It had been two days since their stay at Bella's house. Since day one, it was harder for her to be around Damon as it seemed like Damon was hell bent on showing everyone in the pack that she was his. The only time she had been able to take a breath of relief was when he had gone out yesterday morning due to his work meeting and returned very late at night.  To welcome their relation, her parents were having to hold a party at their house to introduce the couple officially. Even though their relationship was fake, it made her feel like shit thinking how better it would have been if she were a werewolf, not a weakening. Maybe then Damon would have accepted her without any objections and this party would have been a happy one for her instead of a sad reminder of her disabilities. She looked down at her family that was busy in prepar

Liam saw the tears in Bella's eyes and knew that she was feeling very emotional. Everything that had happened in her life within the past few weeks had made her even more exhausted than she had been while fighting for her life within her own pack for being the weakling. As she finally broke down in sobs in front of him, Liam hugged her immediately. Renee looked at both of them as she took deep breaths to control her tears. She had missed him too much as well. It was so good to finally see him again."Why am I feeling like my fighting champion has turned into a tears machine now?" Liam joked and was immediately hit with Bella's fist in his stomach as she gave him a threatening look."You have become too strong." Liam groaned in pain, "Stop eating so much now at least.""You are the fatt

The next thing she heard was Liam's painful moan as Damon kicked him on his stomach again, making him curl up on the ground holding his stomach. Renee ran to Liam and covered him with her arms. Liam's eyes had started getting shut because of extreme pain and faintness but he still managed to glare at Damon in anger. Damon only smirked at Liam, showing him his superiority as he held Bella closer to himself possessively."You fucking bas..."The words had barely left Liam's mouth when Damon pushed Bella away from his hold and grabbed Liam by the collar of his shirt and made him stand up on his feet. Renee tried to come between them and hold Damon's arm but one jerk of his hand was enough to make Renee fall on the ground.He lifted his hand to punch Liam but Bella instantly grabbed his up

Damon did not react to her words. He could hear her thundering heartbeat. His gleaming gaze stared down at her silently before bending down and putting his lips on her cheek and asking in a low voice,  "Is it hurting too much?" Bella was confused immediately and shocked at his words. The way he said those words, it seemed like even though there was no regret in him for his actions, but there was a definite hint of concern for her. The words faded after a fraction of a second before he masked himself again and his lips slid to hers to kiss deeply. When he pulled back, his face had returned to the usual emotionless one as he ordered, "Go to sleep, otherwise I am not going to be able to control myself." Bella could only stare at him with a stunned gaze as tears slipped out of the

Bella clenched her eyes shut for a few seconds. She had now started to understand that he loved to play games, especially when it came to her, his wickedness crossed all bounds. She opened her eyes, and then with a blank expression took steps towards him. She knew it was going to hurt because the mate bond with Damon was getting stronger with each passing day. His every touch ignited her feelings and left her to burn but there was nothing else she could do except to follow his words. He made it impossible to have a way out. Damon saw the change in her expressions immediately. It was like she had given up on thinking anything in her mind completely. She was doing whatever he was saying like a puppet walking on strings without any protest. And it was making him angry. Just one step, one kiss from her was making her like this, making her look like she was dreading each step that she was ta
