[COMPLETED]✔
Book 4 of The Deliverance Series
Cormac smirks and replies, "Clever man...writing our worlds while hiding his daughters away."
"My dad is my dad, you make absolutely no sense!" I'm quick to snap at him, frustrated by everything he's been claiming as the time he's spent here helping me with school alters his thoughts about me.
Cormac chuckles while sighing, "No, nothing around you is what it seems, a clever way to keep you safe until you were ready to-" he cuts himself short as I can hear Edith banging on the door, crying for me. When his eyes glance back to capture my own, he tells me very carefully, "You've read it all...we weren't prepared for him and that's why your parents created all of this to keep you and your sister safe until...now."
"I...I need to take my medication," when I go to move away, I feel the air shift around me, Cormac now standing before me.
"No, you don't," he observes me with fascination, "there's nothing wrong with you."
"But I see and do-"
Cormac cuts me off when he gently chuckles, "There's much more you'll come to understand," he glances to the books and then nods, "be careful what you wish for..."
"I just want this to all stop," I'm shaking my head profusely, not truly understanding everything he says. It doesn't make sense...
...it's words spun of a fairytale
He's calm as I stare at him hard, asking, "What about Edith?"
"She will be safe here, that I can assure you as your mother left nothing to chance," Cormac reassures me and at this very moment, everything around me seems to be flickering in and out of existence, especially when we both turn toward the books.
"I'm scared," my voice is so weak and hardly above a whisper while Cormac picks up Code of Conduct.
Cormac turns to me while holding the book in his hands. As he slowly extends it toward me, he arches a brow and asks, "Are you ready to tempt fate, little sparrow?"

I'm gasping for air trying to breathe. Which is hard when I have Dimitri's abnormally large hand around my throat and his eyes are glowing purple and his fangs have came out. I am on the verge of fucking passing out with tears welling up in my eyes. All this happened because Aphrodite told me to come in this forbidden room to get a formal dress and whatever jewelry I shall need for the ball that is coming up. I had ran my hands over all the gorgeous gowns in this room before deciding on a red chiffon cinderella ball gown that had this gorgeous sweetheart neckline. I tried to find the jewelry she had mentioned when I spotted a small wooden jewelry box with their family crest on it. I had opened the box to find 4 rings. Two larger ones and two smaller ones. All four had their family crest on it with a ruby in the center of the rings. Dimitri had walked by the opened door and saw me looking in the box. And this is how I have ended up with his hand tight around my throat.
Slam
"I told you never to come in this room!" Dimitri roared. His hand is slowly tightening around my throat. It's getting harder to try to get out of his hold.
"I.." He interrupted me.
"You what!?" He yells.
"Can't." I couldn't finish my sentence.
"I can't hear you!" He growls low and dangerous.
"Breathe!" I struggle to get out.
Slam!!
My skull echoed throughout the room for the 4th time. My head has bounced off the wall. Oxygen is slowly leaving my body and I can barely hold on. I'm going to die in his hand if he doesn't move it. My tears are now falling down my face and hitting the floor by my bare feet.
"If I ever see you in here again I will..."
He never got to finish his sentence because Orion has tackled his brother off me.
"What the hell Dim! You could have killed her. She's fucking human you idiot, you cannot go Hulk on her. You will kill her!" Orion yells as loud as he possibly could. I swear my eardrums will pop.
"..... Mate."
