Eva POV
I again woke up in an uncomfortable bed amongst the mosquitoes in the forest. I was uncomfortable, before when I knew that Max is all mine, this was the most beautiful bed I would ever have in my life. When I woke up I felt my back broken and suddenly the luxurious bed which I had as the devil's wife seems to be much more beautiful. I got fresh and when I came out of my room, I realized that I was damn late.The wolves were already up with the early sunrise and were working madly with their tools and self defense stuff. However, I had something else to do.
Ignoring the wolves, I started walking into the deep forest. I saw the trees destroyed by the huge Troy's . Even if I get lost in this forest, these marks were actually paths towards the witches coven.
I was walking for a long time now and was losing the count of the sunlight as the huge trees were seriously bushy. Even if someone tried hiding in there no one will ever be able to track him. I was thinking about it when someone suddenly came from behind and pulled me near the tree.
" what the hell you are doing?", Max questioned.
He was completely soaked in sweat with his breath heavy. His hairs were messy and his shirt was sticking to his chest. He looked more sexy and his hand was around my waist with my head against the huge tree trunk. He was damn close to me and my hand was on his chest that was broad and hard.
" will you answer... what are your intentions?", he asked me again.
At this moment with his extreme closeness it is really difficult to focus on his one question.
" I... I am going to meet my long lost family", i said.
" yeah for sure .. why dont you test your immortality there where you were once burnt alive?", he asked.
" this is quite lame... I didn't had an idea about my power that time but now I know that I can take them all down"
I was confident and my tone proved it. However I saw concern in his eyes. He either has lost trust in me or he actually doesn't want me to get hurt. I was quite resilient in that path and hence I moved my fingers on his chest and said in a seductive tone,
" or you don't want me to leave so soon?"
He held my index finger and took a step back increasing the distance.
" I want my wife back" he said.
That was a wretched moment and my heart collapsed in pieces. I could say nothing more. I was kind of actually here to save his wife. The only words that I spilled was,
" then let me take care of it...even if i die", i said.
The last line was mandatory. Ofcource I'll not kill myself for that bitch but i wanted Max to know how dreadfully he is chosing that bitches life over me. I walked leaving him there as his words got stuck in his throat after my sentence. I reached near the witches coven and another similar question Rose in my mind,
" am I still invited?"
If I was not then I can't cross the boundary any more but let me atleast give it a try. I took a deep breath and took my front foot forward slowly. I slowly moved forward with five steps checking if everything is ok and yes... I was invited. I was happy as I started walking into the coven. It was quite actually, looked like no one is home. I crossed the gardens and their cultivation and finally reached the main gate of the entrance of the houses. These were not houses, they were a series of rooms with everything equal. Something similar to what humans call as hostels. On the plane ground in front of the rooms, I saw all the witches. They were on their knees praying silently. I feel like killing them all at once but it was the torment time.
" you guys never woke up from your stupid rituals... did you?", I spoke mocking.
They heard my snide and turned towards me. I stuck to the sarcastic smile and my vicious mouth to spat venom whenever they try to turn against me. Bit something was ironic today. When they saw me, they at once got up and gathered around me as if I am a kind of priest or something. My eyes searched for Noman to explain me the issue. I am not really interested in hearing their filthy comments. Noman, the leader and the Phoenix is a kind of man with soft words however I couldn't find him.
Lavender bought a tray of ashes near me and showed it to me,
" The lord Noman never came back. He burnt you that night to gain your powers, however you rejuvenated but Norman's ashes remained ash", Lavender said.
I was struck. Pain turned into pleasure but the baffled feeling never ended. I couldn't believe it. All this time, I thought that my devil husband is protecting me but it was Noman whose powers are in me. I smiled brightly and never felt the happiness. I looked into the eyes of my traitor friend Lavender and said,
" rot without your coven leader here"....
