Love Thy Shadow, Satan (LTSS) [#Wattys2018]

Chapter 41 - Gone But Not Forgotten

Caden's POV

I sat in silence, witnessing from above, as the bodies of all in attendance waltzed around the large hall in celebration.

Holding the wooden frame with both hands - trying to keep the shaking to a minimum - I silently watched from the overlooking balcony, as she twirled in close proximity with every eligible man in the room. 

The nerve of those weaklings. Bane muttered somewhere from the depths of my soul, as my eyes unintentionally locked at touching skin and locked limbs - wanting them to be my own.

The need eating me away from the inside, with Bane only managing to make the need stronger with his words.

To touch something so precious. A low growl managed to escape my tight lips, only managing to fuel my growing anger. Why do I have to feel so... uncomfortable..? .. About this?

To touch such a thing, that we have not. His words are becoming more and more irritating to me. I don't understand...

My heart felt disturbed at the thought, and I wasn't enjoying the outcome of these unnecessary agitations.

Silence. I commanded, forcing the unfamiliar trembling of my hands to cease completely. 

Bane, unwillingly, heeded to my force.

Relaxing my muscles slightly, after holding tense for a while longer, I started to ponder on the vixen dancing on the floor below - my eyes following her every move, as if clinging to her every movement.

Why do Bane and I feel in disarray, whenever that pup is involved?

However, putting that aside, another thing had managed to bother me more that the former - and that was just the simple fact the she had not come to meet me, on her special day.

Maybe she didn't want to risk a chance of us being her destined one. Bane remarked, rather solemnly - and, for some reason, it did nothing but cause an uncomfortable itch in my chest.

Does she hate me that much?

I admit, we have not been on the best of footing since we've met - but that doesn't mean our relationship has to stay that way. We have to make an effort to get along - if not for ourselves then atleast for the pack but...

I really do want to get to know her... the girl who I failed to locate in all her years of absence.

The girl who evades me, even now.

I'm not sure why... But I want her.

And father always did say... that if you want something, you must use your own hands to clasp it tightly.

I'll make sure to do just that... but not without having a little fun beforehand, of course.

I just hope she doesn't break too easily... cos I plan on having a little fun with my new toy.

Faith's POV

I went in search for my mate, after he had left me to drown in my own confusion.
