Demi's povIt was a beautiful dream.A beautiful dream of freedom.I felt softness around me, the enchanting smell of fresh flowers teasing my nostrils, a contrast to the odor I was accustomed to. I could feel warmth and a hint of slight discomfort from something that was stuck in my arm but it wasn't a big deal.I slowly forced my eyelids open, wanting to catch a glimpse of my environment and my gaze was rewarded with pure white ceilings with carefully illustrated designs that were drawn out in flower patterns beckoning my fingers to trace their outlines and marvel at the art work.When looked to the side, I could see the sunlight streaming through the large window, its warm rays illuminating the room and creating an inviting atmosphere, and my gaze extended to the lush view of a castle on sight.It was gigantic, its walls and towers standing tall and Magnificent peeking from within the greenery surrounding it.I looked back to the room, the incandescent space with walls painted of
Demi’s povI felt the person's presence by my bedside, humming to herself.I could feel the line connected to my arm being moved and then she proceeded to check my other vitals."Oh, I know you are awake." She whispered sounding so soft yet audible. She released the line from my hand and brought it down, "Rest well dear, you will be back on your feet in no time."She kept the arm gently and soon I heard retreating steps and the door being closed.After waiting a while to be sure that she was gone, I opened my eyes and carefully let myself down, my feet touched the soft plush rug creating a soothing feel to the skin and a contented sigh left my lips.I stood firmly, marking my balance before going over to where Haris lay and my eyes softened when I looked at him.I couldn't remember him being this peaceful in his sleep, his breathing was normal, his face looked calm and he looked like he had enough to eat these past few days as evidence for my thoughts, I could see his hand with his fi
Demi's pov After, the cruel she-wolf who I was yet to know what name she went by took her leave. I stayed on the floor, my head buried between my knees with tears rolling down my cheeks at the thought of me being a problem to my mate.I stink.Months without a proper wash, being injected with different potions to weaken me, poor living conditions, no food or rotten food, and terrible punishments all contributed to my bad smell which will definitely take a long while to wash off if I could ever wash the stench off.I was ugly.The scars were there and evident on every part of me, marking my face, back, hands, and entire body creating a hideous look to my being.I was weak.I didnt have my wolf, I was twenty-two and I hadn't Shifted. My wolf was only present in my head which led to people calling me a wild loony.I could feel Haris's hand on me as I cried, his small palm rubbing my back in attempt to soothe me, "It's okay sis, it's not your fault." I smiled through my tea
Demi’s povAfter waiting a long while, the door to my room creaked open and the woman came in giving me an opportunity to look at her for the first time.She offered me a smile, one that matched her dazzling angelic face. Her hair was white, pulled back and tied in a bun. Her blue eyes twinkled when her smile widened and she walked over to where Haris was."Oh, my little cutie is asleep already." She rubbed her hand over his head, "Sleep well dear."She sounded like a fairy godmother and her presence eased me."I am Elara And how are you doing today dear?" Her attention was turned to me as she got closer to my bedside, "I know your hand was hurt, do you mind telling me all about it?"In as much as I found her calming, I cowered away in fear as she brought her hand out to touch my forehead and she dropped it to her side, a sad look on her face."You know I have a daughter your age." She began to speak in her sweet soft tone, "Sweet girl she is, just like you are. But she's away for her
Demi's pov Elara's words had sparked a flicker of hope in my mind and I found myself grabbing the bag and heading out to find the bathroom with the prepared bath.I entered one of the rooms and my nostrils picked up the scents of lavenders leading me to the bathroom and when I opened it I saw the most luxurious bath I had ever had the opportunity to lay eyes upon.I hurriedly stripped out of my patient clothes.I wore the cover she had talked about over my arm wincing at the dull ache before sliding into the bathtub, a contended smile came across my lips and I sighed as soon as the warmth of the water grazed my skin and the scent of lavender drowned my nostrils."This is divine," I muttered using my fingers to play with the bubbles that formed on the water then I reached out to the washcloth so I could clean myself.I had difficulty wiping myself because of my arm but I still managed to do it.I scrubbed my hair, and my face, and dragged the clothes across my armpit
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
