Chapter seven ▪

Btw, I used one of his photos and changed his eye color from blue to red so you could imagine it easier

" cannot leave my home." I said. As I thought about leaving, all those happy memories from Isaac and I flashed through my mind. I would never see him again if I left. If he ever came back, he wouldn't know where to find me.

"What?" His eyes darkened and smokes of red started swirling in them. The blue mixed with the red seemed almost purple but the red was quickly darkening and taking over.

"I-I, I simply can't... I'd never see him again, and I can't live without him. He is the only thing that has kept me alive through this horrible life of mine. If I left he'd never be able to find me, if he would even tr-"

"Who is 'he'?" He asked angrily. His eyes were blazing red, and I could tell Thanatos was close to takingover again.

"Isaac, my brother."

"Where is he?" He seemed to calm down.

"If only I knew. He left when..." Tears gathered in my eyes. I cannot tell him about my brother.

"What?"

"It doesn't matter. I am not leaving."

"Yes you are. End of discussion."

"What? I have my own free will. Being mated to you already takes almost all my freedom from me, you cannot take the rest away!"

We were still outside from when I dragged him out and I am still wearing his coat. His face displayed anger and the moonlight made him look scary, whereas it used to make him very attractive.

"Yes, I can, and yes, I will." He got closer to me but I backed away. I am now scared of him.

It's funny how your opinion on someone can change in the blink of an eye. You decide to forget all the rumors and warnings you have heard about them, but then it all backfires.

"Stay away from me. " I spoke as I backed up and put my hands in front of myself.

"You are mine, Dahlia, you always have been, since the day you were born." He came in front of me in the blink of an eye and spoke with his husky, dangerous voice. I recognised it as Thanatos. My heart was thumping so loudly, I could hear the blood rushing in my head through my ears.

"I will never be owned." I spoke to him with teary eyes.

"Yes, you will. If not gently, then by force." He smiled dangerously.

"Stop it. If you ever take me away, I will never forgive you."

"Sleep, angel. We will see each other once again." He whispered in my ear and a feeling of dizziness and pins and needles rushed over my whole body as I tried to fight to keep my eyes open.

"I hate you." I muttered sleepily as I fell limp in his arms.

"We'll see about that."

The King's P.O.V.

I was fighting a battle inside my head with my beast, Thanatos.

Do I take her or let her be for some time?

I have been without her for a very long time. I don't think Thanatos would ever let her live without him, now that he has found her.

As I thought about what to do with her, I swirled a strand of her hair as she sleept peacefully with her head on my lap. I called Hudson to tell me what her adress was, since the little kitten didn't want to tell me herself.

Peter Pan. Do I really look like a flying fairy child? I thought my presence and title would scare her, and not make her amused.

She is too pure for me. I cannot take her innoce away. Taking her away from her home would crush her. She wouldn't be the same, ever.

But I can't let her be alone in that filthy town.

'You wouldn't have to be afraid of something happening to her if you were to take her.' Thanatos spoke.

'She doesn't even know my name. Do you really wish to take away her innocence, that badly?' I spoke back to him.

'She won't stay innocent forever.' He spoke again.

'I will make sure that she does.'

'Her innocence may stay alive, but you know it will go away as soon as you grow feeling for each other. You think you will be able to resist her? As soon as you kiss her, you will feel the fire burning in your heart. You will see pictures of her and you, with children running around you. A few weeks after and our Heat will take over your whole body, and you won't be able to hold on for much longer. I will take her, and make her mine, while you won't be able to do anything about it.' He spoke.

'You almost cried when we thought she had already been happy with someone else. You will not be able to bear the pain of her hating you. ' I spoke to him, though I knew otherwise. 'If you even try touching her, I will lock us up again, and you and I will be suffering from pain, together.'

'You wouldn't dare.' He growled.

'For her, I'd do anything.'
