Damon POV
She is my mate? How can that be possible. I am a thousand year old wolf so even if I could have had a mate, she would have been dead thousand years ago. Why am I destined to someone now. I was stunned at my own destiny and looked at the moon angrily. First of all I never wanted to become a wolf and now when my suppressed side of being this beast is back, suddenly there is a mate who was already born for me about two decades ago shows up. This was hilarious. I need to get out of here before she appears back in front of me. I used my vampire speed to get over the tree and run from the spot. I didn't turn back again.
I am pretty sure what destiny does to bind the ties with our destined mates in werewolves. The destiny forces them to meet again and again until the bond gets stronger. I however don't want to meet her again, never again because I am finally going to start a beautiful life with Eva. I got in my car and since Aden was sleepy though he woke up in between I carefully made him sleep in the backseat of the car.
I then went to the coven to take my wife back. The boundary was already broken and will now be mended only after the new Phoenix will form it. However as I was walking in the coven, I noticed wild winds with a bright light appearing from the centre. I was stunned and scared. These wild winds take place when a strong spell is being worked at. I ran to see Eva and there she was. Her arms crossed as she stood fierce in front of the gusty winds with tornado leaves hurting her cheeks. Her hair flying in the opposite direction with the lower portion of the jacket. Her hand was cut and as expected it wasn't healing. She had lost her Phoenix powers.
Out in front of them was a huge bowl of something boiling in it and the burning wood was not exactly burning, they were glittering releasing much more heat and toxic flames than expected. I could sense something not going good. Noman was shaping and everyone could see the foetus developing in a kid which would probably turn into an adult by tomorrow morning after the sun rise. Eva was still staring at the kid transforming and I was eager to take her because her work there is now over. I walked to Eva and held her arm and signaled her to move. She nodded and started walking when a woman said,
"leaving so soon woman?"
"well I think I am done already", Eva answered and turned around but the woman held her hand preventing her to move and said,
"well how can we let you go so soon after all the trouble that you and your beloved husband has given us", the woman said.
She was a fat dark woman with curled hairs and was probably a badass. Eva gave a her a snide smile and shook her arm. Eva looked deep in her eyes angrily and said warning her,
"you better back off now because if you think I am weak, I will be glad to prove you wrong" Eva said.
This was my terrible fear. I know Eva is confident but she is no more immortal and vulnerable. She can feel the pain, can bleed a lot without healing and I was scared of this only. I pulled Eva behind and faced the woman as I told her,
"look the woman you have been just warning is compassionate but unlike her I am merciless so try to touch her and I will slaughter each one of you before your leader even shapes up his hair", I said.
To threaten the woman, I showed her my fangs and my red eyes with my blood boiling to drink her blood now. The woman was actually scared and she took a step back and so did everyone gave us a way but this is surely not the end. However with Aden in the car and my destined mate somewhere out there, I wanted to reach back to my villa quick. However the moment we turned, Eva collapsed. Her leg twisted and she screamed in pain. Her neck elongated and her nerves looked like caterpillars walking in them. I turned around and saw the woman saying the spell,
"veto ras zehar blot..."
"stop", I screamed and approached that woman to kill her but the other witches came forward and with all their power I was blocked by some invisible wall on my path. I can't stop her. I ran back to Eva who was screaming in pain and I screamed again,
"stop or I will rip your heart off", I warned holding Eva in my arms.
"are you just going to keep speaking?", The black woman said and suddenly her throat was struck by an arrow and she died on spot. The spell broke and Eva was released. I looked in the direction from where the arrow approached and there stood a brown woman with long straight hairs with focused eyes and spectacular beauty. She was my mate. Before I can match her eye, I quickly picked up Eva and disappeared from the spot. I sat in the car and drove back to the villa. Eva was going unconscious and only a doctor can treat her.
I asked the robo to call a human doctor home. The doctor came and I compelled him to just cure the toxic substance in Eva's blood and don't freak out at her uniqueness. The doctor did his best and yes Eva was finally feeling well. When the doctor was done, I drank his blood, gave him his fees and compelled him to forget his arrival here. My driver dropped him in the city.
Eva was sleeping when the doctor left and I preferred not disturbing her. She indeed underwent a lot of pain and I was worried about her. My mind was not able to get distracted from my mate who came to the rescue even when it was for Eva. I wanted to tell Eva about her but maybe tomorrow is the right time. I slept beside Eva and my mind kept focussing on the picture of just one woman who was hot as hell when I saw her naked.
