The Journey 1

Damien’s POV

The sight of her not being in the room ached me, I don’t know why I felt like she’d run away. And her absence in this room turned me off.

“Where the hell did she go to?” My hands flipped the mirror down, breaking it into pieces. My fury rose not seeing her immediately. It took about thirty minutes before Ethan showed up.

“Without her? I swear, she’ll regret doing this!”

“Calm down, my lord. She was just having fun with one of the damsels around.”

“What are you saying? I want to see her here right now.” I took his hands, and said slowly and slowly. Ethan might have been the only one who has seen my miserability, His face comforts me, my childhood friend does a great deal as he shows love, and comforts me.

“I’ll bring her here now.”

“Yes, please. Do so.” Ethan left the room swiftly and I sat quietly on the bed waiting for this girl that tortures me with her disappearance.

“My Lord, I’m so sorry. I just thought she needed a walk, since she’s unfamiliar with the pack.”

Though her voice sounds so sincere, I stood up with rage, my body boiling and melting away all the patience I had to have and bear just for Amelia to show up.

“Forgive her, Alpha. Cassie was dumb to do that.”

“If I order your head cut off Cassie, blame your stupid acts. I haven’t given you freedom in this pack to misuse it.” I warned.

“And I don’t want to see you near her.” I ordered.

“But I love her around.”

“And who gave you the right to say anything?”

“I…I’m sorry, I just love her being around me.” Her stuttering voice even sounded so lovely. My heart felt eased immediately and I bowed my head down in disbelief hiding the fact that her words got me. A drop of tear fell from her eyes and I couldn’t watch.

“You both should leave, I want her here alone.”

Keila was also the best lady I’ve come across. I could still remember the fragrance of her dresses, her soft whistle when she wants to tease me and be naughty. Amelia is quite different from her, a lot of difference.

Keila had a warrior inside of her, she’s fearless. Amelia is just handing over fear and I feel I’m yet to know her well. I don’t want to be with a fragile Luna, so I’m not going to accept her. Not yet.

Ethan and Cassie left the room the instant I asked them to leave. I was with Amelia again, alone. Her scent filled me when the tears welled up in her eyes. How can the moon goddess give me Amelia to deal with? I hit my hand on my face and asked her to come closer.

“When you leave my sight, it freaks me. I’m yet to know who you are and what to do with you. You are my mate and I don’t know what position to put you right now.

So, if you try to run away, trust me you are doing yourself no good, Amelia. I make the rules here, and any wolf that bears a captive in this pack is mine and lives under my roof. What part of ‘always obey’ don’t you understand?”

“I want to go home.”

“Stop saying that!” I growled so loudly that it got her scared.

“Take it easy with her.” I could hear my wolf calm me down.

“For the rest of the days I will be out of this pack, you will be guarded. No going out, no stepping out. You want it the hard way? You will get it the hard way.” I assured her.

“And that’s how you always nag.” She muttered. My wolf triggered at the disrespect, I held her neck in a tight grip, almost choking her.

“You should be grateful you are my mate, or else I’d have killed you by now. And respecting my mum’s decision to let death be still.” I paused, she said nothing, her eyes filled with no expression as she stared at me. Though her stare was wild, it didn’t scare me.

“Yeah, my mum. I guess you are not going to be staying in this room anyway.”

“Really? You’ll let go?”

“Amelia, shut up!”

She stood straight and looked away from me.

“What the hell are you doing? If you think annoying will make me chase you out, you are wrong. You will only bring more pain upon yourself.”

“You are going with me by nightfall tomorrow. Will get Cassie to get you ready.”

“Don’t try anything stupid, or your Cassie will pay for it.”

“She’s just a friend I just meant and you can’t be stupid enough to kill her after I already run away.”

“So, you really want to run away? Where do you keep this hatred for me?”

“As long as you don’t leave me to do my thing.”

“I’m done having this conversation. Clean up your wet face, you don’t look good crying.” I could sense her blush, a brief smile ran across her face still on with the wild look though.

“I wonder where Cassie took you to. Get cleaned up than normal before going to sleep.”

“I will, don’t pester me.” She looked at me and turned her face away. I moved closer to her, and raised her chin. She flipped her head off my hands. I raised her head up again and she gave in this time. Breathe heavily on her, I breathed in her scent again and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Your smell…” I whispered behind her ears. I could feel her shiver and my wolf wanted to claim her at that moment.

“Alpha?” Ethan called out from the door after he opened it swiftly. I quickly took hands off her and told her to go to bed. The sun sets quickly and I’d like to see her in her form but it’d only ache me.

“Ethan?”

“I’ve prepared it all. We are ready.”

“We leave by sunset tomorrow.”

“Not today again?”

“No, Amelia is coming with us.” I watched Amelia leave us both and I took Ethan out of the room.

“Get Cassie to get her ready by tomorrow.”
