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
Demi’s pov I had to tell Bopha Everything excluding my former life. I just gave her a brief breakdown of what had happened and also excluded Anya's abusive nature towards me because I didn't want any problems. "This is unlike him." Her brows were furrowed as she leaned against the headboard with her hands behind her head, "Are you sure you are mates?" "Positive." I nodded remembering the sparks I felt and everything that had happened before and after that, "Why do you ask?" "His Majesty has always been enthusiastic about getting a mate so him acting strangely towards you is weird." Because it's me, I am the issue here, I am not worthy of being by his side or being Luna. And ever since that night, Harlyn had gone quiet as well. Each of us took time to reflect on how miserable we were and how no one wanted us. "You know what." Bopha got up from the bed and walked to the dressing mirror, her hand going over the table to find her hair clip, "We are going for a walk." "I am goo
Demi's pov"Are you alright sweetheart?"The blue-eyed stranger spoke, his voice gave a homely feel as he purposefully drew me closer with his arms, his eyes searching my entire being for any signs of hurt, "You look shaken."I only stared at him still in shock from the hit.“Are you alright?” His voice had gotten graver as he gazed upon my bad arm and the wounds I had on my fingers.I silently expressed gratitude at the fact that the other parts of my body were covered by the long gown with full sleeves that I had put on making it impossible to see the rest of my wounds.I had no words, my gaze went awkwardly to where his hands gripped and a flicker of realization flashed in his eyes. His fingers gently loosened unhanding me and I stepped back a bit giving him distance."I am sorry, you could have fallen if I hadn't held onto you." His words offered apologies and I watched as he stretched out his hand catching me off guard, his finger carefully brushed against my cheek touching a w
Demi’s pov"You are scaring her you dolt!" Dmitri snarled at him as well before casting a reassuring gaze at me, "Don't worry about him, Demi.""I should take my leave." I bowed silently and was about to move when I felt fingers around my arm again. It was Dmitri's, he pulled me closer with a gentle move and I saw the frown on Eros's face deepen like he didn't want him touching me.I think mate is jealous, Harlyn had hope laced in her voice.No, he isn't, I argued with her, He is just being silly!"Let go of her, Dmitri." Eros snapped in his direction and he looked like he was about to close the space between him and Dmitri to punch him, “Now!”"Why? She's not your mate is she?"I looked at Eros as we all heard Dmitri's words and this time Eros looked at me, his eyes holding mine and a flicker of hope grazed my mind hoping that he'd claim me as it was only reasonable that he would seeing that he was expressing signs of jealousy."No."That word was like a knife being driven in my hear
