His to Save

Chapter Nineteen - alone

Damien continued to carry me over his shoulder as I wiggled impatiently in his arms, his tight grip on my waist sending fireworks throughout my body,

He moved faster than the eye could see until we were upstairs and inside the room and I was surprised at being gently placed onto the bed.

He walked back as he pushed the door shut gently before he turned and looked at me his eyes completely dark as I gulped, my insides twisting,

He walked up to me quietly as I expected him to jump on me and ravage me, but he did something completely different. Before I could respond, he had knelt down on his knees in front of me,

I gasped confused as he grasped my hands and placed his head in my lap, "Damien? What are you doing?" I mumbled confused and worried as he slowly looked up at me,

"Lillian, my love, please forgive me" he mumbled placing his head back down as I placed my hands either side of his face and forced him to look up at me,

"Whatever for Damien?" I whispered as I felt a tremor rush through his body, "I have failed you. I don't deserve you" he whispered sinking completely into me as I also fell onto the floor cradling him into my chest,

"I should have figured it out before now. I didn't protect you and I let you be violated and used by my own brother. I was horrible to you, and I have completely failed you as your mate and your partner, so I understand if you want to reject me. I would completely understand, I haven't done my job, I have failed." he said, his tears rolling onto my shoulder I held him close,

I gripped his face as I made him look me in my eyes.

His words physically hurt me; how could I reject him? The thought of it made me want to rip out my own heart and crush it, I couldn't deal with the pain of not having him. Not now that I finally felt complete.

I wiped his tears as I softly placed my lips on his, the warmth of our bond flowing between us as I sighed and I pulled back finding tears of my own flowing down my face,

"Damien Mordred, I love you. Whatever Brand tried to make me feel is nothing compared to this, to you. I will kill him for what he did to you and to us. But there is nothing more I would like than for you to forgive me for believing him and almost falling for his trick, I am yours Damien, always and forever." I whispered against his lips as his arms wrapped around my waist,

He let out a deep breath as I spoke and I smiled, "He will regret what he has done to us, but no matter what, you are mine and I am yours. Nothing will ever separate us again, there is no one else for me but you" I whispered as he let out a deep breath trembling against me,

"Then accept this from me, Lillian Silverback, the best I can do for you right now. Will you be my mate, my other half and my equal, my queen forever" he said, pulling out the red and black ring he had given to me, what felt like a lifetime ago.

I gasped as he slid it onto my finger, "Where did you find this, I thought I had lost it on the battlefield" I asked as he smiled at me tucking my hair gently behind my ear, "I found it and I kept it, just in case" he said as I pulled him to me crushing my lips onto his,

"So that's a yes then?" he joked as I playfully pushed his chest, "Yes Damien, I'm yours, I always have been" I said as he grinned picking me up and twirling me around as I giggled and held him close.

He was mine.

I couldn't believe it, through all the lies and all the betrayal, now I had found the other half of me, and who would have thought it would be Damien Mordred.

He stopped twirling as his eyes grew dark and his hands slowly trailed down my back as I shivered,

"I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep my hands off you" he growled as I felt my core clench, "Every little thing you do makes me want to rip your clothes off and fuck you until you can't ever walk again. I want to fuck you until you can't even remember your name" he whispered deeply into my ear as his breath rushed down my neck setting my body on fire and causing me to let out a light breathy moan,
