MORGANA’S POVThe next morning, Damon is still in bed. I woke up way early before him but he hasn’t moved an inch. He’s not sleeping or anything. He’s just there, numb and silent. His defeat must have taken a toll on him.After washing up and eating breakfast, I make myself look cuter as I walk toward him. I gently take a seat beside him in bed and exhale softly.“You can’t stay in bed forever.” I state looking down at him as I cock my head.“I’m just thinking.” He lifts himself up from bed, and swinging his legs away from the bed so he’s seated next to me. I’m caught by surprise by his shirtless torso. I’ve seen the Alpha with no shirt before but I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to his body as much as I am now.He’s literally perfect. His body is like that of a warrior except, it has no scratches. His skin looks strong and his abs are a barrier. I’m sure he wouldn’t feel a thing if I punched him a hundred times. I wish I could be as strong as him. But unfortunately, I'm not a w
DAMON’S POVSomething is different about Morgana. She seems too calm. She said she was willing to put peace on the table, and after what I did to her, it’s difficult to believe how much she has changed towards me. My mind tells me to be weary of her but my heart tells me something else.When I got back yesterday from my encounter with the vampire lord, all I wanted to do was see her. I needed to look into her eyes and hear her voice and just be in her presence.I wanted to do so much because I realized that I could have died yesterday. The vampire lord was stronger than I was, and at a certain moment, I felt scared. It felt like he could have killed me then and there if I didn’t escape in time.I realized yesterday that I have so many feelings toward Morgana that have been left unsaid. I know she doesn’t feel the same way and she probably never will, but I have to air my heart and my thoughts. I have to tell her how I feel.If I die during this war, I don’t want to die and regret in m
DAMON’S POVAs soon as Chloe and Warren leave Morgana and I in the garden alone, tension fills the air and I wonder if Morgana can feel it too. I wonder if she can read my emotions and already have an idea of what I might want to tell her. I’m making it pretty obvious from the way I’m staring at her.I can’t believe I didn’t notice it before. The way her eyes lit up in the sun, how long and silky her hair was. The way small things like flowers could make her happy no matter what she has been through.I can’t believe I was so cruel towards her, towards all the humans. She’s right when she says I’m a monster. I wish I could turn back time. I wish I would have made the right decisions. All those lives lost, families destroyed, it’s all my fault.I’m not surprised Morgana can’t forgive me cause even I can’t forgive myself. I just have to say this to her, I have to tell her how I feel before it’s too late.“What did you want to talk about? Why did you send Chloe and Warren away?” Her voice
MORGANA’S POVI wasn’t able to sleep at all last night. Damon’s words haunted me like a nightmare. I couldn’t stop thinking about that look on his face. The way his eyes invaded my emotions. I hated it. I hated everything he was telling me because I don’t like how it made me feel.I left his room this morning immediately after I woke up from bed and some guards led Chloe and I to Warren’s room. They kept him in the underground, where no one would ever find him. They must have wanted to keep him a secret.Damon proposed to give Warren somewhere else to stay but he refused. He said moving all his instruments might cause someone to break something.Warren has been mixing up some chemicals all morning and Chloe and I have been helping him in any way we can.“Okay Morgana. Are you going to tell us what’s wrong or do I have to force it out of you?” Chloe asks as she drops some test tubes and looks toward me with a hand on her hip.“What are you talking about?” I ask as I ignore her. I don’t
MORGANA’S POV“So, he said yes?” Chloe asks jumping up and down. Both of us are in the Beta’s room now. She’s been so happy staying in his room all alone now that he isn’t here. Damon says as soon as Colton gets back, he’ll find another place for her to stay and I was glad because the last place Chloe or anyone has to be is around that monster.“Of course, he said yes. He’s in love with me remember?” I say jokingly making Chloe chuckle.“You know this is a good thing. If he loves you then it’ll be easier to manipulate him into getting what we want.” Chloe comments and my face falls into a frown.“Hey, what’s wrong?” She asks scanning my face.“I don’t know honestly. It’s just all weird, leading him on. I know it’s what should be done, but you know that part of your conscience that judges you? Ever since he told me he loves me, I can’t help but feel like I’m doing something wrong. I know it sounds dumb.” I try to explain myself but I feel like my words come out as gibberish.Chloe cock
MORGANA’S POVStanding in front of Damon hasn’t felt weird in a long time but now, his presence has started to suffocate me again. Not in the way that it used to though. Now it feels like a longing, longing for what exactly, I don’t really know. I keep telling myself to focus, but Chloe’s words keep resonating in my head.Damon and I stand in the center of the training room, our eyes fixed on each other. I asked him to train me, to help me become stronger. If only he knew it is this very strength that would be his end, well according to the witches. I can’t help but feel a surge of passion, desire and hate for him. I need to put my emotions in check.Damon watches me closely, his eyes scanning my body as I shift nervously from foot to foot. I know he can sense the tension in the air between us and he knew that he had to tread carefully.“Are you ready?” He asks, his voice low and husky. I nod simply, my heart racing in my chest. I had never felt this way around him before, so alive an
DAMON’S POV“I want to help you fight.” Morgana states simply and I raise my brows at her curiously. I’m confused right now. I don’t know why she was crying a few seconds ago and that’s all I want to know. Morgana has never hugged me before. I was surprised when she wrapped her hands around my waist and cried into my chest. She felt so small in my arms and in that moment, all I wanted to do was protect her. “Why were you crying Morgana?” I ask her as she walks towards my bed. I love how far we’ve come from the first time we met. She’s more comfortable and she’s more herself.“Warren told me he loves me and I realized that apparently, I have feelings for you. No big deal but that’s not what I want to talk about right now so drop it.” She says as she takes a seat on my bed. I walk towards her not believing her words but before I speak, she raises her hands stopping me from talking. “I’m serious Damon, I don’t want to talk about it.” She states definitively and I nod my head at her. I
DAMON’S POV “It didn’t work.” Warren says, his voice barely above a whisper. “She’s dead.” “Try again. Maybe the dose wasn’t enough.” I say calmly grabbing the serum Warren just made and practically shove it down Morgana’s throat. This can’t be happening. I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive myself if she dies. I had so much planned for her. I was going to make the world better for her. She gave me a reason to be better, to fight. She just can’t die like this. “Morgana, please wake up.” I say breathlessly. Warren stands frozen beside her unresponsive body and Chloe cries uncontrollably. I grab Morgana’s shoulders and shake her aggressively. I want her to wake up, I need her to wake up. “Please, I love you.” I whisper and right on cue, I hear the sound of her heart beating again. There is an energy emanating off her and I glance at her neck and notice that her wound is healing. It heals completely, showing no hint that there was ever a wound there. In a quick second, she jerks her bo
