The last dance

part 5

Damon had never felt fear like this. The most beautiful woman before him threatened to break the soulmate bond which would kill not only him but her too. With her purple, long pitch black hair, tanned skin and beautiful curves, he fell in love the second he saw her. He didn't know they were soulmates because of all the wolfsbane in his cell and the entire prison. But the second she removed it he felt the bond, it was faint but still singing for him like a calling.

" Please, don't, "he whispered. She tilted her head and looked him straight in the eyes.

" why ?”

“ Because both of us will die if you break the bond “ , Damon said.

This was very useful information, but at the same time she didn’t know if he was bluffing. She had to know if there was any sort of danger to her life from this torture. And the only way to get it was torture.

"So this is what an Alpha werewolf is like," Delaney scoffed. "I expected more teeth. "

Damon gritted his teeth. His wolf was starting to get restless with her and the chains, so he let him forward. His wolf, Dax , started talking to the Queen. "Don't think this cage can contain me, your highness, I am the embodiment of power" He growled.

" Power means nothing without some control, my furry friend. You may have strength , but i have authority and right now you are in my dungeon " Delaney said with a smirk.

Damon's eyes glowed. " Authority ? Your crown won't save you from your fate, when i get out of these chains you will come back to our pack with me", he growled. His eyes shifted from glowing red to his regular dark brown color.

She remained in her upright composure as she looked at him and this time she really looked. He was handsome. She must give him that, but that beast he had within him had quite the attitude.

"We shall see about that, but remember, little alpha, I am not one to be underestimated. My rule is unwavering, even in the face of creatures like you. "

She looked over at his friend who, right now, was lying on the stone floor. Drops of sweat trickled down his forehead. Maybe she overdid it with the Belladonna...just a little bit. With a sigh she waved her hand and some of the belladonna slithered down into the ground again and his breathing got more even.

" Thank you" Damon whispered. Her eyes shot at his. For the first time, she didn't really know what to do right now. This Alpha and his friend were just looking for their soulmates, and she is, well was, looking for her own. Yet the other one still assaulted her friend. Thank god Alice had left to tend to her wounds.

"How far away is your pack? " Delaney asked, eyes still locked in his own too. She needed the information or else the council would start asking too many questions, and she did not need a werewolf as her king.

" Three miles, why?" Damon asked, eyebrows raised. She didn't answer him. Instead, she just turned around and left.

The rest of the day went by fast, and before she knew it, she was in the bath. Steam was everywhere and the smell of lavender and jasmine filled her nostrils. She could stay there forever if she was given the choice. Maybe having a king would do her some good. In that case, all she would ever do was bathe and read her books. Out of nowhere a knock sounded from her door.

" Enter" she called out, Alice came waltzing in with oils.

Delaney gave her a tight smile and had a lot on her mind and she did not want to just throw it at Alice. She has still been a best friend since childhood, but telling someone that their soulmate still lies unconscious in the dungeons after two days doesn't seem so good.

" Are you alright Alice ?" She asked, looking over at her friend.

Alice looked at the stone floor. " I am fine. I know I shouldn't ask but... How is he?"

Why would she want to know? As the Queen looked at her friend, trying to figure out why she wanted to know about the condition of the man who assaulted her. Delaney narrowed her eyes at Alice. " Why do you want to know? He hurt you , and yet you want to care for him?" Alice sighed while closing her eyes.

" I don't know, okay? It's just i get this feeling that i need him and i don't know what to do. Surely you feel the same about the Alpha", Alice said.

Delaney shot up from the bathtub, vines slithering around the entire room. Poisonous thorns sprout from them. Some even went in the direction of her friends.

" DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN OR I WILL HAVE YOUR f*****g HEAD ON A SPIKE" Delaney said through gritted teeth. A burning feeling in her chest. How dare she even utter those words?

Alice drooped to the floor in a deep bow, tears streaming down her eyes as she muttered apology after apology.

" Get out" Delaney said, vines still slithering around her. Alice ran out of the room faster than she had ever seen before.

Sighing, the Queen sat down in her now cold bath, closing her eyes and wondering what the hell she would do now.
