Cory left the house (Secrets uncovered)
Although I was bold, I still got cold feet. I faked an innocent face, and I gently tapped Luna’s on her shoulder.
She raised her head and looked at me curiously.
“Baby girl, what happened? Why is your father mad at me? Please talk to me, what did I do wrong?” I asked with a sad voice. I could see the surprised look on his face, I guessed he wasn’t expecting me to ask Luna that question.
He thought that I was going to scramble in fear. But what he didn’t know was that I was more experienced than him in this game, in fact, I had been playing it long before he was born.
It’s either I don’t confess in front of Luna, or we both expose ourselves in her presence.
“Mum, I am sorry. But, I know why my father is acting like this. A lot of things happened in the club, he must be angry about it,” Luna replied and bowed her head. “I know that I have disappointed you, you are also mad at me right now. I am so sorry for lying to you and am also sorry for changing my dress at your back, I promise to change for the better,” She apologized, and promised.
“It was then I realized that she had changed her decent gown to a revealing one. I didn’t scold her, because I knew that she must have learned her lesson.
I gently placed my lips on her forehead, and I kissed her nose.
“Ella, Luna can’t remember what happened earlier today, I mean after the time you went to her room to pray for her,” Cory announced, and his words surprised me.
He didn’t even bother to waste any time.
“What do you mean, by the time I went to her room? Also, I don’t remember any special thing happening,” I replied, a little bit anxious.
“Oh please, don’t give that bullshit! What do you mean by you don’t remember? What exactly don’t you remember?” Cory yelled at me, and I could see the confusion on Luna’s face, and she looked at me in shock.
Cory and I don’t fight, so I guess she was shocked to see us quarreling.
I didn’t plan for this either.
I know that he was angry at me, but I expected him to act mature in his behaviors, if not for me, but because of our daughter.
“Mum, Dad, is everything alright? Am I the cause of this problem?” She asked way too many questions, and I bowed my head
in shame.
Cory didn’t bother to answer her, he just kept staring at me angrily.
“Luna dear, we are alright, okay!” I assured her, in my mind I was wondering if that was true.
“Now go to your room, take a shower, and rest for a while. I will come and join you very soon. Also, I’ve prepared your favorite meal,” I coaxed my daughter, and she happily kissed my cheeks before she left.
After making sure that she was out of our sight, I turned to face my angry husband.
He looked really upset, and his eyes were demanding an answer to his thousand questions, my eyes were also demanding answers from him.
“Who are you, Ella? What are you!!” He yelled at me with an over-demanding voice.
“And who are you, Cory Biber? What breed or species are you? Who are your parents? And what are your sibling’s names?” I asked with an evil smile on my face.
Coey looked shocked, and his expression gave him away. He looked at me in surprise.
I smiled and walked closer to him.
He stood there like a paralyzed man, his eyes were blinking, his mouth was moving but no words were coming out of it.
“Wait– what– what.. d… do.. you… mean? What are you talking about?” he stuttered after a few minutes of silence. I know that he was shocked, but he tried his best to hide his true expression.
“I don’t mean anything, neither am I talking about anything. I just want to know who my husband is, I want to know who you are! Who have I been giving my body and love to?” I replied and wrapped his arms around his neck seducingly.
Cory could not talk, and he kept staring at me in horror. “You must be mistaken, you are surely confusing me for someone else,” he stammered and wanted to leave the room, but I held him tightly.
“Are you a vampire or a warlock?” I asked him at once, and the question caught him off guard.
His eyes widened, and I needed not to be told what it meant. It is either he is a vampire or a warlock.
“Oh, tell me!” I demanded. “Are you a vampire? Have I been giving my body all these years?” I asked him and immediately removed my hands from his neck.
“L– look– I… I- don’t –k –know… What you are talking about..” he stuttered and tried to touch me, but I hit his arms off me at once.
“You lied to me! You lied to our daughter! You told me that your parents stood you from aging, and I believed it like a fool would. You were a vampire all these years! Why didn’t you tell me? How dare you lie to me! Do you take me for a fool!” I yelled at him angrily. I know that I also had my secrets, but I never expected him to lie about his real identity.
“Wait! Why are you yelling at me? Don’t you deserve to be yelled at also? You also lied to me! You also kept a huge secret from me! So stop acting like a saint! Stop acting like the innocent one, you are not innocent!!” he said, and hissed at me.
I was surprised, I didn’t expect my husband to behave that way.
“Cory, I am here on a mission! All our life together is part of my damn mission! So why can’t I keep that away from you?!” I asked him angrily.
Cory looked shocked. It was then I realized what I had just said, and I immediately felt regretful about it.
But what is done is done, and it can no longer be changed.
“You mean that our relationship, and the love we shared was all part of your mission? What mission exactly!!! Our seventeen years of marriage was all part of your mission!!” he asked with a hurt voice, tears welling up in his eyes.
“W… well… I– I– sorry,” I apologized. I don’t even know why I apologized, and I regretted it immediately. My apology ruined our relationship greatly.
“You are sorry!? Ella, you have been playing with my heart and emotions all these years, and all you can say is sorry!! Are you for real!!” he yelled at the top of his voice.
And I secretly prayed that his screaming didn’t wake up my daughter.
I wanted to comfort him, I really did, but I just couldn’t move, I felt tied to the floor!
I continued to stare at him, and we both cried out our hearts.
After a while, he paused and looked at me. “Yes, you are right, I am a vampire,” he confessed and stood up. He cleaned his eyes and looked at me eyeball to eyeball.
“But tell me, who are you!?” he asked with a challenging voice.
“I am Ella, your wife,” I replied, and he burst into hysterical laughter.
“I don’t have a wife, at least, not anymore,” he said and smiled at me. “Who are you?” he asked but this time around his voice was husky and harsh.
“I am Lora, a guardian angel, and I am sent by the moon goddess messenger herself. We protect the pure and chosen ones!” I replied soberly and smiled at once.
Cory’s Pov
“Guardian angel? Moon goddess? As in werewolf goddess?” I asked and looked at her in surprise.
I was surprised, and my eyes quickly scanned her from head to toe.
“Yes, the moon goddess, as in the werewolf creator. I am sent by them, but I am not a werewolf. I came from the family of an ancient bloodline of angels. You can call me a guardian angel, or a guardian fairy,” she said to me. Ella raised her face.
“How is Luna connected to you then? And why are shadow hunters after her?” I asked cautiously.
I noticed the way her eyes flicked, and turned white. She immediately turned her eyes away.
“I am sorry, but I can’t tell you now. Trust me, I will tell you later,” she replied with a melancholy voice, and I burst into laughter.
“That is a big pity, but I doubt that there will be a next time,” I said and turned to leave. “Since she is connected to you, then treat her right, and introduce her to her biological father, let her know the truth about life. Also, greet your husband for me,” I said, my voice filled with jealousy and envy.
Ella’s Pov
I was shocked, and I immediately held his hands before he could leave. I went on my knees, and tears flowed out of my eyes.
“But you said you love me! You said that you will never leave me alone!” I yelled at him, as tears continued to stream out of my eyes.
“Oh! You also told me that you love me, you said that you trust me more than you trusted yourself, you promised not to keep secrets from me.
So I guess we both lied to ourselves, and that is fair enough,” he replied and wanted to take his hands from mine.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“But I love you Cory, I really do. I didn’t tell you because I was scared of losing you. I was scared that my ability would scare you off. I am very sorry for hurting your feelings,” I begged kike a desperate mother in labor.
“Oh no, you are not sorry. Fine, prove to me that you are genuinely sorry, and tell me Luna’s connection with guardian angels, and werewolf,” he demanded yet again. But I couldn’t tell him.
“No, I can’t tell you that. You won’t even believe me if I do. Please stay with us, don’t go, I can not live with you,” I begged him desperately, but Cory was not ready to listen to me.
He hit my hands away, and walked out of our house, leaving me in pain, sadness, loneliness, and sorrow.
“What am I even supposed to tell Luna? What am I supposed to do now? If we are suddenly attacked by a group of shadow hunters again, what am I supposed to do? How am I going to fight them alone? Why is Cory being inconsiderate? What will Luna say?” Many questions passed through my mind and I cried more.
