Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 268: Her struggles

[Warning: Self-harm]

{Black Wolf Tribe}

Heath felt like he was dreaming. This was the best day of his life. His Elena asked him to visit her bedroom today. For the past few weeks, he had not even properly seen his mate’s face because she refused to meet all of her mates including him.

His mate had not been the same after his father-in-law’s death. She shut herself in her room and talked only with a witch master named Gregory. Heath on the other hand felt wary of that witch master. His instincts screamed at him to get his mate away from that beastman. The maddened look in that beastman’s eyes was very unsettling and bothered him to no end. Gregory looked like someone that would end the world if given a chance. So his mate’s involvement with that witch master worried him but there was nothing he could do. His mate was not even willing to see him or her other mates for him to talk until now.

Heath somehow wanted to bring that witch master’s matter to his mate but decided to hold back for now. Today, he wanted to spend as much as time he could with his mate and didn’t want to spoil her mood by talking about Gregory.

And when he finally came near his mate’s room, his heart started to thump loudly inside his chest. He gingerly stretched his hand forward and curled them before knocking on the door that separated his mate from him. She was just beyond that door and he wouldn’t wait any longer to meet her.

With bated breath, he waited until he felt the door slowly opening. And the one to open it was his Elena. She looked so lovely with her black hair cascading down her back while her beautiful eyes met his, "Why are you standing there like that? Get in"

Heath nodded fervently before shakingly entering the room. He saw as his mate closed the door before striding towards the bed.

"Come here," she said and he moved forward as though hypnotized by her.

Kalena observed all of his movements with a straight face. ’Fool’ she sneered inside her mind. The sight of him getting so excited just because she called him to her bedroom seemed so pathetic. His lover and mate were not here anymore and he wasn’t even able to recognize that. Shouldn’t he have already guessed about someone replacing his mate? Elena was gone from his life and he didn’t even seem to know anything about it. All of Elena’a mates were like that. They thought that their mate has just changed and didn’t dare rebuke her in any way. But what she could not deny is their love for Elena. They loved her wholeheartedly.

Would Adrian behave just like them if he was born in this world instead of the heavenly realm? Would he have loved her this much if both she and he were born here? And the answer to the question came easily to her mind. No, he would have still chosen that wench, Vanadey even if he was born a beastman. After all, he left his position as the archangel just to be with that bitch, and as well as threw away the person he had spent all his life with for her. Kalena had known Adrian all her life and vice versa. He was her only friend and the one that was always there for her when her mother died. And Kalena foolishly believed his care was love until he decided to leave her.

She briefly closed her eyes forcing herself to stop thinking about him. For now, she shifted her attention to the man in front of her. Gregory had informed her to at least behave like Elena to not cause any doubt amongst the tribesmen. Kalena was done with mopping in self-pity while locking herself inside her room. She was here to take her revenge and fulfill her life goal of destroying all the traces of Adrian that was left in this world. So she decided to do her part to not regret it later and what could be the best way to accomplish trust other than sleeping with one of Elena’s mates? By doing this, she could put a stop to all of the suspicions surrounding her and use the black wolf tribe to its complete potential.

"Elena?" Heath called bringing her out of her thoughts. He looked at his mate in confusion meanwhile she forced a smile on her face. She clenched her fist and leaned forward to peck his mouth. That was all it took for him because, in the next second, Kalena was under him as Heath hovered above her. He urgently captured his mate’s lips into his and started to kiss her. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Kalena was caught by surprise and froze in her place as he felt him kiss her hungrily. She felt repulsed even though this was not her body. She had a hard time stopping herself from pushing the man above her. Her hands were clenched tightly as they held the sheets under her. This was necessary! She kept on reminding herself of this fact. She has to do this for her future goals. It was her responsibility to fool all of the Black Wolf tribesmen so that they could do her bidding even if meant for her warm a man’s bed, she didn’t mind doing it.

Or so she thought. It was very hard for her to maintain her composure hence as a last resort, she closed her eyes and tried to remove her mind from this reality. And soon her mind drifted to another side which she never wished to reach. As Heath kissed her lips, she thought Adrian doing that. When the latter caressed her body, she convinced herself that it was her Adrian. Then her clothes came undone and she felt something entering her body. Her body jerked like that of a rag doll as Heath moved his waist inside her.

"I love you, mate" Kalena heard him say, and once again pictured Adrian saying that to her.

It became easier like that and when Heath was done with her, she slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. There was nothing left in her eyes. Only emptiness could be seen but Heath missed that due to his euphoria. He peppered kisses on her face and Kalena just let him be. However, when he tried to kiss her lips, she snapped out of her stupor before harshly pushing him away from her.

She covered herself with the blanket before glaring at Heath who looked confused by his mate’s sudden shift in behavior, "What happend....?" he tried to ask only for her to cut him off, "Get out!"

Heath felt troubled. He hurriedly tried to rush towards his mate to only scoot away from him, "What’s wrong, Elena? Did I do something wrong?"

"I said get out!" that was the only reply he received. His eyes turned red as tears filled inside. Why was Mate looking at him with so much resentment? He didn’t know what to want wrong he did.

"Can’t you hear!? Get out of here!" his heart ached painfully when she said those words to him. He tightly clenched his jaw and took a deep breath before getting up from the bed, "Please, don’t be angry. I will leave" With that, he tied his animal skin skirt around his waist before going out of the room.

’Thud’ As soon as the door closed, Kalena got up from her place and rushed in a certain direction. She picked up a box lying on the table before opening it. A dagger was present inside it and she took it out before holding it in her hand. It was the same dagger she had used to kill Elena’s father.

But what happened next was quite alarming. Without even a flinch, she brought that dagger near her wrist before digging inside it. She dragged it along her wrist and crimson blood soon started to come out of the cut and trickled down the ground.

Kalena felt relieved now. She could finally breathe. Whenever she tried to do this on her original self, it always turned futile. The knife wasn’t able to pierce her divine self and even if it did, the wound would close on its own in no time. She always felt annoyed because of that. Whenever she thought of Adrian, Kalena wanted to harm herself so that she would not forget his betrayal.

But being an Angel, even harming herself was not possible until she found other ways to do it. She inflicted herself with a dagger laced with darkness. The only thing that could harm an angel like her. However, that was never enough because her injuries healed quickly.

So, occupying Elena’s body was like a blessing in disguise for her. Now, she can harm herself as much as she wished. The sight of blood trickling along her arm was quite a sight. And the pain accompanied by it made her so pleased. It was very calming for her to do this.
