Chapitre 9: Blake
Lyra slowly opened her eyes into the darkness. she took several seconds to get adjusted to the dark and started moving but was devoid of any strength.
After trying for some more time, she got up and looked around her surrounding. As she tried to stand up, someone held her waist and pulled her down.
Lyra could feel a hard chest that was cold against her skin. she shivered and turned her face to look at who it was.
She was unable to see clearly but was able to make out that the silhouette belonged to a man and her eyes went wide. She pushed him away with all her might but was not even able to move him even an inch from her.
"Don't be scared, I'm not going to harm you" Lyra shuddered after hearing the man's low voice.
That voice was anything but gentle, it sounded very dangerous and it was more of a command than a request.
Lyra was not able to stop herself from getting sacred because the stranger's voice sounded like a devil's whispering.
After a few moments, she finally mustered up her courage and questioned, "Who are you? Where am I?"
The figure slowly moved away from her and the next minute, a fire lighted that brought some warmth to Lyra. She slowly started looking around her and realized that she was currently inside a cave with many rocky edges.
Lyra looked down and saw that she was lying in a grass nest similar to one in Lucas's hut.
While she was still assessing the cave, a cold finger lifted her face, "Did you forget that I'm around here? Is the cave more interesting than me" he rasped not at all liking her attention on something else other than him.
When Lyra got to see the man, she was stunned. He had ebony black hair which went below his shoulders and emerald green eyes which looked both stunning and feral. Following that, she observed his sharp nose and lips which were as red as blood. His body was tanned looking like melted gold with a scar across his chest. He was oozing masculine charm with a cold and serious face.
As she was appreciating his looks, the man was also doing the same.
In his century-long life, he never saw someone or something as beautiful as the girl sitting in front of him. After he was born, his parents died saving him and his other siblings as they were attacked by stray beasts so he had to grow up with hunger and loneliness. His siblings too died not long after his parents due to hunger as they were unable to fend for themselves and got killed by wild beasts.
He was always facing dangers and forgot about himself to find a mate. Filled with hatred for life which was so unfair to him, he started killing whoever crossed him and went on to become powerful to destroy everything.
He struggled and fought every day to cross the five-star mark and become immortal. There were only a few in the past who were able to cross that. Having five stars was already great because they could become beast kings but he had nothing better to do so and crossed five stars. Thereupon he became snake king and liked being able to control many of his kind.
But after some time, he got bored with that too and left another snake to handle his position. He then started wandering around different places to feel some emotion or something to interest him and a century passed like that.
Later he forgot why he was even alive and started to search for the reason to continue living but shortly after that, he even stopped thinking.
That is until he saw this female. He came across many females while wandering around but nobody piqued his interest. And first of all, he too didn't want to leave his descendants in this world.
But the female in front of him was able to grab his attention the moment he saw her. She was bathing in the water he was in and at first, he was annoyed as someone disturbed his sleep.
When he got to the surface, he felt his cold heart thunder inside his chest. Blake saw the most beautiful being ever with wavy golden locks that swayed in the wind and eyes like that of a sapphire which captivated him in just a glance.
Then his eyes narrowed at her naked body and he swore that it was a sight to behold. Full breasts followed by a narrow waist and a round bottom. He felt that she was the epitome of beauty.
His mother was from the mermaid tribe and because of his legacy, he remembered her being more beautiful than the ones in the land. But the female in front of him was incomparable to anyone. That's why he mistook her to be from the mermaid tribe and pulled her inside the water but after seeing her struggle to breathe, he realized that was not the case and took her out of the water with him to his cave.
A few minutes later, he talked "What is your name?"
Lyra came out of her thoughts and answered "I think I drowned in the water. Did you save me?"
"Name?" he asked in his deep voice.
"I'm Lyra. what is yours?" she said meekly.
"I'm Blake, And I will call you Lilly" he declared making her frown, "But I'm Lyra"
"Lilly is my mother's favorite flower so I'll call you Lilly" he was not going to compromise on this because he too liked that flower and the female in front of him was also beautiful as a flower.
Lyra's mouth twitched listening to him. she wanted to refute him, but gave up because the most important thing now was to get back to the beast city. she knew that Lucas will be worried, "I know you were the one who saved me. Can you please tell me the way to the beast city?"
Blake frowned and said "You are not going anywhere. You will stay here with me from now on"
Lyra was shocked to hear that. what is he talking about? Does he mean to keep me here by force? she suddenly got anxious thinking he was bad news and dashed towards the entrance of the cave.
Blake was surprised to see her run towards the entrance and smiled mischievously. He turned into his half-beast form, caught her with his snake tail coiling around her, and brought her to face him while flicking his tongue out.
Seeing this bizarre thing, Lyra screamed at top of her lungs but didn't dare to move. Tears streamed down her eyes like a waterfall. A giant black python was holding her hostage and being scared of reptiles for her whole life didn't help her current situation.
She started pleading "Please don't do anything to me. I'll not run please, so don't kill me"
Blake was enjoying her warmth in his arms but due to her screaming, he frowned a little. He didn't like noises but this little kitten was screaming near his ears and to stop her, he brought his face near her and pressed his lips against hers.
Lyra's tears too froze after that. She was being kissed by a snake and she felt like this was a nightmare. 'Why is something like this happening to me? Someone save me!'
