Heart Of A Beast

~RINA~

The next day I was feeling so much better and Damien took me out on a ride in his wolf form, for the first time ever he showed me his vampire side to say today happened to be my best day right after the day Damien mark me, but sadly the evidence of the mark is gone with no explanation, sometimes I feel Damien think I wanted to reject him which probably explains why he was trying extra hard to make me happy.

Also another weird stuff is the fact that I could still feel his emotions without the mark, I just hope Drake comes up with a good explanation soon, I jolted back to present when someone splash water on me, glaring playfully at Damien I watched as he drives into the water, his body was a welcoming sight and I couldn’t bit back the disappointment I felt when he disappeared from the surface of the water.

“I was enjoying the view” I muttered to no one in particular.

Soon he repeated. “If you love the view so much why not get in” He chuckled his gaze heated on my body.

I blushed. “I will take that as an invitation” I laughed jumping in with my clothes, luckily I was wearing a sun dress plus I don’t think I’m comfortable skinny dipping when anyone could just walk in on us.

But then I decided against it when he disappeared into the water again, jumping into the water with a heavy splash and few minutes later, I felt him lifted me up from the water, my legs automatically wrapped around his waist as he walked us both to the shore.

“Do you feel that?” I asked looking around, sensing that we aren’t alone.

“Stay here” He ordered dropping me gently into the water before disappearing into the forest, how could he leave me here alone? I don’t mean to be such a baby but… I let out a scream as a figure walked towards me.

“Daniel! You scared the day light out of me” I remarked getting out of the water.

“Well I came to inform you that your job is done” He replied ignoring my statement.

“Really?” I ask surprised cause I really hadn’t expect them to get the job done soon, but I was a bit nervous now, what if I don’t like what I find out? *Well what could possibly be worse than not knowing your root and your real parent?* You’ve got this Rina.

“What job?” Damien growled as he came to stand behind us, causing us to jump.

“It’s not what you think… I was asking him about the seashells I told him to give Laureen, she was supposed to make a picture frame for me. A picture of us” I answered battling my eyelashes sweetly at him but he doesn’t look a bit convinced.

“You better don’t do anything foolish” He warned Daniel who looked away nervously just as Damien stare down at my sundress which is now glue to my body like a second skin.

“Get lost” He growled at Daniel possessively.

“I have a mate Damien” Daniel grumbled before walking away.

I giggled. “I have to return to the house” I went on a tip toe to kiss me but instead he carried me into a bridal style and match us in the direction of the pack house, I couldn’t help but smile.

Each time I remember what happened two days ago, dread always fill me, I’m still a little afriad to close my eyes after dark, afriad that the councils will try to get to me. What in the world do they want from me? I’m starting to think it not all about being Damien’s mate.

“Stop thinking so much” He scolded softly.

“I can’t help it, what do the councils want with me? Like I’m particularly useless” I rolled my eyes as he dropped me on the couch. “I need to get out of this dress” I muttered.

I heard him say something but I didn’t think much about it, after freshening up, I came back to the room and Damien was nowhere in sight so I luckily hurried out of the room to Drake’s workshop only to see them arguing.

“Shut up guys! Where is she?” I asked butting into their little argument.

“Kidnaping! Like seriously? If Damien finds out about this forget the councils, you are going to be in so much trouble” Drake said.

“Well he doesn’t have to find out. Let get this over with, the time you guys are wasting here…. we would have gotten a lot of things done. Now take me to her” I glared at Drake before following Daniel out to a old warehouse.

“Alright, hurry up and question her. I’ll be on the look out” Daniel suggested.

I was paying half attention to him as I walked over to the terrified woman tied to the chair, I should have really pitied her but I don’t, I remember all those days I starved, those cold night I spend in the dark basement because I broke a little plate. The more I think about those days, a sudden urge was just overcoming me. The urge to kill.

“Are you okay?” Drake asked probably noticing my strange behavior.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

*Weird* I removed the tape from her mouth. “Hi there, let get this over with, I’m Adrianna”

“Riina?” She ask stunned then look me up and down. “You ain’t dead?” She coughed.

“Yes I’m not. You see I won’t hurt you so you don’t need to be terrified of me, all I want to know is who my parents are, you have work in that orphanage for the past twenty years so you better tell me what you know” I told her.

“Please let me go” She pleaded instead.

“Of course I will let you go, as soon as you know my parents! Tell me who the fuck they are cause I know you knew them, you cannot just find a child laying on your doorstep can you?” I asked leaning closer to her.

“Yes! That how Madam Tricia found you, it was on a raining day, someone rung the bell and when we both went out to see who rang the orphanage bell, we saw you there, outside at the door step since you were still a baby, we knew someone had dropped you off there. But we never found out who that is. We took you to the councils….” Then she trailed off.

I sighed clearly defeated. Who in their right mind who dropped a baby at someone doorstep without a good reason? This whole thing just makes me confused and I turned away from her but it seems like Drake wasn’t done with her yet.

“You took her to the councils? Then what?” Drake asked her.

“What does it matter? I don’t fucking know who my parents are! I feel like someone who just dropped from the sky” I cried as tears rolled down my face.

“But the councils knew” I heard her said.

Before I could ask her any more questions, Daniel hurried into the room looking nervous. “We have a big problem guys” He said.

“Damien found out?” I asked cause that could be the only bad news at the moment.

“The councils worrior are attacking us, and we’ve got to take her back before Damien’s find out we put the whole pack in danger” He answered.

“No! We cannot return her just yet! She knows something about my parents” I protested but Drake dragged me out.

“Don’t you get it? She doesn’t!. The councils knew something about her and if they know she said something to us then they will have her killed along with anyone who might be connected to you, someone out there knows the truth, people like Madam Tricia” Drake explained.

“But you just told me…. ” He interrupted.

“Yes yes, the councils must have told them something, all we need to do now is kidnap one of the councils” Drake suddenly grinned.

“Now someone tell me what the fuck is going on here” Damien growled from the doorway.

*Geez! It’s game over for us* I thought.
