"Life is sad to die so might as well laugh to die"

Damian

I'm in my office leaning against the bay window, a glass of whiskey in my hand. I look at the forest thinking of Rose. She annoys me enormously to do as she pleases. Why doesn't she just obey me?

I think I made the right choice by locking her in the bedroom, if she still doesn't obey me it will be the cellar. I should have tortured her but her frightened look stopped me. Something about her intrigues me. When I smelled her as I got out of the car, I knew she was my soulmate. A delicious smell. And I had to come across the most stubborn girl there is.

I walk over to my old record player and turn on some music. I take a sip and lean back against my desk. Suddenly, I feel Rose's heartbeat slowing down. PINK ! I put my drink on my desk and run to his room. I take out the key and open it. She is on the ground, unconscious.

I take her in my arms and lay her on the bed. I said it ; this girl is not able to sit still. I brush her hair out of her face and watch her.

- Should I call the doctor? Brad asks me in thought.

- No, she has nothing.

- All right.

She passed out and it was on purpose. If she thinks she's going to fool me this way, she sticks her fingers in her nose. She really pisses me off. I sit next to her. I run my hand over her cheeks and up to her forehead which is slightly swollen. I was this close to hitting her yesterday. I have to learn to control myself in his presence. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous for her. I go downstairs to get a packet of ice cubes in the kitchen and place it on his forehead.

I must admit that she is very beautiful. Long black eyelashes, a luscious mouth, a small nose and gorgeous green eyes. But his character ruins everything.

When her eyelashes start to move, a sign that she's waking up, I pull my hand back and look at her sternly.

- What happened ? She asks me as she sits down.

- That's me asking you.

- I...I had a fit of claustrophobia. she lies.

I raise an eyebrow. She can't lie.

- Too bad for you then. I say standing up.

I leave the room, locking it. I hear him sigh. And yes Rose, this whole circus is not working with me. I go down to the living room and sit on the chair. Bras and Justin are seated across from me.

- What are you going to do now? Brad wonders.

- I want to make him pay the price for this fake crisis but on the one hand, I don't want to.

They are the only ones I confide in. Bras and Justin aren't just my betas, they're my brothers. We grew up together from a young age and we were always there for each other.

- You should leave her alone Damien. Offer me Justin. She just arrived it's normal that she reacts like that. She needs time to get used to it.

- And let her think she can do whatever she wants? No. She must understand that it is I who decide here.

I pour myself a glass of alcohol that I swallow bottoms up. Justin is wrong. If I show her what's in store for her when she does it her way, she'll be scared and won't do it anymore. I'm not trying to make myself. I get up and go up the stairs two by two. I open the door and look at her. She is sitting on the bed, her cheeks wet. I stand in front of her and cross my arms.

- I don't think we understood each other very well, you and I. I started. I'm not asking you to obey my rules, I'm ordering you to.

- I am not in your possession. She cuts me off. I have rights.

- Rights ? I repeated. You are my soul mate and you have to listen to me. Forget your rights, your family, your friends, your life before. And at this rate, your life too. So stop doing whatever you want. I wouldn't hesitate to tear you down.

Tears fill her eyes. Well, I take it she got it. I leave the room. I order Justin to keep an eye on her. I give him a week to get used to this situation. I'm not going to see him during this week except in the evening, to sleep. I need his presence to be even stronger. We have to create this link and this is not how we are going to do it.

I go out and transform, I run all over the forest as if my life depended on it. The sun is starting to set, the wind is getting stronger and stronger. I feel like this is all a dream, that Rose is not my soul mate. That none of this really happened.

Why do I have such a soul mate? How about a person who just nods his head every time? Guess that's Mother Nature's way of getting revenge for all my crimes. If Rose doesn't obey me after this week, I'll lock her up in the cabin in the forest. I'll go see her when I miss her. I really hope she will obey me.

Well all this cinema made me hungry. I find a doe with her young behind a bush. I put myself in attack position and wait for the right moment. A few seconds later, I jump up and attack him. After I finish my dinner, I walk home. I don't regret killing that doe and her young. No. If I had killed only her, her young would be left without their mother. Now there is no problem. I know I'm cruel, life has decided so. I lived and learned a lot from my sufferings but especially from my mistakes, that's why I am so strong. Never trust others.
