Eva POV
I didn't remember when I slept the last night but when I woke up I was on my bed. My head was on Damon's muscular chest and I could feel his stiff body and broad muscles under me. Though he had curves and flexible corners, he was still being a comfortable sponge for me. I got up from his chest and noticed him. He was a devil and still was sleeping like a cute old boy. I remembered the chat we had last night. I was stuck on just one question that I asked him,
"you raped me six years ago when you had forcefully married me, bullied me, harassed me and imprisoned me.... what changed, why do I feel so warm now?"
"I can feel you", he replied.
There was so much passion in his words and his eyes that i was melted. I didn't want to hear anything new but he continued,
"you kept me alive in your soul, even when i was ressurected, my soul as attached to you and i felt everything what you felt.... the hatred for me, the fear, the filth that you see in me and the warmth that you attained from Max, the heartbreak that he gave you. I felt your miserable life and I want to make it up for you", he said.
I was satisfied, speechless and blushed. I could have kissed him myself last night but yes who can forget the disgusting life that i experienced before as his newly wed wife. I got up from the bed and went to the washroom to fresh up. After the bath when I came out, Damon was sitting on the bed staring at me. For once, I froze at my place. I realized that I was just in my towel and he was staring down at me. I didn't even take my clothes to bathroom today so I hurriedly turned and ran into the bathroom again.
"you can come out.... I am going, don't be wet for that long or you will catch cold", he shouted and I heard the door close.
I slowly opened the washroom door and checked outside. The room was completely empty. He has actually left, a changed man he is and I can feel it. I wore my dress and walked down the stairs to living room. All I found was Aden sitting on Damon's lap and eating with him. He seemed happy. They were talking wolf business and Aden was describing his stories of forest.
"ok then we will go to the forest today", Damon said and he looked at me.
I was smiling already and today I didn't feel a necessity to hide my smile. I sat on the dining table too and said,
"I'll come with you guys, I will deal with my business too", I said.
I haven't seen the coven from the past few days. Being their leader its my responsibility to check whether everyone is doing well or not. I rapped my things and we went on a family trip. In the car Aden sat between me and Damon. Damon was respecting me, my choices and he was controlling himself all day and night. Before Damon used to just come up at night without caring whether I am sleeping or not. He used to appear from nowhere and insert his hard dick between my legs hurting me badly every night. He never cared for my screams of forgiveness.
The next morning when I used to get up in pain, I used to be surrounded by maids who saw me like a whore who is stuck to Damon for pleasure. I used to plead Damon for freedom to see the world out of this villa and he used to slap me and punish me again. I was not even given the liberty to die too. I used to feel the cold shallow embrace of a devil every night where my tears and my pain had no worth. I went through extreme cruelty because of which when I see Damon now, it is hard to believe that this man was once my worst nightmare.
We reached the forest and Damon dropped me in front of the coven,
"Don't go too far, I don't want Lavender to learn about Aden", I told Damon.
I trusted him, now at least.
"Don't worry, he will be all fine", Damon said and I waved a goodbye to Aden.
I walked into the coven then. Something was mischievous here. The grass turned grey, the flowers dry, everything seemed gloomy and unfaithful. I kept on speaking the fresh spell to bring life in all the dead plants and they were slowly turning green until at a point I saw something more horrifying. Dead birds lying everywhere on the ground. The sight was painful and I need no explanation except to know what was the purpose. I increased my pace and reached in front of the coven.
There was utter silence, people moaning and everyone gathered at one ground. I walked and saw a dead body. He was Lavender's boyfriend's brother as far as I remember. How can she even kill him?
"Whatt happened?", I asked astonished.
"Why do you care, you are the Phoenix, we need you to fight here but you live there in a palace with the devil", one girl in tears spoke.
Her words were obvious but I tried comforting them as I said,
"Damon won't hurt you... anyone of you"
"well we know that because he is the one who should be scared now. he is dead", another woman said.
" what is it...I know Lavender had come here. What's the deal, why are you all doing this?" I asked honestly hoping a loyal reply instead they cursed me,
"There was no deal, just happiness. You are dead and so is your husband. He will burn in the sun, suffer like a wolf and his own dark magic will burst him in pieces", the elder man said.
I chewed my teeth and felt my heartbeat pacing. I turned around and ran into the woods. The forest is a public place and not safe for Damon. I was so scared that I didn't realise what all I was missing. I was just running madly to see him once. I hit two or more trees almost dislocating my shoulder around,
"hey you should have waited, we were coming to pick you up", I heard his bold sexy voice.
I turned around and he was standing behind a tree. That was such a relief. I quickly ran towards him, held his neck in both my hands and kissed him tight. He was stunned obviously but he didn't push me away. I stayed there for more than a sec and finally broke the kiss. He was looking deep in my eyes and he removed my horrible hairs from my face,
"what does this mean", he asked.
I know what he wanted to hear but I was not ready yet.
"dad... I got you", Aden came out of nowhere and said that.
I was thankful to him to make that grand entry.
"we should all get going now", I said and Aden obediently ran towards the car.
I turned around and was moving when Damon held my arm,
"you didn't answer", he said.
"I will when we come to the point that it is worth it", I said.....
