~Unknown pov~
There’s a mask o my face, I was seated on a throne with a glass of red wine in my hands but not taking a sip from it. I was the only one in the empty room it was filled with cobwebs and dust.
But I did not mind.
Soon, it would be over.
Damien Thorne, I’ll be coming for you and make you regret what you did.
I turn the glass and empty the contents on the marble floor, making the red wine look like blood in my eyes.
Soon, there would be a bloodbath.
Nobody would be spared but there’s a missing puzzle to help me with my mission when I get that.
Ha ha
Damien!
You will see blood falling from your eyes and unable to wipe them off.
I will tear you apart!
I’ll make you pay Damien!
This is just the beginning, this time you’ll lose!
“Wait and see, it won’t be long now.” I crossed my legs over the other, staring at the dark dusty room with a scrunched face.
I had stumbled against this place, I was everywhere, like the wind moving in the woods, you don’t know where it’s going or when it’s coming.
I’ve been waiting, planning, and preparing for my revenge on the mogul Lycan, and this would be his end.
“Watch me play the game, Damien, ha ha ha.”
I shake my head at the sound of the echo of my laughter which sounded like a hyena in the building.
“Aish that’s not how I sound.” I took the bottle of wine at my side and smashed them against the wall, staining the wall with red wine.
“Let’s play the game.”
~Viola~
I feel tingles every time Damien was close to me, my skin would prickle strangely and my face goes red like a tomato.
Damien might have the reputation of a fearsome king, but I know there’s the other side of him, that’s sweet, calm, and loving. The side he hardly shows off.
He was always in a lip-tight smile or a frown.
But now I could smile remembering how he touches me and pulls me close to him.
I have to make Damien falls in love with me before he makes Bianca his Queen.
The witch has been quiet, I would have preferred if she yells at me or shout at me or hits me than saying nothing at all.
Well, I shrug my shoulders.
I shouldn’t care.
Damien was all I care about, as long as my mate is giving me some attention, every time he looked at me is strange. He stared deeply into my eyes. But Damien was older than me, I couldn’t count how old he was, I haven’t found out about his age yet.
I was taking a walk around the pack, it’s a beautiful day today. Everything is so quiet and peaceful.
Heading down the trail I noticed a lot of houses, I wondered how many pack members lived here, maybe five thousand or more?
How big is this place?
I heard a large group of men angry voices, and growling. I stood walking and looked around there was no one in sight.
Then I heard the growling sound again, I hasten to my feet and did a little run past the spot I was hearing their voices.
My stomach twist in dread and I tried to steady my heart rate.
The sound stopped when I was further away, a few people were walking around with their families, I walked over to the fountain and there was a statue of a huge wolf.
First King Of The Crimson Empire.
Blake Hammock Thorne 1409-1610
I remember father had something like this in our pack but it was a statue of my grandfather.
“Where are you?” The voice made me jerk up from my stand. I looked behind me, there was nobody there or at my side. But I was getting weird stares and glances.
“Why did you leave the house?” The voice came up again, in my head, strange I was hearing Damien’s cold voice.
“Hey!” He snapped.
“Damien?” I called his name but soon realize my mistake.
I covered my mouth with my hand. He was talking to me through the mind link.
He was looking for me?
“Damien?” He called after me with disbelief in his voice.
“I’m sorry.” I bowed my head as if he was in front of me.
Fuck!
“Where are you?”
“I went for a walk, I’m in town.”
“Town?!” He drawled.
“Yes.” I pursed my lips with a small pout. I had gone a long way.
“Where are you in town?” He growled deeply.
“Erm, at the center, there’s a fountain and I was about to check out a museum.”
“Are you on a tour Viola?” I froze when I heard my name coming from his lips. Damien called my name!
I was gonna freak out! My head was dizzy with delight, it felt so good, I never knew my name sounded so sexy.
“I’ll be right there, you shouldn’t be walking around the packed town!”
I exhaled and looked around, I didn’t like the stares I was getting, so I left the fountain and decided to hide somewhere, I hid behind a tree.
“There you are...” A deep voice startled me, making me jump. I spun around, Damien was staring at me, how was he here so quickly?
He’s looking down at me and a bit mad.
Did I piss him off?
I shift nervously under his deep stares.
“Were you hiding?” He asks, his voice is hard.
“I was being stared at.” He stared at my clothes and I saw his cognac eyes flash red, dark red.
“You shouldn’t be walking around, alone.” His eyes hardened his frown deepened.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to.” I took my lips in.
“I don’t mean it that way, if you want to walk I’ll go with you, and don’t go alone on your own too far from home.” He tug out my hands and pulled me along with him.
I wondered where he was taking me.
Damien ignored the stares we were getting from the lookers but nobody dares to say a word to him.
I followed Damien into the forest since we were covered with trees. Damien was holding my hand, the most attractive man I’ve ever seen and dreadful too with a sexy body.
I could feel my stomach clenched tight and the butterflies forming in my stomach.
“We are here.”
I glanced around when he said that.
There was a huge lake surrounded by trees like it had life in it. You could hear it, you could feel it.
I breathed in with my eyes shut. Letting the sight of this place stay in my memories. It was beautiful and serene like I was in another world.
I felt a hand grab me and pulled me into a warm body, my head slammed against his hard chest and I felt his warmth, his hand sneak around my waist and held me close in his arms.
“It’s alright, I’m right here.”
