Attraction

“I’m sorry”. Dario whispered, sounding as broken as his heart felt, hugging her tighter. Dexter had been whimpering nonstop.“I’m sorry”. He repeated again, like the first one didn’t suffice. He just felt everything so intensely at this point, and as foreign as these feelings were, he embraced them.All those years he yearned for his better half, for a partner, his mate had been struggling and suffering so much. The thought brought another whimper from Dexter. Dario buried his face in the crook of her neck, basking in her scent as it calmed him down but also wanted to provide comfort to her, however, her scent drove him mad. She felt so perfect in his arms, and oh her scent.His head began to spin from the effect of her scent and being this close to her was not helping matters. He knew this was the worse time to think about anything like this but he couldn’t help himself. He wanted to kiss her, to touch her everywhere, he wanted his mark on her.The image of her in an intimate p

Butterflies and pain

His Bane/Deji_B

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

Tears and Promises

His Bane/Deji_B

The hiccups and cries of Marissa could be heard all through the hallway even as quiet as she tried to be. For the first time in a very long time, she cried out. Mourning herself and the life she had.‘So, my destiny is to be in captivity all my life?’. She asked herself as the hot tears ran down her cheeks, curling into a ball still on the floor.Her life was so unfair. ‘The one chance I have at love happened to be with a monster. Not just that but with a monster that will keep me locked up forever’. She thought to herself as she cried and cried, crying her heart out.It started from crying about being imprisoned, to crying about the abandonment by her family, to being sold by her aunt, to all the torture she endured all those years. ‘I have never done anything to harm anyone. Nothing! Why this grave fate?’ She asked herself as the tears rolled down nonstop. “Marissa”. Claire called, knocking on the door, but got no answer. Claire panicked knowing fully well that her extremist brot

Clingy Dario

His Bane/Deji_B

“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

“Marissa, wait”. Dario called out as she immediately ran in, heading for her room with tears fighting to roll down. She was so pissed. “I’m sorry. Please just hear me out”. He calls after her, grabbing her arm as he gets close to her which she yanks off. The exchange, already gathering stares and whispers. Still fuming, she ran into her room, closing the door behind her. She didn’t even understand why she was so angry. It’s not like she already trusted him yet but one part of her desperately wanted him to keep his words, and he didn’t.Dario had followed them for about 30 minutes when Claire caught a whiff of his scent and looked in the direction it came from. . The sudden turn alerted Marissa as it was too fast and obvious that something was up. Tracing Claire’s eyes, Marissa was looking straight at a man with sunglasses and a newspaper blocking his face. However, this man had dark hair, was wearing a shirt that Marissa saw this morning, and the scar running along the man’s

The Duel

His Bane/Deji_B

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

Tickle Monster Dario

His Bane/Deji_B

Claire’s heart thumped so hard in her chest as she watched Marissa fearlessly enter the circle of duel. “She’s one beautiful and brave human, I’ll give her that”. Kali said to Claire who just glared at her, and looked away. Focusing on every move Marissa made. Claire’s plan was to step in once the fight started, but Kali could guess that which was why she came to stand beside her. This annoyed Claire to no end. The fight started with a whistle, and on the sound of the whistle, the warrior Marissa was dueling with, immediately landed a blow to her face that caused her stumble all the way to the line of the circleThe rules of the duel were: No killingThe first one out of the circle is automatically the loser.Whoever yields lost.Her falling to the line of the circle caused some ‘ooos’ and ’aaas’. At this point, it wasn’t just the warriors, and Claire watching, but a crowd had gathered just right outside the training ground to watch. Many rooted for the warrior but some few ro

“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

The Trap

His Bane/Deji_B

Dario had finally discovered traces of witchcraft and some elven magic, which had him on his toes as elves were the creatures he detested the most, and knowing that there was a possibility of them still existing annoyed him to no end. From the whirlwind investigation, he had been seeing some strange things like floating objects, unnecessary thunder and lightning, and strange insects around the house. He was now sure that indeed there was either a witch or an elf, hovering around or close to the pack house. “James, you’re in charge for two days. I need to go on a little trip”. Dario states as he walks around, grabbing the things he needed for his ‘little trip’. His plan was to make the creature reveal itself and if there was anyone that could do that, it was him. Before the war, he grew up with elves and witches. Whenever they played hide and seek the elves and witches always loose because they could be summoned with three easy steps, whether they wanted to or not. The only reaso

The Shoe Drop

His Bane/Deji_B

“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
