Alpha Khalid POV
I couldn’t hold my anger anymore. It’s been two damn months, since she’s been laying on that bed, not moving, she never opened her eyes to look at me, as much as I’m obviously seeing that she’s dead, something keeps telling me that she’s not, a part of me, keeps telling me that she’s still going to come back to life, I can’t give up, just like that.
The sound of the door, opening, pulled my attention, but I didn’t look at the direction, knowing who it would be. Mother is here again. I thought I made it clear that I don’t want to see anybody? I just want to be alone, I just want to be left alone with her, is that too much to ask?
“Son I….”
“I’m not hungry mother.” I cut her off, not raising my gaze to look at her. Why would she ask me to eat, huh? Has Octavia eaten? She’s laying down here, I don’t even know whether to believe she’s dead or not, and she wants me to start eating? That’s crazy, that’s nonsense.
“But son you need to…”
“Don’t make me repeat myself mother!” I roared angrily, as I sprang up, and faced her, my whole body enraged. I don’t like being like this to her, I don’t like hurting her, but she should understand that I’m not myself now, and talking about food to me, should be the last thing she should be thinking of.
She flinched, as tears welled up her eyes, but it didn’t got to me, at the point, I don’t care about anyone else, but Octavia. I just want her back to life, I just want to make things up to her, I want to ask for her forgiveness, and hold her in my arms, I want to spend the rest of my life, protecting her, but that seems like it’s going to be only wishes, which will never come through.
She turned around, and ran out of my room in tears.
Letting out a sigh, I placed my two arms on my waist, and threw my head back, as tears came pouring from my eyes. I know I’m really going through alot, alot of things are falling out of place, but that is not my problem for now, I just want her to be fine, and every other thing can come in after then.
I went to sit on the bed, and took her hand, giving it a tender and careful squeeze, before raising my gaze to her pale looking face.
“How’re you feeling today? Are you feeling alright? I know you can’t hear me, I know you may be gone so far, I know I don’t deserve to bring you back, considering what I’ve made you passed through. I don’t deserve you, I know that, but can you please, just give life a second chance? I promise to make your days on earth, a memorable one, I’ll make sure that you don’t smell pains ever in your life, let alone feeling it, I’ll make sure I protect you, even with my own life. Just please, do this, if not for anyone, but for your mother’s sake, she’s really going through alot here, she needs you. Please wake up.” Tears kept pouring from my eyes, as I caress her hand, before leaning in on her, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
“You know, you’re really a strong woman, right? I’ve always admired you from the first time I set my eyes on you, my demon had always told me, he had given me so many signals, but I failed to listen to them, and that’s what lead to everything now. Why not give this a chance, we can do this, right?” I said, not stopping my tears from flowing, as I cupped her cheeks, and staring down at her.
“Everybody are saying you’re dead… they said to go bury you…, but you know what? I believe in you, I know you’ll pull through this, I know you’ll be fine, it’s just for a matter of time. Take your time Octavia, I’ll always be here, waiting to have you in my arms, I’ll be here, waiting to make things up to you…. I’ve never really said this to anyone before, but I think it’s what I really feel deep inside me…. I love you Octavia, please come back to me.” I said, and leaned in on her, before resting my head on her chest as I hugged her on the bed. This is what I’ve always done on daily basis, cry my eyes out, and still hug her. I know I shouldn’t be close to her, let alone hugging her, considering what I’ve done to her, but somehow, I find comfort in doing that, I feel my hope alive, each time I do that…
Astrid POV
I can’t believe that even after everything, Khalid is still attached to that girl. I was happy when I heard the news of her death, but it seem not to change anything, but worsen the whole situation. Just one thing is hindering me, just a single thing, and that is her burial. Once she’s buried now, I know that I’ll have full control over Khalid, he’ll all be mine.
Since she still has so much effect on him, even after her death, I think it’s high time I do something about it. Months ago, when I wanted to kill her parents, I terminated my plans, after o found out that she was dead herself. My happiness knew no bound, but seems like it only got worsened. Since then, I haven’t set my eyes on Khalid, as he’s always indoor, crying his eyes out, because of that thing. Urgh! So annoying.
I think it’s high time I start my plans. Maybe if I kill her parents, that’ll distract Khalid, and I can go snatched her body, and go bury her, that’ll be all, and I’ll he done with this whole shits.
Standing before the mirror, dressed in all black leather pants and shirt, with a big cloak over it, the hoodie cap, covering my head, and a mask on my face, I smirked dangerously, before heading to the balcony. Once I stepped into the balcony, I looked around, before jumping down the rail, into the dark woods, and soon, I was on my way to where her parents now lives…
