I stirred slowly , feeling every part of my body aching as if I had just run a marathon .

The familiar scent of Xander’s house greeted me before my eyes even fluttered open .

The soft silk of the bedsheets brushed softly against my skin , I scanned the room I wasn’t home yet and Xander or should I say the ‘ Dark One ‘ was perched at the edge of my bed , watching me intently.

I tried to push myself up and immediately , he was by my side , his eyes filled with warmth as he assisted me to a sitting position .

“ Easy ,” he murmured , gently supporting my back , not before stuffing pillows behind me and placing me gently on the stuffed pillows .

“ I was worried I hit you too hard .

How are you feeling ? he asked .

His voice was gentle , but I recoiled from his touch , feeling alarmed and bewildered at the same time .

“ What did you do to me ?” I demanded , my eyes narrowing in suspicion as I stared at him .

His expression flickered with hurt as he sighed , running a hand through his dark hair .

“ Nothing harmful ,” he said with a pleading tone .

“ I didn’t hurt you , Lyla .

I just put you to sleep .

I didn’t want you to leave while you were angry .

I mean you can be angry but be angry and stay .

I know I have kept a lot of things from you and I’m sorry .

I promise I’ll answer any question you have for me .

His tone was sincere , but I scoffed .

“ Right , putting me to sleep because I’m angry ? That sounds like something a reasonable person does , ” a bitter laugh escaped my lips .

I sat up fully now , pushing away from the dizziness that still clung to me .

“ I really have a knack for ending up with the wrong men , don’t I ? ”

“ I am nothing like him , Lyla ! ” he shook his head looking pained by at me earnestly .

“ You shouldn’t have been with him in the first place , you … lost your … ” he inhaled sharply “ You allowed him to have you first … but it’s not a problem ,” he added quickly .

“ You’re a beautiful woman and … ”

I didn’t know if I was still dreaming or if this was all a joke .

This man or boy … sitting in front of me , from all the stories we’ve heard , was supposed to be some big bad evil , why was he acting like this to me ? Was this a ploy to allow me to let my guard down before he killed me ?
