Damon stared through the sky, he could picture the rising the of the moon, this was the third full moon that set for the year, there was one thing werewolves enjoys in full moons, the warmth of the full moon which radiates on their body when they change to their wolf form.

Damon smiled, but that wasn't the only reason he loves full moons, full moons meant seeing Anna, the woman who had been forcefully taken away from him right from the moment he laid his eyes on her.

As if knowing he was thinking about her, he felt a slender hands on his shoulders, slowly, he turned to stare at the woman who had captured his heart, her scent alone was able to relax his inner battles.

"You aren't asleep yet?"

Anna asked, staring at Damon, the brother to her mate.

"A wounded lion can never be found asleep."

Damon whispered, touching her face tenderly, he heard a gasp emit from her lips, he smiled, she was so damn beautiful.

"What Is the issue? you can share your thoughts with me."

Anna said, her eyes glistened with unwavering affection for the man who had first captured her heart right from the start.

"I want you......"

Damon phrased, he stared at her longingly, slowly tracing her lips with his fingers.....slowly and affectionately

"....but.... I can't have you. You aren't mine, the goddess have always been cruel with me, first taking my birth right, then taking one thing I always desired which is you."

Damon said, watching as she quivered under his touch, he affected her in so many ways but that was where it all end. His touch on her body was to have a little glimmer of hope.

"Your birth right wasn't taken by the goddess, it was taken away from you forcefully by the culture, our tradition took you away from your right and me."

Anna said, smiling bitterly as a tear fell off from her tender face.

"Don't cry my love. I promise to fight and take you away with me to a far away land, there you will get pregnant for me and bear my pups."

Damon said, quickly holding her two cheeks, he smashed his lips on hers.

The full moon covered their entwined body as they savored each others tongue. Damon wasn't ready to quit tasting every inch of her mouth, she always tasted like vanilla, the flavor that always draws him closer to her.

Slowly they detached from each others hold, Anna bent low as she stared down at him.

"But that can't happen, you are only lucky to be alive, your brother only keeps you alive because he promised your parents to do so."

Anna said, quickly hugging him as she cried sorrowfully.

"Shhhh, you don't need to cry, I hate hearing you cry."

Damon said, each choke that wobbles out from her lips caused his heart to squeeze with anger.

"But I can't be with you."

Anna said, staring at him.

"Perhaps that is our fate, but I promise to be with you always. That is a promise."

Damon said, slowly detaching her from his body.

"You brought more twins to the pack?"

Damon asked.

His brother Damien, who was the alpha of the pack immediately after their parents had died always came to the barren land which belongs to his pack whenever there was twins to deliver.

He was in charge of taking care of this twins which have been brought to the barren land.

That was the price he had to pay to survive until he leaves the barren land.

"Yes, your brother brought more twins, since you have been kept alive, there wasn't a need to kill the last twins in the pack. The pack will term it to be partial. I wish this whole tradition will stop."

Anna whispered, but something kept raking in her mind, something terrible which she was about to do.

"I see, my brother is treating you well?"

Damon said, staring at her.

Anna stared at him for a while, slowly closing her eyes, all she could see was light blue eyes which stared back at her in pain.

How could she forget that day, the first day she had been sent to the banished land to cater for the little twins who have been forcefully taken. Then Damon parents ruled the pack of the Gemini, at first when she saw Damon, she had taught him to be the arrogant son of the alpha who had been wooing her before they found out they were true mates.

Later on she realized he was the second twin whose story have been constantly discussed within the pack.

Damon had captured her heart totally at first sight and It was the same for him too, his bare chest which had shun under the sparkling sun had captivated her teenage self and at that moment she decided he was the one for him, but fate had her ways of playing games. They could not be together, her parents been one of the great elders of the werewolf clan cannot allow her be mated to an abominable child.

But that never stopped them from seeing each other, every little chance she had, she would use it to visit the barren land which was almost seven hundred miles when she uses a horse.

"Anna....you seem lost, is my brother treating you well, if he is not treating you well, I won't waste a single moment to rip him apart, I don't care about the consequences."

Damon said, glaring down at the threshold that lead to where his twin brother might have been laying.

"I got carried away by the past. Damien is still Damien."

Anna whispered, there wasn't much to say about the other twin, Damien was an arrogant bastard whom she had been forced to marry.

"That is not an answer, my brother is an arrogant man who doesn't know how to treat anyone with respect. I can sue him to death if he ever tried harming you......"

"Shuuuuu, you need to keep your voice low, your voice might be heard and if that happens, we both will be in a big trouble. Damien will have a reason for detaching your body."

Anna said, touching his beards slowly, watching as his breathing calmed down a little. There was something peculiar about this two brothers, they are hot blooded fellow.

"I am sorry for throwing such an outburst."

Damon said, circling her within his arms as he placed his forehead on hers.

He breathed in her scent slowly and deeply, his one wish was to have her but he could not have her.

"It's fine, you care so much for me that is why you threw such an outburst."

Anna said, hugging him back.

"When do you leave with the others."

Damon asked, they never stayed less than two days when ever they visited the barren lands, watching her leave the barren land was the hardest thing he had learned to endure.

"We leave by first light tomorrow morning."

Anna said, she felt his breath stopped for a while and she felt her heart broke into pieces.

"There is a problem."

Damon said, still hugging her.

"There Is always a problem."

Anna said, laughing lowly.

Damon chuckled at her words.

"Well it is true. We always have problems and I wish for that to stop."

Damon said, smiling quite sadly.

"I won't see you anymore."

Damon said, Anna slowly detached her self from his hug.

"What do you mean I won't see you anymore. Are you planning on running away, while I remain with your brother."

Anna said, watching as Damon shook his head frantically.

"No I am not running away. My brother must have suspected our closeness. In the meeting he mentioned something about him coming alone to the barren land from now on and if I ever said a word in the discussion, he will question me and perhaps find the truth about us, then he will hurt you at the end of it, which I don't want it to happen."

Damon said, Anna nodded her head in understanding.

Damien was a bitch, Anna thought.

Anna breathed in slowly, there wasn't any other option left, she will have to do the last thing in her mind.

"Come let's have some drink in your chambers, who knows when I will meet you again, maybe In two years or ten years or so."

Kira said, leading him to his room in the dark night when no eyes was watching.

Damon followed after her, he needed a drink to clear his mind off.

When they reached his room, she dragged him to sit on the wooden bed.

"I came to your room with wine but I couldn't find you so I decided to check on you."

Anna said, handling him a glass as she filled it with wine, she took a glass for her self, filling it with wine.

"You came prepared already, hmmm I love the taste of this wine."

Damon whispered, gulping the wine at once, the wine was insanely sweet and makes one forget themselves for long.

"Yes it is, take more, sometimes you got to free your mind by drinking."

Anna said, she only but tasted a single drop of the wine.

"Yes I will, you aren't drinking?"

Damon asked, watching as her cup still have a huge amount of wine left in it.

"Of course I take wine but a little, I am a terrible drinker."

Anna said, adding more wine to his cup, watching as he drowned it shakily.

"I feel drunk already but I need more wine."

Damon said, stretching his hands towards the cup.

Anna smiled down at him, filling his cup with more wine, she quickly walked to close the door, her plans had been activated, this was the last moment she might spend with him, so she had no other option than to make him drunk, she will bear her actions alone. He was drunk and it was time to make him hers, she was not going to regret this when she wakes up the next morning, Never!
