Eros's povSomething is wrong, Raphael echoed the moment we drove through the thickets traveling back to our territory, something is wrong with our Bambi...I was on alert the moment he stated his last sentence.I sat upright in the car and sharpened my senses, and then I could feel it through the frail mate bond we shared.Something was wrong and it wasn't at the castle.I picked up my phone and called Anya immediately and after the first ring, she picked up like she was waiting for me to call."Eros, you called?""When last have you seen Bambi-I mean Demi? When last did you see her?”"I didn't want to bother you with the news...""What news?" I asked abruptly my heart was already beating faster than it should and I pulled anxiously at the knot of my tie."I told you, she's trouble and she's not good for you E." She began to ramble, "That girl-""Speak up!""She ran away with her brother.."I didn't wait to hear what else it was that she had to say. I put the call to an end and mindl
Eros's povBrown That's the colour my world has been filled with ever since I stumbled upon her in the forest, brown hair with gorgeous strands that gleamed against the sunlight when she stood in the fields playing with her brother and sometimes hanging out with Bopha or Dmitri.Brown eyes that sparkled when she and Elara joked with Bopha, when her Brother, Haris climbed her back and wrapped his hands around her neck. They sparkled when with Dmitri too, it enraged me so much knowing I wanted to be like that for her.I wanted her eyes to sparkle for me.I wanted her to smile when she saw me, the smile that reached her eyes that made those browns gleam, my Bambi.I was proud of her being capable of her happiness despite the tales of pain her appearance has shown that she went through and despite what she had gone through here as well, especially with my treatment of her.My parents were going to kill me if they should find out, and the rest of my family would have my head knowing what
Anya's povI couldn't control the rage surging within me, the tips of my fingers itched with the need to grab and break something. My claws threatened to come out ready to claw at that beastly girl's ugly face and rip at her neck ending her for good.I grabbed the flower vase on the table and swung my arm throwing it against the wall, wincing at the satisfying sound of ceramics crashing against the wall and the broken pieces falling. "Argh!" I kicked at the seat screaming with my fingers pulling at my hair, "That disgusting wench!"My plan failed, it had failed woefully and Eros wouldn't even look at me.I had put everything in place to make sure that she's wiped off the surface of the earth.She and that miserable pig she calls her brother but the stupid rogues I hired just had mess it all up and let Eros pick on them.They weren't even supposed to be back this early!"Ugh! Damn them! And damn that stinky bitch! And damn Eros for not looking my way!" I screamed scratching at my ha
Demi's povMy soul's resilience was something that had begun to irritate me by now.It’s will to live contrasted with my will to die and that combination wasn't supposed to belong in one body. I had never been so irritated opening my eyes expecting to see the pearly gates of the heavens only to see white ceilings.I had already imagined what type of gowns I wished to wear and what to eat. I had envisioned playing with Haris, seeing my parents, and finally saying bye to earth but you could imagine my disappointment being hit with the regular smell of antiseptic, the view of white ceilings hitting me, and the realization that I didn't die.I lived without recollection of what I had gone through to get here.I only remember saying bye to my friends and taking Haris's hand and from then on everything from black.I had wished for death and not fragments of my memory to be removed.I turned a bit to my side, wincing at the pain spanning across my back and my gaze fell on the bed next to m
Demi's povI got discharged the next morning and I was filled with relief as I couldn't sleep the night before after the visit from Anya and her mother. I knew there was every possibility that they could storm into the outside house as well but that would take a while as they would want to lay low to cover their tracks.And now I was on my way back with my brother, Bopha and Elara."Why are we stopping?" I said to Bopha and Elara when we suddenly halted before the door, "Aren't we going in?""You might want to go in alone.." Bopha muttered holding on to Haris's hand, "I will take him for ice cream.""And I will drop the supplies before you go in.” Elara added entering as well and I could only guess that maybe Dmitri was in there preparing something special as he loved grand gestures.I stood outside patiently with a smile on my face, while rubbing my fingers together and when Elara got out, she signaled at me to go in and quietly followed Bopha and Haris when we bade goodbyes.I too
Demi's povI twirled around in the field, the wind swept gently at the hem of my white gown and I loved the way the rays of the sun warmed my skin. I laughed seeing that I had both of my hands and my skin was pure and unblemished.Am I in heaven?I could hear birds chirping, they flew above my head, all of them of different colors with cute halos above their heads and I guessed I would call them halo birds.They flew in a certain direction, their songs calling out to follow them and I did, spreading my arms out and chasing them as fast as I could running and laughing.They stopped at a certain place in the field with a beautiful bush crowned with red flowers and before my eyes, the bush parted revealing the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen. It was a beautiful red wolf with sparkling brown eyes.I felt connected to her in that instant and she walked towards me gently as I bent a bit to her level and reached out to stroke her soft red fur. She purred at my touch, "You are so beautif
Demi's povIt was Anya and Her mother standing outside the door with fake bright smiles on their faces and I wondered if they had nothing better to do than pick on me.Anya wore a bright red dress and she looked gorgeous with her straight hair and lovely face. Little wonder that Eros chose her over me, I didn't look like that. No amount of makeovers or surgeries would ever make me look like that.I was just plain, ugly, and handicapped.Her mother was a beautiful older version of her and she was dressed in bright colours and in her hand was a big bag that didn't match her outfit."What do you want here?!"They never answered my question but instead pushed past me and maneuvered their way into the house leaving me at the door.I closed it without protesting and walked up to meet them wondering what they had in mind and how this meeting would end."Oh look at all these mother." Anya huffed walking to the table and she drew out a seat, taking it, "Who would put so much work in to please
Demi's povNo! please don't! These would be my words if I could speak at the moment. I would cry out and beg them not to do this but I could only watch as they went on with their motive.Anya put the match box back in her pockets and went forward to the front door. She placed a chair under the door knob and broke other chairs littering the wood everywhere and as she did, she poured a new can of gasoline over them.The bag they had brought in houses all these.They followed with littering my torn clothes over everywhere, from the sitting room to the bedroom, kitchen, and other rooms and this they intended would make the fire spread faster.I couldn't stop them when they dragged me on the chair and into the bathroom. "And even if someone was to get to the house to save you, you will be long gone before they find you here." Anya's mother smiled, "You can say your last words, oops! I forgot cat got your tongue." she laughed as she exited leaving just Anya and I."Let me see you get ou
Demi's pov I couldn't remember falling asleep in Eros's arms, I had awoken to see his arms woven around me, his magnificent scent enveloping me and his eyelids shut signifying that he too was deep asleep. Soft snores were coming from him and I stayed still for a moment admiring his lovely, beautiful features wondering how on earth I was lucky to be mated to him. I watched him for a while, smiling at his sleeping form before slowly easing myself from his hold so I could slide away from his side and get down from the bed. I could feel my eyes swollen from all the crying, there was a light ache in the right part of my head and my throat was dry. I walked to Haris's room to check up on him. My brother was fast asleep and I patted his head for a while before going out and moving towards the sitting room. Ever since the bomb had been dropped on me, I hadn't had time to think clearly neither had Harlyn and I had enough time to think now but one thing I was certain of was that there
Demi's pov I must have passed out. One moment my breathing level was elevating more than normal, my chest felt constricted and I was pulled into darkness and the next, my eyes had snapped open catching the view of a worried Eros and Elara above me. They muttered words at me but I didn't hear as my mind went back to the news of me being a cursed red wolf. Harlyn should have been orange, pink, black even, anything but a cursed red wolf and now I believed I was on the verge of entering a worse version of my life than I had ever encountered. I had been hated for being a weak omega and now I was a strong red wolf, a mass weapon of destruction. "You should sit up." Eros moved behind me and his hands came to my back, "Easy." He whispered when he began to help me lift, "Elara, water please." She was gone as soon as he ordered and came back with a glass of clear liquid, my throat itched in anticipation at the sight, and I opened my mouth eagerly when Eros got the glass and brought it to
Demi's pov One moment I was sitting on the bed thinking about how to open up to Eros about my past, the next I was in wolf form with balls of fire coming from Harlyn's paws setting the mattress and its covers ablaze. My wolf's screams came out in low whines while she struggled with so much difficulty to move from the spot, she had laid there limp with glossy eyes as the fire increased. Eros had come in the nick of time, leaping through the fire and grabbing Harlyn, taking her to the ground, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and calming the flames on the mattress soon he was done but the damage was much and by the time he turned around, Harlyn had disappeared shifting me back to my human form leaving me in sweaty nakedness and with hot palms. While I tried to shield myself from my mate's gaze, he grabbed a blanket, throwing it around me and I nestled in his arms as he picked me up and made my way for the bathroom, he unrolled me from the blanket and dumped me into the full bath with wa
Eros's pov I had made a silent vow to myself after my Bambi asked about my condition and the vow was never to keep things from her again. It wasn't even up to four hours of making that vow and I was on the verge of breaking it. Trouble was lurking in our horizons and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. That trouble would be her. While she bonded with Haris, I bade them goodbye and slid out of the room, my foot steps directing me towards an enclosed part of the garden where Elara awaited me. I didn't ever think this was possible, there would be an uproar from the wolves council, the packs, and the entire werewolf kingdom. My influence and neither would that of my parents or sister would be enough to save her unless I pushed to defy all odds. Why did she have to be a red wolf? Not that I hated it, it wasn't just the right moment to be a red wolf and certainly not for her. I ran my fingers through my hair, squeezing my hand and feeling my sweaty palms that hinted at anxiety, I
Demi's povEros didn't look pleased.He said not a word to me when he cloaked me in a blanket and picked me up, a grunt came from him when he mounted his horse and I mentioned not knowing he had horses.There wasn't a word from him when I told him he smelt nice, he only spoke to Elara while she checked up on me to make sure I had no internal injuries from the forced shifting and then he Instructed the doctor that he needed full medical conduct to be done on me with the results submitted to him like the last time.When I mentioned about not knowing that he had my medical results, he didn't even look in my direction and I began to feel bad, the hurt growing deep within me.Even when he picked me up to take me to the room, his room, he said nothing and I watched without word as he entered the room and he walked to the bed dropping me silently on it.My eyes followed him as he took steps to the windows and quietly drew the curtains apart, he opened the windows and turned, walking towards
Anya's pov I wasn't surprised when Eros slammed the door in my face before I even got my words out but that didn't deter me as I stood by the door, curving my knuckles and rapting softly against the wood. "Your majesty." I tried to soften and sweeten my voice, increasing the knocks, "I just want to see how you are doing." He didn't reply and after standing there for a while, I decided to leave. I knew it would take some time for him to soften up to me, I just needed to be sweeter with him, dot on him, and show him that I am what he truly wants. Besides, when he gets the news of his mate's disappearance and death, he will surely need a shoulder to cry on and I, Anya, would be here to console him while warming my way into his heart. I would mend his broken heart and soothe his soul, he wouldn't even remember that Freak, and I would be sure to tell him that if she cared about him, she would've stayed instead of running off for no reason. And he surely wouldn't know that she ran
Demi's pov The first time I ever ran away was out of "seeking safety " for I hoped for a better place for my brother and me. The second time I ran was out of uncertainty cause my new second chance mate looked like he had the prospects of being just like the first but the runaway wasn't successful at all. And the third time, the third time is now and why am I running this time? I am running out of fear, fear of the fact that I would ruin the lives of the people I care about the most. Firstly, Haris has never been in good condition due to my inability to provide any, I couldn't do anything about his illness or his well-being. Secondly, my mate, my darling king, the one whose gaze makes me shy away in delight and I am happy to be near which I can't do for my presence worsens his condition and ability to rule, indirectly making me a threat to the kingdom. It was like being allergic to nuts and always being around nuts and eating them , you would die. This time, Eros was allergic a
Eros's pov I had a dream. It was more like a lovely dream that evolved into a nightmare and I couldn't be more glad that I had woken up from sleep, tearing myself from the illusion of that dream. I had never been one to attach meaning to dreams but this nightmare was exceptional. Demi and I were in it, together on a field enjoying the bright skies and soothing spring breeze but that was all shattered when the earth beneath us began to crack, all attempts to stick together were to no avail as the ground separated pulling us to opposite sides with a huge ditch between us and then before my very eyes, a huge mammoth bird descended, gripping her with its claws and flying away with it leaving me no room to save my mate. I woke up with a banging headache, my head felt like it was being split into two and my eyes ached with moisture clouding them. I could feel my nasals getting congested again and my whole being getting weaker. It was only one reason, in as much as the mate bond with
Anya's pov Victory! Finally! Victory! I placed my head against the headboard, my finger in my mouth, teeth biting delicately at my neatly manicured nail as I cackled in my head at the look on Demi's face when I finally broke her beyond repair by telling her that she was her mate's weakness. Of course, the goody too shoes were shattered and she looked like she had given up, it would only be a matter of time before she caved in and ran off, a time I hoped would be tonight as I had cleared the coasts, giving the guards breaks on specific hours so if she did decide to run off, she would do it with ease. "We should do this some other time." The words came from the man lying half-naked by my side, "You know how good you are w-" "Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes at the mere pack guard, "You are just a cheap man slut, get the hell out of my room before I pop your head off for insinuating that you want to lay again with your future Luna!" The scared man jumped off the bed at my response, an
