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
DENZEL’S POV:-‘Under all unfavorable circumstances, I have become the villain of our tale…’Always trying to be harsh on me, to punish me for my actions which were justified. My silence ruined her dreams, it killed our destiny.Eliana did right by rejecting me in that rain.I had lost that privilege of proximity.‘Because she is fucking married. My mate belongs to another man… all because of me,’ “Fuck, don’t think about it,” Muttering under my breath, I shook my head and left for a meeting.At work, I was done with a meeting and an important file. My mind was disturbed, I was worried where things would lead but I must bore with it.I must not fall and lose to that asshole at all cost.“Dammit, dammit,” Taking a brief break after engrossing my mind at work, I was rubbing my temples until Lucas came. “Are you okay, Alpha?”“Huh? Yeah. I guess,” I trailed off, taking my coffee from him.“What do you think Jake will do?” He asked vaguely.He knew it must be about him, only he could
At Eliana’s call, I wrapped up my work as soon as I possibly could and returned. I could have come immediately but hopelessness would be seen as a lie.It would be meaningless so I stopped myself and finished my work before coming back. After I freshened up, I texted her and took out a cigarette, smoking in the garden, waiting for her and soon her scent reached me.My heart skipped a beat, my blood hummed in the beautiful sensation, finding myself being drowned in her inebriation.“Ah, what a hauntingly beautiful sensation.”Smiling faintly to myself, I exhaled the smoke in the air and greeted her in my most charming tone.“Hey,”Without replying, I saw her hands on the wall and stopped her immediately.“Hey- hey, stop, I will come to your side. Doctor has forbidden you from climbing,” I called hastily.Blowing the cigarette in the ashtray and eating a peppermint so the scent won’t disturb her.I came to her side with a feeble smile that she still wants to see me.“Hello there, I tho
ELIANA’S POV:-I was at home, Kyle’s home to be exact. The room was dimly lit. my breaths were unstable, I was standing in the middle of the room with a frozen body and uneven breaths.Sweat rolled down my forehead, throat dried in anticipation when Kyle was before me. He was in his white shirt and black pants. Hair scattered over his forehead, his belt wrapped around his hands that was frightening me by each passing second.He was silent all this time. I had no idea what I did now.“Kyle-” I attempted to call him softly only to get cut off by his dominant resonance in echoing in the room. My shoulders get tense, making a disquiet face.“And you know what is the worst part of it?”A deadly shiver went down my spine, scared to no extent, hoping he might have not heard further. He walked up to me, blurring my vision with tears, “That I…” My heart skipped countless beats, my body turning cold when he was right in front of me. Husky, breathless, hovering over me with his one hand in
