“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”.

  • 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 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   Marissa's Escape

    “She probably just went out for a walk. Please calm down”. James said to pacify Dario who was panting and walking in circles, trying to be patient and not jump to conclusions but his heart could not help it. “It’s been hours James. Don’t tell me that”. Dario said to James in a dangerously low tone that had James shutting his mouth with his hands in the air in surrender. Deep inside of him he knew that something was up because he kept thinking about that hug. She let him hug her for longer than she should and as great as it was, it felt like a goodbye. Running like an arrow through the wind, Dario got to the garden to check on the vines. Those vines would be the make or break moment because he knew that if they were not present at the locations he placed them, that meant Marissa had kept her promise to leave him. The thought already making his heart beat erratically. His first location were the greenery behind the window of her room. He got there and saw the vines he placed there

  • His Bane   Satisfaction

    They say revenge does not bring forth satisfaction but the satisfaction that Dario currently felt could not be quantified. Yes, he was upset about having to kill Vraise and the vampire throwing away his life for a useless human, but he was very satisfied with knowing that his family was safer now that the billionaire was no more.As the head rolled down to the ground right by his feet, he smiled and at first wanted to carry it back as a trophy but soon decided that it was not worthy of being called a trophy.He turned, and as expected, there were still some foolish humans, although scared to their bones, still brave enough to stare and shiver in his presence. He passed through them as he walked back to the pack.The only lingering thought and question he had was for what reason Vraise could possibly have to protect the man so much that he killed himself while doing it. He knew very well that the man must have had something very great against the vampire, and he was curious to know

  • His Bane   Killing the Billionaire

    “P-Please, I can make it right!” DU pleaded, his voice a mix of fear and desperation. “I can give you anything you want!” He uttered with a shaky voice as fear gripped him, causing goosebumps from his head, down to his toes. He knew that Dario was scary and had been given full description in what his wolf looks like, but seeing a giant black wolf in person with golden eyes was different. Dario’s eyes narrowed, his expression angry and unyielding. “You think your money can save you? You’ve destroyed lives for your greed. There is no redemption for you. With a swift motion, Dario almost sank his claws into the billionaire but was blocked by Vraise once again: An action that he did not take lightly, he didn't speak a word extra and just attacked brutally. This was the day that Vraise got the shock of his life .The billionaire on the other hand, fell to his knees in slight relief from the fear but still could not move from his spot as it somehow felt like his legs were glued to that

  • His Bane   The Monster in Him

    The three day promise was not a farce and despite the fact that he had to be with his mate who needed him more than anything in this moment, he was simultaneously planning his revenge and this time, without the other supernaturals. On the day she screamed, she was in danger of being found by the other supernaturals, and due to that,he made sure that they all leave the pack house that same day. As he stood at the edge of the garden, overlooking the whole of the pack from where he stood. He had always protected them flawlessly but now, there were so many flaws in his way of protection recently. He was done and ready to go kill that billionaire actually do it this time, he had enough of the rubbish.Today, he was not strategizing or wasting his time with any plans and procedures, he was just going tobarge in and kill whoever stops him. He had enough of being considerate of the innocent lives invloved. He was actually never one to care about how he achieved something, just the end res

  • His Bane   Her Pain

    Her screams shook the whole pack to its core. Every single soul in the pack could not pretend to have not heard a scream that loud. It sounded like one of pain and also a call for help. It’s been wreks now that Marissa had felt the pull of something sinister, a dark urge that whispered in her ear, urging her to embrace the violence that simmered just beneath the surface. It was an insatiable hunger, a desire that clawed at her insides, demanding release.Dario immediately dropped and forgot everything. The only urge currently present was to get to his mate but on rushing to her, he just could not get past an invincible and it frustrated him to no end. “Let me in princess”. He called out and it did not sound like he was pleading. He demanded. However, it seemed like she was in her worn Luther bubble, unable to feel or hear anyone including her mate. Writhing in pain and fear, Marissa screamed again when another wave of pain hit her like a tornado. “Please”“Please”. She chanted l

  • His Bane   Dario and Vraise

    Just as he was about to send the billionaire to his ancestors, a hand that definitely belonged to Vraise, stopped him halfway. He growled out in anger as he was so close. Previously, he could not help but wonder why exactly the vampire was protecting the billionaire, because Vraise was not one to be involved in matters. Any matters at all, even that of his clan not to talk of the personal matters of a human but in this moment, he did not care. If he did not kill the billionaire today, he would not be able to live with himself. “A common human tormenting my pack because he has some money that I am above”“Move or I will not consider the fact that we have been somewhat friends over the years”. Dario warned as he still felt some sort of friendship between them and chose to give him one last chance. However, what he got in response was an attack from vraise. A sharp clawing and pushing that had him falling several feet away. “That will be the last time you touch me”. He growled as

  • His Bane   His Anger

    “Go! Go! Go!”. Dario yelled at the people as they lived into the safe house they had built in the little time that they had been planning. The little underground room was not even finished but could at least hold all of them if they squeezed in, which was not a choice they had. As soon as he saw that the people had almost gone in, he left the rest to Claire who had been directing them. It was in times like this that he was so grateful that he had his sister and the little support group he had. His mind all the while had been on his mate whom was currently unstable but still using whatever strength she had left to hold the bombs and the billionaire off. It angered him to no extent and this time, he let his anger roam freely. He had enough.In his opinion, his mate had been bullied enough and right in front of him again, drove him insane. The idiot had the audacity to come attack his pack and try to steal his mate and thinks he would be able to get away with it. “Today, I’ll let

  • His Bane   Another bomb attack.

    The little whispers from the office almost sounded like the whispers of the wind and Claire could not help but be a little spooked as the room was filled with a mix of werewolves, vampires, and witches, each bringing their unique strengths to the table. Dario leaned over the large oak desk, tracing the lines of a map with his finger. “We need to fortify our borders and increase patrols, so that they can keep watch while we fight. The billionaire is not to be underestimated”. He said, his voice steady but urgent. “If they’re planning an attack, we can’t let them catch us off guard.” The King of bears added. Just as they began to outline their strategy, a loud explosion shook the building, rattling the windows and sending papers flying into the air. The sound was deafening, and for a moment, everyone froze, eyes wide with shock. Dario's heart raced as he instinctively rea he’d through his mind to see if Marissa was fine. “What the hell was that?” one of the vampires, Elias, exclaime

  • His Bane   Attracted to Every Version of Her

    “Oh God Marissa!”. Claire exclaimed as she saw that there was indeed blood on the window. A lot of it. James on the other hand looked like he was about to pass out and began questioning why he actually accepted to look after her. The fear he had for her had not subsided and now, seeing this made it double. “You killed a bird?” Dario asks, already knowing that it was indeed a bird from the smell it emitted, and she nodded yes. I’m this moment she looked so guilty that he felt so bad for her. She hated those birds that chirped around her window at first but had come to actually look forward to them chirping her awake each morning. “I- I tried not to”. She stammers as she tried the explain her reason for killing it, looking confused and disoriented. “But I craved the blood, I just wanted to feel it’s hot blood run through my fingers.” She said and in that moment, her eyes began to turn red again with a sinister smile playing on her lips. He immediately started to struggle to bre

    “It’s high time we decided on a date for the attack. I also have a feeling that you all are hiding something from me and postponing the attack due to that. Now, it’s either you tell me what it is, or I find out myself and ut will not be funny if I do so myself”. He warned as he turned to step out of the room. “Alpha Dario, please wait”. The king of the bears started which stopped Dario in his tracks. “Lycan alpha. We apologize but since we sent scouts to locate his whereabouts since he was not at his mansion, they have not come back.” The leader of the witch clan stated with a winced expression on her face. She expected him to flip out and trash things or even attack them in anger but he did none of that. He already knew to not have expectations when working with them because they all had a way to piss him off beyond bounds. “This is exactly why I work solo.” He said the them as he walked out. He was annoyed, no doubt. Very angry, if he was being honest because they were the re
