Heart Of A Beast

THE HEART OF A BEAST

Is there a good way to be scared? You make me burn everywhere....

- Rina -

Was on the point of opening the door when I heard a growl, in fact a very loud one! that only happen when the beast is angry or something, I hurried back stopping in front of the salon.

Without hesitation I thrust the door open and came face to face with Damien huge brown golden wolf, it was standing like a predictor as it stalk towards his cousin. Oh no! I gave a startled cry. "What the hell has gotten into you Damien.I swear I have no idea she's your mate" Philip cried backing away from the wolf, I have an idea Philip knew it was useless attacking Damien back even in his wolf wolf.

Damien would rip him apart without a single thought, I can't let what happened to Jordan happen to Alpha Philip but at the same time I was scared as fuck.

Philip look over at me "Do something, if he kills me, the family is gonna blame him and turn against him" He pleaded.

Without thinking again, I ran and stood between Damien wolf and his cousin, he stop immediately he saw me growling angrily,probably for me to go away,I got this! I told myself over and over again as I step closer to the wolf.

Inside I was shivering with fear, slowly I crease his furs, gradually it begin to release all the tension and few minutes later he calm down completely and shifted.

I turn away from him then quickly ran out of the room in case he change his mind and lash out on me but one thing was certain, I was damn happy cause I can't believe I stop the mate from killing Alpha Philip so was this the power Deya was talking about?

I decided to talk to her immediately who knows if I find out more about it I could stop the beast from doing a lot of bad things and who knows change for good, I found Deya in the kitchen doing dishes. "Deya" I call walking over to her, I suddenly bump into someone's leg and fell flat in my face, everyone stop what they were doing and stare at me. Deya rush towards me to help me up and I stare at the person's leg I had bump into.

It was no other than Maya and she has a smug smile on her face, I tried straighten up but once I did, I winced...no doubt I had sprain my ankle in the process and it all pretty bad.

With tears glittering in my eyes I stare at Maya wishing I could just choke the life out if her and to think I was pitying her.

"Oh my God did you hurt yourself" She gasped in a fake tone.

"What is going on here" Madam ask, at the obvious crowd that had gathered around me, everyone begin to leave, Maya smirk at me one last time before leaving, while Deya and Madam help me sit down. "Alpha can't find her here so I suggest you take her back to his quarters while I get something for her to use on that ankle. Sprain right?" Madam asked directing her last question to me.

I could only nodded, Deya do as she was told and help me to the beast room, I was glad he wasn't in the room cause I might be force to tell him who did this to me, I don't want him killing people anymore. "You shouldn't have come to the kitchen, she has been looking for a way to hurt you ever since she was rip off her position" Deya told me.

"I wanted to talk to you about something and I don't care about what Maya does, since she has hurt me I hope she's happy now" I replied.

"Happy? I guess you don't know her then" She disappeared into the other room I came back with a face towel and a bowl of water, i stare at her confuse as she kneel in front of me,then I realize what she wanted to do and relax.

"You mean she will attempt to hurt me each time?" My heart skip a bit as Deya nodded in agreement.

If I tell the beast about it then no doubt he's going to kill Maya, I don't think I want her death on me, all I have to do is understand her I get it not easy being the Alpha favorite then one day you wake up and you're not.

"Why did you came to the kitchen? You seems eager and worried to talk to me earlier is everything alright" She gently place the wet towel on my sprain ankle, I almost moan in relief as I lean back against the couch I was sitting on.

"Something happened today Deya" I went ahead to explain everything that had occur to her not missing a bit.

"What happened over there is very natural, if you had knowledge of how the werewolves work then what happened wouldn't have come as a surprise. Alpha's are very over protective and possessive about their mate, when Alpha Philip looked at you that way...naturally Alpha Damien sees him as a threat and his instance and wolf would want Alpha Philip dead immediately. Good thing you stopped him" She smile sweetly at me.

I tried absorbing what she just told me then frown when I realize she hasn't even answered my question. "I mean why was I be able to stop him?".

"There are still stages in a werewolves mate life, the bond, the marking and the mating,which one have you guys done? Mating huh?" She smirked.

I blushed even though I had no idea what she was talking about at the same time I had a feeling it was something naughty well thanks to Damien for corrupting my poor innocent thoughts.

The door opened without a single knock, Deya bow in respect and immediately hurried out of the room after murmuring she would be back to take care of the ankle, I risk looking over at Damien to see him staring at me from head to toes probably wondering what was wrong with me.

"Come here" He said at last.

But I can't move, I wanted to tell him,okay if I do Maya would be dead so I better just pretend everything is okay, I tried masking my thought so he couldn't read my thoughts, I should really meet up with Drake he needs to tell me how to stop Damien from reading my thoughts.

I stood up, wincing inwardly as the pain persistence, I had bearly taken four steps when I staggered and landed on my butt, and all Damien did was stare at me worriedly and amused.

Like seriously? He could have acted like any mate would and catch me before I landed on the floor, I glared up at him.

"I think you should help me up" I told him.

"I think I like you kneeling in front of me" He smirked.

"This isn't very funny you know? I sprain my ankle" I replied desperately.

His smirk vanished immediately and with a look that says trouble he lifted me up and place me back softly on the couch, thinking it was time for him to move back, he only move closer with a finger under my chin he forces me to meet his gaze.

"Why are you trying so hard to keep your thoughts away?" He snarled.

I flinched but refuse to back down if he enjoys reading someone else thought then he better enjoy reading mine, then I started to think about killing him, okay I wouldn't kill him, even if i have the powet to. I just want him to think so.

"Because reading people's thoughts is crazy and creepy" I answered.

He frown darkly probably reading my thoughts then chuckled "Really kitten?" He asked then glance down at my ankle.

"How did that happen?" He raise an eyebrow.

I have a guts feeling that even if I lie he was going to find out, I don't know what to do in this case,I look at him again and my eyes darted to his full red lips...not really red but how well can you describe a really attractive lips?

Before my courage fail me I lean closer to him, I saw him watching me with interest his eyes dancing with an unspoken excitement, as if giving him a chance to back away my lips touch his. Shyly I trace my tongue slowly on the outline of his lips before kissing him back, I have no idea what I was doing but kept on kissing him, when I didn't feel his response I pull away from him.

To my surprise he groan and pull me back kissing me deeper,then kiss me down to my neck, I arch my neck back giving him access, I think this is enough to distract him but who says I wasn't enjoy in this anyway?.

Someone knock on the door, Damien curse and pull away from me "I'm going to kill whosoever that just interrupted us". He growled then walk over to the door, I sigh in relief when I saw it was Drake. "How long do you plan on keeping her lock up" Drake smirked looking from my face to Damien angry expression.

"Fuck off!" He snarled.

Drake shove him aside and help me up, maybe he heard what happened to me but from whom?

"That is no way to talk to a friend. Come along Rina remember the examination I wanted to try on you?" He asked me.

I only nodded then followed him out, i'm surprise he didn't even try stopping us from leaving, I giggled.

*************************

"What sort of examination is this?" I snorted watching as Drake move around the room.

"I'm just looking for a way to make Damien beast react. I need to use it for the examination and just so you know, I have been studying you guys a lot this past few days" He smirked.

"Why are you spying on us? Damien is gonna kill you! And make his beast react? You got a death wish? Look I watch a guy named Jordan being rip apart by Damien when we went to the Alphas meeting. Jordan was trying to make a move on me" I explained slightly out of breath by the time I was done.

"Wow that interesting" He muttered.

"I said he ripped someone apart as in, into two and all you've got to say is interesting?" I rolled my eyes.

Drake just chuckled and wrote something down before looking at me,a serious note in his voice he asked. "What was the color of his eyes when he was about ripping Jordan part, in other incident that happened with Maya, Philip and Jordan tell me the color of his eyes"

I close my eyes for a moment trying to remember each one. "When Maya attacked me and Damien walks in, his eyes were kinda pitch black, when he attack Jordan, I saw a hint of red but it quickly flashes back to black making me wonder if I had imagined it, but I was too scared to focus on that. The red means...meant his demon right?"I ask nervously.

I gasped when Drake nodder slowly, his eyes focused.

Why does his Demon cares?
