The truth will set you free.

「️♔️」️

After hearing about her past I couldn’t help but feel and welcome the fury inside of me, the desire to kill all of those bastards that had hurt her is growing more and more as I continue to hear what they have been doing to her. How could they do it without feeling guilty?

How could they hurt an innocent person without their conscience killing them?

I was disgusted with their attitude towards my mate, most especially with her former Alpha; I am so fucking pissed off. How could one rule with that kind of personality?

An Alpha should protect and care for his pack members, may it be a Beta or an Omega, and he should treat them all with equality. I am dismayed as well as disgusted that a werewolf with a high ranking would do that to his pack members.

If only I could fucking rip off all of those wolves who have abused my mate I would in a heartbeat, but the look that she gave me when I said that made me push the thought back. I could tell that she still cares for her pack, even though they had turned her rogue and abused her for years.

Nothing could satisfy me than seeing blood pouring out of their pathetic bodies as I mutilate each and every single limb from their sockets. But for now I can only supress those desires, I will send wolves to that pathetic pack and wipe all of those who had abused her, but for now I just stare at my mate lovingly.

I admire the strength that my mate withholds, if it was someone else I don’t think they could take it better she did.

“Damien” Scarlett’s concerned voice snaps me out of my trance, as I look at her worried face.

I lifted my hand as I caressed her soft, milky cheeks.

I smiled at her before I answered “Yes, Amor?” (Love)

I can't believe that the woman in front of me is my mate, for years I have tried to find her, my soul mate. And now I have her in my grasp, my beautiful mate. Mine and only mine.

“I told my story to you, now tell me yours” she said persistently as she grabbed my hand that was caressing her cheeks before she intertwined it with hers.

She has a fair point; it is only fair and equal that I will tell her mine, what more to grow us closer to each other than to tell our deepest, darkest secrets with each other.

But it is hard for me to share them, I haven’t shared them with anyone. I am a person who doesn't normally talk about my feelings, I let my actions speak for themselves. Everyone knows of the fabricated story on how my parents died, that the King died because of blood loss that his wife did to him.

They never really understood why I had the urge of killing each and every vampire that lurks in this very Earth; they never knew the real story behind the tragedy.

But now, I think that this is the right time and place where I should share my story, bottling up all the anger and frustration will only make someone lose their sanity and sharing it with someone will make everything better.

My mate is the one that is guiding me out of the darkness that I have created around me, she is my light. My beacon of hope, she is the moon in that shines the dark night, she is the unending light that shines a dark room.

She is my light, my love, my mate.

“Are you sure?” I asked her in which she eagerly nods in response.

“Damien, whether what your past holds, I will not leave you. I will stay with you until the end. I don’t care what you did or what have happened in your past, I will still accept you for being you. I will not judge you based on your past. Know that I will always be here, because I will accept you without your past” she gave me the warmest smile, my heart whelmed at her words as I gave her a smile of my own.

“Thank you, Amor. For everything, I guess I can’t really back out on this, can I?” when Scarlett gave me a shake of her head a she laughed I only chuckled in response before I composed myself. (Love)

“Everyone mostly knows that my parents are dead...” I stated and looked at her reaction before I continued, “My mother died giving birth to me, and ever since that day my father never really did pay attention to me, I grew up with my nanny taking care of my needs and me. I never get to feel the familial love that a father should give his child. No, he buried himself in work, he is always trying to avoid me every time we would cross path, back then I never did knew why until I later found out why. He was always putting up this façade, with his fake smile. And then one day he just told me that he was getting married out of the blue, worst of all it was to a vampire. Do you believe it? He replaced his mate, a person that can never be replaced with, he did so with ease, but I could see that she was making him happy so for once I just went with the flow” I closed my eyes as the memories came back to me.

I let out a sigh as I clutch Scarlett's hand tighter, needing her.

“Not only that but that woman had a child with her, a vampire child. As time passed by, we were getting along together; Dimitri- my stepmother’s son- and I became close with each other. We would train together, we laughed together, smiled at one another, we got comfortable with each other, and I almost thought of him as a brother. But I was foolish, one night I was awoken by a scream, a scream that belonged to none other than my father. I frantically went to his room because I thought that his nightmares were coming back and I was mortified and shocked when I saw my father’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a pool of blood around his body, his eyes were wide and open as he stared back at me. I could still remember how lifeless those two orbs were, Dimitri and my stepmother fled that night after they had heartlessly killed my father, the only family that I had left. They left me, crying as I shout for help. Ever since that day I had shut myself off from everybody, I had despised vampires from that day on. I had put on a façade, showing no emotion or whatsoever, I didn’t trust anyone but myself, because those who you trust strongly will be the one to hurt you badly. I took the title of being the Alpha King at a young age, life was hectic when you don’t have anyone to guide you but I managed. I never did have any attention when I was a child, but as I grew up people start to throw their attention to me” I eyed at Scarlett and she was frowning at me

“Women throw themselves at me and as a man I liked being the center of attraction so I slept with them but only to having me throwing them out afterwards. I always had nightmares of that tragic day; I use women to make my nightmares go away and so did me killing vampires. But those nightmares stopped when I met you, Scarlett” I smiled at Scarlett as I kissed the knuckles of her intertwined hand.

“You are my light Scarlett, the last drop of water in the desert, you are my air Scarlett and what I fear the most is losing you and I can’t lose you, you are way too important for me” Scarlett had tears in her eyes as she listened to my confession.

“Oh Damien” she gave me a hug that comforted me.

After a while she spoke up, “So what happened to Dimitri and his mother?” she asked, curious of the continuation of the story.

“Dimitri and his mother formed their own Kingdom and Dimitri became their King” I shrugged and I saw her eyes widen as she spoke, her voice trembling.

“S-so what you mean is that Dimitri is the King of vampires?” I nodded before I pulled her in for another embrace.

“That’s messed up shit” I laughed at her statement but I was glad that the mood was lifted.

“Don’t worry Amor, I will protect you, I will not let him get to you” I said as I looked at her straight in the eyes as if I was saying a promise. (Love)

She smiled at me before she gave me a peck on the lips before she stood up and pulled my hand making me stand up.

“Let’s go back to the Castle, I have had enough of this sappy moment and I need to stretch out my limbs, my feet are dead” she laughed her melodic laugh and I couldn’t help but laugh with her.

Scarlett let out a squeak as I swooped her off of her feet as I carried her in bridal style.

“What are you doing?” she asked as she let out a giggle.

“Carrying you back towards the Castle” was my simple answer, in which she responds with a hearty laugh.
