“Your highness. With all due respect, we came for just a pint of your mated partner’s blood”. Another man who Dario suspected to be the ruler, or son of the ruler of the vampires as he had a crest tattoo on his shoulders, spoke. “With all due respect, I would advise you leave before I become disrespectful”. Dario said with a growl that indicated that he meant every single word he just said. His first thought was “How dare they be so bold to make such a statement in my presence?”. However, as his anger grew at the thought, he realized that they were actually on edge. It was subtle but he had dealt with people like this long enough to know that they were actually scared shitless, abd we’re just holding themselves together (barely). From the slight bouncing of his legs, to the head of sweat that surfaced on his forehead. He knew. On the other hand, James had already unsheathed his sword, ready to fight as he himself was angry as it was an insult to him also. “Put it down”. Dario sa
“What?!”. Dario abd James exclaimed in disbelief but also because deep down he knew it was true. Every wolf with a mate feels heat during the full moon and is the time where most she wolves get pregnant due to their hormones readying itself for conceiving in this period. It was also a time when wolves were most sensitive and at their strongest. Even the weakest wolf was strong enough to defeat a warrior on a normal day. It was a normal thing that happened to wolves but he was just so shocked as he never attributed that trait to himself. Before, he was like a god with no weaknesses and no reactions to normal things that usual wolves had, but since Marissa came, he had been more of a wolf than he had ever been. The thought excited him as much as he dreaded it. He had been fighting the urge to mate with Marissa as he had not done right by her, by marrying her and almost always lost as it was not just the mate bond pushing him. He, on his own, also wanted to know exactly what her m
As he yelled out, James came running in, startled that something had happened but immediately he ran to touch his best friend on the arm from where he bent, on one knee, what happened next almost had his heart out of his chest from fear. “Don’t touch my mate”. Marissa’s voice echoes out. Literal echoes, like it was more than 3 people talking. Startled by the voice, James turned to look at her and was even more startled. Her eyes had turned white, and were as bright as a torch. James fell on his ass from the shock and fear, raising his hands in surrender because she sounded very angry that he touched her mate. Dario was just dumbfounded. His own pain, long forgotten as worry took over instead. He had made both Trent and James do research on Oscuras, and although they had been delivering information, they had not stated that her eyes would change colors. The research only made janes more afraid of Marissa day by day. Turning away from James, she walked over to her mate who had d
He had seen her fightHe had seen what she could do, but had never been on the receiving end, abd it was honestly brutal. He was both proud and in pain. Dario was a finished man and accepted that he indeed was a finished man. There was nothing that she could do to make him feel bad about her. He was currently getting his ass handed out to him but was still proud of how strong she was, abd was just thinking how horrible it would have been if he chose to stay away because he didn’t want a weakness. The next attack had him gasping for air as he dodged, but the strong force of wind the attack carried still hit him. “She’s more than strong”. He says to Dexter who was howling in pain at the fact that his mate was attacking him. The almighty Dexter was crying and howling because his mate attacked him. Dario couldn’t pretend that he also was not hurt because he was and only because he knew that she must be scared and confused about not being able to stop the damage she was causing. H
“Trent. Do not test me”. Dario warmed in a low voice that followed a growl, as he drags himself into a standing position. Only then, did Marissa see just how much damage she had done. There was blood running from his head and some drying on his lips. There was also a big gash on the left side of his ribs from the amount of times she flung him on trees.The realization gutted her as she remembered that every time he fought and sustained a wound, it healed before one could even blink but it had been minutes. Half of his whole body including his face was burnt and the sight destroyed her. She had hurt him so bad that he wasn’t healing as usual.“I’m a m m-monster”. She stuttered looking at her shaky hands as she spoke.She suddenly became lightheaded and lost the strength in her legs, falling to her knees in tears. It was more than in shock, pain and disbelief. The worst out of it all was that she knew deep down that she loved doing it and only regretted when she hurt him this bad.
“A few more minutes please”. Marissa groaned as Melanie, the maid that was currently assigned to her, woke her up for her training. At the last meeting where Dario almost took the head off an elder, it was agreed that Marissa would be assigned to train every day in order to have better control of the Oscura. The meeting: The Elders, Dario, His Beta and Gamma, and Marissa were present. “Alpha, my intention is not to anger you but your mate is a great danger to our people”. One elder spoke first with his eyes cast on the table in front of them as he couldn’t grin himself to face him and say it “Your point is?” Dario asks, knowing very well what he wanted to say but was hearing around the bush. “We do not want her here, your highness”. The head of the elders council spoke up. “And who gave you the right to decide who stays in the pack and who doesn’t?. You are my advisers, yes but you should know where to draw the line. That line, is my mate. If you wish to speak about her, you wil
Every step she took felt like a step on nails. Everyone watched every single step she took, every single movement of hers with fear. It was not just fear, it was also annoyance. It was like she could hear them say “what is she still doing here? Is it until she kills our alpha and destroys the whole pack? She hates the feeling of walking on ice every time. She hated that she could not even blame them because they were not wrong at allShe hated that she had to fight so hard for everythingShe hated that it felt like ’ease’ was a foreign word when it came to her. Today was the first time she was to get a taste if something close to a physical training and she was excited earlier but now, her mood had been dampened. However, she would not let that stop her. Her fight was against herself and it was also for everyone. She was danger personified. As soon as they stepped into the training ground, everyone cleared out of the way. Not because of respect but out of fear and hatred. No
“It affects her and you just thought to tell me now?!!!”. Dario thundered out to both James and Trent, after finding out that his mate was also affected by the full moon and the heat, hence the reason she was being extra possessive. Here he was, thinking that she was all murderous due to what he had been reading. He had seen the confusion and anxiety on her all the time since she started transforming, and it hurt him not to have any answers for her. He could see just how much she wanted to not hurt anyone or be hated for what she was. This information just made him realize that she had just been a normal mate during the period of a full moon. She was only knew to it and did not know how to navigate such feelings. Grabbing his jacket from the chair, he stormed out to go to her. “You’re unusually quiet Luna, is there a problem? Melanie asks Marissa who truly had not said a word since they came out to enjoy the breeze. Something she always loved doing as she still saw it as a pr
