He started licking the place of her mark with his tongue, making her shudder. Aereza felt his other palm cupping her bare core. In pure panic, Aereza looked around for something to save herself from him. Her eyes caught a lamp stand which was placed on a table beside the bed. Stretching her hand, she grabbed that lamp stand and when she felt his canines grazing against her skin, she hitted the back of his head with that lamp stand as hard as she could. She heard him loudly growling in pain and it ached something inside her. That same foreign sensation which started emerging deep from her inside after hearing his painful growl but no, all of this was wrong. She could not let him harm her like that. Aereza again hitted him with that lamp stand with even more ferocity this time and on that same exact place on his head. He slightly pulled back and looked into her glossy eyes. Blood started dripping from all over his head and fell on her face. Aereza noticed his glowering orbs got fill
"So, we met again….." his deep pitched voice reverberated. Her jaw clenched whereas her fist tightened. She loathed the very existence of this monster and that was the only truth. All these years she was living her life with the sole purpose of taking his life with no mercy, just like she had seen her sister getting brutally raped and dying just because of him and those irrational thoughts which had started consuming her after she hurted him, they were immoral and utterly wrong and she was never going to let them win over that sole truth that…she hated him.Darren roamed his eyes all over her and his wolf growled in anger inside his head by finding his mate chained there like that. Her state displeased his wolf. Thunder loathed witnessing his mate in that condition, even after knowing how badly she had tried to hurt him.A malicious grin crept on his face as his feet made their way inside and closer to her. "But, it looks like, my presence didn't please you, like always," His words
Aereza felt his lips slowly devouring her mouth, like he was trying to save every moment of it. This time his actions felt extremely tender and gentle unlike before. His mouth alluringly caressed her lips, making that unknown sensation to again start awakening inside her. Aereza felt like something inside her purred in pleasure when he started wiping his warm tongue all over her mouth. Her heart shuddered in ecstasy but that little remaining sanity inside her head was telling her to push him away. That this was utterly wrong, no matter how good and right it was feeling. Clutching his shoulders, she tried to push him away but this time, even her force felt reluctant to her own self, like she had lost her strength to even push him away from her or maybe, she had lost her desire to part their shipping bodies. When Darren felt her reluctant attempts to push him away, his wolf purred in joy because even Thunder could feel his mate was now resisting her thoughts of pushing him away from h
After reaching that crowd of guards and maids, Aereza witnessed a little boy crying who was looking at an age of not more than 5 or 6. He was holding a sharp knife in his little palms and blood was dripping from the edge of that knife which made Aereza aghast. Who was he and what was happening there? "Ellais, please drop that knife," one of the maids requested that little boy whose name was Ellais. Aereza watched that kid vigorously shaking his head and he teared up more. "No, Ellais killed L...Lily. Ellais h….hurted her," that little boy stammered. Aereza noticed something abnormal in that child's behaviour. He did not look or sound like a normal child. "Ellais, you didn't hurt her. It's not your mistake. Please drop that knife," another maid requested. They looked horrified and everyone else extremely tensed as the kid was pointing the knife towards his own navel and was crying harder and harder. He was not letting anyone go near him. "NO….." the kid screamed out of his lungs as
Their eyes met for a while. Aereza noticed something flashing in his gaze but before she could comprehend it, he turned around and walked away from there without saying anything. She had expected him to say something but he didn't and his silence confirmed that he had heard her words for him. Good for him because he needed to know the consequences of touching her without her consent but then why was it bothering her so much that he had left in complete silence? Exhaling a heavy sigh, Aereza turned around and found Viviana still there, staring at her. "I don't know whether I should feel pity for you that even after knowing what exactly you are to him, you are neglecting him," her words held a taunt which angered Aereza, especially the fact that he had told her everything regarding her being his mate."You know how many women and girls just ache to get his attention in this castle and even outside it but just look at you….""Maybe that must be the reason he is aching for my attention,
Aereza watched him standing there in front of her. Like always, his eyes were all over on her. What is he doing here so early in the morning? Shouldn't he be with his so-called royal and precious personal Courtesan Lady Viviana? Just at the thought of them being together for any reason boiled her blood in anger but at the same time, it winched her soul in pain but Aereza decided to numb those foreign emotions of hers and behaved like nothing had changed when in reality, she could feel a lot of things had terrifyingly changed and were still changing.Exhaling a soft breath, she was about to lift her feet up to leave but stopped when she saw his steps striding towards her direction. Maintaining their eye contact, he started reducing the distance between their bodies and it successfully angered her even more.Darren had just reached her when she attempted to walk past him but he didn't let her to. He held her arm and stopped her from taking a single step away from him. Her feet halted wh
"Won't you kiss Darren, A..Aeza?" Aereza froze at her place, hearing that little boy's question who was staring at her with his doe eyes which were filled with nothing except innocence. For him, his words were innocuous just as he was but only if she could tell that little boy that it was everything but innocent for his dear Alpha Darren because when Aereza tilted her head to look at him, she found a sinister teasing igniting in those amber eyes of his after he heard little Ellais's asking that innocent question to her. Aereza sent him a glare secretly because she knew he was more than enjoying it. "Aeza…." Aereza heard that little kid who was now pulling on her nightgown with his tiny hand to gain her attention. She looked down at him and found him staring at her with his curiosity filled eyes. "Will you k…kiss Darren like you give kisses to Ellais and Lily?" He asked her in his adorably soft tone. Not just him, even his tiny kitten, Lily, was also staring at her, like she was ev
"Aah ……" a soft moan escaped from her mouth as soon as she felt his middle finger penetrating her slit. Her entire body winched in pain. Tears gathered into her eyes because that was the first time she had felt something getting peered inside her and it was painful. Hearing her hiss, he pressed his thumb against her pelvis and gently started rotating it in a circular motion, soothing her pain. Aereza dug her nails in his shoulder. She had never expected to feel someone like him, especially him. Her body was aching to pull him closer and closer.Darren slowly and carefully moved his finger inside her while devouring her mouth but then he noticed she had still not kissed him back. She had not pushed him away but he had not reciprocated either. He slightly pulled back and looked into her glossy grey eyes which were already on him. He could clearly see her still fighting that battle of hate and love but he blurred that thin line of good and right for her by pressing his lips against her
