Lyla's POV
The night breeze kissed my skin as I walked out to the balcony. I looked around and saw a small, beautiful chair at the corner right in front of another. I checked it out for any form of danger and sat, placed my hand on the balustrade and rested my head on it.
Damon's POVThe arena was occupied with more people than I imagined. I thought this was going to be something private. I never expected the news to have spread so fast to almost everyone that lived in the pack.As I was standing in the middle of the arena waiting, I turned to look around me and saw the faces of the people, both young and old wolves, ready to watch a disgraceful fight of a father and his son.It was a fight for my father to prove one more time that he was in control of who I am but this time, I won't sit back to watch him do what he wants because if I did, I'll be losing Lyla and I can't afford for that to happen.A neighboring pack's Beta was standin
Damon's POV"D," A tiny voice called out to me, forcing me to open my eyes. In front of me was a girl as tiny as her voice, she was wearing a floral print dress, her hair bouncing around her as she took off like a kite, running around a garden of flowers and laughing.Suddenly she stopped laughing and brought out a flower from behind her, stretched it out to me. I collected the flower from her and smiled back at her for more than seconds."Stop smiling, Damon. You're freaking us out"I opened my eyes at the sudden interruption. Even though my vision was blurry at first, it, later on, became clear as I saw Tunde and the pack's doctor looking at me worriedly.
Lyla's POVThree days had passed since I last set my eyes on Damon. I don't know where he disappeared to but the fact remains that I've been in this mansion for three days and for those three days, things have been moved, almost everything around here."Do you know where I can find Damon?" I asked Ruth for the tenth time.This sudden attraction that I'm feeling towards Damon is questionable. He had misunderstood me after I asked him about what happened at the arena and I wish to explain myself.I'd put myself between him and Lucas after he attacked Lucas when he threw a huge log at his head to stop him from killing his father. He only pushed me away from the center of danger and I was grateful
Lyla's POV"Do you Alpha Damon take this oath of allegiance this day before the goddess to become the leader of this pack?"Damon was silent for more than seconds looking around the crowd of people that had gathered outside the packhouse to attend this 'inauguration'.I had planned on not attending but my curiosity got the best of me. So, I stood up from the bed, walked out of the room wearing one of Damon's long white shirts and a short to get mixed up in the crowd.The moment I walked in, I sighted Damon at the front, he was standing on a podium in front of an older man and Tunde was right behind him. Our eyes met immediately and I quickly retreated to hide behind someone.
Lyla's POVThe elevator door suddenly opened, making a noise as it did. That sent the both of us in two different directions. I blushed seriously from the amazing kiss we just shared.We both walked out of the elevator not saying a word to each other. By the time we got into his room, he suddenly removed his shirt."What are…..?" I squealed as he picked me up swiftly as if I weighed zero kilograms. He dropped his lips of mine, making me swallow my words instantly as I kissed him back with so much haste and passion.I wrapped my legs around him and his hand was busy squeezing my ass. I pulled at his hair once his tongue touched mine. I couldn't explain the feeling, it was magical.
Damon's POV"Shit! Shit!!" I cursed out repeatedly as I felt Lyla's limp body cold and pale in my arms. I didn't mean to mark her without her consent but the moment she bared her neck to me, my wolf took over.It mistook her action for her submission and marked her without thinking twice."Lyla," I held her face close, calling out to her as I've been doing. I put the shirt on her, covering up her nakedness before anyone gets here."What the hell happened, Alpha?" Tunde barged into the room with Ashley and Dean right behind him. I'd mind linked him immediately it happened and also instructed him to come along with Dean
Damon's POVThe next thing we heard was the creaking of the wooden door. Raul opened the door wide enough for the two of us to enter while he himself slowly appeared in front of us."We won't be going in," I announced, stopping Tunde in his tracks. He turned to look at me questionably."It's cold outside, Damon. My house might not be presentable enough but it's still warm" Raul answered."It's not my business, Raul. I'll rather freeze to death than stay in the same space as you. Moreover, werewolves don't freeze" I corrected.I scrutinized him and pity was the only feeling I could get out of my cold heart. He looked so pitiful it satisfied my anger towa
Damon's POV"Devante!" I yelled before landing my hard fist on his pretty face. He cursed out as his body hit the floor in a heavy thud."What the fuck?" He groaned, checking out his busted lip."What the fuck?! You can curse at me right now, Devante, what is wrong with you? What the hell is all this?"I wasn't really in the mood to address the crowd of werewolves that were already gathered, watching my brother make a damn fool out of himself.Devante grew up being spoiled, he just wasn't the right person I'll choose for a brother if I had a choice but sometimes, we don't always get what we want from life.
Chapter 50Damon's POVTunde was buried six days after his death. We'd managed to erect the Uraniums at the right places and used the stones to make the pack invisible for outsiders and impenetrable for the intruders.A secret passage was also developed to allow for an emergency exit from the pack and it was done in such a way that it was only one person who knew of its whereabout.Our pack has lost a large number of lives and they were all buried a day before Tunde was buried. We thought he deserved much more respect and because of this, his burial should be done separately as a sign of honor for him.I watched as the pr
Lyla's POVThe black wolf that saved me earlier was already standing beside me at the door leading into the safehouse. At some point, it'll stare at me and I'll be forced to look away.A knock came from inside the house and I quickly opened it to reveal Blue."Go back inside Blue," I yelled at him."I'll go, Ashley said I should tell you to be careful and that I should also tell you that wolf is Devante"My eyes almost went out of its socket with surprise. I chased Blue back inside and locked the door quickly.The silence was eerie, we haven't heard anything or anyone including the vampires for a
Lyla's POV"Hey Ashley, have you seen Devante around here?"Few minutes after Damon left, I decided to do something that I thought of. I went in search of Devante first and when I didn't see him, I searched for Ashley.I found her sitting with Blue under one of those trees, happily reading a book to him."Nope, I haven't seen him all morning. Have you checked his room?" She asked."No,""Trust me, he's busy with whatever he knows how to do best" She rolled her eyes."We can't be too sure about that. Shall we check up on him?"
Damon's POVTwo days have passed and the pack has experienced another deadly attack at the borders, even though we were smart enough to fight those vampires and wolves off, the attack still left some of our men wounded. The vampires were just seven in numbers while the wolves were two.We already made an arrangement about how to get the uranium at my Uncle's house a few kilometers away from the pack. I decided to go with Tunde and Beta Moon but the others refused, saying it was too dangerous to make such a decision.Both the Alpha and the Beta couldn't leave the pack vulnerable just like that without any protection. I would've suggested Dean should stay here but Dean's duty to the hospital is much bigger than something he could leave behind.
Damon's POV"Good morning Bunny" I kissed Lyla's lips even though she was sleeping and whispered into her ear.She stirred in her sleep before opening her eyes slightly and smiled at me. I knew she was cold from the way she wrapped herself in the thick blanket immediately I stood up from the bed to take a shower."Come back to bed!" She whined, missing my body heat. I was sitting right beside her as she lay down on the bed."Not now baby. I have a meeting that I need to attend, I'll be back soon" I caressed her hair."So early?" She asked, pouting."Yeah. We need to move fast before things get ba
Damon's POVThe night air was cold, the lack of humidity had drained all senses of comfort that one could find in the night, or maybe it was because I'd been sitting outside here for more than two hours waiting for Lyla and the old woman to be done with whatever they were talking about."I said it! I said it!!" Ashley yelled as she and her brother, Tunde, walked towards me.I was sitting on a small mountain located closer to the hospital."Why are you excited about that?" Tunde asked his sister."I already confirmed my suspicion to her about what she was but she found it difficult to believe me. I can finally say now that I wa
Damon's POV"No way," I growled, as anger surged through my veins. As they moved closer to the borders, I almost drowned in the pit of anger and pain."My God!" Tunde gasped behind me. "What the hell happened to them?" He asked.It was evening already, as darkness has slightly covered the earth. We were at the borders awaiting the arrival of the Silverline pack. The Silverline Packs were damaged beyond repair, they were only about fifteen or seventeen in numbers and most of them were wounded while some appeared as if life had departed from them.A part that was normally supposed to be about seven hundred wolves was now left to just seventeen helpless wolves. Silverline is one of the old
Damon's POV*Alpha, we need you at the perimeter* Tunde informed me through the mindlink. I was at the border's office with Dean, trying to plan out our next move and what we could use to reinforce our boundaries and not make us penetrable by these attackers.*What's going on?**Something urgent needs your permission"Dean stood up abruptly from his seat almost at the same time that I did. Someone must have mindlinked him as well."A wolf was sighted at the borders" He informed me."A rogue?""No, a regular wolf. A Beta to be precise" He replied and I frowned.A pack's beta just couldn't come to my borders without a prior notice or information. It was almost impossible.As fast as we could move, we reached the borders and we met our warriors in a defensive stance.The wolf had already shifted to a human
Lyla's POV"Good morning to you, Ruth," I greeted as I happily walked into the kitchen."Good morning to you sunshine. Someone looks beautiful and radiant this morning" She replied, smiling at me."Stop teasing me, Ruth" I begged jokingly."I'm serious sunshine. You're beautiful"She gave me a side hug before focusing back on what she was cooking."Is there anything I can help you with?""Yes Luna. Draw out that chair and sit prettily on it" She replied and I rolled my eyes at her word even though I ended up doing as she had instructed."How's your friend? I
