His Bane

The crease on his forehead, hushed howls of the wind, and the quiet whispers of the pack were all indication that everyone could feel his anger, and were walking on egg shells afraid of being on the receiving end of it.His emotions always somehow had something to do with the weather.“I think you should calm down a bit. The walls are vibrating, and your anger is affecting us all”. James groaned, walking into his best friend’s office. Alpha Dario’s emotions affected everyone in the 25 packs. If he was angry, happy, or sad, everyone in the 25 realms could feel it through the mind link. So, he had mastered the art of sealing his emotions, and had been doing a very good job at it, until now when he got information that there was an auctioning of beings going on, and that the auctioning had never stopped despite the ban, oath and sacrifices he made to stop it. “Calm down? My alphas are going against everything I stand for by disobeying me and organizing these auctions. I’ve sacrificed

Dario did not think that he could ever get scared or feel panicked by anything but that scream she just let out, had him searching for the source of it in slight panic, only to follow the trail of her eyes and see that Amelia just shifted from human to wolf, intentionally scaring her.Once Amelia’s eyes met his angry ones, she bolted out the door. He had always known that she had been interested in him but never acknowledged it as he’s a man who keeps to himself and has accepted that he’d die alone since his mate was nowhere to be found. It was obvious that Amelia was jealous at the attention he was giving the human female and intentionally shifted in front of her. Her aim was to scare the female away but over Dario’s dead body would he let her slip away from him. At least not until he confirms whether or not she was his mate.He turned back to human female who looked like she’ll pass out any second, and moved closer in an attempt to carry her like he’d been doing before she scream

Dario audibly gasped on hearing those words. It struck him so hard that he had to rethink whether or not he was truly the apex alpha that he was, as a sharp pain cut through his chest, an immediate headache and the sparks he usually felt when she was close, were like an electric shock. His gasp and and were foreign to his own ears as he himself couldn’t remember the last time he gasped or winced out loud.‘These are just mere words. She didn’t even fully reject me and I already feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest’. He thought to himself as he winced again, feeling searing pain in his chest, like the air was knocked out of his lungs. His mind wandered thinking of how vulnerable he already was, and he didn’t like it one bit.Vulnerability was one of the reasons why he didn’t keep anyone by his side. As long as he’d lived, he had no weaknesses, nothing that the enemy could prey on, and that was one of the main things that made him feared by many. He had nothing to loose.

“You shouldn’t have done that!. How is she supposed to warm up to you when you’re like this Aro?!”. Claire yells as walks fast behind a fuming Dario, trying to keep his fast pace. “You can’t treat her like one of your subjects. She’s your mate!”. Claire continues to yell as she follows her brother.He doesn’t reply and keeps walking at the same pace, trying to calm his anger but he was quite overwhelmed. He was angry, his wolf was scratching and doing everything to come out as he did not agree with what Dario did to their mate, and Claire was screaming at him. He felt frustrated.Still silent, he walked into his office, Claire hot on his tail but as soon as she touched the door handle to walk in, Dario yelled at her. “Get out of here Claire!”. The booming voice carrying a sound wave that threw Claire 3 feet in the air across the passage way.A loud crack resounded, and only then did he realize that fucked up.Regret immediately settled in Dario as he realized what he had just don

He was hurt but he understood. The truth was that he brought her here against her will and that was kidnapping. She also had no idea about what was going on as she was human and didn’t feel what he felt. He also hadn’t given her a resin to even look at him as anything but a monster. What that realization, he knew he had to take things slow and calmly. She had suffered so much that she couldn’t easily trust anyone, believe in anyone or even dare to love anyone.She also hadn’t lived all her life and only knew how to survive.‘James, Please come to my office right now’. Dario mindlinked his best friend, seeking advice for the first time. He felt weird, and wanted to change his mind about talking to James but he needed help if he wanted to keep his mate. Marissa on the other hand had been thinking of last night. She couldn’t get Dario out of her head for whatever reason and it frustrated her. He was such a beautiful monster to her. She knew he was everything bad, but his eyes dr
