~Damien Pov~
I wanted to test her, that was why I took her there, I wanted to know what connection she had with Cranon and the kind of life she lived with him.
I simply used her to get what I wanted.
I hope she doesn’t fail me.
Now I know why she hasn’t wolfed yet, she has shown me her scars, and she was still traumatized. That was why she hadn’t been able to shift.
She is scared of herself. Probably because of everything she went through with Cranon.
Lucas pulled up on the lawn and we got out of the car.
Viola followed us in and I had Lucas shows her, her room at the end of the corridor. That would be where she would be staying.
I had gone to town earlier, buying some clothes. I don’t know what she would prefer so I bought everything the lady at the store throw at me.
I had almost bought the entire clothes in the store but there won’t be any room to keep them.
Her room was stuck with clothes of different sizes, I don’t want to see her in rags so that was better.
She would be surprised when she find out.
Viola was not a threat yet but I had to keep watching her, with the way Cranon had treated her, she might be having thoughts of rebelling against him.
If she did spend five years with him as she said.
“Good job Damien.” Dugan commended.
“Shut up,” I chuckled a reply at him.
“I was horrible.”
I knocked on Bianca’s door.
I wonder what was wrong with her this time.
“You can come in, Damien.” She sounded weak and it made me worry. I opened the door and got in. She was covered with the duvet and shivering beneath it.
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked with a glint of worry. I touched her forehead, she was running temperature.
“I think I got flu.” She clasped her hands over mine and then took them down from her head to my chest, placing them on it.
“What are you doing?” She ignores my question and tried to kiss me, I pushed her away.
“What’s wrong with you?!” I shouted at her, I hardly raised my voice at Bianca but now she was making me do that.
“You don’t want me?” She looked pained.
“I want you Bianca, you’re my Queen.”
“Queen?” She scoffed and gently lift herself from the bed. “...you were gonna give me the title because you took pity on me.” She chuckled bitterly.
“I can’t see it in your eyes, Damien. There’s no warmth for me, there’s nothing!” She yelled, her eyes are teary and she sniffed and pushed the tears back in.
“I’ve always loved you, all these years I’ve been with you! I’ve loved you, Damien! Why was it so hard for you to let go!” She hurled the pillow on my face, I caught them and throws them to the couch.
“I’m disappointed in you, you know better than anyone, I don’t have such feelings!” I thundered at her, she was getting me angry.
“Haven’t we talked about this?” I frown at her.
“How did you expect me to stay and not fall in love with you, Damien? You won’t kiss me you won’t touch me, you won’t even let me touch you! Don’t you have a heart?” She shrieked, hurling everything that came in her reach at my face.
“I do not have a heart for such foul play.”
“When you were madly in love with Jolene, it wasn’t any of that. Now it’s my turn for you to love me and it suddenly isn’t real to you.”
“Do not make mention of that name again!” I wagged a finger at her.
“You know what happened! Get a hold of yourself, Bianca!” I yelled.
“That was ten years ago! I know I lost my father, I fucking know!” She screamed and tears streams off her face.
“I guess, I came at the wrong time. You’re sick, we’ll have this discussion when you’re sober.” I straightened myself and strolled to the door. I hear her sobs quietly.
“But you stare at her differently, you rejected her but you’re keeping her close, you’re protecting her Damien! You’re keeping an enemy close!”
“You’re sick.” I intoned when I stopped walking with my back against her.
“I’ll call the physician to check up on you.” I opened the door and slammed it shut behind me.
I exhaled when I was out of the room, I went into my study and swept everything off the table with my hands.
“Argh!” I groaned and crouched to my knees with my hands clasped over my head.
“Ah.” My breath is shaky and I was trying to control Dugan, he was shuddering inside of me.
“Kill her!” Dugan growled.
“Calm down, fucking calm down!” I screamed at my wolf.
“We can’t hurt Bianca,” I exasperated a sigh and sat down on the ground with my back leaning against the table.
“We’ve to protect her remember.” I exhaled with my eyes shut.
“Are you okay?” Lucas mind-linked me.
I took in a sharp breath before I could reply to him.
“She throws a fit before you came. That’s why I had to call you.” Lucas seems a bit worried about her too.
We cared for her, she had watched her grow and was fond of us when she was younger. Her father was my father’s Beta.
So I’ve known Bianca ever since she was a little girl.
But things changed ten years ago and she doesn’t want to accept that I wasn’t the Damien of that time who adores her and laugh at her silly jokes.
“Call the physician to check up on her, she’s running temperature,” I ordered.
“Yes, King Damien. But why was she behaving that way?” Lucas wanted to know about that as well. Because she had behaved this way before.
“She found out about Viola being my mate, she doesn’t want to accept that.” That was the reason she was acting up, that was the only conclusion that made sense to me.
“I’ve assured her there’s no need to worry about her existence, she would still be the Queen. Don’t worry about Bianca, I’ll take care of her.”
I cut him off from the mind link and buried my head in between.
I was once a happy man that was in love with his mate.
