“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
The crease on his forehead, hushed howls of the wind, and the quiet whispers of the pack were all indication that everyone could feel his anger, and were walking on egg shells afraid of being on the receiving end of it.His emotions always somehow had something to do with the weather.“I think you should calm down a bit. The walls are vibrating, and your anger is affecting us all”. James groaned, walking into his best friend’s office. Alpha Dario’s emotions affected everyone in the 25 packs. If he was angry, happy, or sad, everyone in the 25 realms could feel it through the mind link. So, he had mastered the art of sealing his emotions, and had been doing a very good job at it, until now when he got information that there was an auctioning of beings going on, and that the auctioning had never stopped despite the ban, oath and sacrifices he made to stop it. “Calm down? My alphas are going against everything I stand for by disobeying me and organizing these auctions. I’ve sacrificed
As they walked out, there were cars lined up waiting for them. “Alpha”. They all greeted and bowed immediately they set their eyes on Dario who just grunted a response. His attention was nowhere else but on the female in his arms. He shook his head like it would help him concentrate as he could see the mouth of his alphas moving but was hearing nothing. All he was thinking of, was how well the little human female fit into his hands, how much he was enjoying being close to her, how soft her skin was under his fingers and had to mentally slap himself, because he couldn’t understand why he was acting like a teenager who had never seen a woman before. His heart was beating fast, he was super aware of every breath she took, and the sparks. It felt like jolts of pleasure washing through him. ‘This is crazy’‘I should kill her before she becomes my weakness’“… and followed Alphas scent here”. The red-head Alpha Sina finished. All eyes focused on him as they were waiting for his respon
Dario did not think that he could ever get scared or feel panicked by anything but that scream she just let out, had him searching for the source of it in slight panic, only to follow the trail of her eyes and see that Amelia just shifted from human to wolf, intentionally scaring her.Once Amelia’s eyes met his angry ones, she bolted out the door. He had always known that she had been interested in him but never acknowledged it as he’s a man who keeps to himself and has accepted that he’d die alone since his mate was nowhere to be found. It was obvious that Amelia was jealous at the attention he was giving the human female and intentionally shifted in front of her. Her aim was to scare the female away but over Dario’s dead body would he let her slip away from him. At least not until he confirms whether or not she was his mate.He turned back to human female who looked like she’ll pass out any second, and moved closer in an attempt to carry her like he’d been doing before she scream
Marissa tossed and turned, her usual nightmare haunting her again as she fought to escape it.The nightmares came every time she closes her eyes to sleep. These nightmares range from the day she cried her eyes out after realizing she’d been sold, the beatings, to the assault, to the torture and now, to the werewolves. This time, was running through the woods, a werewolf hot on her tail as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Exhaustion was already creeping in but she couldn’t stop.Unfortunately for her, she tripped on a stone and fell. She didn’t get a second to recover when the wolf was already pouncing on her. She screamed, her heart in her mouth as she waited, accepting her fate.The werewolf towered over her, it’s eyes golden and glowing, it was beautiful but right now, it wanted to eat her. The wolf opened its mouth, and she closed her eyes waiting to the pain but none came. However, she felt tongue and wetness on her face. The wolf had just licked her face. She
Dario audibly gasped on hearing those words. It struck him so hard that he had to rethink whether or not he was truly the apex alpha that he was, as a sharp pain cut through his chest, an immediate headache and the sparks he usually felt when she was close, were like an electric shock. His gasp and and were foreign to his own ears as he himself couldn’t remember the last time he gasped or winced out loud.‘These are just mere words. She didn’t even fully reject me and I already feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest’. He thought to himself as he winced again, feeling searing pain in his chest, like the air was knocked out of his lungs. His mind wandered thinking of how vulnerable he already was, and he didn’t like it one bit.Vulnerability was one of the reasons why he didn’t keep anyone by his side. As long as he’d lived, he had no weaknesses, nothing that the enemy could prey on, and that was one of the main things that made him feared by many. He had nothing to loose.
A sigh escaped Dario’s lips as he crouched down with his elbows touching his knees, and one hand running through his hair.He pondered on that emotion he felt yesterday ‘fear’.His heart had almost stopped from running too fast and panicking. He knew he could stop the arrow but still panicked and due to that, it came too close to Marissa which caused her to faint. Dario had never made such a silky mistake in all the time he had been existing and he felt so guilty that his silliness almost cost his mate her life, as capable as he was. “Your sigh could be heard from a mile away Aro”. Claire, Dario’s younger sister stated as she walked in closing the door behind her. “I know you’re beating yourself up again like you always do when anything goes slightly wrong. She’s fine!”. Claire said with a sigh of her own, emphasizing on the last words. She knew for sure that her brother would beat himself up for days, if not months because he was a perfectionist that thinks he can stop anything a
“You shouldn’t have done that!. How is she supposed to warm up to you when you’re like this Aro?!”. Claire yells as walks fast behind a fuming Dario, trying to keep his fast pace. “You can’t treat her like one of your subjects. She’s your mate!”. Claire continues to yell as she follows her brother.He doesn’t reply and keeps walking at the same pace, trying to calm his anger but he was quite overwhelmed. He was angry, his wolf was scratching and doing everything to come out as he did not agree with what Dario did to their mate, and Claire was screaming at him. He felt frustrated.Still silent, he walked into his office, Claire hot on his tail but as soon as she touched the door handle to walk in, Dario yelled at her. “Get out of here Claire!”. The booming voice carrying a sound wave that threw Claire 3 feet in the air across the passage way.A loud crack resounded, and only then did he realize that fucked up.Regret immediately settled in Dario as he realized what he had just don
