āDamn You-ā Losing her composure she lost it when I used her sensitive spots. Scowling, I brought my hand to grab her but she attacked me with her dagger to stop me and instead of dodging- I stopped her attack with my hands. āDo you think this mere dagger can stop me fromā¦ā I held it with my hands, allowing it to cut deep into my skin and draw blood. Locking my eyes furiously with hers, brushing my body over hers. āComing closer?ā Whisering, I smirked darkly, holding her dagger back. āDo you fucking think you can come to me whenever and however you want all the time?ā She growled, shaking slightly when I brought her family in between. Pausing the moment my blood began to draw out of my hands and stained her dagger. Her eyes widened, lips quivered slightly. Till today my blood made her tremble⦠Unwillingly, It pricked a needle in my heart. But she was not weak anymore and concealed those emotions perfectly. āTouch me now and I would cut those damn fingers.ā She growled, co
PASTSEVEN YEARS AGOMy twenty year old self was sitting under the shades of a tree. Humming to myself to indulge in my time while my closest friend, the most skilled daughter of the Becker bloodline, Janine Becker, was sitting on the branch.One of the strongest hunters, the cunning and grace of the Becker family and my best friend.āAh, Darius, I could barely wait.ā Her chirpy tone came, hanging her legs from above.A wide, exhilarated grin spread across her blue eyes as her short raven hairs flew in the air.āSo when is Athena coming, Janine?ā I asked, glancing up at her. It had been a long time since I last saw her.āSoon. Why are you asking?ā She asked nonchalantly, looking down at me which widened my smirk, teasing her.āIs she hot now?ā I asked excitedly, bringing her frown on her features.Breaking off a branch she threw it at me but I caught it, smirking playfully at her.āFuck you, Darius, she is my sister, like hell I would allow it.ā Hissing, she came down, sending a wa
Itās been a few months since Athena came back and I couldnāt avert my attention from her. Those sensations I gained in her presence were inexplicable. I thought she was my āthe oneā. And taking those sensations along, I went to see her only to find her Father yelling at her. āWhat is wrong with you, Athena?! You are our blood and still canāt aim properly?!ā He was teaching her how to hunt but she was terrible at this so she got a scolding. āThe Athena I knew could never hurt a soul, let alone to murder one.ā His voice echoed in the air which pricked a needle in my chest. Athena was fragile, she was kind, she was not made for brutality. I didnāt like this. āI apologize but I condemn violence. I didnāt study this hard to kill a soul in the end. I cannot do this.ā Breathing out, she turned her head away, curling her hands in a fist. She felt powerless. As a Becker, she must hunt- but she couldnāt. āThis is survival. The basic instinct. You must learn it. Why donāt you get
After taking Athena away and avoiding her Fatherās death-glare, I decided to not show up near her for the time being or else it would infuriate everyone. But, I couldnāt understand why they were displeased with our closeness? And since I was unable to maintain distances with Athena, I took my chance again and we left for a specific place in the evening. āWhere are we going, Darius?ā She asked with a giggle. Holding her hands felt delightful, it felt as if it was meant to be and I accepted it wholeheartedly. How could I not want a partner like her? āShh. Just tag along.ā Smirking, I pulled her forward, leading her with me to a beautiful lake surrounded by fully bloomed cherry trees and the second sun set- they began to glow. āSo what do you think about it?ā I asked happily, turning to her and found her lost in awe. Her jaw dropped, eyes shone brighter than the pebbles shining, making my insides curled into bubbly sensations, bringing a grin on my features. āSo mesmerizing
I began to hold firm faith that whatever me and Athena had was the connection I was dying to receive but soon the reality fell flat on my face. Athena and her family were in the royal castle where our King Theodore was holding a meeting. I was the Alphaās son and took advantage of my status and came with my Father, hoping to hold a glimpse of Athena. And when everyone was busy, I saw her, humming to herself, lost in her dreamy world, looking out of the window. Strangely, when I saw her this time, my heart didnāt race. It didnāt give the exhilarating sensations but I ignored it. āI must have gotten used to it.ā I thought, shaking my head and coming closer. āHey.ā Calling her sweetly, I rushed to her side. āDarius? What are you doing here?ā Gasping, she turned to me hesitantly, moving back to stop me from coming closer but I didnāt want to. āItās alright, Athena. No one is coming for an hour or so.ā Reassuring her, I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. āAnd what about your
āBecause Athena is not your mate, dammit!ā If Athena is not my mate then what are those sensations that I am experiencing? Blinking, I failed to comprehend the depth of her world- perhaps I didnāt want to. I couldnāt justify my feelings otherwise.She must be wrong.āWhatā¦?ā I asked again, praying I heard something wrong. It couldnāt be that.But, the sternness on her face indicated it was no lie. āYes. I havenāt seen your mate yet and even if I would, obviously I am forbidden to tell you but whoever it is- It is not Athena.ā I stood still, unable to grasp the depth of her words, hoping to accept it but my heart refused to.āShe is.. Not?ā I questioned myself. Yeah, my feelings were not how I expected them but that didnāt mean that she⦠that she is not my mateā¦āSo stop toying with my sister before she develops feelings.ā She did⦠She had accepted me as her lover. As her partner and mate.What should I tell Athena now? What should I do now? āI donāt want her heart to break, Da
ATHENA BECKER.Before I could realize, time passed in a matter of a blink in his proximity. When I was near him, things flew by so rapidly yet mesmerizingly. āI believed it wholeheartedly that we were mates.āTwo years. Two years for immense love, devotion and affection.The years I wanted to burn from my memories but I couldnāt. They were my treasure after all.With my hands around my sides, I was staring at the sun drowning and spreading a delicate vibrant orangey shade in the sky.āHeyā¦ā I murmured.Smiling, I inhaled deeply to indulge in this beautiful moment and to enhance it, his addictive scent reached me.Over these years, he had shown me overwhelming love, sweetness and care that it blinded me, I had absolutely given myself to him.I had utter faith that I was his mate. I would be marked by him, I would be his forever. I had faith in my loveā¦āHey. How are you doing?ā He asked seductively, biting my earlobe. Holding me from behind, he pressed his large chest over my back,
āPlease, Father, please. Do it for my sake.ā I pleaded with my Father, going after him.āWhy donāt you get it, my love. You are not his mate and I donāt want to see you getting hurt.ā Father whispered, narrowing his eyes in compassion.āI have faith in my feelings, in our love, Father. Darius would never betray me.ā I enunciated firmly, willing to do anything for him.āDo you trust him that much?ā Father asked suspiciously. He was taken aback at my display of faith.āI do.ā I nodded sternly, overflowing with determination.Father stared at my face for a few seconds and sighed deeply, shaking his head.āFine. I am only doing this for you but if he broke your delicate heart, I might kill him.ā He declared and left.Everyone in my family knew that I couldnāt handle heartbreaks. They were worried and I was blind in love.It took me a while and effort but I tried my best to convince my Father and I finally did it.He only needed his approval and I didnāt want his desire of being an Alpha t
After separating our paths with King Hadrian and doing the exchange, giving him his mate. We returned to the land of rogues.The place where no rules apply and you live happily.āThere is your new home, guys, a place where a human and werewolf relationship is not forbidden. Where you can live happily.āJanine happily introduced to the enormous land, almost a community living in harmony.The proud work of Janine Becker. Blood Hunters.āYou made it?ā Athena asked in disbelief, glancing at her, not expecting she was capable of creating such a masterpiece.āYes. The second I had to stain my hands with our parentās blood, I swore to myself to create a world where such laws wonāt exist. I have created this place for you guys, for us.ā She nodded sorrowfully, curling her hands in a fist from powerlessness.āJanine.āReturning a sweet smile, Athena held her shoulder, giving it a stern squeeze. Sighing, she removed her hand and returned a beautiful toothy smile.āBut, no more tears. This is yo
PAST.DARIUS ALFONSO.A tear rolled down my cheek, I was with Janine, curling my hands in a fist, gritting my teeth."Why did this happen to me?" I growled after finding Blue as my mate. She was on the ground with a graceful smirk over her lips, pushing her short hair behind."You are the first person I have seen who was depressed after meeting his mate." She teased me but I was not in the mood for it."What should I do? Why didn't you do anything?" I argued, holding my sides, pacing around with frustration.She scoffed, "I am not your babysitter. They are going to keep an eye on you. If they find out you are with a human- they will kill both of you.""I know. But, I donāt want to break Athena's heart. She is too fragile, Janine." I whispered desperately.I was afraid of her reaction, afraid to hurt her and I knew this bond would drown me in the end- which it did.Rising from the ground, she stared dead into my eyes."Do whatever you want but if my sister's heart breaks- so will your
I was in utter disbelief when I saw her, looking more elegant than before. Her hairs grow long but the dominance surrounding her never faded.āYou⦠are alive?ā I asked vaguely.Clinging onto Dariusās arms, blinking in confusion at her while she merely smirked at my reaction.āYes. Alive and well.ā Nodding her heels clicked against the floor, approaching us gradually while turning her glance to King Hadrian.āI don't understand⦠how..?ā I asked, swallowing hard, turning to Darius and back to her.āI couldnāt understand, they told me you had died, I was accused of it then how..?ā I asked, narrowing my eyes with bewilderment.But displeased with my reaction, King Hadrian turned to me, frowning at me.āAre you deaf, Athena? I just told you she helped me in assassination.ā He mocked, reminding me.But I was too lost in Dariusās words and my realizations that I failed to grasp the depth of his words. Janine was alive all along.āShe was there all along.ā King Hadrian scoffed but I was too
A needle pierced through my soul when I heard it. I could feel my worlds coming to a crash when the truth hidden from me came to the surface.In a hidden corner, I prayed that he had a reason. And I kept hating him for five years.āNo, this ill fortune land. How could it do this to me?ā I whispered, covering my mouth.My steps stumbled but Darius held my shoulder, staring intensely at my teary eyes hoping to console me but nothing could help me.āAs long as it was a juvenile love, they ignored us but after my mate⦠After finding Blue, I⦠remained loyal and committed to you.āHow wrong I considered him?āThree months after meeting Blue, you were with me, you didnāt leave me. You⦠loved me all this time.ā My lips began to shake, holding him with all my might, tears blurring my vision. He nodded, heartbroken, āYes, I did and they came to know about it so I had to make a harsh choice and to save you, I chose Blue.āHe explained and I continued from where he left off, completing the jus
āMy revenge is completed today.ā āW-What? All this⦠y-your revenge?ā He couldnāt form a sentence properly anymore. His jaw dropped, losing his breaths to perceive what he heard but to no avail. The look of flabbergast on his face was extremely desirable. āT-This canāt be⦠We were mates.. Werenāt we?ā āSo what?ā He shivered, having no words at this point while deep down he understood that it was all my plan but was not ready to accept it. āWhat? You thought I would be weak and pathetic again after seeing how weak ones are treated in this cursed land?ā āWhat everything⦠a lie? A ruse?ā He asked and I couldnāt answer. No. It wasnāt. āWeak dies. That is the rule and you are not the only person who is good with manipulation.ā I told him seriously. Pointing my finger at him, pressing it over his heart, feeling how rapidly it was thumping. āManipulation?ā He was in complete shambles, not wanting to believe what he was hearing but I confirmed it. āAlthough you almost broke m
We were in the throne room, tears were glistening on my cheeks, clinging onto a female hunter who was hugging as I sobbed. āMonster.ā I hissed at Darius, holding her while glaring at him. Darius was before everyone. He was on his knees, hands cuffed behind his back, looking down while everyone was staggered how he could do this. But he knew he fucked up because of being too emotional. āContinue.ā King Hadrian came, frowning deeply at Darius, motioning to the person to start the court where his punishment shall be decided. āName?ā They asked Darius. His head was hanging low. Failing to look up, curling his hands in a fist as I kept glaring at him with my watery eyes. āDarius Alfonso.ā His cold tone came out. āStatus?ā They asked him again strictly. āAlpha of the Scarlet Moon pack.ā āCrime?ā āCold blood murder of Jax, head of the hunters.ā I growled to find this look of emotionless on his face, having no regret of staining his hand in Jaxās blood. My Lord growled to he
ATHENA BECKER. Dressed as a bride, at my wedding night, I stood still with my heart thumping abnormally as Jax entered nonchalantly. āHey.ā He smiled, waved at me, and kicked the door close. āHey.ā I smiled back, looking down bashfully, not believing I actually got married to Jax. My wedding night. This thought was drying my throat. Vexing me in anticipation to imagine it would lead. āYou.. look beautiful.ā He whispered, taking my hand and kissing my knuckles, smiling sweetly at me. āThanks. You are looking handsome too.ā I whispered sheepishly. āYou should change. The dress must be heavy.ā He cleared his throat, moving back and taking off his coat and bowtie. āYeah. I am going to do it. I wanted you to see here first.ā I nodded, tugging my hair behind my ear, taking off the jewelry and unhooking the dress. We both changed into something comfortable. My face flushed when I looked at the bed, the thought of what was about to happen arose a tension in my body. Jax had change
After pushing her into a turmoil of distress and stealing her strength at my open threat, we returned and the disquiet expression on her face made me smirk devilishly. Everyone could feel the terror emitting from her while I was smirking with my hands in my pockets, walking with a high head.Leaving them pondering what we talked about which left her in an abyss.āAthena?ā King Hadrianās mouth gaped to find Athena being unable to lift her gaze.He could feel her fear and glared at me for taking advantage of her emotional state and worsening it.āWhat did you do, Darius?ā He asked seriously, rising from the throne and coming closer.āMy Lord, he.. He..ā Athena opened her mouth to whimper but shrugging my shoulders, I kept my posture. āI threatened her. I gave her a warning.āI acted nonchalantly and put my one hand in the air as if it meant nothing. His mouth gaped, frowning at me, displeased.āAnd you know the consequences of threatening my huntress and going extreme, donāt you?ā He
We walked, I could feel her breaths tightening around her throat, inviting me causing the impish smirk on my face to widen. I glanced at her from time to time to increase her tension and embarrassment. āWhat happened?ā I asked, magnifying her stress, pushing her into a corner. āNothing.ā She whispered, not lifting her gaze from the ground. āWhy are you here?ā She asked faintly, disturbed about my strict posture but I spoke dominantly. āI believe I told you I want to talk to you alone.ā And the second we were all alone, I grabbed her arms roughly and threw her against the wall. She gasped, afraid, shaking in apprehension. āDarius.ā She swallowed hard the lump in her throat and was about to push me away but I put my hand over her lips to hush her. āShh.ā My one hand was above her head to trap her petite body under my, looking down at her nervous and stressed form with a sinful smirk. Moving my finger gradually over her lips, making her quiver, leaving her numb as I could feel
