And that wasn’t the only thing that was changed, the bed sheets were also changed. ’Who changed ? It can’t be Damon right?’
My head hurts, in fact, everywhere hurts. I don’t even know what happened to not having sex with him. What happened to my will?... Well, it is just one night... I’ll take it as a one-night stand.
I pulled myself up to sit, every movent was like torture. ’Now I have only nine days to prepare for my escape.’ My gaze swept across the room, and the candles and the rose petals were nowhere to be seen. The room had returned to its normal boring state. Although it’s boring... I think I might miss it a little bit.
My stomach grumbled angrily. ’Why does it feel like I’ve been starving for weeks?’ I wrapped my arms around my stomach.
The entrance door to the room creaked open, and a figure with a huge fra stepped inside the room, I did not need to see his face to know who he was.
His raven black was slicked back, with a few strands falling over his face. His black eyes flickered with surprise before they returned to their normal coldness.
My chest tightened with mixed feelings, I didn’t know exactly what they were but they made my heart beat erratically. Every step he took closer made want to lt into the bedsheets.
"You are awake?" His voice was lower, like a soft hum.
"Yes... Master."
’Wasn’t supposed to?’
His gaze swept over before it stopped at my neck, and unreadable emotions flicked through his eyes.
He leaned closer, bending his back slightly. His hands caressed my cheeks, his thumb lingering on my lips before he pulled them away.
"You must be hungry..."
I nodded, cutting off his words. A smirk ford on his lips. "I’ll have soone bring so food for you. But before that, I need to put so bandages on your wound."
The space beside deepened as he sat close to . My fingers to the wound on my neck, I’ve been lost in thoughts wondering what it ant. Does he want to be his mate?
"Master... Why did you mark ?" I fidgeted with my hands, averting my eyes from his burning gaze.
"It is not a mark... it is a bite. I almost ripped your head off." He said nonchalantly as if he were discussing the weather.
My hands flew to my neck. "You wanted to rip my head off? Why?" I moved away from him. But before I could get further, he pulled back. I crashed into his chest.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance. "If I really wanted to do that, I don’t think you would still be here. And for soone who has slept more than a week, you look very energized."
My brain stopped functioning for a mont, then it rebooted again. ’What did he just say? I have been sleeping for more than a week. ?’
I looked up at him. "What do you an by I have been sleeping for more than a week? Was it not last night we did it?"
Damon sighed, he cupped my face. "No, this is the ninth day. I was surprised to see you wake up this early..." He said. "Was it because I didn’t go all the way with the marking?" He muttered under his breath.
"No, no, no. This has to be a prank." All my plans had been ruined... if I had been sleeping for nine days, then I was supposed to leave at midnight. But I haven’t made any plans with Caroline and Lydia. Which ans I’m stuck in this place.
"Relax, Ember." He pulled into an embrace.
My body stiffened. "Why are you hugging ? You didn’t even spend the night here."
"And how did you know that I have not spent the night here?" his voice dripped with amusent.
"So... You are going to mate with your Luna tonight. What about ? What about us?" I raised my head to look at him.
"You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll make sure she won’t be able to lay a hand on you. After all, I’m only mating with her because of the war. And as for you..." His eyes lingered on mine for a second longer. "... You are my pet."
’Fuck this man, he sure knows how to ruin things.’ I averted my gaze, my eyes slowly turned cold, losing their warmth.
"That is true, I am your pet. But I highly doubt your Luna would want to share you with , after all, we werewolves are very protective of our mates." My voice was emotionless.
My heart ached from disappointnt, and the fact that I couldn’t let go of him. He is not a prince charming, but I loved him even with his nurous flaws. At first, I thought it was because of his looks, but I realized it wasn’t... he just treated in a way no one has ever had.
Who wouldn’t love a man who would face the world, and kill anyone who hurts you? His actions are crude but there is love underneath those actions. I guess I was wrong.
A growl rumbled from his chest. "You are turning eighteen soon, will you leave for your mate?"
I looked at him, then I scoffed. "Of course, I’ll leave you for my mate. You don’t expect to leave my god sent mate for you, who is taking another mate."
Suddenly, the air grew tense, almost suffocating to breathe. "YOU ARE MINE." He snarled in my ears.
’Don’t burst my eardrum with your insecurity.’
I pulled away from his embrace, my voice trembling with emotions. "But that is the reality, you can’t eat your cake and have it."
"But you are my pet, I bought you. Even if you find a mate today, they can’t have you unless they go through first. And except he is stronger than , I highly doubt that he can win." His gaze darkened.
"If you want to have , you have to show that you want only."
