His Bane James
“She doesn’t want me anymore”. Dario said to James as he paced around in his office. He had tried to talk to her severally since the day before but she was not having it. His main fear now was that she would reject him, and he knew very well that he wouldn’t be able to survive it especially with the guilt eating away at his heart.“It’s only normal that she’s mad at you. I also would not speak to you for even a year. You deserve it”. James answered clearly not sugarcoating anything. He himself was frustrated at the way his best friend handled issues with his mate. “Firstly, you locked her up as soon as you found her. Not long after she started coming out properly, you imprisoned her, knowing fully well that she had been imprisoned for most of her life. She was painfully transitioning into an elf, but you let her through it alone. Yes,you went to her every day but does she know that? No. Did you going there everyday help her? No. Give me one reason why she should even look at you”.
His Bane Powers
With every second that passed, Marissa discovers a new power. It was endless, and as much as it empowered her, it scared her. “Whoa!”. She exclaimed as a glass shattered just because she sneezed hard. It was obvious that the glass broke because of her and it felt so great that she was so powerful but then, she thought of the downsides. “I could hurt innocent people if I don’t master them all”. She thought to herself as she but her finger thinking about just how long it would take to learn them all. She had discovered that she could literally levitate and that the dream was real, she had telekinesis, she had super strength, she could almost tell what a person was thinking. “Then hurt them”. The voice of the creature came again, standing beside her bed. She still couldn’t see his face as he wore black everywhere with only his eyes showing but she could tell that he was smiling, and she knew it was a sinister one. “Wait! Did I just hear your voice in my head?”. She asks in utter di
His Bane Flashback
As Marissa left the dining room, her only thought was: “I’ll be out of here soon”.She had already drawn a map of the pack using her heightened senses, photographic memory and using the creature whose specialty was to hide in the shadows. The art of escaping was nothing new to her as she had attempted to escape her previous captors severally but was always caught and tortured till she was near death. FlashbackEverytime they were released to take a bath was the only time Marissa could see a place different from her cell. However, they never saw the sun or knew what fresh air felt like but she knew that air was at least coming from somewhere or else, they wouldn’t be able to survive, and she scanned. Acting like she was falling from exhaustion but instead she was just scanning. The falling earned her some hits by the guards.“Stand up you weakling”. They ordered hitting her with the back of their guns. It hurt like her head was smashed into the wall but she continued and fell again
His Bane Unsuccessful Escape
“Put me down this instant!”. Marissa yelled as Dario carried her over his shoulders back into the house. She used her powers on him but they all proved ineffective. “Stop there!”. She spoke to a random guard, just to see if her powers still worked, and the guard immediately stopped.“Why isn’t it working on him then?”. She asks herself as the struggled and struggled to no avail. She was so angry that she could burst from just how angry she was in this moment. She had drawn a map a while ago of the pack house as she had planned to escape a long time ago but changed her mind as Claire and Dario began to grow on her. However, after that he locked her up in the dungeons, she realized that he didn’t really care for her and would lock her up again if his people ask it. She knew she had never been loved before and something deep inside of her craved love, craved Dario, craved a sister like Claire but staying here felt like she was still imprisoned but not fully and freedom was all she h
His Bane The Breakup
“Why won’t you understand that I can’t live without you?!”. Dario yelled as Marissa threw a tantrum about leaving the pack. “Please”. He pleaded, his voice low and shaky this time. He was in a dilemma that he could not solve on his own. It felt like she always brought out the worst side of the beast and the man in him. He had never expected that he would have to keep her behind any closed door against her will, especially after the guilt he felt the last time. However, the mate he had been waiting on for over a century wants to leave him for good, which was equal to rejecting him and the thought drove him mad. “Can you hear how selfish that sounds? Have you ever asked me about what I want?”. Marissa yelled back from behind the door, her outburst causing an electric shock through the door that zapped himHissing, he stepped away from the door with a sigh. “Please promise me that we’ll talk it out when I open the door, or I swear Marissa, I’ll lock it back until you’re calm”. He r
His Bane Accepting Amelia’s Help
Claire had been torn between the two mates who consistently were at each other’s throats, Dario and Marissa. Since Marissa was locked again, Dario had taken it upon himself to bring her to the dining hall himself. Everytime he did, both parties never said a word to each other, and as much as Dario loved to pretend it didn’t hurt, it did. It hurt so bad that his heart physically hurt. All he wanted to do was love her but apparently he sucked at being a lover and had only himself to blame. Everytime he saw her, he itched to touch her. Prayed to hug her but he knew better than to try.She would electrocute his senses away.He had tried before and learnt his lesson. This was not only hard for Dario as Marissa’s hormones went haywire everytime she laid eyes on him. Since she got her powers, Dario has consistently looked like a mouthwatering meal she would love to devour. Everytime his lips moved, she wondered what it could do to her down south. No matter how much she hated him, she c
His Bane Bloodied Hands
His ruffled hair, messy shirt and endless sighing had the whole council so frustrated. “Your Highness”. The head of the council skeptically calls out, knowing that Dario was not hearing anything they were talking about. From the way he sighed, to the distant look in his eyes. Anyone could tell that he was present but also not present at the meeting. He had somehow developed anxiety from knowing that Marissa was going to leave. Deep inside of him, he knew he couldn’t keep her here against her will for long. She was strong now and could get away if she wanted to, he knew that very well. “Let’s hold this meeting at a later date”. Dario orders. Standing up and walking away leaving everyone confused but too scared to alter or ask why. He had been on edge recently, and everyone with eyes could see that he was now hot and cold at the same time. No one could predict his mood so they chose to stay clear. Just yesterday, he ordered some guards to patrol around the border and report any
His Bane Trusting Amelia
Somewhere inside Marissa, she knew that trusting Amelia was not the right thing to do but she also knew that Amelia wanted her gone and would definitely help her escape. “Even if she does something to harm me along the way, I’ll overcome it. I can just fight it off”. She said to the creature that was slowly becoming her closest companion. She couldn’t tell Claire that she was leaving because she didn’t want to see her cry, as her tears may move to her to changing her mind. She would miss Claire so bad and couldn’t even deny that. Not just Claire, but the room, the food, the companionship she didn’t have even if it wasn’t a great one from everyone. Lastly, she would miss Dario. As crazy as that sounded, she knew she would miss him. Today was the day she had to meet Amelia in the garden at noon and she was ready. Marissa had packed lightly and with the help of the creature, she knew what and what to pack for the journey ahead. She knew she was taking a big risk not having any mon

His Bane The Billionaire
Dario had been piecing together the puzzle for weeks. He and his little elite team: James, Marissa, Claire, Trent and his team of informants all were on the search for any influential person with the letters “DU” He knew very well that the person could never be just an ordinary person because the little clues, from how fast they disarm the cameras he set. The position of these cameras was not one to be easily discovered even by supernaturals so he knew that it was definitely a high tech thing. He hated that each time a spy was killed or kidnapped, those two letters seemed to mock him, a coded message hidden in plain sight. It was as if the universe was taunting him, daring him to connect the dots. He had seen the pattern emerge in the aftermath of each incident, but it wasn’t until he stumbled upon the name of a billion-dollar company that the pieces began to align.The company, known as Duran Industries, was a behemoth in the tech world, specializing in cutting-edge surveillance t
His Bane Mr/Mrs DU
Giggling, screaming, laughing and kicking was all that Marissa could do as she was trapped by her mate who was currently the tickle monster. “I love it so much when you laugh”. Dario commented with laughter of his own which was induced by hers. Laying down on too of her with his elbows holding up his weight, he leaned down to kiss her. It started with a little pack on her lips and turned fiery in a seconds. She felt so much in this moment and for the first time, did not hold back, neither did she want to. Dario groaned and moaned so much, you should think they were doing a whole lot more. “I want more”. He groaned deeply as his tone dropped with need. There was not a second when he didn’t crave for his mate but he just had to put it at bay as she was not a werewolf and would not understand that he could not help it. Whenever he was in a situation like this with her, it made it seem like he wanted to burst from all the pent up desires. Her whole body responded as he spoke. Not
His Bane No Escape
“No! No! Please!”. She screamed on top of her lungs, running after them as she watched him get carried in an airplane that she somehow couldn’t stop. All of a sudden, she was back to square one. The weak useless human that could not even defend herself, not to talk if someone else. As if she had not been tested enough, she was immediately grabbed from behind by very strong arms that she could not seem to get out of. It was like being held by iron that was rooted deeply into the earth. She struggled, screamed, cried and fought back but it was all to no avail, as it felt like she was fighting a wall. Not budging, not feeling any pain, not relenting. Whatever the man was, dragged her into a building that she thought was familiar but too much in a panicked to remember. Before she could dwell on that, her blouse was stripped off and a shrill scream tore out of her lips both in shock and horror. Everything was happening at the same time and it felt like hell. The kind that she could
His Bane Suspicion Confirmed
Alpha Dario paced back and forth in the dimly lit confines of his office, the weight of his thoughts heavy on his shoulders. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the walls, mirroring the turmoil in his mind. Marissa, his mate, had always been the light in his life, her compassion and bravery shining like a beacon. Dario couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to that man than met the eye.Even James thought so and yo some point, James was almost like a fortune teller so he had to be very cautious. He also knew that Marissa would never believe him and think he was just being jealous, so he said nothing about his suspicions to her. Suddenly, he started to recall some little details that he thought not much of, like the first night after the rescue, Dario had overheard Marissa speaking to the man, her voice soft and soothing. She had a way of making everyone feel at ease, her kindness a balm for the weary. But Dario couldn’t help but notice the man’s eyes—sharp a
His Bane His Jealousy
Dario paced back and forth in the dimly lit confines of his office, somehow feeling the weight of the world pressing heavily on his shoulders. The scent of pine, earth, and a hint of sandalwood lingered in the air, remnants of the scent of the man Marissa rescued from the forest hung in the air, and he hated that it smelled good, knowing very well that Marissa was one that loved beautiful scents. Marissa finding this man in the woods had further solidified his hate for her training out of camp.She had found this stranger in the woods, a man who had been injured and vulnerable, and had brought him back to their territory. He hated it so much but could not bring himself to tell her because he didn’t want to seem like the monster she always ran away from. Dario's heart raced with a mix of emotions—anger, fear, and an unsettling sense of jealousy.The anger was almost equivalent to the jealousy as he felt like he was stupid for being jealous even though he knew nothing was going on b
His Bane The Injured man
Today was different and she had felt that even before she left home. Something in the air just felt different and she could not put her finger on it, nor deduce whether it was a good change or bad, and so she went to the woods to train as she usually did. It was so serene to her to train amongst nature. She didn’t know what it was but also knew that it was due to her affinity with nature but she felt so at peace when she was here. There was a little stream, surrounded by trees and the sunset view from where she atoood was amazing. As she admired the scene for the upteenth time, she snorted as she remembered that Dario was never a fan of her coming out to train in the woods but also proposed right here. Taking a look at her ring, had her showing her whole 32 teeth. Sometimes, she could not believe that this was her life. Yes, she had gone through a lot to get here but she loved the result so much that she actually may agree to go through that torture if it meant finding, loving
His Bane Clingy Marissa
Marissa woke up early and unlike her usual routine of immediately going to train, she sat on the edge of their shared bed, her heart still racing from the vivid dream that had plagued her nights. The image of her mate, falling to the ground, shot and bleeding, haunted her thoughts. It had been days since the dream, but the fear clung to her like a shadow, refusing to release its grip. She had told him about it, had recounted every detail with trembling lips, and although Dario had reassured her, the anxiety lingered in her chest.She knew very well that he was incredibly strong and fearless, but Marissa couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She needed to be close to him, to feel the warmth of his body next to hers, to remind herself that he was alive and well. So, she found herself following him around the house, her fingers brushing against his arm or resting on his shoulder whenever she could. Each touch was a silent plea for reassurance, a way to ground herself i
His Bane Marissa’s Terror
“No!”. She dreamed on top of her lungs, as she tossed and turned on the bed, wetting it with tears, not realizing that it was not real. The first scream had Dario running to her room with a speed he would only attribute to a vampire but that scream he thought was definitely a call for help. It tore through him, and he could feel her helplessness and it scared him. However, on getting to their room, he saw her sleeping but trashing around and covered in tears. The sight was more than disheartening and so he rushed to her with the aim of waking her up because whatever she was dreaming of, that made gwr so heartbroken, she needed to wake up from it. Shaking her didn’t work abd so ge called out to her, desperately. He was also scared even after finding out it was a dream due to the fact that he knew the witches sometimes hex people in their sleep. “I’m here princess”. He replied to the broken way she called his name and scooped her into his arms abd he could see the visible calming
His Bane The Billionaire’s Mansion
Marissa had always been a dreamer, but tonight was different. As she drifted into slumber, her mind transported her to a world where reality blurred with the fantastical. In this dream, she found herself in a sprawling mansion that gleamed under the moonlight, its opulence a stark contrast to the dark intentions lurking within its walls.The white walls that were supposed to give a bright feeling, have off very eerie feelings but she took some steps further knowing very well that it was a revelation of some sort as her dreams had been far from normal since she became an Oscura. Standing by the fireplace was a fat man of striking features and an air of confidence. She could somehow tell that this building was his and it was massive and screamed of luxury. The knob thing that plagued her mind was why the man was so familiar and where she had seen him. In this dream, he was more than just a wealthy mogul; he was a predator. The way his brows scrunched, and the crazy smile on his lip
