Bella's eyes widened at their words, but she already knew that arguing or asking them any question is going to be of no use since in this pack, Damon's word is the law. Without saying anything she went back inside the room while closing the doors behind her. She slowly limped back towards the bed and sat down. Her eyes stared at her knees and her mind started going back to everything that had happened.
She had so many questions, so many confusions. But the only person who could hear and settle them was Damon who had refused to even show up in front of her. She would be lying if she said she was not worried about him. The face she had seen that day was of a wild, savage monster who did not give a damn about emotions or words. Damon's wolf was a Demon in its wild form. And just thinking about that day made her shudder. And then that feeling of dread? That deep, excruciating pain, anxiety?
She wondered if she had made a mistake by not stopping him when he had come inside the room last night. She had the chance, and she had his feelings in her palm along with his vulnerability. But this time, she wanted him to come to her on his own, and not because she or anyone else forced him to. She knew that because of his wolf's attack on her that day he was now filled with some extreme fear and nervousness. And he was trying to take control of them. But she knew that if this time she went to him, he would never learn the meaning of giving in and confiding in someone else.She wanted to be that someone else. She wanted to be the person that Damon looks for when he feels down, or exhausted or vulnerable. So Bella just kept waiting for him. Even though each hour felt like a century, she did not try to make any move. She ate when the food was sent into the room silently, without a fight.
Bella was too shocked by Alina's innocently spoken words that she even forgot to speak up and refute Alina's words. Damon's eyes shot to Bella with an furious glance. Alina walked over towards Bella and bent down, hugging her in an extremely delicate, and feather light embrace, "I hope you get better soon, Bella. I am heartbroken to see you like this."Bella's hands stayed down flat on each side of her on the bed, and she did not even try to hug Alina back. Alina seemed like an expert in faking things, while Bella could not do that even as a pretence. Alina pulled back, gave her a tender smile, and sauntered over to Damon. She put her hand on his arm with extremely concerned expression on her face, "Bella looks bad, doesn't she? There are even dark circles under her eyes. I wonder if she is still feeling pain."And with that, she walked
"Where have you been all these days?" she asked while trying to turn to face him, but his hand tightened around her, keeping her captive so she stayed with her back facing him."Don't turn around. I can not have you see me right now." he murmured and pulled her closer."I wanted to talk to you.""After what happened, I really did not think you would even want to see my face. I thought you would not want me even in the same room as you."Bella's hand clenched around his hand, grasping it tightly, "I am not going to lie. You had scared me pretty badly.""I know. I could not control him. I tried."Bella trembled at the anguish in his v
For a minute there was complete silence in the room. Alina was not blind, after all. She could see the compromising position that Damon and Bella were sitting in despite of the darkness in the room. And Bella could feel Alina's eyes on them. The burning gaze that she was too familiar with because of having the same one in her own eyes numerous times."You lied to me." Alina said in a flat tone. It was not a question."What are you doing here?" Damon asked without giving her any explanation and slid out of the bed, standing on his feet. His heavy build towered over the small frame of Alina intimidatingly."You are not going to explain to me about this? You said she did not mean anything to you."Damon stepped forward in Alina's space,
To Bella's surprise, Alina stayed silent. Damon had even stopped talking for a few minutes but Alina did not say a word. It was then Damon who spoke in a careless tone, "You can take away your daughter if you are worried about her to such extremes. I am sure I can easily find another girl to marry tomorrow.""Alpha." Alina gasped aloud.Her father remained silent. There was a pregnant pause in the air, like both of the alphas in the room were trying to somehow overpower the other one without actually confronting the situation."You begged me to marry your daughter so your pack can become stronger. Don't try to act like you are here because of being worried about Alina.""I OFFERED you to marry my da-"
There was a pause of a minute before Kayla said, "Say that again."This time her voice was not filled with sleep as it was a couple of second ago, instead she seemed fully awake."Kidnap me from Damon's pack. Hire someone or do it yourself or with your friends or whatever. Just get me out of here. Tomorrow!""Which mad dog bit you?" Kayla said extremely slowly, "were you vaccinated?""Kayla..." Bella's voice had turned desperate and worried, "I am being serious. Please.""He will kill me! And the kidnappers. AND YOU!""I just need to disappear for like, for three days for now. Then-""For now?!" Kayla shouted from the other side, making Bella wince from the sudden shrill through the phone, "what do you mean 'for now'? What about later? And WHY?""Can you not do it without knowing the reason?""A crime? Inviting a brutal death from the hands of the strongest alpha in the world? No, moron sibling of mine. Pardon me if I am
Damon had not returned from the meeting room. Bella did not know why, but she did not want to return to the meeting room to check up on them. It was possible that they had gotten the whiff of her scent while she had been there but avoided it thinking it was no big deal considering she was living here. But if she went back downstairs, and they came out of the room, her scent is going to be stronger and will alert them that she had heard their discussion. And then Damon will get angry, and then he will turn overly cautious and then the whole plan with Kayla will turn to a flop.As the first rays of sun hit the curtains, Bella blinked hard and turned towards the window on the bed. She had healed by now and there was no pain left. The scar will take a while to disappear but it was fine with her as long as she was still breathing fine without having to take a handful of medicines.
The day ended faster than she had prepared herself for and sun started setting. The light had started disappearing behind the trees that surrounded the whole pack while Bella became increasingly worried and full of doubts. The overthinking led to her feeling nauseated to the point of throwing up. She did not want Damon to get angry at her. She hated it when he got angry, but she did not have a choice than to follow the plan she had formed. She could not back out now in any case. She trusted Damon. She knew he will save her. But if the attack happened, how many people will he sacrifice just for keeping her alive?Bella nodded her head in determination with clenched teeth. Her eyes were stuck to the clock on the wall. Damon was surprisingly too busy to even have a moment with her. When he had stood up from the breakfast table, she had grabbed his hand and looked up at him expectantl
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
