Chapter 375: Kidnapped {2}
"Countess..." he smoothly spoke and his voice was just as deep as I remembered, enough to jostle my entire body. It’s not fair I get to feel this way... all these past feelings getting caught up to me... I don’t want it, I don’t deserve it.
You should have stayed away Dace... it would have been better for the both of us. I’m now the very creature you despise with every fiber of your being and seek to destroy.
"You kidnapped me," I said, masking any emotion in my voice and keeping my hard gaze on him. I was trained to keep my emotions in check, I was trained to be the very creature I am today... Let’s see if those merits will finally earn their importance.
He smirked, an action that deliciously spread his lips, but it wasn’t heartfelt like I remember... it was mocking and twisted, it caused a strong chill to invade my body. I have heard rumors for years spreading like wildfire... even when I was out of the country during my stay in Italy for the past five years, about the dark Alpha that hunts vampires like an insane man and how he tortures and bleeds them dry, ruling with iron fists and yet a prosperous leader to his Pride, it was only his enemies that has to fear his wrath.
Sick, twisted, dangerous, insane... those were the words used to describe Dace Devereaux. At first, I didn’t want to believe the rumors, I didn’t want to believe that Dace had lost his humanity that far and there was at least a shred of something keeping him going.
Call it wishful thinking...
I see everything I don’t want to believe in the past five years, I see everything in his piercing gaze, just how far he has lost the shred of humanity he holds.
He brought a cigarette he held between his fingers to his lips and took a drag. My eyes lingered on it, observing the angry red bottom and the rings that graced his fingers.
"Relax Countess... you’re not my prisoner"
I almost huffed, the situation that transpired has everything to do with that "Says the man who kidnapped me" I tried to move but I couldn’t, everything feels murky but I was glad I could collect my thoughts now. I need my sanity right now more than ever.
"Easy... You don’t want to strain yourself"
