Heart Of A Beast

~RINA~

If I wasn’t scared of Damien before then I am when he burst into the room a few minutes later in a loud animalistic voice, I took a step back as he stand at the entrance of the door staring at me like a big cat calculating the steps of a mouse.

A gasp left my throat when he begin to walk towards me, this isn’t my Damien, the fact that his eyes were pitch black was enough to tell me that-for the first time in forever he was showing me his vampire side.

I shivered unable to find the words to explain to him that I needed time. “Damien… Listen to me” I choked out as my back hit the wall.

“You don’t fucking disobey your Alpha!” His wolf growled underneath the vampire.

For the love of the goddess, what was I supposed to do in this situation? I know Damien would never hurt me but right now I’m not so sure.

“Damien please calm down, I need you to calm down first then we can talk about this” I pleaded reaching for him and hoping my touch would be able to calm him down.

“Don’t fucking touch me! I want you to get ready and prepare for your Luna ceremony and that final” He stated arrogantly.

Is he for real? Who the fuck does he think I am? His subjects? I’m so sick and tired of him bossing me around and telling me how to act! Something in me snapped, I glared back at him staring into his eyes in her open challenge which I would never have done, something was taking over me and I don’t know what it was, at that moment I didn’t care if his beast snap and put an end to my fucking life.

“Listen to me, Damien! I’m not your subject! I’m your Luna, you cannot treat me like a freaking servant do you hear me? I need time and you are going to give me that” I reported with a toss of my head.

Next Damien grab me like he wanted to squeeze the hell out of me, his eyes were changing from gold to black then to blue, he was losing control. God help me! I have never seen this side of Damien before, for a breathless moment I thought he would kill me.

Then he dropped me, his eyes still pitch black before he slammed his fist against the wall behind me.

“I hate to be disobeyed!” He growled in his Alpha tone before stalking out of the room, I stood there shocked not quite believing that Damien would ever hurt me.

Apart from that, I sense a stranger in him, a strange I haven’t sense yet and it makes me so fucking afraid of him, I was still shivering in fear but gathering my scattered thoughts about it, I particularly run to Drake workshop in hopes of finding him.

When I burst through his door, he jumped startled before playfully glaring at me with his arms folded.

“Geez, Rina you scare the hell out of me! Why are you running around?” He asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Oh shut up! So you can feel the pace of my steps from the castle?” I don’t think that was possible but from the way he looked at me, I could tell it was.

“Is something wrong?” His expression turned serious which was absolutely what I need now.

“Yes. Something happened between Damien and me today” I blushed a little! *God! How could I possibly be thinking about sex at this moment?*

“Please spare me the details Luna” He gave me a bow while grinning, I just rolled my eyes at him.

“Drake be serious! Damien almost hurt me a while ago” I blurted which made him freeze.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“He tried to what? – are you sure you’re not interpreting his emotions wrong? Now that you’re mated I get you to feel each other pain and happiness… ” He trailed off.

“I’m not. Just before Damien came in, I felt a slight pain in my stomach, then when I told Maya a servant girl to inform Damien I wasn’t ready yet. He got so furious he almost squeeze me. I haven’t been scared of him even when I saw his Demon! But at that moment I shivered in fear. But when I challenge him, he sorts of calms down a bit and walks away. His eyes were so dark, so black, I thought it was his vampire” I explained watching the expression on his face.

“This is very confusing. Damien never showed his authority on you. He never showed you his Alpha side… I mean the aggressive Alpha side” Then he looked scared for a moment.

“Drake talk to me! I’m getting scared” I cried out.

“Rina….” He trailed off with a fearful look on his face.

Someone knocked on the door interrupting the intensity of the moment, a few seconds later Daniel poke his head into the room looking at both of us.

“Daniel! Do come in at once” Drake commanded.

“Of course I’m in” Daniel replied stepping deeper into the room.

“Tell me have you noticed anything strange about Damien in the last few hours? I mean after he marked Rina… wait… mark” Drake murmured spurning me around.

Then he stared at the still fresh mark on my neck, it wasn’t that painful again.

“What is it,” I asked worriedly, this suspense was killing me and I wanted to punch Drake so bad as he examine the spot on my neck why Daniel stared at us curiously.

“To answer your question yes, He seems to kill more rogues faster than usual, he’s being grumpy and ordering around. Maybe he’s just in a bad mood” Daniel answered.

“Bad mood after marking his mate? I think not. It’s something that makes every werewolf happy” Drake chuckled.

*Just because you’re a pity Luna* Maya’s words rung unpleasantly in my ears.

“Wait! Does that mean Damien doesn’t want me again after marking me?” I tried not to burst into tears.

“Of course not dear” Daniel consoled me since Drake has shifted his attention on a book he was furiously flipping over.

“Guys… bad news” He finally muttered.

“What do you mean?” I am almost panicking now.

“Turns out Damien’s wolf isn’t an ordinary wolf. It’s a Lycan. When Damien mark you, it triggers the beast in the wolf turning him fully into a Lycan. Lycan are killing machines Rina, they take pleasure in killing, they are aggressive and dangerous. When you challenged him, you tamed him for the moment. Lycans chance at having mate are rare because they end up killing their mate in anger, they are dominating” Drake explained.

Panic shot through me, I almost fainted but Drake caught me before I could land on the floor.

“You can tame him Rina but you may lose your life while trying to do so. The question is… are you brave enough to tame the Beast?” Drake asked.

*Are you brave enough to tame the Beast?* The question echoed.
