Heart Of A Beast

~RINA~

*Where am I?* I thought looking around the dim room I was standing in, wasn’t it few minutes ago I was sleeping soundly in Damien’s embrace? Well maybe I am dreaming then cause I don’t see an logical explanation for whatever that was happening here, the fact that I’m very much aware of the stuff that happened a while before or the fact that this dream feels so real.

“Adrianna” A voice called causing me jerk in the direction, staring at the woman in front of me in shock and wondering how she got here without me noticing her.

“Who are you?” I asked staring at her, her hair was very long and white then I recognized her as the woman who had appreared to me in dream before, she’s here again, I have a lot of questions to ask her. “Do you know who I am? Anything about my parents?” I shuttered her as he turned to look at me, even her eyes were glowing white.

“Of course my dear, I know everything about you but I do not know if you will trust me enough to believe me” She wispered in a said voice.

“I trust you, do you know how long I’ve longed for the truth? Please just tell me! I don’t even know my place in the world anymore” I replied hoping she would just tell me the truth even though there was an alarming voice in my head telling not to listen to whatever she was saying.

“The beast!” The woman suddenly shouted. “He has something to do with the death of your parents! Your mom was an old friend of mine and she works as a servant for the councils, when the beasts attack the council’s palace, your mother dropped you at the doorstep of the orphanage, she was killed shortly after” She blurted out causing my eyes to widened.

“You are telling me that Damien killed my parents? He might be a beast but he would be never do something like that” I defended not quite believing what this strange woman was telling me, I trust Damien completely.

“I see your love has made you blind, a beast will always be a beast. I believe he once attacked you?” She stated giving me the I told you so look.

I was speechless. “It… was an.. accident! Damien would never hurt me” I cried suddenly feeling like my world is spinning out of control.

“Your father is alive, and the beast wants him dead too! No one knows why he wants him death but you need to protect your father the same way your mother protect you! She lost her life while trying to save you. How on grateful are you being for trusting your mother’s killer, someone that rubbed you off your normal childhood” I stared at her as her words slowly sunk in.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What do you suggest I do? I want to know who my father is! He is alive right? Please tell me something about him” I pleaded tears rolling down my face.

“Your father is still alive but I don’t know for how long” She said walking around me in circles. “What you need to do is kill the Beast to save us all, including your father and to avenge your poor mother’s death. There’s nothing as dear as a mother’s love” She wispered the last part.

“No!” I cried! How could she ask me to kill Damien? I will and can never do that. I took a step back. “I don’t trust you” I murmured turning around to leave.

“Enough” Her voice suddenly turned scary. “I have been nice to you enough darling girl. I see your love for this Beast is very powerful, too bad that very love will be the one to destroy him” She started to laugh like a lunatic.

“What are you talking about” Fear gripped me.

“The Beast will die today! And you will be the one to kill him. Adrianna….” She suddenly trailed off. ” Someone is messing with my powers!” She screamed in no one in particular then suddenly something dig into my skin causing to scream out as blood gushed out of me, the woman was screaming no or whatever she was saying.

“Damien….” I screamed knowing he was the only one that could saved me then suddenly I opened my eyes, blurred vision at first then I blink a couple of times before my environment finally registered in.

“Drake” I cried reaching to hug him, my whole body shook violently but he stopped me pushing me down gently.

“Hey easy there Rina, you are still weak and I really need to wrap up your wound” He replied.

I looked down at my hand then saw the deep cut, I frowned remember feeling it in my dream. “Drake what happened?” I choked out then I glance around the room. “Where is Damien? Please where is he?” I cried struggling to get up.

“Oh fuck! Just calm down! I’ll get his ass here” He ordered obviously pissed and I glared at me before obeying him.

Drake had managed to get my wound all clean up before Damien showed up, seeing that I was concious we both jumped on each other, well him mostly cause Drake had ordered me not to move an inch, I didn’t care though I hugged him back feeling the tension that had ragged my body moments ago begin to fade slowly.

“Alright love birds, can I get a moment?” He asked clearing his throat.

“Fuck off!” Damien growled back at him.

Then Drake dramatically put a hand over his chest feigning hurt. “You cannot just say that to someone who just saved your mate’s life. Damn! I need a mate” He hissed the last part before walking away.

“Don’t ever do that to me ever again” Damien groaned burying his face in my neck.

“What happened Damien? One minute you were telling me stuff and the next I was getting so tired. I was so scared” I cried as he hugged me tighter than ever.

“Sh baby, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you” He wispered huskily in my ear the glancing at my two Injured hands, he growled angrily muttering somethings under his breath, knowing I had to find a way to distract him, I held his face then brush my lips against his, he deepened the kiss, kissing me hungrily like his life depended on it.

Few minutes later, when we pulled away cause I started to feel sleepy this time but I was too scared to fall asleep.

“Rina, I’m here okay? Don’t worry none of this would happen again. I’ll make sure of that. The witch who did this, will be dead by sun down” He vowed placing a kiss on my forehead.

“Damien-” I pleaded.

“No Rina, don’t talk me out of this. I hate witches! After what they did to my sister and now you? I despise them” He growled causing my blood to run cold.

First I never knew he had a sister and from the look of things, something bad must have happened to her and two Damien pointed out he hate witches … and I happened to be one!.

He is definitely going to reject me once he finds out. I thought crying silently.
