As Bella walked down the stairs, her body was in literal shivers feeling Damon's gaze on herself. It was like she had some kind of sensor inside her body, making her feel the caress of his gaze on her whole body and knowing what his every gesture meant.
She knew that in his mind everything was about her right now. About his urges that he tried to hide behind those rude curtain of his eyes, showing everyone how unaffected he was while in reality, she could never believe that their mate bond was this weak.
But she did not want to appear weak in front of him, no matter how hard her body resisted. She was already too weak physically, not having any wolf inside of her. She was not going to let her feelings betray her as well. She needed him as far away from herself as possible.
Ignoring the
Bella blinked in shock for a couple of seconds before straightening her posture and realizing that Damon was indeed there, standing in front of her.At first, she was a bit scared but then she narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Are you following me?"Damon already looked pretty agitated. As soon as she asked the question, he spat, "What am I your dog? Following you around? In your fucking dreams!""Bastard." Bella turned her face away and muttered through suppressed breaths while trying to tame down the anger."What did you just call me?" Damon snapped.Bella turned her face back to meet his gaze but did not answer. Fucking werewolf hearing!
Damon's heart burnt at the sight, his fingers twitching and clenching in a tight fist, almost shivering in need to slam into something.His face was contracted in rage as he saw Bella's hands sliding on Neil's shoulder and her lips covering his. What he wanted to do was kill Neil. Right then and there. Snatch every breath of life out of him and shred his body to pieces. He could feel his wolf rising to the surface violently.Unable to watch the scene in front of his eyes, Damon turned away immediately and walked out of there without looking back. His whole body was on fire, in pure rage. As soon as he was out of Neil's house his wolf took over his human form and the next thing he knew, he was running through the dark woods for hours.*****
Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? The feeling that has you feeling like you are falling in a deep black hole, unable to move your limbs and unable to do anything but experience the moments filled with terror and hopelessness and frustration?As Bella stood stock still in her place, this was the exact feeling running through her veins. Her mind had gone numb in those moment, the voice around her fading into the dark depth of stillness, rendering her alone, speechless and in extreme shock. And even though there was a storm of stillness inside her, the sharp claws of pain gashed down at her heart relentlessly.Did he know what she was feeling? Had he done it on purpose?Roman stared at the young woman in front of him. He knew that the girl and his alpha had the bond that can not
Bella walked past the guests, excusing herself politely within the crowd as she made her way towards the area her eyes were stuck to. The A- lined white dress hugged her bosom beautifully and cascaded down to her upper thighs, making it easier for her to take long strides ahead. Her hair touched her naked shoulders, leaving a little tingle with each step that she took. The guests were oozing wealth from the clothes they wore, each one had a glass of champagne in their hand a smile on their faces. Ignoring everything and everyone, Bella made her way to the line of food that had been arranged for the guests to have. She grabbed her plate, filled it to her heart's content and turned around to sit on an empty table. It was not hard considering most of the guests were just standing around chatting with each other.
Bella rushed towards the washroom as her breaths became uneven and it became harder for her to breathe properly. She was not going to show him that today she had just lost something she did not even know she had inside her heart for him. Even though he had refused to accept her as his mate from day one, she could not believe that he had gotten engaged to someone else in front of her eyes. She felt like he had slapped her without touching her. As tears threatened to fill her eyes, she turned on the tap and splashed the water on her face until the cold had numbed her senses and she could not feel anything. Once she had better control over her breathing, she turned the tap off, patted her face with the tissue, reapplied her lipstick, and came out of the washroom. She had barely stepped outside when a hand shot out and grabbed her arm, pu
Bella woke up feeling extreme headache and dry eyes. Perhaps it was the effect of yesterday's events that was making her suffer this morning. As she thought about the engagement party, it left a foul taste in her mouth making her feel like she had swallowed something rotten.After freshening up, she dressed up and walked out of the room. She felt somewhat moved today. Angry, and frustrated, but determined.As she walked down the hall, she immediately found Damon chatting with his beta on the dining table. The diamond ring shined brightly on his finger.She came around the table and chose to sit on the chair that was right next to Damon, making his gaze follow her steps before shifting his attention back to Roman.Halfway through the b
"This one is fine." Bella picked up a Samsung mobile from the table, sliding away the apple one back towards the seller, and looked at Roman, "can we go to the college now? I am getting late."Roman paid for the phone and as soon as the set up of it was done, they walked out of the store."Is it necessary for you to drive Bently to drop me off?" Bella hesitated as she looked at the classy ride, "don't you have something like a Swift or any other normal car?"Roman turned his head to look at her, his eyes behind the black shades glowing under the sun, "what do you think my answer is going to be?"Bella rolled her eyes and slid in the passenger seat. Roman was just as frustrating as Damon. A bit less. But almost on the same level.
Bella was turning around to leave when her gaze fell upon the doorstep of the house,"Renee?"Bella's eyes widened in surprise while her lips spread into a wide smile at seeing her best friend standing there.Seeing her in front of her eyes, her eyes suddenly got filled with tears and she ran towards her, instantly taking her in a deep hug."Do you even know how much worried I was?" Renee scolded with a baby face, "your parents said you have found your mate so you left the pack when I came back home from the vacation. Your phone was not connecting and I was worried sick where you left without even telling me about it at all.""Sorry." Bella whispered, pulling back from the hug and pu
