DEMONESS AT THE AUCTION ❄️
Part 11
Ethan drove away while Ayla stood there, smiling.
Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in her head:
"Are you falling for him? What if I help you win him over? It's easy, my dear... go on, accept me. Winning over men is the simplest game I've ever played."
Ayla: "Just shut up."
The voice hissed back in anger:
"Stupid girl!"
She ignored it and turned toward a nearby cat that had started meowing.
She knelt down, looking at the cat:
"Oh, little one, is your paw hurt?"
She picked him up, kissing his head:
"You've come to the right place. I'll heal you."
Ayla hurried into Veronica's office and quickly closed the door.
Veronica looked at her, puzzled:
"What's wrong?"
Ayla:
"I have a mission for you. I know you don't use your power for simple wounds—only for difficult surgeries—but he's in pain."
She placed the cat in front of her.
Veronica looked at him:
"Oh, what happened to you, little one?"
She began to stroke his head:
"I don't heal simple human wounds with my power so my secret won't be revealed… but animals don't talk."
She couldn't leave him like that. She kissed his head and placed her hand on his paw. The moment she touched it, the wound vanished.
The cat pulled his paw back sharply, scratching Veronica's hand.
Veronica looked at her hand and said:
"Is this how you thank me?"
The cat moved toward her and rubbed his head against her.
Veronica:
"Mmm, apology accepted. Please, Ayla, bring me some antiseptic and a medical bandage for my hand."
Ayla left, and the cat followed her... Soon, the cat disappeared from the area and reappeared in a nearby wooded spot near the clinic.
A man stood there in a black cloak, watching the clinic with dark eyes. He brushed his black hair back when he saw the cat.
He spoke in a deep, provocative voice:
"My dear cat... back so soon?"
In seconds, the cat transformed into a tall, handsome young man.
He sat on the ground and sighed, touching his face:
"Ah, I wish I were actually a cat."
The man leaned down to his level and said calmly:
"If you wish, I can make you an animal for the rest of your life."
He jumped up quickly:
"Ah, Atlas, I'm only joking!"
Atlas:
"Talk. Now."
He looked at him with a grin:
"Alright. The blonde girl healed my wound, but she didn't heal her own... As for the black-haired girl who was standing with Ethan, she's just an innocent girl with no power."
A faint smile appeared on his lips:
"I've waited a long time."
