DAMIEN'S POV I sigh on seeing that she was shaking, trembling from what just occurred. She thinks someone may have heard us and had run off before I found out who, but I felt she was just overthinking everything. "Calm down Amaira." She shot me an angry look and even though this was a serious situation, I found her expression really cute. "Who knows who could have heard the dirty things you just told me. I'm dead if it was any of the Luna candidates."Why was she over reacting. Anyone deserved to know after all. Everyone should know. Wasn't she my mate? Shouldn't we be fucking?I just kept my mouth shut thoughI try to hold her, but she leaves for Audrey's room. I want to follow her but then I remember that I wasn't supposed to. She had asked me to change my shirt and I didn't want to complicate her further by going into the room with her and not listening so I just head to my room without word, hoping she'd be able to save Audrey. Not that it was any of my business, but Audrey's
"You'll head back to your room and rest. You were also in the hunter's hostage as well... You're hurt and you need your rest to regain strength.""But... she's my mistress. I have to be by her side." I give her a look and she keeps shut. I couldn't risk taking her out when I was sure Jason was somewhere out there waiting to strike. "Amanda," I turn to her and she gives me the side eyes. "Order the maids to take Audrey in my car. I'll be outside in five." With that, I dropped my keys in Amanda's hand before taking Amaira's and pulling her away. When we get to a room, I try to push the door open, but she wrings her hand out mine and steps two feet away from me. "This isn't my former room... If you're not going to let me go with Audrey like I want, at least let me stay in my room in peace."I suppose she thinks this is my room."This is my Betas room. You're going to be staying here till I get back.""Wait. What?"I knock on the door, leaving no room for protest as she glares hard at
DAMIEN'S P.O.V We head into the car and after turning on the ignition, I drive off. On the way, we made small talk, and she gets into telling me how she discovered her love for baking after high school and all that, and I delve into my story of how I wanted to start a musical band in middle school but didn't know how to play a single instrument. It was quite a funny past, and it got us laughing, but when we arrive at the hospital, we turned serious. As I get down to call in a nurse, Amanda takes the keys and takes her position in the driver's seat to go park the car in the driveway. By the time she had parked the car and opened the back door where Audrey lay, I had returned with nurses rolling in a stretcher. They carried her on it and roll off with it with I and Amanda following from behind. Several minutes later, we were standing in the lobby while waiting for the results of her X-ray scan. Soon, a doctor steps into the lobby. "Alpha Damien..." I turn to him, and on se
AMAIRA'S POV"Please save Audrey" I say in a broken voice and he promised me he would even if it was the last thing he did. After Raiden takes back his phone, there is grave silence as I softly bawl my eyes out while Vanessa stretched an awkward arm around my shoulders to cheer me up a bit "Don't overthink it, okay? If Damien says he's going to find her, then he's just going to do just that...""But why would Audrey do this... She knows the state she's in and yet she's just so stubborn to sit still and listen.." more tears roll down my cheeks as I tried to assure myself that Damien would find her and keep her safe and wouldn't let harm come to her. "How did you know a human got her pregnant... And why didn't you say this earlier?" Raiden asked, interested. He knew maids who would want to sabotage their mistresses in every little way possible and Amaira had the chance during this time to expose Audrey's pregnancy, but she did not and hid the truth from everyone even. "She wanted m
Audrey's breath turned ragged as she finally approached the house, panting, trying to catch her breathe with her hands on her knees. After some seconds, she walked towards the house, eyes squinting when she realized that the house was empty and dark so it meant he was yet to return from late night college classes. She knew every nook and cranny of his house, so she didn't need a Shaman to tell her that he kept his spare key In his mail box. After grabbing the keys, she unlocked the door and let herself in, locking the door behind her to ensure that he didn't know she had come in. She sauntered across the living room before heading to the kitchen, turning on the switch, blanketing the kitchen in a flood of light which stung her eyes slightly since she had been running in the dark for a while. Everything had just been black to her though. Right from when she started feeling weak and nauseous to when she had pleaded with the maids to remove the child who had died in her womb, to whe
"Don't you love me?" Audrey suddenly asked as she slowly approached him in short brisk steps, her hands fisted by her side, her eyes narrowed, holding back the tears welling up in them. "I... I do. I do love you Audrey." Josh stepped back in staggering, shaky steps as she approached him. Audrey grabbed the wine glass and threw it at him, but he narrowly missed it by a hair's breath as it smashed onto the wall behind him. "Don't you fucking lie to me you bastard!!!" There were tears in her eyes. "Don't you lie to me Josh. Do you love me? Do you even like me? Have you ever had feelings for me?"This time he doesn't reply and just stared at her with a guilty expression. With pain in her eyes, she smiled and nodded her head like the realization had hit her. Josh used that chance to trail his eyes over her, wondering why she was in a hospital gown and in his house in the middle of the night. Suddenly he scanned her stomach area, and when Audrey realized where his eyes were, she smiled
Audrey's eyes flew open as she listened to the sounds of footsteps in the room. The room was dark, but it only took her a few seconds for her eyes to adjust in the darkness so she could make out who was walking towards her. "Josh?" The lights were suddenly flickered on, and the room was blanketed in a flood of lights, causing her to blink her eyes severally before she sat up, holding a hand to her face. "I didn't mean to wake you up, but since you are, I made some tea... " Saying this he sat down on the space beside her on the bed before handing her the cup of tea which she took with a small appreciative smile, all the while holding the blankets up to her chest to shield her nude body. There was awkward silence as she drank the tea while he just sat there. "You look like you want to say something." Audrey pointed out. "Yes... I actually do. How did you know?" He turned to her with a confused expression. "I've known you since middle. I literally know your next moves by just the l
AMAIRA'S POVI could see the bright lights of a car up ahead rushing towards our truck, quite different from the one which had been by our side ever since, trying to knock us over. "Stoooop!!!" I screamed to the truck driver and he cursed as he reflexively hit the brakes and we almost flew out the car as it screeched to a halt, if not for the seatbelts buckled in as the car came to a quick abrupt stop too."What the hell.." the man suddenly raised his head to see that the car beside us and the one which was coming towards us with a speed that shocked me had parked right In front of us, and men had begun filing out the first car. I was just sitting there, too stunned to move. I couldn't recognize them, but I had a bad feeling about them. "You assholes just think you can..."Bam! I held my mouth with my two hands and muffled a scream when I saw one of the men pull out a gun before shooting the truck driver, making a hole through his head before he dropped dead on the floor. I thoug
