Chapter 29: Chapter 29

RECOMMEND SONG: Closer By The Chainsmokers FT Halsey

Viona pretended to stay calm though her heart was racing no less than a marathon race. Sooner or later, they were going to share the room like a nominal couple for the sake of their mighty images in front of Blood Moon Pack.

Damien stole the look of her hesitant face and smiled in contentment. The more she would try to ignore him, the more he would go for his dominant bride. Out of boredom,she finally reached for the books and started to flip through the pages leisurely.

An hour passed without sharing any words between them. By that time, Damien was done with his official works, Viona was fast asleep.

Looking up at her, Damien's features softened at the sight of her sleeping face. She looked like a baby with her lips slightly parted. Head leaning back against the couch, she was snorting lightly with her arms wrapped around the book.

He got up from his office chair and walked over to her lightly in case he disturbed her sleeping. Pausing in front of her, he wondered over the fact that whether to wake her up or not. Again, her peaceful face made him giving up the option.

Without thinking much, he bent down and scooped the woman in his arms. Perhaps it was their fated bond. Viona's subconscious mind felt warm in his embrace and found a comfortable position to lean on without opening her eyes up.

The door of Alpha's room pushed open silently with a woman lying in his arms. Tiptoed, Damien put down the woman on the king sized bed and adjusted her sleeping position extra cautiously. Without going out, he sat down beside her and kept staring at her long eyelashes deeply. In his heart, she was one kind of habit which was impossible to give up or keeping himself discarded from her.

His dark liquid eyes fell on her lips that were partially aparted in a seductive way. Almost loosing his self control, he cursed himself viciously for being so perverted minded. He didn't want to steal her kiss like this.

Just as he dwelled in his own thoughts, Viona was having a long dream. Her calm face suddenly tightened into an unknown fear and her pulse rate quickened incredibly fast.

To prevent himself from doing any malicious act, Damien intended to leave but heard her faint pleading voice. In her subconscious mind, Viona was hearing a vicious voice,

3..

2..

Viona..Shoot..Now..

No, I can't Please.. Let go.. Please.. or else you know what is going to happen with your family..

1...

BANG!

At the sound of gunshot buzzed inside her mind, Viona's hysterical scream echoed out in reality shocking Damien who was in the midway of leaving the room. He almost jumped on her side and viewd the woman who was panting and crying miserably. Painful sobs escaped through lips that made his heart wrenching and digging like a dagger cutting fleshes.

Damien softened his voice as much as possible and wiped off her tears calling out her name gently,

" Viona.. Viona..Wake up..Viona..."

Viona's murmur didn't stop instead turned into a desperate cry. With her hands fisting the bedsheet tightly, she kept mumbling in a sorrowful voice,

" I can't kill..I can't.. Please let go.. Please..I..I.."

Damien's momentum froze for a moment after hearing her words but he didn't understand what was the meaning behind this. Thinking it as a bad nightmare, he tried to wake her up one more time,

" Viona..Look up... Viona..."

Viona's conscious started to travel back into reality from her horrified dream. Parting her eyes open slightly, she discovered Damien's concerned eyes on her and felt more aggrieved. Without caring of her reaction, she hauled up in a shot and hugged him tightly.

Damien's breathing paused it a little at her warmth and his thoughts went lost for a while. When he inteneded to provide her a little more warmth more tightly, he heard Viona's choking voice beside his ears piercing through his heart like a niddle,

" Please don't leave me.. Please....I won't go back..

Please.. don't..."

Damien didn't completey understand what was she blabbering about. He only wanted to make her crying stop and immediately consoled in a low voice,

" Ssshh!! Don't cry! Why would I leave you? I am your mate for life.."

Viona had lost her abilities of thinking straight. She only acted on that way that she dreamt of and continued nagging like a persistent child,

" No...They will kill you.. Sob..You... don't leave my sight.."

Damien felt helpless and assured her while raking his fingers through her messy curls,

" No one can kill me except you."

Viona still mumbled incoherently,

" Why me?"

Damien chuckled and didn't let go of this opportunity of flirting with her,

" It's because I won't fight back with you if you attack me someday."

Viona nudged her lips lightly over his shoulder and questioned with a growl,

" Why will you do that? "

Damien almost replied her with the truth and swallowed back the urge of confessing that he loves her. From the first day when they met accidentally, he knew that he had fallen for this woman in first sight. But it turned out like Goddess had really heard his silent prey and she became his soul mate by fate.

Damien shook off those ideas and simply coaxed the dazed girl to sleep back. Viona kept muttering incoherent words and clung onto his shoulders tightly. Unable to separate himself from her, Damien sighed deeply and let her clinging onto him like that.

Moments afterwards, he heard her breathing slower and found her falling back to sleep again. With a doting smile, he leant down to place the woman on the bed and heard her faint voice,

" Reth! "

Damien's body stiffled lightly and felt a stab deep inside his heart. Narrowing his gaze dangerously, he murmured to himself painfully,

" Who..who was calling? Her boyfriend?"
