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
Damon brought Bella to a different room than last night. It was just a three doors away from Damon's, but she was thankful for the distance. She was surely not prepared to be in the near distance with him. He already affected her too much.This one had the cream shade on walls and interior, giving it the softest vibe possible. Her eyes scanned the room and came to rest upon the open closet. There were clothes hanging in there."You brought new clothes for me?" Bella whispered, staring agape at the line of the dresses and jeans hanging inside the big closet."Don't be stupid," Damon gritted nonchalantly, turning away from her and looking around the room, "You are nothing special to me. Why would I buy new clothes for you. These are some used ones from the pack members donations but stil
"Let go of my hands." Bella gritted, suddenly getting angry more than she wanted to be. His closeness was affecting her badly. She was already trying to stay away from him to create distance between them both, but he kept on bringing her closer, touching her at any chance that he could get like it did not affect him at all.Damon was glaring at her angrily. The thought of her trying to run away from him even after all that happened the previous day was infuriating him even more. How much did he need to make her understand event the smallest of things?"Where were you trying to run away to?" Damon snapped, leaving her wrist and pushing her away from his arms.Bella stumbled on her feet but managed to stay standing in front of him. Her wrist had turned red because of his tight hold
