*Jane*It seems so unbelievable knowing what had just happened between Alpha Damon and I. Never was it within my expectations, that the next time we'd be so intimately close would be this surprising and exhilarating.As I tried to rationalize everything, my heart pounded loudly, and a rush of heat flooded through me."Ugh, he wants us to do it again," I muttered, feeling my cheeks flush.Lost in my own thoughts, I sensed Damon's lips drawing near to my neck. "Why don't you want us to do it again?" he whispered.A shiver ran down my spine as his cool lips touched my neck. "Please...stop," I whispered, my voice barely audible.I wished desperately for the ground to open up and swallow me whole. Why was my voice betraying me like this?It was as though I was craving more for those feelings, instead of pursuing him away. "What was that?" he asked, his mouth trailing kisses along my earlobe.“Gosh heaven!” Through seethed teeth, I let out an unwilling gasp. I knew if this goes on any fu
*Jane*I blinked in his direction, attempting to comprehend his statement."Excuse me?" I gazed at him quizzically.Damon appeared to catch my confusion, as he quickly added, "I mean, you don't have to thank me just because I've decided to depart.""Ah," I pondered aloud, following his clarification.Although I don't seem to figure out the reason why he would hate being thanked, I still nodded. It wasn't good asking him more questions, right?“Indeed.” He muttered. “Um, I'll be leaving you now.” Hearing his words, I nodded, looking relieved. I watched as he completely left the room, but not without closing the door behind him.Heave!My weary body collapsed onto the bed with a heavy sigh escaping my lips. I must admit, my mind is brimming with thoughts.Ugh, I can't believe all of this is happening. His sudden change in demeanor is utterly perplexing.Lost in my thoughts, I was startled by the creaking sound of the door. Turning to see, it was Mara.As she entered the room, I remaine
*Damon*"Cough, cough," Zeeb cleared his throat, casting a meaningful glance."What's up?" I interjected sharply, my eyes keen.Having just exited the room of the young girl, I noticed Zeeb positioned right outside the door.His posture betrayed mischief, signaling trouble ahead.Zeeb fixed his gaze on me before chuckling. "Oh, nothing much, but I sense you have something on your mind, don't you?" He queried, arching an eyebrow.Ignoring his question, I hastened my pace without sparing him a glance."Hey, wait up, Alpha," he chirped, matching my strides.Sporting a grin, he remarked, "So, you spent the night with your breeder. Quite the eventful evening, huh?"I scoffed, refusing to engage.Unfazed by my silence, Zeeb continued, "The whole castle is abuzz with chatter about you two. Shouldn't you address the speculation?"His words elicited a scowl from me. "What are you implying?" I snapped. "Why would anyone be discussing us instead of attending to their duties?"Cutting off any reb
*Damon*Zeeb clearly had a strong desire to probe deeper. It was evident he wasn't inclined to leave me alone."Hey, hold on, Alpha!" Zeeb shouted, struggling to catch his breath as he called out.I ignored him, picking up my pace as I moved away from the corridor.Arriving in the living room, I found myself unconsciously slowing down. My gaze was fixed ahead, intensified with determination.I halted abruptly, waiting for Zeeb to catch up before speaking sharply. "Why are they present?"My tone carried a chill, enough to make Zeeb visibly react without even looking at him.Zeeb offered a forced smile, tilting his head. "I meant to inform you earlier, but it slipped my mind when I saw you."Internally, I rolled my eyes at his excuse. It was evident his claim of forgetting was a fabrication. Zeeb was known for his professionalism and wouldn't easily forget such matters.I scoffed inwardly, struggling to contain my rising anger. Keeping my gaze forward, I clenched my fists as I observed
*Damon*I suppressed a scoff at their overly pleased expressions. Though inwardly discontented, I refused to let it dictate my actions.Taking a deep breath, I rose from my seat, mindful of the scrutinizing eyes upon me, and directed my attention to Zeeb. "Come with me," I instructed tersely.Without waiting to observe Zeeb's undoubtedly complex expression, I pivoted and strode toward the corridor.Even without looking back, I sensed the other Alphas' hesitation, likely considering the propriety of my departure without formal permission. Frankly, I couldn't care less.As I walked towards the corridor, I detected no footsteps trailing behind me. Not until later, anyway.Getting to the corridor, Zeeb scratched his hair, innocently. “Uhm, why are we here?” Fixing my gaze squarely on him, I inquired bluntly, "What's the reason for constantly testing my patience? You're well aware of my disdain for impromptu visits. First, it was Alpha Ryker's unannounced visit to the castle, and now, the
*Damon*“It was a thought of what?” I asked, hoarsely, not wanting to hear his stammering voice.Alpha Brutus gulped. “Uh, I have thought thoroughly before I suggested this solution.” He finally let out.He had been in a stuttering and panic state, as he was trying to figure whether there was anything wrong with the solution he came up with. Having noticed none, I was sure that was why he finally responded. Hmph!With a clear snort, I said. “Having the rogue's eliminated will surely enrage the other rogue's in hiding, which eventually will lead to those attacked neighborhoods in danger. Did you ever consider that?” I tilted my head, as I asked.Hearing my words, I could see Alpha Brutus, ugly expression ceased a little. He must have been bothered about the reason for my earlier question, so hearing the reason now, made him seem more at ease.“Oh, so that's it.” He gasps in understanding , before sitting straight. “You're worried because those neighborhoods the rogue's invaded in, migh
*Damon*The pressure in the living room turned somewhat suffocating after my declaration. In silence, they all stared at me, with mixed expressions visible on their faces.“And why is that?” Alpha Everest, broke the silence, after some moments. “What Aloha Brutus suggested might not be hundred percent right, but that's the only option.” I glanced at him not saying anything for a while, before finally saying. “Uh, let me ask you one question. What's the duty of us all?” Aloha Everest's face turned into a confused frown. I could tell he knew I was up to no good, but just couldn't pinpoint what it's. Every other person's face turned tense also. They all had the same thinking just as Alpha Everest. I don't need to look much, because it was clearly written on their faces.Knowing he couldn't read my mind, he finally responded. “The duty of us all should be protecting our people.”I gave a small smile at his response. “Then, don't you think of following Alpha Brutus' plan and taking a ri
*Damon*As Alpha Everest exclaimed out, hush silence befall the hall. The cold temperature coming from me unexpectedly froze everywhere.With those dark eyes of mine, I stared sharply at him, making him almost shiver. “You say what?” My voice was cold and hoarse, clearly showing the restraining anger.Not at all, was my voice helping the issue at all; rather it was worsening and making the surrounding more tensed. Of course, I knew that, but I didn't try easing the atmosphere up instead the aura I exuded added more pressure.Alpha Everest feet turned cold, as he stammered. “I… what I was trying to…”I could see the furstration within those shaking body of his. Without any need for reading through me, I knew he must be silently cursing me inwardly.Hmph! I snorted coldly not giving a damn f*ck about whatever is dwelling in those mind of his.With a cold and impatient eyes, j snapped. “I'm waiting! Don't tell you your mouth is having problem.”Those last words of mine might seem like a
