Chapter 64

Jerome

I was shocked at how Erica was torturing the rogue. I knew that I shouldn't be feeling anything for the rogue, and that I should be happy for what he had done but I'm not. I'm not happy with everything going on. My eyes were contorted into a frown as I watched everything unfold.

I was glad and happy to know that Erica cares for me. She cares for me and I'm happy for that, and I will do everything in my power to make her happy. All I want is to always make her happy. I knew that she wouldn't have been this mad if it wasn't that the rogues attacked me.

I knew that there was something the rogues were hiding. How can a rogue be this strong headed when being tortured? I knew that the rogues were sent by someone but the loyalty of this man to the person responsible for this is something else. I knew for a fact that there is no way one would stay loyal to one's master until death unless there is something else involved.

I couldn't help but wonder if there is a blood covenant between the both of them but I knew that there is no such like since the person is an ordinary rogue. I knew that the person who sent them must have promised him something for him to stay loyal up till now. I stared at the face of the rogue whose face was filled with blood.

My eyes were filled with adoration aso stared at her. My eyes were on her as she tortured the man, my eyes were not leaving her body until I saw the impossible. The rogue who was been beaten on the floor hijacked Erica's torture knife, and he aimed it at Erica. I rushed toward her with fear, and I ended up getting stabbed instead of her.

I smiled at her as I stared at her. Tears were dripping down my face as I stared at Erica. She was shocked and was unable to comprehend what just happened and she was in a daze and stared at me with shock. She was confused about what just happened but there was nothing she could do again. She stared at me with her mouth wide . I was stabbed at my back, and I was hovering over Erica. She was staring at me with unknown emotions swerving in her body.

I turned to look in the direction of the rogue who had a satisfactory smirk on his face. I glared at the rogue with anger in my eyes. My eyes were filled with pain and all I could do was stare at the rogue. The rogue's eyes were not leaving mine, and he chuckled heartily.

"It is a great things I finish what I came here for, and I also have the chance to avenge the death of my fellow colleagues, don't worry I will meet you there but first go and wait for me" I heard him said and I sighed heavily while watching the man slit his throat with the knife which was in his hands.

"Jerome, are you alright?" I heard Erica's voice which snapped me out of my thoughts and there I stared at her.

She was close to tears, and I knew that it wouldn't be long before she would start crying. I felt my breath twitched with shock as I watched the tear which trying to hold in fall freely,

"It is okay, you don't have to worry. I'm glad you are okay," I mouthed to Erica and she shook her head sadly.

"No you shouldn't have taken the knife for me, it will be okay if I die, but I can't bear seeing you like this" she said and I smoler sadly as I used my hands to run her hair softly.

She had placed me on the ground floor, and she was hovering over me. She had tear stained eyes. She brought her lips close to mine, and we met. I savor the taste of her mouth, and all I want at that moment is to continue kissing her. She wanted to break off the kiss but I didn't let her. She carried me softly and she was about to walk away when I felt something different.

I couldn't feel the pains I was feeling earlier and I knew with no doubt that something different was going on in my body.

"Drop me, I will be fine," I said to Erica and she stared at me like I had grown two heads.

"No you won't, you need to be attended to" she said again and I sighed heavily before replying to her.

"I will be fine, you need to trust me" I said again but this time she stared at me for a while, and she dropped me gently on the ground. I groaned in pain as she carried me down. My eyes were filled with pain.

'You should know not to cause any trouble, I won't have helped you if not for the fact that you took the stab for our mate. You should be careful next time because I might not be there to take away your pain, I still haven't recovered fully from your last wound' I heard my wolf say and I smiled happily knowing that things would be different.

'Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help,' I said to my wolf.

I was happy that things turned out to be great. I knew for a fact that there is no way I would survive if Erica was the one who was stabbed. I knew that I would have survived it with or without my wolf's help, and same with Erica but I won't be able to forgive myself. I would hate myself for not being able to save her.

I knew that this wasn't something I should be happy about but I am happy for this. I'm glad that Erica was alright and that there is nothing wrong with neither of us. I'm glad that things turned out to be great. The wounds on my body were starting to heal, and I knew that it would be completely healed within minutes. I knew that I would have to rest a lot to be able to regain my strength. Mye eyes were closed.

"Jerome, are you alright?" I heard Erica's voice, and I was about to open my eyes when I suddenly felt her slap me.

My cheek stings from the slap and I suddenly thought of something. I smirked inwardly knowing that Erica would be shocked at the turn of things. I could feel something wet hit my face, and I couldn't help but feel a thug in my heart. I could feel myself wanting to hold her in my hands and console her but I tried hard to control myself.

"Jerome, no you can't do this" I heard her say and she turned my back to her.

I could hear her sniffling and not only that I could feel her tears hitting my back softly. I wasn't expecting her to cry like this, I have always heard lines that she cries but I haven't thought of something like this.

I was shocked to know that she was crying because she thought I was dead. I feel bad knowing that all this was an act. I wanted to laugh out loud at her hearing that she had been pranked but I knew not to do that. I feel like things will be different from now on. I knew that she cares about me alot.

"What?! Your wounds are healed," I heard her voice again in a croaky voice and I knew with no doubt that I had been caught.

"You have been putting up an act since," I heard her say and she started hitting my chest angrily and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She wasn't happy with the fact that I had lied to her and not only that, but I had seen her cry.
