DAMIEN’S POV
For a moment I could have sworn that I had a hearing problem because I couldn’t believe what Elena was telling me. How was she Luka’s luna when she wasn’t even his mate? I was her mate. Was it the power that Lukas offered her that she had gone after? I honestly couldn’t understand how and why she ended up here in this place with Lukas.“What do you mean you are the Luna?” I asked her “how are you his Luna if you are my mate?” I asked.“ He mated himself to me okay,” she said.“ As far as I know, wolves don’t choose their own mate and if it does happen, then you have to be in agreement with him,” I said.“Well, I wasn't and he left me no choice,” she said, but it was like I wasn’t even hearing what she was saying because my brain was working hard to make sense of everything and in the process, I was coming up with my own explanations of what was happening here.“ You always have a choice.ELENA’S POVEven though Damien had seemed like he understood the explanation I gave to him concerning my relationship with Lukas, I was afraid that he didn’t understand it the way I wanted him to. I kept feeling like I hadn’t adequately explained myself. I wished that he could have stayed a little longer but I also knew that if he had stayed longer we would have gotten caught. I understood how he felt and I knew that I would feel the same way if I was him, but I couldn’t just be selfish in the same way that my parents had chosen to be. Tara didn’t deserve that, she was the only one I considered to be innocent in all of this and that was because when I ran away from Lukas she had tried to speak sense into my parents’ heads. She was the one person that was on my side and if I left Lukas she was probably the first person that he was going to kill, I couldn’t betray her like that.After Damien left my room, I decided to take a bath to try to calm myself down
DAMIEN'S POVAll I could think about was the conversation that I had with Elena, I could see that she was genuinely afraid of Lukas, and the fact that she wasn’t sure of what he would do if she ran away seemed to scare her even more. I could understand why she was afraid, the man had already told her that he would kill everyone she loved if she dared to betray him and this was not a risk that she was willing to take. As upset as I was that she was choosing to stay with him and make me her side piece, I also had to kind of put myself in her shoes and try to understand why staying here was so important to her, I may not have agreed with her decision to stay here but I knew I had to understand if I had any hope of having a future with her. I might not have had any memory of my own family but I knew that I wouldn’t be comfortable with making a decision if that decision was going to affect them. I didn't want to be selfish and force her to come with me but at the same time,
ELENA’S POVEven if it was just for a few days, I was so happy that I was finally free of Lukas. The fact that I wouldn’t have him breathing down my neck and knocking on my door for a few days was enough for me to celebrate. I felt like I could finally breathe without fearing what he could be planning, I knew this would be short-lived and that was the reason why I decided that I would enjoy it while it lasted. I wanted it to last me a lifetime but I knew that I had a few more hurdles to jump over before I got my forever.Another thing that made me happy about Lukas not being here was the fact that Damien could visit me and even stay longer with me. I loved spending time with him and I felt like he was one part of me that was uncorrupted. I love the way he looked at me, Lukas may have claimed to love me but he didn’t look at me the way Damien did. I didn’t need the moon goddess to tell me that he genuinely loves me. I loved the way he made me feel whenever
DAMIEN’S POVI decided to walk away from Elena because I felt like what we were doing was wrong and that was very funny because there was nothing wrong with what I was doing. There was nothing wrong with me wanting to spend some time with my mate, there was nothing wrong with me even wanting to be intimate with her. She belonged to me and I to her and nothing that anyone did could change that. As I walked further and further away from her room I stopped and asked myself what the hell I was doing, why was I walking away from my own mate? Why was I feeling like there was something wrong with being intimate with her? If she had been with someone else other than Lukas would I so easily walk away from her? I felt like by walking away I was giving victory to Lukas and indirectly saying that I wasn't man enough. I couldn’t allow Lukas to win, Elena was mine and I had to fight for her and besides, Lukas wasn’t even here to stop me from being with her. I stormed back to her roo
LANA’S POVI had never experienced anything like that, it was as if I was a virgin all over again and I was experiencing making love for the very first time. Of course, this was my first time making long because all along I had been fucked by Lukas and the feelings that came with that couldn’t be compared to what II had just felt after making love to Damien. He had taken his time with me and it was as if he cared about how I felt, he cared if I enjoyed what he was doing to me and he wasn’t just doing it to please himself. It was the first time since I had had my virginity broken that I had been touched like that and made to feel like that.This was a feeling that Lukas could never give to me no matter how hard he tried, and I believed that he knew that. He knew that there was something that he could never give me, a feeling that I could never feel as long as I was with him. This was the reason why he went to such great lengths to make sure that he took me before I
DAMIEN’S POVI woke up feeling very happy, I was happy because not only had I found my mate but I had also been able to spend some proper time with her for the first time since we met. I couldn’t even believe that we were walking around and acting like we were having a forbidden affair. I loved Elena and I couldn’t imagine my life without her now that I had found her, I didn’t remember anything about my life still and I didn’t know if I had any family out there but for now Elena was the only family I had and I had every intention of fighting from her. I knew that Lukas wouldn’t just have her over to me, he was obsessed with her and would probably kill me and her rather than give her over to me.I hadn't seen the ugly side of Lukas that I had heard so many people talk about, I mean I knew that he wasn’t a good alpha but I hadn't seen the ugly side of him and I didn’t want to just yet. I wanted to study him so that I knew how I would approach him when the time to tak
ELENA’S POVSpending the day at the mall with grace was a lot more therapeutic than I had expected it to be. With Lukas gone, it was evident that I wasn’t the only one who was relieved by his absence. I was very happy that he was finally gone and that I no longer had to deal with all the problems that he continually brought into my life. Grace was also a little more relaxed and although she wouldn’t say it out loud I knew that she was also relieved that Lukas was gone. Grace was as afraid of Lukas as everyone else was and that was because she wasn’t excluded from the abuse and the terrorism that he subjected all of us to.After our day at the mall, we headed back to the mansion where I knew that Mike was probably panicking and thinking that I had overpowered Grace and made a run for it. If only he knew that I now had a lot more reasons to stay here than I initially had, I wouldn’t run away even if I wanted to because that would mean that I would have to leave Damie
DAMIEN’S POVEver since I found out that Charles knew about my secret with Elena, I had been on edge because I wasn’t sure if I could trust him and I couldn’t believe that we had been so reckless. Everything about this situation was reckless because we were doing something that could get both of us killed. I didn’t mind dying for Elena, but I realized that she was very afraid of what Lukas was capable of. She had seen him at his worst and seen what he was like when he didn’t get his way. However, I also couldn’t help wondering who else knew about this, since Charles knew and I wasn’t even sure if telling Elena that he knew was a good idea. I was so worried and scared that someone else had picked on this and when I looked around at every omega around me it felt like they were all talking about it. I was suddenly talking around the mansion with the feeling that someone somewhere was watching me and just waiting for Lukas to come back so that they could tell them. The fact that Charles
