Damon stared through the sky, he could picture the rising the of the moon, this was the third full moon that set for the year, there was one thing werewolves enjoys in full moons, the warmth of the full moon which radiates on their body when they change to their wolf form.
Damon smiled, but that wasn't the only reason he loves full moons, full moons meant seeing Anna, the woman who had been forcefully taken away from him right from the moment he laid his eyes on her.
As if knowing he was thinking about her, he felt a slender hands on his shoulders, slowly, he turned to stare at the woman who had captured his heart, her scent alone was able to relax his inner battles.
"You aren't asleep yet?"
Anna asked, staring at Damon, the brother to her mate.
"A wounded lion can never be found asleep."
Damon whispered, touching her face tenderly, he heard a gasp emit from her lips, he smiled, she was so damn beautiful.
"What Is the issue? you can share your thoughts with me."
Anna said, her eyes glistened with unwavering affection for the man who had first captured her heart right from the start.
"I want you......"
Damon phrased, he stared at her longingly, slowly tracing her lips with his fingers.....slowly and affectionately
"....but.... I can't have you. You aren't mine, the goddess have always been cruel with me, first taking my birth right, then taking one thing I always desired which is you."
Damon said, watching as she quivered under his touch, he affected her in so many ways but that was where it all end. His touch on her body was to have a little glimmer of hope.
"Your birth right wasn't taken by the goddess, it was taken away from you forcefully by the culture, our tradition took you away from your right and me."
Anna said, smiling bitterly as a tear fell off from her tender face.
"Don't cry my love. I promise to fight and take you away with me to a far away land, there you will get pregnant for me and bear my pups."
Damon said, quickly holding her two cheeks, he smashed his lips on hers.
The full moon covered their entwined body as they savored each others tongue. Damon wasn't ready to quit tasting every inch of her mouth, she always tasted like vanilla, the flavor that always draws him closer to her.
Slowly they detached from each others hold, Anna bent low as she stared down at him.
"But that can't happen, you are only lucky to be alive, your brother only keeps you alive because he promised your parents to do so."
Anna said, quickly hugging him as she cried sorrowfully.
"Shhhh, you don't need to cry, I hate hearing you cry."
Damon said, each choke that wobbles out from her lips caused his heart to squeeze with anger.
"But I can't be with you."
Anna said, staring at him.
"Perhaps that is our fate, but I promise to be with you always. That is a promise."
Damon said, slowly detaching her from his body.
"You brought more twins to the pack?"
Damon asked.
His brother Damien, who was the alpha of the pack immediately after their parents had died always came to the barren land which belongs to his pack whenever there was twins to deliver.
He was in charge of taking care of this twins which have been brought to the barren land.
That was the price he had to pay to survive until he leaves the barren land.
"Yes, your brother brought more twins, since you have been kept alive, there wasn't a need to kill the last twins in the pack. The pack will term it to be partial. I wish this whole tradition will stop."
Anna whispered, but something kept raking in her mind, something terrible which she was about to do.
"I see, my brother is treating you well?"
Damon said, staring at her.
Anna stared at him for a while, slowly closing her eyes, all she could see was light blue eyes which stared back at her in pain.
How could she forget that day, the first day she had been sent to the banished land to cater for the little twins who have been forcefully taken. Then Damon parents ruled the pack of the Gemini, at first when she saw Damon, she had taught him to be the arrogant son of the alpha who had been wooing her before they found out they were true mates.
Later on she realized he was the second twin whose story have been constantly discussed within the pack.
Damon had captured her heart totally at first sight and It was the same for him too, his bare chest which had shun under the sparkling sun had captivated her teenage self and at that moment she decided he was the one for him, but fate had her ways of playing games. They could not be together, her parents been one of the great elders of the werewolf clan cannot allow her be mated to an abominable child.
But that never stopped them from seeing each other, every little chance she had, she would use it to visit the barren land which was almost seven hundred miles when she uses a horse.
"Anna....you seem lost, is my brother treating you well, if he is not treating you well, I won't waste a single moment to rip him apart, I don't care about the consequences."
Damon said, glaring down at the threshold that lead to where his twin brother might have been laying.
"I got carried away by the past. Damien is still Damien."
Anna whispered, there wasn't much to say about the other twin, Damien was an arrogant bastard whom she had been forced to marry.
"That is not an answer, my brother is an arrogant man who doesn't know how to treat anyone with respect. I can sue him to death if he ever tried harming you......"
"Shuuuuu, you need to keep your voice low, your voice might be heard and if that happens, we both will be in a big trouble. Damien will have a reason for detaching your body."
Anna said, touching his beards slowly, watching as his breathing calmed down a little. There was something peculiar about this two brothers, they are hot blooded fellow.
"I am sorry for throwing such an outburst."
Damon said, circling her within his arms as he placed his forehead on hers.
He breathed in her scent slowly and deeply, his one wish was to have her but he could not have her.
"It's fine, you care so much for me that is why you threw such an outburst."
Anna said, hugging him back.
"When do you leave with the others."
Damon asked, they never stayed less than two days when ever they visited the barren lands, watching her leave the barren land was the hardest thing he had learned to endure.
"We leave by first light tomorrow morning."
Anna said, she felt his breath stopped for a while and she felt her heart broke into pieces.
"There is a problem."
Damon said, still hugging her.
"There Is always a problem."
Anna said, laughing lowly.
Damon chuckled at her words.
"Well it is true. We always have problems and I wish for that to stop."
Damon said, smiling quite sadly.
"I won't see you anymore."
Damon said, Anna slowly detached her self from his hug.
"What do you mean I won't see you anymore. Are you planning on running away, while I remain with your brother."
Anna said, watching as Damon shook his head frantically.
"No I am not running away. My brother must have suspected our closeness. In the meeting he mentioned something about him coming alone to the barren land from now on and if I ever said a word in the discussion, he will question me and perhaps find the truth about us, then he will hurt you at the end of it, which I don't want it to happen."
Damon said, Anna nodded her head in understanding.
Damien was a bitch, Anna thought.
Anna breathed in slowly, there wasn't any other option left, she will have to do the last thing in her mind.
"Come let's have some drink in your chambers, who knows when I will meet you again, maybe In two years or ten years or so."
Kira said, leading him to his room in the dark night when no eyes was watching.
Damon followed after her, he needed a drink to clear his mind off.
When they reached his room, she dragged him to sit on the wooden bed.
"I came to your room with wine but I couldn't find you so I decided to check on you."
Anna said, handling him a glass as she filled it with wine, she took a glass for her self, filling it with wine.
"You came prepared already, hmmm I love the taste of this wine."
Damon whispered, gulping the wine at once, the wine was insanely sweet and makes one forget themselves for long.
"Yes it is, take more, sometimes you got to free your mind by drinking."
Anna said, she only but tasted a single drop of the wine.
"Yes I will, you aren't drinking?"
Damon asked, watching as her cup still have a huge amount of wine left in it.
"Of course I take wine but a little, I am a terrible drinker."
Anna said, adding more wine to his cup, watching as he drowned it shakily.
"I feel drunk already but I need more wine."
Damon said, stretching his hands towards the cup.
Anna smiled down at him, filling his cup with more wine, she quickly walked to close the door, her plans had been activated, this was the last moment she might spend with him, so she had no other option than to make him drunk, she will bear her actions alone. He was drunk and it was time to make him hers, she was not going to regret this when she wakes up the next morning, Never!
The whole pack gathered around, only consisting of men and women within the range of eighteen since it was considered to be a great welcome, but Alora, the daughter of the alpha of the Gemini pack, was seen, standing with the entire pack which consist only of the people within the age of eighteen but Alora was not eighteen yet, she was two years and a month old, she was a little child, but she had every right to attend to a meeting which was only meant for the grown ups.
They were awaiting for the arrival of someone who they have been told was unknown, someone who they have been told belonged to the Gemini pack, but was never accepted at birth, because it was an abomination to accept a being like him in the pack.
The carriage made a stop, slowly two guards stepped down from the carriage, slowly opening the carriage door, a young man within the age of the alpha stepped down from the carriage, his light blue eyes, was enough to capture the whole attention of the entire pack.
Then there came a gasp, coming from the pack members, they whispered in hushed tone among themselves, their voices got louder at every minutes they spent staring at the strange but familiar man who stood few feet away from them.
"Who is he?"
"Why is he familiar and look just like the alpha"
"Why is he strange"
"Who is he"
The little Alora stood amidst them, she was been carried by her mother, Luna Anna, her few years old self could not understand what was going on in the pack. Not knowing what was going on among the pack, sucked unto her fingers.
But whatever it was, she could not wait to leave the scene, and instead play with her toys and have a good sleep.
Anna stared at the second twin, Damon, who had been hidden for years, away from the law which had placed him on a death sentence.
But he survived through all odds.
Damon looked around the whole pack, his eyes in search for a light blue eyes, with thick dark hair just like his.
Slowly his eyes met his twin, he stoic form standing amidst the crowd, glaring down at him.
Alpha Damien was not the type who could accept his twin so quickly into the pack, but that was the rule, a rule given by their parents, when his twin brother who had been hidden away from the law, when he have been crowned the alpha of the pack for three years, then he shall be brought back to stay among the people. Among his fellow pack and he shall not be killed.
The noise in the pack was getting louder and quickly, alpha Damien turned towards the Beta of the pack, giving him a light stare, Beta Zach understood what he meant, slowly turning to stare at the members of the pack, his eyes filled with anger.
"Be quiet everyone, the alpha stands with you, yet you cause a chaos among your selves. Please behave!"
Beta Zach said, and quickly, the whole pack became still at his words, no words were whispered, no words was spoken.
When the pack became silent, alpha Damien cleared his throat, he knew the whole pack was confused about the new member of the pack, who have a striking resemblance with him.
"Welcome Damon, my twin, welcome to the Gemini pack, the pack of our late parents."
Alpha Damien said, but his smiles were fake, because he was not happy to accept his twin into the pack.
Another whispers broke through the entire pack.
Everyone knew the law, the rule which had taken lives, that it was a crime for a second twin to live, when two twins were born, the younger would be killed and the older will remain living among them.
But it seems the former alpha and Luna had hidden the second twin away from them, they had not killed him as the rule had said, but not just him, other twins.
"I know everyone of you is confused, why would a younger twin survive, everyone knew the rule, any twin born in the Gemini pack will have its younger one killed in a second, but, I was not in the position to change what had happened, if I was, I wouldn't have kept him Alive."
Alpha Damien said, glaring at his brother, he hated competition and seeing his brother here felt like a competition.
"And he is back today, to live among us, but first, he will live like a commoner, he will till the soil like each and every one of you and he will pave a way for himself. But one thing for sure, he would not take my crown, I still remain your alpha."
Alpha Damien said, glaring at his brother once more, he walked out from the scene.
But not without throwing a glance at Anna, who held their child.
Damon stared at the his brother as he left the scene, slowly he turned to stare at Anna who gave him a light stare before quickly leaving the scene.
Waving his head lightly, he turned toward the carriage, still feeling the heavy stare the pack gave him, some were leaving while some remained standing, whispering in hushed tones.
They knew not to anger the alpha by speaking behind his backs, so quickly, they walked out, leaving the alpha twin standing to tender to his business.
Damon looked around, he had returned only with two bags, which contained his clothes and arrows, his sword was carefully kept behind his torso, making him more dangerous and sexy.
The guards were not there to help him out, because his brother had commanded that he should not be given any help what so ever.
Slowly he turned, walking towards the pack mansion, where his brother and family resides.
He still has some little right, which was, living in the family's house.
As he passed through the corridors, he could hear the whispers which came forth from the pack.
He waved his head, quickly, turning to the other direct, but instead, a figure came, crashing on him so hard, making the bags he held fall on the floor.
Quickly he held the figure from falling, the person who had crashed into him was slender woman, her thick dark hairs cascading on his arms. He had rammed into his twin brother's wife.
Quickly, she left his hold, bending her head low.
He could feel how she trembled under his stare, he looked surprised, marveled at the sight in front of him.
She haven't changed for once, she was still beautiful, slender, yet she looked scared, and for a Luna like her, she had no right to be scared, especially of someone like him. Her first love and a mere wolf who had been detached from his birth right.
"I am sorry Luna Anna."
He said, staring at her, as she still kept her gaze on the floor, hiding her face.
Anna looked down, she knew the alpha was watching her, she could feel his intense gaze on her, he watches her, and if she looks up, the mark on her face would be visible, and that was something she never intend on showing to any one.
"Are you ok Luna Anna?"
Damon asked, walking closer to his brother's mate, his love, but quickly, she backed off from him, taking four paces back.
"I am fine and sorry for not looking."
Anna said bluntly, then quickly, she strode out from his presence.
He watched her as she left his presence.
Damon closed his eyes for a moment, he was playing the games of been cool with her, he knew his brother was watching and he knew not to put her in danger. Slowly waving his head, he picked up his items, slowly walking to the room which have been prepared for him.
Anna stepped into the room, her body shook with fear, she knew she could be in another trouble, for talking with her mate's brother.
"You spoke with my brother, why?"
She heard a hard voice said, it was coming from her back, quickly she turned back, her slender form became stoic with fear.
"I had mistakenly rammed into him, by mistake. I never spoke to him intentionally. You know I wouldn't."
Anna said, hoping she believed him. But Damien was not someone who you could place your hope on, In the bedroom, he was ruthless, a devil, a beater, but In the eyes of the pack, he was the best alpha with a cheerful face.
"Why do you think I would believe you, you both once had a thing, also knowing the fact that you had been forced to marry me, so why would I believe you, why do you think I won't believe the fact that you both were planning on escaping or maybe....."
Damien said, striding towards her like a predator, who was about to capture his prey.
"You both are planning on committing treason, taking away my crown and making him your alpha."
Damien said, Anna gasped at his words, how would the alpha said such foolish words, such insane words.
She have been forced to marry Damien, who had done nothing but abuse her on a daily basis.
"Damien, you know I would never do t...."
Before she could be finish her words, she felt her body, been slammed on the wall, a low scream escaped from her lips.
This was the second time he was hitting her for the day and this was not going to be the last either.
"How dare you lie to my face. How dare you speak back to me."
He said, this time he picked her up, throwing her on the bed, quickly mounting on her.
Anna stepped back, she knew what he was planning on doing.
"You spoke back to me, how dare you, I am your mate, your half, not that bastard."
Alpha Damien said, quickly dragging her legs back, tearing her clothes into shreds.
Anna cried In pain, she hated him, she hated his guts.
"Lay low and spread your legs apart now!"
Damien said, it was few words, which she was meant to obeyed.
Anna knew she had no option, she knew what would happen to her If she disobeys his words.
"Please do not do this."
Anna begged, Damien was trying to have sex with her, when she was not ready to do so, and she knew if she disobeys his words, he would not hesitate to maybe, slash her throat.
"NOW!"
Damien said, glaring at her as he removed the last remnant of his clothes, leaving him standing stark naked In front of her, with his huge length which had instantly became hard, he was a man of no patience and he could not bear the pathetic plead that escaped from her lips.
Slowly, Anna parted her legs, slowly but widely.
But as said, Damien was no man of patience because quickly, he pushed her legs apart, quickly opening her legs wider, to his delight, the sight of her clit sent him wild, making his wolf growl with excitement.
Anna whimpered weakly, Damien was always a beast, a wild terrible beast and she hated his guts, and there was no option for her than to allow him do what so ever he planned on doing on her.
Quickly, she felt him thrust his huge length into her, a heavy cry elicited from her lips, she groaned, feeling the heavy thrust he was giving her.
Damien was not the type of man to do romance, so his pace on her was fast and rough.
Quickly dragging her head, trying to elicit more pain from her, this sure made Anna to scream with more pain and he got delighted at it.
And with a heavy grunt, he cum in her, filling her with his release, he hated her guts, so damn well, and he do have to inform her to whom she belonged to.
He hated the fact that his twin was here and his guts kept informing him that his mate would or might run into the hands of his twin, he gritted his teeth, quickly throwing her off the head board as he walked out from the room to the bath.
He loved her, but there was a feeling that kept cladding in his mind that his mate would leave him for his brother, so the best option was to make her know whom she belonged to.
Maybe, he could lower Damon and make him look like a threat in the eyes of the entire pack, sure that would make him leave the pack and then he would not have anything to worry of.
Slowly Anna stepped out from the bed, her thighs still hurt over what the alpha had done to her.
Slowly wearing another clothes since the former one had been thorn into shreds.
Quickly, she walked out from the room, she needed to be far away from him, normally, Damien would hit her until maybe she passed out, but today, he had not just hit her, instead, he had taken her forcefully.
She was so lost in thoughts that she did not see a figure coming from the other direction, she groaned in pains, hissing again, thinking she had made a contact with a wall.
