This chapter has 5k+ words so if anyone says anything about the length or update I'm gonna seriously leave wattpad 😒

It has many povs changing after a point so read carefully. Check who's pov it is to avoid further confusion.

And most importantly after this chapter tell me everyone if you still think this book is boring or not.

Anya's pov 

I opened my eyes in a dark room and oh god my head hurts. Why is my head aching so much? I tried to sit up but felt something was restricting me from doing so. Wait, I don't remember sleeping in my room? I don't like darkness either, so where am I? 

I moved a bit more and felt someone hugging me more tightly. What the fuck? 

I looked to my side and saw Caliban who is sleeping literally above me. He left the windows open by mistake maybe and the moon light from outside is making the room a bit lighter. He is looking like a baby, an innocent one. With no hatred, no malice, no cunningness, nothing. He is looking so cute if someone sees him now they will definitely mistake him as something he definitely isn't. 

I couldn't stop myself from feeling the deep connection which I have tried to deny over the month. It feels like I have known him for so much time and our connection is something nothing can explain. 

While admiring him I just remembered what happened before. My dad is in jail. I went to college then Elijah came and Caliban offered me to be his and I fell down. I touched my head and felt a bandage covering my forehead. It explains why my head is aching. I hit myself really hard. I guess that's why I was knocked out for a long time. Why did he bring me here to his home? 

It's his bedroom. He let me stay here? Why? 

Very slowly I pushed him away from me and got up from the bed. It felt like I won a war moving him is so tough. 

I looked at the room as much as the moonlight allowed me to. I checked the wall where he had our pictures. It's all empty now. I don't know why I felt pain in my heart. This shouldn't affect me right? There are more horrible things taking place in my life. I can't be hurt by these small things. 

I need to get out of here before he wakes up. I need to check on dad. Mom must be tensed about me. Where is my phone? Damn it! 

"What are you doing in my room like a thief may I know?" I heard his voice 

Here we go! He is up as well now, I can leave easily. 

"First of all I didn't come here on my own. I am trying to find my phone in this darkness because I need to leave. My dad is in jail thanks to you. I need to check my mom as well. I don't even know what time it is now." I told him without turning towards him 

"It's 3 am in the night, Rose. Sleep, you're not going anywhere at this hour. You were out for the whole day as you hit your head pretty hard. Your blood pressure was dangerously low so I had to bring you here with me. I know you would have been happy if it was Elijah's bed not mine and if it was Elijah sleeping beside you not me but I can't let that happen." He said and I turned to look at him finally 

His words touch a part it shouldn't have. He is questioning my character and loyalty. I won't tolerate it. 

"Didn't you do the same thing to him, Anya?" Samantha asked said in my head and I was quiet because I actually don't have anything to say in its answer 

When I looked at Caliban I was scared for a moment. Because he was looking completely different! His appearance was demonic and not humanely at all. He looked like a Demon prince to me, some royalty who doesn't belong to the human world.
