DARK DESIRES.

'Hung on air?' he frowned.

"Yes," I nodded. "Everyone was there, she looked like a ghost and…"

His eyes widened at my explanation, he didn't wait for me to finish but he seemed to know what I was talking about.

"I felt it in my instinct that something was wrong with Oceana, so when I rushed to her room, ignoring everyone, I rushed to call you as soon as I got there I was beyond shocked." I continued explaining. "She was…almost naked, floating on air and everything in her body was white, she looked so pale." After explaining, I noticed the intensity in his eyes, he brushed past me hastily and ran so fast, I went after him and we soon got to the room.

Oceana's mother kept sobbing, Gérard strolled past us and went to Oceana.

"Gérard, please step back, I tried getting close to her, but her power is too strong blocking me from forming any physical contact with her. Wait for your father to come back, so he can rescue her."

Gérard ignored everyone, stretched out his hands and got much closer to Oceana, my heart was on my chest and I hoped nothing happened to him too.

To our surprise, her body came to him by itself as he carried her in his arms, she glowed so brightly and went back to normal. Gérard stood still for a moment, then moved to her bed and laid her down on the bed, then covered her body with a blanket.

Luna and I ran towards Oceana who was sleeping and murmuring Gérard's name. Gérard went to her and closed her mouth muttering a few words.

Everyone burst in to know how Oceana was, their gazes were fixed on Gerard who slowly took his hands away from Oceana's lips and walked out of the room leaving everyone confused.

I ran after him. "Why are you leaving?' I asked, wasn't he supposed to wait till she woke up?

He turned to me and his form went back to normal, he smiled. "Don't tell Oceana what happened here, I wouldn't be able to handle it." He said and came close to me. "Promise me, you wouldn't tell her anything about this night."

"But…your mother will tell her."

"Leave that to me, I know what to do, don't interfere. I know she is your best friend and you don't keep things away from her but this time, please do so and leave the rest to me."

"Why are you planning to hide this away from her.' Carmine came out of nowhere and stood in front of Gérard. "I hope you are aware about what happened back there, you know the consequences.'

"Shut up, Carmine and let me do this in my way."

"Really." He ruffled through his hair in frustration which suddenly turned white in an instant. "The full moon is coming soon, tell me huh, how are you going to handle that, if you were not here do you think she will ever come down, don't you know that this could have her killed, don't act stubborn and solve this mess, she is beginning to transform because of the bond." He walked out and Gérard sighed, walking back to his chambers.

As Gerard walked back, not once did he ever turn his back to glance at us.

"Piece of shit, damn, this is so frustrating.' Carmine murmured and also turned his back on me, strolling away from his spot as if nothing had happened, was I the only in the dark, why was no one talking about what happened.

Why was everyone not coming straightforward to tell the truth about Oceana, I know she is his mate but shouldn't he be trying and planning on how to bond her, I guess this was why Oceana was pissed with him all these time, because he went against their bond and got married to an outsider, leaving Oceana all alone, I know how she feels but wasn't there any other way to fix this, instead of talking about this and prolonging this issue.

And he wants me to keep it a secret from her, he's doing all these to protect himself from the pressure of being her mate and I sort of felt sorry for him and Oceana.

How was I going to deal with this? I sighed and looked down at my feet, saw drops of blood on the floor, I sniffed it and traced the steps, it was Gerard's blood.

What in the world was going on?

Oceana's Pov.

I woke up early in the morning, ready for some tough training after a long time of being a lazy ass around. I needed to forget about my problems for a while, I didn't want to think of Gérard or anybody else, just me and my coach.

It was time to fix myself and not play, cry around, thinking of Gérard and the more I think about him, the more garbage I felt at his actions. Why doesn't he just want to understand that I'm in love with him and that together we could get through this and no one else will stop us? How can I just forget about my Alpha like breeze that never existed.

I felt a sword dicing at me, I dodged quickly but it slightly cut off some strands of my hair and at that moment my body vibrated non stop as I staggered and fell to the ground.

"You are losing focus, Mrs Oceana, why don't you take a rest for today." He suggested and stretched out his hand to pull me off the ground but I declined.

What was going on with me, ever since I woke up this morning, my body has been behaving so strangely and I can't even remember what happened last night. Whenever I try to think back on how I slept off and what occurred last night, my head begins to hurt so bad seeing flashbacks of unusual memories.

"Let's train again,' I managed to speak and get up from the floor but I don't know why I was getting weary and fell back to the ground, my hands were shivering and getting white for no damn reason.

"Mrs Oceana, you are getting pale and I suggest you take a break."

"Andrew, I am stronger than this, I don't need your sympathy." I snapped and then I realized what I had done and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out about everything." I got up on my shaken legs and saw the strands of my hair on the sand. I was tired and he was right, I deeply needed to sleep.

I moved and noticed Jessie walking toward me with a solemn expression.

I looked at Andrew, motioned him to give us space and turned to Jessie as she folded her hands across her chest.

"Don't do this to yourself, Oceana." She stated with finality.

"I am in love with him, he's mine, my mate." I knew what she was talking about.

"Everyone is beginning to talk.' she pointed out.

"Let them talk and leave me the fuck alone.' I shouted at her and my wolf was nearly out of me.

She was surprised and shook her head getting closer to me. "Your love isn't going to solve anything, stop this madness.'

"Don't talk to me, he's my mate…"

"I know but think about the consequences and stop putting Gerard at a tight spot.'

"Mind your damn business, this is my life and I get to do whatever the fuck I want.'

Why was I getting so angry at everything?

She blurted out the words, I never expected from her. "What if the moon goddess made a mistake?"

I flared up. "Are you insane? Are you serious right now?'

A surprised look as she sighed and held both my shoulders. "I know I am still young and there are many things I still have to learn but he is your brother, why do you fail to understand that?"

I didn't say a word, I just had a little headache, pushed her away from me and left. I was tired of talking, this was exhausting and I'm sick of hearing those words over and over again, I needed to get my head straight.

I was aware of what everyone's rumors were about, but I didn't care because the more I thought about it, the more depressed I was and heartbroken I was.

One cold evening, a lot of people were partying and moving from one place to another, some were making out and throwing themselves all about, while some barely covered themselves in the realms. It was quite a busy day ahead and I was ready to look for one thing or the other to make fun with. I'm the princess of realms, I wasn't supposed to be here.

"Oh, baby come lick my cunt." One of them yelled from a dark corner, I kept asking myself while I came out at this time of the night and I'm glad I disguised myself, I don't want the people saying Alpha Oceana, the princess of realms is a whore. For it was quite a taboo for a princess to be in the outskirts of her town, her palace and walking around the whores of houses.

I wasn't supposed to be in here but I was super bored and tired of the whole stuff, I needed some fresh air. I didn't want to see anyone or talk to anybody right now, that was why I sneaked out of the palace.

I walked for a couple of minutes and perceived Gerard's scent, I ran to the direction of the scent and went to the Pleasure House and entered inside the place.

I wanted to see how things were done there, but to my surprise I saw Gérard sitting on a couch surrounded by lots of girls, rubbing his body and trying to convince him to drink from their glass.

I didn't like this. I had hoped I was wrong, and my wolf nose was deceiving me.

I thought he was a married Alpha who loved his wife dearly, what was he doing here with these whores.

I got pissed, went up to him and dragged him up but he pushed my hands away from his and dangerously glared at me. I have never seen such a look on his face before, was he ever this scary to me?

I slightly pulled off, my hoodie and his eyes widened, knowing I was the one.

"Will you follow me now?' I nearly snapped and he sighed, hesitated for a second and stood up from the chair he was sitting on, got close to me, covered my face with the hoodie and grabbed my arm dragging me out of the place as we both got outside.

"What the fuck are you doing here, you are the daughter of the great Alpha of the realms, you are not supposed to be here."

"Stop putting such a title on me as if I'm some God, I hate it.'

"Answer me, what the hell are you doing here, how could you show your face in a place like that?"

"What about you, aren't you married?' I snapped back. "You too are not supposed to be here. What if word got out that a powerful Alpha like you, who everyone adored is surrounded by women in the house of whores."

"You've not answered my questions." He persisted with a mocking smile.

"You haven't answered mine either," I flatly pointed out and we both looked at each other for a while, his blue eyes were adorable, and the fireworks were becoming louder and louder by each minute.

"Do you think I care?" I whispered seductively and got close to him seeing how those people were kissing, holding themselves and the moans were getting to me and making my pussy drip.

I went to Gérard and kissed him so hard, I wanted this and wrapped my hands around him.
