Hell Is An Open Door - Ohmtoonz

Chapter Seven: Defense

♢♡Ryan♡♢

I start shaking again as I hear Luke shuffling around, probably checking the bed. I hear the bathroom door opens and he spends a moment or two looking around in there. I hear Luke sigh through his nose and open the closet as I thank God for my tiny figure just this once. Luke's eyes flash red and I bite my tongue to stop from squeaking before Luke rights at me and smirks.

I swallow hard and press my back against the wall, shaking my head as I feel tears fill my eyes. "G-Go away! L..Leave me alone! I don't want you!" I scream, shuffling away from him. Luke rolls his eyes and sighs, sitting on the floor of the closet. He closes the door and his red eyes keep everything visable. He leans on the back wall on the other side of the shelf from me.

"I'm the king of the underworld, doing that is my job" Luke sighs, running a hand through his hair. I sniffle and rub my nose on my wrist. "I'm terribly sorry about last night" Luke adds, looking over at me, but I look away. "I understand that you do not like me, do not accept me as what I am, but I am your husband and you are my mate. There is no changing that now"

Luke stands up and brushes himself off, looking down at me. "I see you wish not to speak with me. I will leave you be for the day, but I will be seeing you later tonight. I promise not to do anything horrid" He sighs before leaving the room. I sniff and curl up tighter, putting my forehead on my knees as I shake a little.

I hear shouting down the hall and whimper, shaking my head as tears soak my jeans and the carpet. The bedroom door swings open and I flinch, panicking. Who is yelling? "You take the poor boy from his home and let him watch you murder someone?! Gods, Luke, he's a child!" The new person rants before opening the closet.

"Ryan darling, I'll be right with you. I'm Bryce by the way" He says softly, smiling at me before looking outside of the closet again. "Get going, you brute! I have to fix him before you wreck him even more then last night!" Bryce snaps before storming into the closet. "You can come out now, I've scared him off" He grins at me.

"W-Won't he h-hurt you?" I squeak, wiping my nose. Bryce scoffs and rolls his eyes. "Yeah, right. Get up and I can show you around" Bryce smiles at me, offering his hand. I squirm out from the wall and the shelf and take Bryce's hand even though I'm still shaking. "I'm so sorry you had to see all that. Next time Luke plays that stunt will cut off one of his horns, how does that sound?" Brycr smirks, winking at me.

I giggle a little and cover my mouth, nodding. "I'd like that very much"
