Tainted || Choi Soobin✔

CHAPTER: 18

I wince in pain as I reach the stairs, my ankle was swollen and red already. I looked up at the flight of stairs I had to go. A hand suddenly slips under my knees and back. He lifted me up against the gravity.

With a scream, I was hanging in the hair my hands around Soobin's neck. I gaze at him with widen eyes and he starts climbing up, I kept on looking at him. Tears appear in my eyes as my view of him hazed.

"Please let me go," I croaked. The sobs began to leave my lips.
"What benefit you will have from keeping me here? We don't even know what I am?" I said sobbing, he kicked opened the door of my room and placed me on the top of the bed. He was going to turn around and leave.

I grabbed his hand, "SOOBIN ATLEAST GIVE A REACTION!" He stops and turns around and sits on the edge of bed next to me.
"What do I say? Your presence just gives me peace of mind, I cannot afford to let you go!"
I narrowed my eyes trying to understand what he meant? He leans forward hiding his face in the crook of my neck.
"I cannot let you go, I need you!" His breath beacme breathy and fluttered on my skin. I curled my hand.
"I can still come to meet you everyday, but please don't lock me up in a house," I whispered.
"Why should I trust you?" He asked even though his head was on my shoulder, I could feel his gaze piercing at me.
"Then what can I do to make you trust me?"
"Let me mark you," He said and a shiver ran down my spine hearing the word mark. My breathing instantly stagger. His lips traces my collarbone.
"NO WAY!" His lips curls up and he pulls away looked at me smirking. My heartbeat frantically as I begin to shrink away from him.

"How can you mark me? I'm not even your mate? What aboud your mate?" I yelled, placing my hand on my heart.
"I don't have a mate Narae!" He said patiently.
"H-how can you not I heard Moon Goddess gives all her worshipers a mate!" I stutter. He looks at me, I noticed his under eyes were red.
"I'm not her worshipper,"
My lips turn down in confusion, "B-but you're a werewolf right?"
"Yes, I'm but I'm a half demon and demon's do not worship gods!" He said cooly. A demon? What does that mean?
"How?"
"You ask too many questions." He said breathly and gets up from the bed.
"Anyways, think about what I said, that's the only way you can live freely," He said softly raising his eyebrows. My eyes never leaving his and his never leaving mine. They glowed like two red dots in the air. The same suffocating feeling surrounded me, overpowered me.

"Never!" I shake my head in denial, looked away. I held back my tears and he shurgs his shoulder and stands up walking out of my room. I bring my legs close to my chest, sinking my head in between my legs.

Another week passed, I kept being un my room thinking about a way to get out. It was of no use, nothing worked on him. I looked outside the window at the dark night sky just like my life. Sighing, My head was spinning I get out of my bed and walk towards the table on which water was kept.

Reaching there, I lift the jar of the table to pour the water but nothing came out except just a few drops pf water. A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned on the table eith my head sinking low. I push myself back, holding the jug.

Twisting the door knob, I once again find myself in a dark, creepy hallway. I hate this. I cussed in my head and silently closed the door behind me and begin to walk down the hallway. The dark way was giving me chills but there was something off about the place. I could feel it. Someone is behind me. This wasn't Soobin its not his scent. As if my survival instinct kicked in.

I turn around and saw a large dark figure in cloak and instantly smashed the jug on his head.
