~Viola~
I was looking over the window, it was getting so late, Damien doesn’t stay out too late till four in the morning and now it was five.
I hadn’t been able to close my eyes because I was worried. And Bianca, I hadn’t known about her, she had left the mansion last night and hadn’t returned.
Maybe one of her random trips.
I wonder if she was traveling or meeting up with some other men.
It wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t trust her but Damien doesn’t mind at all.
He thinks Bianca is all too good and never had any pretense.
I sighed and moved away from the window. I grabbed a shawl and wrapped them over my neck. I went out of the house, I couldn’t go ahead and sleep.
“It’s cold outside.” I wrapped my hand around myself.
I couldn’t reach Lucas, lest I was worried.
I was someone coming, he was probably one of the warriors so I waited and waved for him to stop so I could ask what was happening.
If he had seen Lucas or Damien.
I hope it wasn’t because of what happened at his office when I met with Cranon.
I was hoping it wasn’t it.
I paced a little bit, I had gone out through the gate. The guards inside didn’t stop me, they had no clue where Damien was as well.
I was feeling trepidation.
“Where are you?” Damien’s voice came through the mind link.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why ain’t you home yet?” I sounded worried.
“Are you in the mansion?” His breath is heavy and as if he was almost out of breath. Was he running?
“I’m outside the mansion,” I answered quietly.
“Get back in now!” He ordered and I heard nothing else from him.
I frown in annoyance, doesn’t he know how worried I was for him?
I hissed and turned and was about to head back into the house when a hand pulled me backward.
“You don’t want to leave the pack ain’t you?” His hands tighten around my wrist. And I was dragged into their middle.
He wasn’t just the only one, soon I was surrounded by five huge Lycans, snarling and growling at me.
I was horrified, and my heart hammered against my chest. Beating so fast, that I could barely control myself from shuddering in fear.
I couldn’t know who they were they had all shifted including the one who held me earlier.
My wrist hurts because of my strong hand.
I couldn’t break from their midst because they surrounded me with eyes that completely wants to devour me and tear me into pieces.
I saw it all in them.
The hatred.
“Damien.” I cried and fell on my butt when I was pushed to the ground.
“Help...” I crawled with my butt as if I could disappear.
The one who had attacked me held his claws out and was gonna splash me with them when I heard a deafening growl from behind us.
I looked fearfully behind me and saw a huge brown Lycan wolf, almost like a giant. His sight was terrifying and intimidating. His eyes is dark red, and he was snarling at them.
I would have been more scared if he wasn’t who I thought he was.
Those eyes, was it Damien?
And he was the only one who came.
I didn’t know I had been crying until the tears touched my lips.
Damien...
I called out in relief.
And he instant lurched at them, fighting them off away from me. I was certain it was Damien.
I got on my feet, I didn’t know what to do because I couldn’t fight that well but I could throw a few kicks. But that won’t save me in these situations.
The intruders appear to be strong and were fighting Damien all at once.
Damien kick off the other with his claws dug into his chest and pulled out his heart.
One of them didn’t attack as the others did, he was wearing a hoodie, and a face cap and wasn’t transformed as the others. I couldn’t see his face.
Because he had them hidden.
He stared at a dagger he held in his hands and then hid them behind him.
He looked up from the dagger and met my gaze, he smirked.
I froze where I was and my legs won’t move from the ground.
I felt stuck and my feet were wobbly.
Where am I gonna run to?
He was coming to me, and then he started to run.
It happened so fast, and he was right in front of me.
“Ww-“ I stammered and he snarled and pulled up the dagger and I saw him thrust them and then twisted it.
My mouth is wide open, and I couldn’t feel any pain or anything. I squinted my eyes and stared and saw a tall figure in front of me towering over me but having his back to me.
Wolfsbane.
I perceived it from the dagger.
His eyes widened in shock and he pulled back the dagger. I heard his grunts and he shifted back into his human form.
Damien.
I cried with tears in my eyes. His gaze was fixed in front of the man.
I saw his face when the hoodie falls off.
Roland?
Why?
Why did he want to kill me?
“King Damien?” He called softly.
“Why? Ro?” Damien asked him with his eyes turning back to brown.
“Why! You were going weak because of her! You would do anything to protect her, she was getting affected by you, and you’re distracted from the office! Ever since Cranon came in with her! You never listened to anything I say!” He ruffled his hair and stared around the Lycans that were all dead.
I saw Lucas coming with a few of the warriors, one of them I recognized as the one who had accosted me the other day.
“I thought if I get rid of her, you’re back to King Damien we all knew!”
I know Roland hated me, I never expected him to go this far.
Damien is losing a lot of blood, his skin was turning pale. The wolfsbane was affecting him already.
“I didn’t mean for this!” He was half yelled.
“I don’t want to face another betrayal from them, and Cranon he’s someone we should never have involved ourselves with!” He was screaming but he didn’t try to run or do anything he remained where he was. He knew he was wrong and seems to accept whatever was gonna happen to him.
I knew now, the fate I held.
An unwanted wolf hated and had a cruel fate.
I wasn’t wrong when I said I was...unlucky.
This again proves it.
Damien suddenly fell.
“Damien!” I cried, holding up to him.
“Viola...” he called at me and touch my face.
“Are you hurt?” I shook my head at him, I wasn’t hurt, not even a scratch.
“My warriors are stupid sometimes, they act impulsively.”
“I’m not hurt.” I cried, he wiped my tears off with his thumb.
“I’m glad.” His hands dropped from my face and fell at his side.
“Damien!”
