Chapter 22 No Touches
Valentine Winters P.O.V
I felt like I was having some kind of trauma; upheaval.
I could hear my own heart beat pumping fast.
It felt like my heart was beating out of my chest.
I didn’t want him anywhere near me.
He seemed puzzled; perplexed.
Not understanding, he opened and closed his mouth trying to say something and only came up with one word.
Lucifer Argent P.O.V
“What ?” I stood there astonished.
She didn’t want me anywhere around her ?
For truth be told, I just ordered them to put her in the cage to scare her. I didn’t know that the filthy mongrel could get loose.
It took a while for me to register what I had done and I ran out of the room bringing a gun along with me.
I didn’t know how but I heard her screams, calling me for help in my head.
I felt the pain she’s been through and it was excruciatingly painful. Once I got there, I just took out my gun and shot it straight into it’s head.
I left the room and went straight into the woods for some fresh air and for me to think this through.
Her voice kept ringing in my ear when I asked her what was she scared of as she answered that she was scared of;
Me.
Maybe she’s just in a short moment of sudden fear ? She just got battered by that filthy creature.
I messed up
Or
She’s messed up ?

i slid down the wall and just sat on the cold tiles.
I could’ve died in that cage and I should have.
Doesn’t he even care about me for a little bit ?
I remembered when he said that he doesn’t even care if I died in a hole.
My eyes turned watery but I just held it in blinking a few times.
I sighed and looked down.
Seeing that I was wearing a new set of clothes. It should be his as it smells just like him.
The door opened and my heart rate accelerated immediately.
I looked up to see Lucifer with a plate of food.
My stomach growled silently and my mouth watered at the sight and smell of food but fear surged through me when I saw him.
He placed it down on the bed and kept a glass of water on the table.
He sat down and started eating his food.
Then his eyes laid on me.
“Want some ?” He asked but I just shook my head no. No matter how hungry I am, I never take food from people even my own family.
“You sure ?” He assured.
I nodded.
How can he act like nothing happened ?
I frowned.

It’s been three weeks.
Three fucking weeks.
I gave her everything;
Food.
Shower.
Clothes.
My clothes to be precise.
The thing inside my head which I have recently known as my wolf had become restless.
He feels so agitated that she’s not even letting us touch her.
Even I was getting infuriated.
I was even being a little gentle towards her.
What more does she want from me ?
What does she want me to say ?
Valentine Winters P.O.V
I don’t think there would ever be a happy ending or a happily ever after in this story. I lost count of days since I’ve been here.
All of a sudden, he’s a little amiable to me but I’ll never plunge into that trap again.
Every time I move away from him, I could sense annoyance radiating from him. He scowls and glares at me for increasing the space and distance between us every time.
What does he want me to do ?
Snuggle and cuddle with him ?
Suddenly the door opened and in came Lucifer with a plate of food.
He placed it in front of me and sat down on the tiles too.
Wondering why he did that but I didn’t dare ask. I’ve also reduced my speaking with him. Every time I do, I’ll start to stutter.
I hate that.
“Eat.” He stated pushing the plate towards me.
“T-thanks.” I whispered.
I tried eating in small bites but my trepidation and nervousness intensify as I felt him just staring at me, burning a hole on my head.
I didn’t sat anything. What can I say ?
Once I finished, he placed the plate on the table.
He walked back towards me. What is he trying to do ?
He squat and leaned down to my level.
My heart beat accelerated instantly.
I tried to push my self further into the wall.
He had one of the angry-scowl face.
“You don’t want me to touch you, do you ?” He enquired.
My whole frame frame began to tremble as I nodded.
He raised one of his hands up towards my cheek unhurriedly, nearly touching it.
I closed my eyes tightly.
“Why ?” He questioned.
I didn’t know what to say. The only word that came out of my mouth was.
“I-I’m S-sorry.” I apologised. What was I apologising for ?
“No.” He growled.
