“Yeah… but Legend has always been cr?—”

“I’ll slit your throats if you utter another word in my home.”

“Meany,” Wilder whispers.

“Yeah… meany,” Gannon cosigns, and the blood in my body literally boils to the point my body physically heat up as the door shuts behind them, but I can’t calm down…

It always seems to happen around them. When I’m around them, the need to kill gets stronger… a thirst for blood overwhelms me. I can’t explain it, but I want to rampage through the world and kill as many people as possible. My thoughts cease when a man and woman who are in my employ come in giggling.

“Did you see he brought some bitch home?”

“Yes, I did. I was surprised, but I’m wondering when he’ll kick her ou— Oh! Milord I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were there.” They both bow. I cock my head to the side, smiling as they look up and fall onto the floor with a look of horror on their face as walk closer to them, fully shifting.

“Repeat those words …” I growl, blinking, feeling my eyes go red.

“I… n-no my Lo—” I grasp her face, claws digging into her jawbone.

“Oh, you’re unable to speak without a jaw, huh?” I grin wide as fuck and I can see her brown pupils grow flames in them as she lets out a horrifying scream.

But before it reaches my baby’s ears, I will a barrier around us and rip her jaw off. Flames erupt from her eyes as she burns from the inside out.

Next to me, the male bows, trembling.

“M-My L— Guuuhhhhn aaaaccckkkkkkkggguuuu!” he gurgles as I crush his throat and use my nails to sever his head from his body before standing and looking at my hand.

My anger… it’s worse…

I look up at the ceiling as my heart beats loud and hard as the desire to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill comes over me, but I cut my eyes to the direction of our room when I hear her shift in bed and snore softly…Jessica…

My heart rate calms down and the fire in my veins cools.

My baby…I need her.I take one step, then two… passing by two maids.

“Clean up the trash. Make it so my wife can’t even spot a spec of blood in her home.”

“As you wish, Milord!” They bow, running over to drag the bodies away. I flap out my wings and fly up to the landing, shocking the other maids and causing them to bow as well, but I don’t care about them.

Just as I’m about to make my way over to the room where my Little Baby is, my phone pings and I glance at it, scowling.

I don’t remember… (the owner of illicit): ILLICIT. Tuesday… 11AM

I grunt, shaking my head.Yeah, I thought I would be able to work at that club but… it’s better to quit and spend my time watching Jessica.

Working used to make me feel alive, but now… if I’m not with Jessica, I’m empty and dead inside. It’s not worth it.

I shift back to normal, somehow riding myself of the blood on my person, and open the door to where my wife is. I swallow, seeing her sinful body tangled lusciously in the white sheets, only showing her ass and slightly muscular yet petite back.

I go inside and lick my lips, staring in awe of her… everything about her is perfect. Her braids are twisted around her while one seems to play a dangerous game of peekaboo, disappearing underneath the covers in the line of her ass crack.

Her skin radiates like a brown diamond shimmering gold in the sunlight, teasing me to come over and run my tongue all over her. Her beauty is beyond words, choking me up, leaving tears to fall from my eyes.

I toss the phone aside and my Little Baby finally wakes up and smiles brilliantly at me, making my heart melt.

“Is everything okay with your brothers?” she asks, and I nod, choked up from her beauty. “Good, then come here.” She holds her hands out to me and I crawl right into her arms, pulling her to me, heart hammering in my chest.

Lucky… blessed… unworthy.

All three words come to mind, but the most important and the only one I give a fuck about as I take a step toward my fate, my destiny, my woman… my wife.
