All Chapters of His Bane: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As soon as Dario was out of view, all the strength in Marissa’s legs gave up. Her mind was boggled with confusion, questions, and the weird flutter in her heart. She sat right there on the fooor, staring into space trying to decipher the reason why her handsome captor just kissed her senseless. The butterflies in her stomach In her stomach still running wild. “Marissa, are you okay?”. Claire asks running towards Marissa’s room. “What happened? Your door is never opened and why are you sitting on the floor?”. Claire asks all at once and the fast talking and worried yelling made Marissa’s head spin a little. I mean she just got kissed by Dario. Of course her head was still spinning. “Your A-Alpha kissed me”. She said, stuttering as she told Claire what just happened. Claire eyes widened almost two times its original size at the words that just came of of Marissa’s mouth. “What?!”. She exclaimed as she ran to lock the door, excited to hear all about it, and also not wanting every

“Who would’ve thought the big bad Alpha Dario would be this clingy with his mate”. James asks in a playful tone. So excited to make fun of Dario who can’t even deny that he was being clingy.“I can’t focus James. They’ve been out for over an hour now. It’s not funny, what if something happened?”. Dario groans, pacing as he harshly drops the pen and paper in his hands, running a hand through his hair. Claire had convinced Marissa to choose the mall, which she did and immediately they left the gates, Dario had been complaining and pacing non-stop. He started from how Claire was too playful and may forget she’s with Marissa, to how Claire wasn’t a full warrior and could only defend if trouble happens, to how beautiful Marissa was and how thirsty men are. A chuckle escaped James as he shook his head, walking over to Dario and placing a hand on his shoulder squeezing a little. “I’m so glad you finally feel what we feel”. James said with a smile, remembering the time that they had to de

Dario had been observing the whirlwind that was right outside Marissa’s room as the guard had reported, and it was getting bigger but he didn’t have answers yet. At first, he brushed it off as a normal whirlwind even if he hadn’t seen one in the longest time but this one was so consistent in the same spot. “Alpha, you called”. James spoke, entering into Dario’s office in full beta mode. Apparently, Dario had instructed the guard to make sure to inform James that it was an emergency. “Top of the morning to you too James”. Dario replied, standing up to sit at the cushion beside James. He didn’t want anyone to be involved in this. Just he and the only person he trusted with his life. “There is a whirlwind at the back of Marissa’s window. The one facing the backyard, and it has been there for more than a week now. I disregarded it as a normal whirling but it has gotten stronger since Marissa left the room, and I think there’s a connection there”. He spoke in a hushed tone. The new

“What bad news?”. Dario asked back through the mindlink as he walks out of the dining room with haste, immediately forgetting his meal.There was only one thing he told James to look into and ‘bad news’ meant that it concerned his mate. “I’m on my way to you”. Dario replied through the mindlink, shifting into his wolf as he steps out of the door. He knew exactly where James was. “What bad news James?”. Dario asked in a tone of urgency as he reached the wooden shack, shifting back to his human form in a split second. His clothes still intact. “I found more of Marissa’s past as I was investigating on the source of the whirlwind. Her aunt is a witch. A very powerful one at that”. James said, showing Dario some papers, one of which showed an image of baby Marissa and the woman in question. One thing Dario recognized from the photo was the woman’s necklace. It was an old relic. One that even the elves possessed several years ago. That necklace could not be worn by just any creature

“Alpha hunted this for you”. A woman in an apron said to Marissa, holding a large tray of a dead bloody animal. The sight made Marissa squirm. It had been a while since she saw something so gore which made her feel like vomiting and so she ran to her new room, Dario’s room to throw up in the bathroom. However, as soon as she got turned the door knob in attempt to lock the door, she got the shock her life as the door locked itself. Before she could react, a hand was on her throat strangling the life out of her. She couldn’t see anything apart from the persons eyes as black was all the person wore from the head to toes. Marissa struggled and struggled but to no avail. After a short minute of struggling, she started to give up as she had lost all the strength she had. All the fight in her was gone.“This person is not ordinary”. She thought as she could literally feel her strength and everything in her draining.On realization that she was about to die, a tear fell from her eyes, an
