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
Damien whispered near my left ear freezing me on spot."What?"A tear slid down my cheek when I was roughly wheeled around and slammed on the cage. I groaned out loud feeling my back on fire. It hurt really bad."You heard me. Your obedience grants them their life." He spoke near my lips and cleared the tear stains on my cheek with the pad of his thumb.The smirk on his face indicated my defeat. I am helpless, I can't defy him anymore. He is just like his father, cold, ruthless, impervious, and bestial.How easily did I let myself get fooled by this man?My jaw clenched remembering the passionate moments I spent with him. I wanted so badly to just jump in the fire and erase his touches from my body. He played me and I failed to see the mask behind his face. How easily duped me by acting all lovey-dovey when all he wanted to bring me to his father?Suddenly it dawned on me.Anger surged through my veins as I coiled my fingers around his neck and seethed on his face."You're lying. You
My body turned rigid after hearing that. It’s poison.My mind was unable to process his violent acts but he wasn’t in the mood to give me a breather.“L-Listen Damien, NO!!”A horrified scream escaped my mouth when Damien plunged the dagger into Blake's right clavicle. Blake was unconscious still his body twisted in pain. That shows how potent that potion was."NO, I AM SORRY!! OKAY, I ACCEPT YOU!! I AM READY TO MARRY YOU. PLEASE DAMIEN, STOP IT!!" Falling on my knees, I pleaded with the monster whose lips twitched in a sadistic smile. "Give me your word" He was playing with me. I nodded in defeat and looked down, "I promise. Please spare their lives." Hot tears gushed down my eyes. My hair was all over my face as I hung my head, my fists resting on the rugged floor as I burst into heavy tears.Pleased by my broken state, Damien threw the dagger away and approached me. I didn't bother looking at him when he held me softly and made me stand on my feet. I continued crying at my sord
Soulless eyes brimmed with tears were staring in naught. The shivering figure didn’t even feel the wrath of the chilling breeze that was piercing her supple skin like needles. With hands crossed over her chest and head inclined on the window pane, Emmaline was gazing at her captor’s territory for the past thirty minutes. She was caged, bereft of hope and freedom. Damien hit her strongest nerve to gain her submission and sadly, it worked. Her foster family was still under his clutches. Emmaline unwillingly had to give up as one wrong move from her side will result in fatal consequences for the Colt family. A week passed and no one came to her rescue. Damien after locking her got occupied with his pack activities. His long absence infirmed the strength of his guards but for his enemies, it served as the best opportunity to strike them. Damien was furious when Zion reported to him that there have been multiple attacks on the Northern Valley in the last two months. His men though fough
Her body tensed after hearing a thunderous growl from behind. Isabella flashed her a smug smirk and flitted her gaze behind her only to find a seething Damien standing near the entrance with Ryan and Zion beside him. Cashing in on her frozen state, she pushed Emmaline away stumbled backward, and ran to Damien. He wrapped an arm around her in a protective manner. "H-Help me, son. She-She was about to k-kill me," Isabella started crying while pulling his shirt to show how scared she was. Damien patted her head and started consoling her. "You're fine Mom. I am here." He cupped his mother's face and spoke while looking into her bloodshot eyes. Isabelle nodded while her eyes continued shedding tears non-stop. Emmaline was not at all interested in her dramas so she simply looked away when her gaze collided with Ryan and Zion's who were already in her direction. Ryan, as usual, wore his blank look but she could see the concern hidden behind that cold façade. Zion on the other hand was sc
"NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Emmaline shrieked and tried to reach for Jasper who visibly flinched after hearing those brutal words. Damien's command even rendered Zion speechless.An eerie silence prevailed in the dungeon as everyone watched Damien with shocked-filled eyes."DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME??" Damien shouted when Zion didn't budge. The questioning look in his eyes irritated to him no extent because Zion had always followed his orders without giving a second thought.Zion flinched after hearing his fierce growl. Nodding, he splashed the hunter. A loud sound whipped through the air that jarred Emmaline to her bone."NO, DON'T!!" She screamed her lungs out and rushed for his aid but Damien pulled her to her original spot by grabbing her waist.Painful grunts followed by loud wails soon filled the air as people watched their Beta welting the bruised boy relentlessly."No, please. I am sorry. Just let him go. STOP IT!!" Emmaline pleaded while flailing her arms but Damien remained the heart
Entering the kitchen, Emmaline eyed the maids who were busy preparing the delicious dishes. The sweet aroma wafting in the air brought a small smile to her face. Isabella had big plans for today. She called the maids to bring Emmaline out of her room and bring her to the kitchen. Reason- she wanted her to prepare the breakfast although watching the variety of dishes covering the entire kitchen island spoke otherwise. There was no dish left untouched or unprepared which left Emmaline wondering what new she would be cooking for the dysfunctional family. "Luna" Emmaline jumped upon her name being called. She turned to her left only to see the senior maid approaching her with a wide smile. She immediately recognized her as she was the one who used to deliver her meals on her doorstep. "Uhmm, you?" "Janice. I am the head chef." Janice spoke and flashed her a smile that reached her wrinkled eyes. Janice was an old woman. She was the senior servant serving the Knight family for decades.
Frustration.Helplessness.Rage.All these emotions rushed through the Alpha's veins when he came to know that the person who hurt his mate was none other than his mother.Removing his hands from Emmaline, Damien stepped back and turned to Isabella but a frown settled on his brows after watching the dirt patches on her gown."What happened Mom?"His voice held concern which instantly made Emmaline prepare for the worst. She knew another fabricated story was on the way because as usual, Isabella would project her in the wrong light.Isabella leaped towards Damien, her eyes stinging with heavy tears, "Why should I even tell you that? Your mate keeps hurting me yet you do nothing and worse, ask for her well-being." She sneered.Damien clenched his jaw, the veins on his forehead throbbed. Turning to Emmaline who had her eyes glued to the ground, he clutched her right forearm and yanked her closer, "What the fuck is wrong with you, HUH?? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN'T HURT MY FAMILY?
