The Beast's Virgin Claim

It worked as expected and he felt that for I had clutched onto his chest whilst I shook my head terrified of being left alone by him like when I was a juvenile and wailed like a forsaken pup as those words wound me more than anything else. It felt as though he was breaking our bond not just the mate bond but also the beautiful past we held. The past I wholeheartedly treasured.

Yes, it was not like I was blameless throughout our separation. But no matter what he was my home, he would always be my Phobos and I could never entirely desert him. But my male had always been cruel it ran thickly in his blood, in his veins.

Deimos calmly watched me as I sobbed to my male's callous terms, my post-pregnancy hormones were not assisting me either. I felt unembarrassed and every bit of pride I owned was thrown into a pit as I bared myself to him. Showed him that no matter what he was always in my heart, mind and soul and that it would never change. But that foolish male of mine could not see it.

My high-pitched whines of heartbreak made him visibly stiffen under me and his jaw tensed whilst he gritted his teeth. My mate's limbs trembled vigorously as he strived to keep himself in check to maintain that control that he was a master of.

Those vicious seven words were my punishment for running away from him, for birthing his male in secrecy and for deliberately staying in another pack while he was falling apart with each passing day. I deserved it in a way but that did not mean he could damage me like that.

Deimos cleared his throat his back hunched as he shook his head in disapproval at my moon blessed. "That is not a good way to discipline our females, you know what words do brother and of the power they carry."

He disregarded his brother's advice and kept peeking down at me with his unsettled ocean blues that were engulfed by the roaring storm of his heart. When my bleeding wails grew louder as his words echoed over and over in my mind he finally succumbed to his inner conflict unable to hold on to the last thread of restraint he held. "That is enough, Theia.

Calm down." He took my wrists in a delicate grasp and tugged my palms away from my red puffy eyes as I stared up at him with a shattered look. He could see what he had done to me with those insensitive words of his.

"How could you say that to me, you heartless male?" I shrieked as I dug my nails into the flesh of his chest drawing blood. I could not discern his expression with clarity for my vision was bleary due to my tears but I sensed his upsetness to my question.

Unable to endure the uninhibited display of my sorrow anymore he looped his right limb around my curvy waist whilst his left delicately cradled the back of my exhausted head and forced me to his heaving chest. I held onto him tighter as though he would depart my side any moment whilst he slowly rocked me endeavouring to pacify my cries as he always had done when we were together.

"I said that is enough. Hush now." He whispered faintly with a more temperate tone his lips were a feathery touch against my forehead.

"You cannot help but yield yes? That is the tremendous power our females have over us. We both seem to be alike when it comes to our mates." Deimos chuckled gruffly as he reclined his seat to make sure that Lumina was much more comfortable sleeping upon his lap.

Phobos's silky touches from his fingertips that glid up and down my arm and his continuous swaying caused me to surrender to heavy fatigue and emotional stress. Just a matter of minutes since our reunion and it had been hard for me to endure, I wished to sleep and wake up in his arms once more so we could talk and work out our problems together.

I did not want to lose him and I knew there was a high possibility for that as that was where we were heading and I already felt and saw the barricade standing tall and mighty to shield his heart and soul from me. I knew it would be challenging to make him trust me again.

As my sobs turned into feeble hiccups my weary eyes fluttered close and I began to doze off despite wanting to remain awake and take part in their amiable conversation.

"She is mine." My male grunted out and I stirred against him nuzzling into his throat whilst I inhaled his comforting scent and allowed it to saturate my deprived lungs.

"No doubt, I can see that. But I believe you should have a long talk with her. I get that you are enraged but sometimes communication works. And I voice my truth from experience. Lumina was the same she dumped me like trash for a whole year to punish me for my wrongdoings and took Kal with her too. I needed to learn and so did she in her own way, this relationship goes two ways brother.

There must be a reason why Theia ran and hid from you. Speak with her."

Phobos sighed glumly as his hold on me tautened whilst his palm gently patted my back urging me further into darkness and the last I heard before I slipped into a deep undisturbed slumber was him replying with a pang of sorrow, "I am lost Deimos. I am bleeding." My ears listened to his truth yet failed to register them in my mind for me to remember.
