Chapter 72
Fenrir POV.
When we reached the hospital, I ran without waiting to hear what Romeo had to say to me. While running, I thought about what would happen if the assailant catch up to Lorena. would she die just like Danielle or survived? I had to make sure that she didn't die because of me.
"I feel like spilling a lot of blood" Draca whispered in my head.
when I reached the hallways where lorena was, I could unusually hear her heartbeat beating, I knew that something had happened. when I reached the front of the door, I kicked it up and was meant with darkness. I moved into the room and placed my hand on the walls. it found the switch and in a blink of an eye, I turned on the light I saw red when I looked to my right and saw the attacker holding lorena down. when he noticed that I was in the room with him, he didn’t turn but run and jumped through the window before I could reach them. "bastard," I tried to move closer to the window but Lorena grabbed my hand.
"Fenrir!" she said and burst into tears. "He attacked me and tried to kill me," she cried as she hugged me tighter. "i...." she stuttered.
"you are going to be fine," I assured her. "Everything is going to be fine."
she nodded in response but didn't let go of me. The door leading into the room burst open and Romeo entered. "your highness he cleared his throat as he walked towards us. "I saw a shadow running out of the hospital and I am here to announce to you that I have found the assailant. should I bring him here?"
"no" Lorena screamed shaking like a leaf in my arms. "I don't want you to see him," she cried. "he ....” she buried her face in my chest as she wept bitterly.
"There is no need to bring him here. as you can see, lorena seemed to be traumatized by what is going on at the moment. I shall come when lorena had finally calmed down," I told him and he nodded in response.
"I shall take my leave," I heard him walk out of f t odoorim.
"Are you okay now?" I asked lorena but she shook her head in response. "Are you going to be able to walk huh?" there goes another shaking of the d a deep sigh and carried her into my arms from the ground. I slowly walked towards the bed and lai her on top removed her arms around her neck and tried to tuck her in, but o don'ttte me,” she said. "I need you and I also want you,” she sniffled.
is that an invitation?” draca was quick to ask as he burst into laughter. “I am ready for any means of enjoyment and I must say that I am willing to £**k her if she wants," he laughed.
Iignored him and sat on the bed even though my body was too small for the tiny bed. I placed her head on my lap and rubbed her hair gently. "I am here with you and I can assure you that everything is going to be fine as long as I am here with you. no one would be able to hurt you ever again,” I promised her and that was the truth. I blamed myself for everything. if had chosen her as the noble consort then she could have been killed by those who wanted her dead and if I had not done that, then the assailant wouldn't have revealed herself. it was a win-win situation.
"I thought that I was going to die and not say this because, to be honest, I have been wanting to say this for a long time,” she raised her head and stared into my eyes. "although I hated you at first for being responsible for the downfall of the werewolves with time, I came to realize that you are not what people say you are,” she sniffled and reached both her hands to touch me on the face. placing both her hands on my cheeks, she leaned closer and heaved a deep sigh. "I know that I might sound petty considering that this place is a hospital but Fenrir, I care for you because I wanted to kill you when I first laid my eyes on you. I must say that love does happen unquestionably,” she paused and leaned closer until I could feel her breath on my lips. "I am saying that I love you Fenrir," she confessed.
thump, thump, thump. That was how my heart goes at her confession. I didn't know how I should react because she caught me unnoticed. those words were what I expected not to hear in years to come. how could she have confessed to loving me when I believed that I was a stone-hearted man? I suddenly felt tingles all over my body and it made me wonder if I was starting to like her just as the demon had said.
"who said that they are never going to fall in love again huh?" Draca made a mockery of me. “I knew that you also felt something for her but you are too adamant to admit to it," he tutted. "it's so crazy to know that you are acting this way over human who should serve as my energy source.”
"Don’t call her that,” the monster shouted at him. "you may not know this but werewolves tend to fall in love at some point” "Iam not in love!” I looked at them. there was no way that I could have fallen in love because I believed that I am a stonehearted man who would never fall in love with anyone until the day that I die.
But, lorena came and she changed everything. she made me believe that I could rewrite my own story. she made me believe that I could be better than what others thought of me and that was the truth. I hated that feeling because it makes me feel weak. "I shouldn't be doing this,” I jumped to my feet and walked towards the entrance, just as I was about to open the door Lorena’s voice sounded.
"Are you doing this because you don't like me?" she asked. "I know that....."
"Pk this," I shouted and turned back to face her. in the blink of an eye, I was standing in front of her with my hands behind her ears. "f**k this," I repeated and captured her lips.
