The Hybrid King and His Little Witch

Chapter 6

SEREAPHINA

When I rushed into Mr. Thorne’s office, I only wanted to plead with him for him to include me on the list. After arguing with his staff outside, It must have attracted his right man’s attention because he rushed outside and as the security team was explaining why I was kicking and screaming, I sneaked behind his back and rushed into the largest office I laid my eyes on but what I saw made me frozen in place.

The moment our eyes locked, he stumbled and clenched his chest like he was in agony.

He looks in pain and his eyes are a different color. I watch as he looks up at me and a scream reaches my ears. It’s only after a while that I realize that it’s actually coming from my mouth.

I don’t know what to do, should I help him or run away?

‘Run away!’ The same voice from earlier screams in my head again.

I walk slowly towards him going against every warning known to mankind. Maybe helping him will help me score some points right? A normal person would run and hide but I’m as dumb as they come so instead of running, I walk forward, watching each step carefully.

“Are you okay?” I whisper.

My feet move so slowly that it’s like walking on eggshells. His eyes are still a bright yellowish color and if I’m not mistaken he keeps changing the eye color. Maybe it’s a sickness or a condition. Or maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Is that why he's grabbing his chest and growling like this?

“Get the f**k away from me!” His voice breaks through my thoughts like a sharp blade but I don’t stop. I can’t stop. It’s like being pulled by a magnetic field. No matter how hard I try, my entire body wants to walk towards him.

It’s strange how seconds ago I was debating if I should run or walk forward but now it’s like I’m being pulled forward. Despite his warning, I reach forward to try and touch his chest, I don't know why but that’s all I can think of.

I should be afraid. I should run and scream for help, But I’m not afraid, if anything, it’s like my heart is aching at the sight of him in pain.

Before I can place my hand on his chest, he pushes me away.

The impact is so hard that I land on my ass against his door,

“Are you stupid?” He growls.

“I said stay the f**k away! Or do you want to be eaten?” He starts to move slowly towards me.

It’s like my brain wasn’t functioning and suddenly, someone has turned it on. When I touch my head, I notice that there is blood on my hands.

Looking up, I realize that Mr. Thorne is not where I left him before he pushed me away. Before I can turn my head, I feel him next to me. I slowly turn my head and there he is!

With his eyes still a yellow color!

My heart almost jumps out of my chest when I see him reach out his hand and wipe his thumb off my face before he whispers,

“You’re bleeding.” He growls.

He takes the blood and wipes his fingers clean with his mouth and that throws me off!

“What the f**k are you doing!” I scream as I try to escape from where he pinned me down.

“So sweet.” He smiles, his eyes now flashing between yellow and red.

I feel my heart jump into my throat. I try to run but my fights turn to nothing because he grabs my wrists and pins them up and sinks his teeth into my neck.
