Dominion

Unspoken

---- ***Jacob's POV:

I closed my eyes as I try to calm myself despite how my hands are trembling while my chest compresses tightly.

I felt betrayed, but...

Was I? Really?

I tried so hard to think of reasons why she hid it from me.

I'm a demon of course. She may be afraid that I'll hurt her I find out the truth. Especially about being my rival against the mission we're both given. I have always threatened to kill that angel who will get in the way. I guess, I really did scare her. But, there are plenty of times she could've told me. We're always together and I could've accepted it if she told me about it herself and not finding out about it through another.

Figuratively speaking, I have bared my soul to her, the soul that doesn't exist. I have let myself trust a human again and this is what happens. 

I've been fooled twice already.

My gaze then fell on the dress she wore yesterday that's left lying on the couch. I picked it up and smelled and her sweet scent that still lingers on the cloth.

And then, all of a sudden, the intoxicating burning scent filled her room.

I sighed out loud, letting him hear how tiring he is for me because I knew he'll start to tempt me again, especially now with how I'm feeling.

"You thoughtlessly bared all your weakness to her and she used it against you so she could be an angel again." My old man scoffed. "How could you be so careless..."

"I'm not in the mood for you old man..." I sighed once again rubbing my head in frustration.

"I love you, Jacob." I recalled how she always says those words; her sweet tone, the melody it made in my heart... I opened my heart for her. It was the same as my mother's, it's comforting, nurturing but then it was a lie...

Does she hate me... all this time?

Did she just put up with me all the while I'm with her?

I can't be falling into the same situation all over again... it's unbearable.

Then, a familiar feeling of warmth in my eyes that I haven't felt since I was a kid is filling them. I closed my eyes to prevent it from falling while controlling my breathing. My chest tightens while my clutch upon her dress tightens as well. 

I feel like I've been shattered.

I love her... I f*****g love her... 

"Angels... you'll never know when they'll do something stupid. That's why it's easier to be bad, son." He chuckled.

"Leave me alone..." I whispered, trying to contain this pressure inside me,

"Now... Vengeance, the sweet karma. How would you like to revenge?" He asked as he tapped my shoulder.

I then looked at him and glared. My whole body stiffened and the dress I was holding begins to burn.

"I said, leave me alone," I growled deeply. His hand retreated back, raising them up as he stepped away.

"Okay... okay... I'll wait for that wrath to be cooked. But hey, how would that Gabe guy know about it, yeah?" He wiggled his eyebrows and grab my shoulders.

He pulled me slightly until his lips were inches away from my ears.

"You wouldn't find out about Rosé if it isn't for Gabriel." He whispered. He then leaned back and flicked his eyebrow while a wide grin is plastered all over his face.

Of course, how could I be so dense?

Then it fell into place; Why I always feel his presence around her before and why he came out of nowhere just as William came to her custody.

"I'm just concerned about you, son. Just call your old man if you feel helpless. You know, two against one isn't fair. I mean we're all about fairness here!" He continued.

"Go f**k yourself." I rolled my eyes and looked at the ash falling from my hands.

"Nah... there are plenty humans to f**k with, right? But they chose to f**k with you."

I need to hear this from her.

I can't just get even without hearing from her. 

She hid the truth from me... She had a good reason behind it.

"One more thing son, I learned that she has a weapon that could kill a demon. It's impossible, right? I mean a human killing a demon? They can cast us down but kill? She was an angel but she's human now and to top that off she's Raziel, the keeper of his f*****g secrets. All her knowledge... No wonder she's tasked for this." He chuckles in disbelief. 

"Unlike humans, if a demon dies, he would just disappear... you just dust away. No chance of going back to hell for you if she gets you."

"Leave me alone." I whispered.

"Why would she keep something like that if she loves you, huh?" He whispers back in my ear.

"Leave me..." I said, now anger's getting a hold of me.

"Don't turn your anger on me. I'm not the one who betrayed you." He chucked.

"Leave..." I muttered again, having a hard time breathing. Then, a sudden thirst crept in my throat, feeling it so dry. My stomach growls and felt an insatiable hunger engulfs my whole being.

"Looks like you need to feed son... it's been so long, isn't it? You need a virgin." he smirked.

---*** Rosé's POV :

I expected Jacob to appear here like he always did recently. I know  I was asking him space but, not having him near just as I was able to get used to it becomes weird for me. 

I phoned Thomas just to check on them and ask about Jacob but he said that he hasn't seen even his shadow after breakfast.

Oh well... he also needs his time alone.

Then I realized that I've also been so clingy to him lately.

But it's his fault. He let me get used to him with me all the time... I chuckled by the thought. And now, even if only half the day has passed, I miss him terribly.

By four in the afternoon, I went home and saw Gabriel and William at the lawn, playing catch with the puppy who couldn't get that huge ball into his mouth so he learned to just kick it along his forelegs..

"Welcome home, Rosé !" William cheerfully exclaimed and ran towards me then hugged me. Gabriel, on the other hand, kept that boxy smile he had and waved at me.

"Where's Jacob?" I asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him after I took a bath." the boy answered.

I went to his room but didn't find him. Then I went to my room, but he also wasn't there either. However, a scent filled my ears, a burnt scent and as I investigated, I saw black ashes on the floor by the couch.

I didn't know what it was but nevertheless, I cleaned it.

I then decided to take a quick shower and covered myself with a towel after I was finished. I looked in the mirror after I washed my face and as I looked, my gaze turns to my chest, looked at the beautiful rose mark he left on me.

I knew he wanted to go back to hell because he'll hunger for blood if he stays up here above the earth, his unquenchable thirst for my blood is making him suffer yet, he's willing to stay and dropped his mission for of me.

I never knew a demon could sacrifice his own just so he could be with the one he loves. And even if it's unspoken, I know he loves me. And he never failed to make me feel loved.

I smiled after I stared at it a few minutes while thinking of him.

When I got out, I immediately notice the sickening metallic scent of blood, fresh blood. Then, I saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees and head resting upon his palms.

"Jacob?," I called and all of a sudden, blood starts dripping to the floor from his hands

"Oh God," I hastened towards him and kneeled.

"What happened?" I asked anxiously. I cupped his cheeks and lifted his head slightly. His crimson orbs then met mine making me freeze instantly. This isn't like when we make love. Those eyes were far different, those eyes didn't have any emotions at all and he stares beyond me, at nothing. It's like he doesn't see me.

The blood that dripped was from his mouth, noticing his fangs are still bared. His shirt and hands were stained in fresh blood... a lot of it.

"Jacob?" I called him once again, voice cracking up, trembling along with my fingers that stroke his cheek softly.

I was trying to fight my fear for I cannot let it take over me while the man I love is clearly bothered with something.

"I was so thirsty... but they're not enough..." he muttered nonchalantly.

"Oh God, what did you do?" Despite how I was trembling, I continued caressing his cheek.

"What I usually do. I killed countless women because I thirst for you." He answered, crimson orbs staring intently at me.

"Wha- Jacob..." I started tearing up while feeling all the energy drained from me.

He's suffering because of me. And it hurts me to see him like this.

"Look what you made me do, Rosé..." he whispered as he reaches for my cheek. However, his crimson orbs turned grim, sending shivers down my spine.

"Or should I call you Raziel... the fallen."

My heart then dropped and felt like freezing cold water poured all over me when I heard him say my name.

How did he know?
