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
We went home and freshened up. I was detangling my hair until Kyle appeared before me and placed his hands over my shoulder.“Eliana,”“Yes?”My body turned numb with an unhealthy sensation as I stood still when he leaned down.His lips brushed against my neck as I bore with all the unasked sensation, allowing his hands to dig their nails onto my shoulder.“I love you so much. I wish you could give me a chance,” He murmured, kissing my neck. “Each time I try… you do something to worsen things,” I frowned.Attempting to ignore his actions and focusing entirely onto my hair while he continued kissing my neck to imprint his mark on my skin.“I am trying to change, I promise, I will be good.” He whispered, resting his head against mine, embracing me firmly from behind.“For you,”I paused, loosening my body and staring at his reflection in the mirror with a dead look as his other hand wrapped around my stomach.“For our baby,”I did not feel safe, protective or any affection. It felt lik
