Chapter 51: Mislead

Best novel online free at novel35.com or SweetNovel.Net

Nevaeh was stunned by what was written within the pages of the book. When they had said the book would provide the answers she needed, she had not thought this would be it. She had expected something different, something more realistic and believing to the human mind. But this.... this wasn't what she expected.

A world of divine and dark creatures filled with paranormal powers wasn't what she expected for an answer.

Angels, demons, witches, immortals, realms and dimensions, creatures that have gone extinct weren't the answers she needed.

Or was it?

A confused and puzzled look contorted her face as she looked at the book before her. Her slender fingers kneaded her temples. She could feel a headache coming. Her eyes lowered to the book again, and a wry yet dismissive sigh rolled off her lips.

This was insane! They must be toiling with her. She hissed and closed the book. Even the title said Mythology, so what did they take her for? A fool?!

The things written in the book didn't exist. They couldn't. They were myths, and old wives tales told to intrigue or scare children. So what did Dale mean by this? She'd be a fool to believe any of these. She slammed her hand against the book as she jerked to her feet, her eyes burning with anger. Anger of being misled.

'Read with an open mind.' She remembered his words from this morning, but she shook them out of her head. This wasn't right. There was nothing to be open minded about, she hissed and stormed out of the library.

Nevaeh was surprised to see Dale in the room the moment she opened the door. He was lazily seated on the side of the bed, with his elbows resting on his thighs, and his head hanging low. He turned towards her the moment she opened the door and walked into the room.

His observant eyes rested on her face before he spoke, "Are you done reading for the day?" Nevaeh couldn't help the glare that she directed at him after hearing his question.

She stared at him with sting eyes before heading for the dressing room.

"Love?" He called after her, but she ignored him. Nevaeh felt like throwing something at him. She wished she had brought that book from the library, so she could toss it at him, and he could choke on the answers he wanted her to get from it.

"Love, are you angry?" He asked while he followed her into the dressing room. She turned to him with deeply angry eyes.

"Engel, I want to change out of my clothes." She told him, but the man cluelessly walked deeper into her closet and closer to her.

"Tell me wife, did I do something this time?" He asked. Nevaeh felt like spitting out blood and venom at him for asking such a question. She had spent hours going through some meaningless book because him and his so called 'sister' had told her to do so.

No! This was all on her. Shame on her for reading page after page after the very first one had proven to be filled with crazy stuff. What had gotten into her in the first place? They weren't the stupid ones, she was!

"Engel, leave my closet, I want to change." She snapped at him.

"Then do it, after all you're my wife, and there's nothing I won't get to see later." He boldly replied. Nevaeh looked at him with widened eyes, but the serious look on his face told her he wasn't kidding.

"Engel!" She called his name with an even more angry tone.

"Are you shy?" He asked. "You've seen me almost naked, so can't be shy now." He shamelessly cocked a brow at her. Nevaeh could see the mocking smile in his eyes, and it angered her even more.

He sighed when he realized he wasn't helping the situation and became a bit more serious about the situation on ground, "Tell me what the problem is. Did I do something wrong?"

Do something wrong? She scoffed as she glared at him. Yes he did!.

"Yes, you did." She snarled at him. "You and your crazy sister, or whoever she is, thought it wise to make a mockery of me by making me read through that non..nonsense book. Was this some kind of joke to you?" Her angry brows flared up, and her brown eyes burned with something he hasn't seen before.

"If you didn't want to tell me the truth, why mislead me and waste my time, like It hasn't been wasted enough? Engel that was not fair!" She yelled at him. "You don't expect me to believe such things do you?" She asked but continued before he could even answer.

"Demons and witches? Are those even real?"

"What if they are?" He suddenly replied making her to pause. She briefly looked at him in silence as if contemplating on his words.

She sighed and shook her head. "That's not true. I don't believe you." She told him. "Say I believe you, what then are you trying to say? That you're not human? That I'm married to what, a demon, a wizard, Lucifer?! An angel?"

"What if I am?" He said. His voice was intense and firm making Nevaeh Intensely look at him. She watched as he took a step closer to her.

"What if I'm not human but one of those things you've listed." He paused and looked at her narrowed eyes.

He took further steps towards her till he completely closed the space between them. "What if I'm not an ordinary man?" He asked as he held up her chin with his hand. She tried to turn away from him, but he whispered, "Look at me." His voice felt compelling, she couldn't help but hold his gaze, her eyes deeply staring into his bewitching ones, and just like a dream Nevaeh saw his eyes change. Her eyes widened and she tried to blink but she couldn't.

He leaned closer to her ear and whispered. "I'm something you might not want to imagine, and you also once were." Nevaeh's eyes danced back and forth as they searched his, while desperately trying to decipher the meaning of his words, but the more she looked at him the more his face showed the seriousness that it shouldn't have.

This was a joke right?

He gently grazed her cheeks and said, "You should read again, Angel. But this time, be more open minded." Nevaeh stiffly watched as he brushed his hand through her hair, placed a kiss on the top of her head before walking away.

Nevaeh felt her head spin and her feet wobble. She felt she was about to fall. She couldn't believe what he had just....

But wait! His eyes, they had really changed colors, and she had not imagined that? Nevaeh felt she was about to go crazy.

No! This wasn't real! It couldn't be!

Nevaeh was surprised to see the book waiting by her bedside table when she came out of the dressing room fully changed. Her eyes glanced across the room, but there was no sign of Dale. What was the meaning of this? Why has he kept it there?

Her eyes darted back to the book, and she felt a weird and funny feeling envelope her heart. It was fear. Why was she suddenly feeling scared?

Nevaeh stood rooted to the spot with her eyes fixed on the book. The book suddenly felt like a can of worms she feared to open. The dread of what lies within, or rather the fear of believing what lied within was real paled her skin and ate a hole in her stomach. This wasn't what she had felt when she saw and held the book for the first time. Then, she had been curious, but now...not anymore.

An image of Dale's changing eyes flashed through her mind and her body reactively stiffened. She slowly looked around just to ensure she was alone in the room.

'What if I'm not human, but one of those things you've listed?' His voice came running through her head again and Nevaeh felt the earth was spinning, as the feeling boring a hole in her stomach suddenly intensified. She felt she might throw up whatever undigested food she still had left in her system.

This was far more crazy than anything she had experienced and expected. Non-humans? The only non-human living thing she knew were animals, so how was she to keep her mind open to the possibility of other creatures existing in this world?

What possiblity was she even looking at? A demon? A wizard or something far worse? Her hands slowly fidgeted, she gripped the side of her dress.

What has she gotten herself into? What has her mother gotten her into?

Was she to go on with this madness, accepting everything she encountered, or was she to discard it and move on like it never happened?

.....

Kindly drop a review for the book today. It would mean a lot to me.

Thank you.
