"I have to go,

" John said, gripping over the girl's wrists and lowering them down.

nThe girl speeded in front of him impeding him to walk away and John scoffed rolling his eyes, he didn't have time to deal with her. He only wanted to go to talk to Victor and then go back to his family.

n

"Tell me, why her and not me?

" She raised her voice,

"why? Because she is a banshee? Because she is half-human?

"

nJohn shut his eyes, maintaining the calm,

"It just happened, I can't control my heart and I fell in love with her. I am sorry if this makes you feel sad or breaks your heart but you have to move on.

" John said, as nicely as he could and offering a smile.

n

"You had changed for her. Don't you remember when all you wanted was power? Now people talk behind your back and you don't even care about all the quarrels creatures are having lately. You're in this bubble and you turned into someone I barely know.

" She spat out, her eyes filled with tears.

n

"Why do people talk behind my back and what do people quarrel about?

" John asked as soon as he heard her, his voice growing concerned, he knew very well if people started to talk behind his back, it meant they were planning something.

nRoselyn's vision wasn't a coincidence, the majority of her visions were right so John was truly worried about the last vision of her father warning her.

n

"You even ask? Isn't it obvious!

" The girl gestured and knitted their eyebrows,

"they agree with me, they know you had changed and they consider you weak, they want someone else to rule Kratez. They don't like the idea of a banshee either, some rumors say she grows wings, they are worried.

"

nJohn swallowed down, preoccupation and fear grow in him as a thrill and his heart started drumming in his chest.

n

"Oh, that's true.

" The girl recognized his concerned gaze. But John immediately rested his hand on her neck, until the woman spoke,

"I won't say a word if this concerns you. I may hate her but I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. I love you so much that I want you happy. If you're happy with her I step behind and let you be.

"

n

"I do love her,

" John confessed, lowering his hand.

nThat woman's gaze grow sad as if his sentence hit her like a stab straight to her heart.

n

"Then I suggest you keep an eye on here. Many people are planning to attack her.

"

nThe girl turned around to leave but John speeded faster than her and stretched for her arm crushing her on the ground.

n

"Who?

"

nThe girl stood up and wiped off the ground on her dress, she glowered at John for making her fall.

n

"I can't tell you the names, but I heard voices claiming she could give birth to other banshees and they didn't want that to happen.

"

n

"I want the names!

" John's voice thundered, his eyes flashed red and he revealed his sharp fangs. Few creases formed under his eyelids, as he was so mad his demoniac side was coming out.

nThe girl smiled,

"It had been a long time, I missed this side of you. I was wondering if you softened up.

" The girl whispered leaning closer to him as if he wanted to kiss him but John pushed her away.

n

"Stop these silly games and tell me.

" His voice was so aroused and gruff.

nThe girl rolled her eyes,

"the right side of Kratez.

"

nJohn's groaned, he nodded as if he expected it. The right side of Kratez was characterized by the most radical creatures who didn't want anyone to rule Kratez and who hated witches and fairies.

nMost of them always hated John and now that he married a banshee they had one more reason to hate her.

n

"Will you help me? In case the situation gets worse?

" John asked when she turned around again, to speed away.

nShe hesitated whether to stop or not but then she slowly turned around, she met his gaze, looking at him like only a heartbroken girl can look at the man who never returned her love.

nHer lips thinned and she took a long breath, she shook her head from side to side.

n

"I can't side with her, I would betray myself if I did so. But I wish you happiness.

" She said, even if John was disappointed he smiled.

nHe nodded,

"I wish you happiness too. Take care.

"

nShe turned around once again and finally she speeded away.

nJohn looked at her speed away, and then he traveled his gaze around the habitations of the creatures to the right side. He knitted his eyebrows, a feeling of anger and rancor filled his soul.

nIf they thought they could lead a hand on Roselyn they had never been more wrong, John was ready and willing to kill them even if they dared to think something negative about her.

nHis darkest evilest side hadn't been revealed yet but he couldn't wait to unleash his unteamed side for good reasons like that one.

nDriven by his anger, he speeded there.

nWhen he got on the right side of Kratez the creatures gazed at him surprised, they didn't expect to see him there.

nHis eyes were still red, his veins darkened through his pale skin.

n

"Hi John,

" one of them said,

"you got bored to babysit two boring kids and ** a winged human?

" he chuckled.

nJohn's was red of anger hearing him, he couldn't control himself and in a fraction of a second, his hands were wrapping on the man's neck and tightening.

nHe kept gripping and gripping, the creature was gasping and he beg John pardon.

nFew creatures gathered there to look at the situation, some of them screamed to John to stop, but he couldn't hear them.

nHis anger was controlling him, after so many years, the old John came back.
