Avenging her by hima (top ten ebook reader TXT) 📕

saw her surprise on seeing me and she assured me in.

I gave her a bunch of red roses that I picked up on the way. She took them from my hands with a surprise on her face.

“Do you by any chance know that I love red roses or it’s just a wild guess?” she asked.

I was caught off guard; I brought them because Nina loved red roses.

She smiled sweetly and thanked me before I could even reply.

“I just wanted to make it up to you for the last time, you know. I remembered that I need to attend to something important.” I said trying to sound sincere.

She nodded though I could see that she is disappointed about something.

“Would you like some coffee?” she asked.

I pretended to read the newspaper when I’m gazing at her every movement in the kitchen counter. She seemed so vulnerable; I felt the need to protect her from any danger. She boiled the milk and stood at the counter pursing her lips, she seems to make some conversation with her mind. She glanced at me and smiled alluringly. My heart skipped with joy and felt the strong need to embrace her. How could a mere human have such impact on me?

She gave me the coffee mug; we remained silent while she made some mental thinking.

“Um.. Shadow did you come to my room the previous night?” she asked.

“No...” I said trying to sound casual.

She is not convinced by what I said she still has doubts about it. What should I do? I couldn’t risk her questioning more about it. I did the only thing that next came to my mind. I kissed her not a passionate one but enough to waver her from the topic.
I wanted to distract her more so that she wouldn’t bring the topic again. I asked her about her college, she spoke about them and our discussion turned to his dad. She said that she loves her dad so much. I growled thinking about the murderer of my mate. Good thing she took it as a sign that I’m hungry. She hurried to get us something to eat.

I caught her staring at me when I’m playing with keyboard. She blushed red. The monster in me took over and I reached for her dragging her deep into my embrace and kissing her passionately. She complied with me. It felt good. This time none saw the need of breaking the perfect moment.

The phone rang bringing us back to the world. She hurried to it.

“Love you, Dad.” I heard her when she clicked off the phone.

Anger burst through my veins as I heard his name. I tried to rein my anger.

“I have to leave. “ I said.

Her face was down when I said that. This is the perfect time to say goodbye I mayn’t have the strength for later.

“I just came by to say good bye.” I said.

She instantly looked at me horrified.

“What?” she asked puzzled.

“I’m moving away to some other town on business purpose.” He said.

She slumped on to the couch catching her head in her hands. I instantly felt the urge to console her but I remained quiet.

“When?” She asked.

Her voice gave it away. She is fighting hard to restrain her tears.

“Early morning.”

“Will you stay here for at least this night?”

She was almost begging me too. I couldn’t resist the offer. I don’t want to be desperate so I acted like I was thinking and nodded after sometime. She smiled half-heatedly. It tore my heart to see her in pain.

What’s wrong with me? First I wanted to kill her and then I thought it’s better to change her and now I even abandoned the thought of it. The worst thing is I don’t want her to suffer from any pain then how am I going to avenge my mate?

We talked most of the time. She said about how her dad leaves her all the time alone and about her mom who died long ago. I doubt if she knows how her mom died. A vampire killed her for her blood. She said that it’s an accident that took her away. I nodded. She spoke about Dan at the mention of his name my stomach tightened. When I asked about her ring she said that she needed some time to think over their relation. I know about how she felt that she is betraying him by having feelings towards me, she spoke to me the other night when I curled up in her laps. She spoke about her friends tony and others whom I never saw or wanted to.

When she asked about me; I said that I lost my parents in an accident and I have a sister Cathy and she is married to matt. I didn’t give her the whole truth. I tried to avoid her questions by asking her loads of questions. Like favorite color, movie, place, food, book and it’s a wonder how most of her tastes are similar to Nina’s. May be it’s her born for me again or how else would she call me shades? I shoved that thought aside this is not helping me.


<Summer’s POV>

I know it’s wrong to ask him to stay at home when dad isn’t here but I wanted to spend some more time with him since he is obviously leaving me the next day. We talked most of the time, there’s something wrong about his personal life whenever I would try to learn more about him. He distracted me with another question.

I lay on my bed thinking that one floor below me Shadow is lying on his bed. I snuggled into covers and watched the window for kitty. It came when my eyelids were heavy and about to doze off. It snuggled closer to me.
I was walking through the same place and I sneaked around to wait for Shadow who for some sort of reason is not here today. I hid myself inside a bush and stared at the place where I usually see him. I began to feel tired as none came then when I’m about to get out from my hiding, I saw kitty coming close to the pond. My face elated on seeing her I reached out for her and as soon as I made a step towards it changed to Shadow. I smiled at him and ran into him, kissing him.

“Now.” I said.

He smiled crookedly and leaned on to my neck and bit before I knew to shriek. I woke up shrieking still bits of nightmare hanging to my conscious mind.

I felt someone rubbing my shoulders and whispering to calm down. I looked up and saw Shadow staring at me concerned. By sheer instinct I shook his hands away crying “Don’t bite me. Please…”

I shivered at the thoughts of the dream. I saw him appalled and realization of what I had done dawned me. I hugged him crying hard.

He sat on my bed and cuddled me whispering to calm down. It felt weird you know it’s him that I feared in my dream and it’s him in real that comforted me now. Strange, isn’t it?

I woke up as the sun rays hit me and saw my bed empty except for me. I ran downstairs hoping that Shadow wouldn’t leave without saying a proper goodbye. Thank god, he is here.

“Good morning.” I wished.

He smiled brilliantly.

“I would like to show you some place before I leave.” He said.

“Sure. I’ll go get ready.” I said hurrying up.

I’m happy that he is going to spend some more time with me.

When I came down he is already setting us breakfast, I munched on it as fast I could. He laughed at me for being so excited like a child.

We set out into the forest. What place would he want to show in a forest? We walked for almost 15 min before he said to close my eyes. I did. He led me through trees and asked me to open my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes taking in the surroundings one by one.

“God! This can’t be true.” I shrieked.

He mistook my apprehension as excitement.

All my nightmares rushed into my mind as I took in the place. It’s the place where I meet him in my dreams. Shadow was standing at the exact spot where he always does in dreams.

“Summer” I heard a familiar voice.

I turned in the direction of voice and saw dad emerging through the trees.

“Dad” I shrieked with joy and ran to hug him.

“You shouldn’t be here.” He said sternly.

“Sorry, my friend brought me here to show this place.” I said.
He frowned.

“Where is he?” he asked.

I turned to introduce Shadow to dad. He is nowhere to be seen, I ran hectically around but he is nowhere. I wonder where he is gone, he was here a second ago and how could he leave so fast or why did he leave anyway all of a sudden?

“I’m sorry, dad. He is here a moment ago, I don’t where he went.” I said irritated about shadow’s behavior.

“Let’s go home.” He said.

He is carrying something like a spear hanging to his back.

“What was that for?” I asked.

“To be protected from animals.”

I saw few more members joining us as we walked away they all are carrying the same thing. Something is wrong. Why is dad even here when he has to be in city for work? Where did Shadow go? Who are these people?

It’s good that others left us alone, they took leave of dad and he spoke something to them.

I hugged him once more. I realized how much I missed him.

“I’m hungry. Will you prepare something for me?” he asked.

I nodded. He went to his room to get refreshed.

“How was your college and friends?” he asked warming up for conversation.

I spoke how much I enjoy company of my friends; I spoke about Dan and asked why he didn’t say about him. He said that it would spoil fun. I told him about Shadow and kitty. He is more interested about Shadow. He asked me whether if he was the friend that I spoke about at the lake. I nodded. He rubbed his chin absentmindedly which meant he is thinking about something.

“Summer, will you promise me something and I don’t want you to question me back?” he said.

I nodded.

“I don’t think you should be friends with Shadow.”

I frowned but I promised I wouldn’t question him so I left it that way. I said that I won’t question him about this but I can ask others right.

“How come you are here?” I started but was cut off in the middle sentence.

“I’m sorry but I should leave now.” He said.

“You just came.” I mumbled.
