Damira

The salty ocean water laps at my toes as I watch the yellow sun crawl towards the other ends of the earth, its brother the moon rising in its place. My father had wanted us to be together, and he had gotten his wish. How does one go about that? 

For years I've trained to the bone for the Alpha position. Beat downs after beat downs, abuse after abuse, I finally made it to the spot I wanted for a long time. All because of her. But I slowly came to realize, she wasn't doing it to be kind. It was all for her to hurt me. All because she wanted another boy. Not a girl. My father stopped it late. He never lifted a hand to help his only daughter. 

As soon as I became Alpha, I banned them from our pack and sent them to live in the  Silent Cliffs. To the ends of the Island where they were banished for the rest of their immortal lives. However, today my father broke the law and left the Silent Cliffs. All because my human mate arrived here. All because my human mate is the daughter of Vince Cyrus. I roll my eyes as the image of the blonde-haired and blue-eyed human flashed across my mind. 

Her perfect smile, the twinkle in her sea-blue eyes. The way she inhales the morning air just before everyone rises for the day stuns me. Even the way she frowns, the small creases between her brows give me tingles of adoration. A twitch of a smile lifts my lips as I recall her laughing with the pack members. Her laugh is like a soft melody, swooning, and calm. I could listen to it every day. 

"Just admit it, Damira. You choose her as our mate." my wolf snarls, angry at my defiance. 

"I'm only going to hurt her," I say. "She'll hate the way I am once I bare myself naked to the human. They all run when they see them. See you." my wolf ignores my comment and paces back towards the corner of my mind. 

I cannot let her in. Show her. She'll run when she sees how monstrous and hideous we are. My mother is right, will always be right. Monsters cannot love. Not all of them are like beauty and the beast. This life isn't a fairytale. 

The snap of a twig causes me to bolt around and face the familiar figure. My beautiful mate looks around the beach and catches my eyes. She freezes, going over in her mind as to do. I shake my head and sit in the sand, watching the stars now twinkle above us. Her warmth beside me instantly tells me she's seated beside me. What a bold move. 

"The stars sure are pretty," her soft voice sings a harmony straight to my heart. I ignore the pang in my heart and play with the cold sand, each particle drifting between my fingers. "You can't ignore me forever, Damira." 

"Why not, Darling? I'm stronger than a mere human like you," a scoff like sound leaves her kissable lips. 

"I thought we already established that were equal. Did you know Damira, that I'm secretly falling for your small habits." I slowly turn my gaze towards my small mate, her eyes not even on me but on the bright moon. 

"Hmm? And why is that?" I cannot help but ask. 

"It's not just the mate bond pulling me to you. I'm being pulled to you because I might actually be developing some feelings for you, Damira. What about you? Instead of putting that mask on, why not show your true feelings?" 

This time, her intense gaze is lifted upon me, so intense it leaves me startled. The gaze of a wolf. Her eyes soften just a bit, her soft hand curling over my cheek. "This is what I've wanted to see. Your face softening and relaxing. So exposed." My heart is beating so loud in my chest, blocking out the sounds of the ocean beating the sand. 

All I could see was her eyes, her mouth moving so slow. What is this feeling?

Accept her. 

I shake my head and pull away, shaking slightly. "Stop... stop with your witchcraft!" Soleil doesn't flinch as I push her away and stand upon my wobbling legs.  She makes me so vulnerable. As an Alpha can't be vulnerable. Never. 

"Whoever hurt you, Damira, I will find them and punish them. I don't know what happened to you, Damira but I'll find them and punish them." She was telling the truth. All sincerity and promise lie in her words. I growl lowly. 

"You know nothing! So shut up!" Soleil stands up and smiles. 

"I'm going to sleep now, Damira. I'll see you at breakfast, sweet dreams." with that she turned and left me alone on the beach. Alone and slightly scared. This human is breaking my walls and I have no clue why or how to fix them. 

Why is it that she is the one to do it? I turn to the moon, frowning. "Is this revenge Moon Goddess, or simply pity?" 

Hi guys! Two updates, woo I'm on a roll. 

What did you think of Damira? We have finally seen a vulnerable side to our mighty Alpha Queen. 

Question: How is the story flow, coming along? Does stuff start to make sense a little?

Until next time ~
