I didn't even know if to laugh or be offended. Theo was a fucking pest! Was he now stalking me? And how in hell had I not realized he'd been following me?He reached us and looked from me to Adrianne, and then back to me.“Don’t you wonder, Luna, how we always find ourselves meeting at unusual places?” He asked.“You’re following me,” I said in a dry tone, trying to calm down the storm that had erupted within me. Theo didn't know Adrianne was a vampire, and he had been too far off to hear anything we had discussed“Yes, I am.” He confessed with a shrug glancing once again at Adrainne who stood stoic. “Because I don't trust you, now who's this?”I chuckled, turning away at the ridiculousness of this whole thing. Should I just kill him off? He wouldn't be missed, the man was such an incompetent idiot, I felt second-hand embarrassment at his existence.“Who are you?” Adrianne asked, walking closer.“Theo,” He said, stretching his hand, and like I had done to her, Adrianne ignored him. Sh

How do you get the attention of someone who wants to have absolutely nothing to do with you?It's been three days and Damon has actively been avoiding me. His spot on the bed next to me was cold, he hadn't slept in it for the past few days. When he wasn't outdoors, he spent his time in his office where he had his dinner and slept in.It was unsettling, to say the least. I had never felt this silence from his end before, and it was so because it was my fault. I hadn't lost sight of my goal - I could never, but like I’d said, I was going to take whatever he has to offer, and so far I wasn't liking this bad. I was bored out of my mind and nothing was helping ease it.“There have been rumors,” Marina was saying. It was late evening, and we were in the sitting room having tea and cakes.I didn't say anything in response and so she continued.“Of course, I know it's not true but apparently they said Theo defied you and Damon unleashed on him or something like that, it's all distorting tale

I felt everything in me die at her words, my blood stopped flowing, my heart stopped pumping… Every single thing went dead and I could only stare back at the witch with empty eyes.She took in my expression and burst into another of her horrific laughter.“Oh dear me! This is more entertainment than I've gotten in a long time.” She paused and watched me. “Don’t tell me all this while, all this time has passed, so many long long years have gone by and all through it that you thought your mother was innocent, oh no, you poor, sweet child.”“Shut up!” Aunt Aurora said angrily. “Shut the hell up!”The woman turned to aunt Aurora, her face the epitome of pleasure. “You too Aurora? No, I thought better of you. You should be smarter than the kid, shouldn’t you? It will be pathetic if even you think your sister was falsely accused.““You’re lying,” I heard a distant voice say, it took a few seconds to go by before I realized it was mine. It sounded foreign to my ears, small, quiet, broken. “M

One look was all it took for Damon to know something was wrong with me, to get rid of his anger, to put aside everything that has been going on with us, and to hold me in his arms, letting me collapse into him, allowing me to fall and catching me just in time.He didn't say a word, he simply held me like I needed to be held. His arms around me in that protective way of his, the one that shut out everything and left me in the cocoon of his body warmth, caressing not just my body but my soul. Loving me in a way I could never love myself, holding me in a way that sheltered me from everything else, myself included because right now, I was a danger to myself and I only wished I could be spared from my mind.My mind was a monster, a wild child that kept screaming, flailing, crying, and pounding to be set free… I wished I could, I was in utter chaos and the only thing I could do was cry, let it all out, all the pain and betrayal, I let them flow out of me through the tears and they did pour

Damon took in Helena’s worried look as soon as he stepped into the house and he felt his heart rate quicken.“What happened? Where is Alena?” He asked her.“She is still in bed, she hasn't eaten anything all day.” The older woman answered with a downcast look.His eyes glanced to the wall clock in the middle of the room, it was way past midday.“Bring up a meal.” He said before hurriedly climbing the stairs and heading off towards the bedroom.She was underneath the blanket, only the outline of her body was visible from how deeply she'd buried herself underneath.He reached her in a few strides and slightly pushed the blanket aside to reveal her face.“Alena, love,” He called softly.Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at him with such pain and hurt in her eyes that he felt it too, all of the pain she was feeling and it was so horrendous. He wished he could take it away - every single pain she was feeling, if he could, he would and if he had to give up everything he had to do s
