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
As soon as they left, Damien strode towards the main building, and he stepped into his room with Roy behind him.He walked to the table, grabbed the bottle of bourbon, uncapped it, and took a big gulp.Grimacing, a scowl etched on his face, he flung the half-empty bottle in his hand towards the door, which opened almost immediately."Shit," Roy exclaimed, dodging the bottle that came hurling towards him. His eyes widened, and he looked at Damien."Are you alright, Alpha?" he asked."Of course not!" Damien growled; he shoved his hands into his hair and tugged. Then he turned to Roy, "How can I fucking be alright?""Is this about the Luna?" Roy questioned."She's not my fucking Luna!" he hissed."Fine, but it's about her, is it not?" he asked again."How can she leave me to follow a total stranger she doesn't even know? I mean, she literally just met him today, and she fucking lied to my face that she's mated to him. Shit, I feel like hitting his face!" Damien said.Roy was surprised as
Night fell quickly, and they were yet to reach their destination; instead, Lucian stopped by a large tree and shifted back into his human form while Emberlynn watched him with piqued interest.Unlike others she had seen shifting and ripping their clothes in the process or shifting naked, he was coordinated. And he was still in his clothes, which made it even more intriguing."What?" Lucian asked as she continued to ogled him. "Nothing," Emberlynn flushed, averting her gaze. She licked her lower lip and took in her environment for the first time.They were deep in the forest. She didn't recognize where exactly, and she knew it wasn't Damien's territory.They had traveled far too long to still be in it.Also, the absence of oak trees made her relax a bit because the presence of one could only signify she was still around Damien's pack house, and he had warned them about leaving, or else he'd kill both of them.She was aware he meant all that he said and was glad that Lucian hadn't stal
