SPELLBOUND

dowed face, just those vivid devil-blue eyes. 

Her heart thumped hard against her ribcage.
Why did he bring her here? Where was this place?

Evie swallowed hard and her eyes moved from one side to the other.
It was then that she realized this dark room was familiar, and she seemed to have seen it many times in her dreams.

”Evielyn… ” he whispered, and Evie swore that his voice sounded almost miserable.
She could feel his hot breath touching her lips.
Their noses were almost brushing each other ’s due to his closeness.
Evie caught her breath as he said it, those same words she had heard so many times before.
”Tell me.
Why did you not keep your promise? ” His hands curled tighter around her arms as he asked again.
”Why?! ”

She thought she was prepared enough to reply to these words now after so many nights she had spent thinking about it.
But she was unable to speak immediately.
Maybe because of how close he was, that he had caused her to be completely disoriented for a moment.
And when she managed to snap back to reality and was about to throw out the question that she had practiced in her mind many times before, she then heard a dry sardonic barking laughter from him that made her draw her lips closed again.

As she looked at him, speechless and wide eyed, she wondered why he had suddenly laughed that way.
Why did it seem that she was the one in the wrong here?

He finally let go of her wrist and then his palms slammed on the walls behind her, causing her to jump in shock again.
He bent his face down to hers as he pulled his body away, stretching his powerful arms and leaning forward heavily.
His eyes burning even fiercer, colder.
”Of course, I don ’t need to ask, do I? It ’s quite obvious that you have come to hate me and that ’s why you broke your promise.
So, I guess, I must ask you a different question. ” His fingers flew to her chin and curled around it, lifting her face close to his.

”Why do you hate me now? Huh? Evie? Is it because of what I revealed to you that night about myself? Or… ” he trailed off and his other hand wrapped around the small of her back and abruptly pulled her to press her body flush against him.
His voice and aura becoming darker and colder again, murderous even.
”Or is it because you ’ve fallen for someone else, now? ”

Evie swallowed again.
Her throat was dry.
Her Gavriel would never terrify her like this.
Even when he was furious, he would not unleash it in front of her and frighten her so badly.

”I… ” a word finally managed to leave her mouth.
She knew she had to speak now.
Because if she did not, this cruel person might really do something to hurt her this time.
”I don ’t hate you, but I hate what you are doing to me right now! You are scaring me, hurting me… ”
