"What?" She asked as confusion filled her voice for a few minutes. And just as the realization hit her, she started to struggle harder to get out of my hold,
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" She shouted, "How do you even know what happened at my college?"
It was getting harder for me to control myself from pulling her underneath me and ravish her until she is left breathless and hungry for more. But for the time being the anger was simmering over my heart, heating and burning me with the thought of her being together with someone that is not me.
I bent my mouth down to her ear and whispered,
"I know a fuck lot about you, baby. More than you realize and more than you can even imagine."
This is what I wanted to hear from her. This longing, this confession, this desperate need to get as close as possible to each other, I wanted it all. But things would not be the same once she got to know about what kind of monster I was.So before she could get a chance to break me by leaving, before she could rip out my heart out with her words and leave me alone with a broken bond of fate, I am going to rip her away from me."I do not love you." I said to her with seriousness, "I can not accept you as my mate."Bella winced at my words like a physical blow had hit her. And I hated myself for it. I hated to see the hurt that filled her eyes and I hated the pain that filled her heart.I hid the agony that was flowing through me with a neutral, cold expression and continued speaking. Although her small frame was shaking softly into my arms, she did not try to escape them. It was the only thing that gave me the strength to utter the next words aloud,
A dark cloud of doubt covered my vision. Who was the man on the other side of the door that freaked Bella so much?She quickly grabbed her shirt and slipped it over her head, covering her body and tried to drag herself out of my arms while frantically wiping the tears off her face. Just as she tried to slip out I tightened my hold on her waist and penetrated her with an angry glare,"Who is outside your door this late?" I gritted angrily as her body struggled against my hold."For fucks sake keep quiet for a second!" Bella snapped in a whispering tone."Bella?!" The man outside the room called out again. Bella's restless gaze swung to the door.I growled as my wolf became frustrated
Bella's POV I could not believe what just happened. I was seriously trying so hard to understand the difference between anger, stubbornness and batshit crazy. When I did not have a mate, despite of my mind reminding me of my weaknesses over and over and over again, in a corner of my heart I had hope. A tiny ray of sunshine that whispered, don't worry. Your mate is going to be the most amazing thing that ever happens to you. It is going to be magical, beautiful, happy and erotic. Damon had broke my heart and literally pummeled it into the ground under his feet when he had refused to accept me as his mate. But after seeing the way he reacted to me, to my touch, to my existence, I wanted to give him a chance to think again, to try and piece together the puzzles in his
My eyes went back and forth between Damon and the stormy haired man in confusion. I was trying to understand what was happening. What people had Damon revealed himself too?One thing I knew for sure was that it was strictly forbidden for us to reveal ourselves to the people outside our world, i.e. humans. And Damon breaking that rule was a HUGE deal.Damon's jaw clenched tight in anger. I had expected for him to lash out or freak out in anger but there was no apparent change in him. Most of all, he looked frustrated."How much time do we have, Roman?" Damon grumbled while throwing the towel down on the dark wood dresser with a life size mirror."They are already here, alpha." Roman grimly replied. His face clearly implied he was not h
"This is the girl?""Why is she here?""What is she doing here?""The end is here."Numerous voices were doing a pretty bad job at whispering in a low tone while trying to slip back, far away from me like I was contagious."What the fuck is wrong with all of you?!" Damon blasted in anger as his burning eyes raked everyone in the room with disdain, "What the hell are you talking about."Some other pack alphas nodded in Damon's direction, like they were also unaware of pack alphas were talking or acting about."You committed a grave mistake by inviting us here, Damon." Alpha Peter se
"Anyone has got anything else to say?" Damon smiled as his face returned back to human but the yellow fire burning underneath his gaze remained the same, ready to take anyone under its heat if they made a move.The room was deathly quiet. Except for the sounds of harsh breathing, and ticking sound of the wall hanging watch, the room was pin-drop silent.I wiped the blood dripping down from my nose to my mouth with the back of my hand as I struggled to breathe. I was terrified. I did not know what to say, what to do except for to sit idle and not make a move to ignite the anger burning through Damon's veins towards me."THIS MEETING IS FUCKING OVER! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY TERRITORY EACH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS RIGHT NOW!" Damon roared without caring about any respect or fear for anyth
Minutes passed, probably hours. Bella slowly started to calm down. The fear inside her chest started to dull. Damon held her close, keeping her in his arms, not doing anything, not saying anything, he just held her close.Once Bella was sure that she was not going to freak out and run, she started to straighten and get off his lap. His arms tightened, refusing to let her get away."Damon." Bella murmured softly, "I am okay."His eyes dropped low to come upon her. The monster inside him had retracted, now only Damon's human part was there and honestly, she was kind of relieved, she did not think she would ever have been able to face his wolf right now."You ran, I am going to kill you." Damon said with utmost sincerity.
Bella woke up to find herself tangled in the sheet, alone. She was in the clothes that she had slept in the previous night. Disappointment filled her instantly even when she did not want to. Damon's scent was all around her, in the sheet and in the room as well. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she slipped out of the bed. Awkwardly she peeked in towards the bathroom, but it was unlocked and open, which meant Damon had already left the room.She went inside and washed her face. She did not have a toothbrush so she had to just rinse her mouth with water to get rid of the nasty morning breath. She walked out of the room, still in her shorts and the crop top. At home, she did not feel weird in those clothes. But at an unknown place like this, she could not help but feel self-conscious.The whole house was silent. The house was big b
