I will chain you like you are mine

I banged on the door, there was no response, and I was sore from hitting the door and my eyes filled with tears.

 

My mind scattered with thoughts when I heard another growl, followed by a scream, I leaned toward the window, my ears pressed against it as the sound of snapping jaws filled my ears.

 

Something collided with the window and I pulled away instantly, my hand found its place on my mouth protecting it from letting out any scream.

 

I could see a glimpse of the forest, with wolves scattered all over, some injured and some not waking up.

 

My heart splattered with tears for every one of them while my mind begged for answers, as to why they came for me.

 

That’s when I saw him- I froze in my position, when his cold icy eyes met mine.

 

He stepped through the poodle of wolves when he pulled up one of them. Damon stared into my eyes, and my heart stomped faster with fear.

 

“Ava,” Damon whispered, his hand wrapped around the neck of the wolf, harshly when he leaned toward the window and I moved away.

 

As if he controlled me, I could not look away from his eye until he used a piece of the glass.

 

“This is what you deserve,” Damon spoke before the glass found its place through the wolf’s skin.

 

A scream erupted out of my lungs, my eyes shut in no time, I clung to my thoughts when I fell to the ground and more tears streamed down my cheek.

 

In an instant, I felt someone touch me, the image of Damon slaughtering that man filled my mind, he is a monster.

 “Stop him.” I breathed out. “Tell him to stop,” I yelled again when my eyes sprang open and I met Dante.

 

He wrapped his hand around me as I pulled onto him with fear.

 

“Don’t look,” Dante demanded and I nodded, I didn’t dare stare at the little crack in the window.

 

He pulled me out of the room, my body shivering with fear when my eyes met Damon, covered in blood, his eyes still on mine as Dante pulled me to a couch.

 

“Look at you Ava, you can’t even handle a little blood and you ask why you can’t be my mate.” Damon spat.

 

“Not now,” Dante yelled.

 

“Little kitten can’t handle being spoken to, what do you think is going to happen, she is going to run away again, she is going to disappear into the forest.” Damon mocked.

 

Damon sprang around and in seconds, his hand wrapped around his brother's neck, a gasp escaped my lips.

 

“Please stop,” I whispered.

 

“Your kitten has begged, and you listen.” Damon mocked again, he didn’t fear that his brother is going to hurt him. “Now let me go before you do something you will regret, or worse get yourself her.” He demanded.

 

Dante hesitated for a second, I watched the tension rise between the brothers, their eyes filled with anger when Dante pulled away and rushed back to me.

 

“You listen to a mere wolf who has no control, who has no idea who she is, that’s why you never meant to be a leader, because you are weak just like that.” Damon spat.

 

My lips shivered with fear, and I held on to my breath as I mustered some courage.

 

“Leave Damon and never come back, you never wanted to be with me, you never wanted your brother to be a part of your throne, let us be, because I am never coming back to you,” I spoke, I could barely hear my voice over the pounding in my chest.

 

I hid my hand behind me because it shivered with fear.

 

My eyes glanced at Damon when he smirked.

 

“Did you think the rejection freed you, Ava?” He asked.

 

“Damon,” Dante yelled. “No.” He yelled again, as if he was protecting him from telling me what I needed to know.

 

“What—-what do you mean?” I whispered.

 

“Do you think Dante wants you for a reason, I know deep down you do, ask yourself, why would someone like him want to be with someone as weak as you, someone as fragile as you, you are nothing while him, he loves to play with toys that I leave behind,” Damon smirked, his tone bitter and his eyes filled with darkness.

 

He inches closer to us, when his hand was about to softly make contact with my face and Dante stops him.

 

“Stop protecting her like a dog brother.” Damon gritted his teeth, he snatched his hand away and Dante never left my side.

 

I was about to speak when I heard a twig snap outside the forest, Dante stood up charged like a dog staring at the door said like his brother when the door sprang open and in an instant, a wolf barged in.

 

“No,” I yelled when Damon pulled his hand into his chest and pulled his heart out, he turned to stare at me with the heart in his hand, and he leaned in and licked the blood off him.

 

“That screen, I will carve it into your soul Ava,” Damon smirked, fear filled my mind when I stared at the wolf lying lifeless on the ground.

 

I underestimated the strength Damon possessed.

 

His eyes were still boring into my eyes.

 

“Don’t look at him Ava, or else I will chain you myself,” Dante spoke and I looked away instantly, I had no idea what to do or how to feel.

 

It felt like I could feel Damon’s voice in my head over and over again.

 

“Keep her for now, you will come to me, Ava.”

 

“I will never do that, even if I am not here, I would never come back to you,” I yelled, this time staring at him.

 

“You will and my dear brother here will do all he can to make sure you never find your way back to me.” Damon smiled. He dropped the heart on the ground and without sparing me a glance, he walked away.
