Due to last night’s incident of him appearing in my room and that turning out to be a deception of my mind was making me outraged.“Dammit.”Cursing under my breath, I slammed my hand down, fuming with rage. Everyone could feel my wrath and didn’t dare to open their mouths.“What happened? You look awful.” Jax chuckled at my reaction but I was not in the mood of his games.“I couldn’t sleep last night.” I muttered, pushing my hair back from frustration.Stopping in my tracks, I rubbed my temples but I knew I couldn’t tell him or anything what I saw or what happened.I would be in deep trouble if I did that.“Couldn’t sleep? Why?” Jax asked in perplexity, tilting his head in confusion.“Was it for what I-” He was about to ask, worried if he hadn’t said anything wrong to steal my lull but then My Lord came with a few guards, smirking at me.“Must be because your beloved mate is in pain, right?” He taunted me. For the past few weeks, he was quite busy with the land’s affairs but God fo
DARIUS ALFONSO.After Athena left, I came out of the water, shaking my head in disappointment. Since she was considering all of it a deception, I was trying to not be attached to it.But I couldn’t resist the urge to do it either.Her words hurt, her actions were painful, the temptation blinded me and it was extremely hard to halt.After being soaked, I was sitting on top of the rock and the person who was helping me in all that came.“Don’t you think you are being cruel, Darius?” He asked with a sigh, coming closer, frowning at me.“Life is cruel, Jax.” I replied coldly, staring at my hands devoid of emotions. “She would be pissed if she realized that none of it is her imagination.” He told me the fact.Of course she would be and since it was an imagination, it felt beautiful. I could touch her, hold her and she failed to realize it was truly me.‘I am the secret she can’t hide after all.’“Sometimes imagination is better, if she knew I was truly there, she would lose herself, she m
ATHENA BECKER. “What is happening to me?” Whispering breathlessly with tears glistening in my eyes, I was pacing around my room at night. Why can’t I stop myself? Am I going to forgive him? Okay, I could forgive him for everything but killing our baby too? I had no idea what I should do or how to stop this state. “Fuck!” Yelling, I hit the wall and wiped my eyes to eradicate the tears and compose myself but control was slipping like sand from fingers. He can’t do this to me. He can’t… I won’t let him! The second I thought about it, he decided to enter my mind at the same time and came to my room, halting my breaths. “Do you think you could stop it?” His low, tempting tone echoed in my room. Shutting my eyes, I slammed my hand on the dressing table, gritting my teeth to eradicate those voices out of my head. “Shut up. Shut up.” “Do you think you can run away?” He came nearer, nearer, my heart began to pound rapidly to feel his presence behind me as I pressed my hand ove
DARIUS ALFONSO. Athena passed out due to exhaustion, she was sleeping as I sat beside her, holding her hand, making an apologetic face. “I am sorry, I am so sorry.” Whispering wholeheartedly, I kissed the back of her palm, mentally preparing myself for her outburst. I complied with Azure’s words. Athena was my destiny. I believed it. “But I cannot make my prayers go to waste. My everything is dependent on you at this point. If you ever could… do forgive me.” My broken tone came out, pressed her hand over my forehead, closing my eyes, not knowing when I might get the chance to feel it again. Before I could take the sensation of her warmth to my core, her hand was pulled away and a groan came. “Aagh…” Getting up quickly I stood before her as she woke up gradually, blinking and realizing what happened. “Athena-” Calling her softly, I was about to reach her side but she put her hand in between to stop me with a death-glare, indicating she was utterly furious. “Stop. Stop right
After being shattered and thrown out of her domain, my heavy steps, my ravaged heart, I walked out of her shades.My soul was throbbing badly, countless agonizing thoughts were rendering me unable to perceive anymore but my state couldn’t be fixed anymore.I fell. Horribly.With void eyes filling with tears, I was praying to walk where I would never return to her again and to enhance the anguish overwhelming me, King Hadrian came to mock me.“I told you, Darius, didn’t I? She would give you a scar you might not be able to recover from. Look at you now, how pathetic.” He jeered at me, stinging my scars. Closing my eyes, I stopped in my tracks, feeling my clench increasing at his comment.“Are you satisfied now? Is this what you wanted?”Becoming serious, his heavy and strong steps approached me steadily but I was too ravaged to notice him coming in front of me. “Look where life threw you. Is this what you prayed for? Is that what you desired? A fucking curse?” He growled, pushing me
ATHENA BECKER.“Goddammit!” Growling, I was on the bed, sitting where I threw him out of my domain. He shouldn’t have forced me and infuriated him, I took all my rage on him. “Fuck!” Cursing, tears blurred my vision. My body was shaking at our confrontation. I could clearly feel the depth of his pain stinging my core.I wanted all of that to stop. I didn’t want to feel his heartbreak. He and his ache could go to hell yet it was intoxicating me.His heart wasn’t the only one which broke- mine did too. “Damn you!”Snarling, I got up and began to pace around the room, holding my sides, releasing deep breaths to hold a proper conscience but to no avail.“Where was this love before when I needed it? When I begged for it? Now when we are mates, his affection suddenly woke up? Like hell I would let this happen.”Hissing under my breath, I grit my teeth, patting my chest to allow my lung to be filled with air as the air was suffocating me. It was becoming harsh to breathe, to relax and e
I thought working would help me divert my mind from these repeated nightmares rendering me unable to relax.With restlessness at my peak, I hoped to pay all my attention to my jobs so it could help but to no avail. My mind was all on him.His words, his tears, his pain, everything about him was worsening me.“Catch him!” Jax called, running after the rogue we were hunting down. Taking out my arrow, I jumped through the branches, aiming at the wolf’s leg.“On it!” We were ordered to capture him alive and then torture him for information.“Don’t kill him!” Jax yelled, taking the front to cover and stop him.“I know!” I was about to release the arrow and hurt his leg so he wouldn't run away but then the anguish I was running away from surged through my veins.‘I am in all your dreams, of revenge, of a happy life, of forever, I am always there.’But a pain shot through my chest, recalling his voice, distressing me beyond my ability to bear.“Aagh! Fuck!”Groaning in pain, my head began
“Leave. All of you. I want to talk to Athena ‘alone’.” My heart skipped a beat in dread, throat drying in apprehension as he rose from his seat when everyone left. “My Lord.” I whispered worriedly. Curling my hand in a fist, I could feel his heavy presence restricting my voice, frightening me with his serious look. “Athena.” Calling my hand temptingly, he was before me with his hands in his pockets, eyes scanning my body from top to bottom and then stopped at my eyes. “What do you have in you to be desired? What about you is compelling?” He breathed out in disappointment, baffling me. “I don’t understand.” He took another step closer as I took a step back, my hands were behind, I held my wrist in a firm grip to maintain my posture. “Exactly, you don’t.” He scoffed, rolling his eyes, hovering over me, displaying his overwhelming superiority for I had no idea why. ‘Did I mess up my job this badly?’ “You have nothing in you to attract anyone. A mindless, heartless hunter w
