Helanie:
I have not been able to sleep this whole time. After Norman and I made out, he had gone to work on finding a solution with Emmet. He was probably in Emmet’s room, and that made me feel even lonelier.
"Hey!" I said, carefully walking up to the cage. He was badly wounded from his time out with the Zharns.
He snarled, not raising his head from the ground.
"Maximus!" I said his name. He got up and lunged at me. I didn’t back down even when he was trying to reach out with his claws through the bars.
"You want to claw me?" I asked in a softer, lighter tone. I reached out to his hand but only brushed the tip of our fingers, and he suddenly backed down.
He stared at my hand and then lifted his head. I swear I wasn’t seeing things, but I spotted tears in his eyes.
"Maximus! It’s me, Helanie!" I reached the bar so close this time, not even fearing that he might attack me. I knew he would never harm me.
He kept staring at his hand before he strolled closer again, this time reaching with his finger and my balled fingers against the bar. I was staring at his finger as he touched me and then let out a little whimper.
"We are looking for a way to bring you back," I said, placing my hand on his claw. The way he even snarled under his breath as if he was shocked at the sensation of touch broke my heart.
To others, he might be a monster, but to me, he was my mate.
"He needs us," Cora uttered.
I took a deep breath, rolled up my sleeve, and pushed my hand inside.
"You can drink my blood," I offered, and he instantly clawed his hand to my arm. I winced but forced a smile. Tears sprung down my eyes when I watched him lick my arm.
His touch never scared me for some reason.
"It’s okay, you can drink a little," I sniffled, even though I was told once he starts drinking, he is unable to keep control and does not know when to stop.
He licked my hand and then opened his mouth wide before he pulled away again.
"What happened?" I asked as I watched him walk away and sit on the ground looking like a gorilla. He looked so adorable for being such a monster in shape.
He turned his back to me, refusing to hurt me. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
