Chapter 529 I Will Not Give Up!
Chapter 529 I Will Not Give Up!
"Let her go!" Stefan used all his force to push Rafael away, still he was barely able to do it in front of
his strength.
Rafael had gone stronger! It must be due to the powers he was gaining from Hazel after feeding on
him for months.
When he was finally able to push Rafael away, he reached to hold the falling girl who was already on
the verge of losing her consciousness.
She fell immediately when he held her.
"Hazel! Are you okay!" What a foolish question to ask as he chided himself. She was ashen with hardly
any blood left in her body. Only God knows for how long Rafael was feasting on her. "You are a fool!
Even when i told you so many times that he is not your husband anymore, you did not stop him from
killing you!" he glared at the girl who was barely able to hear him speaking and was not able to speak
at all.
Still she tried to open her eyes and look for Rafael to check if he was better.
When she found him staring back at her with the crimson eyes again, she took a breath of relief and
smiled at him. But it only increased his guilt as he could still feel the taste of her blood on his lips. He
had nearly killed her! He did not stop even when he knew that his actions could have killed her.
He took a step back staggering and burning hatred for himself.
"You! Kill me before I hurt her further." he asked Stefan who turned his head to look at Rafael with
the intent to murder anyway.
"With pleasure!" he muttered as his nails grew wide and dark with pointed tips as if they were
but Rafael did not stand straight and took the stab.
As if his body moved unconsciously, he jumped higher on the tree and snarled at Stefan who tilted
his head and the desire to kill Rafael only increased.
"Why? You do not want to sacrifice your life anymore?" he snickered at the hollow regret of the
vampire, "it does not matter. I will still kill you." with that he jumped towards Rafael again. But Rafael
was sharper, stronger and faster.
Before Stefan could reach him, Rafael had already jumped on another tree and then another. He was
already standing many feet away from Stefan who gritted his teeth.
"You!" he would not let Rafael go!
"Stefan.. Stop it." he could hear the soft whispers of Hazel but he paid no heed to it. If the vampire
survived, not only would he kill Hazel but he would be a threat to everyone around them. He gritted
his teeth and attacked Rafael again who was only dodging his attacks and running away.
Rafael tried to stop himself. He knew that Stefan was right and his existence was dangerous for
everyone around him. But everytime, he tried to take the stab, he felt his body moving away
unconsciously.
"I.." he dug his nails deeper into the ground as he jumped and laid there. No matter what, he was not
going to dodge the stab anymore.
Stefan jumped too. He still could not trust Rafael, so he took slow but definite steps towards him
while whispering a spell to paralyze Rafael and a smirk formed on his lips.
"Finally..!" he jumped in the air with his long nails aiming on the chest of Rafael when Hazel finally
opened her eyes.
Before Stafan could stab Rafael's heart, she covered his body from hers and then glared at Stefan
who paused just an inch away from her body.
"What in the world are you thinking by defying my orders, Stefan?" she shouted in a cold voice as
she snapped at the young demon who called himself her familiar, her slave.
Stafan took a step back and his nails started to turn shorter until they completely disappeared.
"Didn't I tell you to stop? Are you rebelling against me?" she snarled as she looked at him with
contempt when he gritted his teeth.
"That vampire would have almost killed you if i had not come on time." he shouted in a loud voice as
if that was the only way to get rid of the frustration from his chest but the anger only rose in her
chest.
"So! Who the hell are you to interfere? We are husband and wife and it is the matter between us.
You have no right to meddle until you are asked to?" her cold words were like acid on his soul that
were burning him.
"He is dangerous Hazel! Not only for you, but everyone? Are you ready to spill the blood of the
innocents just to keep your obsession alive?" he held her arms and jerked her as if this action would
bring her mind back and she would be able to think wisely but she only jerked him away.
"Ha! Then come back to me when he had hurt anyone. For now, he had only tasted his wife which he
had done so many times in the past and this is his right." she did not wait for him to respond as she
turned and looked at Rafael who was shocked beyond words and torn.
His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at her concerned and worried face as she ran to him.
"Are you okay?" she asked in a soft voice as she scanned his body for possible injuries and was
relieved that there were none.
"I do not deserve your love, Hazel. I am not the Rafael you know, anymore. I am a demon you should
beware of! Stefan is right, you should kill me." he tried to explain to her though he knew that it was
not going to work.
"If you are a demon, then I have always been a demon. If I can control my urge to burn the world
and live a normal life, you would do it. I will not give up on you, Rafael."
