DAMIEN POV
It’s not possible.
Her eyes went to my face for a brief moment and then went down again in fright.
I doubt she heard what I said.
“It’s her,” Dugan said out in relief.
“Shut up!” I barked at him, there was no mate.
“Mate is dead.” I half yelled.
“This is our second chance mate after waiting for so long.” Dugan wasn’t gonna stop bickering that easy but I wasn’t gonna give him that chance.
“Not another word from you Dugan.” Has he forgotten who killed Jolene? He growled lowly at me and withdrew.
I did not care.
It was the wolves!
Who killed my mate?
Jolene would forever be my mate and there would not be another!
Wolf as a mate!
Never!
I growled at the girl and she whimpered and didn’t know if she was to hide behind Cranon or run away but she couldn’t because of the chains, she dropped her head to the ground and stared at her fidgety hands.
A second chance mate?
How ridiculous!
I never asked for such and even if I did why would the moon goddess decide to give me a wolf?
I never trusted those shitty deities.
Ever since she died, I believe nothing or hope for anything.
“Loosen her...” my voice was always so cold when I speak and it made Cranon shudder as he began to take the chains away from her.
“Yes, my king.”
“She would do anything you ask of her, anything at all.” He pats her hair.
“Take your hands off her,” I growled with my eyes darkened at him. I didn’t know why the sight of him touching her irked me.
He took his hands off immediately with a nervous laugh.
“Now take those chains off.” Dugan was trying to take control but I won’t let him do any of that.
I didn’t want to see her in chains.
Not because I was gonna treat her any differently.
I looked away from them unbothered by what Cranon was saying to her and was making her so scared.
I turned and whispered to Lucas to keep everyone away or end the ceremony and let them all go home.
I was a party bloomer.
“It just started.” He complained.
“It hasn’t been less than ten minutes since we started.” He stood in front of me and glanced sideways if our conversation was being heard.
“We already have done the most important. Now call it off It's past midnight,” I growled. He was starting to get on my nerves. And I was getting angry.
My anger wasn’t something anyone could control and Lucas knew he should never make me angry.
“Fine.” He rolled his eyes.
“I’ll have your head chopped off, for your disrespect. It’s a promise.” I nudge him on his elbow, his face turned into a grimace and he faux a smile on his lips at the guest who glanced our way.
“Yes, Alpha.” He grumpily replied and walked away to end the ceremony.
I walked away from we had been standing and tread into the large door to the house, ignoring the murmuring and gossip about me.
“He’s the beast, Lycan.”
“That’s why his mansion is deep in the woods.”
“I heard he killed his mate.”
I stopped abruptly and twirled on my heel and stared at the two women and a man in between. I couldn’t ignore the last words.
They cowered at my stare and had their head down.
“Lucas,” I called through gritted teeth. He hurried to my side, my eyes were
“Have them locked up and hundreds of strokes each, do not stop until I say so” I spun and faced Lucas, my lips parted in a growl. “Now!”
“Yes, Alpha.”
I moved away and began to hurry to my room, I wanted to get away from all of this.
But...
I could sense her behind me, her scent cinnamon and pine were intoxicating in the house and drowning me in the most pleasant way. and I made an abrupt stop to face her, her eyes darted to the ground instantaneously.
“Why are you following me?” I breathed out and have my hands over my hair and swept them off my face.
“I...I...was told to serve you, my lord...King...Alpha.” I bit down at chuckled at her uneasiness, she was unsure of what to call me.
I couldn’t see her face because her head was down. I scoffed at her nervous she sounded, I hated her already. Why was she sounding so weak?
“What’s your rank?” I forced the words out of my lips with a frown. She tried to raise her head and I stopped her with my next word.
“Do not lift your head while I talk to you! Now answer me?!” My voice was enough for her to tremble, I thought she was gonna fall because her feet wobble and she wanted to get away from me.
I know, everyone wants to get away from me.
“An..omega.” I scrunched my face at the word but her voice, was peacefully calm, it was soothing, and my mouth clamped shut for a moment and I took a large stride toward her. My finger went to her face and I lift her chin.
I wanted her to remember this moment.
“What’s your name?” I breathed close to her face, her lips parted but she didn’t say a word but only gasped.
I did not want to think of anything and her proximity to me.
How effortlessly beautiful she looked and could feel shivers running down my cock.
“Viola Adams.” She called out.
Viola, was it because of her eyes?
I shouldn’t care, I didn’t wanna know.
“I, King of the Lycan, Damien Thorne would never accept you...” I paused staring at her face for a brief moment and continued.
“...Viola Adams as my mate. Accept my rejection, mate.” I growled with a hatred down my throat, my eyes darkened on her and I was snarling.
“You heard me.” I seethed through gritted teeth. Her eyes welled up in tears and she was trying to keep them at bay and she looked me in the eye with a glint of hurt in them.
“I do not accept your rejection.”
~Viola Pov~ “...Accept my rejection mate.” I froze with his finger still on my jaw. My eyes were glistening with tears staring at the stoic face in front of me. He didn’t sound remorseful for what he said. His eyes hardened on me and shifted a bit uncomfortable. He let go of my chin and gave me hateful stares and he kept the distance between us. Lana growled in fright and withdrew from me. She was scared of him. Our mate. “Why?” I croaked a stifling pain flooded through my chest. He stared at me but said nothing. I waited for a reply. But he only stared like I was a fool not to know the oblivious. I knew I lied about who I was, was that enough reason to reject me? I wasn’t Viola Adams but Grahams was my father and he was an Alpha. If I had told him the truth that I was of royal blood would it be any difference probably he might not have believed me. He was my only hope. He was the one I was waiting for all those years, that he would find me or I would find him, and th
~Damien Pov~ “I do not accept your rejection.” I pushed the door of my room in annoyance. No one has ever looked me in the eye and said a No, not even Bianca my fiancé. It was disturbing. Her eyes blared with hate and a tear at the corner of it. Something wasn’t right when I felt that. And it came from a weak wolf. A lowly omega! Glaring at me. I took off the crown and tossed it aside, I ruffled my dark creamy hair. I flopped on the chaise lounge. I was trying to think of a thousand reasons she do not want to accept my rejection. Nobody would want to be mated to a king like me, and I was older than her. Was I not terrifying enough? Isn’t she scared of me? Why? Why does she want to keep the bond? There were so many why? But not an answer, it was an answer I couldn’t get except from her. “She’s not a lowly omega, she’s our mate.” I scoffed at Dugan’s voice. “I do not want a mate...” I drawled. “But you’re getting married to Bianca.” Dugan snorts. “She
~Viola~ I woke up to the distant drip of water from somewhere deep within the room I was in, and it was dripping on my face. The air in here was thick and heavy with the scent of dampness and decay. I wiped them off and looked around me, I remembered I was thrown in here, but I didn’t know where this place was, now with the gruesome walls that are made of rough-cut stone, and the floors that are damp and slippery, covered in a layer of moss and grime. The only light comes from small, narrow slits in the ceiling, which barely allow any light to filter through.The instruments of torture are cruel and barbaric, including whips, chains, and spiked devices to inflict maximum pain and suffering.I was in his dungeon. The King’s dungeon. I don’t even know his name yet.I curled further into the wall with my back pressed against it. My throat felt sore, my eyes were blurry and I was hungry and cold. I wish he could let me out already. I promised not to go against him or talk back at hi
~Damien~I stood beside the window up until the early hours of the morning, watching the dark folded clouds as they paved away and let the sun creep out. The only thing that set me at ease was watching them. “Roland...” I called out deeply and shut the windows, the sun was rising and I could feel the rays on my skin. I spun around after shutting the windows strolled over to the bed and sat on it. “Yes, King Damien.” He came in the next minute, standing in front of me.“Get her out of the dungeon.” I heaved a sigh and crossed a leg over the other. He was unsteady in his feet and took his lips in and he lift his head slowly but didn’t meet my gaze. “But you said you won’t let her out, she’s a wolf, my King.” His head was bowed deeply. “...you mustn’t forget what the wolves did, why we never accept to be aligned with them.”“She needs to work, as my slave. There’s nothing to it and I won’t let you lecture me.” I said through gritted teeth. “But, King Damien...”“Enough!” I roared and
~Damien~I was pacing in front of the large rooms, with my hands behind my back, the servants lined beside the wall uniformly with their heads deeply bowed. They must not lift their head except I told them to.“Nobody is telling what’s happening, Damien?” Bianca flopped down on an empty couch with a frown. “I left for the weekend and the pack is in hassles, this has never happened before, the pack has been peaceful and Damien you...” I stopped pacing with a side glance at her, she bite down a retort. “You haven’t changed.” She grumbled, I ignored her, she was the least of my problem at the moment. “Did you miss me?” She grinned from ear to ear and stood up from the couch. “I know you do, I’m your little princess ain’t I? I missed you so much, Damien.” She kept on rasping with a broad smile on her face. “So when am I gonna be the Queen?”“Do not annoy me.” I was flippant, the smile fades off into a smirk. “I have forgotten who you are,” She went back to the couch and sat down wi
~Viola~“Blow me...”He wasn’t any different from Cranon. I never thought he was gonna say that to me and force me just the way Cranon did. I thought finding my mate would be different. I thought I would get to live differently, that was why the tears came out. I was scared that he was gonna inflict pain on me when I was accused of letting the ladies out and called a spy. Roland did beats me, I know he hated me at first glance, and not just him, most of the pack members stared at me with disgust. I had no idea they had a plan to escape from the Harem. They were afraid of Damien and probably has been planning their escape for a long time. “...He’s one of the most dreadful kings ever in this world, do you think you can stay and serve such a man. His eyes are clouded with darkness, not a glint of warmth. You’re still young, run while you can, or else you would face the same end as everyone who served Damien.” Bee had said to me when I told her I was the King’s slave. “He killed h
~Damien Pov~“Rogues to the east.” I got a mind link from one of the warriors at the borders. “Where are you, Lucas?” I growled through the mind link.Perfect timing, it was almost midnight. “He’s not here.” “On my way.” I mind link back seething, grabbed a black jacket from the rack, and wore them.“Where are you?” I called Lucas through the mind link and told him to meet me at the borders. Anger comes off my body in waves. I hate that we were being disturbed. Turning into my Lycan form while I was deep in the woods, my bones breaking with a cracking sound, Dugan takes control of me. I roared in the woods. I could smell the blood around me, I snarled threateningly. Rogue wolves. I caught one trying to run, how dare they step foot in my land and think they can live? Dugan grins at the cowering rogues, taking a sharp leap and instantly ripping his throats out with a single bite from Dugan.With my large paws now on the dead rogues, I saw Lucas and the warriors turning up. “Clea
~Viola~ It’s been a long time, I smiled genuinely and I was smiling at the thought of my father, the memories we had together, sitting outside our balcony late at night. Cranon did not let me out, I was always locked in, working late in the house, and doing chores that never ends, I had forgotten how bright the sky was at night, and how the moon shimmered. There was hope, maybe the moon goddess would hear my prayers this time. I was taken back to the dungeon and Damien left, I sat down on the empty spot with my legs up to my chest. The sun was up, and the rays were peeping through the small openings.I hope Lucas finds her, I wished Mom was alive since her body was never found over the years. I had to hope on it, that she would be somewhere safe. “...not as beautiful as you.” I felt my cheeks heat up, I don’t know if he said that to me or if I was hallucinating but I heard those words and my ear rings when I did.“Don’t go giddy yet” Lana snorts. “You’re awake now, ms wolf?”“I
~Viola~“…She’s fine.” I replied to Damien's mom and smiled. I couldn’t tell her that Bianca was the reason I ended up in the hospital, and in that state where she found me. The quietness during the drive back home was overpowering.I was lost in contemplation, replaying the recent events, while Damien focused on driving.A grin formed on my face as Neveah, my future mother-in-law, came to mind. I was going to get married to Damien. I have set my mind on it, and Damien just has to believe it, that I would never let him go, not my mate. The affection and generosity she showed filled me with joy and I appreciated having her here with me. I whispered to her that I was going to marry her son, and she laughed. “I hope you win his heart.” She said. Upon returning to Damien's huge mansion, it didn’t look this huge before. Maybe I have come to see it this way because of what happened to me, and got me in the infirmary. I couldn’t ignore the disapproving glances I received from the guard
~Damien~I carried her on my lap and immediately I saw her cry. I hate to see her cry, it drives me crazy."Talk to me viola, what's wrong?" I asked her, caressing her flushed cheeks as I stared into those beautiful eyes of hers. “Did I do something wrong?” Did I make a mistake that I wasn’t aware of?"What’s wrong with Viola?’ Dugan whispered in a worried tone. ‘That’s what I’m trying to find out.’ I sighed. "Are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere?" I asked, my eyes roaming all over her body.The scars and bruises on her body were still there and it was taking time to heal because she didn’t have a wolf yet. I cradle my finger on her cheeks. “What’s wrong?” She sniffed and I wiped the tears off her face with my thumb. “I thought of my mother, when my pack was attacked, her body was never found and that was the last night I saw her. At least I had somewhere to go if I missed my father. I buried him somewhere in the pack but there was none for my mother…” She cried. “When I'm w
~Viola~I stared at Damien as he sleep, his head rested on my bed and his hand grasped on mine. I played with his thick dark hair with my fingers loving the feels in my hands and then trace it down his sharp jawline. He didn’t sleep throughout the night, I didn’t know why I couldn’t ask because I told him I was already sleeping. Out of the corner of my eyes, Damien was wide awake, his eyes didn’t shut for a moment. He was brooding so deeply and it only made my heart hurt seeing him that way. The door opened and I took my gaze away from Damien to the door, Lucas come into the room holding some baskets of fruits and some bread. “Monica...” Lucas grinned as he strolled into the room. I glared playfully at him. “Lucas.” I took my hands off Damien’s hair and fixed my gaze on Lucas.“Don’t stop.”“I love it when you play with my hair.”Damien’s hoarse voice made me freeze. I thought he was asleep.He lift his head from the bed and leaned his back on the chair with his hands folded star
~Damien pov~“Bianca!” I roared, marching down the hallway. “Damien calm down, if you meet her this way you’re gonna kill her and you don’t want that so you have to control your anger! Damien, stop!” Lucas was saying to me but I didn’t listen to anything he was saying. “Damien.” He tried to stop me, but my hand shoots out to his neck, and my Lycan sits behind my eyes. I grabbed him and flung him over the hallway fiercely. His back slammed against the wall, and Lucas fell to the ground, groaning in pain. “Da—“I marched down to the room of Bianca, the door was locked from the inside. “Bianca!”She opened the door with a bright and innocent smile on her face as if she hadn’t done anything wrong. “Damien, how are you...”I didn’t wait for her to complete the word before my fist connected with her face. It was the force that pushed her backward into the room and she let out a screeching sound. “How dare you beat her, it’s an offense and a double offense fighting her with your Lycan
~Viola Pov~I heard the door open, with a bright smile. I spun around thinking Damien came back but then. “...Damien you cam—Bianca.” The next word hung in my throat, I stiffened, I wasn’t expecting to see her, and she was here in Damien’s room. “You’re back.” I struggled to say. “Why are you here in Damien’s room?” She stepped fully into the room with her eyes on my body from my messy hair and my clothes and the bedsheets which I had folded in my hands and was about to take out because there was some stain in them.“What happened to Damien?” “I...I...it was...”“What did you do to him, how come he was hurt? Do you know how I had to hurry down here because of what happened, that Damien was hurt!” She shouted at me, I shrink backward from her until my back was against the wall. “He’s fine now, he left.” I rushed my words and avoided having any contact with her.“You!” She wagged a finger at me. “Have you been messing around with Damien because I wasn’t here, did you think Damien i
~Damien~ “Where is he?” I marched out of the house with Lucas hurrying up behind me towards the lawn where the truck was parked. “I had him locked up.” “Take me to him immediately.” I snarled and opened the truck.“Hurry up, Lucy.” I stared at him over my shoulders.“Stop calling me that.” Lucas grimaces at his name. I leaned on the truck and stared at him. “Not until you stop wearing tight jeans and a t-shirt that has all your muscles rippled out.” I couldn’t believe I was stuck with him for years. “I’ll take you to him, Daemon Thorn.” Lucas gritted his teeth with feigned annoyance. He moved over to the side of the truck and opened the door of the truck. I lift my back a bit from the truck. “What did you just call me?” “Come here right now! Lucas!” I gesture for him to come with a finger, and the asshole ignored me. What imprudence!“Are you getting into the truck or not, I hide him somewhere far. Because I don’t trust what he could do. I couldn’t kill him either, I had to wa
~Damien~The huskiness in her voice filled me with desires that almost drove me over the edge, I stared hungrily at her as I hurriedly take off my shirt and trousers. She watch me as I take it off and my boxers came right after.I smirked seeing the look on her face when she saw my cock and she swallowed nervously. My shaft looked a little too wide for her and my bulging head was as if it was going to explode.I stroke my cock slowly and set myself upon her. I savage her mouth with my lips and my hands knead her breast as I found my down to her slick folds with my cock and caress her entrance with the head and I rubbed them eagerly. She moaned into my mouth and gripped tight on me. I pushed two fingers into her wet pussy and make my thumb roll around her sensitive nub. She gasped slightly at the pain as I pushed my fingers deep inside her walls. I pumped in and out of her and slowly added another finger, curling them inside of her. “Damien...fuck..I can’t...”She murmured as I push
~Viola~I cried my eyes out all through the night outside the bedroom door of Damien while he lay on the bed with his eyes closed, I waited to know what was happening with him in the room. “Hey, Monica,” Lucas called me. I chuckled sadly as the tears came out of my eyes. I couldn’t believe he was mistaking my name again. “He’s gonna be fine. Damien is strong don’t worry he’s gonna live. You trust him don’t you?” I nodded at Lucas and wiped my eyes. “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t get close to him. It’s all because of me he was attacked by his trusted Gemma. It’s all because of me!” I bawled. Lucas hugged me and rubbed my back soothingly. “You must know, it’s not gonna be easy. We Lycan hate wolves with our lives and you’re caught in all of it. Even though you’re innocent they don’t want to know. Do you still think you can stay at Damien’s side?” Lucas asked when he tied my hair behind my head and made me look at him. “Can you stay with Damien? If you can’t this is your chance
~Damien~“Enough!” I barked at the pack doctor. His shoulders sagged and he moved away from me. I fluttered my eyes at the bright light. I must have blanked out, Dugan groans when I tried to sit and I fell back on the bed again.I was already healing and wasn’t feeling much of the pain. “How long have I been here?” I scowled at the pack doctor. “You’ve only spent a night, King Damien.” He answered with his head lowered and his body trembled in fright. “Take this out.” I pointed at the needles he pierced in my hand. He shrink back and his hands were shaky. I took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, I pulled them out and tossed them at his feet. “Where is...just get out!” I waved at him dismissively. He bowed and didn’t hesitate to make his way out of the room. I wanted to call him back that he forgot his box but I did not know what he was called but I know he had worked here for a long time as the pack doctor. I’m not supposed to know everyone’s name am I?“King Damien, are y
