Tasting Drakness

Chapter 30

“You are not cutting it. You will look like a boy,” Darius growled.

“That’s the point, asshole. I would rather have no fucking hair than have you ripping it out every chance you get,” Kalen banged on the door demanding to know what was going on, and Darius growled and looked over at Lycus.

“Deal with him while I deal with her,” Darius snapped. He reached over, snatching the scissors from Lycus. Who looked a t him worriedly.

“Go deal with him,” Darius said, his aura rushing out and making the room hot with his anger. Lycus sighed but opened the door. He had to grab Kalen as he tried to force his way in before the door shut and Darius locked it. He turned to face m e, and I took a step back away from him when he went to step closer with the scissors clutched tightly in hand.

“You ruined it,” He snarled, and my heart rate skyrocketed at the evil look in his eyes. It’s just hair. Why the hell does he care about whether or not I have hair on my damn head.

“Sit on the edge with your feet in the bath,” He snapped, pointing at the bathtub. I glanced at the bathtub, and he growled at me, which made me move to do as he asked before h e commanded me, giving me no choice.

“Don’t cut your hair,” he paused, and I felt his presence behind me but didn’t dare look at him. I felt fingers run through the lengths of it as he growled at my hack job before dropping the scissors beside me.

“Wait here,” He said before he walked out of the room. I wondered what my chance was of escaping whatever punishment he was about to inflict when he walked back in, and I looked over at him only to see Tobias was with him. Tobias sighed and looked at Darius.

“Fix it,” Darius snapped at him.

“Do I look like a hairdresser?” Tobias asked him. No to me, he looked more like someone that would scalp me, not fix hair. Darius dropped some pouch on the ledge of the bath beside me and rummaged through it.

“You do our hair all the time,” Darius told him.
