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
Anya's povSatisfaction hit me when I tied her up helplessly, more of it filled me when my mother and I scattered the clothes and broken pieces of wood around the house and when we littered the floor with gasoline, when I poured it over her and littered outside around the house in a neat trail with it.I was filled with glee the moment I lit the match stick, the way the singular trail of fire spread and burst into flames engulfing the sitting room. There was laughter when we both vanished into the environs and lit it on fire as well.And I could smell victory when I masked the burning scent with magic, it would last an hour and a half and by then no one who comes along to save her would be able to.I had it all calculated.Bopha her stupid friend who was a freak as well was away with Elara and her stupid fat brother. They went to get ice cream and would take a while as it was some sort of fair outside our territory and I know they would love the boy to enjoy himself which meant them
Eros's povI raced back, planting my feet on the ground firmly before leaping and slamming my body against the door for the fourth time and it gave way, bringing me down with it and crashing into leaping flames.Find her! Raphael barked as I drew my shirt over my nose and waved away the smoke with my hand, she's deep inside. I followed his direction trying to navigate my way through the smoke and fire. The atmosphere smelled bad, it was nauseating but I needed to find my mate and not let my weakness affect me.I could feel the smoke clouding up my lungs and clogging my nostrils as I struggled hard to breathe. My breath intake was tainted and smoke clung to my eyes making it teary and I found it hard to see.The whole place was in shambles, I barely dodged a beam of fire as it fell almost on top of me. I got on my hands and knees and began to crawl my way through.Going through the smoke and flames trying to smell her but to no avail. Raphael was getting affected as I was and I was
Demi's pov The whip cracked against my bare back, an excruciating pain cascaded through me.I pressed my lips close forcing back the agonizing whimper from the burning sensation on my palms and knees. The heat from the hot coals I was atop burned my skin as Nina repeatedly brought the whip down on me, bruising my back greater than it was already.I couldn't cry out for help nor could I show any sign of pain as it would increase my punishment and you might wonder what punishment could be worse than this. A punishment worse than this would be seeing my baby brother in this exact position as I am because I defied their orders.And currently I could hear his cries as he screamed, rolling on the ground in attempts to get to me but he was being held back by the guards who were busy laughing at his misery.Demi, I am sorry, He mindlinked me and I looked up to make eye contact with him. A tear slid from my eye down my cheek as I could see the regret in his eyes as bro
Demi's pov I had the coffee ready as soon as I could and all the while I was at it, I couldn't help but shudder all through as I could feel the anger radiating from him through the flicker of bond we shared. I took the coffee to his office, steadying my trembling hands as I knocked, and the moment I heard him grunt for me to come in. I wrapped my fingers around the door handle, twisted it, and gently pushed at the door letting myself in before closing it behind me. I stood there for a moment watching him, transfixed at how amazing he looked. He had blonde hair that was thick and lush with dark eyes that always had me captivated even if he only ever showed anger through them towards me all the time. His head was bent over the table and he was looking at some papers and I swallowed hard at the thought of if he had accepted me. I would have been bringing him coffee and he would welcome me with a warm smile. He would hug me like he does with Nina and drop kisse
Demi's pov My broken wrists were healing while Harris's health was ailing and I had nothing more to do than to cry which is what I have done over the past years. Cry, cry, and cry again without thinking of a solution to my issues and there was no solution in sight even if I tried to think.I couldn't run away, where would I run to? Neither could I work to gain money for his health, where would I work? I was a designated slave here.I was a mere pack slave, a weak omega who went through the same process of torture every day of her life while trying to fend for her brother and I feared dearly that this is what things would be like for us for the rest of our lives.I winced as the blisters on my palms ached when I held onto the brush to scrub the grounds, they burned with a fiery intensity that heightened my pain.My heart wasn't where I was at the moment, it was where Haris was in our room and I wondered and worried about his condition since I wasn't there to check
Demi's povI didn't hear right.I was sure I didn't hear right.My hand ached to pull out a chair and drop myself on it while I let my mind wander around their words but instead, I stood because the option of taking a seat was out of it and I wasn't given a chance to think about the words before another bomb dropped."You are leaving tomorrow," Logan added reaching out his hand to grab his drink. He took a sip from it before speaking further, "And you are leaving Haris behind.""No." My voice came out frail even when I intended it deeper and firmer, "I can't do that.""Do what?" The other man who I still didn't know his identify spoke, "Leave your brother behind?""I meant killing the Alpha." I stated firmly sharpening my gaze at them, "I don't know what is going on here or what this is about and I am very confused.""You don't need to know." Logan glared at me, "Just do as you are told.""I ca-""Demi!!" Logan growled getting up from his seat, quick long strides brought him towards m
