It took a few seconds before I finally understood what she was saying. My head went blank and I had no idea what to say.He wants me? I shook my head in disbelief still finding it hard to believe the man that hated me so much and would do anything to see me hurt actually wanted to have sexual intimacy with me. My body cringed at the slightest imagination of being that close to him. I shook the thought off my head and grabbed the dress quickly when I heard Mistress Nina snarl ready to yell at me for not doing what she said immediately. I got dressed in a few minutes, putting on the uncomfortable pair of heels. Nina walked out of the room after I finished brushing my hair, I placed my hands on the wall trying to trip and fall as I tried walking after her. We climbed up the long flight of stairs, heading to the corridor I knew must lead to Damien's room. My eyes moved around as we walked into what seemed like another corridor, I have never been to this part of the building so it was

“But alpha,” “Fuck it, Lucas, just do as I said,” I snapped, already getting pissed at his objections. “Yes, alpha,” Lucas replied, giving a quick bow. “Good, now leave.” I gave the last order waving his hands dismissively. Though I knew I could save myself the stress of getting into trouble with Blake or worst starting a war by simply handing her over to him, I felt this strange possessiveness taking over me. I own her and no one can take her from me. “David,” I called my gamma, David through mind-linking. “Alpha.” His voice came through. “Double security at the borders, we might expect an attack.” * Bella’s POV I leaned against the cabinet, placing my hand on my chest as I let out repeated heavy breaths. Shit, I shouldn’t have thought about eavesdropping, now he caught me. What was I thinking?! Eavesdropping on an alpha’s conversation with his brother, it’s forbidden! I grabbed my hair, pulling it tight as I let out a low groan, feeling disappointed in myself. It never

Damien's POVI could only watch in silence as Linda kept ordering the nurses with her to get all the things she needed, the look of panic was evident on her face as they rushed her into the room.A feeling of disappointment washed over her when she turned around and glance at me with a look that held different unsaid words....how did this happen and I had no idea or control over myself?... I felt regret slowly seeping into me, why did I drink so much yesterday?..I thought that was the only way to stop himI walk to my office and leaned against the door, running my fingers through my hair exasperatedly. I'm not supposed to be bothered by this, but my emotions were failing me, I never liked her in the first place so her endangerment shouldn't be so disturbing to me. But the horrible sight of my room bathed in blood made me feel some kind of sympathy for her.I couldn't get the horrible image of her body lying on the ground unconsciously out of my head. Such terrifying sight. I tried t

"Oh my God." I heard Zoe rush into the room, coming to kneel beside me. "Are you okay?" I close my eyes, letting out short heavy pants."Here, here. Let's get you back to bed." As gently as she could, Zoe helped me off the ground, and back to the bed. I placed my palm on my head, letting out a small whimper."Are you okay?""I'm... I'm... I need something, aspirin, maybe, just anything." I could barely talk due to so much pain around my body and head, damn that alpha!"Aspirin? Bella, they don't work on us?""Just get it!!" I yelled, feeling frustrated by her questions. I was completely out of temper, my blood boiling in rage, my fingers began to itch and I knew exactly what that means. I took my hands to my neck, gasping in shock when I didn't feel that metal shackle around my neck anymore. "Shit, where is it?" I needed something to calm me down, to calm her down."Where is what?" Zoe asked, looking quite confused."Just go, get the aspirin!!" I groaned out in pain, feeling a tingle

It's been twelve days since the incident and I think I'm fully healed. Well, except for the intense dizziness I feel recently. Damien was true to his word, and made me begin work immediately I was back on my feet. Thankfully the injuries were healed already, just that the scars were still there, reminding me of the horrible night. The most enjoyable part of the past few days was Zoe's and Linda's part. It wasn't really much and there was no difference at all. They made sure I made encounters with him every day, saying it would help reduce the hate he has for me. They said no matter how heartless or cruel he might be, he can't forever fight the mating pull, unless he rejects me. Those words feared me the most, though I've always wished he did, Linda made me understand how bad it would be for me. I would have to live with the stealer curse all my life and would never find anyone to love me, the hate from others would continue and such a frustrating situation might lead to death, that
