CHAPTER 16


HAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW


"You seemed to have so much fun with Racie the whole day," Hadron said with a soft tone and a soft gaze at me. I smiled and nodded.


I am now seated on his lap. Yes, on his lap. He's sitting on the couch, leaning to the seat while I am sitting sideways on his lap. I am leaning on his chest too and I came to love the sound of hearing how his heart beats. It feels like I'm listening to an addictive music. A lullaby that makes me sleep as minutes goes by. I don't even know if I can be able to removes my ears on his chest. I just wanna stay here. I badly want to.


He doesn't want to let go of me since he arrived. He even made his dinner to be delivered here inside the room. I don't know what got into him and he suddenly turned into a super clingy man.


I mean, I'm not complaining though.


I pouted at that thought. I like being this close with him too so I think that's...fair enough for the both of us.


He caressed my long waivy black hair, planting feathery kisses on it at the same time. It made me smile in contentment as I cuddled closer to his chest. I closed my eyes, smelling his scent.


As time goes by, I really do think that I am slowly getting addicted with his scent. I don't know if it's just me...or does all mates feels the same way. I don't know. But there's one thing that's for sure. I will do anything to keep this relationship intact. I am now willing to risk and trust this man. No. Even if I don't say it. I know to myself that I already did. I already trust him with all my heart.


And the feelings? Oh well. It comes out naturally because we're made for each other. That's what mates are. And even if we're not mates, if ever we'll met in the same circumstances, I do think that I will still fall in love with him...if and if he'll treat me the same way that he is treating me right now.


"Baby," He whispered huskily.


"Hmm?" I answered without looking at him. I was too busy on drawing different patterns on his chest. I noticed that the three buttons of his white longsleeves were open, revealing his hairy and muscular chest. I actually noticed it the first thing when he came inside the room. I just...refused to acknowledge it. I mean, I don't seriously want to look like a big pervert in front of him. Not now. Not ever.


"You know my reputation, right? If you don't, then I will tell you now, honestly. I want you to know all of me. I want you to know how I rule my Pack, my people. I know that you'd probably be uncomfortable with some things but there's no stopping now. I don't want you to know who am I from anyone else. I want it all to come from me. The revealing of informations about me should only be done by me. After all, I know myself better than anyone else. Right, my love?"


I gulped. I slowly nodded in understanding. I know for sure that I have a soft smile in my lips right now even though I can't see it.


I appreciate the fact that he's more than willing to spill facts about him. I want...to get to know him better. So when everything's going to be slightly bad, I would know how to handle him in the future.


Although there is a slight fear inside me and I know that, that can't be helped. I am slightly afraid what are his ways might be. But like him, I will be more than willing to open up myself too just like what he is doing right now.


No secrets. Just the truths and trust. No more lies, no more hiding. That's the only way for us to have a more peaceful living...hopefully.


"I am really bad, baby. Extremely bad to those people who'll wrong me and my Pack. I will never show any mercy to anyone who'll betray me. Yes. It's true that I also kill mercilessly and ruthlessly. I was known for that and I will never deny such thing. I can be the baddest King alive, baby. So tell me, do you still want to cuddle with me, touch me, kiss me...or even make love with me?" I was left dumbfounded with what he said. Not because of the fact that he kills mercilessly and ruthlessly, but because of the fact that he just said something about making love when in fact, we havent done such thing yet!


I groaned softly as I hid my face on his chest. I don't want to show to him how red my face is right now! That would be more embarassing! Why would he even say that, anyway?! That's too much!



"Baby?"


I pouted and buried my face more on his chest.


"Love?"


He groaned when I didn't answer. He tried to make me face him, I refused but I know that he already had a glimpse of it. Damn it!


"Baby," He laughed. "Why is your face so red?"


Oh, damn him! Why do he have to point that out?!


Thank heavens the head chef arrived together with the other maids. I was so happy deep inside after seeing the maids and the head chef wearing a gentle smile now unlike before when they came inside here. I still remember that day. That day when I wasn't able to stop myself from answering their King back in front of them. That was epic. I just knew that it was one of Hadron's horrible joke for me again. I knew that. He likes to tease me and even made up a rule that's never written to make fun of me.



While Hadron was eating on the table, I stayed on the bed. I was leaning on the headboard while reading the book that I haven't finished reading yet. I've been busy for days and I only get to read a little pages so I wasn't able to finish it on my expected day but its alright. I know that I can finish that still, regardless of how many pages will I read everyday.


I fell asleep while holding the book. I wasn't fully aware that I was already falling asleep. The last thing that I remembered was a soft thing crashing unto my lips. I wanted so bad to pretend that I didn't know what it was when in fact, I've known better.


It was his lips.




"Chase her and kill her! Don't ever let her escape!"


I gasped a loud breath as I ran faster than I can. They were chasing me and I have to leave this place as soon as possible!


They want me! They want to kill me and I don't want to die without putting up a fight! I've grown stonger now, I just have to be brave. Brave enough 'till Hadron can find me! He will find me, I know that. I trust him. I trust him.


But will he be able to find me, really? Those monsters were keeping me in the dungeon for days! And if I haven't tried to escape right now, I would probably be locked up in there for a month or so and I don't want that to happen! I want to make a move. I have to.


The forest is so dark and if it wasn't for the moon, shining brightly from above, I would have been trapped inside those monster's dungeon again.


I cried in pain when I tripped on a huge root of the tree but instead of sitting there to let the pain pass, I stood and run again, enduring the pain on my left foot.


I couldn't even cry because of too much pain. I've been doing that for days already when I was still inside the dungeon and I couldn't waste anymore time just crying.


I groaned as I ran faster.


Please, please, Moon Goddess... Let me escape...please.


"She's right there! Get her!"


The last time that I remembered was being struck by an arrow from my back. I was too hurt to even move so I stood still with my eyes wide.



"Baby! Wake up, my love!"


Why was I...hearing Hadron's voice?! And why was he so angry? What happened to him?


"Zero! I need the fvcking pack doctor! Right now! Hurry! Cerise Haven is not fvcking waking up!"


Wake up? Why? I am awake! My eyes are opened. What happened to him? Why can't he see my eyes wide awake?


"She's just freaking moving! She was crying and sweating and was moving continuously. I'm fvcking worried. Please bring Kaizer and Sera here. Hurry!"
