Chapter 21 - 20

Inside a red car,Raphael held a sobbing girl in his arms,her face buried in his chest while she curled on his lap.

Behind the car,were three men, laying down bathed in their own blood.

"See my love?,you see it yourself now right?"

Raphael spoke softly into her ear while carressing her back.

"That is what happens when someone torches what is mine"

He whispered but this only made Samantha's sob grow louder as she clutch to his shirt. And he loved what he was seeing.

"Now you understand baby girl,when I say no one torches what is mine,i mean no one"

His voice sounded deadly but the way he carressed her back,so smoothly,his hand running through her soft hair,the sweet scent of her shampoo wafting to his senses.

"Why-hic.."

She hiccuped between her sobs

" y_you killed them"

"They touched you sweetheart,they torched what is mine and you know I don't tolerate someone torching what belongs to me"

He spoke ever so softly but this only made her cry even more.

"You must be so scared of what they did to you,I should've made their deaths more painful"

"I want to go home"

"I'll take you home soon,just wait a little longer for a friend okay?"

At his words,the glass of the car shattered and Immediately,he pulled her to the opposite side while using his body to shield hers from any sharp shads.

Instantly,the door was pulled open and Raphael could feel the woman in his arms jerk out of fear.

"What the f**k is wrong with you!"

The voice of Azrael echoed through the lobby as he yelled.

"Stay here sugar"

He whispered and in the next moment,he vanished,then rematerialized outside the car in front of the angry Azrael.

"You scared my woman,you know I could have your head for that"

He spoke so calmly you would think he didn't just threaten to kill someone.

"F**k that,what shit it this!?"

Azrael roared referring to the text Raphael sent moments ago, threatening him to be here in less than eight minutes, else he'd do something scandal.

"Them"

Raphael ushered and when Azrael followed his line of sight,he saw the three bodies laying lifelessly on the ground.

"Get your men to clean it up and find someone to put the blame on"

Raphael said.

"Do I look crazy to you,your mess,your responsibility"

"Are you saying you won't do it?"

Raphael asked,his voice turning into a low menacing one.

"Alright then" he tilted his head to the side

"shall I inform Dorian about your woman,I'm certain he would love to hear all about her"

He smirked satisfied at the look of panic which showed on the beta's face.

"Or did you think I didn't know about your little secret"he chuckled

"You underestimate me Azrael, so, will you do it, or not"

Silence beemed between them for a while and when Azrael wouldn't respond, he smiled knowing he had hit the right spot.

"That's what I thought"

"F**k you!!"

Azrael cursed but Raphael just smiled as he walked back to his car which now had one shattered window.

"So what you're saying is that,that person was a demon"

Penelope asked once they were in Dorian's car and he explained few things to her.

"Supernaturals exist and you're a shifter"

She stated everything Dorian had just said but moments after,it was followed by a hafty laughter which died down when she saw his unchanged expression.

"You're serious?"

She asked now composing herself.

"So you're, you're saying that was__real?"

Now she sounded scared and when he nodded,she felt her head spin slightly.

She didn't want to believe it but it had happened right in front of her,she couldn't even deny it if she wanted

"Are you,are you like.."

"No"

He replied knowing what she wanted to ask.

"But you said.."

"I'm a shifter,not a demon"

He replied not liking the thought of those damned souls.

"Shifter,what is that?"

He paused to observe whether she would take the information lightly before he proceeded.

"Lycan"

She frowned

"What?, isn't that just a fictional creature?"

She asked but he shook his head and he saw amusement cross her face.

"So you're saying you're a wolf"

He nodded.

"That's impossible"

She breathed out with a deeper frown but when he kept his expression unchanged,her lips went slightly ajar.

"There's no way...."

"Do you remember the black wolf"

He asked but inturn,her eyes widened.

"Th_that was you!"

When he nodded she felt her head pound heavily,this was too much to take in,she saw the car begin to spin or was it just her.

"Penelope!"

Dorian's voice sounded panicked as he held her when she swayed.

"Wait,those Wolves I saw at the...were they also.."

He nodded.

Her hand went up to her head, rubbing harshly at the pain which throbbed.

"Is there anything else?"she asked

"Maybe later"

He was worried and didn't want to give her a banging headache,he would explain it clearly some other time.

"Let's go home first"

She frowned

Home.

which home did he mean?,hers or,to those Wolves den.

"Uh_i can't go to your home"

"Why?"

"My dad, he'll..."

"I'll tell him where you are"

"No, he'll still be worried"

"Then I'll talk to him"

He insisted.

"No I..(sigh)" she really didn't know how to phrase the words but then she didn't need to when he replied

"Fine, tomorrow then"

She nodded happy she wouldn't be going there right after just finding out of their existence.

This was beyond bizarre.
