The Beast's Bride: surrendering to the beast within chapter 20: He is alive
The door creaked open, revealing a figure silhouetted against the dim light of the hallway. Sofia’s breath hitched, her fingers clutching the edge of the desk as Damien stepped in front of her, his dagger gleaming in the low light. “Who the hell are you?” Damien growled, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that sent shivers down Sofia’s spine. The figure stepped into the room, and Sofia’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was Jake. But... how? His body was never found, but she had assumed... Jake, his face pale and drawn but his eyes gleaming with a chilling intensity, let out a low chuckle. "well isn't it cozy ,Long time no see, Sofia." Damien’s grip on the dagger tightened, his body tensing as he moved to shield Sofia once more. "You’re dead," Damien snarled, his voice low and deadly. "How…?” Jake smirked, his gaze flicking between them, a cruel amusement in his eyes. "Let’s just say I have a knack for survival." He took a step forward, his eyes narrowing. "And I’v

The room was a blur of motion as Damien and Jake collided with the force of a storm, their bodies crashing into furniture and sending shards of wood flying through the air. Sofia stumbled back, clutching the dagger tightly in her hand, her chest heaving as she watched the two men exchange savage blows. Damien’s movements were fluid, almost predatory, every strike calculated and precise. Jake, on the other hand, fought with a reckless abandon, his desperation evident in the wild swings of his fists.Sofia’s heart raced, her mind spinning as she tried to make sense of the chaos unfolding before her. This can’t be happening, not again, she thought, her breath catching in her throat. She took a step forward, the dagger trembling in her grip, but before she could intervene, Damien grabbed her arm and pulled her close.“Stay back,” he growled, his voice low and commanding. His eyes were dark, almost feral, as they locked onto hers. “This is between me and him.”Sofia opened her mouth to pro

Sofia gasped, her body jerking in surprise as the crash echoed through the room. Damien’s arms tightened around her, his body instinctively shielding hers as they both turned toward the sound. The door had been kicked open, splintered wood hanging from the frame, and for a moment, the only sound was the heavy breathing of two people caught in the heat of the moment.Damien’s face was a storm of emotions—anger, protectiveness, and something deeper, something Sofia couldn’t quite place. His eyes, dark and intense, flicked to her, and she saw it then: the raw truth he had been hiding. The truth that had been simmering beneath the surface, just waiting for the right moment to spill over.“Stay behind me,” Damien growled, his voice low and commanding. He stepped in front of her, his broad shoulders blocking her from whatever—or whoever—had just barged in. But Sofia wasn’t one to be told what to do. She moved to his side, her hand instinctively reaching for the dagger she had discarded earl

The door crashed open, splintering into pieces as a group of intruders stormed into the room. Their eyes glinted with malice, weapons drawn and pointed directly at Sofia and Damien. "oh fuck, why can't I have a passionate night with my wife" he said with anger on his face The air thickened with tension, the kind that promised violence. Sofia’s grip tightened on the dagger, her knuckles whitening as she stepped closer to Damien’s broad back. “What do we do?” she whispered again, her voice trembling just enough for him to hear. Damien didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he moved with a predatory grace, his body shifting slightly as if preparing to strike. His gaze never left the intruders, but his hand reached back, finding Sofia’s waist and pulling her closer. Stay with me, the gesture seemed to say. One of the intruders stepped forward, a sneer twisting his face. “Hand her over, Blackwood. This doesn’t have to get messy.” Damien’s lips curled into a cold, humorless smile. “Oh,

Damien’s POV The heavy silence of the penthouse shattered under the weight of my voice. “Gather around. Now.” My command was sharp, unwavering. Within seconds, the pack assembled in the living room, their eyes flickering with concern. The air was thick with tension, the weight of recent events pressing down on all of us. Sofia stood beside me, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable—but her eyes burned with a quiet fury. I could feel it radiating from her, her anger barely contained beneath the surface. I let my gaze sweep over the group, ensuring I had their full attention. “Listen carefully,” I began, my voice steady but edged with steel. “Jake has been watching us—stalking us—more than we ever realized. This penthouse isn’t safe anymore. Intruders are getting bolder. We’ve had too many close calls to brush this off as coincidence.” Murmurs of concern rippled through the pack. They knew I wasn’t exaggerating. A younger werewolf, Ethan, stepped forward, his brows furrowed. “W

The night was still, the fire casting flickering shadows along the walls as Sofia lay against Damien’s bare chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His fingers traced slow circles on her back, his warmth wrapping around her like a promise—solid, unbreakable.For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no danger, no looming threats. Just them.“You asked me when I first knew I was a wolf,” Damien murmured, his voice low, intimate. “Do you really want to know?”Sofia lifted her head, resting her chin against his chest. “Yes. Tell me everything.”Damien exhaled, staring at the ceiling as if looking back through time. “I was thirteen when I shifted for the first time. My father always knew what I was, but he never told me. He wanted me to find out on my own—to feel the power before I understood it.”His fingers trailed up her spine, his touch making her shiver.“I remember the exact moment it happened,” he continued. “I was angry—so angry. My father pushed me t

The room was quiet, the fire reduced to glowing embers. Sofia lay against Damien’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His fingers lazily traced along her spine, his touch warm and familiar.After a long moment of silence, Damien finally spoke.“When did it happen?” His voice was low, thoughtful.Sofia tilted her head up, meeting his golden gaze. “When did what happen?”“When you fell for me.” His lips curved slightly, but there was a hint of something deeper in his expression—curiosity, maybe even disbelief. “I thought you only came to me for a contract.”She smiled, running her fingers over his jaw. “So did I.”Damien raised a brow. “And yet, here you are.”Sofia let out a soft laugh. “I think it started after our first time together.” She bit her lip, considering. “But honestly? From the moment you touched me, I felt… safe. Like I was home.”His fingers stilled against her skin. “Home?”She nodded. “It didn’t make sense at the time. You were supposed to be tempo

Damien sat on the edge of the bed, watching Sofia as she stretched across the mattress, scrolling through her phone. He studied her, the way her lips curled slightly in concentration, the way the firelight flickered across her skin. “So,” he said, breaking the silence, “where do you want to go for our first date?” Sofia glanced up, surprised. “You’re actually letting me choose?” Damien smirked. “I did promise to give you whatever you wanted.” She sat up, thinking for a moment before answering. “A park.” His brow lifted. “A park?” Damien leaned back on his hands, considering. “If that’s what you want, then that’s what we’ll do.” Sofia’s face lit up, excitement flashing in her eyes. “Really? No complaints?” He smirked. “I have no reason to complain. As long as you’re happy.” She grinned. “Good answer.” Damien tilted his head. “So, what exactly do people do at the park?” Sofia let out a dramatic gasp. “You’ve never been to a park?” “I have,” he said, amused. “I

(Sofia’s POV)The excitement from seeing my culinary shop lasted the entire day.I ran my fingers over the polished countertops, admired the perfect kitchen layout, and even tested the state-of-the-art equipment. Every detail was exactly how I’d dreamed it.Damien had built this for me.For hours, I couldn’t stop smiling.And Damien?He watched me the entire time.His golden eyes followed my every move, filled with something deep, something unreadable.By evening, we returned to the penthouse, my heart still racing with excitement.I turned to Damien, grabbing his hands. “I still can’t believe you did this.”His smirk was lazy, confident. “Believe it, sweetheart. It’s yours.”I bit my lip. “You really think I can run it?”He cupped my cheek, tilting my chin up. “I don’t think. I know.”Warmth bloomed in my chest.I pressed a soft kiss to his jaw. “Thank you, Damien.”His grip tightened slightly. “You never have to thank me.”He kissed me, slow and deliberate, like he was sealing a pro
The Beast's Bride: surrendering to the beast within Chapter 58
(Sofia’s POV)I woke up to an empty bed.Damien’s side was cold, like he’d been up for hours.It wasn’t unusual—he was always up before me. But something about today felt different.His mood had shifted overnight. He’d been distant. Watching me too closely. Like he was waiting for something to happen.I sighed, stretching before sliding out of bed. The second I stepped into the hallway, the scent of fresh coffee and something sweet filled the air.I blinked. Damien doesn’t cook.Curious, I followed the scent to the dining area.And then I froze.Sitting on the table was an envelope with my name written in Damien’s sharp handwriting. Beside it, a set of keys.I frowned, picking up the letter."Meet me outside. I have something for you."My heart skipped.What was he up to now?---Fifteen minutes later, I stepped outside, finding Damien leaning against his car, waiting.His golden eyes locked onto me instantly.He smirked. “Took you long enough.”I crossed my arms. “What’s going on?”H

(Sofia’s POV)“I think I just remembered something.”The words spilled from my lips before I could stop them.Damien stood in the doorway, his golden eyes sharp, unreadable.I barely noticed.Because for the first time in forever, I had a piece of my past—something real.“I saw my mother,” I whispered, my heart racing. “She looked exactly like her… like the mother I lost.”Damien’s body tensed.I reached for his arm, my excitement bubbling over. “Isn’t that amazing? I’ve been trying to remember for so long, and now—”“It’s just a dream.”The sharpness in his voice made me blink.I frowned. “No, Damien. It felt real.”He exhaled, stepping past me into the room. “Dreams feel real all the time, sweetheart. But they’re not. It’s best if you ignore it.”I shook my head. “No. This was different.”He ran a hand through his hair, looking anywhere but at me.Something was wrong.“I know it was real,” I pressed. “You don’t understand how much this means to me! I finally have a piece of—”“Sofia

(Damien’s POV)Ethan returned with nothing.“I searched everywhere,” he said, frustration heavy in his voice. “No one has seen the old woman. It’s like she never existed.”I clenched my jaw, barely stopping myself from breaking something.She came to us. Spoke about a curse, about death, then vanished like a ghost.None of it made sense.Jaxon exhaled. “What now?”I didn’t answer.Because if she wouldn’t come to us, then I would force her to appear.---I locked myself in the library, pacing.The scent of old parchment and leather filled the air, but I couldn’t focus. Books were useless. The woman had answers, and I needed them.Now.A cold gust of air swept through the room.I turned sharply—And there she was.Standing in the dim light, wrapped in heavy robes, her eyes unreadable.The old woman.I bared my teeth. “You’ve been hiding.”She didn’t flinch. “I appear only when necessary.”I stepped forward, rage curling in my chest. “What ritual are you talking about? We’ve already done

(Damien’s POV)I barely slept.The old woman’s words haunted me, looping in my mind like a cruel whisper."One of you must die."I wanted to dismiss it, to pretend it was just some sick trick, but my instincts told me otherwise. Something about her felt ancient. Absolute.And I couldn’t ignore it.Not when Sofia’s life was on the line.I spent the night sitting on the edge of the bed, watching her sleep. Her face was peaceful, unaware of the weight crushing my chest.She didn’t know that I was fighting against something I didn’t understand.Something that wanted to take her from me.But I wouldn’t let it.I wouldn’t lose her.---The next morning, Sofia stretched lazily before turning to me. “Why do you look like you wrestled with death in your sleep?”I forced a smirk. “You were hogging the covers again.”She rolled her eyes. “Liar.” Then her face softened. “You didn’t sleep, did you?”I exhaled and ran a hand through my hair. “Too much on my mind.”She frowned. “Is it about work?”I

(Damien’s POV)The drive back to the penthouse was quiet, but my mind was anything but.Sofia sat in the passenger seat, gazing out the window. She hadn’t spoken much since I found her. I could still feel her hesitation, the slight stiffness in her posture. She wasn’t ready to forgive me for forcing her to return.I wasn’t ready to let her go.My hand rested on her thigh, grounding her—grounding myself. She didn’t push me away.That was enough for now.When we arrived at the penthouse, something felt off.The scent of my Beta filled the air, thick with urgency.Sofia didn’t seem to notice, too tired to care. “I need a bath,” she muttered, moving toward the stairs.I caught her wrist gently. “Go ahead. I’ll join you soon.”She frowned but didn’t question it. Instead, she nodded and disappeared into the bedroom.The moment she was gone, I turned to find Beta standing near the entrance of the living room, waiting.His face was set in a hard line. “We need to talk.”I exhaled, rubbing a h
The Beast's Bride: surrendering to the beast within chapter 53

She found herself alone and lost in a new city, unsure of where to turn.That's when Damien found her. refusing to let her go He had been obsessed with her since the moment they met, and there was no way he was going to let her slip through his fingers now. He tracked her down to a rundown hostel on the outskirts of town and refused to leave her side.Sofia was hesitant at first, but there was something about Damien that she couldn't resist. Maybe it was his rugged good looks, or the way he made her feel wanted and desired. Whatever it was, she found herself drawn to him, unable to resist the pull of his magnetic personality.One thing led to another, and before they knew it, they were tearing each other's clothes off in a frenzy of passion. Sofia had never felt this way before, so alive and free. She let out a moan as D
The Beast's Bride: surrendering to the beast within Chapter 52
(Sofia’s POV) The city swallowed me whole. I weaved through the crowds, keeping my hood low, my steps quick but not rushed. Panic would draw attention. And right now, attention was the last thing I needed. Damien was looking for me. I could feel it. The weight of his presence pressed against my chest like a tether pulling me back. Even with blocks between us, even with no one chasing me down yet, I knew. He was coming. But I wasn’t ready to be found. I slipped into a small coffee shop on the edge of town, picking the furthest seat in the back. From here, I could see the door, watch who came in, make sure no one was following me. The barista took my order without much interest, sliding me a steaming cup before turning back to the register. I exhaled, wrapping my fingers around the warmth, letting myself breathe. I needed a plan. I needed somewhere he wouldn’t think to look. But where the hell could I go? Damien knew me. He knew my habits, my favorite places,
The Beast's Bride: surrendering to the beast within Chapter 51
(Sofia’s POV)Damien promised to let me in—to stop shutting me out.Then he broke that promise.Again.I should’ve seen it coming. Damien Blackwood doesn’t know how to share control. He’s possessive, obsessive, and infuriatingly overprotective. The worst part? I love him for it.But love doesn’t mean blind obedience.It doesn’t mean I’ll sit back while he makes every decision.Yet, that’s exactly what he did.Again.The argument started as a discussion. I pushed him for more answers, demanded to know what he planned to do about The Broker.He avoided the question.Then he refused to tell me anything.When I kept pressing—when I reminded him that I deserved to know—he looked me in the eyes and said, “Stay out of it, Sofia.”Like I’m some fragile thing.Like I’m not part of this.Like I’m not his mate.I snapped.The words flew b
