Lift it

"See this?" He stabbed a tall sword which was silver-colored into the soil, "This will be your weapon from now onwards. Lift it!"

"Huh," Elsie blinked her eyes and confusion could be seen in her large eyes. Why would he ask her to lift a sword?

Narrowing her eyes, she walked up to the sword and clasped it with one hand to lift it, but to her surprise, she couldn't lift it.

She tried again but still couldn't lift it.

"Hmmm," She felt maybe she wasn't using enough strength so she used both her hands this time together with more strength, however, she still couldn't lift it.

Unwilling to believe she couldn't lift the skinny long sword, She added more force to the degree where perspiration began trickling down her face.

"What….in the world is this?" It just doesn't make sense to her, how she couldn't lift this skinny long sword!

True, she wasn't that strong but she wasn't weak either!

Her chest rose and fell as she tried to catch her breath. she was frustrated! frustrated that she couldn't lift a damn sword!

Damien who was watching her chuckled at her reaction and a smile crept up his rosy lips. "It's your first training, don't step away from that position!" He turned around and with his hands behind his back, he walked back to his chair and smoothly sat down.

He raised his eyes to glance at the skinny beauty in front of him and with a raise of his brow, he signaled the young lady to continue.

Elsie glared at him and turned to face the sword stabbed into the soil. She just can't understand how she was not able to lift the sword whilst Damien could do it with one hand! Was she that weak?

Time flew by slowly and the sun was gradually setting, signaling every living being that night was approaching.

Elsie sat down beside the sword with an aggrieved look on her face. she was unwilling to believe that she couldn't lift a sword! a sword for goodness sake! It was just too embarrassing that she suddenly felt weak.

Rising on her feet, She decided to give it one more try, and if she can't lift it this time, then she would leave.

She channeled all her strength and pulled the sword but it didn't budge even a bit. Out of frustration, she kicked the sword while screaming, and eventually sat down thereafter she was done venting her anger. She felt useless! completely useless!

Watching her with an amused face, Damien chuckled within him. He just realized that this little mate of his still has a lot to understand. Smiling he threw his head back, ignoring the skinny cute lady that was furiously glaring at him.

Elsie rolled her eyes and scoffed when she saw Damien ignore her. Was he playing with her or what? How could he ask her to lift such a heavy thing? She suddenly felt that being skinny was very bad.

.....

Night fell and Elsie who was seated beside the sword dozing off to sleep was suddenly jolted awake by a man's voice.

"Did you forget you were supposed to run 60 miles this night?"

"But...," She didn't know whether to cry or not. She was beyond tired and running at such time was almost impossible. With a blink of her eyes, She helplessly stood up with a sigh and proceeded to run 60miles.

The moment she returned, she ended up collapsing again before she could utter a word. As usual, Damien scooped her up, took her to the bathroom and washed her up and then he laid her on the bed to rest.

When he was done, he took a walk outside and sat on the house pavement, and gazed up at the night sky. His thoughts wandered off to the skinny mate of his.

He couldn't stop thinking about her since last night. Deep inside he hoped that he wasn't falling for her. He didn't want to be enmeshed by a woman again.

While he was thinking, something roared within him again.

His demon! It awoke again! why! why was this happening? He felt like he was losing control of his demon.

With a gloomy face, he abruptly stood up and began to pace back and forth on the pavement. He was trying to suppress his demon, but it just wasn't listening. It kept roaring inside of him. It wanted its mate! it wants what it desires!

Damien however couldn't grant its wish. He would never go too far with a woman which he didn't love.

He wouldn't do anything to Elsie, not now he believed!

He glanced at the sky one more time and turned around to saunter into the house. He strolled to his couch and threw himself into it.

Damien laid down on the couch, but for some reason, he couldn't sleep and felt very uncomfortable. Why was he feeling uncomfortable sleeping on his couch?

He constantly turned from one side to another and out of frustration, he abruptly stood up and took a deep breath. He glanced at Elsie who was fast asleep with her white hair scattered all over the bed. An unimaginable desire burned within him and one thing we're clear, 'He wanted her!'

Shaking his head, he shooked the thought off. What was he thinking? He has never been this lustful towards any woman, not even those he satisfied himself with.

Furiously, he walked up and down the room, and when he couldn't control himself anymore, he walked up to the bed where Elsie laid and slipped himself into the space beside her.

He gently wrapped his arms around her skinny waist and pulled her closer to him.

He placed his head on her shoulder and nuzzled her neck. The moment he did this, the desire burning within him erupted to a whole new level. What was he to do now? He just wants to hold her this way forever!

Damien hugged her skinny body tightly and continued to nuzzle her neck, he felt so comfortable with her beside him that he unknowingly fell asleep with his arms tightly wrapped around her.
