Octavia POV
Snapping my eyes opened, I quickly got up and hurried to the door, before opening it, as I was welcomed with the shock of my life, there was dad, receiving beatings from two hefty warriors, while mom was on her knees, begging them, with tears flowing down her cheeks. My eyes darkened, as I suddenly felt a strong wave of anger, rushing through my veins, awakening my demon, my eyes changed to black, as I felt my breath, hitching, my heart came thumping heavily against my ribcage.
I made to go out and kill those bastards, but stopped on my track, as dad tilted his head weakly to my direction, and shook his head not to come out.
“Please Octavia, just stay there, I’ll be fine.” I heard his voice in my head, and I gasped silently, as I stared at him in shock. Did he just speak in my head? How the heck did that happened? Father can do this?
“Don’t come out please.” His voice echoed in my head again, as he stared at me, from where he was laying on the floor, with pool of tears, finding their ways out of his eyes. It’s obvious he was going through alot at the moment.
Clenching my fist in pains, anger and hurt, I let my tears flow freely down my cheeks, as I watched them continued beating him. What have we done to deserve all these? Is this how others are treated? Why are they beating him?.
They finally dragged him and mom out of the house.
Stepping out of my room completely, I burst in tears, as I stared at the exit door, wondering what they’re going to do to them, I hope they don’t inflict more pains on the poor couples, I wouldn’t be able to take it….
Author POV
Alpha Khalid kept tossing on the bed, as the thought of his enchantress, filled his mind. No matter how he had tried taking her off his mind, just like the stars never leaves the sky, it seems he can never get her out of his head. Just what is so special about her? It couldn’t be for her beautiful wolf, right?
He groaned angrily, as he sat up on his king sized bed, and buried his face in his palms, he’s losing his mind, he can’t control the feelings, and it angers him the more, how could he be so curious about a lowlife? In as much as he tried to believe that there isn’t nothing special about her, how about this bond, which he can’t decipher where it’s coming from? How about this unknown force, that kept drawing him to her, back in the woods.
He sighed deeply, as he stood up from the bed, and walked towards the bathroom, before stepping inside. An hour passed, before the door finally opened, as he stepped out, with a towel, hanging dangerously around his waist. His body, is the most perfect one, anyone would ever behold, his six packs, were like those of the gym guys, anyone would think that he works on them, but it’s all natural, his abs, is what can drive anyone crazy, just how could a man be this handsome and has a perfect body.
He sat on the dresser, as he stared deep into his own reflection, wondering what went wrong with him. He couldn’t just stop himself, from thinking about the girl, and for some unknown reason, he just wished he could see her face, even if it’s just once, he just wished he could see the face of the creature, who keeps filling his every thoughts.
He was jolted out of his trance, by the knock, that came on the door. He didn’t need no one to tell him who was at the door, as the scent of whoever it was, already filled his nose.
Standing up from the dresser, he walked over to his closet, then grabbed his robe and wore it, before going to get the door. He opened the door, revealing Lia.
“Mother.” He called, as a smile settled on his face. His dark aura slowly dissipated slowly into a soft one, as he looked at the beautiful woman, standing before him. Just how much he loved this woman, she’s the only one that ever stayed by his side, the only one, who knows his pains, and the only one, whom he grew up to recognize as family.
“How’re you doing son? Can I come in?” The beautiful woman asked with a smile on her face.
“Sure mother.” He opened the door wide for her, and closed it, after she walked inside. Turning around to go in, he found her, staring around, in admiration.
“So… mother.” He called her attention to himself, as he went to sit on the dresser, looking at his own reflection, lost in thoughts again. Just why can’t he stop this feelings, even if it’s just once? Why does she keep occupying his every thoughts?
The woman studied him for minutes, not taking her eyes off him. She knew something is up with him, she knew he’s disturbed about something, but what could be wrong with the Alpha? What could be disturbing him? Even if he shows her so much love, even if this man would do anything to make her happy, she knows she can’t still meddle into his affairs, maybe leaving him alone, will help situation. She didn’t wanna awaken the demon in him, by questioning him, knowing the kind of person he is.
“I made you breakfast son, your favorite.” She said, as she walked over to where he was sitting, and placed her both hands on his shoulders, giving him a soft and soothing massage. In as much as she hates seeing him in this mood, she couldn’t just bring herself to asking him any questions.
“I want to be alone mother, and I don’t have appetite.” He said in his usual cold voice, not raising an eye to glance at her.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as a strong wave of sadness filled her heart, but she covered it up with a fake smile, which only lasted for seconds, before dissipating. It hurts to hear this from him, he must be going through some tough time now, and it saddens her, that there isn’t anything she can do about it.
“Ok, I’ll leave first.” She said, trying not to sound sad, before turning and walked towards the door.
“Mother… what is a mate bond.” He asked out of the blues, not taking his eyes off the mirror, as his dark eyes, stared deep at his reflection, like he wanted to see through his own soul…
