The moment I laid my eyes on him, there was only one thought in my head..
"Youâre dead.." yet before I could act on that violent thought..
Cara pulled me back, I turned, my blank gaze inquisitive..
She saw my expression that clearly asked "why?" And she shook her head softly, mouthing "let me handle it"..
I held her gaze for a long minute, before inevitably letting myself be pulled back..
She was my woman, not my property, if she wished to handle her problems, Iâll just let her, after all, I knew Cara and "weak" wasnât an adjective Iâd use to describe her.. EVER!
"Seems you made my man a bit upset, I wonder what youâre going to do now... fufufufu"...
Her beautiful laughter wasnât easing my irritation, not this time..
"Now, this is normally where I sit back and let D, handle the dirty work, since he likes bashing faces in, but, I believe I should be the one to handle it this time, after all" the moment she got here, all her teasing immediately vanished, a cold murderous aura drifting out of her body, I could see the air literally freezing solid as her eyes turned cold and lifeless, yes, that was my Cara in her murder mode..
"So fucking hot!!"
"After all, your little fantasies almost got D to hate me for good" she concluded what she had been saying...
The young man, Apollo, sheâd called him, the one whose deluded fantasies had made me feel betrayed by Cara, spared Cara a look, his gaze finally turning towards me..
"You must be Dante Draven, the little swine that dared crave after whatâs mine.." something about his arrogant voice and that condescending gaze made me want to tear his eyes out, yet before I could act on it once more...
Swooooshhhhh!!!!!!
A freezing ice lance had already manifested before the youth, mere inches from impaling his eyes before being turned to snowy ash..
"Hmm.. to use the resources I provided, awaken your bloodline fully, then turn against me, is this what the prestigious
Morningstar
bloodline teaches their descendants? Is this how you treat oneâs sincerity?" The young manâs attention returned to Cara, his voice like that of an elder chastising a child..
"Oho? Sincerity? Is that what weâre calling it now? Trying to force me into a sham marriage and expecting me to be grateful? Well then, why donât I show you just how grateful I am? I officially challenge you for your elite status" Cara smiled coldly as she regarded the young man with dead eyes..
The young man looked surprised, his indifferent facade finally cracking as what shouldâve been shock appeared on his face..
"You would dare challenge me?" His voice sounded skeptical, almost as if he couldnât believe Cara would dare challenge him..
"I think itâs time I knocked you off your high horse" she replied offhandedly..
"It seems a little power up has made you delusional, for you to actually believe you stand a chance against me" the young man returned to his indifferent expression soon enough..
"As for you.." he turned towards me once more, "once Iâm done embarrassing this filthy whore, Iâll make sure you explain properly how it is you can use the abilities of my bloodline, those arenât things a swine like you should stain". Okay, it was getting really, REALLY DIFFICULT to stay my hand out of respect for Cara..
This filthy mouthed arrogant prick had only ever spoken degrading words and if it were any other day, Iâd have already had his face planted beneath my boots, but, "donât worry D, Iâll make sure I wipe that smug look off his face, the more he postures now, the more satisfying itâll be when I put him down, you trust me donât you?" At Caraâs question, I merely wrapped my hands around her waist, pulling her body flush against mine, my eyes leaving the annoying face of the fool before me, as I placed a tender and loving kiss ontop of her head..
The temperature rose a few degrees, seemed that got the young man riled up, good..
"If I didnât trust you, my love, then this fool wouldâve already been put down like the mad dog that he was, wouldnât he?" I replied to her..
"Fufufu.. thank you my love" her coy reply made the temperature rise even further..
I looked up slowly, my eyes meeting those of the young man..
Golden eyes meeting Golden eyes..
The tension in the air was palpable..
The stare down lasted a few seconds before the young man turned around silently, his footsteps sounding out as he walked away..
No sooner had he walked away that another intruder graced my presence..
This one being the source of the second heavy killing intent Iâd felt earlier, the first needed no more mentions, it was obviously Apollo that had just left..
"Man, canât catch a fucking break" I couldnât help grumbling in annoyance..
"Hehehe.. seems youâre quite popular with the elite class, for two of them to have an issue with you, phewww~~" Cara whistled as she mocked my dilemma..
"And whose fault is it that one of them looked like he wanted to annihilate my entire family for a crime I didnât even commit?" I smacked her ass gently as I retorted..
"Owww.. hey, you knew what you were signing up for when you decided to make this young lady your woman, whatâd you expect? That youâd just get to keep me all to yourself without others interfering? Humph" she pouted, All her earlier coldness vanishing like smoke..
"Actually, yes, thatâs exactly what I expected, not this cliched bullshit of fighting off suitors left and right" I grumbled once again...
"Well too bad...letâs just hope this guy isnât going to be on about a woman, cause I donât seem to know this one" she commented lightly as she looked up, her eyes landing on the approaching blue haired youth..
"Good, at least Iâll be spared another clash of the suitors nonsense.." is what I said..
Yet when the new intruder finally reached us, his arrogant introduction of himself finally registering in my head, a dreadful unease started curling up my gut..
"Ahhh... you must that wretched womanâs new pet project huh?" The goon said arrogantly, no surprise there..
"Other than your looks, I donât see anything special about you" the bitterness in his voice was clear for all to hear..
"Yea, you should tell that to you little friend there, sheâs about to drool up a pool of saliva on the floor" I smirked softly as I pointed my chin at the young manâs partner...
He turned and then...
"Bitch!!!!!"
Slap!!!!!
A resounding slap landed right on the dazed young woman as she was sent crashing to the floor, her decent face bearing a nasty bruise..
"Youâll pay for that" the young man turned to me with an angry expression..
"Talk about being stuck up, itâs not my fault your partner knows to appreciate the good stuff" I was hellbent on stuffing his inferiority in his face..
"Heh.. I canât say Iâm surprised, youâre as foul as that wretched aunt of mine, but donât worry,
cousin,
I
Caelum Von Draken,
will be the big guy here and help her discipline you"..
