“Your bloodline is one of a kind Ava, and you are the last missing puzzle.”“You want me dead,” I whispered.“Only because if you remain alive, you will bring havoc to us, and if anyone finds out about you, they will come for us, we have lived secretly and peacefully for years and you are not about to ruin it,” Avery stated, her tone a bit harsh, she looked between Damon and Dante.Obviously aware of the fact that they will protect me.“All you need to know is that, you are the one who binds the curse their bloodline carries.” She states “Damon and Dante”. I whispered.“Yes and if you break it, it would not be good for any of us, that’s why we need you to go,” Avery whispered with a smile on her face.“I am getting bored by this when you invited us to this, I expected more from you, what I can say, you are just a disappointment just like Ava.” Damon spat.“We are leaving,” Dante suggested and she rolled her eyes.“You didn’t tell her about the curse,” Avery asked “Not that it concer
“You stay beside me at all times.” Damon and Dante said in unison as he walked into the party.Imagine walking into a party with the Alpha and his brother beside you, they each stood beside me, neither wanted to let me go and if they didn’t, I am not going to get what I wanted.“Who are they?” I whispered as we stared at everyone.“By your right is Killan, he is your cousin, the youngest; he is not directly related by blood but he will do everything that Avery tells him to do,” Dante explained“By the left, is who I call the monster in your family; he is the only direct bloodline to Selene, he is the only one left like you, he is Selena grand grandson, the only one she ever had and his parents are dead. He stares at you because he wants you dead, he is Gabriel.” Damon explained.I have seen his mother a few times, I wish I could tell him that, I wish he could tell me why she only wanted to appear in my presence and no one else.“By the far end sipping a glass of wine is Jamie, Jamie
“What’s that?.” I whispered, glancing at the piece of paper that Damon held, Dante glanced at him.“An invitation, Avery is throwing a party,” Dante explained and I didn’t speak.Who would have thought that after being forced to spend the night while they were watching me sleep, I would find myself between them again this morning?“You always tend to be confused and unaware of what is going on.”“You never tell me anything.” I breathed out and he smirked.“I tell you just enough to keep you longing for more, when you find out the truth, what will you do Ava, what will you live for, you will have nothing to look forward to.” Damon spat and I looked away.“Avery is from your bloodline, she is your immediate cousin, your mother and her mother was her aunt.” He spoke and my breath hitches.“Why? Why would she want us to come for a party after what she has done?”“You can’t always find out everything Ava,” Damon smirked. “And we are going for it.”“We are still deciding,” Dante spoke and D
“We need to bind her to us, she needs to be bonded to something strong to make them stay away,” Damon explained, and I glanced at them.What did that mean for me, bound to the two brothers I didn’t fully trust? At least a part of me felt like I could always trust Dante, but Damon, I didn’t know if I still could.“The last ritual binds us to Damon but this time, you need to be bonded to both of us,” Dante explained.“In his words, you belong to me first little flame and you always will,” Damon smirked.They stood beside me, and the pain is starting to subside a little bit.“How can they infiltrate my mind, how is that even possible?” I whispered.“Everything is possible when it deals with your bloodline Ava,” Dante spoke, and I glanced at him and at his brother.“Just make it stop.” I breathed out, I needed the feeling of someone inside of me to stop, I needed the feeling to fear to stop her coming to me and I needed to be free at the moment.I watched as Dante leaned in and placed a g
“I didn’t mean,” I whispered when he pushed me to the wall. The moment he started to feel a bit better, his eyes were on mine, and I knew that I had awakened the monster in him.“The First rule of fighting in a war is never to apologize to someone you have hurt. The second rule is never to stand there and watch the person in pain; there is no need to waste time.” Damon said.Despite him trying to be strong, I could see it in his eyes, the way I hurt him, and the way he stood up“You played dirty Ava.”“There are no rules so I didn’t break any,” I whispered and he smirked, he inched closer to me as he wanted me to get into the wall. “Never forget, I am stronger than you and I will always be.” He smirked and I didn’t speak.To my surprise he didn’t punish me for what I had done, he looked impressed that I had done that, I didn’t think I would do that either but the way he yelled at me, the way he spoke, it angered and it activated something inside of me.“That’s enough for today, you br
Morning came too fast, and I dreaded every part of it. I could barely sleep because I felt him watching me, but when I snapped my eyes open, he was not there.Damon wants me to feel scared and he got it.That’s when I saw the monster who dragged me out of my bed and forced me to change without even a bath.“Yesterday you enjoyed your little day with my brother but now I will teach you how to fight better.” Damon smiled.He dragged me to the cellar, I didn’t even know they had one, the reek of blood filled my nostrils, and my mind filled with anxiety when he circled me like a predator.“That’s the smell of blood Ava and I will make you get used to it, a war can’t be fought without bodies and the way I see it Ava, you would need to bleed and make others bleed.”“I don’t want to,” I whispered when he yanked my hand and pulled me closer to him.“I am not Dante, you will do as I say and you will do it properly or else you will continue to do it till you get better at it.” Damon threatened,
