Chapter 133
Damon
“It’s not a problem, I’m healing already.” I forced a smile, trying to convince her that I was alright when I felt the opposite.
My jaws tightened as the burning from the hot coffee went straight to my brain, causing my hand to sting painfully.
She frowned in displeasure before pain flashed before her eyes.
She knew I was lying.
She could feel part of my pain, thanks to mate bond.
I followed her exhausted eyes that trailed from the spilled and broken cups and plates to the cabinet.
A weary sigh rolled off from her lips as she hissed in annoyance.
I was going to make her repeat breakfast the second time.
I was a jerk, and my presence screwed things up.
“It’s not a problem, I can clean the kitchen and fix a quick breakfast in the blink of an eye. You wouldn’t even notice that anything happened,” I flashed a nervous smile, hoping to impress her, but the frown on her face deepened, expressing her anger for wasting her effort.
Maybe if I had stayed behind, this wouldn’t have happened.
“I’m sorry.” I blurted, shunning the urge to crowd her with my body.
I couldn’t remember the last time I said sorry.
I was an arrogant king who never apologized to anyone.
To me, sorry was for weaklings, and I was not a weakling.
But I didn’t mind becoming a weakling for Aurora.
My heart clenched painfully the moment she hissed before storming out of the kitchen in anger.
Not even the pain I felt on my arm could be compared to one radiating in my heart.
Helpless and hopeless, my body slumped to the ground like a lifeless log of wood as tears clouded my eyes.
I let it out.
I had been playing tough guy for too long.
Sobbing quietly with my hands clasped over my head in regret, I sat against the island brawling my eyes out.
Satisfied after several minutes of crying, I proceeded to pick up the broken pieces of the cups and plates that littered the floor.
I trashed them into the waste bin and cleaned the floor where the coffee spilled.
A sad smile crept on my face as my eyes swept the spotlessly clean area.
When all was in place, I opened my mindlink to receive incoming messages, especially the news on Rosa’s whereabouts.
Rosa. The evil mistress.
I still found it to believe the atrocity she committed while pretending to provide emotional support.
I couldn’t believe I was a fool. My rash and hasty decisions blinded me to see who she truly was.
A pathetic liar and a deceiver.
After killing my pregnant mate, she wanted to repeat the cycle with my second-chance mate.
How dare she?!
Thank goddess her evil plans were exposed before it was too late.
I couldn’t wait to make her life a living hell.
“Why is it taking you so much time to find that bitch?! Bring her to me already,” I groaned impatiently as my hand balled into a fist.
I felt like ripping her apart, limb from limb.
For hurting those that I love, I would make her pray for death, but she won’t be getting it so fast. She would watch in horror how her body would rot before her eyes and her beast would feast on her while she was still alive.
Excitement coursed through my veins as my killer mode was activated.
“My King…” The voice dropped and so was my excitement.
I knew what it meant. Rosa was still hidden.
“There is still…no sign but we will get her. I’ve deployed more men to look for her. I announced…to the other packs to alert us once she is caught. Please …my king, exercise a little…patience,” he said breathless in fear.
“You incompetent fool!” I growled in anger, gritting my teeth as my blood boiled. “I give you 72 hours or you will lose your rank as my Gamma,” I threatened, blocking the mindlink before I received more annoying reports.
I didn’t have enough time to control my anger when the door opened to reveal Aurora with a box in her hand.
Without saying a word, she placed the box on the island, grabbed my hands before examining it closely.
The moment our hands connected, I felt the familiar sparks resurfaced, spreading through my body rapidly.
Reluctantly, she pulled me over to the sink, stretching my hand into it as she turned the tap.
The cool water calmed the stinging sensation, making me heave a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, but you don’t have to worry about me. I’m healing already.”
She shot me an aggressive look screaming ‘Shut up already!’
It was as if I could hear her speak.
“Yes, ma’am.”
After five minutes, she withdrew my hands from the water, turning the tap off before taking me to the island.
She dabbed a clean towel over my bruised hand, blowing it carefully so it could get dried.
Her breath against my skin caused a tingling feeling to spread through me.
I could feel the length of my already hard shaft doubled as I started to lose concentration.
The atmosphere between us was tense as our closeness affected my composure.
My senses heightened at every touch of her skin against mine.
Goosebumps blanketed my body as her fingers performed magic in me.
It was only a matter of time before I lost it and pinned her against the wall with her lips buried in my mouth.
My breath grew harsh as every second went by.
To my wildest surprise, she drew me by my shirt and pulled me into a passionate kiss.
Everything happened so fast. I let my emotions consume me by deepening the kiss that I longed for.
My tongue delved into her mouth hungrily, exploring every corner before I took her lips into mine.
Unable to resist the urge, I pulled her body into mine, flipping positions and pinned her underneath me.
I couldn’t help but moan the moment the tip of my tongue connected with mine.
“What the hell is wrong with you!” An angry voice yelled.
It was Aurora’s.
The kiss was my imagination.
Fuck.
“Get yourself together or I leave!” she threatened with a deep frown plastered on her face.
Those were her first words to me in weeks.
A part of me was pleased to hear her voice while a part of me cringed in shame.
Mortified, I looked down, avoiding her eyes.
I hated that she heard me moan.
Clinging desperately to a tiny shred of concentration, I blocked the sexual thoughts off my head while focusing on her treatment.
She applied an ointment carefully, blowing air to spread it across the bruised surface. When she was done, she covered the spot with a bandage, arranged her stuff into the box and left the kitchen without sparing a look.
I missed her touch against my skin.
Silence reigned as I decided to remain in the kitchen without bothering her.
After spending half an hour reflecting on my past moment with her, I walked out, allowing my legs to take me anywhere aside from my bedroom.
I hadn’t gone far when giggles and moans filled my ears.
The familiar sweet scent assaulted my nose, making my body grow tense.
Trailing Aurora’s arousal, I met myself in Devin’s room.
Surprise swept through me as Aurora, Devin and Dax came into view.
Both men looked like they were about to devour her hungrily.
They launched at her, sucking her erect nipples. Devins fingers slipped into her pants, rubbing her clitoris.
Pleasure washed over her as she bit her lips, pressing Dax’s head against her boobs.
“Can I join the party?” I asked in excitement, rubbing my palms together with a smile on my face.
“Yes…” Dax’s words were interrupted by a loud hiss from Aurora.
Angrily, she pulled away from them, adjusting her clothes before walking past me and slamming the door of the room shut.
“Did I do anything wrong?” I asked, shooting my brothers a worried look.
“Seems you still have a lot of apologies to make. Good luck, brother,” Devin said while Dax patted my shoulders.
I watched them in silence as they wore their clothes with flushed faces.
“Better luck next time.” Dax said, patting my shoulder before he and Devin exited the room, leaving me alone.
I stormed out of the room in blinding anger, chasing after Aurora who ran along the corridor.
I caught up with her, yanking her hand out of frustration and pinning her against the wall so she had no escape route.
“You did that because of me right?”
My voice shook with anger.
“Not now,” she replied in an uncovered tone, looking away from me.
“What else do you want? I have apologized, knelt, cried, brought you flowers, slept in front of your door begging from dusk till dawn, yet you wouldn’t even spare me a look. I get that you are still mad at me, but you can’t be mad at me forever.” I flared, determined to pour out my mind.
“Get out of my face, Damon!” she yelled, struggling to push me, but my large hands grabbed both of her hands and pinned them high against the wall.
“I will stay!” I flared, my voice reverberating throughout the corridor. “I don’t care if you push me away, I will stay with you because I love you and I’m deeply sorry,” I broke down, releasing her hands from my grip.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I watched them fall to her side.
“Tell me what to do to make you know that I care about you. I don’t care what it is, I’ll do it. I just want you back.”
“Please don’t push me away…again.” I carried her hands gently caressing it before pressing it against my chest with my eyes tightly shut.
I could feel tears threatening to drop.
My heartbeat increased at her touch against my skin.
“Please, don’t hate me.” I leaned on her, causing her back to rest against the wall while sobbing softly.
“I just want you back. I want us back, Aurora.”
“You’ll do anything to get me back?” She asked, looking deeply into my eyes.
“Anything.” I affirmed.
I didn’t care what it took.
“Since I’m no longer your property and I’m now your mate, I want freedom. I want to see my parents again,” she broke. Her eyes glowed in sadness as she swallowed.
“Done. You shall see your parents tomorrow. When you are back, our mating ceremony will take place.”
