I decided to go with the later. He must be worried. I was his mate after all. But I was also stubborn.
"Your name." I asked.
He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and then said, "Damon Black. Alpha of Golden Lining Pack."
Breath left out of my body so fast I thought I was going to die of shock.
He was the alpha of Golden Lining Pack?
I had heard about him. As the tales and talks travelled through pack to pack, about who was getting stronger and which pack was breaking down, it was very important for us to keep track of the things happening inside our world.
And boy, was he famous?
Actually he was the strongest of them all. And I am not saying this just to brag or anything but I had heard that he was the True Alpha.
Now see, normally alphas were descendent of previous alphas, like their son or daughter. But a True alpha was one who had broken down his boundaries as a lower ranked werewolf and rose to Alpha position with his own great will power.
He was the one. The True alpha.
"I am.. Bella." Just Bella. Nothing more. Probably nowhere near someone that you actually deserve. Someone that you actually wanted.
His eyes came back to me. Then unexpectedly, he came close to me and touched my cheek softly. Right where I was hurt by Jax.
Instead of pain, his feather light touch sent shivers down to my spine. Making me feel tingly in all the wrong places.
"Bella," He said softly, "I can not be your mate."
And that is when the tale of my breakdown started.
****
I smiled at him. I Did not cry. Did not beg. I did not ask any questions.
I smiled. I nodded. I turned around. And then I left. Without a word.
I wanted to ask, why. I wanted to know what I did not have that irked him. I had two hands, two legs, one mouth, one vagina between my legs, what more did he want?
Was it not enough? Or was it just too low of the price for me to be your majesty's mate?
I was angry. Very, very, very angry. So angry that I wanted to turn around and kill him.
Probably he had gotten a hint of what I was. Of what I lacked as a werewolf. Or probably it was just my face that he did not like. Whatever his reasons were, I did not deserve that.
He did not talk to me. He did not ask to get to know me. He did not give a reason to me. He just said I can not be your mate.
Fine, I told myself as I walked away from him while trying desperately to not look back, You are fine. It is not your fault. None of this is your damn fault!
I will be the strongest. I will act like the strongest werewolf of them all. I will show them I can live without a mate.
What if he did not want me? There were thousands of boys out there who did.
He was not the last one left of the male species after all.
A few hours ago |Damon's Side of StoryThe dimly lit room was filled with silence. Shivers ran down in everyone's spine as the dangerous aura radiating from the monster striding inside filled the room.His every footstep was like a predator stalking its prey. Arrogance was oozing out of him while a dangerous smirk was covering his lips. His eyes went to the person sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, sweating and shivering profusely.He smirked upon realising his effect on the people present in the room. This is what he craved.Fear.After all, he was Damon Black.He came closer to the person who was sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by at least ten other men. He grabbed the chair placed in front of his prey and sat down. While staring rudely at the man in front of him, his captivatingly dangerous gaze made the man gulp his saliva in fear."Alpha, the trace of leaked informa
She ran away without answering him. But he did not need an answer.He stood dumbstruck at the exact same spot for a few more minutes. The thought, the feeling of finding a mate was completely different from what he had planned.This was never what he had expected to feel. This is not what he wanted to feel.Because he had already decided, he was never going to mate. He was never going to end up like his parents. But the sudden blast of uncontrollable feelings and emotions had rendered him speechless.A couple of minutes later he forced himself to shrug off everything that had gripped his throat in a choking hold and came back to reality.Why had she run?And God, she was bleeding.He walked to his car and could not help himself from slamming his fist down on the hood in frustration and regret.He was not able to push back the thought of her running away from him. He was not able to gulp down his anger at him
I did not think, I did not wait, I did not even care about what she would think about me. I stormed forward, grabbed the collar of the motherfucker by the neck from behind, and snatched him away from her. The idiot instantly stumbled back, but I did not give him a chance to process what was happening. I lifted my hand and slammed my fist in the fucker's face with just enough force to not kill a human. The man in front of me was stronger than I had thought because he turned around instantly to land a punch. But he was overpowered by me. My fist landed again and again on him, hitting him with a stronger force than the last one. The man getting pummeled by me tried to dodge my attack and land his own fist but there was no chance in hell I was going to let him. Suddenly the girl that I had hit with my car, my mate, came between us. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?" She shouted while managing to squeeze in between me and the human idiot. And t
Bella's POVI returned home. I did not have enough power left inside my body to bear anymore situations today. My body, my heart, my mind, everything was in pain and suffering. And my first day of college had also gotten ruined.When I entered inside, thankfully my parents were not present. To my luck, Kaylie, my older sister was also not at home. Probably out learning another new thing, duh.My parents were doctors. They treated humans and werewolves both. Well, actually in werewolf world, werewolf doctors were not allowed to treat human patients.But because of my 'condition' nobody outside our pack was ready to get treated from us, because they feared my 'disease' will infect them as well and they will become non-werewolf like me.Well, it was okay. It did not matter much since my parents were happy with day to day earnings. Though we were not super rich. We were also not begging on the roads for each penny. And Kaylie, she was
"He... he.. " I hiccoughed between the tears, "He said he can not accept me as his mate."My mother's hand stilled in my hairs for a second, but it was just for that one second.Her hand resumed caressing my hairs once again.She did not assure me, she did not accuse me, she did not ask for any elaboration or explanation. She just removed her hand and knelt down in front of me on her knees to come face to face with me."So what?" She asked."Mom." I whispered through tears."Honey," my mom replied while her hand lifted up to wipe the tears off my face, "Has there ever been a moment that we taught you to be weak?""I know!" I insisted with choked throat, "It just... it just does not feel right in my heart.. you know."I dropped my head to hide my tears away from her."It will get better." She touched the side of my face and caressed softly, "If he is not the one. Then he was never meant to be the one. Everything hap
I got off the bus while cursing my fate in my head so hard, God would have contemplated changing my kismet in sympathy or anger. Now there was not just one blunder waiting ahead of me in my life today. There was a whole freaking mass of it.I quickly crossed the road and entered inside the college premises. There were young guys and girls strutting and walking in every direction.My eyes searched for only one person.And for the first time since my birth, I regretted not having the ability of a stronger scent sense. Because if I had that, I would have been able to smell him from a hundred miles away. Right now I could not recognize his scent even in a few feet radius of my college."Why you have to be so cruel to me all the time?" I looked up at the sky and begged for mercy.But God had some other plan."What are you praying for?" A voice whispered in my left ear.I instantly jumped in surprise and moved a few steps away. Jax was stan
To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. I was not shocked. I was freaked out of my damn mind. And I was so freaked out that I did not even struggle when his lips landed on mine. I stayed stock still like a statue as his lips captured mine in a deep kiss.As soon as my head registered what had happened, I pushed at his chest with all the power in me to throw him off my body. Thankfully this time, my slightly stronger strength stayed with me and helped me.After that damn kiss, I wanted to throw up. Because I felt weird. Super weird.And it was not just an uncomfortable feeling or confusion or lack of desire. It was the pain that hit me so hard that it almost blinded me. Not only physical pain, but emotional as well as the feeling of betrayal.And I knew what it was. Why I was feeling like I had committed the biggest sin possible for a living being on earth. My mate bond with Damon was the cause of this feeling. I could not get close to any ma
Damon's POV"What do you want to do next?" Roman asked me.I stared at him for about five seconds. Contemplating if what I was about to do was right or wrong. But this was it. I could not pretend that she did not matter anything to me. Especially not after what I had seen at the first day only."Have her followed." I ordered Roman. "Make sure that everywhere she goes, every step she takes, every breath that she takes is counted."Roman nodded his head without asking any question. He knew I had not given him the right to ask anything. He started to walk away. I called out his name again."And Roman," he turned around to face me while I continued,"Make sure that whoever you are appointing does not touch her in any circumstances nor does he know what she is to me."A small smirk formed on Roman's lips for some reason. But before I could rip him one he immediately went out of the room.Now the only thing I could d
