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?
Twenty minutes before No sooner had Damien left with Isabella than Zion picked up his chance to annoy Emmaline. He smirked watching Emmaline who was staring at their retreating figures and walked closer to her. “You lived in New York right; then why do you behave like a caveman?”, he took a jibe. Emmaline immediately looked at him and shot him a death glare, “Fuck off” she sneered and tried to walk past him when he grabbed her hand. She looked at him only to find his stern gaze set on her. The humor was long gone and was replaced with a grim expression. “Misbehaving with Madam is beyond the pale, Emmaline. No wonder if you’re a Luna, the pack would rip your heart out if you hurt Alpha’s parents. They are the cornerstone of this pack, we won’t hesitate to kill anyone who flouts their authority.” Zion threatened her. Ryan immediately jumped in between and pushed him away from Emmaline. “Stay within your limits. She is the Luna, Zion.” “Beta”, Zion sneered in his face taking him by
Emmaline stared at the glowing ball embroidered on the dark canvas with a small smile stretched over her pink lips. That ball resembled a beacon of hope. It was the only source of light illuminating the endless dark sky, the only source which tells the world that there was still a ray of hope on which they can rely. Something potent which promises them the end is still very far if they just hold on to that small hope and keep moving forward. When the depressed Luna had lost her will to fight, she met someone amongst the monsters who provided her an anchor to keep her spirit alive. To not back out and accept slavery, giving them the satisfaction they longed for. Her ray of hope was none other than Zion, Beta of the Shadow Banes. An unexpected savior who promised her to be her lifeline. Emmaline smiled while remembering their secretive meeting where she came to know his real intentions. He wasn't a foe but a friend, a true friend who used to look after her secretly while living in the
