This was the worst night of his life.
Damien Laskaris sighed before he took a deep breath as he looked at the stage where he would be giving some comics later that night. He was just delivering the lumbers with some of the pack warriors and Zack was kind enough to bring him here before he had to take charge and talked to the old man Mr. Papadopoulos about the charge for the newest lumbers that he ordered.I hope you will win the argument, kid, he thought as he was leaning against the wall beside the front door to the carpenter’s shop before Zack appeared from it.“You got it?” he asked before he fell into steps with the Omega of the pack. After being discovered that he was being attacked by a pack of rogues and soon knew that he was related to the Gamma of the Shadow Pack, Arthur Adamos, Zack has been seeing better days now.He was healthy and showed the glow of a prime werewolf. Damien would be wondering who would be his mate later. Not that he h“So, do you think you will ever find your mate, Damien?” Zack asked when Damien turned to look at him. They were standing outside the bar where Damien had performed and they were taking some fresh air when the bar was too crowded. He sighed.“I don’t know. I mean, the top three of our Pack had found their mates so perhaps there is a chance for us to find them even when it has been a couple of years since our 18th birthday,” Damien said as they were looking at the moon.It was a full moon tonight.“Hmm,” Zack replied as they were lost in their thoughts.“Why do you ask? Have you found her?” Damien teased the Omega before Zack grunted. He laughed before Zack shook his head and headed out to get to their tight community back. Damien watched him go before shaking his head and followed his friend.“Wait for me,” he said as he jogged to walk side by side with Zack as they were walking past the café where Samantha Lykos was working. Damien saw t
The alarm was beeping as Damien was groaning around in his bed. It has taken him some time to fall asleep after his gig last night and the possibility of Zack’s reaction to Sam. Perhaps they were not tolerable against each other and Damien did not know about it.“Okay, I’m up, I’m up,” he mumbled before he was stopping his alarm clock. It was 8 AM and he had to get to Kato Airport to pick up one Anika Regio since she bought the exclusive package. It was Damien’s responsibility to get her from the airport and send her back for her one-week vacation in Paphos. There were some questions that he wanted to ask her about why choosing Paphos as her vacation spot.One: why? Like, Paphos was surrounded by trees and forest.Two: why the hell does an Italian woman want to be on this island, for God’s sake?! Can’t she just go to Paris or Zurich for her vacation? That would be awesome for Damien has been wanting to go to those places his whole life.Only, ther
“You don’t have to worry! I don’t have any girlfriend and if I have one, that lady will know it,”The statement that left Damien’s lips still lingered in her mind as Anika was trying to look around instead of being aware of the man who was driving her from the airport to Paphos. She should have thought better than taking a male tour guide but what can be done? It already happened when she was stepping out of the car when Damien told her that they had arrived in Paphos.The small town of Paphos was… quaint, for lack of a better word. People were busying themselves to get to work and some were trying to haggle over the price of the products that they were buying.Anika smiled for she never saw what was people doing when she had to be at the studio most of the time and her groceries were being handled by her agent, Sasha. One of these days, I will be making my groceries, Anika thought before Damien took her backpack to the backseat and held it for her.
Damien was trying to control the lashes and the roaring of his wolf as he was leaving the room. Anika looked so vulnerable and the growling of her stomach made his wolf snarl at him for leaving her alone in the room.’You should have taken care of her needs. Why are you neglecting our mate?’ his wolf asked him as Damien was trying to find out about this article that could expose his tight community to the world.‘Oh, shut up! She will come later and I will feed her. But for now, I have to tell the Alpha and the others about that article and take action about it,’ he said before he pulled his mind link to connect with the top three of Shadow Pack.‘Damien, you call?’ Caleb said before Damien heard that Xavier and Arthur were there as well.‘What do you want, Damien? It’s damn too early for you to call out for a meeting,’ Xavier said as Damien rolled his eyes.‘And why would you be yawning still? Didn’t you have enough sleep last night, Xav
Anika was looking around the café as it had an ambiance to it. She loved it and hopes for the next few days she will be spending some time here on her own. Not that she didn’t want Damien to be here with her but if he agreed, she would love that as well.“And here we are,” Sam said as she was setting the special brunch meals in front of them. Anika’s eyes bulged at the size of the meal. It could easily feed 3 people and think that she would have to finish this on her own.“Thank you, Sam,” Damien said as she nodded and went to take other orders from other customers. Anika was looking at the meal before she turned to look at Damien. He was watching her and she licked her lips.“I don’t think I can finish this in one sitting,” she said before Damien smiled.“Of course not. I would not expect you to be finishing it at all but it will be a good idea to box it and bring it back to your room later for an early dinner,” Damien said before he took a fork
“Fresh cabbage straight from the farm!”“Come get your prawns! They are fresh from the sea!”“Have a taste of this cooked fish! Get some of your own!”The vendors’ screams and shouting were making Damien feel right at home. He knew that his place was to be around people, not be a recluse in the tight community that he called home. He has nothing against the community, it’s just that Damien would be more comfortable and in his element, if he were out in the open.And not to mention that he was with his mate right now, even though she did not know about it or believe that werewolves existed. She will be in shock when she discovers that Paphos is the birthplace of such a species.“So, what are we doing next?” her angelic voice his eardrums before Damien turned to look at Anika. Her violet eyes were shining under the sunlight as they were walking around the market. His heart stuttered before he cleared his throat and searched the area.
After patrolling the area with a douchebag of a Gamma, Arthur let Damien to be away from his duty. He was still in his wolf form as he was stalking around the forest that was near the inn where Anika was staying. His wolf was happy to be near his mate and right now, Damien was looking at the bright room that he knew it was Anika’s.‘Where is she?’ his wolf asked Damien as he was looking around. He went closer before he was trying to get a better look into the room. The bed was made and her clothes were lying around.‘Perhaps in the bathroom?’ his wolf stated before Damien was moving away to get a better vantage point into the bathroom. Then, there she was.His breaths were knocked away from his lungs as Damien was looking at her naked form that was sleeping in the bathtub. He must exhaust her today with the walking and talking. He felt guilty as he was walking toward the inn stealthily and hopping into the balcony that was near her room.Damien sh
After they had spent some time at the café and making sure that Sam was okay, Anika and Damien left the café to go explore one of the local museums that Damien recommended for Anika. She agreed for she wanted Damien to show her his backyard.“So, you have been here your whole life? Is that correct?” she asked him as they were walking toward the museum as he nodded.“That is right. My father and mother were from Paphos and they gave birth to me here. I was born and raised in Paphos,” he said as they were looking at the children that were running around in the playground. Anika smiled as she tucked her hair behind her ears.“And where are your parents now?” she asked absent-mindedly before she noticed that Damien had stopped. She turned to look at him and there was sorrow in his eyes. She knew that she had made a mistake by asking that personal question.“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to…I’m sorry. I should have just shut up and don’t say anything,”
