Damon's POV
The 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.
Lyla's POVMy eyes slightly opened as I felt a light kiss on my shoulder. Unconsciously, I moaned as it doubled, tripled until I lost count. I turned to face Damon staring at me deeply.I'd slept off in his arms as soon as I stopped crying in the early hours of the morning. I know he might hate me for deciding on going back home but I have to, it is important.I needed clarification about what I saw in my dreams last night. I need answers. Why can't I remember those events even when my dreams were so real? It felt familiar."Hey," I whispered before kissing his cold nose. He laughed and pulled me more into him."Sorry I made you sleep in. I
Lyla's POV Even though my mind went back to the vision I had the other time, I decided to push it at the back of my mind and focus on what's at hand. I'll think about that issue later. "Go sit with that big guy, he's been looking at you since you got in'' She said, pointing to Damon. I smiled at her before walking towards Damon who was at the edge of the table. "Hey," I smiled at him and he gave me this straight face. That look was something I wasn't expecting. I thought we've passed that stage but then, I could've mistaken his actions for something else. As soon as I pulled out a chair and sat on it, Damon held my hand tightly underneath the table. I wanted to let go, I tried removing my hand from his as tears
Hey everyone, I'm deeply sorry for the late update. As I've informed you guys in the previous chapters about school resuming, it really affected my writings in a serious way. I've had several project defense, assignment, class work etc. I just got this little time for myself and decided to use it for this book. I hope you guys understand and give Damon your support. Thank you so much.Lyla's POV"You're really leaving," Damon said with an unreadable expression. I blinked, trying to give him an answer that won't hurt him."Temporarily, I promise I'll be back soon" I reached out to touch his hand but he quickly shifted it away and placed it on the steering wheel.Even though he had once info
Lyla's POV"Good morning, Henry" I smiled as I walked out of my room. Henry was dressed in a grey suit, a suitcase at hand as he pressed his phone."Beautiful morning to you, sunshine" He replied before kissing my forehead. He looked better than yesterday when I'd arrived and I'm glad about the new improvement.After his little meltdown, we had a talk about everything that I'd missed. He made sure to not leave any information out because he felt I needed to know what had happened and all that was going out. We went out to our favorite spot later at night and got back home early.Everything I had wanted to ask him had dissolved into thin air and I knew it just wasn't the right time to ask him anything.
Lyla's POV"What are you doing, Lyla?"I turned to see Henry looking at me intensely while standing at the door. I ignored his question and continued packing up my clothes. I moved to the wardrobe and brought out a new suitcase for my sneakers, heels, and sandals."I asked you a question, Lyla?" He yelled, making me stop in my tracks."I'm leaving Henry. I can't stay here. I need to go" I answered.He yanked me away from the wardrobe angrily and made me sit on the bed."Leave for where, Lyla?" He asked, his eyes blazing with anger."Back to where I was before. The
Damon's POVOne after the other, about twenty-four Alphas all walked into the room, a huge file at hand, ready to proceed with stoning me to death for crimes that I see as nothing.Responsibility was the major reason why I found myself here today and if not for my new loyalty to the pack, I would've ignored their summons as usual but now I have to think of my pack before making any rational decision."I'm surprised you all are this much. I thought they were supposed to be just seven" I said, directing my view of the situation to Tunde who was grinning as he looked over at the elders.He was sitting in front of the little crowd that had gathered to witness my shame while I stood in a box, one that signified, a c
Lyla's POV"Thank you for coming all the way here, Dean. You too, Devante, even though you weren't needed"I acknowledge, funnily dissing Devante as I loaded my bags to the back of the car."You're my brother's mate so I'm supposed to be here even if you don't want me to"He replied, giving me his popular flower boy smile."Anything for you Luna, let's go, Devante" Dean opened the door for me and I quickly entered into the passenger's side beside the driver's seat.I'd made contact with Dean a few days after I tried getting through to Damon and Tunde to no avail. The two weren't responding to my messages
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
