The next day, my mind was elsewhere, I did not prefer his presence. If he could try to mend bonds now his girlfriend was gone then he was wrong.I am married now. He couldn’t show any right toward MY child anymore, not after abandoning me nor I would allow it. “What does he think of himself? Does he think showing care would melt my heart?” I was fuming inside my room, pacing around in rage. Discard my feelings for him, I won’t melt or be swayed in his trap.“Damn him, I would never forgive him for breaking my heart,” I hissed.Holding my sides a tear pricked in my eyes because all that remained on my heart was a question.…Why?“Why did you do this?” And once again all my thoughts stopped at this point. The question of ‘why’, why my life was stuck here, why did I face this anguish?This ‘why’ would kill me one day.I was surrounded in my trails of unwanted thoughts until Mama called. “Eliana! Come here and see,”“What is it, Mama?” Sighing, I went out to check what she wanted to
Back to when our bond just started, my tennis competition came again. I was afraid to disappoint my parents again.I didn’t want to lose and get second position.And fortunately, I had Denzel with me this time who was helping me in training which my best friend Lenny never did.“You won’t win the competition like this, Eliana,” Denzel sighed when I served, shaking his head in disappointment.“Why? What is it? You said it before too that I won’t. What am I doing wrong?” I frowned when we were training but I failed to practice properly.And we were also doing this in a proper court so Papa won’t catch me and get furious that I was doing ‘stupid’ activities instead of studying.“If you want to win then you must not take your anger out on the ball. You are hitting too hard, relax.” He instructed, coming closer to stand behind me.“The fact you want to beat Melissa was taking over you, you must lose yourself and pay attention.” He whispered. “How?” “Here,” He placed one hand over my sho
“How are you? I will try to wrap up my work soon and take you home, Eliana,” I was on call with Kyle with a never ending grimace lingering on my features. Laying on the bed, I was staring at the ceiling.“Hmm. It’s alright, take your time,”“I will also make up for my mistakes.” “Hmm. Good luck,” I sounded so disinterested yet that didn’t stop him from continuing.“Hopefully then I can see your real smile.” “Kyle, I am sleepy, can we talk tomorrow?” I faked a yawn, sitting up as I pushed my hair back. His same things were pissing me off now. He was constantly exasperating me with these talks.“Oh, sure.” He chuckled nervously.“Take care,”“You too,” Not wanting to listen to his useless talks that could reduce my state of equanimity, I cut the call. “Were bonds supposed to work like this? Slap, doubt and do whatever one wanted and then fucking apologize.” I spoke under my breath angrily, not liking his talks at all. I went to the balcony for some fresh air along with a scowl li
The next day, the weather was cloudy and windy which called for a walk. The wind embracing my skin, the beautiful scene.I couldn’t resist the need to go out, walking around and indulge in nature while enjoying my ice-cream.Soon it began to rain and I was sitting alone in the gazebo as everyone left for their homes or enjoyed the rain with their loved one.“Ah… how lovely,” ‘Will I receive this kind of happiness again?’Thinking sorrowfully, I finished my ice-cream and stayed there until a familiar resonance came from behind, hitching my breaths.What he did to my soul was always to my oblivion. How could I feel in such a mystic way at one call?“Shall I drop you home?”Inhaling sharply, I gathered my composure to not fall weak by emotions and turned to him coldly.“What are you doing here?”He smirked faintly, water dripping from his hair. I could see his car parked nearby. It seemed like he came for me. The thought sent a shiver down my spine as he came and leaned against the pil
DENZEL’S POV:-‘Please leave my daughter else ‘he’ will kill her. I beg of you, Denzel, leave her path. In the worst case, he will annihilate my whole family,’ I could not forget Mr. Duke’s begging became a sting of my core.That became the fetter around my feet, stealing me away from my Eliana and to his begged, I merely replied- ‘Don’t worry, I won’t cast my shadow near her again, her life is far more important than anything else’Then why the hell I couldn’t stop myself!?What the hell was wrong with me? How could I possibly cause her more aching? Wasn’t the scars I gave her enough?Why was I constantly stopping at her doorsteps and falling into the pits of abysmal darkness? Why couldn’t I just stop myself from agonizing both of us? Where was this fucking courage before when she needed me!?“... I am sorry, I am so sorry,”Murmuring weakly to myself, I stood on the ground, drenched under the heavy rain where she left me with a tear rolling down my cheek.Thankfully the rain con
After knowing about his arrival, I had absolutely lost my mind. I knew he would only cause me endless troubles and it distressed me.Shaking my knees, I was pulling my hair in frustration, hating his arrival.“Wow, after ruining us, he had decided to return,” Lucas snarled, hating him for what he did to us.“I am amazed at his audacity to work here in our presence and moreover, a partnership with that Kyle,” Lucas hissed, slamming his hand on the table before turning to me.“Say something, Alpha, what should we do?” Frowning, I groaned in frustration, “How the hell did that happen in the first place?”“If he came to know about Gizelle, what would we do?” He asked but Gizelle’s disappearance was least of my concern.As long as he didn't know about the body, everything was alright.“And what if he told Armiz? Then what will we do?” I asked, my biggest concern.They will rip me off my position, I will become a rogue, I will lose the place I called home, my family.And by all means, I co
ELIANA’S POV:-We were coming back, my eyes were affixed at the window because I could feel he would mock me.Which he did.“Heard he got you snacks and stuff while I was away,” He faked a chuckle when we stopped at the red signal, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.“So what?”“Don’t you think he is trying to get your attention?”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose, “Why would he do this?”“Now that his girlfriend left him,” “What?”“Plus she ran away, making him the good guy, they will blame her anyways for his behavior,” I frowned, not bothering to glance at him, well aware he would speak something atrocious.Again, he did.“You are out of your mind,”“One has to be when their wife is too intimate with her neighbor,” He taunted.My attempt to ignore failed as I glared at him, “You have lost your mind, Kyle, are you doubting me?”“I am not, I am merely stating what I see.” He shrugged his shoulders.“Is that so? Then why did you make me bid him goodbye at the wedding
“That Denzel is a werewolf,” What. The. Fuck!?My jaw dropped, staring at his face at how seriously he spoke such a funny statement. He couldn’t possibly expect me to believe that, did he?“A- what? Are you kidding me?” I scowled, having no intention of listening to his stupid talks.He merely suppressed a chuckle at my reaction and leaned back on his seat, resting his one leg over the other dominantly.I narrowed my eyes from discontent to hear such things but he started placing some valid points that almost threw me into the abyss of questioning. “People around his area calls him ‘Alpha,’ the leader of the pack, the highest position, Pack’s name, Crimson Heart,” I opened my mouth to argue but paused. That didn’t prove anything. I continued to glare at him, folding my arms at my chest as he used his next words with a dark smirk.“Everyone is frightened of him, ninety percent of the people in your neighborhood are a part of the pack, they all follow him blindly. He is basically th
FIVE YEARS LATER,DENZEL’S POV:-“The show is starting at ten. It’s nine-thirty. Anthony’s performance is the second one, we can’t miss it,” Eliana scolded as I was driving home hastily since we were already late.“I am almost home, honey, you guys be ready, we will leave immediately,”“Okay,”She forgot to cut the call, probably getting ready until I heard my prideful, prodigious son, Matthew whining on the other side.“I told him not to participate, look. Who is chilling at home and who is at the school? That is stupid anyways.”That was why we didn’t give him special treatment, he had already placed himself high above.I chuckled at his demeanor as Eliana sighed.“Are you done?”“Yes, all ready and handsome,” See. Any further attention would destroy his character unlike our sweet, innocent and darling son Anthony who is sensible and responsible.“Yes, yes, my prideful one. Now, come on, Papa will be here anytime,”The second she said it, I was already at home and entered, cutting
ELIANA’S POV:-I was in complete disbelief when I found out Armiz died protecting Denzel, he knew he couldn’t live with the anguish and gave up on his life as a heavy compensation.After his respectful burial and a moment of anguish, Denzel was in our room, hanging his head low with ceaseless gloom.His destruction was at the edge, gripping on the sheets angrily.“Denzel…” Whispering his name softly, I sat beside him, taking his hand in mine for reassurance.“Eliana,”“Hmm?” “At least I didn’t bid him with regrets and anguish… he was at peace,”Unlocking the words he buried, he glanced at me with tears gleaming in his eyes, losing his breaths, pain worsening his condition.“He didn’t meet a miserable end… I didn’t let it… he smiled… but…”He started panting, holding onto me as support agonizingly. “But, Eliana,”And he failed to carry the agony in his chest. My eyes locked on him shattered him and he broke into a miserable wail.“He was my brother! I never hated him!”Gripping my sh
DENZEL’S POV:-There was something wrong which I failed to pick. What was it? I had no idea but I knew I failed to apprehend something. “What happened, Denzel?”“I am having a bad feeling, Eliana, it feel restless, like something is extremely wrong,”“Are you still doubting Armiz?” She frowned, not liking that he wanted to help us yet I was distrusting. “No… I don’t know. Am I?” I paused, holding my sides.She took a closer look at my face, studying it for a few seconds before placing her both hands over my shoulder and rubbing it gently.“Are you worried about something? About us? Him? Kyle?”“Something doesn’t fit right. Maybe I don’t want you guys to get hurt, maybe his escape or who did it,”“Umm,” Matthew raised his hand in the air.“Yeah, that must be it but don’t worry, we have everyone with us,”“Papa, listen,” He called again when we didn’t respond.“Yeah, what is it, Matthew?”“Maybe it’s none,” He replied vaguely, baffling both of us. Smiling faintly, Eliana patted his h
ELIANA’S POV:-Everything happened so rapidly that my mind was hazy about what happened and to think I fell for Denzel again.It was so aesthetically pleasing but also romantic. God Lord, the way he flirted with me, I wondered why he didn’t do this before? He sways me along his rhythm immaculately.But, now, we were back to our lives where he didn’t have to struggle to have me. Where all of his was mine and all of me was his…“... So that’s what happened,” Ending in a sigh, Denzel told me everything about him and Armiz’s bond. It was disheartening to hear how two brothers were separated because of her. They didn’t deserve it.Stopping in my tracks, my eyes shrinked on his handsome face, studying it for a moment that perplexed him.“What?”“Are you seriously not going to talk to him and stay angry forever?” I found it extremely hard to believe from what I heard. Denzel, the one who loved his brother dearly, now refuses to melt his heart.Although I agree Armiz’s words were harsh
I ran to the courtyard only to find my beloved mate there, placing my restless soul at serene. Lying unconscious on the bench while I was flabbergasted how it happened.And moreover, who did this?Who managed to enter my domain and place her there? Couldn’t be Kyle, then who was it?“Eliana!” Picking her hastily, my whole body found solace when her body was pressed against mine, easing my soul as I took her back to our room.Lying her down carefully on the bed, I removed the strands falling on her face behind, caressing her body tenderly.My eyes affixed on her beautiful body, increasing my heartbeats, delighted to have her near me.Sighing in relief, I came down to ask my sons about how she came here but Jake appeared out of nowhere and attempted to attack me.“Jake! What are you doing!?”Before he could hit me, Armiz came in between, pushing him away from attacking me.Folding my arms at my chest, I frowned, I expected this reaction from him.“I will kill him!” Jake shouted, snarl
PRESENT,With tears transparently twinkling on our faces, we were away from others, sitting on the ground as I finally decided to unfetter the lock on my tongue.And truly if it wasn’t for Eliana, I wouldn’t have bothered with it.But, I must make him give her back. “What…?”As I expected, it took a toll on him as he was staring at me in horror while I merely stared at the ground blankly.I left him years ago, he or his matters were no longer my concern, I couldn’t care less about his remorse. All I needed was Eliana.“Yes, she set me up and her condition got worse. She was going to be punished for having an affair already so she made her death worthwhile,” I smiled dryly in the end, rising from the ground.He was too shocked to react, taking a few moments to sink in the depth of my words and when he did, he grabbed my collar angrily.“Then why… why didn’t you tell me before, asshole!?” “Asshole, it shattered my heart when of all people YOU called me a monster. It hurt so damn much
“Armiz!!” “What the…” “Armiz… look what he did,” “What..?” My eyes widened. My brother wouldn’t believe that I would ever fathom hurting Albert, right?“Albert.. Our baby… why did you kill my son…?!” “Go and search for him. Now!” Armiz panicked, breathless while hugging Melissa, motioning to other members who ran and left us alone as I stared.I was too stunned to react.This wasn’t reality, right? “Don’t- Don’t be ridiculous, Melissa-” “All because you wanted me! You killed my child and laid hands on your own brother’s mate…? Where was your dignity?” She shouted, resting her head on his shoulder.And in a heartbeat, Armiz found it hard to believe but her condition… won over my tears. With a shaky, teary mess, I shook my head in denial as he converted his flabbergasted stare into a resentful glare.My brother, for the first time, looked at me with disgust and it stole words from my tongue.“He came to know Albert wasn’t actually yours and got rid of him… when you accepted him
Things were fine, I was wholeheartedly devoted to my family although I resented the image of a beast I had created but-As long as the people I love didn’t consider me one, I was fine.I loved them after all, always wanted to follow my brother’s footsteps and one day live as a joint family.But, all of that went down the drain, damaging the bond we had irrecoverably. One fine day, I was alone in the mansion of the Crimson Pack, humming to myself. “Denzel,”“Hmm?”Armiz went to play with Albert as I was walking down the corridor, I saw Melissa who stopped me. “Do you need something?” Taking out my cigarette, I asked casually. She was leaning on the opposite side, hanging her head low with dejection which perplexed me.“Melissa?” “Do you hate me, Denzel?”I chuckled nervously, “Of course not, why would you ever think this way, Melissa?” “I am sorry if my teasing makes you feel bad, I won’t do it again,” I reassured her, smiling sincerely.She was my sister-in-law, I knew she didn
“Where the fuck is she, Armiz!?”We had been arguing for the past ten minutes.Everyone from his pack gathered when I hit his chest furiously.“I told you, I don’t know! She didn’t return,” Her disappearance made me lose myself, my breaths were heavy, my mind barely functioning properly. I was explicitly delighted at our reunion.“I never took her then where did she go!?”“Who knows?”I believed her spell would be lifted off, so exhilarated to become hers and forget all our pain.And I was hundred percent sure it was another of his tricks to agonize me.No one dared to interfere, he was monotonous, not leaving his cigarette while I glared at him breathlessly.“What have you done to her?” I hissed.He furrowed his brow, “Come again?”“What did you do to my Eliana, Armiz?”“Do you truly think I would bring physical harm to the ones you love?” He hissed back.Throwing the cigarette away as he glared back. “If I wanted to kill her, I would have easily done it when she escaped to France,
