Damien:
I watched as my wife said her goodbye before she approached me. Her emerald green eyes meeting my blue ones. I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her to me, knowing that people were still looking at us. The woman was doing her best to act normal despite being forced into this just as I was.
“Smile, little wolf, people are still watching” I whispered before hugging her and kissing her forehead. She put her hand on my chest, right over my beating heart, and I smiled. People took us pictures and the two of us made sure to make our pictures look as presentable as possible. We both knew that our wedding would be spoken of everywhere, being who I was, the two of us knew that we had to hold our proper image.
“Thank you for the unneeded reminder” she said pushing me away. I kept my arm wrapped around her as we both walked toward the limo. Her mum was headed to the airport as to head back to London. I had tried getting the woman to stay back beside her daughter knowing that she would be staying alone there, but it seemed like the woman had her own plans, and whatever they were; she didn’t bother sharing them with me. But I wasn’t blind as not to see that her and her daughter didn’t have the best of relationships.
“Natalia, are you sure it’s a good idea that your mother leaves alone? She would be staying alone there…”
“It’s her desire, you know that, Damien. Thank you for the offer though” she said before the two of us turned to leave. I looked at her mother one last time before opening the car’s door for her. She got inside the car and I got inside after her, the two of us waving at the guests as the driver took off. The man kept his eyes on the road and I knew for fact that he was waiting to listen to something as to give mom as information; it was why she had hired him to drive us to begin with. However, mother didn’t know that I had my car parked upfront at the hotel, waiting for my and my wife’s arrival as to dismiss her little spy.
The two of us went quiet for most of the drive, and I smirked putting my hand on hers, running my finger over her palm making her tense “we just eloped, malyshka, I believe that you should brighten up. We’ll be mating soon…”
“Don’t you think that us mating when we barely know one another would be wrong?” She asked as she looked at the driver. I closed the window between us, not letting him hear what we were talking about, giving my ‘wife’ and I our privacy. I looked at her and she looked down on her lap avoiding my eyes.
I put my finger under her chin, leaning closer to her, wanting to feel her lips against my own. Our kiss on the wedding was a mere peck, but the spark that I felt was one like no other; I couldn’t help but feel whole when it happened. I could tell that she was resisting the attraction, her mind was fixed on the fact that she couldn’t find a mate; she didn’t want to give anyone the chance to actually be with her.
“You need to relax, malyshka, you tensing the way you are wouldn’t change anything. You’re already my wife” I whispered against her lips. My lips brushed hers, our breaths mixing before she pulled away. I smirked as her heart raced against her ribcage before she sat back, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Keep resisting, little wolf. You’ll be claimed as my own eventually”
“You need to understand one thing, Damien” she said glaring at me. I raised an eyebrow at her, waiting for her to proceed as her heart raced against her ribcage as she took a deep breath to calm herself “if you’re expecting me to submit to you, then you’ll need to think again”
“And you’ll need to understand something, little wolf” I said raising an eyebrow at her “if I’m being lenient with you as not to claim you in this car right now; then it’s because I want you to be comfortable. But don’t test your luck with me, I’m an Alpha, and you know what that means”
*********************
The two of us entered the hotel’s room.
Our parents have arranged for us to be alone. It was for us to complete the mating, but they didn’t understand that I couldn’t claim the woman when she couldn’t handle it. It was something that we both needed to be prepared for, and I would want her to want it just as much as I did.
I looked at the view and couldn’t help but smile at the sight of it. The room was looking over the whole city, and I couldn’t help but feel excited to see the city view at night. The hotel was one of the businesses we owned, but seeing as mom arranged it for the two of us. I saw Natalia looking out the window as well, the view catching her breath.
“I’ll leave you to change, if you need anything just let me know” I said softly. She jumped at the sound of my voice before turning to face me, looking down at her feet, avoiding my eyes and I sighed “don’t worry, Natalia, I won’t do anything that you’re not comfortable with. I don’t take a woman against her will, go and get ready, the two of us will go and have dinner; I’m guessing that you’re hungry”
“Thank you” she whispered, her heart racing against her ribcage as she looked around the room, clearly noticing that there was one bed in the suit.
I nodded not saying a word as I watched her taking her bag to the bathroom with her, locking the door after her and I sighed sitting on the edge of the bed. The urge to claim her was high, the way she avoided my eyes, her shy figure, her eyes looking into my own, and knowing that she was a virgin, I should thank her mother for that little detail, made my wolf growl protectively as I knew that she was mine to claim and mine alone.
She opened the bathroom’s door and I frowned in confusion when I saw that she was still in her wedding dress “can you please help me with the zipper? I couldn’t get it off”
I nodded and vampire sped behind her making her gasp, her body tensing as my finger brushed her back. I pulled her to me gently, my breath hitting her shoulder as I leaned closer to her. I could hear her heart racing against her ribcage and I had to fight back turning her around to claim her as my own.
“There you go” I whispered letting her go once the zipper was opened.
“Thank you” she said turning the face me before heading to the bathroom. She held on her dress as for it not to fall, and I was thankful for that; had it fell, I wouldn’t have been able to control myself.
“You’re welcome, little wolf” I said once she closed the door “you’re welcome”
Natalia:“Where are we going again?” I asked Damien who was driving. I didn’t even know when he brought his car considering the fact that his driver was the one who dropped us off here.“One of our restaurants. It has been closed for the evening for the two of us, and I figured we could have a ‘romantic’ dinner on our first wedding night” Damien said casually.“So, the big mafia Leonov Pakhan is closing a restaurant for a romantic date with a wife he didn’t want?” I asked raising an eyebrow at the man. Damien sighed and parked the car in front of the restaurant, looking me in the eye.“You do know that being Pakhan doesn’t make me a barbarian, Natalia” Damien answered getting out of the car. He vampire sped toward my side of the door, opening it for me “come on, little wolf”“Stop calling me that” I snapped at him.“I’ll call you
Damien:“I hope you’re not doing anything to mess your night up” mom said through the phone. Natalia went to the bathroom and I sighed when mom called me for the fifth time tonight. It was hard enough controlling myself around the girl, but it seemed like my beloved mother didn’t seem to want to understand that I wasn’t a barbarian on the loose.“I am not a child for you to check on every few hours, mother. But if it would assure you, I haven’t killed the woman” I snapped through the phone. I could hear mom growl through the phone, but I didn’t bother responding to it “Now, I need to hang up before she gets out of the bathroom”I hung up and put my phone in my pocket just as Natalia got out of the bathroom, smiling as she looked at me. I nodded smiling at her. The woman didn’t understand it yet, but she has been the one person who has made me feel content in years, and I am a person who has
Natalia:I frowned in confusion when I opened my eyes to find that I was sleeping on the bed.“Good morning, little wolf” Damien’s voice broke my trail of thoughts. His back was to me as he took a sip of what I could sniff out as whiskey.“Isn’t it too early to be drinking?” I asked.“I don’t know, is it?” He asked sarcastically. He got up from the couch and turned to face me, his eyes hard unlike they were last night. However, I couldn’t blame him, the argument we had before I slept gave me a hard time getting some shut eye. I removed the blanket from over my body, and glared at him.“Need I ask why I was asleep on the bed?” I knew that my question took the man off guard as he seemed to frown in confusion that I was angry about that. But he didn’t seem to understand that it was HIS bed, and I didn’t nee him acting like a gentleman.“Oh, I’m sorry
Damien:“Do you think it’s too much?” Natalia asked turning around, showing me the blue dress, she wore. She already fixed her makeup, and curled her hair, and was now wearing the dress. The sleeveless dress hugged her body perfectly from the top before loosening under her waist. The slit on the dress reached her mid thigh making it more comfortable for her to walk.“Not at all, malyshka” I said smiling. I was already wearing my suit’s shirt, and pants, my jacket and tie were left on the couch as I fixed my sleeves.“Can I ask a question?” She asked avoiding my eyes, her cheeks reddening.“You know that you don’t need to ask the same question whenever you have one, right?” I teased. Natalia smiled, shaking her head at me “tell me, sweetie?”“What does malyshka mean?” She asked shyly “you kept calling me that, but I don’t really know what it means&r
Natalia:I looked at Damien as he walked out of the veranda. The man’s eyes were filled with rage, not to mention his racing heartbeat which I could hear due to my sensitive hearing.Damien wrapped his arm around my shoulder the second he reached me, his eyes not meeting mine; though I could hear his racing heart.“Alpha” Sebastian, his beta said looking at him. His brown eyes met my husband’s blue ones, clearly waiting for him to give him whatever other order he wanted to give. Damien, despite having his arm wrapped around me, clenched and unclenched his fist as an attempt to calm himself down.“I want you to check the whole building for the bastard. I don’t want him in the perimeter, and if you do spot him; throw him out, or kill him. Both options work fine for me” Damien said angrily. Sebastian nodded not saying another word as Damien pulled me from where I was standing, walking around the gala as he scanned th
Damien:“What is this place?” Natalia asked looking around the outdoor restaurant I took her to. Her eyes were wide when she saw the table the waiter guided us toward, and having left her jacket at the gala, it was my fault for liking her scent on mine and refusing to go back and getting hers, she was wearing my jacket.I pulled out her chair and watched as she took a seat, smiling at her calm heartbeat before kissing the crown of her head. She let out a breathy laugh as I did, and I walked toward my chair, sitting in front of her. The dim lights around us made the scene a whole lot more romantic than it already was. Flowers were placed on every table as well as candles, the floor was also covered with petals which swarmed around us with the wind giving it a magical aroma.“This, my beauty, is one of the best romantic spots here at New York. I figured since I ruined the night at the gala, might as well make use of it since the night is still yo
Natalia:“Are you sure you’re okay with this, Natalia?” Damien asked cupping my cheeks, making me look at him.“I want to officially meet the family, Damien. Plus, it’s been two weeks since we both got married; I believe that we’ve had enough of a ‘honeymoon’ as it is” I teased. Damien got a call from his mum last night asking him to come home, whatever the reason was; Damien hasn’t discussed it with me, and in all honesty; I didn’t even ask. As for meeting the family, I have barely seen Isabella when they had proposed to me, and my one conversation with Lyov was him asking me whether I was sure about this wedding or not. Sebastian and I spoke at the wedding, and other than that; I was somewhat isolated from everyone, merely seeing them with mum, and making sure that I was on my best behavior as not to ruin the chances of the wedding.Damien nodded, letting me go to close the last bag before wrapp
Damien:“Natalia, you will need…”“I am not like the other women in your Estate, Liz. I must thank you for your offer, but I know that Damien would not go ahead looking at other women. Had he wanted it, he wouldn’t have married me to begin with” I heard Natalia stopping Liz. I smiled as I listened to what she said before knocking the door twice, breaking their conversation. Whatever it was they were talking about, I didn’t like it, and it seemed to annoy Natalia too.Natalia opened the door for me, smiling as I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her to my chest “I suggest that you don’t fill my beauty’s head with mom’s nonsense, Liz. You of all people should know that mom did try bringing in other women, and they were all sent back just as they came”“Alpha…”“My love and respect for you are endless, Liz; however, as a friend, I suggest that you
Damien:I glared at Rosalyn who just threw a knife toward my wife. Her eyes were fixed on her as if a wolf glaring at its prey. However, I could care less about whatever nonsense she had in mind. The woman was threatening my wife, and I was NOT going to let that pass without a price to pay.Her wolf growled as she glared at Natalia. Everything around her seemed to have disappeared as she kept her eyes on my wife. She didn’t dare take a step forward knowing that she would easily be killed if she dared try. Natalia’s canines were exposed as she grew protective over our son, her wolf’s instinct taking over, and I had to fight every urge I had as not to go and detach the woman’s head from her body.“You have some nerve coming here, mother” Natalia said hugging our baby, protecting him. The hardest thing for a she-wolf was to be challenged by her child, and now Rosalyn was playing with fire challenging a new mother; I knew that for
Natalia:My eyes snapped open as pain hit every muscle in my body.The clench in my stomach has been stirring since before I went to bed, but now; it only seemed to worsen, spreading across my whole body.Sensing my pain, Damien woke up and wrapped his arm around me, taking my hand in his.“Baby?”“Bloody hell…” tears fell from my eyes as I felt my insides getting torn. The smell of blood filled my nostrils and Damien’s eyes widened when he took sight of the blanket to find that it was already filled with blood, my blood.He bit his wrist and placed it in front of my mouth “Nat, baby, you need to drink this. I know it hurts, and I’ll get you the pack’s doctor. But you’re losing blood”Forcing me to drink his blood, Damien kept his eyes on me until he saw that I got an enough amount before pulling his wrist from my mouth. He kissed my temple and grabbed his phone from t
Damien:“What is wrong, Rosalyn?” I asked answering the phone. It was very rare for Rosalyn to call when it wasn’t on season or a grand opening of one of the clubs. Therefore, seeing as she did; I knew that something was terribly wrong.“Boss, the clubs are being ambushed” she said worriedly. I could hear screaming and running around her. Men gave instructions to get out of the building before anyone got hurt, and others were calling to ask for help from an ambulance or the police.“What?” I asked standing up from the couch. Sebastian frowned in confusion, and I nodded at him to follow me.“They’re killing off the security teams, and the clubs are being burnt down to the ground, some are just being attacked on random. I didn’t know whether or not you wanted me to call the cops…”“I’m on my way Rosalyn, get the girls out of there and make sure that none of the costu
Damien:I smiled when I woke up to find Natalia laying peacefully in my arms. Her hair was sprawled on my bicep as she hugged the blanket tightly to ensure that she stayed warm. Though she was a wolf and her temperature was higher than that of wolves, her being pregnant might have changed more than a few things about her.She woke up a few times breathing heavily, and it was due to our baby growing inside her. Her heart would race as if she’s been running for miles making her grow exhausted.The vampire blood in our baby’s system was draining her as the baby fed off her blood. I had to resolve into having her drink my blood more than a few times per day as not to risk losing her at any given moment.I raised myself to look at her, smiling at the sight of her relaxed features. I softly leaned down to kiss her temple, letting my lips linger there for more than a few seconds before pulling away to whisper in her ear “I love you, my sweet ma
Natalia:I laid on the couch with my head on Liz’s lap as she ran her fingers through my hair.Knowing what my husband was out doing not only killed me inside, but scared me too.Scared me because I didn’t know how mum’s reaction was going to be. She was a mother who has been deprived from her son only to be reunited with him just recently. Her losing him was not only going to set her aloft, but was going to drive her mad.I won’t even mention Killian who would come announcing war against Damien, and judging by the way he’s been doing things lately; the man would have nothing to lose this time.Rumors have had it that he and mum weren’t on any terms, he didn’t care about her and she didn’t dare approach him. If he had let her in the pack; it was for their son who wanted to be around his mother after this many years of being forced away from her. Their relationship remained unspoken of, and her sister
Damien:I looked at the bathroom’s door for a few seconds, debating on whether or not to follow Natalia before deciding to do so. I didn’t want her to handle her pain alone; it was something that we were both against. The two of us had a silent agreement as not to let one another deal with our pain alone, and knowing that I was the cause of it; I didn’t want her to be alone.I knew that she didn’t understand how hard it was knowing that I would end up hurting her too, but she needed to know that they’ve drained all their chances with me so far. Killian has been playing with fire for a while now, and it was time for me to put that fire off, and I did try all other methods, this wasn’t a resolve that I wanted to take for Natalia’s sake.I wrapped my arms around Natalia who was standing by the sink, staring at her reflection. She didn’t lean into my touch, however, seeing as she didn’t pull away, I rested my chi
Natalia:I woke up to my stomach churning.I forced myself to run out of bed and head to the bathroom only to empty it.I felt my hair being raised in a ponytail as Damien massaged my shoulders ever so gently.“I think that we need to call the pack doctor, baby girl” Damien said gently “I already told you that something wasn’t normal in your. Your eyes show that you’re tired and not to mention that your heart races as if you’ve been running for miles when you’re sitting on the couch or laying in bed”I flushed the toilet, clearing out my vomit to get up from the ground and wash my mouth. Damien sighed when I didn’t reply to him and walked toward me, wrapping his arms around my waist from the back, pulling me to his chest “she’ll be coming here to check on you, you won’t need to go to the hospital”I brushed my teeth before laying my head on his chest, leaning in to
Damien:“You were right, Alpha” Sebastian said as the two of us walked around the Estate. Most of the pack members were either on a round of search or out at school. The only ones inside were the girls who also tended to their duties and responsibilities. Some of them were here training too.Having just found a ‘spy’ trying to roam around the pack grounds. The lad was a member of Killian’s pack, and by was, I mean that when he was alive at least. His corpse has been sent to his Alpha as to teach him a fine lesson, and I’m pretty sure that things won’t be ending too well for him this time.“You and I both knew that the man planned war when he tried killing Nat. Now, he’s gaining strength, or at least he’s trying to. Knowing that Ace is on our side isn’t the something that he wanted to think of dealing with, but seeing as he’s forced to right now; the man won’t be too thrilled” I s
Natalia:I whimpered over my husband as I came undone. His name coming out as a shriek knowing that he loved letting everyone know who was the one satisfying me.My arm was wrapped securely around his neck as I tried supporting myself while he sat under me, wrapping his own around my waist, holding my close whispering “I’ve got you”His body shuddered as he reached his own climax. The two of us breathed heavily as we caught our breaths. I rested my forehead on his shoulder for a few seconds and felt him run his finger over my lower back, softly massaging it.“How do you feel, malyshka?” he asked. It has been a while since the two of us have been intimate, and I had to admit; I missed it more than anything. The love that I had for him was endless, and seeing as everyone has noticed that both of us weren’t okay being away from one another told me that I was being stupid for not giving it a chance and a break. I pulled my
