His Bane Tears and Promises
The hiccups and cries of Marissa could be heard all through the hallway even as quiet as she tried to be. For the first time in a very long time, she cried out. Mourning herself and the life she had.‘So, my destiny is to be in captivity all my life?’. She asked herself as the hot tears ran down her cheeks, curling into a ball still on the floor.Her life was so unfair. ‘The one chance I have at love happened to be with a monster. Not just that but with a monster that will keep me locked up forever’. She thought to herself as she cried and cried, crying her heart out.It started from crying about being imprisoned, to crying about the abandonment by her family, to being sold by her aunt, to all the torture she endured all those years. ‘I have never done anything to harm anyone. Nothing! Why this grave fate?’ She asked herself as the tears rolled down nonstop. “Marissa”. Claire called, knocking on the door, but got no answer. Claire panicked knowing fully well that her extremist brot
His Bane Clingy Dario
“Who would’ve thought the big bad Alpha Dario would be this clingy with his mate”. James asks in a playful tone. So excited to make fun of Dario who can’t even deny that he was being clingy.“I can’t focus James. They’ve been out for over an hour now. It’s not funny, what if something happened?”. Dario groans, pacing as he harshly drops the pen and paper in his hands, running a hand through his hair. Claire had convinced Marissa to choose the mall, which she did and immediately they left the gates, Dario had been complaining and pacing non-stop. He started from how Claire was too playful and may forget she’s with Marissa, to how Claire wasn’t a full warrior and could only defend if trouble happens, to how beautiful Marissa was and how thirsty men are. A chuckle escaped James as he shook his head, walking over to Dario and placing a hand on his shoulder squeezing a little. “I’m so glad you finally feel what we feel”. James said with a smile, remembering the time that they had to de
His Bane Arousal
“Marissa, wait”. Dario called out as she immediately ran in, heading for her room with tears fighting to roll down. She was so pissed. “I’m sorry. Please just hear me out”. He calls after her, grabbing her arm as he gets close to her which she yanks off. The exchange, already gathering stares and whispers. Still fuming, she ran into her room, closing the door behind her. She didn’t even understand why she was so angry. It’s not like she already trusted him yet but one part of her desperately wanted him to keep his words, and he didn’t.Dario had followed them for about 30 minutes when Claire caught a whiff of his scent and looked in the direction it came from. . The sudden turn alerted Marissa as it was too fast and obvious that something was up. Tracing Claire’s eyes, Marissa was looking straight at a man with sunglasses and a newspaper blocking his face. However, this man had dark hair, was wearing a shirt that Marissa saw this morning, and the scar running along the man’s
His Bane The Duel
Dario had been observing the whirlwind that was right outside Marissa’s room as the guard had reported, and it was getting bigger but he didn’t have answers yet. At first, he brushed it off as a normal whirlwind even if he hadn’t seen one in the longest time but this one was so consistent in the same spot. “Alpha, you called”. James spoke, entering into Dario’s office in full beta mode. Apparently, Dario had instructed the guard to make sure to inform James that it was an emergency. “Top of the morning to you too James”. Dario replied, standing up to sit at the cushion beside James. He didn’t want anyone to be involved in this. Just he and the only person he trusted with his life. “There is a whirlwind at the back of Marissa’s window. The one facing the backyard, and it has been there for more than a week now. I disregarded it as a normal whirling but it has gotten stronger since Marissa left the room, and I think there’s a connection there”. He spoke in a hushed tone. The new
His Bane Tickle Monster Dario
Claire’s heart thumped so hard in her chest as she watched Marissa fearlessly enter the circle of duel. “She’s one beautiful and brave human, I’ll give her that”. Kali said to Claire who just glared at her, and looked away. Focusing on every move Marissa made. Claire’s plan was to step in once the fight started, but Kali could guess that which was why she came to stand beside her. This annoyed Claire to no end. The fight started with a whistle, and on the sound of the whistle, the warrior Marissa was dueling with, immediately landed a blow to her face that caused her stumble all the way to the line of the circleThe rules of the duel were: No killingThe first one out of the circle is automatically the loser.Whoever yields lost.Her falling to the line of the circle caused some ‘ooos’ and ’aaas’. At this point, it wasn’t just the warriors, and Claire watching, but a crowd had gathered just right outside the training ground to watch. Many rooted for the warrior but some few ro
His Bane Luna
“What bad news?”. Dario asked back through the mindlink as he walks out of the dining room with haste, immediately forgetting his meal.There was only one thing he told James to look into and ‘bad news’ meant that it concerned his mate. “I’m on my way to you”. Dario replied through the mindlink, shifting into his wolf as he steps out of the door. He knew exactly where James was. “What bad news James?”. Dario asked in a tone of urgency as he reached the wooden shack, shifting back to his human form in a split second. His clothes still intact. “I found more of Marissa’s past as I was investigating on the source of the whirlwind. Her aunt is a witch. A very powerful one at that”. James said, showing Dario some papers, one of which showed an image of baby Marissa and the woman in question. One thing Dario recognized from the photo was the woman’s necklace. It was an old relic. One that even the elves possessed several years ago. That necklace could not be worn by just any creature
His Bane The Trap
Dario had finally discovered traces of witchcraft and some elven magic, which had him on his toes as elves were the creatures he detested the most, and knowing that there was a possibility of them still existing annoyed him to no end. From the whirlwind investigation, he had been seeing some strange things like floating objects, unnecessary thunder and lightning, and strange insects around the house. He was now sure that indeed there was either a witch or an elf, hovering around or close to the pack house. “James, you’re in charge for two days. I need to go on a little trip”. Dario states as he walks around, grabbing the things he needed for his ‘little trip’. His plan was to make the creature reveal itself and if there was anyone that could do that, it was him. Before the war, he grew up with elves and witches. Whenever they played hide and seek the elves and witches always loose because they could be summoned with three easy steps, whether they wanted to or not. The only reaso
His Bane The Shoe Drop
“Alpha hunted this for you”. A woman in an apron said to Marissa, holding a large tray of a dead bloody animal. The sight made Marissa squirm. It had been a while since she saw something so gore which made her feel like vomiting and so she ran to her new room, Dario’s room to throw up in the bathroom. However, as soon as she got turned the door knob in attempt to lock the door, she got the shock her life as the door locked itself. Before she could react, a hand was on her throat strangling the life out of her. She couldn’t see anything apart from the persons eyes as black was all the person wore from the head to toes. Marissa struggled and struggled but to no avail. After a short minute of struggling, she started to give up as she had lost all the strength she had. All the fight in her was gone.“This person is not ordinary”. She thought as she could literally feel her strength and everything in her draining.On realization that she was about to die, a tear fell from her eyes, an

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
