~Damien Pov~ “I do not accept your rejection.” I pushed the door of my room in annoyance. No one has ever looked me in the eye and said a No, not even Bianca my fiancé. It was disturbing. Her eyes blared with hate and a tear at the corner of it. Something wasn’t right when I felt that. And it came from a weak wolf. A lowly omega! Glaring at me. I took off the crown and tossed it aside, I ruffled my dark creamy hair. I flopped on the chaise lounge. I was trying to think of a thousand reasons she do not want to accept my rejection. Nobody would want to be mated to a king like me, and I was older than her. Was I not terrifying enough? Isn’t she scared of me? Why? Why does she want to keep the bond? There were so many why? But not an answer, it was an answer I couldn’t get except from her. “She’s not a lowly omega, she’s our mate.” I scoffed at Dugan’s voice. “I do not want a mate...” I drawled. “But you’re getting married to Bianca.” Dugan snorts. “She
~Viola~ I woke up to the distant drip of water from somewhere deep within the room I was in, and it was dripping on my face. The air in here was thick and heavy with the scent of dampness and decay. I wiped them off and looked around me, I remembered I was thrown in here, but I didn’t know where this place was, now with the gruesome walls that are made of rough-cut stone, and the floors that are damp and slippery, covered in a layer of moss and grime. The only light comes from small, narrow slits in the ceiling, which barely allow any light to filter through.The instruments of torture are cruel and barbaric, including whips, chains, and spiked devices to inflict maximum pain and suffering.I was in his dungeon. The King’s dungeon. I don’t even know his name yet.I curled further into the wall with my back pressed against it. My throat felt sore, my eyes were blurry and I was hungry and cold. I wish he could let me out already. I promised not to go against him or talk back at hi
~Damien~I stood beside the window up until the early hours of the morning, watching the dark folded clouds as they paved away and let the sun creep out. The only thing that set me at ease was watching them. “Roland...” I called out deeply and shut the windows, the sun was rising and I could feel the rays on my skin. I spun around after shutting the windows strolled over to the bed and sat on it. “Yes, King Damien.” He came in the next minute, standing in front of me.“Get her out of the dungeon.” I heaved a sigh and crossed a leg over the other. He was unsteady in his feet and took his lips in and he lift his head slowly but didn’t meet my gaze. “But you said you won’t let her out, she’s a wolf, my King.” His head was bowed deeply. “...you mustn’t forget what the wolves did, why we never accept to be aligned with them.”“She needs to work, as my slave. There’s nothing to it and I won’t let you lecture me.” I said through gritted teeth. “But, King Damien...”“Enough!” I roared and
~Damien~I was pacing in front of the large rooms, with my hands behind my back, the servants lined beside the wall uniformly with their heads deeply bowed. They must not lift their head except I told them to.“Nobody is telling what’s happening, Damien?” Bianca flopped down on an empty couch with a frown. “I left for the weekend and the pack is in hassles, this has never happened before, the pack has been peaceful and Damien you...” I stopped pacing with a side glance at her, she bite down a retort. “You haven’t changed.” She grumbled, I ignored her, she was the least of my problem at the moment. “Did you miss me?” She grinned from ear to ear and stood up from the couch. “I know you do, I’m your little princess ain’t I? I missed you so much, Damien.” She kept on rasping with a broad smile on her face. “So when am I gonna be the Queen?”“Do not annoy me.” I was flippant, the smile fades off into a smirk. “I have forgotten who you are,” She went back to the couch and sat down wi
~Viola~“Blow me...”He wasn’t any different from Cranon. I never thought he was gonna say that to me and force me just the way Cranon did. I thought finding my mate would be different. I thought I would get to live differently, that was why the tears came out. I was scared that he was gonna inflict pain on me when I was accused of letting the ladies out and called a spy. Roland did beats me, I know he hated me at first glance, and not just him, most of the pack members stared at me with disgust. I had no idea they had a plan to escape from the Harem. They were afraid of Damien and probably has been planning their escape for a long time. “...He’s one of the most dreadful kings ever in this world, do you think you can stay and serve such a man. His eyes are clouded with darkness, not a glint of warmth. You’re still young, run while you can, or else you would face the same end as everyone who served Damien.” Bee had said to me when I told her I was the King’s slave. “He killed h
~Damien Pov~“Rogues to the east.” I got a mind link from one of the warriors at the borders. “Where are you, Lucas?” I growled through the mind link.Perfect timing, it was almost midnight. “He’s not here.” “On my way.” I mind link back seething, grabbed a black jacket from the rack, and wore them.“Where are you?” I called Lucas through the mind link and told him to meet me at the borders. Anger comes off my body in waves. I hate that we were being disturbed. Turning into my Lycan form while I was deep in the woods, my bones breaking with a cracking sound, Dugan takes control of me. I roared in the woods. I could smell the blood around me, I snarled threateningly. Rogue wolves. I caught one trying to run, how dare they step foot in my land and think they can live? Dugan grins at the cowering rogues, taking a sharp leap and instantly ripping his throats out with a single bite from Dugan.With my large paws now on the dead rogues, I saw Lucas and the warriors turning up. “Clea
~Viola~ It’s been a long time, I smiled genuinely and I was smiling at the thought of my father, the memories we had together, sitting outside our balcony late at night. Cranon did not let me out, I was always locked in, working late in the house, and doing chores that never ends, I had forgotten how bright the sky was at night, and how the moon shimmered. There was hope, maybe the moon goddess would hear my prayers this time. I was taken back to the dungeon and Damien left, I sat down on the empty spot with my legs up to my chest. The sun was up, and the rays were peeping through the small openings.I hope Lucas finds her, I wished Mom was alive since her body was never found over the years. I had to hope on it, that she would be somewhere safe. “...not as beautiful as you.” I felt my cheeks heat up, I don’t know if he said that to me or if I was hallucinating but I heard those words and my ear rings when I did.“Don’t go giddy yet” Lana snorts. “You’re awake now, ms wolf?”“I
~Damien Pov~“Damien...I’m right here.” The high pitch voice sounded elated and was smiling brightly. “Damien!” The voice had become distant with terror and hurt and unbearable pains and writhing in agony. “Damien!” Covered in blood the voice cried out as if stabbed forcefully with a blunt knife, it was shrilling. “Damien...!” Until he heard the voice no more and faintly but stuck in his head, he was lost in the woods running in search of the voice but was covered with nothing but emptiness. “No!” “No! No!” I jerked up from the couch, drenched in perspiration, my chest was racing, and I wrapped my hands around myself. “It’s just a dream, Damien,” I said out loud. “Just another dream.” I breathed out and turned on the light taking in several deep breaths. I felt tears at the side of my eyes and wiped them off it must have come up when I lay down. I was having a pounding headache. I didn’t know when I slept off on the couch, I remembered I was working on a project and maybe tha
