Damien's POV
I drove my car into the mansion and I furrowed my brows when I saw Tina pacing the corridor with a sullen look on her face.
I had left the girl in my room and rushed out early this morning for some political meeting.
I hope nothing is wrong with her. My heart tightened in my chest as I thought of what could be wrong.
Did she leave?
As soon as Tina saw my car, she rushed up to me with tears in her eyes.
I bit my bottom lip as she approached my car with her slutty outfit.
I had told her to stop dressing like this in the mansion.
I packed the car and got out of the car. Tina rushed up to me and started crying.
“Sir…” she wailed, shaking her legs and her boobs almost fell out of her dress as she shook.
I looked up from her boobs and at her face to see her eyes were red and puffy.
“What happened, Tina?” I asked, my heart throbbing as I prayed silently that she wouldn't say something had happened to the girl in my room.
“Sir Damien, it's Sir Daniel,” Tina cried as she threw her arms around my waist and hugged me.
I licked my lips as I tried to compress my irritation, she pressed her boobs against my tummy and I looked down at her and gritted my teeth.
Tina is fond of using every opportunity to get close to me and touch me. I have told her countless times to stop touching me, but she doesn't listen.
Anytime I threaten to fire her, she always talks about her sick old mother that she needs to feed.
She always takes advantage of my kindness and generosity to do as she likes, including dressing inappropriately around me.
I remember the night she screamed and ran into my room with just a towel on, shouting of a ghost and trying to creep into me in bed.
I had tried to drive her out of my room, when she let go of her towel and stood stack naked with me in my room alone that night.
It took so much self-control to hold myself, coupled with the fact that I hadn't tasted a woman in a long time.
That night she tried to hold and touch me, pleading to sleep in my room, because of the ghosts in her room.
I just pushed her out of my room and dumped her towel on her before I closed the door.
She stayed outside my room till the next morning. David asked her to come to his room instead, but she declined, and it was when I threatened her she told me she was sorry and that she would manage her haunted room.
“What did Daniel do?” I asked as I pried open her hand off my waist and pushed her away.
“He scolded me,” she said with a pout.
I breathed out relief as soon as I heard her reason.
Thank goodness it has nothing to do with that girl.
I looked up and saw her.
I froze as I gawked at her and all Tina was saying didn't even enter my ear.
Her blonde hair waved as she stepped out into the open, outside the mansion, her large green eyes fixed on me.
Her pale, soft-looking skin, that looked like it needed my touch, was slender under my big polo, and her slender legs.
Shit, why is there a bandage on her thigh?
I looked back up at her face and noticed Daniel was by her side, holding her hand as they stood far-off staring at me.
I looked down at the bandage on her thigh, and I was sure that it wasn't there in the morning.
Did she hurt herself?
I shoved Tina out of my way, and she staggered to the side with her mouth wide as I walked briskly to her.
She looked up at me and bit her bottom lip as I neared her.
I could hear her heartbeat. With every step I took near her, her heartbeat increased.
Why is her heart beating so fast?
I reached her and I stood in front of her with her eyes locked in mine.
I took her hand from Daniel and pulled her to the side with me.
Daniel glared at me as I took her away. She gave him a stare, and he smiled at her before she looked back at him.
“What happened to you?” I asked her softly.
She raised her brow and asked, “What?”
I touched the bandage on her thigh, and she shuddered as my finger got in contact with her skin.
“This… how did it happen?” I asked.
She kept mute and looked past me. I followed her gaze and looked at my back to see her looking at Tina, who held her head low, as she stared at her finger.
I furrowed my brow, “Did Tina hurt you?”
I asked and balled my fist.
Tina dared not do that, she would see the very worst of me.
I left her hand and turned to Tina.
“Tina!” I thundered, and she flinched and looked up at me.
“Si… Sir,” she stuttered her response.
“What happened to her?” I growled through gritted teeth as I slowly approached Tina.
“Sir, Damien… I poured hot tea on my thigh by mistake. Tina did nothing to me.”
I halted as soon as I heard her speak behind me.
“Serafine… what are you saying?” Daniel asked as he walked up to her.
Serafine?
Her name is Serafine.
Serafine turned to Daniel and blinked at him.
I stared in confusion at both of them.
Daniel turned to me, “Damien… she is fine now. I have already tended to her wounds.”
I gulped as I heard his words, “You did?” I asked as I looked at the big polo she wore. It was short and barely touched her mid-thigh.
That means he had touched her.
“Are you the one who brought me here last night?” she asked softly.
I nodded and tried to brush off the thought of Daniel touching her from my mind.
“Thank you for bringing her back home, Damien,” Daniel said with a smile as he took her hand, and I furrowed my brow.
“Back?” I asked out loud, “Do you know each other?”
I was about to ask her when my phone rang.
“Excuse me,” I said to her and I took out my phone from my pocket and saw that it was Henry on the line.
I walked to the side and picked up the phone.
“Henry… why are you calling me? I just left you a while ago,” I said impatiently to him.
“Sorry Alpha, but I have urgent information,” he said.
“Go on,” I said as I crossed my brows.
“I had spoken to the beta of the Fiery Fang pack and I discussed the fact that you didn't want war with them but peace.”
I nodded my head as I awaited his response, “Yes, go on?”
“They agreed to a meeting with you here in Freedom Pack… the meeting has been scheduled for the 15th of next month,” he concluded.
I nodded in satisfaction, “Good, let us hope the meeting does not turn into havoc this time around.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
I ended the call and dropped the phone in my pocket.
My jaw dropped as I saw a very rare sight.
David was slugging into the mansion through the gates looking so dirty and unkempt.
Dark circles in his eyes as he had his gaze down, and he walked in like he was tired of life itself.
Why is he looking so downcast? Where did he spend the night?
These men are really up to no good. What trouble did he get himself in now?
One of them put his hand on my girl and the other spent the night out, only to come back looking like he had run out of a rathole.
David's POVI have been out all night, and still no sign of her.I ran my hand through my blonde hair as my chest tightened.Who knows where she might be, is she safe?I walked in through the gate into the mansion and my eyes caught Damien making a phone call.I gritted my teeth as I saw how he stared at him. He is always cold and emotionless.There is no need to talk to him, he would never understand what love truly means.I sighed as I walked past Tina, and I raised my gaze to see Daniel standing in front of someone.I tried to see who it was, but Daniel was obstructing my view.Why is my heart throbbing all of a sudden?Why am I itching to see who that is?I hastened up my step and I walked up to Daniel.I shoved him to the side and my eyes met the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen.My heart shrunk immediately when I saw her. I cupped her face as I tried to see if it was my eyes playing games with me.But no, it's her, I can feel her.“Where…” I said dryly.She looked up, a
Serafine's POV“Ughhh” I grunted as I reached the corridor.“Why can't they just be together in peace… why does it have to be this way?”I turned towards the room I had woken up in.Damien's room.“I guess this isn't where I should be… it would only make them fight about it… I'll just find a vacant room and stay.”I said as I walked down the corridor with my hands holding each other behind my back.I passed a room and I paused.Why does something pull me from this room?The same happened this morning while I was walking down this alley and ended up in the study.I faced the room and I stared in through the top glass part of the door.All the furniture was covered with white cloth, including the frame on the wall, which grabbed my attention.I sensed someone breathing slowly beside me and I flinched when I turned to see Daniel's sea-blue eyes peering at me with his head just beside mine.“What are you doing here?” I asked as my heartbeat increased because of the shock he gave me.He st
Serafine's POVI walked around the room with a white towel tied around my chest, it hung just below my bum.I had another towel on my hair as I tried to clean it dry.I sat on a stool in front of the mirror, threw the towel on my bed, took the blow-dryer and started to blow dry my hair.I crossed my legs as I took a hot brush and started to run it through my hair as I blew it.The noise and warm breeze made me close my eyes, my face twitched as my stomach growled in hunger.I haven't had anything to eat for breakfast and it's almost noon.I had better get done with this and go get something to eat.I opened my eyes and I threw the blow dry on the floor in shock as I stood up to my feet.I was about to fall when the one who had scared the freak out of me held one of my hands and pulled me to him as he grabbed me around my waist with his other hand.“David?” I called out softly, still dazed with shock.He nodded as he tried to make me balance back on my feet.But how the heck do I stand
Damien's POV I stared at Daniel's and David's backs as they walked away from me. At that point, I knew not to believe all Daniel said or not. What's the point? I turned and saw Tina staring at me with wide, wet eyes. “Damien?” She called out softly and my insides turned. How dare she call me by my name? I gritted my teeth as I tried to hold my anger and watched her walk up to me. I stared at her as she stood inches away from me. “Damien,” she said softly as she held her hands together and stared down at her hand. “Damien?” I asked in surprise. She looked up at me and I stepped back. Why does she look so… she looks crazy? “Damien… I am crazy about you… please don't leave me, let your brothers have her, I am going to be yours alone.” I staggered back in shock. “Tina…” I called slowly with my eyes shut. I felt her touch my hand and I opened my eyes, raging. I pushed her to the side, and she stumbled and fell on the floor. “I will not be repeating this, Tina… the next tim
Tina’s POVOh shit, Damien’s cock is so huge.I wrapped my hands around his thigh as I went deep throat on his hardened cock.I had gone to his room to beg him to at least give me a chance, but he just ignored me, and then he went, stuck naked and entered the bathroom.I know I should just have left, but I can't leave after seeing his hot naked body.I had to take a chance on him myself since he wouldn’t give me one.I got undressed and entered the bathroom with him. I am sure he won’t be able to resist after seeing my nakedness.Oh, the sight of seeing him wet and dripping water in the bathroom was heavenly. I gulped hungrily as my pussy started to drip juice before I had gotten in the shower with him.He opened his eyes and stared at me. He was shocked to find me, but he looked down at my round perky boobs, and then his eyes traveled down my tummy to my pussy and I felt a tingle in my pussy.Even though he was looking shocked, I liked how he looked at me.He closed his eyes at once
Damien’s POVI balled my fist as I stared at her round ass in front of me. I can’t remember the last time I had sex with a woman, since my father passed, and I took over the Alpha’s responsibility. I had been so busy that I neglected my sexual needs.I ran my hand over my wet blonde hair as I stared at her, she lowered her back even more, and her full pussy lips smeared with creamy juice came fully into view.Fuck, this looks so good, but.I looked down at my nodding fully erect cock a few inches away from her creamy goodness and I gulped, it had been so long and Tina had awakened the sleeping dragon.My hand was still on one of her butt cheeks, I pushed it aside and nearly came when I saw her hole gaping at me.I am going to lose my mind if I don’t have fuck her to relieve myself.I stepped up to her and my nodding cock kissed her pussy and she shuddered and moved away.I grabbed her waist and held her still, “Stay still!” I ordered as I pushed her to me.“Ahh, yes Daddy,” she said i
Daniel’s POVI whistled as I closed my laptop and covered the files I was working on, I got up to my feet and stretched out my hands above my head. I smiled as the thought of going to meet Serafine in her room crossed my mind, “All work and no play, makes Daniel a dull boy.”I walked out of the study and went down the alley as I walked towards Serafine’s room.She hasn’t come out of her room all day. I wonder what she is up to.As I passed by Damien’s room I froze.“How dare you, Tina? How dare you come into my bathroom naked, how dare you touch me… how dare you suck me you bitch!”My eyes bulged out in shock when I heard those words.“What did she do to him? Naked? Touch? Suck?” I asked out loud in shock.Shit!I opened the door of his room and rushed in to see Damien holding a naked Tina by her neck.“Damn,” I breathed as my eyes scanned Tina’s naked body.I blinked as I looked away and noticed she was about to die in Damien’s hands.“Stop Damien,” I said as I rushed to him and pu
Damien’s POVI gritted my teeth as I saw Tina tighten her grip around Daniel’s waist... She even buried her face in his crotch.I looked up and noticed Daniel’s face had become red, and he stared down at her naked body as he froze.Is she trying to seduce him too?Daniel has a striking resemblance with me, except for his dusty brown hair and less muscular physique. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had an eye for him too.I stepped forward and pushed her away from him. She gasped as she hit her back on the wall, her perky boobs bouncing with every move she took.I picked up the robe I had offered her from the floor, “I told you to stay away from my brother!” I tossed the robe at her, “Put that on!”“Put that on already, Tina… before I lose my mind,” Daniel said as he turned away from her.Tina picked up the robe and got up to her feet, she turned and started to wear the robe slowly.I almost laughed, “Don’t tell me you are shy Tina, wear that robe quickly, or else I’ll drag you out of m
"You are free to choose your path, Abigail. You are stronger than his lies."The voice of Serafine sounded in my head-a small beacon of light tearing through the darkness that had consumed my mind for far too long. I felt the magic of Lucian clutching at my throat, seeking to snuff out the light, but something buried deep within me had started to stir-a truth hidden even from myself.The visions that had wracked my mind finally dissipated, and I saw Lucian's face, twisted in anticipation. He thought he had me, that he'd won, but he had no idea yet.I drew a deep breath and let the tumult of what was happening around us fade to a silent hush. Now or never. "You're right, Lucian," I said, willing my tone to stay even. "I do know what I must do."His face twisted in a triumphing leer. "Then fulfill your destiny," he hissed, reptilian.I met his stare, eyes slitting. "I already have."Before Lucian could even react, I harnessed a surge of magic deep within me and let it explode, shatteri
As we entered deep into the tunnel , the walls seemed to close in on us. Every step that we took resounded against the blackness.With every minute, the air grew heavier as we re-approached the stronghold of Lucian, taut with tension, as every step weighed upon me. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face him; there was just no more time left for doubts. The course of events that would ensue would seal my family's fate. and maybe even my own.As we emerged from the final tunnel, the entrance to Lucian's lair loomed ahead: a dark fortress built into the side of the cavern wall. Shadows seemed to gather around it, twisting and curling like smoke. A shiver crawled down my spine as we approached, but I forced myself to stay calm. We had a plan, even if it was full of risks.We burst through the main entrance, our magic flaring to life as we fought our way inside. The clash of spells and clash of swords was heavy in the air as Lucian's forces swarmed us. I fought beside Damien, my heart r
"We have to go after them!"Still, the last words of Damien were echoing in my ears when I finally found a moment to slip from the crowd. I pounded inside my chest, not just from the fight, but from the turmoil inside me-from Owen's betrayal-but something clanged furiously in my head. The storm at my center tore me asunder.Down a catwalk, I came to a small alcove where the darkness just about ate up any light. The cool stone walls bit into my back as I leaned against them trying to calm my breathing and the thoughts that raced through my mind. Just as I closed my eyes, a voice whispered from behind me in the dark."You look troubled, Abigail."My eyes flew open, and in that instant, my pulse shot up as finally the man stepped out of the shadows. The air seemed to have grown cold with his presence, his eyes shining with both mirth and something darker."What do you want?" I asked, trying not to let my voice show the shaking inside me.He leaned his head, lips curling into a thin s
"Make your choice."The lieutenant's voice continued to ring in my mind, even as I ran wildly through the tunnels, my breathing rough. My heart pounded in my chest, and for one wild moment, the dark temptation of his offer pressed upon me. Betray Serafine and the pack… save myself. It was a coward's choice, a traitor's path. But a small part of me, the part of me that had doubted whether I was strong enough to protect them-whispered that maybe it could be our chance. No, I told myself sharply. I couldn't let my mind go there. I pushed it away and refocused on finding the others. I would never betray my family no matter how bad things got.Rounding a corner, I nearly collided with Damien. Relief danced across his face to see me, yet was speckled with urgency. "Daniel, thank the Moon you're here. We need to regroup—Lucian's forces are closing in fast."I nodded and fell into step beside him as we sprinted down the tunnel. The sounds of far-off fighting got louder with every step.
The earth around me opened with so much fierceness, a low rumbling that seemed to tear the very earth asunder.Before I could even turn, the ground had split, and I was tumbling into chaos. I landed on hard earth, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. It was all chaos, dust, falling rocks, the sound of distant shouting echoing off cavern walls. As I struggled to my feet, the dust began to settle and my eyes adjusted to the dim light filtering down from above.I froze, the image around me blurring as my mind tried to wrap itself around what was happening. We fell into some sort of large underground chamber, ancient and hauntingly beautiful. Strange symbols carved into the stone walls glowed with a silvery tint of light, unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was a relic left behind by some lost, magical civilization, long forgotten by the world above.But it was what was at the center of the room that took my breath away, there was some sort of pedestal, and on top of th
"Mom!"My own voice is returned in the darkness and the storm pounds until I feel the edge of exhaustion. The darkness courses through my body, shaking me to the core, threatening to swallow me whole in its depths. I pulled myself together, trying until I was suddenly aware that the air had shifted. The temperature drops, a coldness running down my spine. I sense him before I see him-Lucian.Lucian emerges from whirling shadows, stepping forward. Something authoritative in his figure, something coldly calm about the manner in which he advances through the chaos erupting in the air around us, draws my gaze irresistibly his way. Gleaming dark eyes fasten on me, a cold dread rising up in my chest. He raises a hand, and in but a gesture, the whirling storm around me begins to settle, as if even magic I struggle to grasp bends to his will."Enough of this, Abigail," he says smoothly, tone laced with a command. "Stop struggling with the man. You waste your breath on one not even worth
"This is my fight now."I can feel the weight of those words as I unleash the magic inside me, channeling everything I have into this strange man who surprisingly was as strong or perhaps stronger than I am. The air crackles and hums, vibrating with energy that seems to move with time to my heartbeat. I watch as his expression changes, his eyes widening in surprise. Then I feel something else, a shift deep inside, a change that isn't altogether my own.I feel some strength gathering within me, and in an instant, it runs hard through my veins. The energy suddenly surges and explodes inside me like a continuing storm ready to tear me apart. With each surge, it becomes so much stronger than the one before and I am fighting hard to keep it inside me. My hands are shaking terribly, and my breathing is reduced. With a sense of anticipation, I realize that I could be losing this battle not to this man in front of me but to myself.Stay back!" I scream, but it sounds more like I'm plea
"Do you feel that? What is this?"The words echo in my mind as I step into the clearing,the chaotic power, like a hurricane, surrounds me. I followed my mother for quite a long time when the air changed, it tugged at me begging me to follow her to this place before it was too late.Now, from behind the scenes, I finally see before me the scene of Serafine standing in front of the mysterious man who had set into action so much pain and manipulation, The air is really crackling with tension, and the dark magic wraps them like a cover."Let her go!" I scream, my voice carrying across the clearing. The weight of my power surges forward inside me, tightening against the reins of my control. I don't think, I act.They both turn to me then, surprised across the man's face. "You!" he exclaims, his composure cracking for a moment. "What are you doing here?"I move forward, my veins coursing with determination and fear. "I felt your presence," I say, locking eyes with him. "I knew you we
"We have to keep running until there's no other choice but to fight."With every step, it beats in my chest, fighting my way through the thick underbrush of the forest, placing distance between myself and chaos at the stronghold. The darkness wraps around me. My mind races with thoughts of all that has brought me to this moment in life. The weight of the world is held on my shoulders and with it, the balance of my family's fate.Before me, I see the bush he told me to meet him at, with every step my pulse quickens. The thought of his wicked grin seems to flash before my mind a chilling reminder of my bargain struck. A deep breath is taken and in it, I steady myself for what is about to be. Strong, though frightened, I must be.Finally reaching the place, it is bathed in moonlight, the tall grass gently swaying with the wind of the night. There he was, waiting to see me with that annoying smirk, arms folded at his chest, as if the world belongs to him. "Serafine," he calls, with
