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, XavAnika 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,”
Right at 8 PM, someone was knocking on her door. Anika was smiling before she put on her earrings and took one last look at herself before going to get to the door.“Coming,” she said as she opened the door before she was smiling at Damien who was looking handsome as he was wearing his button shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He was smirking charmingly at her before he pulled her close into his arms.“Hello, my sweet,” he said before he was kissing Anika’s lips. She smiled before wounding her arms around his neck. She was kissing him back but Damien broke the kiss before he looked at her outfit.“You’re ready?” he asked before Anika was looking at her clothes. She was wearing a blue blouse with a black skirt. She put her hair into a simple chignon and finished it with stud earrings on her ears.“Is this okay? Or am I underdressed?” Anika said as she was spinning around in front of him. Damien smiled before he put his hands on her wa
“Nice work, Damien. Keep it up,” the majordomo said before he shook Damien’s hand. He nodded before his wolf snarling as if he noticed that Anika was in danger.“I got to go but the usual set next week,” he said before he moved toward the table that he left Anika with. His friends were talking but Anika was nowhere to be found.“Mr. Laskaris?” someone asked him as Damien turned to look at her. It was the hostess that showed them the table. He smiled before she was looking at the table.“Are you looking for someone?” she asked before Damien nodded.“Yes, my ma—ma-girlfriend from earlier, have you seen her?” he asked before the hostess told him that she had gone to the restroom. He thanked the hostess before Damien went to search for Anika.When he arrived at the restroom, the scent of apricot and something else made his wolf snarled. He knew that Anika was in danger before Damien could process the situation and turned to follow the masculi
Anika was looking at her reflection in the bathroom as she was getting ready for her big day. It was the Folk Festival day when the locals and the tight community where Damien was from would be mingling under one banner and they would interact with each other.It was the day that she had been waiting for.Damien had sent her home last night and he stayed for a while as they lay on the bed, hands intertwined while he was speaking about the traditions and the legend of the werewolves in Paphos.It all started with the Greeks that sailed to escape the cruel regime of Alexander the Great during Ancient Greece where he despised the Greeks that have been blessed by the Moon Goddess to have the super-strength of 100 men as well as how they could be the best soldiers in the army.After discovering that they did not worship the same gods and goddesses, Alexander asked for their executions until none of them survived. But thankfully, some of the special Gre
Damien opened the door of his home as Anika was looking at the darkened house. It was chilly in the air before she noticed that no one was around the courtyard. They have stumbled down the small trail that Damien knew would lead to his home. “After you, my sweet,” he said as he held the door for her. Anika should be afraid but right now, she just wanted to explore the entire house that will eventually be her new home. She took a step across the house before Damien scooped her up in bridal style and stepped through the threshold. “You don’t have to do that. It’s not like we’re married by the law,” Anika said before Damien put her down as he was gripping her shoulders. His smoldering grey eyes were burning hot for her as Anika was breathing heavily, knowing what was to come for both of them. “I want to answer the question of our marriage being legal, it is. We’re officially married but Sebastian will send the documents to the city hall next
