Deceit

Bahm's Pov











"Shit! What have I done!"





I roared inside my bathroom. Still drugged off the ecstasy and blood.





How could I have allowed myself to kill every, single, member, of the council?

When did I let myself lose control like this?





I definitely couldn't tell kris about this ...
not after partially lying about why he needed to take Hunnie shopping!





"SHIT! Hunnie!!" I roared again banging on the shower wall with a few pieces of concrete falling at my feet.





I could hear them pulling into the garage.
I know he wouldn't expect me to be home right now , but I couldn't even hold up the wall to our connection anymore. It was wearing me out. He will slowly start to feel all my emotions again.





As for Hunnie, would she want to reject me because I killed all those wizards and witches? 





Would she be disgusted in me when she finds out I drained them all of blood?
Such a bad habit I do to magical creatures and most of them were quite magical.







"Oh gosh, what have I done?!"







Putting the shower on maximum hot, I stood there banging my head against the shower's stone wall. I could feel Kris's energy changing because of mine and I already knew he was going to freak out over my blood lust revenge.







 I was told not to go after them, and I did.







They were approaching the elevator together, giggling and casually flirting. Nothing was more important to me than seeing my mate become close with my Kris.





My other half.





Now here I go breaking bad news at such an innocent, precious moment they both shared. 







"Hey kris.." I said through our link.







"Hey! Finally!.. you okay?"

 

 

 

"No...um..." 

 

 

"You seem...you seem...what happened?" He shrieks, as he was becoming flooded with my emotions now.





"I...I've killed... the council members.."

 

 

"WHAT!" His voice yell out from the penthouse's front door. He was furious.





I was seated at the edge of my bed with my face in my palms and my towel draped around my waist.





"Bro What?" He says trying to catch his breath from running up the stairs.





"You said.. you said you killed the members ... the ones that escaped?!" He whispers, walking to the bed.





"Kris I know, I'm —"





"NO BAHM!" He shouted at me. "I can feel how magically high your body is! It's Filled with so much ESSENCE! 



YOU DRAINED THEM ALL!???" He roars.





I finally brought my head up and seen his torso in my view. Holding onto a few white shopping bags.





He was angry, and I didn't blame him. I could truly smell his blood boiling.





"Bahm this is serious! What about Hunnie?" He lowered his voice and dropped the bags.











All my long years of not commiting a slaughter...









"Kris..please listen." I begged him before Hunnie could come upstairs. "They. Took. My. Mate... tried to impregnate her. What was I suppose to do? Let them live?"





He began shaking his head at me and held onto his forehead. He was disappointed in me.







"S-So you telling me to take Hunnie shopping wasn't so she could travel and meet your mother?"







"Kris, she isn't safe here anymore. Her coven will start to look for her and I'll murder all—"





"For fucks sake Bahm! You planned it all out didn't you! You've been deceiving us!





"No Kris, I swear..I—"





"WHEN! When did you start?!" Kris bellowed, balling his fist.





"When did you decide to go after them? Even when I said not to! WHEN!" He roars, Hunnie now rushing up the stairs.





Some of those witches in The Council, she must've, or could've known any of them personally, and I never stopped to think about that.





I didn't think about how my mate would look at me after finding this out...





"Since the lakehouse...you guys stopped me and..." I looked at my doorway, Hunnie's innocent face peeking at us.





I shamefully lowered my head and adverted my gaze away from her.





I could feel my mate's presence hesitantly entering my room and passing by Kris. She sits on the bed next to me, curious. I couldn't feel more sorry and embarrassed at my actions than ever before.





"What's the matter...I've missed you." Her sweet and angelic voice purred on my shoulder.





I raised my head and looked over her features. She was stunning and everything I've ever wanted as a woman. I just hoped my monstrous ways wouldn't chase her away.





"Is everything alright?" Her voice croaks out and I grabbed her hands. Kissing them with remorse.





"He..uh...went after the council." Kris blurts out, rubbing his face.





"He killed them all Hunnie. I'm sorry."





The heat from her head resting on my shoulder disappears. My heart breaks into pieces when a sob gets stuck in her throat and she rips her hand out from mine.






She stands up quickly and scans over my face before taking a few steps backwards.







I didn't mean to hurt her again. I really didn't.





"Hunnie please." I say, getting up from the bed.





"No! No! No!" She bawls, taking steps away from me, terrified.





"Hunnie I'd never hurt you please—"





"THIS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING? KILLING PEOPLE!" She yells full on. Tears streaming down her pink, puffy, face as she tries to swipe the runaways.





Kris tried to come up and embrace her, but she shoves him away.





She tries running out the room door but he blocks her and she runs right into his arms instead.





"Please don't be mad at him Hunnie." He coos into her ears.





"He couldn't control it. You mean so much to him baby. Please understand.."







I watch him carefully caress her shaky head in his arms. I wish I was the one comforting her right now, but I know she won't let me touch her, and I won't force her to forgive me.







"Kris, my coven, their relatives... and parents.." she sobs as he shoots me another evil glare.







My mate was too caring and kind. I don't want to break her like this.







"I know sweetheart, I know. No one will hurt you, but we do have to leave the country." He says and she cries out even harder.







"Hunnie, we'll be safe in my kingdom.. I don't know what else I could do if anyone else comes looking for you. I—I am sorry." I finally say.







I was only being honest, because I can take down this whole country if I have to. If anyone ever tried to harm my mate, I'll lose it really this time.









Kris walks her out of my room and she doesn't even spare me a glance. 





I sat back down in my bed and listened to Kris try and soothe my broken mate.





She felt as though she couldn't trust me anymore, and I would do everything in my power to show her she can, that she'll always be safe with me.







He tells her we have to pack by tonight and catch a really late flight. It'll take us a whole day to get to my country, and another hour to get to my kingdom from the airport.







After they're done talking, Kris whisper for Hunnie to go upstairs and ask any questions that she has on her mind. She tells him no at first, but he persuades her it'll feel much more better if we can all understand me, and that at least I came clean about it. 





I walk to my closet and throw on my boxer briefs before Hunnie enters my room. I can hear her sniffling and her heart thumping away in her chest. It was very rapid and filled with fear and confusion.





"Hunnie please talk to me." I groan and sit on my closet bench.





"Bahm why? I mean...I know why..but why should I ever trust you? You can't just go out and kill people! You can't do whatever you'd like!"





"I know, and I am very sorry and embarrassed by my actions Hunnie. I tried so hard to control it when I brought you home, but then the Jahred thing happened...and I kind of lost control." I told her honestly.





I stood up from the bench with my eyes locked on her wet ones. She seemed scared still and it was breaking my heart truly. I loved this woman and I'll do anything for her.





"I need more self control when it comes to you. This is all new for me too, I've never had a mate in all the thousand years I've been alive, and I don't know how to react if you ever got hurt under my watch. I don't know how." 





"You talk about it Bahm, that's what you do. You ask questions and look for answers, not just react every time." I took a few slow steps towards her and watched her body for any indication of fear again.





"I swear I will always come to you with my problems Hunnie. I know I can trust you, but I need you to trust me too. I fucked up, but I'm not a monster...ok?"





She looks up at me and her body relaxes. I take the opportunity to approach her. Standing just a few inches away from her, I open my arms out and she melts right into my body.





How I need this woman. All of her, I can't let her go. I'll go anywhere for her.
