LanaLunchtime with Damon, Matthias, and Katarina is an interesting affair I always look forward to. So when Damon mentions it after the most erotic bath I ever had, I agree without thinking much about it. The dining table is adorned with a spread fit for royalty. Each delicacy set out to my preferences.“Woah,” I marvel at the variety of dishes that the maids were able to make within a few hours. “Do you have anything else you wish to eat that's not here? I will ask them to make it.” Damon asks, his tone indulging me a smile appears on his face. I glance at the array of tempting choices, and I shake my head. “Every delicacy I crave to eat is here” I reply with a delighted glint in my eyes.He reaches for the cutleries and then places them in my hands like I did for him when he was temporarily blind. “Good then, I have to feed you well after all of that.”Matthias raises a confused brow, “after all of what?”Katarina, sitting gracefully beside him, rolls her eyes. “Why did you wan
Alpha Damon's dark penetrating eyes widen at Lana's surprising declaration. The air around them stiffens, and a moment of silence hangs between them. He tries to distance himself, but she unexpectedly wraps her arms around him. “Alana..” Damon speaks in a low, uncertain voice the moment he feels her touch.“I know. I shouldn't love you, but I do. You warned me against falling for you, but what can I do? I'm so hopelessly in love with you.”Damon stiffens as he listens to her confession. He gently removes her arms around his waist, taking a step back. He hesitates, his dark eyes reluctantly meeting hers. The tears in them almost compel him to pull her into his arms once more, but he resists the urge. “Ignore your feelings for me. I don't want you to get hurt.” He advises, a hint of concern in his voice.Princess Lana shakes her head, her eyes filled with unshed tears and determination as she closes the distance between them. “I don't want to ignore my feelings, Damon…” She says softl
As they approach the base of Shrouded Peaks, the air becomes more unusually chilly. The mountain looms above them, and Damon leads Lana to a hidden entrance concealed by the natural rock formation. “This entrance leads to the vampire kingdom.” the Alpha explains, his deep commanding voice echoing in the cavernous space. “We’ll go through this path when we are visiting, but for now, let me show you around.”“Everywhere feels so cold,” Lana says honestly, her eyes scanning the cavern. Damon nods at her observation, then continues leading her through the secret entrance. The air gets chillier the more they explore, and the sounds of water echo around them.“What was the significance of this mountain before the vampires discovered its secret route to their kingdom?” Lana asks, her voice tingled with curiosity.“It was just a mountain. My family’s ancestral mansion is nearby, and my grandfather used to train here in his youth,” Damon discloses, his voice growing colder with each word.“W
Unlike Ethan and Lily, Serafina doesn't have a designated room for her in the Alpha Damon’s mansion. She's sitting in the maids’ garden, contemplating the impulsive decisions that led her here. Particularly, the day she let her emotions guide her, instructing the wizard to extract all of Princess Lana’s blood. The mistake haunts her more than any other mistake she had ever made. It was driven by her obsession to have the Black Pack Alpha to herself, but it was also the magnetic pull that had drawn him toward Lana.“She’s the spy…”“Are you sure? She looks so gentle.” “How could she betray her pack? What a traitor.”“I heard Alpha adopted her siblings. He’s becoming more lenient to traitors, is Princess Lana influencing him?”“Well she's his mate…what do you think?” “I wish Miss Sera was here. She's the best mate, unlike that whore, who we all have to accept after what she did to Beta Hunter.”Whispered voices echo in Sera’s ears, but she continued to act like she didn't hear them. S
LanaAfter Damon’s speech, he introduced May. He called her one of them, and also a traitor. His expression was stoic all through as he summarizes our ordeal with the vampires, beginning from Sera’s abduction, then everything that happens afterward . In the end, the pack agreed to put her on house arrest.“Her house is close to Shrouded Peaks, how long do you think she will survive before the vampires find her?” “I hope they find her tonight and make her life miserable like she made Alpha’s. I can't believe she's the woman who harmed Alpha that day.”“I’m still struggling to believe that Alpha was able to deceive everyone that he isn't blind for almost a week” Another whispered voice echoes from the Elders’ children near me, and I notice their mates staring intently at me.I quickly avert my gaze, but it meets with Hunter’s and I look away. Blinking hard as I return my attention to Damon.His imposing presence is comforting in the daily lit forest, and the rustles of leaves under our
“Alpha, Beta Hunter is here.” One of the guards at the front gate announces Hunter’s unexpected appearance before he departs. Hunter’s jaw tightens as he stares at the couple before Hunter. His keen ear catches the question Damon just threw at Lana, even from the considerable distance between them, and it raises his suspicions. As he approaches them, Hunter's steely gaze meets Damon's penetrating ones, and he notices the irritation in them. “Are you still parading yourself as my Beta?” The Alpha questions Hunter as soon as he stands before him.Hunter smirks confidently, his icy blue eyes locked with Damon's dark eyes. “Old habits die hard, Alpha. I may not hold the position officially, but you know where my loyalty lies.”Damon's gaze hardens as he stares at Hunter, his steely expression inciting tension in the corridor. “What do you have to say that can't wait until tomorrow?” He snarls, his tone reflecting his lack of appreciation for Hunter’s presence.Hunter remains silent, hi
“Thank you..” Lana’s voice echoes in Alpha Damon’s ear, and his jaw tightens, subtle anger flickering in his eyes as he watches Hunter’s retreating figure.He maintains his composure, then shifts to meet her widened gaze with his dark piercing eyes. “Don't thank me for sparing his life. I still intend to kill him.” Lana’s face stretches into a cute smile as she shakes her head. “No, I'm thanking you for not killing him again in my presence.” She replies, gradually wrapping her hands around him. “Thank you for sparing any more trauma.” Damon's stern expression softens slightly at Lana's words. He brings his arms around her in a protective embrace, gently patting her head. “You’re all that matters to me.” He says firmly, his tone conveying a rare tenderness as he assures her. He feels his heart pumping hard in his chest as Lana nestles into his embrace. His arousal returns tenfold, but he holds her, savoring the moment, and engraving it in his memory. “I don’t want to live without
In the desolate confines of Shadow Corners, unwanted tears fall off Sera's eyes as her mind echoes with memories of that fateful night. The abandoned bungalow, a stark reflection of her isolation, served as a punishment from the pack. She has been isolated for 6 months, and Alpha Damon threatened to confine anyone who dared to visit her. Serafina thinks back to her encounter with Matthias again, and it haunts her thoughts. She had advised herself never to entertain any thoughts about him after knowing his relationship with Grand Healer’s Hart’s daughter, but after he promised to talk to Damon, and plead for a reduction in her sentence, she felt confused on what to feel for him.“Why would you help me?” She asked him, curious and desperate as she questioned his motives.“Because you are my mate.” His response had sent a shiver down her spine. “You said I'm dead to you. Why don't you just go to your pack and forget about me?” Sera shivers visibly as the moment flashes in her brain
