To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. I was not shocked. I was freaked out of my damn mind. And I was so freaked out that I did not even struggle when his lips landed on mine. I stayed stock still like a statue as his lips captured mine in a deep kiss.
As soon as my head registered what had happened, I pushed at his chest with all the power in me to throw him off my body. Thankfully this time, my slightly stronger strength stayed with me and helped me.
After that damn kiss, I wanted to throw up. Because I felt weird. Super weird.
And it was not just an uncomfortable feeling or confusion or lack of desire. It was the pain that hit me so hard that it almost blinded me. Not only physical pain, but emotional as well as the feeling of betrayal.
And I knew what it was. Why I was feeling like I had committed the biggest sin possible for a living being on earth. My mate bond with Damon was the cause of this feeling. I could not get close to any ma
Damon's POV"What do you want to do next?" Roman asked me.I stared at him for about five seconds. Contemplating if what I was about to do was right or wrong. But this was it. I could not pretend that she did not matter anything to me. Especially not after what I had seen at the first day only."Have her followed." I ordered Roman. "Make sure that everywhere she goes, every step she takes, every breath that she takes is counted."Roman nodded his head without asking any question. He knew I had not given him the right to ask anything. He started to walk away. I called out his name again."And Roman," he turned around to face me while I continued,"Make sure that whoever you are appointing does not touch her in any circumstances nor does he know what she is to me."A small smirk formed on Roman's lips for some reason. But before I could rip him one he immediately went out of the room.Now the only thing I could d
Bella's POVI had barely spent my time learning anything at college. It was hard for me to do, considering how my two starting days of college had gone to crap.As soon as I had gotten home, my first instinct was to wash myself off with a thorough shower. And that was exactly what I did as soon as I got home. The memory of Jax's mouth on mine was still haunting me. It was now eleven p.m, I was laying in my bed, spread out, books completely covering the bed but my mind wandering far, far away to ponder about those green eyes. That is when a knock on my door interrupted me."Yeah?" I asked, wondering who it was.The door opened and Kaylie walked in, but not completely. She just leaned against the doorway while her eyes searched for something on my face."Wassup?" I inquired.She rarely came to my room except for when she needed something from me or if she wanted to strangle me for taking something of hers."Everything w
Damon's POVAfter my craftwork was etched into Jax's skin for a lifetime, I stood up and went away. The idiots that had come out of the club were now calling the Police. But right now, instead of getting into all this mess, I had more important things to do.Like, punish a special one.As soon as I was out of everybody's eyes, I turned into my wolf. My bones cracked as they broke into multiple pieces to take the form of my vicious black wolf.In the next second, I was rushing through the slaps of heavily icy wind. The winter was almost around the corner. It barely took me five minutes to cross the distance of five miles. My chest heaved heavily as I stood outside the guarded territory of a pack.Or should I even call it a territory?There were actually no guards to protect the territory of the weakest pack that I had come across till now from the information of address that I had received from my guard. 'Half Moon' pack. Thi
I stood there for a minute, trying to calm myself in a way that did not require smashing everything that came into my sight.But I did not think it was working.I stormed forward, and took a high jump to grab the windowsill of Bella's room. My hands kept my body afloat, dangling over the one story house. I did not want to make a sound.With nothing more than a whispering slither, I hitched my body up and entered her room through the window. I had expected her to be on alert. My scent should have made her aware of my arrival. She was a werewolf after all, her senses are far higher than a human, just like me.But what I saw was not what I had prepared for all along. There she was sleeping on the small bed, in her shorts and a loose t shirt, her legs tucked up to her tummy and hands beneath her head being used as a pillow.Vulnerable and innocent, that is how she slept.At first glance she looked like she had just dropped out of the sk
"What?" She asked as confusion filled her voice for a few minutes. And just as the realization hit her, she started to struggle harder to get out of my hold,"What the fuck is wrong with you!" She shouted, "How do you even know what happened at my college?"It was getting harder for me to control myself from pulling her underneath me and ravish her until she is left breathless and hungry for more. But for the time being the anger was simmering over my heart, heating and burning me with the thought of her being together with someone that is not me.I bent my mouth down to her ear and whispered,"I know a fuck lot about you, baby. More than you realize and more than you can even imagine."
This is what I wanted to hear from her. This longing, this confession, this desperate need to get as close as possible to each other, I wanted it all. But things would not be the same once she got to know about what kind of monster I was.So before she could get a chance to break me by leaving, before she could rip out my heart out with her words and leave me alone with a broken bond of fate, I am going to rip her away from me."I do not love you." I said to her with seriousness, "I can not accept you as my mate."Bella winced at my words like a physical blow had hit her. And I hated myself for it. I hated to see the hurt that filled her eyes and I hated the pain that filled her heart.I hid the agony that was flowing through me with a neutral, cold expression and continued speaking. Although her small frame was shaking softly into my arms, she did not try to escape them. It was the only thing that gave me the strength to utter the next words aloud,
A dark cloud of doubt covered my vision. Who was the man on the other side of the door that freaked Bella so much?She quickly grabbed her shirt and slipped it over her head, covering her body and tried to drag herself out of my arms while frantically wiping the tears off her face. Just as she tried to slip out I tightened my hold on her waist and penetrated her with an angry glare,"Who is outside your door this late?" I gritted angrily as her body struggled against my hold."For fucks sake keep quiet for a second!" Bella snapped in a whispering tone."Bella?!" The man outside the room called out again. Bella's restless gaze swung to the door.I growled as my wolf became frustrated
Bella's POV I could not believe what just happened. I was seriously trying so hard to understand the difference between anger, stubbornness and batshit crazy. When I did not have a mate, despite of my mind reminding me of my weaknesses over and over and over again, in a corner of my heart I had hope. A tiny ray of sunshine that whispered, don't worry. Your mate is going to be the most amazing thing that ever happens to you. It is going to be magical, beautiful, happy and erotic. Damon had broke my heart and literally pummeled it into the ground under his feet when he had refused to accept me as his mate. But after seeing the way he reacted to me, to my touch, to my existence, I wanted to give him a chance to think again, to try and piece together the puzzles in his
As he watched her, a burning desire ignited within him. He wanted to be the one to make her smile like that, to be the one to make her happy and content. The thought of her being with someone else filled him with a fierce longing that he couldn't ignore.But he knew he couldn't force her to choose him. He had to let her go and hope that in her next life, she would see him as more than just a friend. He longed for the chance to love her fully, to be with her in every way possible.Hunter opened his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. He knew he had to focus on the present and fulfill his duties as a celestial being. But he couldn't help the burning desire within him, the longing for Bella that consumed him.He stood up, feeling the cool night air on his face, and looked out over the pond. The moon goddess' magical aura surrounded him, and he felt a sense of peace wash over him. He closed his eyes again, focusing on his desire for Bella, letting it consum
HUNTERNicolaj walked slowly towards Hunter, taking in the magical surroundings of the moon goddess' place. The pond was surrounded by tall trees that seemed to glow under the moonlight, and the water's surface was so clear that it looked like a mirror. Hunter was sitting at the edge of the pond, staring into the water, lost in thought.As Nicolaj approached, he could smell the alcohol on Hunter's breath even from a distance. He shook his head, disappointed, but he knew that Hunter was going through a tough time."You're drunk," Nicolaj said, as he sat down next to him, “again. Ever since we have come back here, you haven’t been sober.”Hunter shrugged. "I needed something to forget about her. I thought getting drunk would help, but it's just making me talk about her more.""Bella?" Nicolaj asked, trying to keep his voice calm."Yes," Hunter said, looking down at his reflection in the water. "She chose Damon over me, a celestial being. Can you believe that?"Nicolaj raised an eyebrow.
Bella, who had entered the room in that very moment when Damon had snapped at Misha, moved quickly, taking Misha into her arms and soothing her with gentle words and loving touches. She knew that Damon was in a hurry and didn't mean to take it out on Misha, but he had scared Misha. Damon stood there, feeling like the worst father in the world. He tried to take her in his arms several times after that, not giving a damn about being hours late for the meeting but Misha would not let him pick her up at all. She started crying the moment he touched her. His little girl was upset with him. It was the worst feeling he had felt in his chest after Bella had left him. He could feel the tears welling up in his eyes as tried to coax her but she just didn’t allow him to even get near herself. “Don’t worry.” Bella put her palm on his cheek, assuring him softly, “she will get over it, baby. She must have gotten startled.” “She is angry with me.” Damon muttered, his heart aching painfully as he w
One Year After Damon and Bella Got MarriedAs the weeks passed by, Bella's pregnancy progressed smoothly, and Damon was more in love with her than ever before. He couldn't help but stare at her with admiration and desire, even as her belly grew larger with each passing day.One evening, as they were getting ready for bed, Damon pulled Bella close to him and whispered in her ear, "You look absolutely beautiful, my love."Bella blushed, feeling a surge of desire as Damon's hands trailed over her body. "Stop it," she giggled. "I feel like a beached whale."Damon shook his head, "You're glowing, Bella. Absolutely radiant. You make me feel like the luckiest man alive."Bella smiled, feeling her heart swell with love. "I'm so excited to meet our baby," she said, placing her hand on her belly.Damon leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her stomach. "Me too," he whispered. "But right now, I just want to focus on you. You're so beautiful, Bella. More beautiful than ever before."Bella blushed
I broke off into a blind run after slamming the doors open. I ran straight to the pack house, not even thinking that I was wearing nothing but a t shirt and underwear. I ran straight inside. Since it was noon, some people had already woken up but others were still asleep, tired from the party yesterday. I ran into Roman as I was about to climb up the stairs."What's wrong?" he asked the very second he saw the look on my face."Hunter and Nikolaj. Where are they?" Even though I was breathes from running, I managed to splutter out."Guest rooms. First floor, first two rooms." Roman said with a confused stare.I ran off immediately. I was hoping it was just a joke that Hunter played for which I can kill him with my own
"Hey! I did not even agree to that!" I jumped in."An hour." Damon shot at Hunter."Twenty four hours." Hunter retorted."Three hours.""Twenty four.""Six hours""Eighteen.""Twelve hours! That's the last. You take it or leave it." Damon snapped and wrapped his arms around me tightly with his head on my shoulder, like a kid afraid of giving his toy away to another kid to play.I and the others sitting around were controlling ourselves with very much strength to not burst into laughing fits.
My hand was on Damon's that was wrapped around my chest to keep me close to himself. The moment he said it, my hand dropped lifelessly."She is still the same innocent, saint girl who had left me behind." Damon continued, "she is still the same to me, no matter what she did. So I want her. And I want her every version. I don't fucking give a damn if she kills the entire world."He gripped my shoulders and turned me around to face himself. His eyes were capturing mine with focus and love, "I wanted to torture them for you. They took my everything by ruining you. I wanted my revenge. If I was as soft as you are, I would have killed them the very day that you disappeared, Bella."Believing the words he was saying was hard. Even more hard was the feeling that was tingl
I hesitated. I knew he had a crush on me. He loved me. I knew that. And to hurt his feelings, that was the last thing on earth that I ever want to do. I could not even nod my head in answer but I guess I did not need to. He looked at it and then met my eyes again, "I should be saying that I am happy for you but if you want me to be honest..." he stopped speaking. "It is alright." I cut him off softly, "I know I hurt you." The grimness on his face increased. I don't think he wanted to see me hurt. Even when one day I broke a very beautiful piece of glass showpiece that he always kept on the side table by his bed, the one that he cherished so much that if Nikolaj even tried to touch it Hunter would be up at his throat barking
Bella's POVI think I had never felt my soul leave my body until this very moment. Damon was not just good at sex. He was literally torturously great that it did not even leave a room for me to complain about. I mean, it was not like I could say to him 'you are just too good at making me cum, slow down'? It would just broaden that damn smirk on his face even more.After washing my hands, and tying my hair in a loose bun, I followed Damon out of the washroom hand in hand. He took us back to the seats, but I pulled at my hand. He noticed the slight pull, turned around to face me, "What's wrong?"I arched up on my toes to say the words in his ear, "I am going to go out for a minute. I need to breathe some fresh air."I
