Elsie stood there unsure of what to do. How was she to train? Should she start running or what?
She blinked and couldn't resist asking, "Eeh...How do I start?"
"You will run for 60 miles this night," Damien raised his head and with a smile, he pointed in a certain direction.
"60 miles!" Elsie suddenly felt faint-headed. Who asks a woman to run 60 miles? oh, wait she's not even a woman yet but a girl!
How will she run 60 miles? she's not a military girl!
Taking a deep breath she raised her eyes to peek at Damien with a pleading face which was telling Damien, "Please I can't run 60 miles, I might die!"
However, Damien's face remained indifferent which in return, told her that even if she pleaded from now will tomorrow, he wouldn't change his mind. Elsie could only sigh and walked away in the direction she was to run from.
She was able to persist through the run and reached 40 miles, but that was it. She couldn't run anymore.
Her leg was numb, she could barely move it. Her breathing was heavy as though she could collapse any minute from now.
"Ahhh!!!" She screamed out in frustration. How was she to run 60 miles? It was impossible. Bu-but if she doesn't, Damien won't be pleased with her at all.
"Common....you can do this," Elsie nodded to herself and took a deep breath before she proceeded to continue the run.
She ran up to 50 miles and felt the world spinning around her, but that didn't stop her, She persisted and finally made it to 60 miles. Well, she did but what about returning?
Elsie nearly fainted when she recalled, she had to run back as well.
"If I don't cut him into pieces then my name is not Elsie Moore!"
She took a deep breath and proceeded to run back. This time it was much easier compared to when she was running up.
A whole five hours enacted before she made it back. She furiously walked toward Damien, stomping her every step as perspiration dripped from her body.
Anger was bubbling up within her as her chest rose and fell. Before she could even vent her anger on Damien, she suddenly felt the world spin around her and she collapsed into Damien's arms.
Damien chuckled as he scooped her up in a bridal style and took her inside the house. He took her to the bathroom and laid her into the bathtub. He wasn't going to let her sleep with perspiration all over her body. Not on his bed.
He gently slipped off her clothes revealing her naked bony body and could not help but feel pessimistic as his hand touched her body, He couldn't help but think, "Seems she doesn't eat much." He scooped up a full cup of water and poured it on her body then proceeded to scrub her body.
While he was doing this, something began to rise within him, something like fire. Would he call it 'desire? But that was impossible, he doesn't love her, he feels nothing for her. He may have accepted her as his mate but he doesn't love her.
Something instantly roared within him which had him tremble voilently, he knew it was his demon. How could she move his demon? Was it because they were mates?
Damien's mind was in chaos, he was feeling something he had never felt before, even with the first woman he ever loved. What was this girl doing to him? What was happening to him?
Perspiration began to drip from his face, he was struggling inside to restrain himself from doing anything stupid. Why was this happening? He has never lost himself like this before!
He instantly stood up and left her naked body there and strolled outside. He needed to get himself together. His eyes gazed up to the night sky as his demon gradually calmed down.
....
In the middle of the night, Elsie suddenly woke up feeling refreshed and her eyes went to her body and saw the new sets of clothes on her, she instantly knew that Damien must have been the one that changed her into these clothes. This time she didn't feel shy anymore unlike the first time.
Her eyes darted around the room and stopped on Damien who was lying on the couch with his eyes tightly shut. She gently brought her legs down from the bed and tip-toed towards Damien who was fast asleep on the couch.
She slipped her skinny body into the space beside Damien on the couch and snuggled up to him. She laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arm around his waist, he felt so comfortable to snuggle up to even though his body was cold. With a face full of smiles Elsie closed her eyes and dozed off to sleep.
Damien who was snuggled up to, opened his eyes to peek at the skinny girl who had her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.
He wanted to carry her back to the bed but gave up on the idea. She was his mate after all so he found it okay to let her do that...
The next morning.....
The morning sun rose and poured through the window into their room. Elsie got up from the couch and a wonderful scent filled her nose 'food!' She instantly rushed outside the house and her eyes darted around and stopped on Damien who was seated across a table filled with delectable foods.
She walked towards the table and sat opposite him. Her large eyes gaped down at the delicacies on the table as excitement gleamed In her eyes. She gulped down a mouthful of saliva as she raised her to look at Damien and gain permission before digging in.
Damien smiled and nodded at her to go ahead. He had already made a decision last night, that he was going to feed her well so she could add weight. She would look more beautiful then.
This was the first time, Damien had given her a genuine smile but Elsie who was too immersed in her food didn't notice.
He continued to smile with crossed arms as he gazed at the beautiful skinny girl in front of him. She was gobbling down her food as though the food would run away from her.
He could not help but chuckle within him and suddenly realized that he hasn't taken a good look at this mate of his. His gaze wandered to her large eyes and then to her lips, he couldn't help but smile at how adorable her large eyes and tiny lips looked.
Everything on her face was small and cute except for her adorable large eyes. If anyone told her that this adorable girl was heartless when killing or that she could even kill without the slightest bit of emotion, he wouldn't believe it.
Her white hair fell over her face and was obstructing her from eating properly. He unknowingly stretched his hands across the table and gathered up her hair and put it beside her ear.
"Take it easy or you might choke."
Elsie's spoon which was about to enter her mouth halted at her lips. She was stunned by Damien's action.
He was treating her well today, unlike the other days he would always scold and push her away. A thought suddenly arose in her mind, "Is he beginning to love me?" Her face flushed a light pink the moment she thought that.
Damien who was watching her was stunned, "What is wrong with her? Why is she blushing?"
Damien was but a man who knew nothing about how women act or behave neither their reaction to some things.
.....
Elsie who was done with her food was currently lying down on a huge stone in front of the house. A shadow suddenly enveloped her and she looked up to see Damien standing in front of her with a gloomy face.
"What are you doing lying there?"
She instantly sat up as she bit her crimson lips nervously. Today she ate the type of food she never imagined eating since she arrived in this world. So normally she would relax to digest the food but here she was about to exhaust it.
She sighed as she stood up and walked over to stand beside him. He was completely different from the man she ate with minutes ago.
