Chapter 99

9. Angel

Stefan falls silent as he is about to tell me what happened to him in the catacombs. The blood drains

from his face, and his hands are trembling, making me curious. about what lies beneath the Blood

Ledge and what happened during those three days he was there. But from how he looks at me, I know

that is all he is willing to share with me. And yet….

“Keep going.” I say.

He shakes his head. “The only thing I can say is that if there is a hell on Earth, it is there

“But what’s in those catacombs?”

“Demons that consumed their vessels and lost their only chance of being forgiven and accepted in the

Garden of Eden. They don’t take those who harm their mates lightly, for they have desecrated their

chance of being redeemed, they can be very, very vicious”

His hand returns to my face, his fingers gently brushing against my cheek, sending shivers down my

spine. I hate being hellstar as it makes me emotionally dependent on my mates, which means I need

all three of them to be happy. F uck that! I would rather live with this gaping hole in my chest for the rest

of my days than forgive them. And I need to stop sleeping with Alekos and Reyes and make an exit

plan.

“Will you let me feed you now?” Stefan asks.

“No. You are here only because Emily wasn’t who you thought she was. If the videos of her were

different, you would not be here right now but with her.” I push him away from me.

“But I am choosing you!”

I go to the fridge and grab the milk, no longer wanting to eat the food he made. “You never chose me,” I

retort, my back to him as I prepare a bout of cereal on the counter. “You conveniently switched sides

when you realized yours wain’t the only di ck Emily was sucking.”

He stands behind me, his chest leaning over, his hands grabbing my waist. His breath is warm on my

skin as he says into my ear, “it is true that I didn’t realize what an idiot I was until I saw those videos of

Emily, but when I was in the forest, alone, all I could think about was you-you on Alekos’s desk while I

was devouring that pus sy of yours. I still dream of your taste. You on your knees, wearing stockings Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

while sucking my d ick. You making dinner with me and having a great time. You, you, and only you.”

My b*dy reacts to my mate, and my heart accelerates, and 1 force myself to breathe evenly. I hate,

hate being a hellstar. His hands cover the baby bunip, and I grab his wrists, wanting to yank them

away, but he is so much stronger than me. “If it’s true, why did you leave me there?” I want to know.

“Your presence in Alekos’s house annoyed me to no end. I hated the idea of you bring the Lady of the

house. When I saw you in my room, snooping around and using my laptop, I thought that was my

chance to get rid of you.” His hands still cradle my stomach, and I want him to stop touching me. “When

Reyes said you were our hellstar, I hated you even more. You know why?”

Tears fill my eyes. Why does he torment me like this? “If you hate me so much, leave.”

“I was scared of falling for you and losing you.” Just like he lost Emily, is what he doesn’t say out loud.

The tip of his nose runs along my neck. “Running away from you was my way of not acknowledging my

true feelings for you. I thought that by not saying a word about your whereabouts, I would not have to

face reality.” He swallows hard. “When I saw that horrible video of you and heard you scream my

name, I finally understood how close I came to losing everything. I decided not to let my fear screw with

my head anymore. Like it or not, you are my Schatzi.”

“Stop calling me that!” I snap and elbow him.

He takes a step back, giving me enough room to tum on my heels so I can face him and give him a

piece of my mind. But the words die on my lips as I see the pare hunger in his eyes. I don’t want him to

look at me like that. I him to keep hating me, to not want me. It will be easier for me to keep my

“You had your chance.” I want to tell him, but my entire b*dy melts as he grabs my face between his

palms and k*sses me.
