You love his hickey?

"Let go of me, Asher." Seraphina screamed harder as he pushed her go the bed. She crawled back, shaking her head negatively.

"Even Lucian won't be able to come save you where you are now." Asher said as he went over to her in bed as she viciously trembled. "What's wrong? Reminded of the past?"

His last words came out mockingly as he grabbed her shirt, ripping it in half as he gazed at her perfect body. "Oh my goodness, I've forgotten how good you looked underneath those clothes. Even though I never tasted you, I will tonight." He smirked as he pinned her hands above her head, trapping her between his legs.

"Please, don't…" Seraphina pleaded as scenes of a teenage girl running on a silent road flashed across her mind. "Asher,,, please don't…"

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she remembered those men heading towards her, glaring at her like she was some food for pleasure. "You can remember it right?" His voice came out in a low chuckle. "I thought you said you got over it already."

Seraphina couldn't say a word and she just trembled as he kiss her her neck down to her shoulder. She didn't tremble in pleasure, it was all in fear. "Who ruined your perfect skin?" He asked, touching the gunshot mark on her skin.

"Please…" Seraphina pleaded as her sight started to blur, her chest rising and falling as she was having a panic attack. "Lucian…" She whispered and just then, a loud bang came from the door and a body came flying in.

"Get your hands off her." A chilly and dangerous voice came from the door. Asher's grip around her wrists loosened as he turned to look at Lucian.

"I was expecting you to show up. Always protective I see. But let me remind you, she belongs to me and has nothing to do with a heartless being like you." Asher said and before he could react, Lucian slammed him against the wall and Asher immediately shifted into his wolf form to give him an advantage of slipping out.

Lucian tried to grab him again but he jumped out of the window. "Angel." Lucian's voice echoed in her ears as she looked at him through her panicked state. "Please relax. I'm here now."

He pulled her closer to himself, running his fingers through her hair as he felt her slowly relax in his arms. "It's fine, I won't let him come near you again." Lucian said as he draped his jacket over her shoulders gently before lifting her in his arms to take her out of the house.

Gabriel was already waiting outside the house with Lucian's car waiting for them. "Do you have a death wish?" Lucian glared at Gabriel who shook his head negatively. "Then why the hell did you let her leave on her own?"

"My apologies, your highness. It's all my fault." Gabriel bowed his head but Lucian just ignored him and placed Seraphina well I'm the car before driving off at full speed.

Gabriel got into Esmeralda's car after checking to preventing being tracked and drove back to the mansion. Esmeralda was standing outside with Naomi as they all arrived.

Naomi followed Lucian in to take a look at Seraphina and that gave Gabriel the opportunity to speak to Esmeralda. "I won't take the blame for you next time. Stop acting immature." He said as he tossed the keys at her before walking into the house.

"What is wrong with you?" Esmeralda gritted her teeth in anger as she stormed back into the house.

Naomi examined Seraphina and checking she was okay, she let Lucian into the room. Seraphina was still shook and just covered her head in a blanket as she trembled. "I'm sorry I didn't get there in time." Lucian apologized but she shook her head negatively.

"Did he hurt you in any place?" Lucian said as he pulled the covers away from her head and he saw the hickey Asher had imprinted on her and his eyes darkened. Seraphina noticed his glance and hurriedly turned away not even realizing it was a hickey.

"He gave you a hickey." He said in his possessive tone. He took Seraphina's shoulders and lifted her up gently before he kissed her neck, trying hard to control his urge to bite her as he printed a hickey on the other side of her neck.

"What are you doing?" Seraphina asked, pushing him away. She touched her neck and looking at the other, he didn't know why jealousy rose from within him.

"You loved it and willingly let him give you a hickey but you're pushing me away." He said with a small scoff. "I'm sorry."

"Wait… I did not mean it like that." Seraphina hurriedly grabbed his hand before he could use that opportunity to isolate himself again. "Thank you for saving me."
