Clarissa.
There were tears running down her f ace, but she still couldn't turn he r gaze from Adam's face. If he had asked, she would've crawled to him and begged him to continue.
“Oh, my God! What have I done? I am so sorry mo gaol. Mo beatha.”
“Adam,” Clarissa whispered desperately and stretched her hands out to Adam. If Marcel were n’t been holding her, she would've rushed to his arms.
Adam took a step towards her, but Blake stepped between them.
“Leave us now,” I said icily and looked sternly at him.
“Sofia...”
“No, Adam. Not now. Give me some time to think about this,” I closed my eyes and wished he would disappear.
“Sofia, tha mi duilich.”
“I know. Just go now.”
“Adam,” screamed Clarissa .
“Tha mi duilich,” said Adam and left, leaving Clarissa behind.
“Adam!” Clarissa's shocked scream echoed in the gym.
We looked at each other silently. No one was to blame and yet we knew this was not supposed to happen. We had all been blind to Adam's fierce nature, and we couldn't understand how he could possibly have done this to her. No, we couldn't blame anyone. Each of us had failed her and left her unprotected. We should've protected her better. We had failed.
CHAPTER 7
I ordered Joshua to carry Clarissa to the car. Marcel gave way to him reluctantly. I saw how hard it was for Joshua to touch her and I knew that he would blame himself for a long time for leaving Clarissa unprotected. Rolling in self pity wouldn't help though. None of us could have predicted that anything like this could happen, and if anyone could've known that, it was me. Yet I knew exactly how Joshua felt.
Marcel got into the backseat and pulled Clarissa to his arms. She sniffed miserably and grabbed him desperately. I didn't let Joshua come to our car and he went sulkily to another car with Jonas. Tiamhaidh drove fast and Joshua followed easily right behind us , full of anger .
At home, Tiamhaidh carried Clarissa straight to her own room. Marie was already waiting for them, and when Tiamhaidh had put Clarissa on her bed, she rushed him out. Tiamhaidh glanced at her before he left and Marie knew he wouldn't go far. Ciall had already placed himself behind Clarissa's d oor and would make sure that no one could disturb them.
I looked at Tiam anxiously when he stepped into the living room. He shook his head and I felt the guilt flow in me. I should've defended my child. I had made the decision to let Adam contend for Clarissa and I should've known better. I had believed that Adam could behave properly, even when I knew what kind of a beast lived inside him. Now I had to live with the consequences. My daughter was lying upstairs; her heart ripped in tatters, frightened half to death and still every cell in her thirsted for Adam. He had assaulted her violently, and yet he had won. Clarissa belonged to him. Everyone in the room knew Adam had chosen his spouse and Clarissa had chosen her sire. Clarissa was the only one who hadn't realized that yet.
“Stop that, Sofia,” grunted Tiamhaidh .
“I can't! I don't know what to do anymore. I have been so stupid and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for you Joshua, especially for you, but for you all as well.”
I sat on the edge of the sofa with my back straight and looked at each of the males. Joshua was staring at the wall behind me. His eyes were full of murder. I wasn't sure who he wanted to kill the most, me or Adam, but in his present state of mind he could've even murdered Clarissa. The memory of her willingly embracing Adam cut his heart like the sharpest knife. Blake was cleaning his nails and Marcel and Fabio were whispering quietly to each other, glancing guiltily at me from time to time . Jonas lay relatively relaxed on a lounge r and played with the remote, changing the channels every second until Darel snatched the remote and threw it to the sofa where Jonas couldn't reach it. Igor and Alexei grunted in Russian and stared at the woods rather than
