When I thought I had earned a reprieve from my disturbing situation, from the imprisonment shackles known as my marriage- I was NOT prepared for my upcoming ordeal.‘Finally, no fetter can hold me back, I can now run to him,’ I thought merrily, heaving a sigh of calmness.Relieved at my liberation from Kyle’s shadow.I was happy that I didn’t have to be with him anymore and that everything would be alright now.I had firm faith to gain Denzel’s companionship now.Until the door knocked and the man I least wanted to see came.“Who is it?” “Eliana,”Armiz.Honestly, I had no proper introduction of him.I had no idea who he was except him and Denzel were on terrible terms and he was unbelievably strong that everyone was frightened of him.“Eliana, I know you are there,”What did Denzel say back then- Ah, the community’s strongest. What community? Probably of werewolves.And him being here meant trouble without a doubt.“Open the door, I am here to talk,” He breathed out, sounding calm
“I want him to lose his mate too,” Then he was lying, this must be a lie. Must be a petty attempt to separate us and break us.I won’t let this happen, my feelings weren’t that weak to get manipulated by a stranger’s words.“You are lying, I don’t trust you at all,”Tears formed a screen in my eyes, moving my head to reject this premise while palpitating at the same time.He could feel my exasperation and terror. “Oh, don’t make this face, when he could kill Gizelle, his years of girlfriend without remorse then why not others?” Letting out a ‘tch, tch, tch,’ sound to fake compassion, he moved back, holding his sides before another unforeseen declaration.“And in case you don’t know, your mate is a cold-blooded murderer. He had ruined too many lives, used to be a beast,”I gasped, “No…! Stop lying about him! Denzel could never!”“This generosity he displays is only a façade. He is merely beckoning you and it would be my honor to break your delusion,” He smirked, being so monotonous
FIVE YEARS LATER.DENZEL’S POV:-‘Where are you, my mate? I swear, I will find you from the pits of hell.’I never knew my life would be this hollow without her.That these breaths would become so meaningless. That my soul would ache to the point I would be reduced to nothingness.I never knew nor realized how much she meant to me until she left.‘You are mine and you shall be mine, my dearest,’And her absence had become the most powerful sting of my heart. Lack of my mate had turned me insane, it made me an insensitive beast.I was once again at the point in my life I ran away from…‘Don't torment me like this. Come back to me, my Darling,”With my emotions and obstinacy at peak, I was no longer in control of my actions and took the toll of it on anyone in my vicinity.“I told you, didn’t I? You should have submitted or find her for your redemption,”By ravaging smaller packs and forcefully taking over them to join us, or, ordering them to find Eliana, if they won't, I would devast
One night, at full moon, Armiz unexpectedly called me and though I hated visiting his territory due to those blood thirsty wolves, I came nonetheless.To Crimson Soul, the bloodthirsty pack of the community. I am the Alpha of the Crimson Heart. Our names were entwined like our undesirable fates.After what happened with Eliana, Jake also joined his pack and had been resenting me since then.I was waiting for Armiz until Jake came and took a seat.“Oh, hey, now your hopelessness led you here too?” He taunted delightfully.A wide smirk of relief plastered on his features all because I couldn’t have ‘my’ woman.“How desperately are you going to search for her, Denzel?”He sneered, testing my patience simply by existing here.Yet I tried to respond calmly, “I will use all my remaining breaths to find her,”“You know what, Denzel?” Spreading a vile smirk, he leaned forward to whisper at my face, his deepest wish.“I pray your mate vanishes just like my sister did,” “Curse your foul tong
ELIANA’S POV:-“Get up, you two! The bus will be here any time!” Shouting, I rushed into preparing my son’s lunchbox, preparing it, knowing they were extremely tardy in the morning.Since they just started their school, we were getting used to time management.“I swear, you will become the reason for my insanity one day. These two will drive me mad,” ‘Ah, how much my life has changed…’After breakfast and lunch, I wiped my hands, checking the time constantly before rushing upstairs to see my sons.“Matthew, Anthony! Boys! Get up!”They were sitting on the bed, eyes closed but thankfully had freshened up and worn their uniform too.I sighed in relief, grabbing the brush to set their hair perfectly while their silver eyes were staring at me, reminding me of their father most of the time.They were patient and good kids, which I never recalled being one, probably like him but I couldn’t care less about it.“Good Lord, going to school for the past two months but still not used to it,”
“I don’t want this, I said, I don’t want this!”With tears glistening in my sapphire eyes, my miserable voice echoed in the room, only to receive a glare from my mother.“Shut up, Eliana, do you have any idea what the hell are you saying!? Tomorrow is your wedding and that is final.” She growled, pushing me away.She refused to listen as we were being forced. My ex-boyfriend, Kyle, was threatening me to marry him.And I couldn’t… because my heart belongs to someone else.“Please, try to understand, Mama, I can’t!”“Why!?”My black hair was messy, scattered over my back as I shook my head in denial, refusing to bind my life with a man I no longer loved.It was all forced and unwanted on my side. I didn’t want this!“I can’t do this, please, don’t do this to me, Mama,” Whispering weakly, I wiped my gleaming tears and pleaded with her yet it was unheard. My tears or anger had no effect. They were determined to make me marry Kyle which I didn’t want at all cost, not when my feelings fo
The next day, dressed as a bride forcefully, I was holding my mother’s arm desperately. “Mama, I will do anything you say, don’t make me marry Kyle,”“Do you think I want that? We have no choice, my love. Look at your father, only you can save him.” She sighed, frowning when I was not moving an inch as she secured the veil over my head.I wanted them to listen, to understand that he wasn’t the man I wanted. In fact, the one I truly desired was the person who forced me to say yes.Why couldn’t he notice my love? My feelings for him? Why make me marry Kyle when I didn’t want to?“Please…” I whimpered, clutching my chest due to pain and enhancing that sting, he entered with his cold front. Wow, so he had dressed up for my fucking wedding too.Unbothered expressions, wearing all black shirt and pants accompanied by a waistcoat and well combed hair to look eye-catching.My jaw clenched, glaring at him through the reflection which he obviously ignored and asked Mother.“Are you guys read
“I pronounce you as the husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride,”What the fuck did just happen in a moment? I… got married… to someone else?No, no, no…My body shivered at the declaration. My eyes went wide from heartache, mouth gaped. A strong rush of pain traveled, turning me incapable of reacting.“I was dying for this moment, you are finally all mine now, Mrs. Hudson,”I stood like a statue when he lifted my veil and without a warning pressed his lips upon mine. I didn’t kiss back, it was cold, it was horrible.I hated the way those lips moved upon mine, satisfying his carving following by a tear of defeat because-My love lost. My feelings lost. I lost.After the undesirable kiss, we pulled away. I wiped my lips which Kyle noticed but he was too exhilarated and decided to ignore it. “Please take care of my daughter,” Mother wept, hugging me while I stood dead inside.“I know I took a wrong approach but I will try my best to redeem my mistake,” Kyle grinned, placing his h
