Chapter 036

Adored me?

My heart dropped, crashed, got a hard painful pang, squeezed with guilt. There were too many emotions for me to process right then, but this emotion, this one took a toll over me. Guilt. Regret.

Doubt and fear had clouded my judgment, and I had betrayed Azriel without even giving him a chance to explain. I had let the no-caller-id man's words seep into my mind and poison my trust in the person who had been there for me. He was the safest and I knew that deep down in my heart and I had done this, got myself into this fucked up situation.

He laughed, looking at me with the same expression of sick fucking maniac.

Tears welled up, and they fell down.

"Not so fiery now, are you, Selene?" He smirked, unpleasantly.

"You are no fucking one to call me that." I spoke, my voice venomous.

"Oh, you back on the fiery facade?"

I head butted him, my own head throbbing, as he came closer to my face. "Stay away from me!"
