Emma's P.O.V.Fluttering my eyes open, the first thing I came across was a pair of steel eyes staring into my soul. I was still in a daze so I rubbed my eyes and again focused on the creature who was seated in front of me.No sooner did my vision was clear than a shriek left my mouth.‘What the hell? What am I doing here?’With a thundering heart, I scanned the capacious and beautifully designed modern bedroom. But the problem was that it belonged to Damien Knight which wasn’t a good sign, for sure.“Baby, are you okay? Do you need something?”His voice which was sweet as candy rang in my ears. Turning my head back, I looked at the man who was looking very dapper and handsome in his jet-black Armani suit. He was standing at a good distance from me, perhaps waiting for my reply but I kept my lips sealed. Taking the help of my elbows and sat on the bed while leaning my back on the pillows. I brought the duvet to my chest and stared at the man coldly. Taking my silence as a cue to act fu
Emmaline stilled on her spot after hearing that deep baritone. She could hear the wild thumping of her heart which wasn’t because of love but of fear. Though she had seen sincere guilt in his eyes when he begged for her forgiveness, still she couldn’t bring herself to trust him. Damien was capacious and the troubles with which he had bestowed her before were no less than a reality check to not to trust that man anymore.“What do you mean?”, whispering, Emmaline pivoted to face the devil who was staring at her impassively, his chilly gaze made her apprehensive.The caring and soft Damien was no longer there instead she could see the same mogul who had ravaged her peaceful life.Dipping his hands in the pocket of his sleek black trousers, Damien took a step in her direction before speaking firmly, “Ms. Browns, I think I had described the conditions of the contract in a very suave manner. You had three days to get yourself a job or return to my company. You had lost the deal so it’s time
"That finally brings us to a conclusion that cloud surfing is one of the best methods."The four walls of the classroom reverberated with Professor Smith's voice who continued teaching the students but his eyes kept fleeting back to Emmaline who looked deep in thoughts. Though her eyes were on him, her mind was somewhere else. Her gaze which always used to stay focused today looked empty and lost.Emmaline was absent-mindedly staring at the whiteboard. Her hands were moving of their own volition scribbling down the points spoken by her teacher but her mind was consumed with Damien's thoughts."You just can't force me to work for you. This is against the law."Emmaline raged at Damien who was unfazed by her outbursts.He let out a snort before looking at her in amusement, "I don't think wolves have anything to do with the rules and regulations of the humans, Princess." He again passed a taunt to annoy her and unfortunately, he gained succeeded.His acute gaze followed her moves. Emmali
No sooner the class ended than Emmaline threw her bag on her back and exited the class. Weaving her way through the throng of students that were laughing and gossiping with each other, she made it to the exit of her department and left for the cafeteria.As soon as she reached there, the delicious aroma of the eateries wafting through the air hit her nostrils. Her stomach grumbled loudly. Emmaline wrapped her arms around her stomach as the poor girl was starving. She hadn't eaten anything for the last two days but there was nothing she could do to feed her empty stomach.Emmaline darted her eyes around. She gulped down her drool watching her colleagues enjoying the hamburger, fries, lasagna, and varieties of meals decorated on their tables.For the first time in her life, she felt the pain of loneliness. Though she had always pushed everyone away willingly, her heart always longed to get a single glance of concern. A person who truly cares for her but sadly, she had none.Feeling her
Matteo's P.O.V.Damn, I just hate chaos.I told Dad that I didn't need to be admitted to a university to complete my education. I could have done that by myself but he just doesn't listen.I was so pissed since morning. Reasons? Man, I have a never-ending list.Firstly, when I entered my class, a swarm of caked bees attacked me but the saddest part is that they have been chasing me since morning. I hate socializing, but I know it's not their fault. They are only trying to befriend me but my silence must have given them the innuendo.Somehow, I succeeded in saving myself from these piranhas who were eyeing me as if I were a snack. Entering the cafeteria, I just bought a coke for myself and turned to leave when I saw a skimpy figure beside me vacillating in the air. I immediately leaped to help her but my hands froze midway.She was again a girl.Oh No.Without wasting time, I forwarded my legs not to help her but to leave this place. No way, I am gonna invite any more trouble for mysel
Emmaline remained frozen in Damien’s arms who held her closer to his chest, too afraid to let her go. She tried not to let her mind sway and stayed on her toes but the moment his warmth penetrated her skin, she let her guard down. Her wolf purred, relishing the enchanting scent which Emma didn’t deny, not this time.Emmaline closed her eyes and leaned her head on his chest. The lub-dub of his heart pacified her, easing up her troubled mind. No matter how much she hates him, she couldn't resist the comfort his touch always provided her.On the other hand, Damien's grey eyes lit up in joy when Emmaline snuggled into him. His heart raced at their proximity but what threw him off his feet was her hidden consent. That’s the power of the mate bond, something which they both neither can resist nor deny."It's alright. I am here Princess; your Damien is always for you." Damien cooed in her ear and kissed her temple.His words stirred her withered feelings.Emmaline was overwhelmed because thi
Saying that Emmaline twisted the knob and exited the room without sparing him another glance.The room fell into an eerily silence. For a few seconds, his mind couldn’t comprehend her words.She rejected him.He lost his mate. Damien couldn’t take this news as he fell to the ground on his knees with a thud. Lost in despair, he continued staring at the door through which Emmaline left after shattering his heart. His eyes held agony, disbelief, hurt, and most importantly regret.He was about to amend his mistakes. The relentless Alpha even put aside his ego and prepared himself to beg for her forgiveness. He was ready to do everything in his power to woo her back but what was the use? She doesn’t even want him. She put a blind eye to his efforts and straightaway turned him down.So, brutally. So, heartlessly. His brows joined together when he felt wetness on his cheek. Wiping it with his finger, Damien brought it near his face and stared at his damp skin for a second.He was crying.
Emmaline was walking through the hallways absentmindedly. She tried to stabilize her mind but it kept drifting back to Damien. The broken look in his eyes. His crestfallen face. And the red streaks that started to form in his eyes the moment she stepped up to leave him. She knew what she had done was a necessary move. How can she develop feelings for the person who had only given her pain? But if that’s the truth then why his longed face bothered her so much? Suddenly something caught her eye that made her stop dead in her tracks. Emmaline started to shake in her shoes. She hadn't paid the fees for this semester yet and to pile up her embarrassment, her name was at the top of the list of fee defaulters. Her heart jittered as it was a huge stain on her pride. After receiving the salary, the first thing Emmaline used to do was to pay her fees. She never missed it but today her empty pocket turned her helpless. Emmaline broke out in cold sweats. Today her name was on the defaulte
