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.”Amelia’s POVThe morning came so swiftly, I felt like I hadn't had any sleep. Her voice brought me up from my sleep.“Rise and shine, you have to start getting ready.”“Did he tell you to do this too?”“No, but he might have. He told me to get you ready by sunset today.”“I see.”“Come on, you’ll be fine.” She encouraged me like I had last night. Cassie’s presence has given me a lot of risen feelings to stay and get used to the pack house interests. I might have learnt a thing or two, like giggling and ignoring the crippled arrogance.We rode through the dark cold night, my face felt so pale and argued. I watched the silence fading with Ethan’s voice over my head.“Are you okay?” His face looked so questioning and quite different from the real question he asked me. I just sniffed the blunt air and ignored him like he had ignored me all through. I’m not suffering that hard, I just couldn’t compare the hard feelings I’ll get if I was actually back at home. Ethan turned back and looked
Ethan gave Damien a curious look, waiting for his answer. He was sure he’d accept her but Damien was quite unpredictable and made his decision as he wanted to. “I can’t say yet, I may give her a chance but not sooner. I can’t risk the pack in the hands of a fragile Luna. One that will stay and not run like my mum did. “You mean someone that will be able to fight alongside you?” “Yeah, a bit of Keila’s affectionate and concerned behavior.” “Amelia looks comfortable here though, have you asked her yet? “Ask her what?” “What she was doing behind that tree that night we were on patrol.” “I have, she refused to say.” Ethan gave a faint smile causing Damien to turn to him strongly. “Do you know why she’s not talking?” “Not so, but you’ve not given her the chance to speak on that and you’ve claimed her.” “If I lose a captive, I lose ten percent of my respect. No one dares to trespass into our pack. That is a rule everyone knows.” Damien said with a firm utterance, like
I never expected my mother to ask me such a question in a hurry, she might have been curious but would want to keep the question for later. I coughed and hinted Ethan to take her inside and watch over her, the others followed.“You didn’t answer me, Damien.”“Just a girl I wanted you to meet.”“Don’t tell me….”“No, no, I’m not sure about that yet, I’m still thinking of what to do with her, since she’s not even having any qualities of being a Luna.” “Of course she does. Bring her to me, let me see her well and touch her.”“Mum, I’m not ready for this. I just wanted to keep an eye on her, that's why I brought her along.”“I’m interested, she’s beautiful.”“Yeah, just the beauty and then she’s not even anything close to being a warrior. You know how I do my things.”“It’s for the best, and the freedom of the people in the pack. The last time everything changed was four years ago, now all we do is plan a war.”“Yes, and that’s why I need to check through her properly before I do anythin
Amelia's POVIt was dark. As dark as my life had been. Everywhere was dead silent, only the creeping sound from frogs and chirping of insects and birds could be heard. I laid on my back, my gaze focused on the ceiling. My body was merely present in the room, but my soul had risen and was in the train of multiple thoughts and questions.My life had always been filled with a lot of unpleasantness, that I forgot the taste of happiness. That word no longer exists in my dictionary, all I have ever felt was pain, sadness and rejection. My heart aches terribly, it is a continuous feeling that my lonely soul has cleaved to.I turned to my right hand side and shut my eyes, trying to ward off the multiple thoughts that kept flooding in. But I couldn't. My existence was something I should always brood on. I grumbled and turned again to my left hand side, shutting my eyes more firmly and trying to summon sleep to my troubled soul. I just need to take a deep breath and relax, forget about everyth
Amelia's POV I laid on the bed gently, trying my best to be at total composure and best behaviour. I cannot afford to annoy Damien's Mum, not when she decided to be nice to me…Much to my surprise I was able to delve slowly into the land of sleep. Her soft snore was therapeutic that I had forgotten half of my trouble and pain. The chatters among the midnight creatures served as a sweet lullaby.How I wish this could last forever…But I was interrupted by sudden giggled that slipped into my ears. I forced my eyes open and to my greatest surprise I was on my feet, in a field of dandelions. A young girl run passed me laughing out loud, a man emerges from only moon knows where and began chasing the little girl making her laughter increase.I recognized the little girl to be me, the happy me that knew no trouble or pain. Finally, the young man; my supposed Father caught me. He took little me into his arms and began tickling me with his fingers making the little me laugh out loud.I studie
Damien’s POVI stuttered, trying to get up from the sleep I was unable to get, for the hours that passed through the night, it was really awful. I should at least get some sleep but couldn’t. The noise out there in the outer compound got into my head and I fastened my steps to get outside. “I should check on Amelia first.” I thought. Changing my direction to her room, I knocked and got no response. “She might be in the bathroom, but it’s just five in the morning” “What? Ethan, were you following me?”“It’s not just you that can't sleep, Alpha. I watched you come out of your room. The boys are ready to leave but you don’t seem ready.”“I’ll come back to that later, let’s find Amelia first.”“She’s not a kid, just resting.” I knocked harder, ignoring Ethan’s words, if Amelia gets out of my grip, anyone behind it will be punished. I’ve brought down my anger and fast judgment all because of my mother. “Open up, Amelia.” I cried behind the locked door, or the door that I thought was lo
Amelia’s PovI stood behind the door, watching every of their moves, Damien looking for me like he lost a treasure and he claims not to want me as his mate. Tch, joker!. I bet I could deal with him, better than his mum could, and just when I was about to show my face to the aggressive being, a figure dressed classically, her hair dripped right behind her back. Her smile, bright and wide and her voice when she spoke,“Can I come along too?” She said, stepping in the house without being invited. “Sapphira?”“I met her at the town square, she was busy being the sapphira that she is.” Alpha Terry, the one who was gone for a while said, “Amelia!” I almost forgot there was a little boy in the house, Nick saw me standing behind the door, yet a bit visible, except Damien couldn’ see me. That I could tell, he searched the house and didn’t notice or think to find me in my room. The little boy ran towards me and hugged me.“I knew you were always this beautiful,” he complimented.“Thank you,
Chapter 15“What do you think you are doing here?” I grabbed her hands and swung her back, “Nothing,just talking to our guests.”“And who told you she was a guest?” “My bad, I’ll just wait outside.” Sapphira has been a bitch, and I don’t know why my mother would want her to come around. To come with us to the pack house. I really feel so disengaged. “Yeah, you should. And if you don’t want to be thrown out, keep a space.” She smiled and turned her face, walked out of the room. I got to Amelia and held her hands, her eyes were as that cold beautiful night, that was the light time I ever uncovered my feelings. “Hey, how are you now?”“I’m fine, thank you.” Her solemn voice echoed deeply in my head like, “I love you, Damien.” but it wasn’t so. I wish she could just show it, I wish she could just play the part of my mate and not some girl I found hiding behind a tree. “We’ll leave soon, can you get up to move?” She nodded and stood up with the help of my muscular arms, I lifted her
