"Are you still confused, and do I need to refresh your memory further?" Selena asked.As Emberlynn said nothing, Selena stepped forward."You helped me to execute the perfect revenge, and you really did a great job in capturing your family murderer," Selena said, then snapped her finger again.Emberlynn's head snapped backward, and her eyes widened. Then she gasped, clasping her head as it pounded. A groan escaped her as a splitting headache erupted in it, and she bit her lower lip hard enough for it to draw blood. (FLASHBACK) "Run, they're here!" A scream so loud it almost split Emberlynn's head open.She gasped, stumbling.People running slammed into her, causing her to groan.Emberlynn turned around to see Selena. "Why do I feel pain? This isn't real, is it?""It isn't, but since it's your past, you'll feel all the pain afresh," she said.Emberlynn turned around again as she heard a voice that sounded awfully like her mother.White waist-length hair, with big blue eyes that widen
She was a witch. The thought ran through Damien's head over again as he stared at Emberlynn. He couldn't believe it. The stupid witch was definitely lying, but with all the things she had shown him, he didn't think it was a lie.Emberlynn was a witch. His mate was his fucking enemy and part of the cause of his misery.He had been living with the enemy, eating and even fucking her.Damien gritted his teeth as he stared at her again. Now he understood the reason he could feel her wolf. She wasn't really a werewolf. Her scent was weak, and she hadn't even shifted in his presence.He had been tempted to ask but never did and assumed she was a late bloomer.The question she had asked earlier reverberated in his head: why did he kill her mother?She was looking at him, perhaps expecting an answer. It was not as if he owed her any explanation, but he still answered anyway."I need to do it because your race had vwne prophesied to cause the extinction of werewolves."Damien added, "They neede
FuckDamien hissed, glaring at where Selena had been in. He sniffled the air, but he didn't smell her. It felt as though she was never with them in the first place.Also, as soon as she vanished, all the skeletons had gone with her, which relieved Damien. He wondered how they'd be able to fight it. Even though the Elders would indeed try their best, they had barely been able to take down Selena, much less her creations."Find her, no matter where she is in. In the air and wherever, find her and bring her to me," Damien ordered."Yes, sir," Leo stated and walked towards the rest of Deltas.Damien turned to the Elders, "Do whatever you can do to bring the bitch to me." after all she'd done, he couldn't let her escape in that manner.Was he ignoring her? Emberlynn wondered. She had watched everything happen with wide eyes, from Selena chanting spells to her disappearing. Emberlynn doubted they would be able to find her, no matter how hard they tried.And Damien had walked past her as tho
BOOK TWOWhile he saw the Darkness in her beauty, She saw the Beauty in his darkness. Once again, she had been Rejected by the man she had endlessly loved, one she had helped revive his curse.She was marked as an enemy, and her death was ordered. When her head was about to be cut off, someone appeared and claimed her as his Fated Mate. After being betrayed by the Man she loved, She wanted to discover herself and get to know her supposed new Mate. Who is the villain, and who is her Hero? The man who once loved her yet ordered her death, Or the man who saved her from getting beheaded yet full of secrets and a mystery of his own?Emberlynn Evergreen was sure someone was watching Her, But Who?No matter how long she screamed and pounded on Leo's back to be put down, he didn't budge. Instead, he continued to stride towards the darkest part of the prison.The place she never saw herself to be in. Emberlynn swallowed hard; her eyes widened as she gazed around."Can you walk?" she nodded,
Damien paced around the room. He halted briefly, shoved his hand into his hair, tugged on it as hard as he could, and resumed pacing once more.Shit!How could she do that to him? She was a fucking witch. She must have been laughing behind him and mocking him for not knowing who she really was.Did she come to him purposely to destroy him? Definitely.She had thought of how to destroy him. He wondered if Selena hadn't come how he would have known.Somehow he was grateful to Selena for revealing who she truly was, and at the same time, he was pissed.Damien's hands clenched by his side, his eyes narrowed, and a growl escaped him as a knock sounded on the door.Striding towards it, he opened the door and glared at Roy, who stood there.Pain etched on his face, and he gripped his side. He wasn't bleeding any more. Perhaps his healing had decided to kick in, as it looked somewhat awful earlier."What do you want?" Damien grunted.Roy raised a brow, "I almost died." he pointed out and cont
Damien dragged himself out of bed, clutching his pounding head. He groaned and staggered, kicking the scattered liquor bottle on the floor before striding towards the bathroom as the first urge to vomit surged through him.He reached the toilet in time to empty the contents of his stomach into it, and he gripped the toilet lid, groaning."Fuck, that little bitch," he grimaced, smacking his lips as the bitter taste from the vomit was still evident.He brushed a hand through his hair before walking to the sink; opening the faucet, he placed his hands under it and let out a sigh as the coolness of the water seeped through him.Damien was barely drunk. He could drink as many bottles as he desired, but he had passed his limit yesterday. He couldn't stop thinking about her. Even though he had willed himself many times not to, his thoughts kept returning to her.He loved her. He fucking loved Emberlynn Evergreen. All the things Roy said were correct.She wasn't cruel; in fact, she was the mo
Emberlynn continued to be tugged outside forcefully. She knew Roy and Leo didn't mean to, but it was because she was reluctant to follow them. So, the only thing they could do was drag her.She shuddered, clasping her hands over her ears."Leave me alone," Emberlynn whispered as countless screams and pleas echoed through her."He killed us. He's cruel. And he's going to kill you without mercy. You loved him, my foot!"They were the words Emberlynn heard in her head and even more."You have the powers. Incinerate the old fool in a youngster's body. Kill him and make him grovel before you for all the humiliation he's caused you." the voices snarled.Emberlynn shook her head. "I said, leave me alone.""You are just as weak as your mother!""A stupid whore who couldn't kill your father and now beings like him killed her, and they are going to do the same to you!"She shuddered, her eyes narrowed, and a growl escaped her. "I said leave me the fuck alone!"Emberlynn fell to her knees, tears
Second Chance, mate? Damien snorted, a glare on his face, "You are kidding. She's not your mate.""She is," Lucian stated, still standing behind Emberlynn.Second Chance, mate? That was the last thing Emberlynn could have thought of. She had prayed to be saved, but the goddess had brought her a second chance mate.Emberlynn's heart thumped, and she continued to stare at the stranger.Her heart soared with happiness, and she felt a strange sensation enveloping her at his nearness.He turned towards her, a smile adoring his face.Shit, he was too handsome, and she couldn't even look away from him.Damien growled, brushing his palms on his pants, and stalked towards where Lucian, or whatever he called himself, was.He didn't like his nearness around Emberlynn, and the fact that she wasn't screaming for help angered him.As Damien approached, Lucian stepped back, now by Emberlynn's side. She was still on her knees.Damien grasped the chain that was holding her down and tugged at it, pulli
