~ Damon ~
The look in her eyes when I told her I would kill her nearly tore me apart. I had not meant to say those words. They slipped out before I could chain them back
The second they left my mouth, I regretted them, but regret did not erase the damage. Her face broke in front of me.
Her lips trembled. Her eyes widened with terror, betrayal, and disbelief. The bond dragged her fear straight into me and it carved me open like a blade.
I did not mean to hurt her in that way. I did not mean to shatter her with the weight of my threat. But the thought of her body reacting to my brother, even for a split second, filled me with such fury that I could not hold it back.
My brother. My twin. The man whose face mirrored mine, the one who had no right to breathe the same air as her, let alone provoke a reaction from her body. That truth poisoned me. It made me reckless.
My wolf’s voice growled inside me, dark and merciless. She is ours. Ours alone. No other man can touch her. No other man can pull a sound from her lips. Not even him. If she dares, if she falters, we will end her before we allow our bond to be tainted.
“Kitten,” I said, my voice dropping low as I forced every ounce of control I still had into it, “do not mistake me. I will never let you go. Not to him. Not to anyone.”
Her tears spilled over and her voice lashed back at me. “Then maybe you should destroy me right now, Damon, because you do not trust me. You do not trust me at all!”
She was right, and 1 despised her for being right. I did not trust her when his face stood in front of her. I did not trust the instincts that had betrayed her for a heartbeat.
I slammed my palm against the headboard beside her head and the wood cracked under the force. She jumped, her body curling inward, but her voice did not falter.
“I hate you,” she whispered, and the sound of it nearly finished me. “I hate you for even thinking I could want him. I hate you for making me feel dirty, for making me feel like I did something wrong when all I have ever done is want you. Only you, Damon. Always you.”
My wolf howled inside me, furious and desperate at once. She is telling the truth. She is yours. She has always been yours. Stop doubting her. Stop pushing her away. She does not belong to him. She belongs to us. Take her. Claim her. Make her remember.
But even as the truth rang through me, my anger did not die. It rose higher, clawing through me like fire. I grabbed her jaw,
forcing her face up so I could see every tear in her eyes. My thumb pressed against her pulse, feeling it race wildly under my hand.
“Do not ever say you hate me again. Do not even think it. We are already past hate, kitten. We are bound. You do not get to run from me. You do not get to spit those words into the air and expect me to let them live between us.”
Her tears glistened and her lips trembled, but even then I could feel the heat of her body, the undeniable pull of the bond, and the way my wolf thrashed for her.
I wanted to crush her mouth beneath mine until she drowned in the taste of me. I wanted to drive every memory of my brother’s face from her body until nothing remained.
My wolf surged forward, his voice louder than my own thoughts. Take her. Breed her until she forgets. Breed her until her body remembers only us. She is ours. She is whimpering for us. She needs to be reminded.noveldrama
Fuck The truth burned inside me like fire. I wanted to angry fuck her. I wanted to grab her by the waist and slam her down into these sheets until her voice was nothing but broken moans that carried my name.
I wanted to take her in a way that would erase every doubt from her mind, a way that would leave her body so ruined she would never mistake another man’s face for mine again.
But when I looked at her, when I saw the tears streaming down her cheeks, when I saw the way her chest rose and fell in shallow, broken breaths, something inside me twisted viciously.
My little kitten. I had made her cry. Not the kind of tears I love to see, not the tears of pleasure when she is shaking around me, begging me for more, but tears of pain. Tears born from my words. I had cut her, and now she was bleeding where I could l’l0t see.
My wolf ’s voice tore through me, demanding, punishing, ruthless. Fix this. Do not let her believe that lie. She is ours. We do not destroy what belongs to us. We claim it. We fuck the sadness out of her until she cannot breathe without us. Until she cannot think without us. Until she knows only us.
I ripped my shirt off, the fabric tearing as I dragged it over my head and tossed it aside. I let her see my body, every scar carved across my chest, every mark of the life I lived before her.
My voice dropped low, as I stared at her trembling against the headboard. “Come to Daddy.”
Her arms folded tightly across her chest, her body shaking as if she were holding herself together with nothing but willpower.
Her voice came out in tears, raw and fragile but strong enough to hit me where it hurt most. “No, Damon. I am not coming. You said you wanted to kill me.”
Those words pierced straight through me. She believed me. She believed the monster I had threatened her with.
My own mate, my own kitten, thought I would destroy her. The bond twisted, choking me with her grief until I could barely breathe.
I stepped forward, my chest heaving with the force of what I carried inside me, my cock already straining against my pants because anger and desire always lived side by side in me. Chapters first released on FindN0vel.net
“I am sorry, baby. I should never have said that. I lost control for a second and I let my rage speak for me. I will never kill you. I will never hurt you like that. You are mine. You are my mate. I swore to protect you, and I do not break my vows.”
