Matteo's words knocked the air out of Olivia. Gasping, she shook her head not able to digest the information which he just threw at her, "What do you mean? D-Don't tell me she's a-""Mystical and hypothetical creature. Indeed, she is one amongst them." Matteo affirmed, the solemn look on his face confirmed to her that he was not bluffing."N-No. That's not possible." Olivia murmured and stumbled backward.Her eyelids felt heavy and a searing pain constricted her chest. Matteo quickly grabbed her when she started wheezing. Her lungs got choked and she felt her heartbeat tapering."Mom!! Mom, open your eyes." Matteo blabbered in fear and slightly patted her cheek.Damien was not at all interested in this drama. But Olivia's reaction whetted his curiosity. What got her this numb?He then directed his gaze at David. Shock marred his face when he noticed his composed demeanor. David was simply eyeing Olivia who was struggling to breathe with cold eyes. There wasn't even a single trace of c
Emmaline let out a shuddering breath as her body convulsed. Damien ran to hold her but she stopped him by raising her palm. Taking the support of her wall, she took deep breaths, her eyes burning with warm tears.Damien watched her broken form with sorrowful eyes. He felt like shit at the moment. The girl had to go through so many heartbreaks just because of his stubbornness or rather he should term it as his selfish and stupid wishes.He doesn't even hold the right to console her when he was the one who had given her so many wounds. She was in this abject state only because of him and his family. Then how can he even expect her to forgive him?But Damien decided to shrug off those thoughts. He would happily accept all her punishments but would never give up on her. The thought itself was potent enough to let his heart go into cardiac arrest.Schooling his expression, Damien approached her with hesitant steps and crouched down to her face level."I-I know what I did can't be forgiven
EmmalinePushing my hair that was sprawled all over my face, I entangled them while running my fingers through them. My eyes were glued on my lips which were etched into a triumphant smirk. And why not?Finally, things executed the way I had wished."Stupid. He himself came crawling to me."Scoffing, I collected a tear that escaped from my left eye on my index finger and glared at it, "You will save me? Pfft! You couldn't even save yourself and plunged into my trap. Damn, I do have you wrapped around my fingers." Saying that I flicked it and placed my palms on the table."I did fantastic acting by the way. Unnecessarily, I was getting scared that I would get caught. That fool got swayed just by my tears. He’ll definitely create havoc if he finds a single scratch on my skin. After today’s incident, I am completely sure of it."I couldn't help but laugh. Tipping my head, I continued staring at myself while my mind drifted to the day, I captured that snake in the grass.Flashback"What k
Devastating would be a much smaller word to describe my vulnerability and torn state at that moment. The couple whom I used to think were enemies were actually playing hide and seek just to reveal me. I again got fooled just by a small act of kindness. Pathetic.Matteo knew about me. Not the whole but he knew that I wasn't a human. Shocking but that was the truth. He befriended me due to some personal grudges. I couldn't hear the entire conversation cause at the same time the female staff called me from behind and I had to scurry before they both could catch me. But what I heard was worthy because it helped me step back before I fell into their trap.Matteo was trying to expose me. He had his eyes on me from the very beginning which surely signaled at one thing that he wanted to hunt me down. Veronica, her partner had given my details to Damien that I was Matt’s date for the night which again of course was her boyfriend’s idea.His betrayal impacted me the most. It extinguished my onl
It's easier said to be done.Emmaline had her eyes plastered on the grey walls for the last thirty minutes. Though she had reminded herself to stay strong, her mind kept drifting to Matteo again and again.Emmaline was determined and had already commenced a new journey that will be full of ups and downs. She knew that Damien for sure would take her to his pack house because it wasn't safe for them to stay in the city when the Stephaninis were chasing them like rabid dogs. They needed to flee as quickly as possible.After the little fight, Damien didn't return but Emmaline was cool because she had completed part A of her plan. Then why her eyes kept turning teary every now and then?There was no perfect answer for it but it could be justified by only one simple reason.The person whom you have trusted the most, who became so indispensable to you in such a short span, with whom you had laughed and cried, with whom you had spent the most joyous days of your life, it’s really too hard to
Emmaline"Morning, Princess."A sweet voice woke me up from my deep slumber. I slowly opened my eyes but my vision was blocked by a large palm that almost covered my whole face."Easy there, sweetheart," Damien murmured and very carefully uncovered my eyes, giving me time to adjust my vision.'Well, that was cute.' Reina spoke and rubbed her nose against her paws like a shy kitten. I scoffed mentally.'Damien never fails to fluster you, didn't he?''Of course not. He's our mate, after all.' She chirped in my mind making me roll my eyes. I could literally feel her bouncing up and down."Where are you lost, love?"Damien's voice snapped me from my trance. I shook my head and flashed him a small smile."Good morning. So, you're taking me to your home today?" I spoke and sat up straight on the bed.He chuckled and put a rogue strand of my hair behind my right ear softly, "Impatient, aren't we?"For some reason, his words churned my stomach. His voice held an edge that contrasted with his
"How long is it gonna take?" I asked Damien while munching on the Doritos."We're almost there." He replied while veering the car to the left.I nodded and shifted my gaze back to the window. We were driving through a dense forest and instead of being a romantic ride, it was simply boring. The weather was clement but it wasn't appealing for me as my mate was being grumpy. Damien had chosen silence for the ride as he was simply focused on driving and I was continuously switching the songs in his playlist to pass my time.I was donning a pink tee, blue jeans, and a black leather jacket with high black boots. Damien’s ministrations reduced me from a gorgeous lady to a simple teen.While gazing at the scenery outside suddenly my mind drifted back to the time when I was in his apartment. As soon as I removed the dress and changed into comfy clothes, I felt energetic.Something was fishy. When Damien was kissing me, indeed I had my fair share of pleasure but my body was weakening. I wanted
That was it.No sooner those words escaped his mouth than I pushed myself from the ground and pounced on him. But Damien grabbed my neck, stopping me midway."HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME?? You said that you'll help me. You promised me. You asked for redemption and I gave you a second chance only for you to backstab me." My voice cracked.But my tears didn't faze him a bit. I was shocked to find the iciness in his eyes. He lacked emotions as if he was a corpse."Aww, poor you." Damien mocked me and pulled me to him while his fingers were still choking me, "Guess, I lied to you Em. Or, I had a change of mind when I got to know about your secret plan." He sneered at my face.My blood ran cold. Damien smirked at my petrified face and left my neck only to grab a chunk of my hair. I screamed out loud when he pulled me to his face level and snarled near my lips."Talking about betrayal, bitch. Weren't you doing the same?"Tears kept running down my eyes like a waterfall. Not because I was hurt bu
