiss his mane and settled down beside him.
He joined me.
I continued to talk to him for what felt like hours.
To loose track of time.
Only when bolt fell asleep beside me that the realisation hit me like a truck.
Shit.
Getting up I rush back to the mansion.
Most of the lights were off and everyone was deep sleep.
Sneaking in through the back door I close the door softly, to tip toe towards Dom’s room.
Gosh.
I didn’t even tell him.
He must be so worried.
I had barely taken a step when a familiar voice speaks up from behind and I freeze.

My throat runs dry and my legs suddenly feel jelly.
I was scared of him but at the sane time I angry at him, I didn’t wanted to see his fucking handsome face.
He should go and fuck that whore he brought, why is here? Waiting to check if I had returned or not?

Not your concern.
”
Spitting out the words at him, I refuse to turn around and face him.
Rather I continue to walk.
But I had barely taken a few steps when a strong arm bands around my waist and the next thing I know my back is flushed flat against his front.
He dips his face in my neck.
And I gulp.
Trying to steady my racing heart.
Tak tsk doll.
It seems you have regrown that backbone I took so much pleasure in breaking.
”
He wraps his palms around my neck and I feel my breathing constrict.
Let’s see if you can regrow it this time…”
Before I could even understand what he meant, he presses a cloth on my lips and I feel darkness envelope me completely.

I just know.
Yet still, I couldn’t ignore that feeling of dread in my stomach.
