CHAPTER 9


HAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW


So it was his name. It probably is. I nodded to myself repeatedly as I continue to look at the sign.


I slightly frowned when I remembered that he didn't tell me his name afterall. He didn't even try to give me a tiny idea about it! He just left me and everything! Was it not too important, huh?


It was, of course! That brute just decided not to tell me anything, not even his name for civil reasons, at least! And it was even more unfair because he knows my name. He probably had me investigated from my first day here!


I shook my head and put it down back on the table as I turn towards the shelves of books. I picked one book, opened it and smelled its scent that continues to surprise me every damn time. For bookworms like me, just the scent of the book is heavenly already. It already sents me to different kinds of heaven.


I busied myself with books that day. There was a large sofa near the glasswall so I stayed there, enjoying the view as I drown myself with the knowledge of the book I was reading.


And maybe I drowned myself with the book I was reading too much that I didn't even realize that the sky is already turning dark and my stomach started to grumble, asking for some foods to eat.


I slowly closed the book after I remind myself where exactly did I stopped so I can read it later before going to bed.


When I got out from the library, the door of the bedroom also opened at the same time. Asmodeus Hadron stared at me. My eyes widened. I thought it was someone else when I saw his dark face, but when he recognized me, his face then softened as well as his eyes, his lips slightly parted while looking at me.



I pouted and bit my lower lip, already feeling guilty that I didn't do what he told me to. To rest and instead, I spent my whole time reading a romance book and be a hopeless romantic all over again.



"Baby,"



He closed the door completely and there, I was able to see how tired his face is. His hair is even messy like he just came from a very intense fight. And it even made me feel even guiltier.


"H—Hi...?" I asked hesitantly, slowly approaching him. He then held my hand as he immediately caged me into his tight embrace.


I was shock for a moment so I wasn't able to embrace him back but when I got used to his touch, I slowly brought my arms to his waist, hugging him too as I gently tapped his back for comfort.


"I was so tired..." He whispered beside my ears causing millions of tingles to explode in my stomach. "But it vanished when I saw you. You're probably my energy, baby. And I know I can't further go on for days nor hours without seeing or touching you."



I was flustered with what he said. His words makes me feel embarassed for some reason but I know that I am as red as tomato right now. There's still nothing that could stop me from blushing. He's way too much. His words are. It pleased me. All of me.



He was about to spesk again when he was suddenly interrupted by a growling sound.



We both looked down...to where my stomach is. I can feel my cheeks heated again. I silently hissed and pouted.


"You're hungry, huh?" He chuckled. "Do you want to come down to eat or you wanna—"


"I want to go down,"



He smiled before kissing my forehead. I closed my eyes, feeling it.


"Very well then,"






"How's your day, hmm? What book did you read inside the library?" He asked me as we were making our way downstairs. I smiled as I told him about the book I've read.


It always feels so good to be asked like this. Like how your day went, what did you do, and more things like that.


And I'm glad that he didn't ask me about why did I spent my whole day reading instead of resting just like what he told me to. I was nervous and kinda anxious that he might lash out to me for not following what he said, or for invading his personal space like that, which is his library, obviously.



"I'm not done reading it. I'm going to read it later before going to bed," I told him.



He caressed my waist lightly. Shivers and tingles immediately ran down to my spine. I wasn't scared or what, I just... It's actually normal for mates to feel this way. The men usually feels something more than what women feels to their mates. It's due to hormones.


"Okay. We'll both read it before going to bed later." He answered gently. Just thinking about him and I in one bed...


I pressed my eyes tightly before sighing.


I shouldn't think about it. No. We haven't know each other yet... But I don't know how long and far will I be able to stop myself from marking him. Once Heaven, my wolf, wakes up, it would be a lot harder to stop since our wolves are somewhat uncontrollable. They're too sensitive with our mates...and I'm afraid that one of these days...I might find myself pouncing at him.


The dining room was huge and it was packed with some people when we got inside. They immediately looked at me who was held by Asmodeus Hadron gently. Their eyes speaks with too much curiousity about who I am. I am unfamiliar to them, and so they are to my eyes.


"Good evening, King." A guy greeted gently and was being followed by the rest instantly. One woman offered me a smile so I slowly smiled back at her. Her eyes slightly widened and it even twinkled a bit for some reason.


"She's Cerine Haven and from now on, she's going to stay beside me so you all have to get used to that. I'm not going to spit out words about her, about what she is to me just yet since she's not ready for that. But I know that you already have an idea of who she is in my life, the day she was brought here unconscious. I want all of you to respect her because that's what she deserves after all. Respect her not because she's higher than you or because she's in some kind of a position. Respect her, because she is herself. Do you guys get me?"


My lips almost parted in shock as I heard his deep voice resonated the whole room. His voice is cold, stiff and is oozing with so much authority that I can't help but to slightly feel intimidated. But I know that he doesn't speak to me that way. He just don't.



"You can count on us, King. We will take care and protect her." The woman who smiled at me earlier said. My heart warmed at that. Everyone agreed even though some of them are still confused and curious.


I slowly looked up to him, only to find him staring at me. His eyes are now soft, unlike how he stared at the people awhile ago.


His lips tugged for a smirk. My eyes widened when he crouched down and kissed me fully on my lips. What's more embarassing is, my stomach grumbled at the same time. It was so loud that everyone thought it was a fart!
