Chapter 99
Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T
9. Angel Stefan falls silent as he is about to tell me what happened to him in the catacombs. The blood drains from his face, and his hands are trembling, making me curious. about what lies beneath the Blood Ledge and what happened during those three days he was there. But from how he looks at me, I know that is all he is willing to share with me. And yet....
âKeep going.â I say.
He shakes his head. âThe only thing I can say is that if there is a hell on Earth, it is there âBut whatâs in those catacombs?â
âDemons that consumed their vessels and lost their only chance of being forgiven and accepted in the Garden of Eden. They donât take those who harm their mates lightly, for they have desecrated their chance of being redeemed, they can be very, very viciousâ
His hand returns to my face, his fingers gently brushing against my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. I hate being hellstar as it makes me emotionally dependent on my mates, which means I need all three of them to be happy. F uck that! I would rather live with this gaping hole in my chest for the rest of my days than forgive them. And I need to stop sleeping with Alekos and Reyes and make an exit plan.
âWill you let me feed you now?â Stefan asks.
âNo. You are here only because Emily wasnât who you thought she was. If the videos of her were different, you would not be here right now but with her.â I push him away from me.
âBut I am choosing you!â
I go to the fridge and grab the milk, no longer wanting to eat the food he made. âYou never chose me,â I retort, my back to him as I prepare a bout of cereal on the counter. âYou conveniently switched sides when you realized yours wainât the only di ck Emily was sucking.â
He stands behind me, his chest leaning over, his hands grabbing my waist. His breath is warm on my skin as he says into my ear, âit is true that I didnât realize what an idiot I was until I saw those videos of Emily, but when I was in the forest, alone, all I could think about was you-you on Alekosâs desk while I was devouring that pus sy of yours. I still dream of your taste. You on your knees, wearing stockings while sucking my d ick. You making dinner with me and having a great time. You, you, and only you.â
My body reacts to my mate, and my heart accelerates, and 1 force myself to breathe evenly. I hate, hate being a hellstar. His hands cover the baby bunip, and I grab his wrists, wanting to yank them away, but he is so much stronger than me. âIf itâs true, why did you leave me there?â I want to know.
âYour presence in Alekosâs house annoyed me to no end. I hated the idea of you bring the Lady of the house. When I saw you in my room, snooping around and using my laptop, I thought that was my chance to get rid of you.â His hands still cradle my stomach, and I want him to stop touching me. âWhen Reyes said you were our hellstar, I hated you even more. You know why?â
Tears fill my eyes. Why does he torment me like this? âIf you hate me so much, leave.â
âI was scared of falling for you and losing you.â Just like he lost Emily, is what he doesnât say out loud. The tip of his nose runs along my neck. âRunning away from you was my way of not acknowledging my true feelings for you. I thought that by not saying a word about your whereabouts, I would not have to face reality.â He swallows hard. âWhen I saw that horrible video of you and heard you scream my name, I finally understood how close I came to losing everything. I decided not to let my fear screw with my head anymore. Like it or not, you are my Schatzi.â
âStop calling me that!â I snap and elbow him.
He takes a step back, giving me enough room to tum on my heels so I can face him and give him a piece of my mind. But the words die on my lips as I see the pare hunger in his eyes. I donât want him to look at me like that. I him to keep hating me, to not want me. It will be easier for me to keep my distance them.
âYou had your chance.â I want to tell him, but my entire body melts as he grabs my face between his palms and kisses me.
lips are on my lips, his tongue spearing inside my mouth, and my heart feels like it will explode. He groans as he feasts on my mouth Why is he kissing me when he dislikes it?
as his mouth My palms push against his chest, and his left hand grabs my hair-how he manages to do it when it is so short is a mystery and keeps me in place as becomes even more demanding, 1/2 99. Angel when he tiga at der in I shake my brad. âYou need to stop. And you donât like usingâ

my aches and Alexos do it all the time, letting sirachs love the baby. I never expected Stefan to feel the same. What if he is trying to manipulate me? My head tells me not to trust him.
