1. He Is Not Worth ItSerena's POV "You have no freaking idea how disgusting you sound right now."" Oh really? Why don't you tell me? You disgusting human filth." His voice hits me back with strong disdain etched in it and this increases the fury in my mind. I'm going so crazy right now. I step towards him and stand directly in front of him. "I don't get you. Is it because of how rich your father is you lift yourself so high you begin to bully and mistreat others anyhow you think? Yet, you have no idea that you are just living off your father's riches. You are nothing more than a bum as far as I can tell. You have achieved nothing and you are just taking your father's heritage as an advantage to bring others down just because they didn't have the kind of opportunity you have." I reply with some more fury and I can realize that the argument between us is already catching the attention of various other students in the hallway. A large number of them are behind him, cheering and sup
Damon's POV LATER THAT NIGHT... I swerve the vehicle through the night on the road, speeding through and glancing at intervals at the dashboard to check the time to ensure that we are not late." Yo man, the way you handled that Serena girl was wild. I mean, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it throughout the day. You were harsh, man. I mean, you couldn't even cut the little girl some slack." Brian, one of my friends in the passenger seat beside me, says out loud, and this forces me to chuckle as I glance at the side view mirror of the car, trying to figure out if there are any cops nearby."Bro didn't even consider that she was a person with a soul and could easily get hurt. I felt the blast of the insult you rained upon her, man; it was epic." Ryan, another of my friends speaks up from the backseat, but all I just do is chuckle as I brush my fingers against my chin, still moving my hand through the steering wheel on the road. I am trying to keep my focus intact and not a
Serena's POVOh, bless me, moon goddess. I have never felt so high and elevated in my life before. Everywhere feels so light-weighted. It feels as though the clouds have surrounded me. In fact. I feel like I am elevating. I can't feel the ground on my feet anymore. I am jumping crazily and screaming my lungs out, allowing the beat of the music to get deep into my senses, moving my body to its own volition without control. I place my hand on my waist and begin to twist crazily, allowing my hair to fall roughly all over my face. I am not in control of myself right now. Oh goodness me, Cassidy was right. I needed this. This alcohol is the strongest thing I have ever tasted in my life. Why hadn't I been constrained enough to think of this whenever I needed to vent off? I feel so happy. I can't even begin to describe it. I feel like all the burdens in my life have been lifted. I feel so free and alive in ways I have never felt before. Hell no. I don't think this is the last time I'm
Damon's POV "oh yes please take me. Please take me I beg you." My beast is growling. Her voice is echoing extremely loud in my ears I am slowly losing control of myself. I shake my head and clench my fists tight against the bedspread.What the hell am I doing? This is my fucking enemy we are talking about. I'm supposed to be giving a punch. I'm supposed to be stabbing her straight in the heart and committing the act that should have been done right from the day she was born, but goddess, I can't stop myself. I can't help it. Her voice. It's so smooth and so silk and so soft it is evaporating my senses and making me not think rightly the way I should. I find myself gazing at her magnificent perfectly white silk pale skin. I have already managed to take off her shirt and her bra and looking at those enticing tits of hers is making my wolf scream with all the desire in my body. This cannot be possible. How the hell can she be my mate? I find myself growling as I bury my face in ben
Serena's POVThat very sharp, familiar cracking sound of my ringing tone, which is the voice of a cock crowing in the morning, forces me to jerk off the bed with sleepy eyes, my surroundings still blurry, and I frown slightly when a sharp pain hits me in the skull, forcing me to wince. I place my palm against my forehead and sigh, trying to ease the sharp pain a little bit before turning around on the bed and sitting up. I cover my face with my palms for a little while, trying to regain my senses. "Oh my god, what the hell happened?" I mutter calmly to myself, the pain still hitting hard against my head. Is this some sort of migraine or what? I think to myself, but that ringing tone is still persistent, somewhere close by behind me, and this forces me to open my eyes for a little while. My surroundings are a little bit unfamiliar, and this makes me blink my eyelids rapidly. Where the hell am I? I think to myself, but I turn my head towards where my phone is and I pick it up imme
Serena's POVI am ignorant of all the looks surrounding me as I grip the handle of my backpack, walking through the hallway towards my target.I don't know why, but for some strange reason, I'm having this strong feeling that everyone seems to be scrutinizing me and gossiping about me right now.It can't be ignored and I can feel it all around me. Every eye is on me. Some of them are giving me looks of chastisement, some are giving me looks of disgust, and some are scrunching up their faces as if I must be the most irritating living being on earth, both human beings and supernatural beings alike. It makes me frown with confusion, but I struggle to keep that thought out of my mind.Whispers are endless all around me and it makes me clench my fists. It is not like it is the first time I am receiving such sort of attention from everyone. But why does it feel so much worse right now? As if something is on my face that is creating another sort of gossip for them.I, however, shake the thou
Serena's POV"This is preposterous. Unacceptable. I don't understand how everything got to this. What the hell were you doing that you couldn't caution your child to maintain her lane and not place her sights in the places she can't reach? What exactly were you doing?!!!" Elder Mobius of the werewolf clan, Damon's dad, is thundering in the Blackthorn mansion, where I remain seated, gazing at the ground with extreme fear in my senses.I am surrounded by our parents, Damon and I, and it is increasing my fear all the more because dad is currently situated in a section of the large expansive sitting room with his legs crossed, relaxed back against the sofa, piercing me with that frightening gaze that tells me that a series of endless punishments are my portion by the time this discussion is over.He looks impatient as he continues to tap his foot on the floor relentlessly, increasing the fear in my body."This is one of the biggest abominations I've ever heard in my entire life in the sup
Damon's POV I won't lie to you. I don't know what everyone is thinking about me right now. I don't know if they can see my expression and tell me what I am thinking deeply. But I am concerned about one thing. I am freaking frightened. I am not frightened because of the ongoing scandal between me and Serena. I am not scared about what I did with her. Goddess knows why I am not even feeling any amount of regret about it. If nothing I am feeling instead a very powerful urge and craving deep down within me to just be with her in any way I can.It's crazy and it feels abnormal. But it's how it is for some strange reason. Looking at her sitting beside me with that majestic, smooth, beautiful, pale face of hers, flashing me those stunning crystal-like irises is giving me some sort of calmness I never expected to feel whenever I'm standing right in front of the man before me known to be my father.I know I am in deep trouble. I know I have messed things up. I can tell that my mom is a
Serena's POVI remain against the ground, crawling backward as the wizard begins to move closer towards me, extending his hand and resuming the dangerous sorcery he was about to perform against me.But he is unable to complete that when we hear a very loud growl coming from behind him.Both of us turn our heads to behold a bizarre-looking wolf that jumps against him, gripping tightly against his neck and swinging him toward another direction.Good goddess, that is Damon's full wolf self, and it takes me completely off guard to behold how huge and gigantic and extremely terrifying he looks right now.I continue to step backward, observing the battle between Damon and the wizard when another presence catches my attention.I quickly look up to behold the other witches and wizards whom we had neglected all this while, slowly moving towards me with an urgency."Let's take this chance. We can't perform the ritual he
At this point in time, I suddenly lose control of myself, and I feel a very strong, dark, vibrating force that takes perfect control all over my body.The next thing I see at first is complete, total darkness, and then within a few minutes, I finally begin to observe my surroundings, but everything is not the usual normal color of the human eye which I can perceive.All I can make out is complete, thick red all over me, and I can behold the organs of all the witches and wizards standing in front of me."Oh great, something is about to get freakish right now."Damon's POVThe fear that is rocking through my senses is severe as I grip tightly against the jaw of the angry-looking dog in front of me. I twist its neck, rendering it completely lifeless before tossing it aside.Then I turn my head to behold Serena far away, being surrounded by the cloaked figures, stretching their hands toward her as if about to cast a spell o
My heart skips a beat the moment he says that, and I quickly look up at him, pulling down his head to look at me. "Are you fucking stupid? That is a very wrong move to make right now. You should have observed and realized how dangerous these people are. Why the hell would you be suggesting a fight? Do you want to get yourself killed?" I find myself blurting out at him, but he smiles down at me. "Calm down, Serena, okay? I know what I'm doing, and I promise you that nothing is going to happen to either of us. This is really, really crazy, though, and I don't really know why I feel like I should really hold on to you and protect you with all my life, but considering how our lives have been previously, a few months ago, my first option in this kind of scenario would have been for me to just hand you over to them so they can get rid of you instantly, but right now, I really just can't explain or understand what the hell you
I don't know why, but it only feels as though his words are like honey and milk and butter all mixed together, brushing against the strings of my heart and making me feel so warm and so soft deep down within.It feels so overwhelming and so surprisingly peaceful as I grip tightly against him as though he is my life support."We really do not want to beat about the bush right now, and we want things to be so easy," I suddenly hear a very deep, manly voice coming from one of the cloaked figures, and it makes it so obvious that this person is really indeed a wizard because his voice isn't coming out with the normal, natural sound that everyone knows. It is coming out as though he is speaking through a microphone, something like an echo."Give us the girl, and we are going to be on our way," he continues, and I feel Damon tremble all the while he is still holding me tightly against himself.My heartbeat accelerates the moment the fellow says that
The light is so bright and sharp, capable of piercing through the strongest element.Damon is swift enough to quickly push me away before bending down backward slowly and evading the attack of the light that flashed in between us.We watch as it strikes a building a few meters away from us and cracks a segment of it, allowing a huge amount of debris to fall to the Earth."Oh crap," I think to myself as I turn my head to glance at the cloaked fellow, who is now walking toward us with a very sharp, determined intensity, and from what I can figure out right now, I don't know why I'm feeling as though this particular fellow is coming after no one else except me.His entire focus and attention are totally on me, and I can feel it."We need to get out of here, Serena," Damon says and quickly takes hold of my hand, about to lead me to another section when a similarly bright greenish light manifests a few meters away and then vanishes t
"Am I the only one who heard that?" he asks, and I swiftly turn my head to look at him, biting down against my bottom lip."Well, you are definitely not the only one," I say as I continue to look around.He also extends his hands, slowly moving backward and gradually squatting to the ground as if preparing to get into his battle attack mode."Something doesn't smell right here," he says and swiftly begins to sniff the entire surroundings. "We are totally not alone," he says, and this, as usual, begins to make my heartbeat increase extremely fast in my chest as I clench my fists tightly together, trying to contain the pressure moving through my body."If you know what is good for you, Serena, you will have to do everything within your power to unleash your capacity to the maximum so we can bolt out of here and not encounter anything deadly."I bite down hard against my lip as I observe him intensely with fury."And I fuc
"Damon van Allen," I say, "I can promise you that you do not have a choice with this. If you do not open your mouth right now and tell me what the hell you are hiding from me, there is nothing that will ever make me forgive you, not even the moon goddess. And I promise you, we are literally going to be enemies forever. Don't think the fake marriage is going to stop anything."He suddenly stops and looks at me, feeling completely defenseless as he finally bites against his lip."You really don't give up, do you?" he asks, but I just shake my head and fold my arms."You left me with no choice. You can't just blurt out something like that and expect me to just forget easily about it. Well, your prank almost made me forget it, but well, I guess that didn't work well for you, did it?"He looks at me for a very short while before shaking his head and brushing his fingers through his hair once again."I don't know, Serena, but I don't
Unable to contain the curiosity that surges through my body, I quickly move down to the Earth and stand directly in front of him, obstructing his movement. I observe as he suddenly comes to a stop and scratches the road with sharp claws.Then, within the next few minutes, he begins to shift, returning to his normal human form. I look at his completely naked form in front of me, feeling my face turn red with embarrassment."Good Lord!" I exclaim. "I seriously cannot believe this right now! Jesus, why the hell don't you werewolves have any fucking shame in your body?" I scream at him, listening as he laughs out loud and shakes his head."There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed about, Serena," he says. "it's nighttime. I wonder who would be here that would want to look at my nakedness?" He says this and begins to look around as if scanning for something, but I just shake my head and fold my arms, observing him intensely."So, do you care t
"Hey, take it easy Serena, okay? This is not a fight, neither is it an argument," Brian says as he steps closer and stands beside Damon, placing his hand against his shoulders. "Come on, it was totally my idea, okay? I just felt the need for us to crack your shell open a little bit and bring out that supernatural side of you. You know, about the traumatic experience you went through, we could just..."Good goddess, I can't continue to listen to the nonsense he is saying right now as I swiftly turn around and begin to make my way towards the entrance of the building.I am so fed up with this shit.Damon finally materializes in front of me and takes hold of my hands. "Okay, I am so sorry, okay? I never should have done this, and we never should have scared you this much, but please just calm down. We were just trying to make the mood a little bit lighter, you know, in some sort of supernatural way. Well, at least now you can see it was not real - w
