Damon's POV I look at her for a brief minute, trying to organize the thoughts in my head, according to what she just asked me right now. Yeah, I guess I should also ask myself that particular question. But there is actually something different from everything. The funny thing is that I am not pretending. Good goddess knows I am not pretending and the only thing my body is craving for right now is her. Crazy right? As it should be. So fucking crazy.My worst enemy. The very person I swore with my entire being that I was going to detest till the day I joined my ancestors. I have always hated her presence and her kind. Just seeing her breathing usually gets me annoyed. But now, I don't know if I should even take my time to explain what happened because I don't even know how to explain it. I am completely confused. My emotions are in a confused frenzy right now as I continue to look at her, while she gives me that questioning gaze. I guess it has already become so evident to her
Damon's POV From the tone of the voice I am hearing from the phone, I can tell that that is her werewolf friend, Cassidy. And I damn well know her too much. She is a rogue wolf with no intention of ever fitting into any pack so it is no surprise that she is one of serena's friends. I don't know what to say about Luna because she doesn't really have any bizarre attributes to her but the supernaturals at school already know the three of them as the girls with a lot of weirdness. With a jolt, I realized that she has ended the call and she is about stepping back into their apartment. I quickly step back inside and move briskly away from the entrance before she comes in and looks at me with an expression that tells she wasn't expecting my presence. She looks at me for a while and then rolls her eyes before attempting to walk past me towards the staircase that leads to her room.But I stopped her instantly forcing her to come to a halt directly beside me.She turns her head a little t
Damon's POV I watch as she instantly stops directly at the bottom of the staircase and it makes me smile.She hesitates for a little while without moving a single bone in her body before shaking her head and slowly turning around to look at me with annoyance evident in her eyes. I smirk and wink at her and notice her face turn beet red. Her pupils are literally screaming the words 'fuck you' to me and it kind of gets me so hyper excited my internal organs are going crazy. Why the hell am I feeling so erratic and hard because of her actions? Good goddess, this is just so crazy and I feel like I'm going insane. This is strange. I want to feel more of that so I guess I just have to keep pestering and getting her angry in any way I can.She looks like she is about to walk over to me and give me a heavy, dirty, slap. But then at the same time she knows she cannot do that because she might annoy the very one person capable of giving her what she wants right now. I'm not going to argue
Damon's POV I shake my head and dump the plates in the kitchen carelessly before moving around with frustration, cursing and slamming my palm against the wall without realizing that Brian is standing right at the door edge glancing at me and slowly sipping his hot chocolate.“Yeah, you know for someone who is not really feeling attracted to another girl, you really really look bad right now." I quickly turn around to look at him and give him a hard glare. “Can't you just ignore me for at least a few minutes? Must you follow me wherever I go?" " I'm just here to urge you to hurry the fuck up because we have classes in a few minutes and I'm not ready to be delayed by your silly lazy ass or because your dick is craving to fuck a forbidden fruit.”Good goddess. I hate it when he says that. And the fact that he keeps on repeating it is very evident that he is saying it on purpose just to get to me. “For the second time today, shut the fuck up Brian." " But I don't really understand.
Damon's POV I am losing it by the day and I think I am really going mad. “So can you give me one reason why you haven't prepared yet because I remember leaving you exactly 30 minutes ago? Are you really that slow?" Great. Now she is trying to get me infuriated by calling me a slow tortoise. I chuckle and shake my head before looking back at her as I bite against my bottom lip. “That is not going to work, Serena. That is totally not going to work. I can promise you that. I was still dealing with my breakfast and I knew it wasn't a really hard job to get myself prepared. I didn't want to prepare and get down here and begin to wait for you to find myself sweating all over again so yeah, just chill and wait. I'll be back in 3 minutes." She looks at me with a raised eyebrow, giving me a disbelieving look and I chuckle before giving her a smirk. We haven't exactly been too close for a very long time to actually know each other's special abilities so yeah, she has every reason to be d
Serena's POVThe vehicle finally comes to a stop, directly at the entrance of crescent moon high international high School, bringing my thoughts back to the presence as I divert my focus from the window of the car back to Damon who is still relaxed in his seat, trying to prepare his school amenities before we step inside. I continue to look at him with a lot of desperate questions ringing through my mind but I don't have the nerve to ask any since we have not been so close to getting to that certain level of communication. I just feel so confused and my brain is currently having a hard time to process what I witnessed back at the mansion when he used a split second to get himself ready for school. That is literally the most crazy thing I have ever witnessed in my life because... Good goddess I can't describe it. It was like he was standing there with his house wear on and then I closed my eyes and opened it to see him in his school uniform, already set and prepared with his beaut
Serena's POVThe powerful sensations I feel, that moves through my body at that contact, makes me shiver a little and I don't know how I wrap my arms tightly against his head to gain control of my position on his laps.Okay that took me off guard. I shake my head and struggle to get down from his lap but he is not giving me the chance as he slips his hands into my skirt and begins to squeeze my ass beneath my skirt furiously, sending so many powerful, rippling, sensations down between my legs. "Damon... What are you... doing?"I find myself shivering and whispering his name uncontrollably.he begins to unhook my bra and my eyes go wide with so much craziness. I don't even know how he had managed to take off half of my shirt and half of my bra forcing one of my breasts to pop out without control. He buries his face against it and begins to suck against my nipple, forcing me to arch my back while he squeezes my ass beneath my skirt holding me tightly to himself till I can feel his h
Serena's POV I am desperate for some strange reason unknown to me and I have no fucking power to control it. Damon takes hold of my waist and adjusts himself against me pulling me down to himself and I moan feeling his hard member forcing its way deep into my pussy making me clench tightly against it with a very powerful raw desire that makes it feel as if my brain has been split open. I am panting excessively hard as I cling tightly to him trying to regain my strength from that powerful orgasm I just had with that one strike. Goddess it feels so fucking good and I have no control over it. "Oh my god baby." Damon whispers and quickly takes off my uniform shirt and then he removes my bra leaving me completely naked with only my skirt on. He buries his face against my breasts and sucks on each of my nipples holding me tightly against himself as I begin to move my waist against him with all the craving in my body crying out loud at the powerful sensations I am feeling in my puss
DAMON'S POVI've never been this afraid in my entire immortal life.Not when I first turned and felt my humanity slipping away like sand through desperate fingers. Not during my worst hunts through pitch-black forests with nothing but instinct guiding me. Not even when I fought my way out of a vampire pit at seventeen with nothing but a broken fang and pure, undiluted rage burning through my veins like acid.This—this—is something else entirely. Something that makes my ancient blood run cold.Serena is on her knees in the middle of the ruined living room, surrounded by splintered furniture and shattered glass. Her arms are bent at unnatural, impossible angles behind her, trembling violently like leaves in a hurricane. Her head is thrown back at a painful tilt, her mouth slightly open in a silent scream, and her eyes... gods, her eyes are rolled up so far I only
SERENA'S POVThe pain is indescribable—beyond any human language's capacity to capture its essence.It's not just in my head—it is my head in its entirety. It feels like someone's driving razor-sharp claws straight into the soft tissue of my brain, methodically twisting and shredding every coherent thought, every cherished memory, every fundamental shred of who I am at my core. I can't breathe through the agony. I can't form a single rational thought.I can barely maintain a sense that I exist at all.Isabella watches me with predatory intensity, her expression twisted into a sick, delighted smile that reveals too many teeth. Her glowing crimson eyes drink in my excruciating pain like it's an exquisite feast prepared solely for her consumption. There's unmistakable hunger there. Desperate, primal need. Something infinitely deeper and more disturbing
SERENA'S POVThe air turns heavier with every breath I take. It doesn't just press on my chest—it crushes it with the weight of impending doom. Like trying to breathe through viscous tar. Thick. Suffocating. Oppressive. Every labored inhale feels like it might be the last, my lungs straining against an invisible force that seeks to silence me forever.I see it in the others too—the unmistakable strain, the slow, painful unraveling of their strength. Damon's broad shoulders sag visibly, his normally perfect stance losing the military precision that usually defines him. His once-fluid movements grow increasingly sluggish, as if he's fighting through waist-deep water, each strike requiring double the effort. Cassidy stumbles mid-swipe, her dancer's grace momentarily abandoning her as she barely dodges a vampire's yellowed claw that slices the air mere inches from her flushed face. A fraction slower and her fles
SERENA'S POV The fear around me isn’t just thick—it’s suffocating, pressing into my chest with invisible hands, making it hard to breathe. It’s not panic. It’s worse. It’s the knowing kind—the kind that seeps into your bones when your body realizes you might not survive.Vampires pour into the room like a flood let loose. Their eyes burn with frenzy, fangs gleam wet with blood, and every last one of them is locked on me. I can feel their hunger like heat against my skin. My breath catches in my throat, shallow and useless. My legs refuse to move. Every muscle in my body screams to run, to fight, to do something—but I can’t even figure out where to go. There’s nowhere safe. No space left.“Hold the line!” Damon’s voice slices through the chaos like thunder cracking the sky.And then—just like that—they’re around me.Damon, Cassidy, Luna, Brooke, Ryan, Brian—they close ranks with the kind of coordination that only comes from shared survival. It’s instinctual. Protective. Fierce. They d
SERENA'S POVThe moment Brian and Cassidy step into the living room from their hiding place, I see it in their eyes. That shimmer of gold, pulsing beneath the surface like molten metal struggling to break free, tells me everything I need to know. It's their werewolf instincts kicking in—heightened senses, sharpened awareness, primal intuition thrumming beneath human skin. We were not the only ones who felt it. That oppressive pressure in the air, like the sky itself dropped a few feet lower, crushing us beneath its invisible weight. That split-second stretch of time, how the shadows dragged just a little too long, as if something unseen pulled at them, toying with reality itself. Something is terribly, dangerously wrong.Cassidy's eyes narrow, sweeping over the large space like a blade ready to strike. Her posture shifts, muscles coiling tight beneath her skin, tense and poised like a predator se
SERENA’S POVThe warmth still lingers between us—tender, quiet, and deeply comforting.I tug my shirt over my head and smooth my hair down with a soft exhale as Damon finishes buttoning his jeans. There's a softness in his gaze, a kind of afterglow that transcends the physical—it's emotional, magnetic, and hard to look away from. We don’t need to speak. The way he reaches over and intertwines our fingers says more than a thousand whispered words ever could. We’re wrapped in something real, something deeper than desire.As we step out of the room and descend the winding spiral staircase, the low hum of laughter and conversation rises to greet us. Down in the cozy living area, Luna, Ryan, and Brooke sit huddled around a rustic wooden table, a deck of cards splayed between them like a colorful puzzle. Luna’s fingers move with elegant flair, each shuffle deliber
DAMON'S POVHer words, raw and demanding – "Give me all of you. Now." – resonate deep within the core of my being, echoing through me like a physical blow. They send a powerful tremor down my spine, a vibration that has absolutely nothing to do with the lingering, pleasant tension of bringing her to a shattering release just moments before. This is something new, something fiercely reciprocal. My gaze locks with hers, instantly captivated, drowning in the brilliant, almost feverish shine that illuminates her eyes from within. I see the deep, becoming flush staining her high cheekbones, spreading down her neck – undeniable, visceral proof of the inferno I deliberately stoked within her soul. An inferno that now rages with an almost desperate need for completion, for absolute possession. She wants me. All of me. Badly. The knowledge is a potent drug, intoxicating and overwhelmingly satisfying.A lo
DAMON'S POVI can't help it. The need claws at me, an overwhelming tide that’s been building for hours, days, maybe longer. It’s a physical ache deep in my gut, a frantic energy buzzing just beneath my skin. And now… now she’s here. Right in front of me, in my apartment, the very place my fantasies have played out a thousand times. There’s nothing between us, no watchful eyes, no imminent interruption – at least, not yet.I know this is borrowed time. A stolen moment before the world, before her father, inevitably discovers she’s gone and rips her away again. That knowledge sharpens the edge of my desire, making every second precious, potent. There’s no room for discussion, no time for hesitant talk. Action is the only language that makes sense right now.With a low growl rising in my chest, I surge forward, pinning her against the cool wood of
SERENA’S POVThe night air is cool on my skin as Damon holds me close, carrying me as though I’m the most precious thing in the world. His strong, steady arms beneath me feel reassuring, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat vibrating against my cheek as I rest my head against his chest. It’s the only sound I focus on as we finally reach the apartment, my heart pounding—not just from the run, not just from the fear, but from the overwhelming swirl of emotions inside me: relief, joy, love... hunger.Damon pushes the door open, the scent of warm takeout and something faintly herbal filling the air, but there’s something else too—a tension, thick and unspoken. Inside, his friends are sprawled across the living room, a deck of cards scattered across the table between them. Brian, Ryan, and Brooke all look up in unison, their eyes widening slightly as they take in the sight of Damon cra
