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
My eyes went back and forth between Damon and the stormy haired man in confusion. I was trying to understand what was happening. What people had Damon revealed himself too?One thing I knew for sure was that it was strictly forbidden for us to reveal ourselves to the people outside our world, i.e. humans. And Damon breaking that rule was a HUGE deal.Damon's jaw clenched tight in anger. I had expected for him to lash out or freak out in anger but there was no apparent change in him. Most of all, he looked frustrated."How much time do we have, Roman?" Damon grumbled while throwing the towel down on the dark wood dresser with a life size mirror."They are already here, alpha." Roman grimly replied. His face clearly implied he was not h
"This is the girl?""Why is she here?""What is she doing here?""The end is here."Numerous voices were doing a pretty bad job at whispering in a low tone while trying to slip back, far away from me like I was contagious."What the fuck is wrong with all of you?!" Damon blasted in anger as his burning eyes raked everyone in the room with disdain, "What the hell are you talking about."Some other pack alphas nodded in Damon's direction, like they were also unaware of pack alphas were talking or acting about."You committed a grave mistake by inviting us here, Damon." Alpha Peter se
"Anyone has got anything else to say?" Damon smiled as his face returned back to human but the yellow fire burning underneath his gaze remained the same, ready to take anyone under its heat if they made a move.The room was deathly quiet. Except for the sounds of harsh breathing, and ticking sound of the wall hanging watch, the room was pin-drop silent.I wiped the blood dripping down from my nose to my mouth with the back of my hand as I struggled to breathe. I was terrified. I did not know what to say, what to do except for to sit idle and not make a move to ignite the anger burning through Damon's veins towards me."THIS MEETING IS FUCKING OVER! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY TERRITORY EACH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS RIGHT NOW!" Damon roared without caring about any respect or fear for anyth
Minutes passed, probably hours. Bella slowly started to calm down. The fear inside her chest started to dull. Damon held her close, keeping her in his arms, not doing anything, not saying anything, he just held her close.Once Bella was sure that she was not going to freak out and run, she started to straighten and get off his lap. His arms tightened, refusing to let her get away."Damon." Bella murmured softly, "I am okay."His eyes dropped low to come upon her. The monster inside him had retracted, now only Damon's human part was there and honestly, she was kind of relieved, she did not think she would ever have been able to face his wolf right now."You ran, I am going to kill you." Damon said with utmost sincerity.
Bella woke up to find herself tangled in the sheet, alone. She was in the clothes that she had slept in the previous night. Disappointment filled her instantly even when she did not want to. Damon's scent was all around her, in the sheet and in the room as well. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she slipped out of the bed. Awkwardly she peeked in towards the bathroom, but it was unlocked and open, which meant Damon had already left the room.She went inside and washed her face. She did not have a toothbrush so she had to just rinse her mouth with water to get rid of the nasty morning breath. She walked out of the room, still in her shorts and the crop top. At home, she did not feel weird in those clothes. But at an unknown place like this, she could not help but feel self-conscious.The whole house was silent. The house was big b
Damon brought Bella to a different room than last night. It was just a three doors away from Damon's, but she was thankful for the distance. She was surely not prepared to be in the near distance with him. He already affected her too much.This one had the cream shade on walls and interior, giving it the softest vibe possible. Her eyes scanned the room and came to rest upon the open closet. There were clothes hanging in there."You brought new clothes for me?" Bella whispered, staring agape at the line of the dresses and jeans hanging inside the big closet."Don't be stupid," Damon gritted nonchalantly, turning away from her and looking around the room, "You are nothing special to me. Why would I buy new clothes for you. These are some used ones from the pack members donations but stil
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
