Chapter Thirty Five

ANAKIN

If he doesn't get his hands off of what's mine I will make sure to cut open his spleen and feed it to his father's goats. The goats he received from the mortal world as a gift. He likes to play god over there, they have no idea about any of us. It is rare for us to go there, but we used our resources when we could and the human ordinarys are such simple creatures. Throw a little fire around and suddenly they're praising you.

The jealousy and rage that clenches at my heart is all encompassing. He is touching my mate and I have to act like I'm okay with it. He also can't seem to keep his mouth shut and is such a flirt. It is obvious Nerissa is distant with me because I am not as nice as Knoxx, but she can be frustrating. Calling me cruel? I hadn't met to lash out but I couldn't help it. As much as she learned, she still didn't understand and I need her to understand.

If she is as powerful as Kazia warned me of, she needs to know who's side she is on. I know Knoxx has put the pieces together on what exactly is happening here, that she is the high angel that we were promised would save us all. He also knows that she can't know it yet, she's not strong enough, not yet.

He is kind, I can't deny that and it is so hard to be cruel to her. I get it. He's doing what I wish I could, which is to keep her distracted and not tell her how powerful she is. I just want her in my arms.

Within time, it will happen. I just need things to work out in my favor and make sure she gets the protection she needs for the rest of the night. So, pretending to hate her will have to do. I can feel the effect it had, but her safety comes first.

I do not care who will take her back because, at the end of the day, it will be my arms around her. My ring on her finger. My name with hers.

I will make sure of it.
