Chapter 07
We were all sitting down and having some small convos while eating in the cafeteria, the same one where I had seen Lust and had also met Wrath for the first time. Now the three of us sat down there having a peaceful meal.
It's been a week since the bathroom incident. The relationship between me and Lust have improved but he still hasn't given me an answer to the question I had asked him a week ago. We haven't fully kissed, just sneaking in a few blowjobs and handjobs courtesy of Lust. He's the one initiating it all, like he couldn't keep his hands and mouth off me but still doesn't want to fully be with me. It made me wonder if he's treating me like one of his boytoys.
It hurts honestly and being this close to him without touching him, holding his hand or kissing him at random times makes my chest burn, I also have to watch him flirt with other people. Wrath had said it's his nature but I don't believe it. Is it that he thinks I can't be enough for him? Whenever he initiates affections, I always try to turn him down but then he'd use the damn spell, leaving me breathless, panting and begging for more.
I didn't want him to feel guilty, so I didn't confront him about it but it's getting too much, if I'm being frank. What is confusing though is that he hadn't used the spell to force me to kiss him or have sex with him and it's not that he doesn't want me that way, no, I know he wants me just as much as I want him or even worse, his eyes says it all, so why is he holding back?
I was lost in thought when someone nudged me back to reality.
I turned to look at the person. A very pretty guy that I'm sure I've never seen before, his black eyes wide and round with innocence but reflecting absolute terror. His curly hair,a rare colour of indigo bouncing around his shoulder. Another freshman undoubtedly.
"Hello". He scratched his head, awkwardly.
"Hi, who are you?". I asked, puzzled as to why a total stranger would approach me.
"My formal name is Satiel". He whispered almost inaudibly and I just stared at him, the wheels in my head turning as I tried to place the name. I felt like I had heard it before. The guy is so gorgeous but fragile and soft looking, he looked severely malnourished but was radiating off a familiar aura.
I noticed then that both Samiel and Sariel are no more in sight.
Hold up…
Samiel, Sariel, Satiel…
No wonder his aura felt familiar and that was when I realised he was gesturing anxiously this whole time.
I glanced at where he was pointing at and felt the air leave my lungs.
Lust was on the floor, Wrath standing protectively in front of him, towering over a guy whose green eyes were shimmering and glowing.
I stood up immediately and rushed to the scene, hoping and praying to whatever God existed that Lust was not injured.
"Saviel stop this madness right now, he sent you here to keep an eye on us? fine but I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate you causing a scene". I heard Wrath yell in anger, his red eyes blazing with barely contained fury.
So that's why he's called Wrath? Also, this is the first time I'm seeing his eyes change colour.
Also Saviel?Who exactly are these people? With names I've never heard of, all looking like immortals. This Saviel guy is breathtaking to be honest. The green of his hair matches with that of his eyes.
I knelt beside Lust and shook him rapidly,"Sami, wake up".
There was no reaction at all and fear gripped me tightly.
"He'll wake up, don't worry". Wrath assured me while bending down beside me.
I felt chills when Saviel's green eyes landed on me.
"Oh my my, is this not Ashton baby". He threw his head back and barked out a laugh, loudly, as if he just told a very hilarious joke.
I froze in shock and surprise at how this stranger happens to know my name.
I looked around anxiously but no one seemed to have heard him.
"Don't worry honey, they can't hear us, so your secret is safe with me". He grinned widely, looking very friendly, except I got deep, freezing chills at his expression.
"Who are you?". I asked, urgency lacing my words.
But he ignored my question and instead pointed at Lust who's still laying still on the floor and Wrath who looks genuinely worried beside him,"They both know of your secret though, should I help you get rid of them to avoid future problems".
His grin stretched wide across his face and he looked like a gorgeous, green clown.
I turned to Wrath and he was looking down. We had gotten to know each other pretty well. He was a big softie with a tough exterior and will go to any length to protect Lust.
Samiel had confided in me before that the 'Night' brothers all grew up together but only him and Wrath are close, very close which is why their bond is strong and unwavering. They will both sacrifice anything just to save the other.
Turns out they had known all along who I truly am. But they hadn't used it to get close to me, they hadn't even mentioned it once as if they knew I didn't want to associate with the name.
"So what do you say to my proposal?". Saviel urged, looking a bit impatient.
"There's no need to". I waved him off, I can't even think of killing anyone not to talk of Wrath and Lust.
"That's a bummer. But I still want to be your friend". He smiled, looking sincere but there's something off about his entire demeanor.
"Saviel, what are you cooking now". Wrath narrowed his eyes at him but Saviel just smiled,
"Something delicious, Rabid Sar, something absolutely tasty". He swiped his tongue across his lips as if to emphasise his point.
