There was a deafening silence in the room as I tried my best to process the new information.
I could feel Ruhee's eyes boring into my head, but I did not say a word.
Damien was a freaking prince.
And he did not even mention it. Forget it, he did not mention a lot of things and it was time for him to start speaking.
She cleared her throat to get my attention. I finally looked away from the blue wall.
"I am fine, I just need to have a word with Damien."
Her eyes widened, "You can not leave the room until the man is gone."
I smiled at her, "Don't worry, I know that."
A wave of relief passed from her face as she eased slightly, "Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
I shook my head in return, "Can you please tell me when he is gone?"
"Of course, I will go and check," she ran out of the room.
How did I end up here?
About 10 minutes passed with no sign of Ruhee or Damien. I had an urge t
There was no reason for me to feel the cold sharp needles whenever I saw Amber with Damien. But I couldn't ignore them, no matter how much I tried.Amber became the life of the house, nothing was silent whenever she was around, The silence of the breakfast was filled with her stories about what she did or something about Damien.Damien barely said anything but he would avoid looking at me whenever she was around and I could understand the reason. Amber was the most perfect girl I had seen in my life, whether it was her flawless tanned skin, her expensive clothes hugging her curves to enhance the beauty, her curly hair which seemed to be styled by her personal hairstylist."Silver, please don't put your elbows on the table," Silver acted like he did not hear the words and continued eating.I was done eating breakfast and needed some fresh air.The garden surrounded the three-story mansion, the small trees were given different shapes all
Over the course of time, I learned a few things about werewolves.They lived in packs and the pack had a leader called alpha, the second in command was called the beta, and the third gamma.There was not much information about the royals in any of the books. They did not interfere with the working of the packs but if two packs were having serious problems then the royals would take their decision and it would be the last decision.I needed to ask Ruhee for more books. She knew things but was reluctant about telling me any information that Damien might not like. Books were the loophole in this case.I stretched my arms and closed the book. The birds were chirping a melody together outside which put a smile on my lips instantly.Feeling bored, I decided to spend some time out in the garden. Ruhee was nowhere to be found and I was sure Amber had something to do with it. Amber might have asked her to do something and knowing Ruhee she could
"Don't ever try something like that again," his voice was void of any emotion as he stood near the door with his back facing me.I stood on the bed silently when something clicked inside my head."You knew!" I whispered but he heard it perfectly even from the distance.I was no longer sitting on the bed, "What kind of messed up game are you playing? You thought it would be fun to mock me in this way? I have said this before but let me repeat it again, I will run away from you one day and that's a promise, Damien."Everything happened too fast after I completed the sentence, one minute I was staring at the back of Damien's head, and the next minute I was pinned against the wall.His face was so close to me that I could feel his minty breath, "You can try to run but I will always catch you, you can try to hide but I will always find you. Get one thing clear, Nora, no matter what road you take it will always lead you to me."I licked my lips un
The reminder of the memory that I was trying so hard to forget was staring at me through the mirror.I ran my fingers on the bruise softly. The image played in my head one more time which I shook off and dabbed a thick layer of concealer on my neck aggressively.The feeling of betrayal was too much for me to leave the room and had dinner while staring at the face of that smirking devil.Ruhee put the dinner on the table when I was taking a shower. She respected my decision of not talking to her and I was glad about it.Breakfast was the same story as well. But staying inside the room was driving me insane.For the first time, I was alone without Ruhee following me like a shadow. I had a feeling the security was increased after my failed attempt to escape.I was too engrossed in looking at the paintings in the hallway that I didn't notice Amber until I bumped into her.She steadied me by holding both of my arms tightl
After searching every corner of the house I was finally standing in front of the forbidden mahogany door waiting for Damien to open it.Tapping my feet impatiently on the floor, I slammed my palm on the door one more time.There was no reply.Maybe he was not inside....or maybe he knew I was knocking.Slowly I opened the door while arguing with the small voice inside my head. I knew no one was allowed in his library or bedroom. But if I wanted to confront him, I would rather do that in the library.The minute I stepped inside I was sure my mouth was somewhere on the floor. The dark rows of bookshelves soared from the floor to the ceiling. The large window next to the huge desk was spreading natural light from the sun to the front part of the room. There was dim light illuminating the bookshelves. My hand was itching to get a hold of those books.The chandelier in the middle of the room was glowing faintly as it reflected th
The dead silence confirmed my theory.Damien was standing near his desk with his back facing me.I held my breath as I waited for him to say anything, without moving from the couch, "It is true," I whispered but the words were not meant for himThe words were meant for me to realize the reality, how my life had turned upside down."Get out," he said in a slow tone that caused me to shiver.I stood up from my position but did not leave the room instead I tried to poke the wolf, "Damien...""I said GET OUT!" he growled.Startled by the loud voice I ran outside without blinking.
I went to the dining hall silently without glancing in Damien's direction but I could feel his eyes following me like a hawk.Without acknowledging him I sat down in front of Silver, who was too busy with his food to pay attention towards anyone."Silver, at least chew your food," Amber's rich voice came, who was sitting next to Damien with a fruit bowl in front of her.Silver put a big bite of pancake in his mouth while looking at Amber with a mocking smile."Real mature of you."Silver's plate was nearly empty, he picked up a pea and threw it at Amber which hit her between the forehead earning a growl."Enough, both of you," Damien said lazily as he took a bite of his breakfast.Silver gave a short laugh as he stood up ready to leave giving me a wink.I gave him a smile in return.There was one empty seat between me and Amber but I could clearly see her hand moving upward on Damien's thigh slowly. She was l
"He said what?!" Silver paused the movie and turned to give his whole attention to me. I gave him an awkward smile, the one in which I tried to smile but it ended up looking like an uncomfortable excuse for a smile. "You don't understand," he paused, "Damien never apologizes. All these years I have been through so much trouble because of him but not even once has that man apologized." I shared everything with Silver. It was because of his motivation I confronted Damien, which did not turn out amazing but at least I was no longer throwing darts in the dark. "One sorry does not change anything." "If he is wrong you are not right either," Silver arched his perfectly shaped eyebrows. "Of course you are going to take your friend's side," I scoffed and sat more comfortably on my soft seat. "It is not about taking sides. I am not saying he is infallible, he has made some questionable decisions but you have to try to know
