Demi’s povThe moment my bare foot touched the grass, I felt like running. I could feel the cool night breeze against my skin and when I looked up to the sky, the moon shone in full glory, casting its rays across the earth.Go on, Harlyn urged.I began to walk, barefooted against the ground and I walked in the direction away from the castle even if I was tempted to go there but I couldn't risk being seen and I knew that my mate may or may not be in that direction.My insides turned at the thought of seeing him again and this time it could be him in human form, I couldn't stomach the rejection that would come, the disdain in his eyes when he would look at me and the desperation in me would disgust him.I ventured deeper into the wounds, the moon cast an ethereal glow across the grounds and the smell of fresh grass teased me.As I walked I could hear soft growls and grunts, I followed the sound moving closer, a scent teasing me sweeping me off my feet.It was him and against my wish, my
Demi's pov I angled myself deeper into the shrubs, my eyes trained on them with my heart drumming against its encase causing a frantic rhythm.Eros and Anya began to speak, I could notice a considerable distance between them as they stood with their backs against me, their conversation flowed around pack duties, and their body language was casual stating a relationship of duties and friendship but not desire.How sure can you be?I continued to watch them intently, listening attentively to what they were discussing so I could find out more about their relationship."Have you decided on what color of suit you should wear to the party?" I heard Anya say as she moved closer to him but Eros didn't flinch, he maintained his stiff composure, "I was thinking we should match."There was a pause and he said nothing for a moment."That isn't a bad idea." He stated in a gruff yet polite tone, "But why are we matching?""You are taking me as your date silly." She laughed and h
Demi’s pov I didn't stop running till I got to the place where we resided, I opened the door, got in, and ran into the bathroom immediately. I walked to the mirror and took a good look at myself.Don't do anything stupid Demi, Harlyn pleaded but I blocked her out focusing solely on myself.I felt stupid.I took a bath and put on a nice dress, I left the comfort of a bed when I had never had such privileges and went out to seek a man who thought I was a mere distraction.The tears fell rolling down my cheeks as I slid down on the bathroom floor with the pangs of another rejection hitting me. He didn't need to do it verbally or break the bond. His relationship with Anya and his calling me a nuisance was enough.I was stupid enough to believe that there'd be something else between me and him after Logan had shown me that I would never be wanted.I was ugly, broken, useless, and weak, there was no way a sane man would want me and I didn't even deserve the love I desperately seek.I jus
Demi's pov I wanted to change my mind about attending the party but I couldn't because that would make Bopha feel bad.I sat still, averting my gaze from the mirror and staring at my fingers as she brushed my hair, running the bristles down the strands with soft strokes.I had picked a simple flowy gown out of the ones that lined my wardrobes. I didn't know how they got there but I was glad I had more clothes.It had long sleeves and a high neck that covered my scars and flowed from the waist with fullness to cover how scrawny and imperfect I was.I had let her apply lipstick for me and powder my face a bit.I loved the look on it even though I felt weird because I was never exposed to such luxuries.When I had taken my bath earlier, I had scrubbed and scrubbed till my skin was almost red and my healing wounds had peeled but I didn't care.I just wanted not to stink .I wanted Eros to look my way.I needed to be wanted by him."All done." Bopha tapped my head and si
Demi’s povBopha had informed me that the party wouldn't take place inside the castle because it was an outdoor party.She rattled on about how much fun we would have but as we got close, the feelings of excitement sprouting in my belly due to her Ardor turned sore and there was suddenly a lump in my throat when I tried to swallow.I could hear the chatter as we stepped towards them, getting closer to the venue and I wanted to run off in the other direction.Breathe Demi, Harlyn tried to calm me, we are free from Logan, and even if it's hard to accept, this place better for us despite our mate not wanting us and people hating us.You are right, I agreed with her, we need to live once in a while right?Yes! Now go on and have fun. She cheered me on and I suddenly felt my anxiety disappear, I took in deep breaths to calm myself expecting to have fun as Harlyn said.___I wasn't having any fun. I wanted to leave because the moment I got here, Bopha was snatched from my side as they nee
Demi's pov Breathe One word, in one breath pronounced the huskiest yet most alluring male voice I had ever heard with sparks rising against my scalp as I felt fingers tips slower massage in soothing movements between the strands of my hair. I wanted to drown in the voice that overshadowed the terrible laugh but green eyes were replaced with blue eyes and those fingers on my scalp came to my neck squeezing tightly with a sneer leering in my face and a horrid laughter sounding yet again in my ear. I screamed out as my throat constricted from the harsh grip. Embers seared my skin as he forced me down on the scorching coals. "Please...I wouldn't do it again, I promise." Haris's screams harmonized with mine as I trashed against the hot coals kicking and fighting with every ounce of strength that I possessed. I could feel my chest tightening again, Intake of air became a draining chore and my fingers waved to clutched onto something for support that will pull me from the darkness
Demi’s pov There wasn't any word from him as he walked towards my bedroom, he walked in it with a sigh and gently laid me on the bed. I memorized the way he lifted my head laying it against the pillows, he held my gaze as he smoothed my hair out of my face and gently tucked it behind my ear. And then, he turned his head, a violent sneeze coming from him that made him step back. "Sorry." I murmured but he said nothing and I watched as he straightened up, not casting me a glance before turning to head for the door. "Eros." I called to him before he could reach the door and he turned his head, "Stay please." I donee my request was bold and it seemed to catch him off guard as I recognized the hesitation in his eyes. My gaze wandered to his hands planted my his side, fingers balled into fists like he was restraining himself from something internally. I laid there watching him hoping that he wouldn't refuse. I had him here now, he was with me and this is the first proper interaction
Demi's pov I had a friend when I was younger, way younger than this before my early teens and he was the most heart warming person I had met then. He had golden hair that reminded me of the sun and pretty blue eyes. His smile was nice and soft making me safe as he had looked at me with kindness back then and kindness was all I had wished for while I tried not to be the weird kid of the pack. While other kids bullied me, he did the opposite and cared for me. My parents Were still alive then and even if we were still omegas and looked down upon, life was better because they loved me and I loved them as well. The kid and I had met back then when his pack came visiting and he had left his parents to come to play with me while the other kids gave him weird looks about why he would associate with the dirty omega. He never cared and didn't pay attention to their words. He only intensified hanging out with me more throughout the week that they stayed. He told me stories about the
