Regret

Damon

Getting to the dungeon that my mate was locked in, the guards at the doorstep bowed their heads in respect. I glared at them with a confused look on my face. I don't know why but I suspect something about them. They looked at me with a different look which is different from before. I just couldn't fathom out what they could have done. They always have that look on their face whenever they've done something wrong. Or I'm just over thinking. They all bowed down their heads with their gaze fixed to the ground. 

It's a good thing that I've accomplished what I have been planning. I'm grateful to the moon goddess for granting me my wish. My only wish is to avenge the death of my parents, and I have successfully done it though I hate it for the fact that the moon goddess had to make the daughter of my parents murder my mate. I think I will just reject her because I don't want to have anything to do with her. Whenever I'm around her, it makes me remember my innocent and gentle mother that my mate's father killed. I hate it. I hate her.

I don't know why I'm going to check up on her. She should be treated as a slave. I don't know why I want to be around her. Though I hate her for the fact that her father was the killer of my parents, I still find myself having little feeling or liking for her. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it's just an obsession that I couldn't stay away from. Or maybe because she is my mate. I think the last one could be the reason. The bond of two mates is something really powerful. 

I always wished to have a mate. I have been begging for a mate from the moon goddess. A mate that would rule the Crescent Moon pack with me. Now the goddess had granted me my wish but she had to give me the daughter of my parents murderer as my mate. How does she expect me to be mated to the daughter of the man who killed my parents? It's impossible. I don't know why she did this. But I'm sure she wants to use it to punish me though I don't know the reason. 

I looked up as the guard opened the door with his head bowed. I adjusted my clothes, and walked into the dungeon. I gasped out in shock with my eyes widened in shock. I was shocked to find my mate unconscious on the floor with her clothes looking tattered. Her face was facing the floor so I couldn't tell what's wrong with her. I rushed toward her with a worried look on my face. I squatted low beside her, and turned her to face me. I cocked a brow as I stared at her face. Her face was filled with wounds and bruises. 

Who did this? I growled out with my tone filled with anger. I carried her from the cold floor of the dungeon, in my arm in a bridal style. My eyes reddened with anger as I stared at the state she was in. Who could have done this to her? It's obvious that she was beaten by someone. "But who could it be?"I asked myself, but I couldn't get an answer to it.

I don't need to be told that it's the handy work of the guards. I knew they were the one right from the time they all stared at me with a worried and startled look. I suspected that they did something to her but I couldn't tell what it was. I walked out of the dungeon, and turned around but I couldn't get a glimpse of them. They must have gone to hide knowing what I could do to them. 

I know the reason why they chose to abuse her, it was because her father killed some of their relatives. But they shouldn't have taken laws into their own hands. They should have let me know, and let me work on it , now they're going to pay for abusing my mate. 

Walking out of the prison section, I made my way toward the passage leading to the Alpha house. I looked up as a familiar scent hit my nose. It was the scent of Klaus, one of the best warriors in the pack. I think he came at the right time. He bowed his head as I moved closer to him. He arched a brow as he stared at Aurelia, my mate— who was in my arms. I found out her name when I went to destroy her father's pack.

"What's wrong, Alpha?"he asked as he noticed the little distressed loom on my face. 

"I don't have time for that. I want you to punish the guard in charge of my mate's dungeon,'' I said and he nodded his head gently. 

"Okay no problem. But what's wrong…"he couldn't complete his statement because I cut in. 

"Just do what I said you should do, and keep shut,"I roared, and he flinched back in fear. He bowed his head, and before he could say anything I dashed off in my wolf speed. 

"You shouldn't have mistreated her. You see what you have caused. My mate is unconscious,"my wolf said, and I groaned out in frustration. My wolf has been blaming and scolding me for maltreating her, and somehow I feel remorseful. I begin to regret my actions. 

"If anything happens to my mate. I won't take it lightly with you,"my wolf said again, and I groaned out with a sigh. I ruffled my hair angrily. 

"Not only your mate. Our mate,"I said, and it growled in my head— adding to the pain that made its way to my head. 

Getting to the packed house, I kicked the door of my room open and made my way into the bathroom— ignoring the greetings of the maids. He dropped her on the bed, and stared at her peaceful face. She looked beautiful and gorgeous. 

There is nothing bad about being a mate with her, but I don't like it because her father killed my parents. I called for a maid— who cleaned her face and dressed her in other outfits. 

Few minutes later, she woke up and I let out a soft smile. I walked toward the table where a painkillers medicine was. 

" Thank goodness that you're awake,"I said as I reached for the painkiller. I stretched it at her with a glass cup of water. She glared at me with a cold look. 

"Keep it to yourself. I never asked for your help,"she said, and I cocked a brow at her. Is she for real? Is this the same Aurelia? I asked myself again because it seems she has changed within a short period of time. 

"What!"I said, and shook my head with a sigh. What's wrong with her?

"That's so foolish of you to think of helping me,"she mocked me with a dry laugh. I didn't bother to say anything. I was just staring at her. I stared at her with a cold and angry look. I clenched my fist tightly. 

"You can also kill the same way you did to my father. Let me go. I would be glad to accept your rejection for our mating bond,"
