Allie's POV
I woke up slowly, I still felt really sleepy, for a minute everything looked blurry and too bright I closed my eyes again until my eyes adjusted to the light and to a figure that was standing in front of me. I continued to blink until everything was fine. Last night was strange I felt as if I had been lying or resting my head on something warm and yet solid hard, but when I looked around there was nothing there beside me just an empty space in this large bed. I turned my gaze back to who was in front of me.
There was a girl dressed as a maid I assumed who was standing in front of me, she looked quite pretty about my age, she had long auburn hair tied up in a bun, dark grey eyes, creamed coloured skin, and a very slim figure. She was quite tall probably about five foot seven or five foot eight. I sighed where was I? This was defiantly not my own bedroom or my home. It wasn't even Aidan's home. Where was I?
"Hello I hope you had sweet dreams." She greeted me sweetly.
"Excuse me but could you tell me where I am?" I asked.
"Oh you're in the master's house madam." She answered me.
"Who's the master?" I asked.
"Oh he brought you here last night. But am anyway he should be back very soon." She didn't really answer my question.
"What is the master's name?" I wanted to know.
She was about to answer when the two double doors to this bedroom opened. A man walked in, he looked so much like Aidan, when he came into a better view near me I felt my eyes widen he looked like the man I had encountered with briefly in the cinema, he had blonde hair shoulder length, and emerald green eyes, he was wearing a white shirt all buttoned up, a pair of black trousers and a pair of black shoes. I watched him walk towards the maid before speaking to her in a rather harsh tone.
"Demy what did I say about speaking too much to our guests? I hope you weren't annoying my little angel here. Did you leave fresh clothes out for her to wear?" He asked. He had the most beautiful voice ever; it was deep, almost musical like, and beautiful to listen to.
"Yes master I have left fresh clothes out for her to wear in the bathroom." She responded quickly.
"Leave the room now I want to be left alone with my Princess." Princess I'm not a Princess and I'm not even beautiful so why is he calling me that? I shook off those thoughts while watching him carefully.
The maid who was called Demy I assumed left the room, the man who was known as master quickly got out some keys from one of his trouser pocket's and locked the bedroom door eyeing me while walking back towards me.
"Hello Allie." Wait how does he know my name? I never told him my name so how on earth does he know my name? I stayed quiet.
"Allow me to introduce myself I am Damien pleased to meet you." He walked even closer to me before pushing me down on to the bed.
"How do you know my name?" I tried getting out of his grasp but he only tightened his grip around my waist.
"You don't remember?" I didn't know whether or not he was more disappointed or more confused when he said that.
"Remember what?" I really was confused now.
"We met each other when we were very young, in our childhood years. I used to bully you." He exclaimed.
"Where did we meet?" I wanted to know.
"We met in the forest little Princess, and we also saw each other in school but I left when you had turned twelve years of age. I bullied you until you were twelve because I had to leave the school since I had to wait until the day when we would meet again. Of course Aidan bullied you too did he not? But he never saw me." He explained.
"I don't remember going into the forest when I was a kid, my parents would've boxed my ears off." I remarked.
"Ever since I was born before my mother passed away she told me that I had been betrothed to a girl that would attend the same school as me, that girl was you. Even your parents knew of the betrothal. They knew we were meant to be together but after a while I guess they had forgotten about the betrothal and just assumed that Aidan would be the one to marry you and take my place as your husband. However that cannot be done. You're mine and mine only Allie. Unless I perish nobody can have you not Aidan, not Drake, no-one." He whispered the last word.
"How do you know about Aidan and about my teacher? Especially Aidan you don't know a thing about Aidan." I stated.
"I know more than you know about Aidan." He smirked.
"Fine Mr. know it all what do you know about Aidan?" I challenged him.
"More than he knows anyway. He's my half brother." He remarked.
There's no way Aidan had a half brother unless his father had cheated on his own wife.
"Aidan's father never cheated on his wife." Oh my goodness how did he know what I was thinking?
"How did you know what I was thinking?" I really was freaked out now.
"Let's just say I have perfect hearing. Anyway I am your true fiancée and have been ever since the day you were born." He winked before unbuttoning his shirt, he had the most beautiful chest ever, and it was tanned, well-built and very muscular. He was like a flipping god.
Why am I thinking such things? He reminds me of Aidan so much I hate men. I felt a hand being placed underneath my shirt, I tried squirming away from him but he wouldn't even budge.
"You're lying! If I had been betrothed to you my parents would've told me in the first place!" I shouted I was so angry. Gosh I wish this had all been a dream, how did he even find me?
"Your parents didn't tell you because they were told to keep quiet about it. If your father had refused Aidan's father's offer: then he would've been killed. But then again Mr Thompson can kill anyone at any time. Nothing will stop him from killing anyone that disobeys him. Your parents knew fine rightly that we were betrothed; they just wouldn't say a word because they were scared of anyone finding out. Also they wanted to wait until near your nineteenth birthday since they thought that would be the right time to tell you the truth. But then again you're still eighteen." He explained
This was way too much to take in; my parents never told me this. They never told me I had been engaged to a person who I had been betrothed to ever since the day I had been born nor had they ever told me that he had bullied me sometimes. I had slight memories from when I was little but everything was just a blur I remember when I was little about four or six years old I had thought I had gone into the forest and had seen a boy there but my parents told me I had just been having a dream.
"Let me go home." I begged almost.
"This is your home now. You abandoned your home when you chose to leave the church. The debt still needs to be paid but since you are my fiancée I will speak to your parents personally and deal with the debt in a different way. Once I have dealt with the debt then you will accept this as your home whether you like this or not." He glared at me while planting small kisses down my neck. I tried pushing him away but he wouldn't even budge. The tattoo he had on his right shoulder caught my attention, it started from the tip of his shoulder and stopped at halfway down on his right arm.
"Like what you see?" He teased me while continually kissing my neck.
"Stop it." I moaned out embarrassed by my own actions.
He laughed for a while before giving me a lick on my neck; he caressed my cheek with his thumb while pulling me even closer to his chest until I was resting against it.
"The truth is whether you admit it or not you already like my touch. Anyway feel free to look around the house but don't go too far on your own you might get lost." He kissed me once more on my neck then on my jaw line before pulling away. I felt cold after he had pulled away from me, I no longer felt warm I felt as cold as ice since our bodies were no longer in contact with each other.
"This is kidnapping!" I snapped.
"Think of it as you will Allie; just remember you are engaged to me not to Aidan. He can't have you no-one only me." He had put it bluntly.
"Why kidnap me?" I sniffed.
"Now now don't sniff." He slowly moved back towards me and wrapped his arms around my neck before kissing my forehead.
"Why did you kidnap me?" I snapped again.
"You're asking me –because." He stopped halfway through the sentence before crushing his lips with mine. It was a passionate kiss I had to admit, full of need and longing. Longing for what though? I wondered after he had broken the kiss.
"I love you Miss Allie." He left the room after he had unlocked the door and still had his shirt on him, he had made sure to lock the door again after he had left the room.
I really didn't like this, why did the man that I had encountered with last night at the cinema have to be my kidnapper? Or my true fiancée since he calls himself that. This wasn't right but somehow he was right about one thing I did like his touch, no I loved it or even enjoyed it. I shook my head trying to get rid of those thoughts and rambled into the large bathroom in the bedroom. I took off the t-shirt that had been put on me and my sweatpants before getting into the shower and washed myself off.
I got myself dried off after being in the shower for fifteen or twenty minutes and there on the toilet was a beautiful light blue strapless lace dress, with a pair of light blue pumps. The dress was exquisite it had a flower pattern around the middle of it and at the back had a large bow with a blue flower in the middle of it.
"I mightiest well wear this frock." I slipped the dress on as well as the pumps before walking out of the bathroom and into the bedroom again only to be greeted by Demy standing in front of the bed it was funny because I didn't even hear her come in.
"Let me do your hair please madam." She spoke sweetly.
"Okay but please don't mess it up." I responded.
She motioned for me to sit down on the bed so she could blow dry and do my hair, I did as I was told and sat down on the bed. She took out the hairdryer that was in one of the drawers at the bedside table on the right. It only took her ten to fifteen minutes to dry my hair and as soon as she had finished drying my hair she put it back into the drawer and got out some hairclips, a comb and a hairbrush. She started to lift out some strands of my hair and started to plat it, after ten to fifteen or twenty minutes she told me she had finished with my hair and told me to go into the bathroom and tell her what I thought of it.
I walked into the bathroom and couldn't believe what she had done to my hair, I felt completely different in fact I looked different in a good way I guess. She had done a braided headband that went across my forehead and had put the rest of my hair up into a fancy unique bun. The hairclips that she had put into my hair kept my bun in place. I ran back into the bedroom and gave her a hug until I heard the bedroom door open. Damien walked into the bedroom eyeing me carefully.
"Allie may I speak to you now?" It was a demand not a request.
I walked over towards him keeping my head down not a good idea in my case since I had bumped into his hard chest.
"Look at me." He demanded.
When I didn't look at him he lifted my chin up with his index finger and made me make eye contact with him. He chuckled, it was then when I had noticed that Demy was no longer in the room. I guess she had left once Damien had entered the room.
"Dinner will be in half an hour don't keep me waiting princess." He whispered making me shiver in response.
After he had left the room I stayed in silence wondering what Aidan would think of me now.
Aidan's POV
After last night I hadn't gone to bed whatsoever I had stayed up the entire night don't ask me why I hadn't gone after her. She had made her choice and there was no way she could come back to me to make amends because she had made her own choice when she had decided to make a complete fool out of herself and act like a bloody two year old in front of everyone especially the minister. I had to do my best to restrain my own father and get him home away from the church and away from Allie's parents since he was raging with absolute fury. I thought he was going to murder them since he was insulting them so much.
I remember his words so clearly in the church after Allie had run out of the church and had disappeared off somewhere.
"Your daughter is a fool if she thinks she can get away with this." He started off with that statement.
"Please sir we didn't know she was going to act like this really we didn't." Mrs Jenkins tried to act calmly.
"I don't care if you bloody did or didn't know she was going to act like this, you are both fools." He tried to strike them but luckily for them I ran over to him and slapped him across the face before restraining him and telling him that it was enough for one night.
I still had a sharp grip around him and his lasts words that he had said to Allie's parents still haunted my mind so much.
"Sure I'll go home but I swear if she ever returns with whomever she is with or if she is travelling alone, well she is dead." It was a warning and yet I couldn't help but wonder why father would think she would be travelling with someone. I sat in one of the living rooms gazing into the fireplace before getting up from my chair and punched the wall I was so angry why did this have to happen? Does she not understand what she has done? I felt hurt, no not hurt, and furious with her. I bet she doesn't even know what the consequences will be if she ever comes back to her home. In fact she won't be able to since she has decided not to marry me. I understand she didn't want to marry me and I didn't want to marry her either but she didn't have to screw the entire plan up.
I punched the same wall again before running up the staircase and near to my bedroom door until I heard Joe speaking.
"Aidan there is no need to be furious." He said so calmly.
"I have every right to be furious with her! She screwed up! Now she can never come back home." I shouted.
"Shush." He said almost as if he was in a hurry and pressed one of his fingers up towards his mouth before speaking again almost in a whisper.
"Sir may we speak in private in your room perhaps?" He suggested.
I nodded in agreement and opened the door to my bedroom. He closed the door after himself before speaking to me.
"I understand that Allie refused to marry you but put yourself in her shoes for just a moment what would you have done if you didn't want to marry someone you didn't love?" He made that sound like more of a statement than a question.
"I wouldn't have a choice father is already furious with me for not finding her or even stopping her from running out of the church." I nearly snapped.
"Well that's your father's problem not yours." He exclaimed.
"Yeah but it was my responsibility to take care of things." I really was not in the mood for this.
"Sir I don't think anyone would think less of you if you were to say she wasn't coming back here." He sighed.
"It's not a question of is she is coming back it's a question if she does decide to come back and if she does it won't be a pleasant greeting. Her parents won't be able to invite her back into her home because she didn't marry me. It will be even worse if she decides to come back here my father will kill her." I explained.
"I understand sir." I heard him say before he left the room.
Seriously Allie has messed up big time.
Allie's POV
Half an hour had passed since Damien had left my room, the alarm clock in the room read 6.30 pm. I heard a set of keys jingling and I knew someone was unlocking my door Demy peaked into the doorway before speaking to me again.
"Madam I have been given orders from the master to bring you down to dinner." She spoke shyly.
"I'm not hungry." I exclaimed.
"Please it would be wise to come downstairs to have some dinner; master would not be pleased with my work." She sounded worried after saying that.
"Fine I'll go down." I stated before following her out of the bedroom. She closed the door behind us and I followed her through various corridors, down a large staircase until we were on the ground floor. She turned to the right and stopped at a door that was the second door from the kitchen. She opened it for me before I stepped inside observing the room.
It was magnificent, there was a large fireplace on my right with a portrait of a woman that hung on the wall above the fireplace, she looked exquisite, she had gorgeous blonde long hair tied up into a fancy bun, beautiful green eyes, a gorgeous curved face, and she wore a long blue linen dress that hid her shoes and legs well. Her arms were very pale, and she held some flowers in her hands. In the backround there was a lovely blue sky almost like midnight blue with a sea behind her. I wondered who had painted this fantastic portrait of the woman.
"Will you turn around?" I heard Damien order. When I turned around I noticed he was sitting at a large brown wooden table, there were lovely blue curtains that had been pulled back to give the room a view of the sunset, there were also three candles on the table. One was sitting in the middle of the large table, one of them sat in front of him on the left and the other sat on the right hand side.
"Sit down please." He gave me yet another order.
"The woman in the portrait who is she?" I questioned.
"None: of your concern: Allie." He roared.
"Then I am not sitting with you." I commented.
He immediately got up from his chair at the table and walked towards me before pushing me against the wall, and grabbed my wrists tightly holding them above my head and breathing near me.
"You'll do as you're told or else I will kill you." He whispered seductively.
"No I won't." I snapped.
"Oh yes you will." He smirked before leaning in and leaving a trail of soft kisses down my neck before moving up towards my throat until finally he had reached my lips. It wasn't a cheesy kiss but it was soft and gentle. Although: it felt as if it had a bit of longing in it. After a few minutes he pulled away breaking the kiss.
"Please sit down Allie." He softened his tone. I sighed before I made my way to the right hand side but before I could sit down, I noticed that he had moved and had reached the chair before I had. He pulled out my chair for me, I sat down and he moved my chair in for me like a gentleman would.
"Thank you." I thanked him just before he had moved back to his own seat. I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." I heard Damien say loudly.
Immediately a maid came in quickly, her hands were shaking like mad as she was holding on to a tray with some food on it, she was also followed by another maid I think it was Demy. The girl in front of Demy looked about fourteen years of age; she had strawberry blonde hair, brown eyes, a curved face, creamed pale coloured skin. She also wore a black long sleeved top with a black skirt that had white stripes on the back of it, and had a pair of black pumps to cover her pale feet. She looked as if she was about five foot six. As she made her way towards the table she placed the tray down in front of Damien until I heard him speak.
"Thank you Elle. Why are you so shaky?" He asked softly.
"I do not know master; I sometimes just get shakes when I am carrying cutlery." She answered shyly.
"Well then why did you not tell me in the first place?" He asked.
"I didn't want you to worry." She replied.
"In future if you have trouble with anything just come to me I don't bite Elle. Now thank you for the food you may go back and do the rest of your duties." He gave her a dismissive nod.
Demy on the other hand had placed my tray down, the food made my mouth water just by looking at it. I had lovely pasta with tuna in it, a glass of orange juice and a small bowl of grapes in it. I looked up at Damien to see if he had the same meal as me.
"I hope you enjoy your meal Miss Jenkins." Demy said. I thanked her before she left the room.
"Eat up." I heard Damien say.
I stuck into the food without another word; I looked up for a minute to notice that he had been watching me the whole time. Really what was his problem? Can he not eat his meal without looking at me? I felt really irritated.
"What?" I questioned.
"You're so cute when you're angry." He commented.
"Shut up already!" I shouted.
"Don't tell me what to do young lady!" He retorted. Damn him I can't even eat in peace without him watching me like a hawk as if I was his prey or something that he wanted to eat or most likely kill.
"Finish up your dinner." He demanded.
I quickly finished up my dinner. I didn't notice that he was no longer in his seat until I felt a large warm hand being placed on one of my shoulders.
"You look so beautiful in that dress." He whispered in my ear making me shiver in response. Damn these shivers and damn him I really do not want to get these shivers and yet that sexy voice of his is just making me shiver what an asshole. I stayed quiet listening to him until he started to leave a trail of small kisses down my neckline and up my jaw line.
"I need to go over a few set of rules with you." He whispered again.
"Why must there be a set of rules?" I stuttered.
"So that you don't try to run away: from your home." I could feel him smirking behind me.
"This isn't my home!" I raised my voice.
"Oh yes it is missy!" He roared back.
We stayed there in silence for a moment or two until he decided to speak to me again breaking the long silence.
"Shall I explain the rules now?" He asked.
I nodded.
"There will be no nodding towards me Allie you either reply with a yes or no to my question."
"Yes Damien." I answered.
"Do not call me that I thought I told you to either call me sir or master." He sounded angry.
"Yes master." I replied trying to hide the sarcasm in my voice.
He lifted my chin up again so I would have to look up at him again.
"You're very bad at trying to hide your sarcasm in your voice." He purred. I stayed quiet I really couldn't be bothered with arguing with him right now.
"Rule number one don't ever run away from your home. Respect it." He paused before continuing with his so called rules.
"Rule number two don't ever disrespect me because there will be consequences if you ever do. Rule number three don't call me by my name unless you have been given permission to do so by me. Rule number four: don't speak out of turn and rule number five don't ever disobey me." He explained the rules with authority in his tone.
I stayed quiet for a moment or two since I didn't want to make him angry, why did he have to treat me like a child? I was eighteen years old and right now I felt as if I was being treated like a child.
He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room leading me upstairs towards another bedroom on the top floor. The second door on the left, when he opened it I couldn't believe my eyes it looked like the room from one of my dreams, the curtains were a pale, reddish pinkish colour, the bed had emerald green sheets on it along with a set of green pillows the same shade as the sheets. It was a king-sized bed. There was a large wardrobe in front of the bed. A bathroom next to the wardrobe and two bedside tables one on each side of the bed.
"This will be your room my room is next door. Now there are some lovely clothes already in your own wardrobe. But as always I have to explain one other rule to you. Don't go to the west wing it's out of bounds. Only my staff and I are allowed to go there." He explained.
"Can I not even have a sneak a peek of the west wing?" I pouted.
"No you may not Allie. Also all of the rooms including yours will close at 10.00 pm sharp. If you behave yourself I might even let you become a maid here in my household. I cannot say our household since you haven't really treated me like a fiancée should treat her husband to be." He excluded.
"Please just let me call you by your actual name I don't like calling you master." I admitted.
"Tough: luck Allie. But of course when it comes to the wedding you may call me by my name." He winked.
"What if I don't want to marry you?" I made it more of a statement and less of a question.
"Well I could always make you." He said with dominance in his voice. He had the most gorgeous voice ever, his eyes were lovely, and his lips looked as if they were ready to be kissed. I wish he knew the effect that he had on me but then again I hate him with a passion.
"I hate you!" I shouted.
He chuckled as if I had amused him in somewhat manner. He walked closer towards me and without warning he crushed his lips with mine roaming his hands all over my body while sucking and nibbling at my neck.
"Please." I said biting my lips trying my best to not let a moan escape my lips.
"Please what?" He smirked.
At first I really wanted to say give me more but I wouldn't submit to his touch.
"Please stop." I stuttered once again. He continued to kiss me up to my collarbone until I heard him sigh with frustration.
"You're going to have to do better than this in order to make me believe that you want me to stop Allie. I'll leave you for today though." He exclaimed leaving me in my room and locking the door behind him. I felt like an animal in its cage but at the same time I loved and hated being in the company of my fiancée that I had to referred to as master.

Damien's POV
She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, Allie had grown up into a beautiful woman, I knew she loved my touch and she gave me the satisfaction that she loved my touch due to her moans. But she wouldn't admit it since she had asked me to stop kissing her but I knew sooner or later she would be begging me to continue. The thought of it just makes me chuckle I must admit. I had left the room to leave her almost breathless, she was mine, and mine only. Nobody could have her, not Aidan, nobody but me. I continued to walk through the corridor on the top floor making my way downstairs until I heard the sound of sobbing. I followed the sound of the sobbing and it had led me to one of the living rooms on the ground floor. One of the maids were sitting on one of the sofas, she had her face buried in her hands. I sighed slightly frustrated by the fact that she was weeping instead of working.
I ambled into the living room taking a seat beside her on one of the sofas to see what the matter with her was.
"What is wrong?" I tried not to bark out. She lifted her head up out of her hands; I could see that her face had now been tearstained from all the crying she had been doing. Sometimes Elle was like this but I have never seen her face so tearstained like this before even her own eyes are puffy and sore looking.
"Damien I feel lost." She looks as if something or someone had really made her depressed.
"What is wrong?" I repeated my question since she had not yet answered my question.
"I got a text from my boyfriend he dumped me just now." She exclaimed.
Great so she has stopped working because her boyfriend dumped her.
"Well that is life it's not like in the movies you know not everyone finds their happily ever after you know Elle. There is no point in wasting your time crying over some jerk." I explained.
"But I really did love him Damien." She blurted out. I growled hearing her calling me by my actual name and not master or sir. She knew fine rightly she wasn't allowed to call me by my actual name because I hadn't given her permission to do that.
"Never call me by my actual name!" I growled.
"I'm sorry master, please don't punish me." She pleaded.
"Elle so what if you really loved him, the point is he didn't really love you because if he did he wouldn't have dumped you in the first place. You're going to find someone someday that will love you for who you are." I patted her on the shoulder trying to comfort her.
"He left me for another girl because he said that I was rubbish at having you know what with him. But it was my first time I didn't want to do it with him at first but he kept rushing things. I tried telling my best friend but she wouldn't listen at the time. I feel so impure." I heard her sob again.
I sighed before pulling her close to me and allowing her to rest her head against my chest it wasn't every day that I would allow my maids or any members of my staff to do this so she could consider herself lucky.
"He's a jerk and it wasn't your fault that you lost your virginity to him. It was his fault that he peer pressured you into having it with him and for leaving you. If I had been there I would've told him to piss off. But you're not impure even if you're not a virgin anymore you shouldn't feel like this. You're still pure as ever. You'll always be pure and don't take any notice of anyone who decides to backstab you if they ever do because they are low lives and you'll always be a very pure girl who deserves better than that asshole does Oh and you're still very innocent." I kissed her on the forehead before pulling her into a hug. It had been understandable why she had been crying. I felt so sorry for her she was in love and she had given everything to that boyfriend who had left her in return for loving him. I hated men like that it was just disgusting and despicable the way they treated girls like Elle.
"Now dry your tears because it's no use in crying over a jerk like him get back to work now. Your work is more important than time wasters like him." I told her before sitting up from the sofa and giving her a small smile hoping that my advice had made her feel better. It took her a few minutes to get up from the sofa and give me a hug without warning.
"Thank you for the advice master." She whispered softly before breaking the hug and leaving the living room with a smile on her face returning to her duties I assumed. I sat back down on the sofa looking up at the sky until I decided to sit up again and walk out of the living room and walked into the hallway making my way towards the garden outside the house before being cautious of my surroundings before transforming into a wolf and ran off making my way into the forest.

Allie's POV
Fuck why can I not stop thinking about that dipshit that I must call master? I can't believe one night I am at the cinema, then running out of a church because I refuse to marry Aidan because I don't love him, I faint in a forest and now I end up here in a mansion living with a sexy and annoying man. Will I ever get out of here? I hate him so much more than I hate Aidan actually. Yes I had to admit this to myself my thoughts had taken me to nothing but the events of last night and of the man who kept me in this house that I considered a prison.
I didn't want to be in this dress anymore I couldn't believe it was only 8.00 pm it felt later than that. I opened the doors to my wardrobe where all the clothes that were considered as mine were hung up on coat hangers. I looked through the wardrobe taking out a purple v neck tank top, a pair of navy blue trousers, and a pair of black pumps. After getting dressed into the casual outfit and out of my dress I felt more like myself. I walked towards my bedroom door trying to turn the door knob but it wouldn't open since it was locked. Oh yes I almost forgot the beautiful bastard had locked me in. I sighed this really wasn't the way I wanted to live. I wanted to be free, free from all this hassle and from this stupid situation. If what Damien said was true then I would be completely and utterly mad at my parents they should've told me about my betrothal to this gorgeous sexy bastard. I had the right to know. Now I'm engaged to a man that I am already living with. I hated him completely.
I gazed out of my bedroom window; I had one amazing view from the window I had to admit. I could see the garden, a few mountains in the distance with the sunset shining over them with rays of pink, yellow and orange in it. I found it beautiful. However as much as I wanted to continue to fall into an endless daydream I couldn't because his words reverberated in my mind "Feel free to look around the house but don't go too far on your own you might get lost." Damn him I want to look around the house but how can I when the door is locked? Stupid: male. I thought until I heard the sound of jingling and I knew someone was turning the key and unlocking my bedroom door. I stayed where I was next to one of my bedroom windows while the door opened slightly and one of the maids came in.
My eyes widened when she asked to come in and I nodded. It was the maid I had seen at dinner with the strawberry blonde hair but I didn't catch her name.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"My name is Elle." She answered shyly while walking towards me for a moment leaving an awkward silence in the room.
"I'm Allie." I introduced myself.
"I was thinking maybe I could show you around the house madam." She spoke sweetly.
"May I not show myself around the house?" I asked.
"Master would prefer you to be shown around the house by one of his staff members." She responded pleasantly.
"So you thought you would volunteer to show me around?" I assumed feeling slightly agitated.
"Yes madam." She replied trying her best to not sound annoyed by this.
"I would prefer to be allowed to find things on my own." I mumbled.
"Look, can I show you around the house or not?" She said getting a little bit impatient with me.
"Why does the master not allow me to go around the house? He told me to feel free to look around the house but not to go too far on my own in case I get lost. I really would prefer to show myself around the house." I stated I was really irritated now.
"He does allow you to go around the house I just thought it would be nice to show you around the house." She sighed as if I had done something or had said something wrong. If there's one thing I dislike about some girls is that they sigh in front of you as if you have said or have done something wrong I just find them impudent and despicable you could call those type of girls sluts if you were in my shoes.
"Then why did he lock my bedroom door? Such: an asshole." I muttered the last word. I hoped she hadn't have heard me but just before she was able to tell me off for saying such a thing about Damien. The man himself barged into my room. He smirked up at me as if he had heard what I had just said there. He turned his gaze quickly towards Elle and gave her a death glare.
"Elle please leave the room I have to teach my Princess a lesson." He said with authority in his tone.
Without another word Elle obeyed and left the room, I guessed he had his own set of keys with him safely hidden in his trouser pockets. He closed the door after Elle had left the room and locked the room before making his way towards me.
"So I'm an asshole am I?" He smirked; his tone was a mixture of dangerous, seductive, charming and soft. It was like pure rich velvet if you ask me but it was deep and beautiful.
"I hate you!" I screeched before being pinned to one of the walls in the room, he had grabbed me by the wrists and had pinned them above my head. I tried kicking him but he wouldn't even budge.
"I dare you to repeat that sentence missy." He whispered seductively.
"I hate you." I returned the whisper only to have him pressing up against me, seriously is he on drugs or something? Is this his daily routine to introduce himself, then have dinner with me disappear for a while then come back only to try and seduce me more? There was no point in trying to kick or to push him away because he was stronger than me maybe even stronger than his half brother.
"You can't hate me." He whispered while tugging his fingers on my dark hair.
"Yes I can." I struggled to get the words to come out.
He stopped kissing me and stared at me for a moment, his emerald green eyes were so beautiful.
"You have lovely pale blue eyes almost as if they were deep water." He complimented me.
"Is this your way of trying to chat me up?" I didn't break eye contact with him.
"I wouldn't call this chatting you up. I would just say it's a compliment." He said.
"Why did you come back to my room then?" I blurted out.
"I came back because I thought I would show you around the mansion myself." He responded.
"I thought you said that I could feel free to look around the mansion myself." I really was annoyed now.
"Yeah well I have changed my mind now either you let me show you around the mansion or stay here and not come out at all." He spoke with authority once again.
"I'm not some dog you can command you know to obey every order you come up with." I folded my arms across my chest before walking back towards my bed and sitting down on the bed.
"You'll obey my every order even if I have to force you." He growled fiercely. Okay wait a minute did he actually just growl there? Did he really just growl there like a wild animal? I hope I am imagining things because there is no way a person like him could just growl like a wild animal unless he has mental problems. I shook off those thoughts while looking away from him. I did want to look around this mansion of his but not with him.
"Oh really and how are you going to force me? Really I would love to know." I knew I was getting on like a teenage girl instead of an adult but I was too pissed off right now.
"I could lock you in here for all eternity and not let anyone see you, no visitors except for the members of staff here. If locking you in here for all eternity is what it takes to knock some sense into you then I will gladly do you the favour." He walked over until he was towering, over me on the bed looking straight into my eyes, for a moment I felt as if I had been paralysed as if I couldn't stop gazing into those eyes of his. I know this might sound crazy but as I was gazing into those eyes for a brief moment I thought I had seen an emotion but I could only guess what the emotion might've been. I thought it was either sorrow or longing for something or for someone but he covered the emotion up splendidly I must say because I could not only figure out what emotion he held in his eyes because when he had straightened himself up all I could see was coldness in his eyes and an unknown emotion on his features.
"Allie I do not really want to fight with you over this but you have two choices here come with me so I can show you around or be a stubborn jackass and stay in here for all eternity the choice is yours." He exclaimed before getting off the bed and started to make his way towards the door until I told him to wait which left a great grin on his face.
"Fine I'll come with you but please do not keep me locked up in here like an animal." I suggested.
"Will you promise not to escape if I keep your room unlocked?" He stroked my face lovingly for a moment while not breaking eye contact with me.
"I promise." I blurted out once again, the shivers going up and down my spine vigorously while my so called master looked up with me full of lust.
"Come with me then Allie." I could still hear the dominance in his deep pure voice, really why did one simple thing have to have this effect on me? I hate him and yet he has this effect on me I don't understand this at all and probably never will. Yes maybe it is like the same effect that Aidan had on me only more powerful, more demanding and more lustful may I add.
I continued to ramble on behind him with my head down and yes you can imagine what happened next without me realising it he had actually stopped outside my bedroom and I had bumped into his back making myself fall down on the ground. He turned around for a moment smirking down at me.
"Really you have to learn when to stop instead of falling down on the ground like this." He chuckled pulling me back up on to my feet.
"Oh just show me around the house will you?" I really was not in a funny mood.
"Listen missy you don't make the rules or give the orders around here that I believe is my job not yours." He growled once again.
"Oh yeah and what is my job?" I spoke harshly towards him.
"To be my fiancée that's your job." He spoke back in the same tone.
"I really am getting sick of you today." I mumbled.
"Do you want to repeat that again?" His voice, threatening while grabbing me by my waist and pulling me towards him, he made his grip around my waist very tight. He acted as if I weighed no more than a feather would. He was so bloody strong.
He continued to squeeze me tightly.
"I really am sick of you." I just about got the words out looking up at him pleadingly while he still looked as if he wanted to kill someone possibly me since I had been the one pissing him off today so much.
"Well I am sick of you too now shut up or get crushed." He threatened me again.
"Okay." I said. He chuckled at my reply.
"I said shut up pet that means don't say another word to me for the rest of the day." He softened his tone before letting go of me. I coughed for a minute or two until I got my breath back and stayed quiet while I walked with him around the house.
I stayed quiet but boy not that I am complaining or anything but it was hard to keep quiet in a way since he is such an asshole, any girl like me if there were any girls like me out there would probably wonder how he was able to afford a place as big as this. But then again he is just another rich asshole I reminded myself as we were walking through various corridors. He showed me around the top door, telling me that the east and west wing were both out of bounds. Somehow I couldn't seem to really focus on what he was saying only on the colour of his eyes, no before you even say it I wasn't falling for him and I wouldn't, I couldn't fall for this man.
I had to somehow stop myself from gazing into those supreme eyes of his; they were not only alluring but also a unique shade of emerald green. Any girl would fall for this man's looks right? But would they know that he is a monster that has his own ways of playing games with women's hearts? I bet they wouldn't.
We continued to walk around the house until we had reached downstairs on the ground floor I assumed since he was standing in front of the front of the house where lovely gardens surrounded the outside of the house. Flowers of many were growing in various parts of the gardens, it was then I looked down and had noticed that he had grazed one of his big soft hands into one of mine. Compare to his hands mine were quite fragile, pale and small often cold I have been told in the past by some people.
I was about to walk outside into the gardens only to find myself been hoisted up by my master I didn't know whether or not I should refer to him as my fiancée yet. He was very handsome I will admit that now. At first I wanted to complain about him lifting me up or even to ask what had caused him to carry me in his strong warm arms. But at once I remembered his words he wanted me to stay quiet. Not often would I be so submissive to anyone. Sometimes I would end up bending the rules or even breaking them in my own house but I was mainly a good girl towards my parents. I loved them dearly and yet I couldn't help but feel a wash of pure guilt rushing through my veins as if it was a constant reminder of what I had done last night.
He carried me through various parts of the glorious gardens that were exquisite I also noticed the large fountain on the left-hand side of the garden not too far away from the entrance of this mansion. It was a cream-coloured shade of concrete white with an angel on the top of it praying, the water kept coming up and down as if on a command it would go down on the way to the bottom and disappear by magic any child would think and then come back up after a few seconds.
I could say that Damien had been blessed with the fine qualities of courage, pride, honour and fastidiousness and maybe full of love but I could not see that emotion coming from him not yet anyway. He was different even if others could or would not see that he was different from his half-brother Aidan. They were both annoying but Damien was more demanding, more threatening and more strict and cautious especially when it came to something or someone that he cared about or even belonged to him.
We continued to walk through the gardens until we reached a small wooden brown bench next to one of the grey walls outside the house that had a view of the flowers, the fountain and a pool that could be seen on the right. As if I was something fragile and precious to him he sat me down gently on the bench before taking a seat next to me and pulling me close to him until I was leaning against his hard-toned chest that could be seen through his shirt.
"Stay with me." He didn't make that sound like an order or a demand like earlier, it was more of a statement with an emotion yet again I could not tell. When I gazed up into his eyes again, the coldness was no longer in them. The coldness had been replaced by what looked like compassion or something as if he had or has been yearning for something or someone for a very long time. I gulped until he crashed his lips with mine for a brief moment before pulling away.
I remained quiet, I wanted to speak, and I wanted to ask him why he kept saying this. What was so important to him that I stayed with him? It wasn't as if I was going to leave him or try and run away from him. Of course I could always try and run away but then again it would be a mistake to cross him and go back to my parents something told me I couldn't go back to them because if I did who knows what the outcome would be like.
In a few moments I found myself closing my eyes and doing something I never thought I would do especially to someone that I still considered as my kidnapper. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cuddled into him closing my eyes, inhaling and exhaling his cologne scent, he smelt so fresh and his body was also warm. "I'll stay." I found myself whispering. For a moment I thought I had seen him smiling down at me as if he had been pleased with what he had just heard.
He lifted me up on to his lap and cradled me like a baby in his lap back and forth until I found myself falling asleep in his arms.
Damien's POV
At first I had enjoyed the silence between us it had been good to not hear her whining like a two year old not getting its toy or something but I could see that when she had finally calmed down I thought it would be good just to tell her those words again that I had said just a few hours ago. Of course maybe she wouldn't or ever know the actual reason why I wanted her to stay here with me but I couldn't tell her now it would be too soon. I must say I never thought she would've cuddle into me and wrap her hands around my neck, I bet she didn't even know what she was doing or saying anymore since she was weary of today's events I guessed. However even though I had told her to be quiet for the rest of the day I couldn't help but smile at her response to my request that was still opened to her. Perhaps in the morning she would be back to her old self and be whining as usual about why she has to live her but to be honest I am just happy now that I can endure this moment with Allie.
I cradled her happily back and forth like a baby in my arms and in a few minutes she fell asleep happily in my arms, I looked at her sleeping form, she looked so peaceful almost like an angel. Her dark long hair almost reached her skinny waist, and also she looked fragile as if anything could hurt her if she ever fell.
I understood why Allie considered her new home a prison it was because she missed her family but then again she has to realise that she can't return to her parents house it would be dangerous and the possibility of her coming back to her parents house would be slim. She would be killed by my half-brother's father without a second thought but if she stayed here with me far away in the countryside she would be safe. Just as long as she stayed out of the forest and stayed here she would be safe of course that was another rule that she would have to learn to obey. But I would have to tell her that tomorrow right now I just wanted to relax with my Princess in my arms.
Being a wolf you see gave me perfect hearing so I could hear what Allie was saying from miles away and what she was thinking also. Earlier on when I had gone out into the forest to hunt I had caught nothing but a beaver, it was hard to find something in the forest sometimes especially with men hunting down wild beasts that are creatures of the forest and traps that are set in order to catch an animal as wild as I am. I heaved a sigh from my lips while gazing up at the moonlit sky the maiden that brought the wolves into the place known as earth was no longer happy, she was sad but then again it was her duty to protect animals like the wolves and did she? Not anymore which made me growl at times out of anger. If the maiden up there did not care whether or not we lived or died then why were we brought into this world? I growled quietly before watching Allie move slightly in my arms.
Unlike werewolves I was just a wolf I could shift from a wolf into a human and back from a human into a wolf any time I wanted I didn't have to wait for a full moon to show up. I pulled Allie even closer to me stroking her soft cheeks that were now cold. It had become quite cold out here I must admit, I carried her back into the house. I walked through the hallway, up the stairs all the way until I had reached the top floor and opened the door to her room quietly with my free hand before kicking it shut behind me.
I walked towards her bed before lying her down on the duvet, I ambled up towards her wardrobe and continued to search quietly through her clothes until I found a perfect white nightdress it was a pure white long-sleeved nightdress that would cover her pale arms and legs. I placed it down upon the bed before undressing her and placing the nightdress on her. It fitted perfectly I thought. I placed the duvet covers up near her chest so she would warm up soon.
I quickly got undressed having nothing but my boxers on and slipped into the bed beside her pulling her gently towards my chest until she was leaning against it, she would warm up shortly I knew.
"Goodnight Allie." I whispered before kissing her on her forehead and finding myself drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Allie's POV
Dream x
I walked through the forest, the moonlight was blissful it gave the forest a light so it wouldn't be so dark at night, I couldn't help but wonder though if someone or something was following me. The moonlit sky had been full of stars that twinkled throughout the moonlight, and along with the stars came a full moon to shine over any piece of land or ground in the forest. I stopped for a moment only to hear the sound of movement; my heartbeat sped up while the moving of the animal or of someone continued to get louder.
"Who's there?" I started to panic while the movements got louder and louder, I closed my eyes until the movements stopped.
"Allie there's no need to be afraid." The voice wasn't husky but more of reassuring and soft. Almost like pure rich velvet.
I opened my eyes slowly only to come face to face with a beautiful wolf, it was white pure white except for the tail; the tip of the tail was grey. The eyes were a light green strangely enough but they had some sort of greyish blue in them.
"You can talk." I said astonished.
"So can you." The wolf replied.
"You're able to understand me?" The words blurted out of my mouth.
"All animals can understand humans in their own way. We don't all need words to speak." The animal responded without even having to move its mouth to speak.
It was a male wolf; he slowly nudged me before taking me deep within the forest until we came to one of the trees that had beautiful silvery roots around the entrance of it. He continued to motion me to follow him; I obeyed of course without being stubborn. I felt too weary to be stubborn. He led me inside the tree, there was a beautiful statue a shape of a large angel with her hands together praying I assumed. I yawned quietly until I felt the wolf pulling me gently by one of my sleeves from my dress. He led me to what looked like a dead end but to him it was something else. He turned towards me again speaking again in that voice that sounded so familiar as if I had heard it from somewhere before.
"Pull on the large branch next to this door." He instructed me. I wanted to question him but I was far too tired.
I walked closer towards him noticing that there were a few branches connected above what was called a door a small door I should say. I pulled on the first one but nothing happened I tried again pulling it down with a necklace that was lying on the branch but nothing happened.
"Say the magic words." I heard the wolf giving me another instruction.
"I would if I knew what they were." I noted.
I heard the wolf sigh either in disappointment or in frustration.
"You must save us Allie, you must save me." He spoke softly.
"What are you talking about?" I really did feel confused.
"You obviously have not started to read the book I see." He looked up at me with pleading eyes.
"What book?" I was even more confused now.
"Soon she will return, take back what was once hers and kill the man who destroyed her heart. Our time is near and so is mine, light a candle if you dare, the man you love is not a monster only the monster shall come and if she ever does she will stop at nothing to fulfil the curse which has been laid upon the forest of nature. Only a true Princess can break the curse and is the mother of all nature, save us, save him, and save me. Read the book; learn quickly before the last sunset rises. Shall dawn come and take us away pray we never return you'll see what comes next. Shall fire spread through the land do not be shy my dear but heed my words long and clear for one of you will not return?" He spoke in riddles. What does he mean? Who will not return?
"What do you mean? Who will not return? What book?" I started to get frustrated.
"The book Allie, find the book in the library, shall I not be so alone fear not dear one but I shall not be gone for long, if you ever come across my heart please do not fall apart, fall in love whenever you can but please do not become part of a clan. You shall hear my name throughout the land; the maiden shall speak whenever she hears your name. Take care my dear the forest may be a dangerous land, shall you venture into the forest do not fear my name but do not bury your heart dear one for your heart is as pure as the modern daylight." He continued to speak in rhyme, in riddles what does he mean?
"What book?" I repeated my question.
"In the library at the far east you shall find in a safe, it will be about the forest of nature. Read the book Allie, read the book, save us, save him and save me for one of us shall not be free." He grinned evilly; I looked away for a moment before bringing my gaze back to where the wolf had been standing only to find him no longer there. He left me here all alone and now I must find out what the wolf meant, are the riddles important? If they are important I must find out soon what they mean, I must read and find the book to see if they hold any answers to those riddles that the wolf had spoken in.
I sighed repeating the whole riddle in my head.
"Soon she will return, take back what was once hers and kill the man who destroyed her heart. Our time is near and so is mine, light a candle if you dare. The man you love is not a monster only the monster shall come and if she ever does she will stop at nothing to fulfil the curse which has been laid upon the forest of nature. Only a true Princess can break the curse and is the mother of all nature, save us, save him, and save me. Read the book; learn quickly before the last sunset rises. Shall dawn come and take us away pray we never return you'll see what comes next. Shall fire spread through the land do not be shy my dear but heed my words long and clear for one of you will not return? , shall I not be so alone fear not dear one but I shall not be gone for long, if you ever come across my heart please do not fall apart, fall in love whenever you can but please do not become part of a clan. You shall hear my name throughout the land; the maiden shall speak whenever she hears your name. Take care my dear the forest may be a dangerous land, shall you venture into the forest do not fear my name but do not bury your heart dear one for your heart is as pure as the modern daylight. Read the book, save us, save him and save me for one of us shall not be free." I repeated the whole riddle repeatedly as if it was something important to me, as if I wanted to bury it into my memory. They defiantly meant something but what did they mean? There was defiantly a warning behind every single word but I could not find the meaning of them.
I ended up closing my eyes until I found myself falling into darkness wondering who was that wolf? I had defiantly heard that voice somewhere before. What was the wolf's name? I had fallen into darkness leaving the whole world behind.
End of Dream x
I woke up slowly only to find myself lying against Damien's chest, it was so warm. Surprisingly he was also awake looking at me in concern.
"Allie what is the matter? Bad dream?" Since when did he become so protective and concern about me? I looked towards the bedroom window only to see that it was still dark outside.
"What time is it?" I questioned him.
"Its midnight: Allie." He spoke softly while kissing my forehead.
"Yes I had a dream but I wouldn't have called it bad. I would've called it confusing." I stated.
"Tell me what did you find confusing about your dream?" He asked clearly interested in the subject.
"I don't want to say." I muttered.
"Answer me!" He now growled angrily.
"Okay master. There was a wolf in the dream everything was fine at first until we were inside this tree in the forest and he started to speak in riddles I do not know what they mean I do not even know if they are important or not but they certainly have a warning behind each word." I explained.
"Hmm tell me the riddle I'm very good at riddles." He winked.
"Allow me to call you by your actual name and I will." I decided to be stubborn.
"Nice try tell me the riddle." He demanded.
"I cannot remember it." I lied I have to find that book in the library I must find it.
"You're a terrible liar let me think does it start and end like this? Soon she will return, take back what was once hers and kill the man who destroyed her heart. Our time is near and so is mine, light a candle if you dare. The man you love is not a monster only the monster shall come and if she ever does she will stop at nothing to fulfil the curse which has been laid upon the forest of nature. Only a true Princess can break the curse and is the mother of all nature, save us, save him, and save me. Read the book; learn quickly before the last sunset rises. Shall dawn come and take us away pray we never return you'll see what comes next. Shall fire spread through the land do not be shy my dear but heed my words long and clear for one of you will not return? , shall I not be so alone fear not dear one but I shall not be gone for long, if you ever come across my heart please do not fall apart, fall in love whenever you can but please do not become part of a clan. You shall hear my name throughout the land; the maiden shall speak whenever she hears your name. Take care my dear the forest may be a dangerous land, shall you venture into the forest do not fear my name but do not bury your heart dear one for your heart is as pure as the modern daylight. Read the book, save us, save him and save me for one of us shall not be free." Oh my: gosh when he spoke the riddle he sounded just like the wolf had done in my dream. I wanted to say something but before I could he pulled me closer to him so he could claim my lips. After a while he had broken the kiss and had started smiling that lovingly soft smile before whispering in my ear seductively again.
"Go to sleep my beautiful Princess." And within seconds I found myself obeying his wish and falling asleep in Damien's arms.
