Roxanne
“Let me ask you a question. If Mia hadn’t cheated on you or rejected you after all these years, or if your father hadn’t fallen sick, would you have requested for me to come back to the pack or even remembered me?” I asked, staring at him intently. He didn’t say a word but looked rather tongue-tied. I guess that answers the question. I was only here because his beloved Luna had cheated on his dumb ass and he needed me to help him with my powers. Funny enough, I no longer had any powers to help him. What an irony!!!! He stood up from his seat and moved closer to me, and all of a sudden, as if he were being compelled by something, he halted his movements as his eyes widened in shock. What the hell was wrong with him? Why did he look like he had seen a ghost? I removed my eyes from him as I struggled to get out of my chains. "Mate,” I heard Damon say, and I froze immediately. What did he mean, Mate? What was he talking about? I mean, there were only two of us in this room. "Mate,” Damon muttered again with a confused look. I didn’t even bother to ask him what he meant by that, as I was more concerned with how I was going to leave this place. He suddenly crouched down, holding my shoulders and forcing me to look at him. “What are you doing? Let me go.” I yelled, trying to wriggle free from his grasp, but my efforts were futile. As he got closer to me, I could once again perceive that intoxicating strawberry scent that had always driven me crazy when we were kids. I closed my eyes and took in a sharp breath, trying to control myself. I was over this wicked man, and I needed to act as such. “So you feel the mate bond too? Fuck, I can barely control myself.” He said, his breath fanning over my neck. “Get off me; what useless mate bond are you talking about?” I asked as my heart raced faster. “How can you sit there pretending not to feel this mate bond when I can barely keep myself from marking you as mine? Your scent is driving me crazy, and the fact that you’re my mate is making it even harder to control myself around you. I feel like pinning you over that wall and thrusting deeply into you.” He said. What the hell? So this is what this is all about? Lying on the moon goddess about me being his mate so he could slam me against a wall? He’s such a pervert. “You’re so disgusting. How shameless can you be exactly?” Lying on the moon goddess about me being your mate so you can have your way with me? You’re still as disgusting as ever.” I spat out and watched as he scowled, gritting his teeth together in anger as he made to retreat. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you think I’ll lie about such a thing? A mate is a blessing from the moon goddess.” He said, anger visible in his eyes. “Then you have a mate who’s your Luna already. Don’t bother me with your lies.” I said, purposely trying to trigger him. He looked enraged as he came over to me once again, dragging me roughly by my arm. “Leave me alone, or better yet, remove me from this chain,” I yelled out. I was beginning to get tired of sitting here like a common criminal when I had done nothing wrong. “You read my letter, right? So why are you purposely trying to trigger me? Mia is gone, and I don’t want to hear anything about her.” He said “I am your Alpha; it seems you’ve forgotten, and as such, you’re meant to respect me.” He said, and that seemed to have made me lose my temper. This was the first time I had lost my temper in the last 5 years. I’ve never been this angry since leaving the pack. "Respect, you say. Number one, you’re not my Alpha; you sent me away from this pack five years ago, despite knowing I had no family and no one to run to. You still sent me out to die.” “For fuck sake, I was just eighteen, Damon. With no one to look up to and nowhere to go, you sent me out of this pack to die. You very well knew I was an orphan, but that didn’t stop you. What we shared in the past didn’t stop you, and you talk about respect.” "Then, after you must have seen how successful I’ve become amongst humans, you sent me those crappy letters to return to the pack after your beloved Luna cheated on your ass, and when I refused, you kidnapped me and put me in chains in this room, and you talk about respect? As if that’s not enough, you’re still lying about me being your mate? How low can you go?” I asked, almost in tears. “I’m not lying; how can I lie about such a thing? And about that. I was a dumb adult; I never should have sent you out of the pack; I just didn’t know what to do at the moment. But you’re my mate; there’s no need to pretend about it.” He said, and it almost drove me mad. He couldn’t even apologize and why did he keep saying I was his mate? I knew deep down that he must be lying, because how’s that possible? You kidnap me back to the pack after 5 years, and the first time you’re seeing me after such a long time, you’re claiming I’m your mate? It wasn’t possible. Although I could no longer hear from my wolf anymore, sense or feel her, so it was impossible for me to feel any mate bond at this time, I wasn’t going to tell him that because I was sure he was lying. “Just get me out of this chain; I’m tired of all this bickering,” I said tiredly. My hands were now hurting badly from being tied up for too long. He couldn't be my mate. My fate couldn’t be that bad, right? I mean, the moon goddess wouldn’t possibly make a man who had hurt me badly my mate. "No, I won’t; you’ll sit there tied up until you tell me the truth. I’m going crazy here due to the bond; I wonder how you’re so calm. You must be a good actress.” He said, and that pissed me off. “You’re still so rude and arrogant. Nothing has changed.” I said while staring at him. “So what about the bond? Stop trying to fight it.” He replied. Well, it was a good thing I couldn’t feel anything, so I didn’t even have to pretend. “What bond?” I asked him. “If you can’t feel the mate bond, as you claim, why not reject me then?” He asked with a cocky smile. “I don’t understand you. How could I possibly reject you when you’re not my mate?” I asked, wondering how he could be so sly. “There. You see, you can’t even reject me because you’re happy we are mates. Stop pretending.” He said, with a smile. “Come off your high horse. We’re not mates; I’m not feeling any mate bond, and the moon goddess is not an author of confusion.” I said, with a smile on my face. Well, two can play the game. “Then reject me.” He replied with a smirk. "Okay, there you have it, Damon. I, Roxanne Emiliano...” I was about to say when he quickly raced out of the room before I could complete my statement. So why did he run out now when I wanted to reject him now? Well, my mission here was to heal the king right? I would simply try my best to do that and I’ll make sure I return back to Kylian and the kids once I’m done.Damon I stepped out of the healing chamber and groaned inwardly. My mind was a mess, and I was going crazy.After I found out Roxanne was my second chance mate, I quickly left the room. It came as a surprise to me. I never thought I’d be able to get a mate again, but here the moon goddess was blessing me with a second chance mate so soon. As if it couldn’t become any more shocking, my second chance mate was Roxanne, my childhood best friend whom I had ordered out of the pack six years ago when I discovered Mia was my fated mate.I was naive and scared that if Mia found out Roxanne and I had sex previously and had something going on, she would reject me, so being the jerk I was, I sent her out of the pack despite knowing she was an orphan and had nowhere to go.I sighed. How could anyone forgive such wickedness? I didn’t even care to check up on her all these years. I was a self-absorbed jerk; my relationship with Whitney had also gone sore because of that, but I never even made any
RoxanneI walked out of the healing room exhausted. I was so tired and sweaty. I had exhausted my strengths trying to use my powers to heal the Alpha’s Father, but all to no avail. My powers were locked, so there was no way I could heal the king. I had only managed to use a little healing trick my father had taught me when I was much younger to stabilize him a little, and he was in a better condition when I left the room.I took a deep breath, contemplating my next steps. I needed to act urgently if I wanted to get back to my kids and Kylian. I was already tired of being here. If I can remember correctly, the mating ball was just 2 days away, and I didn’t want to be here for it; I just wanted to go home.I took slow strides to my room and immediately fell on the bed once I got inside. I felt drowsy and just wanted to sleep immediately, but decided to just take my bath instead, as I was all sweaty. It was already midnight, so I just decided to go to sleep.Agitated silence.That was all
Roxanne “What…. What are you doing here?” I asked, forgetting I was naked. I watched as his eyes trailed my boobs and rested on them and that was when I realized I was naked. He looked down on my genital region and gulped down nothing. I was so embarrassed, rattled, shocked, ashamed, and frozen to the spot. I couldn’t even do anything. I couldn’t even bend to pick up my fallen towel. I slowly wrapped my hands around my exposed body in a bid to cover myself as I feared if I bend down to pick up my towel he’ll have a full view of my ass. The pervert didn’t even try to pretend not to look. He just stood there, gawking over my naked body like a starved animal. I quickly closed my eyes so I wouldn’t have to see his perverted face anymore. “Here,” I heard him say and I opened my eyes slowly but didn’t look at him as I left them staring down. I didn’t want to look at him. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. And soon I started to feel him wrap the towel around my body. I closed my e
Damon I woke up the next morning very agile; the halls of the palace were quiet, and I could hear the birds chirping. The pack was worried about the health of my father, and I was worried too. It’s not like I couldn’t handle the pack on my own if push came to shove, but I didn’t want to handle the heartbreak that comes with losing a loved one. I got news from Leo last night that my father is now in a more stable condition, but he hasn’t fully recovered yet. Even though I was grateful for Roxanne’s effort in stabilizing him, I still wondered why she wasn’t able to heal him fully. Before her father died, he was known as the most powerful healer in all packs; he was even stronger than my father, who was still Alpha at the time, and he had passed some of those powers on to Roxanne. I kept contemplating if there was something wrong with her; ever since she came back to the pack, there was something so different about her, and I intend to find out what it was. I strolled to the di
RoxanneI looked around the building; it’s been 10 years since I last came here, and I wondered what Moscow looked like now. I was so scared to step in because our last encounter had been a disaster.I had sworn to him that I would never step my foot in this place again, ever, but here I was 10 years later, coming back to the same place I vowed never to step foot on again for help.I heaved a sigh and pushed the door open, walking into the store slowly, like I was counting my steps.Although nothing much had changed from the outside, the inside of the building had an entirely different look. There were different stencils on the walls, and the interior design looked more beautiful than I remembered. It was looking more filled than usual; it seemed life had been good to Moscow all these years, and business was seemingly booming.There were so many bottles and so many portions around, and wrapped medicines were arranged everywhere. I spotted the "Nikkai,” a very powerful portion as well,
KylianIt was such a beautiful morning in LA. I got up from my bed, stretched a little, and proceeded to enjoy the beautiful view from my window. I stood with my hands tucked in my pockets by the window. The day had dawned bright and clear. Sipping lazily on my cup of tea, which was served minutes ago by the maids, I appreciated the beauty of Los Angeles. The sight was more spectacular this morning as a low mist covered the clouds, creating a beautiful sight. It’s been 5 days since Roxanne mysteriously went missing, and all efforts to find her were in vain.I had a gut feeling as to where she might be, but I didn’t want to mess things up. I was hoping she’d come back on her own, but it’s been 5 days now, and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. When she first went missing, I contacted the police to help me look for her, but there's been no positive response from them since then. I had a hunch on where she might be as there were so many loose ends, but I felt it wasn’t the right ti
RoxanneI hit the road immediately I was able to get the antidote from Moscow. I hope this works out, as I needed to get out of this pack. Being wolf bane was toiling with my mind. I couldn’t transform, I couldn’t use my powers, and I couldn’t even speak to my wolf, and being among other werewolves made me conscious of that fact. I hope this works out so I can leave the pack and return to Los Angeles, I already missed my life as a doctor.I returned to the camp following a secret route I found. I was very careful not to make any noise, as I didn’t want to raise suspicions.I thought about going to see Whitney to inform her I was back and how I succeeded in getting the antidote, but I decided against it and just headed for the healing chamber directly.I entered the healing chamber and found Damon’s father lying weakly on the table. It seemed his health was deteriorating quickly, as he looked frail and pale.I dropped my bag, and steadied myself, moving closer to him. I noticed he was s
Damon I walked into the healing chamber to see Father, and as I inched closer, I noticed a figure on the floor. On getting closer, I realized it was Roxanne, she was sitting there crying.I noticed she was gathering some things off the floor as I got closer. "Roxanne,” I called out, still puzzled about why she was crying. She stifled me immediately she noticed me and immediately began to hasten to pack the things she had scrambled on the floor. I watched her as she stood up and bent down to pick up some things from the floor. Damn it, her butts arched nicely and were facing me. I had to fight back the groan that threatened to escape my lips at the sight in front of me.I noticed there was something wrong as she stood rooted to a spot, fidgeting. On getting closer to her, I noticed her eyes were wet with tears and there were dried-up tears on her face.“Roxanne, what happened?” I called immediately and pulled her into a tight embrace. She didn’t resist, she relaxed instead, placing h
