The Situation
Damon's POV
It didn't even take its eyes off me, and now it was looking at me as if it wanted to hurt me. It hit me with a look that was the reason for me to bow down.
I want to approach her. And I know my wolf wants to do that, too.
"Damon, come here." The king's shout was the reason for me to turn here.
"I said, "Come here!" The king's voice was loud, and it seemed that I became a stump again and obeyed my father's orders.
I approached without emotion until I was in front of my father.
But I was surprised when he brought me even closer to the already weak man and signalled for the staff to release him.
The man was about to rush to the king when suddenly the king placed his sharp claw on the woman's neck.
It stopped, so the king smiled sweetly.
"Stay." It was a gentle gesture that the man obeyed because the king's nail dug a little into his wife's skin.
"Like that, learn to listen. You know, I thought that you need to learn the right way to discipline, so here's my son." My father pushed me closer to the man as if he was just throwing out the trash.
"Kill him for me." I heard D gasp. Even I couldn't believe it. My father wants D's father to kill me. It's like whoever moves us first will die.
Shit!
But how can I do it? He's the father of my mate. And this king recognized me. How can I fail him?
I also feel that D's father doesn't want to kill me.
"W-what?" The couple said in disbelief that it was the king who laughed. It's like it's losing its mind that even if nothing is funny, it will just laugh out loud.
"I said kill him, and in return, I'll spare your life."
I was dumbfounded by what I heard. Is my life worthless for my father? The man looked at me as if I were the most important person to him right now, but that was only for a moment because he quickly averted his gaze, and his eyes landed on D.
As if he was thinking deeply, he smiled.
I don't know, but when I saw his eyes, I knew what he wanted.
I know the man is good. And it will not allow bad things.
I was surprised when D's father knelt in front of me and stared intently at my wolf, who now controlled my body.
It grabbed my right hand with sharp claws that still hadn't returned to their normal form.
"If you become a king, please protect her. Please find her and make her your queen, " the man said emphatically. I didn't show any reaction, even though inside, I wanted to get lost.
It's hard to be in this situation. I know I can hurt an innocent person again.
AndI was surprised when it messed my hair; it was as if I were a normal person and I was close to it.
'Come close to my wife; let her heal you, my king. For now, this is not the right time for you and my son. You have to forget each other. And if it is time, fate will bring you closer to each other. And when that happens, please keep her. Make her happy and make her your queen.'
"I'm thankful I met you before I disappeared." My eyes widened because, at the same time as he uttered those words, he placed my sharp nails on the opposite side of his chest and without a word, he let them sink into his chest.
'Don't blame yourself for this, my king. This is my sacrifice for my daughter.'
I was shocked by what he did, and I tried to pull his hand away, but he held my hand tightly.
I don't know, but suddenly everything became quiet.
I knew the woman was screaming, but I could hardly hear anything.
I don't even know what to do.
He died in my hands.
My mate's father died because of me.
I swallowed, and tears fell from my eyes.
I can feel the hatred of my mate. And it is killing me. Even my wolf is losing my mind because it can't accept what it did.
But I gasped when someone hugged me from behind and held my head.
"H-heal." It whispered, and my whole body seemed numb.
It seems like I lost the most important thing to me.
I forgot something, or maybe someone...
When I turned to the person holding me, I saw the woman crying, but how did I get here?
The woman smiled and then kissed my forehead.
"You will remember her in the future; if you do, please make her yours. I trust you. I know you will." This promise trembles.
I don't understand what it says.
"You're a healer?" I turned around when I heard my father's voice.
And he is looking at this woman in front of me.
But the woman just shook her head.
"I won't let you take advantage of me, " he said, and then the colour of his eyes changed.
Her dark hair becomes silver, and without warning, she takes my hand, which is still stained with blood.
Everything happened quickly, and I saw him cut his palm and put it in my mouth.
"Drink my king." It seemed like I had no control when I tasted his blood because I drank it on my own.
I felt so strong after that. It was as if it had passed something.
"Only the willing healer can give power." This whisper made my forehead frown.
'Your father is forcing healers to have power by drinking blood from different healers, but he doesn't know that he can only get the power if he gives it willingly. Now you have my power, my king. Use that, and please kill me. I can't let your father use me, or I can't live without my mate.' This is a sad promise from my mind.
I didn't even understand what he was saying, but my hands moved spontaneously with long nails, and I buried them on the opposite side of his chest where his heart was beating.
"No! Why did you kill her!"
My father shouted, but I just looked at it with cold eyes.
"She's not a healer! She's a normal human using the scent of a wolf." I said it hard that my father frowned for a moment, but when he understood, he frowned.
"Useless! So their child is not worth it! Let's go home! What a waste."
What a fool. I whispered in my mind.
But why?
Why do I seem to be misunderstood in the situation?
What really happened?
