THE NIGHTMARE Chapter 79
We stared at each other for a few minutes while standing apart, panting from the run.Valerian was correct about him from the beginning," I thought.It became increasingly clear to me that Rafael was a perilously self-centered individual as I spent more time with him.He only cared about himself.He would go to absurd lengths to demonstrate that he could defeat Valerian, and once he had achieved his goal, he would come up with various justifications for his actions.While I foolishly smuggled him blood bags and thought of him as my friend, he probably had already planned the escape several weeks prior.When I asked, he played it as though he had been doing me a favor all along and took me hostage when it was convenient for him.I had considered leaving Valerian's home a huge amount in those most recent couple of days, yet when I was out I begun to believe that I hadn't exactly needed to leave.At least not yet, and certainly not in this manner.My hair was blown into my eyes as the wind sudde

I fell on a thick vine that was hidden in the soil as we were returning to the farmhouse.I rolled into the brush after a violent collision with the ground.My cheek was gashed by the impact.As he dusted me off, Rafael rushed to my side and lifted me up, but when he saw that my wound was bleeding, his kindness changed.He put the blood in his mouth after wiping it with his fingertip.As the taste of the liquid melted him, he closed his eyes.His body's black veins began to throb as his fangs extended from his gums.I shuddered when I saw him because his eyes were a fiery red when he opened them.“Rafael?”With a pleading tone, I whispered.As he climbed up on top of me, he let out a growl.His predatory posture made me gasp in fear.As he pressed his body against me, his lust for blood was taking over.I pushed him away from me when I started to panic, but it didn't help.He slammed me to the ground with a firm grip on my wrists.As he sniffed my hair and neck, he clung to my body with his hips.

I couldn't tell if it was Catelyn's cry when Rafael took her or mine when I heard a high-pitched scream.My throat felt dry and my head hurt.My nerves felt more alive than they had in days as I inhaled the air, which felt like needles in my blood.I quickly twisted and punched the wall with my right hand.I didn't feel any pain despite the fact that my skin tore and my knuckles began to bleed.Physically, at least.My pupil center felt dilated and my eyes were completely red.They were completely black, and I didn't even need to look in a mirror to see it.My claws, which extended from my fingernails, felt harder and sharper than ever before, and my canine teeth gradually grew into fangs.I turned around and punched the wall once more as I could feel my muscles getting stronger.Rafael grabbed her.in front of me right now.With trepidation in my teeth, I swung and turned.Catelyn's face had frozen in shock, indicating that she too had been caught off guard, and I had not anticipated that move.

"That way!"As he disappeared into the woods to my right, I heard Ivan yell.I fled in his direction.Over the following few days, my attraction to Rafael grew stronger.I wanted to give myself to him more and more as we talked and cuddled by the fire.He treated me with such kindness, and when he spoke, I could sense his admiration in his words.My heart was only filled with lust for Rafael, and my thoughts of Valerian were slowly drifting away.It was so exciting, but I felt out of control.I acted solely based on my feelings rather than on logic.It felt thrilling.I was at ease.One evening, our relationship filled in warmed energy.As we snuggled on the bed, he held me close to his chest.Rafael brushed my hair with his fingers and kissed my forehead as I was getting ready to sleep.As I slowly slid my hand down to his bare, masculine chest, I gently stroked his cheek with my palm.His eyes were a stunning dark blue and his skin was lightly tanned, as if the sun had kissed him.His gaze subme

We had set out in separate groups with people I could trust with my life.Each group had a team of six soldiers led by someone I had fought with who was well-versed in hunting in the woods.I sent Hunter out alone and ahead of everyone else because he was the best tracker I had ever worked with.I had known him for a long time and knew that was how he worked best.He kept a close eye on Mirela's footprints and Rafael's scent.Following suit were three distinct search teams led by the three brothers, each of which swore to return Mirela to me with no missing hair.Natalie, a fierce warrior in her own right, was in charge of the fourth group.She had perfected the skill of listening to the wind, despite speaking less than the majority of my men.I was hoping that her abilities would come in handy because she could recognize a distress call faster than anyone else I knew.I could hear my soldiers using bird calls and soft whistles to communicate with one another in the distance.A track is the e

Although it raised a lot of suspicion, it had become easier for me to resist Rafael since I discovered his manipulation.He would make an effort to be sweet and romantic with me, but I would reject him, and the lack of intimacy was making him enraged.I would try to avoid answering his questions about my sudden change in affection, but I was aware that I would no longer be able to deny his suspicions.I made the decision to discuss my discovery with him.My gaze melted into his as we sat in the living room on opposite sofas in mocking silence.As I gracefully folded my hands in my lap and crossed my legs, my rage gave me courage.I responded, "I know you have been manipulating me."He smiled lightly as he licked his lips.I ought to have known that you would conclude there was something off.You have a lot of intelligence."I just don't know how to."As he leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees, he sighed.It is a one-of-a-kind skill at manipulating and amplifying emotions.I was i

When I shrieked like a little girl and felt Ivan's powerful arms sweep me off my feet from behind, Valerian began to laugh.I felt like I could burst open with so much joy when he let out his laugh, which began as a deep rumble in his throat.Ivan threw me to Hunter, who tossed me into the air and gave me to the three brothers.Ivan took my hands in his, temporarily closed his eyes, and used his mind powers to undo my bracelets when the last one put me down.After Rafael had taken me, I took my first real breath and felt a surge of power push back into my chest.I could feel their intense joy deep within me because they were all so thrilled to see me.I had never felt safer, and there were many familiar faces all around me.I observed a darkening of his expression as Valerian looked past me.He gave me a nod and extended his right hand toward me.I strolled over to him, grasped his hand, and covered his palms with mine on one or the other side.As we began to walk back in the direction of Rafa
THE NIGHTMARE Chapter 86
I calmly embraced Valerian's cheeks with my palms as I drew closer to him, forcing him to look into my eyes. "Rafael manipulated me into kissing him using his powers.Which powers?“He used my loneliness to trick me into feeling affection for him by amplifying my doubts about you and making me forget about you.Before you arrived, I figured it out.I tried to calm him by massaging the nape of his neck, but I could feel his jealousy and rage shaking beneath my fingertips.He pushed me off him, breaking my heart simultaneously. "I don't believe you.You haven't chosen another man over me before!"Valentine, I swear to you!I'm being truthful!”As I reached for him, I begged, but he retreated.Believe me, please!I only desire you!As he considered my statement, he took a deep breath.I knew he was trying to understand my sincerity by channeling my emotions."I swear, Valerian.It had no significance.It was a hoax.The muscles in his arms flinched as he dug his hands into his front pockets after a
