I shiver, my body alive as the energy crackles through the air.
When hell and earth combine into one, and we will all live in hell.
“Come on,” Vera says, snapping me out of my daze. I jolt, looking over at her in shock. “We need to go finish this. Now. Before anything else happens.”
I head to my car, but Felix blocks me, his hand shooting in front of my waist. I glance up at him with confusion, and he shakes my head. “Get in Malik’s car. We’re driving together.”
I nod, not sure I have the ability to drive right now anyway.
Felix wraps his fingers in mine, and I glance down at them as he pulls me to the back of the car. The trunk pops open, and Felix pushes me inside. I’m about to complain when he comes after me, shutting the trunk behind him.
The car is full, but it feels like it’s only us.
He sits close to me, and I can feel the heat of his body soaking into mine. Goosebumps break free, but it’s not from the cold. It’s because the way he’s looking at me right now, it’s how he used to look at me.
Before he knew we were related.
His hand raises, and he brushes my hair aside, his hand going to the back of my neck. “You shouldn’t be as alluring as you are,” he rumbles as the car turns on, rocking back and forth as Malik makes his way down the gravel road.
I sigh, closing my eyes as his fingers dig into my skin. “I don’t want to be related,” I whisper.
His touch leaves me, and my eyes fly open, grabbing onto his hand. I bring it back to my neck, pleading to him with my eyes. I don’t want to lose this moment, even if it’s the last second I’ll ever have with him.
When did he no longer become my enemy, but something I feel like I can’t breathe without?
“Your blood is my blood,” he growls.
“Did it feel wrong? Have we always been wrong?” I whisper, searching his eyes.
“You were never meant to be mine,” he says, but something in his tone makes that hard to believe.
“But I don’t want to be anyone else’s.”
“We will neverbe, Hazel,” he snaps, his eyes narrowing in on mine. This time when he pulls away from me, I let him. Only because my shattering heart would make it painful for me to move even an inch.
“We can’t be. You’ll always be the enemy. I’ll never be what you need. I’ll break your heart, because I want to. I’ll tear you to shreds or eat you alive, because it brings me fucking happiness to cause suffering. I like you terrified. I like you pained. What you want and what I want is different.” He says the words simply, as if they don’t hold the weight of the world with them.
He says he wants me terrified, but he saves me every time I’m in danger. He doesn’t want to see me hurt, yet he wants to rescue me.
“You aren’t the devil you see yourself as.”
A grin pops onto his lips, his sharp teeth shining at me. “I’m worse than the devil, baby. You know the devil could never hurt you. You’re too fucking strong for that. The witch in you would never get taken down by a devil, or a demon, or anything in the fucking supernatural world. But me? I’ll kill you, baby. With a flick of my wrists, I’ll shatter you to dust like you were never here to begin with.”
I canfeelthe lie in everything he says, as if it’s a bitterness that fills the air. I don’t believe him, not for a second.
I lean forward slightly, my body weary, though my mind is sharp. “I don’t believe you,” I whisper. “You’ll never kill me, because I think at the end of the day, it would kill you too.”
“You know nothing,” he growls.
“I know everything there is to know about you, Felix. Because the thing is, more than magic, I know about fate, and our lives haven’t crossed because we’re meant to be enemies. Our lives have crossed because we’re soul mates. The battle we fight today is only the beginning.”
I know the words deep in my soul are true, because I’ve never felt anything more real in my entire life.
Felix is mine, and if I make it out of this alive, I’ll make sure he believes it just as much as I do.
the battle we fight today is only the beginning.
We weren’t meant to be enemies.
