Reign
What the hell is happening?! What the hell did he mean by MINE? I don’t belong to anyone. Please don’t hurt me. I pleaded softly, the memories of Luther, my ex-boyfriend’s, beatings came rushing back. I wanted to cry but I wasn’t going to cry in front of him but that didn’t mean I wasn’t scared. I heard a voice call his name and he released his grip on me. As he released his grip, I rushed into Jazlyn’s arms.
Jaz and Ryott started leading me out when Damien spoke. I’m so sorry, I would never hurt you. He tried to caress my cheek, but I recoiled from his touch. Please don’t ever touch me again. I hissed and walked off with Jazlyn and Ryott. Even though I was weirded out by him, there was something about him that told me he wouldn’t hurt me. Yeah, go figure that. I have completely lost my mind. When we were in the elevator, he made me feel things that I’ve never felt before. When he leaned into my ear and whispered, mine, it sent sparks shooting through my body. When he showered my neck and shoulder with kisses, I shivered all the way down to my toes. What’s wrong with me? I know nothing about him, except that he is the twin’s older brother.
I pulled Jazlyn and Ryott to one of the tables, WHAT THE HELL, JAZ? I whispered-yelled. What is your brother’s malfunction? I demanded still trying to slow my heart rate and control my breathing. Reign, I’m sorry. I’ve never seen him like that. Jaz apologized. Bullshit, Jaz! Reign, please calm down. Jaz pleaded. Please trust me when I tell you that he would never hurt you. I don’t know what came over him.
You know what’s going on!! What the hell aren’t you telling me?! He really freaked me out and why did he whisper ‘MINE’ in my ear! and DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! I told her rubbing my wrist where he had a hold of me. I know there’s something you’re not telling me! I rubbed my wrist; it hurt and was turning purple. Just please trust me, I would never put you in harm’s way. You and Ryott are my partners in crime, my bff’s, my person’s. Jaz told me with a small smile.
Look maybe you should just spend time with your family alone. I shouldn’t be hanging around and getting in the way of your family time anyway. I suggested. Her and Ryott were vigorously shaking their heads no. No, NO way! Jaz sternly said. You’re not backing out of going on vacation with us because of my asshat brother. She grumbled, she looked like she wanted to cry. I hate it when she does that. Besides mom is not going to let that happen, she already has plans for us. She sobbed. Awe, Jaz, please don’t cry. I sighed. Fine, I’ll go but if he tries anything, I’ll kick his ass. I told her raising my eyebrows. You know I can do it. I warned narrowing my eyes at her.
Oh please, be my guest, shit I’ll help you. The three of us giggled and looked at Jyden, Koltyn and Damien. My eyes locked with Damien’s; he gave me a small smile. I felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach, what the shittles!! This guy scared the wholly hell out of me and now I’m feeling weak in the knees over him. This can’t be, he’s like six foot eight, built like a brick wall, beautiful shaggy shoulder length brown hair, green eyes that I could get lost in and he is abso-freakin-lutely gorgeous. There is no way that he could be interested in me…but he did say that I am his. What is that about? Snap outta it Reign! You shouldn’t be thinking things like this!
Jyden, Koltyn and Damien walked over to our table, May we join you? Damien asked. I shrugged my shoulders and agreed. Jyden sat next to his girlfriend, Ryott and Koltyn sat next to Jazlyn, yes, his girlfriend. I always felt like a third or fifth wheel when they were around and were all lovey dovey and shit. It was just so disgusting, but I wanted that disgusting lovey dovey shit. I just haven’t found the right guy to be that gross and disgusting with. Damien tried to sit next to me, but I moved to the other side of the table next to Jaz. He gave me a weak smile. I felt kinda bad but at the same time, I wanted nothing to do with him but there was still something about him that scared me and at the same time pulled me to him.
Do you have something to say big brother? Jaz snorted when she noticed that he kept glancing at me. Shut up Jaz! Jyden barked. Yes, he does have something to say. He scowled at his sister. What’s the matter? Can’t he speak for himself? Jazlyn demanded with her arms crossed over her chest. Okay, then, spill it! She said raising her eyebrows and motioning for him to speak. Jaz, you’re not making this easy. Damien gruffed.
Why should I make this easy on you? You scared Reign shitless, and you left a bruise on her wrist! Jaz scowled as she lifted my arm. Damien had a pained look on his face, it looked like he felt bad. Good! He should feel bad for what he did. Jaz! Zip it! Jyden snapped.
Jaz, it’s okay, let him say whatever he wants. I told Jaz putting my hand on her arm. Damien looked at me, he rubbed the back of his neck and leaned over the table a little closer to me and I moved further back from him. He stopped. All I can say is that I’m sorry. He told me. I never meant to hurt or scare you. I could never hurt you; I would never hurt you. He whispered with what sounded like…sadness, true sadness. The look on his face, in his eyes told me that he wasn’t lying. I felt a little more relaxed under his gaze. It felt like hundreds of butterflies were released in the pit of my stomach. I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and melt into his arms. C’mon! This is not some stupid romance novel.
Don’t be an idiot Reign, you’re fifteen, he’s twenty-one, you just have a crush on him. What the shit, get over it? Yeah, okay, just don’t EVER do that again. I responded as coldly as I could. I’m going back to my room. And I walked away.
Reign Damien, stop being such a douche! I heard Jaz grumble. She was on the phone with her older brother, who we were scheduled to pick up from the airport tomorrow. He and his security company have been hired to take over as my security team. Why does he dislike me so much? I asked her. Trust me, he DOES like you. She told me with a huge smile. Yeah, okay, sure. I snorted. The guy doesn’t even know me and he’s already talking shit about me! Jazlyn’s eyes widened, How did you know that? She twitched her lips. Uuuhhh, hheeelllllooooo, you always talk to him on speaker, I hear you when you’re talking to him. I gripped. How can he talk so much shit when he doesn’t even know me? And he’s supposed to be in charge of my security while visiting, that just brings me so much joy and confidence. (Note the sarcasm.) I already feel like I’m being a burden. Don’t listen to my brother, he can be a real asshat. Jyden chimed in. Jyden’s right, we are going to have some fun, we have a few s
Damien They are set to play their last show of their tour, which is being cut short because per her doctor’s orders she needs to rest. Apparently, she passed out on stage about a month ago and her managers, Mac and his brother, Duncan, her tour manager, had been arguing with her to take it easy. Oh, and also some psycho stalker has made her the object of his deranged obsession. My family owns one of the best security firms in the world, her manager’s and record company contacted me to take over her private security. My team and I are heading to Houston for their final show. The 4th of July is going to be their biggest show to end their tour and it is also Reign’s eighteenth birthday. I will be able to claim her and tell her about me and the rest of my family’s true selves. She and the twins are supposed to pick me and my team up at the airport. My excitement was building to see her, these next few weeks are going to be torture, she won’t feel the same feelings I am until her birthda
Reign It’s been three years since I last saw the twin’s older brother, Damien. I was fifteen and he was twenty-one when we first met. He and their parents came to one of our shows when we were on our first tour. When we first met, I wasn’t sure about him, considering he scared the shit outta me. He cornered me in an elevator and wrapped me in his arms and said that I was HIS. I had no idea what he meant. I’m still not sure what to think, there was something about him that drew me to him. When he had me in his arms there was an electric shock that jolted through my whole body, just being around him was intoxicating, hearing him say my name made me go weak in the knees. When his visit was done and he went home, I felt like a part of me was missing, that was just crazy. I never told the twins about my feelings, hell I wasn’t even sure what was happening myself. I had no idea what those feelings were, I was beyond confused. I never saw him again; I was disappointed, but I never let it b
Reign Is he ready to go? Or is he leaving with her? I asked my voice laced with venom, for whatever reason I was angry, jealous and hurt. What are you talking about? What’s going with you? Who are talking about? Her who? Jaz rambled in confusion. Nothing’s wrong! I snapped. I’m fine! And you know who I’m talking about. The hell you are! She snapped back. Why are you so pissed off? I didn’t come here to watch women throw themselves at your brother. I snorted furrowing my brows and scrunching my nose. Jaz giggles. I glared at her. That bitch? She threw her thumb behind her. Oh please, Damien put her in her place, besides there’s only one female he wants touching him and only has eyes for. She winked at me. I could feel my cheeks warm up. Are you blushing? She snickered. What?! NO! I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I don’t blush. My cheeks turning a brighter red. Yeah right, go ahead and tell yourself that, that’s why you look like a beet. She smirked. I
Reign After going back and forth about who paid the bill, we made it back to my house. Mac was waiting on us. It’s about time you got here. He gruffed. I told you where we were going to go after they got here, you could have joined us. I walked in and kissed his cheek. Didn’t have time and still don’t have time. I just wanted to make sure Damien had everything he and his team need. He said shaking Damien’s hand. I just need the schedule of events for the rest of the tour. Damien told him. Not a problem, I’ll have Reign’s assistant get that to you. Wait? Why does he need that? I asked. Isn’t Jason… No, he’s not, not anymore. Mac stated. He’ll still be around to but he’s not in charge, besides, it was only temporary, and he knew that. But I thought he was in charge until… He was but things change. Damien is in charge now. Mac said so coldly. What things? I demanded. Sorry to interrupt but where do we set up? Moses asked. Ground floor, through that door, down the
REIGN I’m what? I asked trying to catch my breath. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I told him turning away to go to my room. See ya in the mornin’. We have an early day, make sure to review the itinerary. And I ran upstairs. I could feel his eyes staring at me, don’t turn around, don’t turn around, I told myself. Please, just go to him, run into his arms and let him hold us. My inner voice begged. Will you just shut up, please? I snapped at this crazy ass voice in my head. Reign, you, okay? Jaz called following me up to my room followed by Ryott. The three of us were thick as thieves, at least that what everyone said. I’m fine. I snapped. Reign Rose Raven! She snapped at me. I rolled my eyes at her. What Jazlyn?! What the hell is wrong with you? Nothing is wrong. Bullshit! Both her and Ryott said in unison as we walked into my room. Just tell her, maybe she can slap some sense into you. The voice grumbled. What did you say? I looked at Ryott. I didn
Reign After we drove for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Cracker Barrel. I love this place. I got out rubbing my hands together. Let’s go. I said skipping into CB. Hi, I need a table for 15 please. I smiled at the girl. She looked at me and her mouth fell open. Damien approached her. Excuse me, may I speak with your manager? He asked politely. Miss? He snapped his fingers in front of her face. OMG! She squealed as she covered her mouth. Please don’t scream, yell or call attention. He told her bring her attention to him. Get your manager for me, please. Quietly. She nodded and rushed off. When she returned, she had who I assumed was the manager. Damien went and spoke with her. That female better not touch our mate. My inner voice growled in my head. Not you again? I grumbled. And why do you keep calling him our mate? I don’t even know what the hell a mate is. I snapped. As crazy as this sounds, do you have a name? I asked. Call me Nera and she’s touching him, go
Damien Hearing the sobs of my mate made my heart ache, all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms, hide her away and take her pain away. I kept glancing at her in the rear-view mirror, she looked so broken. We finally arrived at Reign’s home, she jumped out of the car and rushed her way to the police line, but she was stopped by Mac and Duncan. She was fighting hard to get lose but they held her tight. A wave of anger flowed through me, and I ran to her side growling at both men, who released her, and I wrapped my arms around her. Let me go! She kept yelling. Please, KC! I need to find KC! Who’s KC? A firefighter asked who was standing next to us. KC, she’s my furbaby. She was in the house! Please find her. She sobbed. KC! C’mere girl, come to momma! She pleaded trying to whistling for KC. Mr. McAvoy, may we speak with you? A fire fighter called. Jaz and Ryott put their arms around her in comfort, I stood behind them and wrapped all three of them in a hug. Slowly Reign sunk to h
