Damian

When Dad announced that bombshell, I went completely still. Every single nerve in my body settled… not in a calming, peaceful way, but in that sharp, unsettling, ‘I never imagined it would turn out like this’ kind of way.

Truthfully, I had always known something of this nature would eventually happen. A time would come when Darkshade would finally be split into two again, just like it originally had been from the very beginning, long before Dad made the decision to merge both territories

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   15: Something dangerous

    But like always, that wrath, raw consuming hatred, those lingering pictures of her from five years ago, and then the image of Damian standing up for her earlier, with his arms wrapped around that rounded waist, replaced whatever feelings or worth her presence might have stirred within me. My brows furrowed deeply as I took a few slow, deliberate steps closer to her, and that was when I noticed something… off. Something strange in her composure.Was she… resisting now?She didn’t flinch, didn’t tremble, didn’t bow her head like she always did at every summon, or whenever I stood this close to her.And worse, those rounded hazel eyes were locked onto mine the entire time. Bold. Steady. Unrelenting in a way that scraped against my nerves.It unsettled me.Something should break that resolve. Something should shatter that strength and send her crumbling back to where she belonged, on her knees… just like before.‘Don’t do that.’‘You’re only making her hate us more instead of winning her

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   14: Bad boy

    LiamSo Damian found his fated mate two years ago and I'm unaware? Then I'm certainly lagging behind on some details.I'm sure it probably wouldn’t be HER from four years ago. My curiosity piqued, and suddenly I want to meet this fated mate of his.I would love to explore something between those thighs of hers.A smirk formed on my lips, and my cock throbbed just at the thought alone. How rude could he be, not to share that piece of information?“Isn't there any other conditions aside from having to present a bride?” Damian's voice cut through my lust rudely, making me curse under my breath.“I'm afraid there isn’t any other way, my son,” Dad snapped. “Unless you intend on growing old without an heir to take over from you.”“A leader could be appointed then. If my realm is over, it shouldn't be mandatory that the heir comes from the alpha’s lineage?”Dad’s eyes darkened instantly as he snapped furiously. “I forbid you from spouting such rubbish before me. How dare you think in such a

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   13: How soon?

    LiamI rounded the corner and was now standing in front of Dad's chamber. I exhaled sharply, forcing some calm into myself as I pushed the door open.The room came alive in a wash of enormous golden light that shimmered across every corner of the space, some of it streaming in through the tall windows while the rest poured from the grand chandelier suspended just beneath the ceiling.Dad’s room was massive, one of the largest in the house. Furnished with an expansive bed, a private study area tucked to the side, towering bookshelves lined with volumes of both ancient and modern histories, and a washroom and minibar stretching out along the opposite end. Altogether, it held a complete, luxurious ambiance where one could study, think, and strategize effortlessly, without lifting a finger or stressing over the packhouse.The moment I stepped in, my instincts sharpened. My gaze locked onto Dad in the study area. From a distance, it looked like he was going through a document I couldn’t qu

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   12: Craving her presence

    AuroraIt was like air itself was stripped away from my lungs as I left that hall, scrambling through bodies that held the most heightened disgust for me. That was what I saw beneath those stunned eyes.But that wasn't even the main reason I had to run away. That wasn't it. But the fact that my body betrayed me when he had held me at my waist, suspending me like I weighed nothing.And no…I shouldn't be feeling that ache curling low between my thighs, the phantom sensation of heat against my core, and then that electric jolt that coursed through me like wildfire, all because of the very man I knew, without a doubt, would still reject me.It was clear on his face when he finally realized where he had held me. The disappointment. The flicker of regret. That look… the kind he would never bother to hide.But he stood by me a few minutes ago, right before everyone. Was that only because of his instinct?Was it something he couldn’t control… or was it all just an act?My God.I only just re

    DamianWhen Dad announced that bombshell, I went completely still. Every single nerve in my body settled… not in a calming, peaceful way, but in that sharp, unsettling, ‘I never imagined it would turn out like this’ kind of way.Truthfully, I had always known something of this nature would eventually happen. A time would come when Darkshade would finally be split into two again, just like it originally had been from the very beginning, long before Dad made the decision to merge both territories under one rule when he took charge of them.It had always been easier that way, ruling from a single standpoint rather than stretching authority across divided directions while still maintaining the same level of precision and control. But even with that, I knew one thing for certain, he would never want us fighting over positions. And by right, I was the one entitled to rule as the first son.Still, I wouldn’t have minded if he divided the pack lands back to their original structure. I wouldn’

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   10: Everything in the world

    AuroraMy entire spine locked. My heart stuttered.My mind carved holes of its own when Liam asked me to serve him at his table. I knew one thing straight away as the air immediately left my lungs in one sharp pull.He wanted to humiliate me. He wanted to send the message straight. To remind everyone exactly where I stood. To reduce me, again, to nothing.Kiera stirred with rage in my head. She was still weak, but the realization also weighed on her. Even in her rage, there was still nothing we could do about it.We couldn’t refuse either. After all, I was his. Wagered, owned, bound to him as nothing more than a personal servant long before tonight ever happened. Long before I even realized he was my mate. Long before the rejection.I moved slowly, weakly, towards where Liam sat. Each step toward him felt heavier than the last, my body already drained just from being in his presence. The hall was massive, filled with eyes, voices, power, but none of it mattered.Despite my second cha
