Cannon kept to his word as promised, he stayed right by her side while she slept. It’s been hours but to him, it felt like nothing so long as he had her by his side.


    While he admired his bunny lost in thought, three knocks came on the door grabbing his attention.


    Normally, he won’t have a response but then he could tell things ain’t alright. ording to the roles he’s ced for his people, a three knock should be a sign to indicate an emergency, or else, it shouldn’t be heard.


    “Come in!” He orders a gaze never leaving his bunny’s.


    A dark brown hair guy walks in, he immediately lowers her head in respect before saying, “Don, they are back”


    Cannon silently listens, his tomb caresses Audrey’s cheeks. He was enjoying the smoothness of her skin.


    “And are in multitude. Seems like they are ready and determined to fight till they see your permanent downfall” the guy adds.


    “How foolish of them to think they can win against me” Cannon snorts, “I don’t have time for them, as you can see I’m taking care of my bunny” he adds.


    The guy almost choked upon hearing Don talking as though he’d been charmed or cursed with love.


    He cleared his throat, “Don, they ain’t ordinary this time around. Without you our victory isn’t guaranteed ” he said.


    Cannon groans in dissatisfaction, now is the time he needs Baston but he’s not well enough to stand on his feet.


    How sure is he that Audrey will be fine when he’s gone?


    Well, she will be only if he goes out there and sweeps them off his part in no time.


    “Go on, I’ll be there shortly” he orders. The guy nods and leaves.


    He then turns to his sleeping bunny, “I’m sorry I’d have to go, but I promised to be back in no time” he leans down and ces a kiss on her forehead before climbing off the bed and leaving.


    Outside, ck Gun and Wendigo stood alongside their minions. There were so many that one could say they were going against a Goliath.


    Cannon walks out, a deadly smirk forming on his thin lips, eyes changing into red before taking their original golden color.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “You never learn, how foolish!” Cannon said coldly, his casual mood was long gone as the atmosphere became heavy and hot.


    He didn’t like the fact they made him break his promise to his bunny over useless matters.


    “Only a fool will hide behind a rock for protection rather than fighting heads on” ck Gun snorts, meeting Cannon’s hard re.


    “Hope you are ready? Cause on this day, you will journey yourself back to where you came from and Audrey, that little bunny of yours will be mine to devour and fuck” Wendigo whines excitedly.


    “I dare you to touch her while I’m here!” Cannon grinds on his teeth in anger. Wendigo indeed has no fear to speak so rawly about Audrey before him.


    Wendigoughs heartily, “Exactly what I said, you won’t leave to see me do that to her” He exins with pride.


    The anger Cannon was feeling was enough to summon fire from the dark cloud which came crashing on Wendigo and his men but to his greatest surprise, none got hurt.


    It was like there were protective bubbles over them preventing his hell mes from reaching them.


    “Surprise!!!” Wendigo exims, face blooming in excitement. Only now he believes in Aurelia’s useless magic she’s been boasting about.


    “How do you like that?” He continued. As annoying and full-mouthed Wendigo is, he never stops mocking Cannon.


    “Enjoy while itsts” Cannon mutters under his breath andunches a direct attack.


    Their shield can only protect them from his powers but not from him.


    Seeing himing, Wendigo and ck Gun immediately push themselves behind letting their minions take over the fight.


    They knew better than to throw their lives into those nasty ws of his without thinking.


    Cannon’s men tagged behind him, they were ready to fight to their death alongside their master.


    While they fight and kill each other, Audrey seems to be having a nightmare as she moves back and forth on the bed, sweat oozing out of her face.


    “No! Please, don’t leave me” she kept on murmuring in her sleep, tears rolling down her eyes wetting the bed as she struggled in distress.


    “No! Cannon!!!” She screams out in terror as her eyes snap open fright visible in them.


    She sobs non-stop, unable to believe if it’s real or it’s just another nightmare. Her head quickly snapped to the side where Cannoty but she was weed by a space.


    Her heart twists in her chest, and fright grips her heart at the realization her dreams could be true. She forced herself up from the bed and was about to run out of the room when a strange voice held her to her spot.


    “Why do you wish to sacrifice your life for someone who’s not worth it?” Aurelia spoke out, reluctantly sitting on the window.


    ” Who are you? ” Audrey stutters, taking two steps back. She knows this room belongs to only her and Cannon, so who is she and how did she get in?


    ” You should prioritize yourself more” Aurelia kept on talking, not bothering to answer her question.


    “How did you get in here? ” Audrey kept on asking.


    ” Why ignore it all just for love? It doesn’tst and all you do will hurt you at the tail end ” Aurelia pressed on.


    ” Don’te any closer, I will scream! ” Audrey rebuked seeing her attempting toe closer.


    ” Can you? Will you? ” Aurelia snorts knowing she can’t even if she wants to.


    ” You can’t do anything without him, you are nothing but a bunch of dependent bitch” She continues.


    This got Audrey frowning, ” I don’t know who you are or what you want from me. All I ask is that you let me be” She was dead serious but it was as though her seriousness didn’t mean anything to Aurelia.


    “as stupid as your foolish mother” Aurelia bobs her head in pity.


    ” I won’t stand here and watch you speak I’ll of my mom” Audrey yells angrily.


    ” Says the person who is deadpan in love with her mother’s killer and can’t give her mom the freedom by avenging her death” Aurelia mocks.


    ” And who are you to tell me that? I do what I want and what to do. Shut your crab and stay away from matters that don’t concern you” Audrey cries out as the image of her mom being struck by lightning floods her head.


    ” Yet you say you loved her” Aurelia shakes her head in pity.


    ” Go away, get out of my head ” Audrey cries out in terror.


    ” Why? Am I making you feel so guilty? Am I reminding you of the selfish and stupid child that you are? ” Aurelia was enjoying tormenting the so-called angel.


    “No, go away. Stop it, I don’t want to see anything” Audrey falls to the ground in tears and sweat never stops streaming down her face.


    “Does it make you feel guilty? Do you want me to help? I can be a very big help to you” Aurelia clicks her fingers.


    Audrey let out a sharp and loud scream in pain, her head felt as though it would explode with how things were just running to and fro, sending waves of electricity through her body.


    “Stop, please, stop!” She begs in pain, holding her head facing the floor.


    “Why? You are regretting it already!” Aurelia mocks, taking steps closer.


    Audrey forced herself to wake up, and the moment she did her gaze caught sight of a dagger on the floor. She quickly grabs it and points it to her.


    “Don’t any closer,” She warns with a serious tone, forcing her to stand on her feet


    “Else what? You’ll kill me?” Aurelia let out a mocking chuckle, “You can’t kill, that’s because you weren’t designed to. I bet you, you can’t” Aurelia said,ing even closer.


    ” I promise I’ll stab you to death if you daree any closer ” Audrey was deadpan serious, and willing to kill if that’s all it takes to get thedy out of her head and space.
