Ajax's Pov

Drug- I was surely a damned person but I have not got addicted to anything all my life other than victory but this moment the consciousness of why there were wars for women, why men sacrificed their life for love and why Shakespeare was too keen to fabricate sonnets for his Rose lady was evident to me.

She was a drug and I was an addict, the first time I saw her descending like an angel from the stairs of that lavish ballroom, my hatred for her froze for a second, for that time being she was my goddess and I was her devotee.

Valace Strom had proclaimed his fake love for Alaina innumerable times, always making her target of his nemesis- a trap in which I was lured.

My stomach churned at the thought of hurting her that day, I wanted to wreck myself for even thinking like that for a second, but as I remembered why I was doing this, abhorrence surged through my body.

I will quench my thirst for vengeance- I had decided that day.

I will not let that monster ruin an angel- MY angel. She was brave, I saw that in her eye- the burning fire coating the frost in her heart, the chivillary she had and the valour she displayed, I saw that all.

Right now when my lips touched her's, it caused a yearning sensation, passion collided with power, she was just like me- wild and unpredictable.

She got on her toes, her hands, in my hair with one on my neck pulling me close to her. It wasn't a kiss of dominance, it was a dance of craving. I pushed her towards the bookshelf, holding her hips.

A moan escaped her lips, If I had a favorite music ever, it would have been nothing infront of her soft mewling, she was my doom.

She needed the much needed breath, so I detached myself from her, her forehead came to rest on my shoulder which she grasped tightly while my arms went behind her pulling her impossibly closer, she released shallow breaths when I started peppering kisses on every inch of that creamy skin of her neck and throat.

"Ajax, uh....I am sorry but this is important." Ryan called out from the end his eyes anywhere but on us.

"So important that you cannot wait a minute?"

"Tartarus is demanding your presence."

My lips that were curled into distaste, produced a smirk. "Tell them I won't be coming."

"Ajax.....we need you. Think about it."

"What is Tartarus? "the melodic voice asked from behind me.
