Chapter 21

  (Pretty Eyes)

  D’ Arcy’s POV

  I exhaled for the umpteen times as I watched the beautiful view of London from my balcony. Coming into the human world is one of the biggest risks I have ever taken. But I need to fulfill my father’s wish, whereas, the vampire kingdom is no longer safe for me. As long as I am a bastard, and Hunter becomes the king, then my life will be a living hell.

  I managed to rent an apartment, which is comfortably built in an estate. I love its calm environment, which is away from the lousy part of the city. I still don’t know my neighbors yet, and they don’t know me too. Gosh, how am I gonna live with humans, without them detecting any strange act from me. I was still lost in thought when the gate to the compound beside mine opened, as a car drove in.

  A young pretty girl stepped down the car, as a white little dog ran towards her. She bent down to pick it up, laughing heartedly as it licks her face.

  “Hey Goldie…ouch you stink…wanna have a bath” She asked, as the dog barked, wagging its tail.

  I smiled, seeing her happy moment with the dog, she seemed to like it so much. But one thing I also noticed about her is her eyes. She has a perfect set of green eyes, huhn weird. I haven’t seen anyone with such eyes before, but it suits her. Thanks to my vampire ability, I was able to hear all she said clearly, and have a clear eye to cite far objects.

  I was still caught in my ecstasy when the dog looked up to my balcony and barked ferociously. She looked up towards me, but too bad, I was already gone. I hid behind the walls away from her view.

  “What’s wrong Goldie, there is nothing there. Why is your mood suddenly changed?” She asked it, walking into the house, while the dog still struggled to bark

  Damn, that dog is a b!tch, it almost sold me out.

  Megan’s POV

  “It’s a good thing you got the book, you are welcome” Logan smiled, while I rolled my eyes. I need a bath right now, and he is making it worse by indirectly mocking my look.

  “I think the bathroom needs to give you an invitation” he smirked

  “Whatever” I stated, handing him the book. He felt the surface with his hands and sighed.

  “When you are done, hurry down here” he stated, and turned to leave. I sighed and walked back to the room I found myself earlier today. On the bed are new set of dresses, perfectly laid. I hurried into the bathroom, taking off the filthy clothes as I switched on the shower. I allowed the water hit my skin, exhaling softly as I felt its coldness.

  After refreshing, I changed into the new outfit, heading back to the living room. My stomach growled loudly as it became clear to me that I hadn’t eaten a thing for the past..oh gosh, three days. I mean, how did I manage to survive, because the Megan I know won’t go for a day without eating, damn.

  I stepped into the living room, and a delicious aroma hit my nose. Logan was busy setting the dining table as I walked closer.

  “I believe you would be starving by now. You can have this to kill the hunger” he stated. I drew out a chair and devoured the food, in a few minutes, I was done. The food tasted delicious, did he prepare it or perhaps order it? I shrugged

  Well, I will go for the latter. I was about to get up when I saw him standing in front of me.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  “Huhn…when did you get here” I asked, puzzled

  “Are you done?” He asked, ignoring my question

  “Yea..so…”

  “What?” he asked, as I frown

  “I’m done with your f**king mission, I got you the book, so can I get my face back” I seethed. He didn’t flinch a bit but only stared at me like I was speaking gibberish.

  “I didn’t put it on your face, you know the right person to ask” He muttered, turning to leave.

  “Hey wait, you can’t expect me to go meet him after what he did to me the other time. He looks like a demon..” I whispered the last part, but too bad, I think he heard me

  He turned to face me with a smirk.

  “I will advise you not to let him hear you say that. Walk down this passage to the third room, try to knock before entering, because I know that you don’t have a single manner” He rolled his eyes, as I glared hard at him. Who does he think he is to think of me that way..bastard. I sneered

  After he left, I braced myself to meet the devil, well, that’s the name I have for him now. The previous scene of him choking me is still clear in my memory. Though I couldn’t get to see his face properly that day, except his red eyes; and that was because I passed out.

  Getting to the door, I knocked as expected, and his voice ushered me in. He was shirtless, facing the window. I could see the book of Enchante placed on his study table, still glowing as always. I fidgeted with my finger and moved a step away from the door, while it shut itself. I don’t know why I feel this way around this guy. His aura is just so intimidating. I couldn’t even utter a word, and when he turned to look at me, I could hear my heartbeat banging hard against my chest.

  “What do you want?” he spoke up after a few seconds of silence.

  “I… humn…i...I think I’m done here, right” I muttered after developing the courage to do so. I could feel his eyes piercing holes in my body, but I just couldn’t help staring at the floor. This is not the former Megan who wouldn’t give a damn about looking at anyone in the eyes, but the guy is different.

  “So?” he asked; as I was forced to stare at him. He was wearing the mask again, I could only see the upper part of his face, but he still looked dangerously handsome. What does he mean by ‘so?’. Are these guys really serious about our deal?

  “I need to go back, we had a deal that if I get you the book you will take this thing off my face. I have done my part it’s left for you to do yours” I stated. He furrowed his brows.

  “Did I say that?” he asked, folding his arms. I tried hard not to be tempted by his physique, his abs, muscles, skin, hair, and gush…this guy is a demon in angel form.

  I frown, folding my fist.

  “Bu…but..you…i..”

  “Leave…” He stated, turning back towards the window

  “No…no..you can’t do this…you can’t…” I cried out

  “You should leave before I change my mind and make it worse” he simply stated, as I shed tears. I looked at the book on his table, with the mind of grabbing and running out with it, but damn, that’s a weird imagination, I can’t do that.

  I was still in thought when I everywhere started getting blurred. I could see him staring at me; my voice was no more. I felt a chilling breeze blow across my face as I shut it tight. The next place I will find myself was in my father’s compound. Did I just disappear or did he make it happen? I thought and stared around, still looking sad. My days with them have just been a waste, I didn’t get what I asked for. I will just go for the surgery.

  “Megan…..it’s Megan….” I heard Lottie’s voice as she ran towards me, but stopped with full force. I could see other workers coming around too. Some were really happy while some simply frown and went back.

  “My mistress….your….your…face” Lottie shuttered; her eyes popped out. I was forced to touch my face, but that wasn’t enough. I ran to my room, pushing anyone that came towards me, out of my way. I opened the door forcefully, and thank goodness, it wasn’t locked. My heart was heavily thumping as I walked towards the mirror. I couldn’t feel my voice at first, and when it came up, I let out a shrilling and frightening scream, as the mirror, got cracked.

  “Arhhhhhh……”
