"Yes I am afraid of you you monster, don't touch me" I pushed him he moved back a little since he was not expecting it.

I ran out of the hall towards the exit and I was finally out of the castle. I pulled my phone and started calling Sam.

"Not so fast my love" I heard before I was surrounded by darkness.

Ethan 's POV

"Mr. Knight you should have knocked before entering my home" she told me.

I smiled at her she was nervous because of me and I replied her smiling "Really I would have Jo... if your door was closed but since it was open so I stepped in".

"Jo?? Mr. Knight Really?? she asked tilting her head making look more cute. I wanted to take her in my arms then and there and ravish her. But I have to control myself. So I simply answered "Well we are not at office, so yes Jo... we can be on first name basis outside office" I told her amused with her expression.

"Then it is Jocelyn to you Mr. Knight" she told me.

"But Jo... suits you much better... actually I love it. And Jo... you can call me Ethan too. I told her again.

"I don't mix business and pleasure Mr. Knight" she replied harshly. I was hurt at that moment because for me she was the only source of love. I quickly covered my hurt by replying " as you wish My lady".

We walked out of my door and I ran to my car while she was securing her door because her scent was tempting me to hold her and while I was on verge I needed to control myself. She walked and sat next to me when driver opened the door for her. She smiled at him and I was filled with jealousy and rage for that man. Her smile should have been for me only not for anyone else. When she looked at me I calmed myself.

We arrived at the venue and she got out and I could feel her mesmerized by our castle. Her Jaw dropped when she actually took in the sight.

"It's named Drakon Castle and it's my family home" I whispered at my stunned expression.

"Wow... didn't expect anyone to actually owning a castle" she replied irritated.

I was amused at her reply. I kept my hand on her back to show my claim but she instantly swatted it away. I was hurt by her action.

"Mr. Knight I am not your date and don't touch me like that" She said to me.

"Well my lady then you have no entry" I told her because I knew she can't go anywhere and I wanted her to be here as my date.

"Then may be I should head home" she countered

"Sorry dear you don't have a ride home" I stated flatly.

"I can call a cab Mr. Knight" she replied.

"Well in the middle of nowhere yes sure you would get one in the morning" I replied at her stubbornness.

She was sheathing now and I was getting impatient with her. She wanted to be left alone I know why she was not comfortable with guys. She looked around and realized that she indeed was in a situation wherein she had to agree with me. But suddenly she moved a little and was about to call someone. I was really pissed off with her now. I didn't want her to go away now. I wanted Vampire world to know that she was mine and no one's to touch her moreover if they find her in trouble they better help her.

When she was about to make a call to somebody I snatched her phone and said to her "My love you will not go anywhere and you are coming inside with me now".

"Well I told you Mr. Knight I will but if you are going put your hands on me. Then I am sorry, I definitely will not" she answered.

I took a deep breath of her scent to calm me and then grabbed her wrist and pulled her all the way inside the castle. I didn't get give her a chance to do anything.

"Mr. Knight you are hurting me" she said.

I immediately released her wrist when she said that. That was the last thing I wanted her to think about me that I would hurt her. I was pissed off with myself but overcome that..

"I am sorry love I didn't mean to hurt you but let me take you inside and fix this" I told her.

"Mr. Knight it's ok, People are staring at us. I mean we are in a party so can you please meet whoever you want to while I go have something to drink" she replied getting nervous.

I was still looking at her when a bunch of royals came to meet me. They wanted to discuss with me some important matters. I was about to introduce her when I felt that she was no longer beside me.

I searched for her and followed her scent but it was getting difficult since there were so many royal guests that I had to say my greetings. When I found her near the balcony I was glad

"Didn't I tell you to be with me Joe? You should not be wandering alone in the palace like this" I asked her.

"Mr. Knight I am no child and surely I don't want to spend time with you so please leave me alone" she said while pushing me but all I could do was smile at my little tigress.

She tried pulling myself out of his grip but I tightened it more. "Love.. be still I like this position very much" I said riling her up.

"Well sorry to burst your bubble I surely do not" she replied.

I pulled her further to my chest so she will feel the sparks when I didn't see her repelling I went in to kiss her but then I smelt a man's scent on her and then I recalled who he was.

"You went out of my sight to meet him. Why?? Joe why??" I asked releasing her from my hold. I was raging now that how dare he got near my Joe when I was present.

" Who ?? " She asked confused.

"You know who" I replied clenching his jaw. " I really don't understand why you always refuse to follow what I say"

"Are you crazy Mr. Knight ? I don't even understand what you are talking and I don't even know how many maniacs like you are there in this party, speaking god knows what" she replied angrily

"Maniac?? who are you calling a maniac Joe" I asked worriedly that he might have hurt her or did something.

"A guy who came in asked me to stay away from you and won't even tell me the danger I am in" she replied .

I was hating that he met her before I was about to lay my claim on her. Then I looked in her eyes and I wanted to know whether she believed him or not. "You believe him love".

"Well if you ask me" she answered not looking at me "If you ask me like this I would say I do feel you are dangerous" she replied gulping my fear.

"You are afraid of me Joe" I asked immediately holding her in my arms.

"Yes I am afraid of you you monster, don't touch me" she pushed me and I felt myself pushed as I was a little surprised by it.

She ran out of the hall towards the exit and I was about to follow her when another bunch of royals came to me. I excused myself after giving them excuse to be back in sometime. But when I went out I could not find her anywhere. Moreover I could not even smell her scent. It was like someone has masked her scent to cover their tracks. Now I was in rage and I yelled and saw that all my guests were out.

I was in complete crazy state now. I immediately ordered my guards to check whole of the castle and nearby areas for Jocelyn. I even checked each of the Royals for her. I knew they will feel insulted but seeing me in my current state they co-operated. I found out that none of the Royals saw her or met her. I made my guards follow each one of them to spy on them. But got nothing so far. I even went to her apartment hoping she somehow made it to that place. I had lost it completely now.

Jocelyn 's POV

When I opened myself I found I was in a room where everything was white. I tried to wake up when I found I was restrained by white ropes. I then saw myself covered with white sheets.

Well seems like the person who has kidnapped me and is holding me against my will hear is a white freak..

I was just pondering when the door burst open. I was expecting him after recalling the night events. But who came out knocked the breath out of me.

"You??" I shouted.

"Well yes baby... I was expecting you here like this but wanted the circumstances to be different but anyways... I am happy to have you here" He said smiling " and by the way if you are wondering what my name is ...." 

"Oh don't bother... I would want you to just let me go and we can forget this even happened" I said in a flat tone.

Suddenly his smiling face turned angry and he yelled "Oh my.... you really want to leave ...and to go where Josh... straight into the web of lies that Ethan is building around you".

"Hey man... no need to yell , I don't know you you don't know me and I mean what I do is none of your business.. I really don't understand why I am even telling you this" I said irritated.

He immediately strode towards my bed with big steps and held my cheek and said "Listen and listen good Josh... whatever you do is my business I am not going to just sit around and watch you go in the arms of Ethan Knight when I know he doesn't deserve you" He said in warning tone.

This seriously pissed me off and I said "Well Mr. Blondie... who do you think you are to tell me that" .

"What?? what did you call me just now.. Josh" He asked gripping my chin harshly.

"Ow..." I yelped.

"I am sorry to hurt you Josh" He said ashamed and left.

Stranger's POV

I wanted her to stay away from Ethan Knight, because this was the last chance he had to make her his. If he fails he would never be born again and the cycle will break. I know it is selfish of me to not tell her everything that happened in the past, but I will do whatever it is I can to stop Ethan from having Josh.  I wanted him to suffer so much that even his death could not bring the peace for him.

Guys,

I am replacing the stranger/ mystery man cast to Juan Garcia Postigo a spanish model.
