"Wait ! Please.. Hear me out at least once." , he said with a cracked voice.
I stopped walking away.
"Hear 'what' out exactly? I've had enough of this. " , as I said those words, I felt my legs giving out but I had to be strong .I had to do the right thing without looking back.
"Karen... Don't do this to me. "
That was the first time he begged that much and I can't blame him for that because he should be.He has to feel guilty .He has to feel the same pain he made me go through and even more. I can only blame him for shattering me , thinking only of himself. Pusillanimous. He dragged me to a hell ,mercilessly, full of starving and ravishing beasts and left me to twist in pain in my ocean of agony and despair.
He broke my heart.
A hand quickly pushed me against the wall. It was him. His breath , his eyes , his scent..Everything about him captivated me .
He kept staring at me with a hurt gaze and addressed me using an amused tone :
"Do I really have to put it into words for you to get it already, thickhead ? " , he chuckled softly.
I kept silent and my body got paralyzed as his arms kept me still, but this time it wasn't because of him; it was me. I gave in to him..Again.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
