Feelings

TERRENCE

«Hey...hey!!! Stop it… Prince»

That's what I wanted to say to Daemon when I felt his face buried in my neck and his arm in my wrist hugging me tightly but my lips were closed with some kind of force... I don't know why but I couldn't speak or push him away.

For some reason I could feel the fear in Daemon through his aroma, he had pain in his heart I could sense it in that hug, but... if he kept that position my face would explode from embarrassment!

I was red for his actions... And completely embarrassed of course, because I had never been hugged in that way or any other since that curse appeared on my face and above all Daemon was not a normal alpha... He was a prince and from what Leva told me Daemon was very attractive but that was not the biggest problem, he had a big body and was hot... His well-worked body was burning inside and outside and feeling all his muscles touching my body was uncomfortable...

But despite all of that the main problem was that Daemon had asked for my hand in marriage and my wolf accepted it so in the eyes of everyone it was normal to have that kind of interaction... But for me that I want to cancel that marriage that scene was another misunderstanding that I had to clarify

After we had that breakfast I was planning to talk with Daemon to cancel the engagement but if he acted like that it made it difficult for me to reject the prince.

When Blausen had taken my hand and Daemon had released me so easily I was relieved but somehow I feel a little strange... However now I couldn't think of anything more than how to resolve that situation.

"You make a VERY cute couple without a doubt"

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I forgot that we were not alone, my brother's voice was like a bucket of ice water.

"Speaking of couples" Erick spoke again but the tone he used gave me goosebumps.

«Do not tell me that…» a bad feeling invade me when my brother talks

"Blausen and I…" he continued speaking while I just stood motionless on my spot.

«Stop...» I thought squeezing my hands with much more force than before «STOP IT… DON'T SAY IT»

"We got engaged"

Those simple words made everything inside me break… why? Why did he have to do that? Even when I confessed to him...

«oh… I knew it…»

Erick, that boy who called himself my brother... was nothing more than a hypocrite who enjoyed making me suffer... surely he had done that on purpose... if not, what would he have agreed to engage with the person I liked?

"Sorry I lost my appetite"

…

Daemon released Terrence when he heard Erick's words, something inside him relaxed a little because with that news Blausen no longer meant a threat to his relationship with Terrence but for some reason, that news bothered him even more. He didn't need to see Terrence know that hearing that news would make the omega sad and Daemon confirmed it when the minor said those words and he quickly got up with a horrible pain expression.

Daemon didn't even think twice to get up, seeing him in that condition he carried the younger in a princess style to take him away without even glancing at the other two.

Erick released Blausen as Daemon and Terrence stepped out of his vision and for the first time the omega's delicate face twisted into one of disgust and annoyance.

"I thought we would tell them at the right time" Blausen spoke amazed at that expression that his now engaged omega showed to him.

"I got mad… hahahahahaha" that was the only thing that said Erick looking at Blausen with a dark smile.

"Seriously you are dangerous, I would not want to be your enemy" although he said it a bit jokingly Blausen knew that the omega was really someone dangerous, although he tried to hide it there was something very dark in Erick's inside and Blausen knew people with that kind of darkness very well.

They were the kind of people that if you got in their way, they wouldn't hesitate to break you into little pieces...

"I don't understand why are you doing this"

"It's a very long and boring story, but I'll tell you after the wedding my dear prince" Erick whispered that close to Blausen's lips but without touching them.

Without saying more, Erick got up and left Blausen alone on that tablecloth, he raise his head to look at the sky wondering how they had come to this situation.

…

Killian and Leva had heard a bit of the conversation but neither of them dared to follow Daemon, who looked like he was going to murder someone at that very moment.

The Alpha walked so far, so fast...that he even walked out of the castle and get into the forested area surrounding the Reinheit kingdom. He stopped for a moment but when he heard Terrence's sob he couldn't do more than hug him a little more, closing the distance between their bodies until it was non-existent.

He starts walking again through the trees releasing his smell to cover the body of Terrence but he felt horrible, he felt worse than trash, what right did he have to cling onto Daemon's warmth when he had given his heart to another boy?

"I'm sorry… I..."

"Shh... it's ok, everything it's ok Terrence"

Hearing the alpha's response, Terrence couldn't help but let his tears roll down his face relentlessly. He had never imagined how much he needed to hear those words from another person.

Hiding his face in Daemon's big torso Terrence let his tears flow like never before, he hadn't cried like this in years... but he felt so good to release for the first time everything he had accumulated inside...

When he finally calmed down Terrence noticed that they weren't moving anymore, at some point Daemon had sat near a body of water, he knew it by the sound that was made when a fish jumped and hunt an insect.

Without the consuming pain in his chest, he could feel the Alpha's large hands holding him with a strange delicacy as if he was a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest movement.

"Thank you very much…" he was finally able to pronounce those words trying to sound as calm as possible but Terrence didn't hear the answer from the opposite

It was strange and Terrence thought that Daemon had finally gotten angry at him but that wasn't the case... in a couple of seconds the distance between them was almost zero...

Terrence could feel Daemon's face so close to him that his breaths collided a little, the tip of the Alpha's nose wandered freely on his face invading his personal space until he felt their lips could almost touch each other.

"Don't do it Terrence" Daemon's grave voice sounds like a growl but it was enough to make Terrence feel a chill on his back.

"D-do what?" he asked completely nervous and embarrassed

He didn't know what was Daemon doing taking advantage of his lack of vision to do that kind of move on him...

"Thank me…"

"Eh… but"

"I... I know I can't be in your heart right now but I don't want the person I like to thank me for something like that... Terrence... let me protect you every time you need it, I want to be your support, your confidence, your strength... although you only call me your friend"

Each word that came out of Daemon's sensual lips felt like a true caress in the soul of Terrence, that touched him too much and he wondered why he hadn't fallen in love with him first... Why it couldn't be him? although those thoughts became an indescribable pain in his heart and the image he had of the Blausen flashed through his mind.

«If only Blausen... were the one to say those words to me...»

When he realizes his thoughts, Terrence clenched his hands tightly.

"I'm sorry... the last thing I want is to hurt you, your highness... even if I don't know you that well... I know you are a very good person and without a doubt, you deserve to be loved like no one else... even if I can't give you that love"

"I don't need love… if you let me stay by your side"

The alpha replied immediately, leaving his face hidden in that space between Terrence's neck and shoulder that now he loves so much because there the delicious aroma of the minor accumulated more strongly.

"Please…"

What a dilemma…

Terrence felt like he was on an endless road, if he agreed to Daemon's request he would have to carry some guilt inside him knowing that he might never be able to reciprocate his feelings but he feared that rejecting him would be even worse for the alpha that clung to him with that palpable pain...

To be continue
