DamonI paced around in my room, walking from one corner to the other. I was very angry. I felt my heart tighten in pain. How could she? How could she let another man, who was not her mate, touch her?I went to her room this morning to check if she was gone. I had made up my mind to forget about her. Even though it was hard, I’d try; I was only torturing myself, hoping and waiting that she'd be mine someday.She didn’t even know we were mates, plus she’s so smitten with this weird guy that it annoyed me badly. Waiting on her would only be a big mistake. I wanted to fight for her, but nothing was encouraging me to do so. All my efforts so far have proven to be futile.What hurt me the most was that she had the effrontery to sleep with her boyfriend in my house under my nose. I felt my heart break all over again as I remembered how she was moaning loudly. It was as if I was betrayed all over again, considering I had experienced Mia’s betrayal too some months ago.I knew I didn’t have the
RoxanneI hurried out of the store, joining Kylian in the car. A thousand and one things were going through my mind when I entered the car. Why did he lie about his powers being trapped inside of him like mine when he has his powers? What other thing was he hiding?We settled down in the car, strapping our seat belts around us as he drove the car. I sat there in silence, waiting for him to say something and give me some sort of explanation, but he said nothing. He wasn’t even sparing me a glance.What the hell was wrong with Kylian? Why was he acting this way? I’ve never known him to be a liar or a less affair kind of person, or is it possible he concealed his true self from me? “Don’t you think you owe me some sort of explanation?” I decided to ask since he’d rather sulk in silence than explain properly to me what the hell went on in Moscow's store.“What explanation? He asked, narrowing his eyes but not still sparing me a glance. Was this guy seriously kidding right now? Why was he
Roxanne“Get your hands off me, please,” I pleaded, but it all fell on deaf ears. I tried struggling with the chains, but my efforts were futile. I looked over at Damon with pleading eyes, but he just stood there, staring coldly at me. “We didn’t do anything wrong; let us go, free us, and we’d leave your pack this instant,” I shouted panickedly. Was this because we had delayed leaving the pack? Of course, it couldn’t be that, but I was confused and at a loss for words. What other reason could Damon have for asking his guards to bundle us up in chains?Turning around, I looked over to see Kylian struggling with the chains; he was very strong, and he almost broke loose. He used his powers, and two guards came crashing to the floor. That was when the chief guard ordered them to use mercury on him, which immediately made him weak.I watched as he fell to the ground weakly, his face pale as if the blood in his body had dried up. The thing is, mercury was one of the things used to make wer
RoxanneThey dragged me out of the hall, returning me to the cell. The guards locked the door to the cell and stood in front of it, guarding it. I felt so weak and hungry and I couldn’t believe Damon would ask them to return me to the cell like that.I mean, I was telling the truth, so why didn’t he believe me? He should know me better by now that I wasn’t one to lie, but I guess he’ll always continue being a jerk.My tummy was hurting badly due to how hungry I was, and I winced out in pain. Kylian looked over at me with concern in his eyes, and I just stared away. I was confused about so many things. Is it possible he was truly the son of the Alpha of Darkwood?But yesterday he had only told me about how wicked his father was, how he was a monster, and how he had used their blood to create a bond that only he could break, so if truly he was the son of the Alpha of Darkwood, why did he leave that part out?Some things were not making sense to me; why was he hiding things from me now?
Damon I paced around my room, thinking of what to do the next morning. I wasn’t able to sleep well, just thinking about the possibility that Roxanne might be in pain. Yesterday, when she appeared before the werewolf council, she looked tattered and worn out.It made my heart ache that I was the one subjecting her to such pain, but there was little to nothing I could do. That was the law; allies to invading spies were meant to be punished and imprisoned, and doing otherwise was going to raise whispers in the council.I didn’t doubt her. I believed she had no idea that her fiancé was the son of the Alpha of Darkwood. I could see the surprise on her face yesterday when I revealed the information.That look on her face wasn’t one that could be faked. She looked surprised, and the shock was evident on her face. I could tell why she was surprised; the Alpha of Darkwood was the one that launched the attack on our pack that had led to the death of her parents.I mean, finding out your fiancé
Damon What the hell was she saying? What did she mean by they may never hear from their wolf, transform, or be able to use their powers again?"Uhm, why do you say so?” I asked hurriedly. I knew this was a selfish thought, but what quickly came to mind was the fact that Roxanne might never get to know she’s my second chance mate, and the thought seemed to make bile rise in my throat. “Yes, they may never hear from their wolf, transform, or be able to use their powers again due to the damage the portion had caused already." She paused to stare at me and Leo, and I quickly stared back at her as if trying to search her eyes for answers. “Usually, this only occurs if the werewolf involved is careless with the people around them or overly trusting. So what happened in this case was that the portion was added to every meal this person in question has eaten over the last two years.”I felt my head spinning; what was the reason? Why would anyone want to do such a terrible thing to their fe
Roxanne:I woke up the next morning feeling a bit agile; the only thing on my mind was how Kylian and I were going to successfully escape together. I was getting sick and tired of this place already. They had released us from the chains yesterday, but the door was still heavily guarded, making it impossible to even think of escaping.I glanced over at Kylian and found him sleeping; all his wounds had healed completely thanks to his powers. I still had some bruises on my hands and legs due to how tight the chains were.A guard opened the door to the cell and served us breakfast. “Just bacon and eggs??” I asked; I was so hungry and I could hear my stomach rumbling, so serving just bacon and eggs for breakfast kind of got me pissed off.“You don’t want to eat? I could take the food back inside, so you starve.” The guard replied to me in a rude tone. I grabbed the food from his hand as he turned away to leave, giving him a dirty glare in the process.My mind reflected on the fact that we
DamonI watched as she ran away from the room in tears. I couldn’t stop her, even if I wanted to. I was expecting it already, as it was normal for her to feel pained and betrayed. She had loved this guy very much, and as much as it was hard for me to admit, the love she had for him was very evident.I couldn’t help but wonder what might be the reason why he tried to steal her powers. First, his father launches an attack that wipes off her family, and now his son comes to her as a lover and tries to steal her powers. It was too much to process.And as for Kylian, I was going to kill him if Roxanne tries to harm herself; I’ll fucking burn him down if I find out he has also done something else to her.I felt bad that I had let her go in the past, and she had to suffer all this and also have to meet this treacherous bastard. She didn’t do anything to deserve all this, and I couldn’t even protect her, yet I had fed her to the wolves.I made to step inside my bathroom to freshen up when a vi
