登入He hates her so much. He wants her to pay, but why kill her when he can play the long game? He is the predator, and she's the prey. Or, so he thought. * Damian meticulously leads a double life— an affluent billionaire on the outside and a well-aged lycan on the inside. He has been in concealment since the treacherous murder of his Luna years ago. Damian remains haunted by the depth of the betrayal. His pent-up rage is reignited when Ishtar comes along, an ordinary human who bears the face of the traitor who murdered his mate. A doppelganger of the lycan who orchestrated the ruin of his pack in the past. Not only is he surprised by Ishtar's audacity, but his inactive wolf rages for the first time in a long while, claiming she is the answer. The little human crashes down his high walls, torturing him with memories of the past. Just as he suspects, Ishtar is connected to his past and is the key to relieving him of the excruciating weight he bears. There's a tinge of passion beneath the hard-surfaced hate, and it intensifies the more he tries to quench the fire. # Ishtar has spent years of her life on the street, being a petty thief, since she left the orphanage at eighteen. Everything changes when she bumps into Damian and assaults him. She falls into his world without being aware of his end game and identity. She is the old soul's plaything and his last chance at redemption. Her assumptions about herself become a sham when she's open to the world of supernaturals. Humans are not built to last, but there's more to this one. What happens when Ishtar isn't the only doppelganger around? Who stops the past from burning into existence again?
查看更多I walked through the corridor and the loud moans from Jeff's room made me stop on my track.
I tried to move my legs but it was just as if nothing was happening and I just couldn't move them one bit.
I knew I didn't have to go there, he was already cheating and there was no way I was going to see them because it was going to hurt me the most but I just had to do it.
I just have to see who he cheated on me with.
"Jeff, please please go Harder my love " I heard the girl cry out.
she was definitely in her world of pleasure.
I was already burning with hate and I felt like I was going to explode but when I thought about whose voice it was I felt like my blood was going to stop.
I knew that I didn't want to think about it but I just don't want to think that my instincts and my thinking were right now.
I Walked up the stairs and got to his doorstep. I met this familiar footwear and those belonging to nobody but Tessa.
.Tessa told me she was in the Philippines but what I didn't understand was how her footwear got here and in my boyfriend's house.
I hurriedly walked into the room and the scene in front of me almost made me go mad.
I saw my so-called fiance and boyfriend of 5 years busy thrusting in and out of my best friend as if his life depended on it.
"What is going on here Jeff, what are you doing "I yelled at them.
they didn't even bother to look at me, they behaved like I never existed, Jeff just threw a glance at me and continued doing what he was doing.
I let out all the tears that I had in me as I rushed out of the house.
I could see the way the guards and the maids looked at me with pitiful eyes but I wasn't going to have that, I guess they already knew what was happening.
I ran out with all my might but for the next few seconds I could hear the heavy footsteps coming after me and I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was.
"Dora, Dora, please wait it's not what you think "I heard someone yell behind me.
I turned to look at the boy that I had loved all my life and all these years, never had I thought that he was going to betray me, I thought that I could trust him but yet he could do this to me, how could he make me feel like trash just in front of my friends how dare he betray me after everything that we have been through together.
"Babe please just listen to me, I swear I wouldn't have let that happen I shouldn't have done that, please don't do this to me it's just a mistake and I regret all of it, please babe don't break up with me "he begged to look at me with pitiful eyes.
if It were before I would have fallen for this Stupid trick of his but I wasn't going to be that fool anymore. I wasn't going to be fooled by anyone. I already had enough of all of this.
I turned and glared at him hard.
"This is what you say, this is what you would say all the time.
The last time I caught you with a lady I should have ended it a long time ago but you told me that you were going to change and I believed you, but here we are, you have done it again and all you keep on saying is a mistake you should have just told me that you didn't want to get married to me, you should have fucked any other person but not my best friend.
how could you fuck my best friend and still expect me to have you back, you just showed me that I wasn't worth it and for my mental health am going to leave, am done with this, and don't think that am joking I mean everything that I had just said, it's over between us Jeff and there's nothing that you are going to say or do that's going to change a thing about it "I yelled at him cleaning the tears that were Rolling down my checks.
I watched my best friend walk out of the house with just his top and with a smirk on her face, she had that fulfilled look.
"I guess I had been waiting for this day so long, I just don't know why you are so foolish, how could you just trust someone you barely know, I accept the fact that I was treated like a sister by you but one thing you should know is the fact that I never liked you, I guess you have just being a fool all along because he had always been mine and we planned all of it, I made him date you and I got close to you because of your money but I guess that it was taking so long to hatch the final plan but am no longer interested.
"I am tired of pretending and lying about loving you. I guess you leave a miserable life bitch, because that's what you deserve, "Tessa told me.
I tried to process all the words I just heard, it was just as if I was in a dream, I was hallucinating, I couldn't believe this, this can't just happen.
"I hope I never see your face again bitch because it makes my skin crawl," she told me while Jeff merely bowed his head.
I knew I wasn't in a dream or any state of dilemma. It was happening and those I trusted had done it again, how I had treated her, I was just a fool all along.
"I hope you both rot in hell and Live a miserable life,
Jeff you are going to pay for it I swear.
I walked out of the building without looking back.
ISHTAR"It's okay, it's all gonna be fine," I muttered as I patted his back. "Abby would be so surprised when she walks in on us like this." I loved being in his arms. It felt like the nicest thing to happen to me in a long long while, and I missed him so much. I missed us. I was so captivated by his scent that I leaned in and let myself fall deeper into it, my eyes tightly shut as I continued to hug him.Our moment ended when Abby called out to me. She'd been in my room to shower, and now she was out. Finally, they could meet. I reluctantly pulled away from Damian, but something felt different — like he pulled away first. His hands slid down my back. "Abby?" I called out as I turned, my face flushed. I was nervous, and I knew she'd tease me a lot for it when we were alone together. "Meet Damian."Damian. He was quiet. Awfully quiet, and it terrified me to turn to me. I sucked my teeth and moved my feet unsteadily. I could feel it cooking inside of me already. Unrest, sadness, everyt
DAMIANI placed my phone screen down after responding to Ishtar's texts, and I was still curious as to whom she was letting in, but some issues were more pressing— like the situation that I was in right now.That wait wasn't over, and from the look of things, it didn't seem like it'd end anytime soon. I was pulsating in my seat, my feet relentlessly tapping as I waited in the quiet restaurant. The paper was crumpled up in my hand, and I straightened it, trying to see if there was any information I needed. It felt like I was so close, but I had also taken a few steps back. I barely even understood what was going on anymore, and that somehow granted me the strength to wait longer— because I knew that I had to find answers; there wasn't a way in hell I'd leave with nothing. I'd spend the night here if I had to.As desperation was always followed by frustration, my blood seemed to boil hotter as minutes passed by. My legs wouldn't stop shaking either, so I stood up and began to rummage
ISHTARThe sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as I went about my household chores. Dishes clinked together as I washed them, the rhythmic sound serving as a backdrop to my thoughts. But in reality, my mind was a thousand miles away, far from the mundane tasks at hand.My thoughts were consumed by Damian, his presence lingering in every corner of my consciousness. The moments we had shared during our recent vacation in Samoa played on a loop in my mind. The laughter, the stolen glances, and the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled were etched into my memory.Meeting his friend was also a part of it. I couldn't pull my mind away from those thoughts and the happiness I felt when it happened. Why, then, did I still feel like something was missing? Like I was left in the dark, and every moment I thought I'd crawled out of, it just became that I sunk deeper.Something about Damian didn't add up, and I was tired of making all these excuses in my mind. The
DAMIAN.I must have fallen in love with her a little more after her drunken fit from last night. My God, she was adorable, and I was worried that she'd get sick. I had reprimanded Reiss that morning, probably way more than I should, for getting her in trouble.She wasn't a kid, I know, but it left me tossing and turning for a while, knowing that I was enough protection for her. Even when I remembered all the things I was keeping from her, I couldn't help but feel like shit. Like real shit because she didn't deserve it, any of it.We arrived yesterday, and things fell back into place, not us though. I was stuck in the middle of making small and big decisions like should I ask her to dinner this evening? Should I make her a cup of coffee this morning?Would it be too much if I looked at her and said she was beautiful? I wanted to do everything I wasn't supposed to do. Even now that I'd barely left her for five minutes, I still couldn't manage to swing my thoughts away from her. Ishtar h
ISHTARDamian went quiet after my last question, and it only heightened the anxiety I had been feeling all night long. The more the silence seemed to linger, the more I wanted answers.Nothing about him added up, and his name wasn't in the books. I did my research a while ago and realized Alfred had
ISHTAR.I froze next to him. Despite the slow music that played in the background, I could still feel my heart pulsating as he pulled me closer to him. Sarah's eyes lit up as a smile planted on her face as she responded, "This is the sweetest I've heard in a while," She narrowed her eyes as she folde
DAMIAN.The day of the gala arrived, and the hours seemed to drag as I waited eagerly downstairs for Ishtar to be done dressing up. It wasn't anything important, so I knew she could handle it, especially after the appearance she'd pulled off on the day she tried to tempt me. Time ticked by really sl
ISHTAR."Oh, fuck!" Mr. Beast yelled and shoved Reiss off him. The scrawny lad staggered backwards and fell into the chair while I stood in awe, just a step away from the door.I'd been glancing at it to see how easy it'd be for me to open and spin out, never to look back, never to return.
