DABRIA'S POV:-
This place was supposed to be the place where I had the best time of my life. Whenever I used to hear Eve's painful cries, I always ran towards this place. And hid inside my room. I was glad that dad made this tree house for me. But because everything that happened between Zeus and I, I just stopped coming to the treehouse. It was painful for me to remember the time we had spent in this place. I never understood why Zeus changed that much within a few years. I was his princess. I was actually the only woman he had ever laid his eyes on. And yet, he became so barbaric when our time came. He became so barbaric that he crushed all my dreams under his heels.
There was not a single day I had not thought about him. I tried not to remember anything about Zeus. Because I just couldn't bear that pain anymore. Every time anyone mentioned his name or I remembered him, I felt like someone rubbing a gratter on my heart. To make sure I would feel the most unbearable pain of the whole world. I was sitting on the ground, crying my heart out while looking at that place. It was not as warm as it used to be. In fact, it was as cold as ice. It was cold as ice since the day Zeus called me a whore. I never imagined if Zeus could ever say that to me.
He hardly ever even called me by my name. I have been his princess since the day I had a heartbeat inside my mother's womb. Mom and dad told me that since that day he had been calling me his princess. And no one else was allowed to call me princess. Once dad told me that he called me princess and Zeus literally lunged himself at dad to tear him apart because he called me his princess. That same Zeus who never even talked to me in a loud tone. That same Zeus who couldn't see tears in my eyes. That same Zeus became the man who stabbed my heart with a silver dagger. No, it was more painful than being stabbed right into the heart with a silver dagger.
It was the same Zeus who ripped my heart out and told me to live. After that, dad tried so many times for me to get to know other men. To find myself someone special. I felt bad to see him so helpless around me. But he just couldn't understand. You can't love anyone without your heart. And Zeus ripped it out a long time ago. Now, there was a hollow in my chest. And the love of the whole universe could not fix that hollow I had in my chest. Zar walked towards me and licked my tears. I just wrapped my arms around him and cried. At least I found a friend who never left me alone.
Someone who couldn't see me cry anymore. Someone who couldn't see me in pain. It was Zar. The day I saved him, he never left my side. The scent of his fur was enough for me to feel safe and warm. I was unconscious all that long. But I felt him by my side all that long. I kissed his face and pulled away. "I just don't know what happened to everything. The life I used to have, I know it was not perfect. But at least it was peaceful. I had dreamt about so many things about my future. My life, my dreams, my love and even my wedding. Within four years, my whole world turned upside down and I had no idea what I did." I whispered while staring into his eyes.
It literally felt like he could hear me and understand every single word I was saying. Like he could feel my pain. Like he knew what I had been going through. It made me a little relieved that there was still someone in this world who didn't judge me. He loved me as I was. "Let's go back home. We don't have anything left to do with this place. I am tired." I whispered as I walked back outside and climbed down the stairs. Zar just jumped off of the tree house. I climbed on his back as I felt so tired again. He carried me back to the palace. As always, he didn't even let anyone look at me.
He took me straight towards my bedroom. I closed my eyes as he laid me down on the bed. He laid down on the bed beside me. I felt him covering our bodies with the comforter. I hugged him tightly and buried my face in the crock of his neck. It was a full moon night. And I could hear wolves howling around as dad had finally opened our doors for all the other creatures. I saw the silver light of the big moon shining on Zar's pure golden fur. That's the last thing I saw before I drifted off to sleep. I just wanted to forget about the world and jump into this new dream world I have. It was peaceful and warm.
I felt something tingling all over my body. As if a naked electrical wire was touching my body and I could feel the electricity running through my body. Frowning at that tingling sensation, I moaned and tried to move my hands and feet to shrug it off. I just didn't want to open my eyes. I was having an amazing dream and I didn't want to lose it. But despite everything I did, nothing worked at all. Instead, I started breathing heavily and my heart started beating erratically inside my rib cage. Annoyed with everything I was feeling, which was by the way very unusual. I finally opened my eyes to see what was going on. And why I couldn't feel Zar's fur around me. As soon as I opened my eyes, my eyes widened in horror and screamed on the top of my lungs.
DABRIA'S POV:- I opened my eyes and gasped loudly. There was a tall and muscular man lying beside me on the bed. He was lying naked beside me. Zar was nowhere to be found. I opened my mouth to scream as loudly as I could. But before I could wake up the whole palace, my screams were muffled behind a strong palm. He covered my mouth with his hand firmly. As I knew he was naked, my eyes were closed before I even opened my mouth to scream. "Shhh… don't you dare scream." As his voice made its way to my ears, I instantly opened my eyes. My eyes widened in horror as I saw his face again. I thought I would never see his face again in my life. "I am going to pull my hand away. If you scream, I swear I will tell you how angry I can get. You will not scream. Got it?" He asked me in his same low and deep voice. I gulped hard and nodded my head. He pulled
DABRIA'S POV:-My heart skipped a beat or two when my brain started processing his words. I just didn't want to accept his words. If it was really him all this long around me, I was literally doomed. I had bathed with Zar. I had changed in front of him. Worst of all, I was walking buck ass nude in front of him most of the time when we were alone in the room. A mischievous grin appeared on his face as he pushed me back in the metrus and hovered over me. My breath hitched as he pinned me with the metrus. He interviewed his fingers with mine as he leaned over towards my neck. I closed my eyes and whimpered softly as I felt his warm breaths touching my skin.I shivered when the tip of his nose touched the sensitive skin of my neck. He actually knew every single sensitive point of my body. And he knew how to use those spots against me. "I meant that it was me all this long. I was the one bat
DABRIA'S POV:-A droplet of tear escaped his eye and landed on the ground. Were my words literally hurting him that much? Did he really think I could ever forgive him after everything he had done to me? I can remember that time as clearly as looking at my own reflection in the mirror. I shivered and jumped off of the bed. "I am sorry. I can't do this. I am not that brave. I want you to grab one of my gowns and leave. Now that I know that it was you all along, I can't bear to see you around me for another second." I said in a firm tone while looking at him. My eyes started to water up. The tears were stinging my eyes to break free. But I kept them at bay.I didn't want him to see my tears anymore. He couldn't have that pleasure ever again. I had tears in my eyes not because I saw he was in pain. It was because I had been through enough pain because of him. And I couldn't have it again. I
DABRIA'S POV:- A wide smile appeared on her face as she saw me. I stood up and walked towards her slowly. She also stood up but stayed rooted at the spot she was sitting on. I had tears in my eyes as I finally saw her smiling face for the very first time in my entire life. "Eve!!!" I whisper that escaped my lips like a prayer. Or maybe I was just too happy seeing her beautiful smile. "It is you! Oh my God! I can not believe my eyes. I almost gave up on those dreams I used to have. That one day, I will see you smiling wholeheartedly. That one day, you will be at peace." I added while staring at her from head to toe. My voice was barely audible as I was still crying. I had no idea why I was crying in the first place. But I knew those tears were not hurting my chest anymore. She gently brushed my hair while smiling at me. "Yes! It
DABRIA'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed, groaning in annoyance. I knew it was not just a dream that I had. And as promised, I had to go and find him. I truly didn't want to. But I always kept my promises. I crawled out of the bed and walked towards the closet. I wore a tank top and jeans shorts. I quickly grabbed my boots and my coat, then jumped out of the window. I landed on the ground effortlessly despite the height. My bedroom was on the second floor of the palace. Those were the real perks of being a supernatural creature. I sniffed the air and caught his scent. I started following the trail of his scent.I was not surprised at all when his scent took me straight towards our treehouse. It was not just a treehouse. For Zeus and Zaric, it was their den. Taking a deep breath, I started climbing up the stairs. I went towards the roof as I could smell Z
ZEUS' POV:-TEN YEARS AGO:-As soon as my car came to a halt, Dabria hopped out of the car and ran towards the mansion. Chuckling at her, I walked after her. She just turned fourteen. And I couldn't wait to spend all my time with her. She was as excited as I was to be around her all the time. Zaric and I both started to feel it inside. I was not eighteen yet. But because of Zaric who was an ancient wolf, I was able to know that Dabria was our mate. And ever since Zaric learned that, the scales of his happiness and excitement were over the moon. It looked like he was more excited than I was for Dabria to turn eighteen soon. So she could also feel the mate bond between us.My heart fluttered as soon as I stepped into the mansion. She was jumping in happiness, giggling happily. She was
DABRIA'S POV:-It was the very first time when he growled at me. My heart felt like it would stop at any moment. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. I buried my face in the crock of his neck. Clutching onto the shirt he was wearing, I hid myself in his arms. I couldn't help myself. His arms were the most comforting place for me in the entire world. He pecked my forehead as he laid down on the bed. I was lying on top of him. He lightly started rubbing my back. I didn't know what I did that angered him so much. But I never wanted him to be mad at me. He was the only man I had ever wanted in my life.I pulled my head out to look at him. He was staring at me. A wide grin appeared on his face as he saw my face. I was not sure why that satisfied grin was on his face. Because I couldn't stop my tears at all. He wiped my tears with the pad
DABRIA'S POV:-It was the very next day. Zeus woke me up at 6 O'Clock in the morning. It was the day he was about to start my training. I had no idea why my father wanted me to learn self defence. And he asked Zeus to teach me as he knew well I wouldn't say anything to him. And he knew ways to make me do whatever he wanted. I was angry at my father for asking Zeus to train me. But I was already there. And I didn't want to go back. As I could sleep peacefully at their mansion. It was not about the mansion or the palace. It was not even about the soft and comfy bed. The palace had the soul of Eve screaming into my ears every single day and even at night.If only I could make them understand why that palace was not a place I could call home. It had been like this since the beginning. After running for more than thirty minutes, I walked slowly towards the b
