No sooner the class ended than Emmaline threw her bag on her back and exited the class. Weaving her way through the throng of students that were laughing and gossiping with each other, she made it to the exit of her department and left for the cafeteria.As soon as she reached there, the delicious aroma of the eateries wafting through the air hit her nostrils. Her stomach grumbled loudly. Emmaline wrapped her arms around her stomach as the poor girl was starving. She hadn't eaten anything for the last two days but there was nothing she could do to feed her empty stomach.Emmaline darted her eyes around. She gulped down her drool watching her colleagues enjoying the hamburger, fries, lasagna, and varieties of meals decorated on their tables.For the first time in her life, she felt the pain of loneliness. Though she had always pushed everyone away willingly, her heart always longed to get a single glance of concern. A person who truly cares for her but sadly, she had none.Feeling her
Matteo's P.O.V.Damn, I just hate chaos.I told Dad that I didn't need to be admitted to a university to complete my education. I could have done that by myself but he just doesn't listen.I was so pissed since morning. Reasons? Man, I have a never-ending list.Firstly, when I entered my class, a swarm of caked bees attacked me but the saddest part is that they have been chasing me since morning. I hate socializing, but I know it's not their fault. They are only trying to befriend me but my silence must have given them the innuendo.Somehow, I succeeded in saving myself from these piranhas who were eyeing me as if I were a snack. Entering the cafeteria, I just bought a coke for myself and turned to leave when I saw a skimpy figure beside me vacillating in the air. I immediately leaped to help her but my hands froze midway.She was again a girl.Oh No.Without wasting time, I forwarded my legs not to help her but to leave this place. No way, I am gonna invite any more trouble for mysel
Emmaline remained frozen in Damien’s arms who held her closer to his chest, too afraid to let her go. She tried not to let her mind sway and stayed on her toes but the moment his warmth penetrated her skin, she let her guard down. Her wolf purred, relishing the enchanting scent which Emma didn’t deny, not this time.Emmaline closed her eyes and leaned her head on his chest. The lub-dub of his heart pacified her, easing up her troubled mind. No matter how much she hates him, she couldn't resist the comfort his touch always provided her.On the other hand, Damien's grey eyes lit up in joy when Emmaline snuggled into him. His heart raced at their proximity but what threw him off his feet was her hidden consent. That’s the power of the mate bond, something which they both neither can resist nor deny."It's alright. I am here Princess; your Damien is always for you." Damien cooed in her ear and kissed her temple.His words stirred her withered feelings.Emmaline was overwhelmed because thi
Saying that Emmaline twisted the knob and exited the room without sparing him another glance.The room fell into an eerily silence. For a few seconds, his mind couldn’t comprehend her words.She rejected him.He lost his mate. Damien couldn’t take this news as he fell to the ground on his knees with a thud. Lost in despair, he continued staring at the door through which Emmaline left after shattering his heart. His eyes held agony, disbelief, hurt, and most importantly regret.He was about to amend his mistakes. The relentless Alpha even put aside his ego and prepared himself to beg for her forgiveness. He was ready to do everything in his power to woo her back but what was the use? She doesn’t even want him. She put a blind eye to his efforts and straightaway turned him down.So, brutally. So, heartlessly. His brows joined together when he felt wetness on his cheek. Wiping it with his finger, Damien brought it near his face and stared at his damp skin for a second.He was crying.
Emmaline was walking through the hallways absentmindedly. She tried to stabilize her mind but it kept drifting back to Damien. The broken look in his eyes. His crestfallen face. And the red streaks that started to form in his eyes the moment she stepped up to leave him. She knew what she had done was a necessary move. How can she develop feelings for the person who had only given her pain? But if that’s the truth then why his longed face bothered her so much? Suddenly something caught her eye that made her stop dead in her tracks. Emmaline started to shake in her shoes. She hadn't paid the fees for this semester yet and to pile up her embarrassment, her name was at the top of the list of fee defaulters. Her heart jittered as it was a huge stain on her pride. After receiving the salary, the first thing Emmaline used to do was to pay her fees. She never missed it but today her empty pocket turned her helpless. Emmaline broke out in cold sweats. Today her name was on the defaulte
"Let's head to the new topic, now."Professor Smith spoke while adjusting his glasses. Heading to the whiteboard, he picked up the marker to write when suddenly a man of 6'2" barged into the class.Enraged, Smith opened his mouth to rebuke him but his words were left hanging as the guy blatantly ignored him and headed to sit. People gaped at his audacity as they looked at him and then at the Professor who was raging like a bull."MATTEO SIMONS, DIDN'T I WARN YOU BEFORE TO STAY OUT OF MY CLASS?" He shouted but the contumacious kid paid him no heed and kept walking with his eyes scanning the room, looking for someone.The girls immediately turned cautious as his bluish-green orbs checked each one of them keenly. They quickly corrected their frizzy hair, trying to look presentable as Matteo was someone who came straight from their imaginations.Only if they knew that the guy whom they were trying to appease had someone else in his mind.Matteo stiffened when his eyes landed on the silver
"What the hell do you think you're doing?", Emmaline spat and jerked her hand away from Matteo which he let her. Stepping back, he simply dipped his hands in the pocket of his trousers before staring at her with a straight face.Emmaline was astounded at his behavior. His eyes held no emotion as if he hadn't just dragged her in between an ongoing lecture. He was cool as a cucumber and on top of that his silence was fueling up her anger more."LISTEN, YOU DUMBASS, DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO TOUCH ME AGAIN. I AM SPARING YOU THIS TIME BUT NEXT TIME, I WOULD CHOP YOUR HANDS OFF” Emmaline yelled and immediately wheeled around to leave."Stefanini Enterprises."His deep voice echoed in the hallway making Emmaline freeze in her steps. Frowning, she turned around but almost got a heart attack finding him standing so close to her. Emmaline quickly moved back and again shifted her eyes toward him when he suddenly held a card in front of her eyes taking her off guard."What-""My father's company. M
"FUCKING HELL!!!"Damien roared while flipping the table with his right hand making it crash on the wall.Zion who was standing near the door shuddered in fright watching his friend's violent outburst. He was cognizant of Damien's anger issues but he had never thought that the man who always thinks of girls as tissues would go berserk over a teen's rejection."HERE, I AM WAITING FOR HER PATIENTLY, BEARING HER TANTRUMS ONLY OUT OF RESPECT AS I DON'T WANT HER HATING ME AND SHE IS STILL ADAMANT ON HER FUCKING PLEDGE!!" Shouting, Damien pulled his hair in frustration and this time threw his chair on the window pane. The glass shattered making a loud noise which was enough to alert the staff of the company that their Boss had lost his mind.Emmaline despite his pleadings turned down his proposal. Damien was furious but at the same time, he felt utterly helpless. He didn't want to take a step that would push her away from him."It wouldn't have taken me a minute to drag her here and made he
"When a woman takes revenge, even the demon sits down to take lessons"“ENOUGH!!!”Emmaline yelled at the top of her lungs. Her face was drenched in tears but she continued glaring through her misted eyes showing him the glimpse of hatred his words had stirred inside her.“You’re the worst person I’ve ever met in my life. Shame... fucking shame on you.” She seethed, her voice trembling depicting how much she was mad. Rubbing his cheek, Damien whipped his burning gaze at her. Pressing his lips in a thin line, he stalked closer to her when Emmaline raised her palm making him halt.“No, don’t you dare,” She snarled with a clenched jaw shocking him.“You’ve lost the right to approach me. You’ve all the respect in my eyes. Mate you say, I wouldn’t even own a fucking pet like you. Today you surpassed all the limits of cruelty. I gave you my innocence and you… I can’t believe you. So, I was right all along. This has been your plan since the beginning. I was such a fool to come into your trap
"Perhaps you forgot that I am the bigger player, sweetheart"EmmalineThe moment I opened my eyes, I came face to face with Damien who was sleeping beside me like a baby. His arms were wrapped around me tightly and his face looked peaceful. How can someone look so handsome yet cute while sleeping?Last night was fabulous. I thought that I would start my morning with tears and my chest constricting in regret feeling embarrassed of my actions but instead, it was just the opposite. I felt energetic and complete. As if a boulder has been lifted off my shoulder.I’ve realized that in order to accomplish my goal, the first and most important thing I have to do is accept who I am. I am a Lycan and to make it easier, I am not a human. So, I have to abandon those feelings and forget about my past life. I ain’t Emmaline Dawson anymore but Emmaline Knight, Luna of Shadowed Banes who in reality is a Lycan’s Princess. Whose purpose of life is to destroy the Shadowed Banes and restore the supremacy
Mature content 18+The golden lights poured into the room illuminating the two figures that were entangled on the bed like vines. Where one was still cherishing the dreams, the other was wide awake staring at his dream.Damien had a small smile on his face as he watched Emmaline who was sleeping like a baby in his arms. Her one arm was coiled around his waist as she hugged him tightly with her legs on his muscular thighs, straddling him. She was snoring like a baby which indicated that she was a heavy sleeper because it was past 8 when she usually wakes up before dawn. But looks like today she took a day off.His eyes caressed her face and rested on her parted lips. Scooting closer, Damien cupped her face and caressed her cheek with his thumb. His eyes exuded the mad love he has for her. His eyes then dropped to her cleavage which was on full display. Instantly his smile faltered but surprisingly, no expression crossed his eyes as he pulled the duvet up and covered her chest before pr
The blue eyes that hadn't gotten a wink of sleep were dead set on the man who was sprawled on the bed with his eyes closed. His handsome face glowed under the moonlight that seeped into the room through the slits of the white blinds draped over the huge French windows.With her cheek squished against her left fist and her elbow resting against the armrest of the chair, Emmaline didn't let her eyes stray for a moment and kept them fixated on Damien. Her mind was blank, with no thoughts, no feelings, nothing. She felt empty, her face completely devoid of emotions. Her skin was laced with goosebumps because of the freezing winds that came gushing inside the room with a loud rumble but even they failed to break her trance.After embarrassing the Knight couple, Zion left Emmaline alone with Damien. The Alpha didn't regain consciousness because of the severe injuries and heavy doses of medicines. So before leaving Zion had requested her to dress his wounds but no sooner had he left the room
"Argg!!"Groaning out loud, Emmaline massaged her head as she stood up from the ground. Her face contorted in discomfort as she could feel the twigs and grass piercing her skin."God. It feels like I have been run over by a truck."Biting her lips, she brought her aching legs closer to her chest and glanced at her naked self which was covered in dirt. She scrunched her nose and began brushing away the dust when she heard someone calling her from behind."Em-Oh God,"Zion shouted as he approached her from behind only to freeze in place. With eyes widened to the size of saucers, he quickly covered her with a weave he was carrying. Emmaline smiled and wrapped it around her tightly."Here, I bought clothes for you sissy," Ryder grinned as he emerged from Zion's back and handed Emmaline a blue shirt and black trousers."Thanks," Emmaline said and took it from his hands while the two men turned around to let her dress.*****"Well, you were phenomenal last night," Ryder exclaimed as he patt
The winds howled viciously while dark grey clouds covered the entire sky. Emmaline frowned as this was something completely out of the blue considering the weather forecast stated that it would be a clear sky on the full moon night. She curled her fingers around the iron railing and closed her eyes as the wild winds caressed her face and soon disappeared into her messy mane only to make them dance along with them. A smile crept on her face; she angled her face to the sky when a drop of pure water fell on her lips.Emmaline quickly pulled her tongue to savor the drop of the first rain that hit the valley but soon the pitter-patter started. She embraced it with open arms and rejoiced the moment.The girl was frazzled with all the mysterious and new revelations and demanded a break.The most depressing thing is when you have no one by your side to share your problems. Same was with Emmaline. She gets the information from Zion and needs to hide it from Damien. Other than that, she has no
"WHAT??"Emmaline yelled; she didn't expect that."But didn't you say he was a gentleman then why?""Because he loved her. What's wrong with that?" Ryder defended him turning Emmaline stunned."You're favoring him? How could you?""Wait, Ryder. Let me tell her the whole truth." Zion immediately chided Ryder who looked away in annoyance.Zion then turned to Emmaline and grabbed her shoulders."Yes, it was wrong and just like you, your mother opposed it too. She tried everything to escape but all her efforts were ruined by Blade. He never hurt her nor ever forced her into anything. In fact, he took great care of her, making sure that her every demand was fulfilled. Even Seraphina was surprised by the royal treatment she got in his mansion when she was inferior to him. But Blade made sure that no one offends her, he left no stone unturned to win her heart but didn't let her leave him too."His words struck her hard. Emmaline noticed the similarity in her and her mother's life. Both of th
Emmaline stood on the balcony gazing at the eerily quiet packhouse which till morning was filled with hustle and bustle. Tonight, the dangerous gigantic beasts would lurk in the dark, running in the woods, talking to the wind while trampling the dry leaves and twigs with their heavy paws. Their massive forms would be tearing the wind as they would prance in the woods. Emmaline saw how after sunset, the females collected their cubs after completing their chores and packed themselves in houses to clear the way of the hungry wolves in heat who would be searching for their mates and claiming them. Emmaline thanked her stars today as she managed to stay outside the mansion the whole day and did a thorough analysis of the Northern Valley. The whole day she kept noting down the behavior of the denizens. She saw how the she-wolves were eyeing their mates with coy smiles which they returned with a smirk. That came as a shock to her because they were openly seducing each other and no one dare
Emmaline Finally, the night arrived. A night that would unveil all my secrets, the day my life will take a huge and complete turn and the day I will gain my real powers. Tonight was the Full Moon, a day which I have been waiting anxiously for so long. I was in the garden, barefoot waiting for Zion while the whole world was still asleep. It was five in the morning, the time when Damien is in a deep sleep. I was in complete consciousness when he fed me the medicine by his mouth, that was super gross by the way but hey, I had to drink to get healed. That bloody Xander, for sure I will give him a painful death but that awaits the accomplishment of my agenda. Zion was though against my idea, I still put the final seal on it. Because that’s my only option. "You're punctual." My lips curved up hearing that mocking tone that obviously belonged to Zion. "Yeah, so will you tell me the purpose of this secret meeting?" He snorted and strolled towards me while his hands were nestled in the
