Chapter 73: _Can’t Handle It Anymore

Chapter 73: _Can’t Handle It Anymore My eyes fluttered open as I struggled to sit up thanks to the exhaustion that kept me on the bed. I rubbed my head as images of last night flashed through my head in quick succession. After Kaelos’ weird reaction to having fangs, I was completely distracted from the sex and let him eat me out. I remember reaching an orgasm... But that was it. I don’t recall Kaelos penetrating me. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Kaelos walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist. It was then that I remembered another detail. This was his room. "Oh, good. You’re awake." He muttered when he saw me, his expression plain as he walked into his walk-in closet in search of clothes. I subconsciously gripped the sheets of the bed but plastered a smile on my face before I greeted him. "Good morning." He merely responded with a soft grunt before walking out with a silver suit and a pair of high-fashion black shoes. I watched as he silently dressed up in front of the human-sized mirror in the room, not even bothering to spare me a glance as he did. I couldn’t take it anymore... "Kaelos, about last night." I began with a low voice, adjusting my sitting position before using the bed sheets to cover my nakedness. "I– I don’t know why you acted so weird about what happened but–" "What happened, Odessa?" Kaelos queried with a curious tone, glancing over his shoulder to stare at me. I was taken by surprise, blinking awkwardly before I found the words to respond. "Y– Your... Your fangs. You almost marked me and freaked out about it. Heck, we didn’t even complete the sex, and I’m sure you’re unsatisfied." Kaelos scoffed, shaking his head before he fully swerved his body to face me with a plain expression on his face. "Nothing happened last night, Odessa. Nothing." He blurted plainly, taking a step forward. "Or did it?" What the heck is this?! "Kaelos, y– you’re being weird and you’re getting me confused all over again." I stuttered, my voice getting weak. "Did I do something wrong? We’ve never had a problem with sex and now you–" "I’m done with this conversation, Odessa," Kaelos uttered, raising a hand to stop me from talking any further. "And I advise you to do the same. Please." The way he said ’please’ was almost desperate, as if he was trying too hard to run away from something. But it was also demanding, like a threat and I wasn’t about to test his boundaries or my luck with that cold look in his eyes. Anyway, Kaelos didn’t say anything else and walked out of his room, leaving me on the bed to gawk silently at the door when he closed it behind himself. After several seconds, I sighed heavily, shaking my head with a wry smile on my face. "I can’t deal with this confusion anymore." I blurted, stepping out of the bed and about to walk toward the door when it swung open. My heart jumped into my throat as I quickly used my arms to cover my breasts while the bed sheets covered my lower parts. To my surprise and annoyance, the person who stepped into the room turned out to be Celine who had a scowl on her face until her gaze landed on me. She sniggered, closing the door behind her before walking closer to the bed. "Well, well, well..." She remarked, shaking her head. "Kaelos should be careful of how much he bangs you. That could lead to you giving birth to an abominable hybrid, and no one would want that." I balled my hands into fists, clenching my jaw before I spat without thinking. "Get out, Celine." Suddenly, before I knew what was happening, she got in front of me and wrapped her hand around my jaw, causing me to gasp in shock. A stinging pain surged through my face, causing me to groan as Celine brought her face closer to mine. "It seems you’ve grown balls. This is my husband’s room. The man who you’ve blinded with your magic." She muttered with an icy tone in my ears, her eyes glinting with the same coldness. I brought my hands to her hand, wrapping them around her wrist before I sneered. "You’re his ex for crying out loud! Let him go already. B– Besides, it’s not my fault that the two of you got–" Before I could complete that last sentence, Celine snarled. "Shut up!" Without warning, she flung me to the ground, causing me to fall on top of my right elbow. I yelped in pain, gritting my teeth as I struggled to crawl away from Celine who stood above me like a beast. She had her teeth bared and glared at me before she continued. "I still had a chance to mend things. Even if he didn’t end up with me, do you know the kind of humiliation I’ve suffered because he got married to a lowly witch like yourself?" My eyes stung with hot tears but I didn’t dare let them fall. I channeled all those emotions into rage instead, glaring at Celine with pure spite as she continued with her ranting. "I should’ve been the one sitting beside Kaelos last night. I should’ve been the one to wear that gown and..." She paused, her gaze falling on something behind me. I glanced back to see what she was looking at and gulped when I saw the blood-red gown on a couch. Dear gods... "... And now look at it lying there as a sign of all the atrocities you’ve committed with him all this time." Celine’s voice lost all emotion and was completely cold and plain. "I swear, by the time I’m done with you, you’ll–" Fortunately for me, before she could do anything, the door swung open and her mother, Madame Greyheart, strutted into the room. "Celine! There you are." She yelled in a panic, running up to her daughter and forcing her to step away from me. "I told you not to take things too far. What do you think Kaelos will do if you kill his pet?" Celine seemed to struggle against her hold, her cold gaze still fixed on me like a monster about to go feral. "She’s not worth it." Her mother whispered into her ears, causing her to relax. The two of them eventually walked out of the room, with Madame Greyheart glancing at me with contempt before they banged the door behind them. As soon as they left, my elbow stung with more pain, making me fear the worst. Was it broken? I gritted my teeth as I slowly caressed it while my breathing increased. "I have to get the heck out of this hell hole."
