Dahlia's POV Continued

I walked around the room a bit after Lottie left me alone in here. Running my fingers along the books as I admired them. He had quite the collection of classics, as well as some steamy stuff as well.

I had heard the rumors he had a mate, but she had passed away, I wondered if maybe those were her books. I didn't think an Alpha would be interested in reading such things.

I stopped at the door that was supposed to lead to his bedroom. Sliding my hand along the door as it settled on the small doorknob. I felt my heart fluttering in my chest as I became overly nervous.

Shaking my head I pulled my hand back, wondering why my body seems to react to him in this way. Maybe because of everything I just had been through. I have heard that women tend to have transgressions with another male after a rejection or a loss, as a way of numbing the pain they are experiencing.

Could that be what it is? Am I seeking some type of comfort, even if it is from the one man that I sho

    Damien's POV I closed the door, leaning against the wall as I took short deep breaths trying to collect myself.Between her scent, then seeing her like that, the way her legs stood there on display. Following up to the way those garters sat there against her soft looking skin. Trailing up to see her small white satin panties, the way they barely covered her, yet did manage to cover her just enough so it left a bit to my imagination.Her soft looking skin, I wanted to dig my fingers into as I held her body flush against mine. Wrapping my hands around her small waist. How is this small stature of a female a damn Alpha?I can sense her though, I know she is one, her scent so strong, the aura she gives off without her wolf even being up front and present. She's an Alpha without a doubt.As my eyes continued to follow her body I landed on her breasts, they were bigger now without that damn corset digging into her, hiding the actual size of her. Her waist was still small but those perfect

    Alpha Damien's POV Continued "Let me know the instant you hear anything, anything at all."Thinking about it, my men will be caught, they hold a scent no matter how hard they will attempt to mask it."Actually, Alexi, call them back, I'm going out there."His eyes went wide as I stood up before starting to walk back from around my desk."You can't be serious! You can't go over that way, what if they...""They what!? They won't catch my scent but they could catch theirs. I do not want my men at risk of the likes of the Knight's when they don't have to be.I'm headed out now so call them back this minute Beta."I saw him flinch back a bit but I didn't have the time to worry about his feelings, or about how on edge Mikko was when I knew the shift would help put him at ease.As I left the packhouse, I looked up to where her window sat without thinking. Staring up there I felt a flutter before shoving it back down, turning, then heading into the woods.Once I shifted I started running thr

  • Fated to the Enemy   16 Worried

    Dahlia's POV When he left the room my body was vibrating. His closeness made it hard for me to breathe, but I was unsure if it was out of fear or arousal.I had felt Alanah starting to stir once again, but she wasn't answering me still. Disappointment set in but in a flash it was gone knowing that just feeling her right now was enough for me.I can still feel the pain in my heart, something she took the biggest hit from, so I can only imagine what pain she is coping with right now.I tried to tell her reassuring words, anything that may help her heal from her heartbreak. Knowing I lost Christopher was hard, but she lost her mate as well. I wonder if he is okay? Maybe he fully regrets what has happened. I just can't get over the fact that he has been continuously sleeping with others while sleeping with me.I gave myself to him. I was so proud to find out we were mated. I knew that it would also calm my father's worried heart to have me be the Betas mate.His fear of me coming for th

  • Fated to the Enemy   17 Scents

    Dahlia's POV Continued My heart raced in my chest, pounding deeply as I heard the blood rushing into my ears.Now that Alanah was present again, even if she wasn't at full strength yet, she held back the pain from me, just as she has done since I was fourteen. Scents were hitting into me harshly.Not knowing anyone besides the Alphas, who was stronger than ever now, I didn't recognize the scent behind the door.I stood there, frozen in my spot as it truly became a reality to me that I was no longer home, that I was in enemy territory within the walls of the Alpha my father hated more than any other. Which is saying a lot, because he seems to despise most others that were high ranked.God complex, that's what he has. He thinks he's some descendant of Fenrir or some shit with the way he acts all high and mighty at all times. Not that he is related to Fenrir, he just seems to think he is above everyone. I honestly wonder if his issue with me going after the Alpha title was because of m

  • Fated to the Enemy   18 His wolf

    Dahlia's POV Continued Sitting by the fire, the warmth of it licked my face as I watched the flames dancing while I ate the dinner that had been given to me. The stew warmed me on the inside with every small bite I managed to take. Savoring each bite wondering if these were the types of meals I could be hoping for every day, or if this is the last full hearty meal I will be allowed to lure me into a false sense of security.Alanah is sceptical but she also wants me to go and stand at his door to inhale his scent further. It seems to be putting her in a bit of a frenzy. As the time progresses, the stronger she gets, especially now that we are eating something with substance, the stronger his scent keeps developing.I honestly have trouble differentiating whether my mouth is watering from his strong scent, or if it's from the food.When I finished the stew, as well as the piece of bread I used to sop up the rest, I placed the tray over onto the table sitting between the chairs.I had

    Dahlia's POV Continued Everything about this moment felt intimate, more intimate than anything I had ever experienced before. The way his touch was so gentle, or how it felt to have his touch on my skin. I couldn't understand the pull I was feeling as Alanah seemed to become completely complacent in the moment, almost as if she would allow him to do anything he pleases to us without any kind of fight at all.I sat there, perfectly still, trapped within the moment, within the feel of him that I hadn't even noticed that the pain I had been feeling had completely vanished all together.He slowly stood up, his eyes glowing brightly as they stayed locked on mine so I was looking up at him. He outstretched his hand to me, my hand responding to him, reaching out to hold his hand before I could even think about what was actually happening.He helped me stand, then led me to my bed where he turned me to face him with my back to the bed. His hands wrapped around my waist with ease as he lifted

    Alpha Damien's POV After the insanely strange day I had I decided to go to bed when I saw Lottie standing at the door that now led to where Dahlia was staying.She turned her head when she scented me, bowing slightly before raising her head again."Is this the first time you are bringing her food?"I asked, almost agitated when she instantly shook her head no."No, no Alpha. I brought her food up a bit ago, but she seemed to be rather hungry so I just wanted to bring her something else in case she was wanting anything else after the stew but she isn't answering Alpha."I listened carefully, only to hear her breathing evenly, she was indeed sleeping."Do not worry yourself Lottie, I will bring it inside to her. You head out for the evening, you have done more than enough for today. Goodnight Lottie."She smiled as she handed the tray to me before baring her neck then heading down the stairs and out of my sight and earshot.Opening the door slowly I looked at the bed only to find it em

  • Fated to the Enemy   21 Waking

    Alpha Damien's POV Continued I shifted gently, trying to pull my arm out from beneath her when she rolled her body over. Her face now in front of mine as a small smile formed before disappearing.She made a small noise before I watched her eyes starting to move around beneath her eyelids. I knew she was about to wake up, would she freak out when she opened her eyes to find me here?As her eyes fluttered open, she blinked up at me for a second before I could see the change in her eyes. She went from peaceful to fearful so fast that I could physically feel the bit of recoil as she went to back away from me.When she moved back, hesitantly at that, she made it so I had my arm back. The moment I realized I instantly raised my hands defensively."I won't hurt you, please, I didn't mean to, I don't know when or how...""Please stop, it's okay. I was awake when you got into the bed, I knew you were sleeping."She said to me in a very low tone, basically a whisper as she lowered her eyes so

    Months later Alpha Damien’s POV Waking up to feel her soft breath fanning gently across my chest made my heart flutter. No matter how much time passes with her by my side I still feel like it’s the first day again. That moment when I scented her in the woods changed my entire world. She sees now how truly strong and beautiful she is. It warms my heart to feel her continuous outpouring of love she exudes daily. My mind body and soul truly feel at peace now that we have fought our way to live peacefully within our pack and her previous one that Levi, her brother, runs with love like we do. As she shifted her body slightly I felt a wave of movement roll across my back making me jump slightly as I turned to look down at her. Her eyes slowly opened, her eyelashes skimming so softly across me before she graced me with her smile. “Did they wake you again?” She asked with a gravely tone to her sweet voice. I couldn’t help but smile as I reached down to caress her bell

    Dahlia’s POV Continued Over the next few weeks I watched my brother come back and forth to see Rose. They began dating but today is the first day that she will be traveling with Levi back to my old pack. I stayed with her last night to help her get ready but we ended up not even getting any sleep because her nervousness was so strong she fidgeted the entire evening. “Please Rose, just try to sit down. I told you that everything was going to be alright.” “What if everyone there hates me?! I’m not a Luna like you, I have no idea how to be what you are to a pack. Let alone a pack of that size! I’m completely out of my depth here Dahls!” Her pitch raised so high as she said the nickname my brother used for me it made me wince slightly before I stood in front of her grabbing her shoulders. “The pack is going to love you Rose. You are compassionate, caring, loving, and you never judge anyone. Look at us. What you did when I came here was something I don’t even know if I

    Dahlia's POV Continued Once I left my brother alone with Rose I walked through the hall leading to the stairs before stopping. Everything has changed so much for me in what feels like a blink of an eye. I looked up the next set of stairs to where my room sat before turning to look down the other set of stairs where the front doors sat leading outside and into the woods where Damien found me. Little pieces of memories flashed through my mind of that day. The way I felt lost and scared honestly. How I managed to escape my wedding just to venture too far out of my own territory and into that, if what I believed at the time to be enemy territory. I'll never forget the way his eyes darkened when he looked down at me. Or how I swore I should fear him yet instead was intrigued by the man looming so dangerously over me. It's crazy to me to think about the fact that he knew I was meant to be his yet I didn't. How it could have felt to stand in front of your second chance mate only for

    Dahlia's POV Continued "Oh my sweet Rose, he had to. He didn't leave you. He needed to bring back the warriors from his pack. He's Alpha now and has no choice." I held her out from me so she would hopefully look at me, which she shakily did. "He was absolutely torn apart having to leave here. He didn't want to until you had time and chose to see or speak with him. He is broken right now." She sniffed then wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt. Her eyes swirled making it so I could finally see a bit of her wolf sitting there. "Broken?" I sighed, my head tilting to the side as I nodded with a small tip of my lips. I actually felt a bit relieved by the way she was acting. She was scared about this entire situation, but I can see she wants him still. She's curious about him and now I can see that her wolf is as well. They haven't shut put the idea of him. I don't want her to live in fear, but my brother would never hurt her. The thought of him getting rejected b

    Dahlia's POV "So you have decided to take Nico as what then Levi?" "As my new Delta. Honestly, I have no idea who to choose for my Beta. You are the only person I have ever trusted to that level before. Everything was planned out for such a long time that I have no idea where to truly go from here now." I wrapped my arms around my brother, hugging him tightly before we pulled away again. "Have you tried to.." "I spoke with her, Levi." The previous day I went in search of Rose. Of course I could have just mindlinked her that I wanted to see her, but I chose not to. I needed to walk around a bit after Damien kept me within the confines of our room for 48 hours. I was feeling a bit stir crazy and so was Alanah. She had been pacing continuously for hours on end feeling trapped. Instead we ventured out, walking around the pack house in search of my best friend. When I did find her, which wasn't exactly hard for me to do, she was out in the small garden she had shown

    Levi's POV By the time I made it back home I was a complete wreck. My wolf wasn't speaking to me despite the fact that it wasn't my fault our mate ran away from us and locked herself in her room. Honestly he was upset that I had the audacity to leave pack grounds without trying to see her again. I understood. I felt the pang through my chest within every single heartbeat I managed to pump. My heart shattered when she looked at me with those big beautiful wide eyes. That recognition wasn't what I had wanted. However, knowing more about who she is thanks to Alexi, I understood why she ran off, even if I didn't want to accept it. The bitter feeling of rejection lingered throughout my body, but she needed time. She hadn't outright rejected me so I held on to a bit of hope. Being back in this house feels surreal though. My mother's body had been burned and now sat on the mantel inside the office that used to hold my father. It was a blatant disrespect for him to do su

    Dahlia's POV Continued I am unsure when I fell back to sleep but waking alone on a tattered bed was a bit depressing. I felt for Damien but even his scent was a bit weak meaning he had been gone for a bit by now. As I forced my eyes to open I was blinded by the sunlight seeping through the window. Squinting away I rolled to my side only to wince slightly from where the stitches were still woven through my tattered skin. Forcing myself into a sitting position I brought my legs over the side of the bed before my feet touched the ground. Unlike my dream of the past, the floor held a warmth to it. Stretching out my toes I slowly stood myself up. Sore from whatever position I managed to sleep in I stretched out my back only to hear a loud popping sound that made me sigh out in relief. Trudging myself into the bathroom, not bothering to turn the light on just yet, I relieved my aching bladder before standing in front of the sink to look up into the mirror. My hair was atro

    Dahlia's POV The moment his lips touched mine a fire ignited deep within my soul. Like everything made sense again in my life. The feel of his rough calloused fingers lightly trailing down my naked back sent a shiver run along my spine. His hands gripped my ass as he hauled me up into his arms, my legs wrapping around his large body. I felt small in his arms. Like he could shield me from the world if he chose to do so. I was safe, protected, wanted, loved. All the things I have truly ever wanted to have or feel my entire existence. He didn't kiss me hard, nor did he hold me tightly. I could feel the worry slipping through the connection we shared at the weakened state I was still in. He was gentle as he carried me across the room to the shredded bed. The bed I managed to destroy all because of stupid dreams of a past I will never have to go back to again. I was truly and unequivocally free for the first time ever. He was gone. The man that did everything in his power

    Alpha Damien's POV Continued She sat there, her eyes filled with unshed tears as she stared at me. My body went to shift, I wanted to pull her into me and hug her tightly when her eyes fell from mine to the bed below her. The way her eyes widened as she took in the state of our bed when Levi spoke from behind me. "Could be worse considering how gigantic Alanah is. The bed can be replaced, okay Dahl's, get out of your head." I was about to yell at him for the way he spoke so casually, almost mean, to her until a small huff of a laugh left her pink full lips. Tilting my head I watched as the corner of her mouth tipped up before she looked back up. Her eyes went to mine before shifting back over my shoulder where Levi stood. "Guess it could have been the whole room, or one of you." Her voice was a whisper. When she attempted to clear her throat she winced so I stood, going to the side table to grab her some water. Holding it out to her, her eyes locked onto mine and I cou
