The room was quiet when I walked in. It was set up like a hospital room, with a small bed where Damian's body lay on and I could hear beeping sounds from the heart monitor.
Everyone else but Reggie walked out of the room as soon as I walked in, not saying a word to me. Reggie steps away from Damian, to allow me the space to be close to him.
"You said you would keep him alive," I say.
"He is, alive..." Reginald says to me, I don't even look back at him.
"Barely, look at him!" I say. Damian's heart was weak and I could feel it in me that we were losing him. The mark on my neck connected me to him and the little bit of him that was left was all I could feel, the rest of him was gone and I felt empty. A hole was growing big inside of me, where our connection should be growing, Damian's stamp in my heart was slowly fading.
"What am I going to do? Nobody is allowed to play with the laws of life. Life and death are not up to an
Doug's life leaves his eyes as Reginald and I watch on...The heart monitor continues to beep but with my wolf hearing, Damian's heartbeat grew stronger with every second that passed by. The spell had worked and it was only a matter of time before he woke up and came back to me.How would he handle the death of his father? On the surface, he may act as his father is an evil man and his morals are begging him to hate his dad but love is love, and everyone is allowed to love their parents, whether that love was reciprocated or not. A child does not choose to love his or her parents, it just happens and that is life...Doug was right though. Damian had a lot of work waiting for him when he returns to his pack but the one thing Doug did not know is that maybe me being, mated to his son, was and is the saving grace the pack needs to dig themselves out of this hole. I am an alpha child, born with an inheritance that enables me to run the pack... the pack my brot
"Do you guys need more time in the bedroom? Talking to the people and getting them to go back home and start over can all wait. It is nothing of importance." Reginald says to Damian and me as we walk into the room where my trees once were.I smile at him.I was old enough to not find this embarrassing at all. Damian was mine and I was his... this was only the beginning. This is how we were supposed to be when we first met, but nothing was standing between us now."No. " Damian answers him with a serious face."The people are waiting. It is time to talk to them, a few words of wisdom and some words on how to go about life now that things have changed and you, the prophesied one is back." Reginald gets to his feet and walks past us.We follow him silently. I knew that I will have to speak to my people and give them some words of guidance, how to start over, and that I will be with them every step of the way. They need reassu
"Hello, Aaron," I say, walking in on my mate's cousin sitting comfortably in the alpha office.He looks up and smiles as he sees nobody is standing behind me. Aaron gets to his feet and starts to walk toward me. I stay rooted in place, right by the door and he kisses my cheek before closing the door behind me, only for Damian's foot to block him."Ah, you survived," Aaron says, his face showing clear signs of annoyance. With Damian alive, this meant that his claim as alpha of this pack would hold no weight now once the entire pack finds out that the rightful heir to the throne was back.Aaron and I make way for Damian to enter, walking past the both of us and sitting on the chair his father once sat on. Memories of the day I sat with Damian's father, after the death of my parents in this life. Somehow their death is one I can't seem to get over, with all my memories back, with every information that I have and the job I had to do to save my kind, it still hurts to this day."I want to
The travel back to Damian's pack was no easy feat. Having to reassure my people that they had to go back home and fix it up, making it the pack we once knew was tough as all they wanted to do was follow me but in time, I would return to guide them and to rule over them. I am a mated woman, one that is mated to an alpha, making this so much worse for me. One, I could merge the two packs but that was not my job and the job was not made to make anything easier for me. Between Damian and the pack, I will always choose my work over love but I promised to help Damian in winning his pack back and that is why I am here now, to defeat the current alpha and take back what is his.Naturally, I could just walk up to Aaron and kill him myself but this is also Damian's fight and I can only help him in fighting against Aaron and that is allowing him to find a way to defeat Aaron on his own and only jump in when he needs my help. "Has your uncle called?" Damian asks me. Night had fallen and even th
Seeing Damian on the ground was enough for me to go into kill mode. His life has been threatened before, seemingly disposable and even though I have been my fair share of lovers over time, he is still important to me, and being my mate, protects him from all danger... Any danger that I can eliminate.If it is not the forces of nature or old age that dares to take his life, I will challenge any forces for trying to take him away from me.I had broken his back. The old Aaron look-alike lay with his eyes closed right next to Damian. The many people fighting outside stopped to look at the mess I had made, the trouble I have probably caused for this pack.He was definitely Aaron's father and that would make him alpha of his pack, with me attacking him, this meant war and I don't think this pack can take another beating... Not after the humans came over and killed most of them. They don't even know about me or my capabilities."You know what this means now..." Aaron says to me, standing nex
Aaron and his brother were camped out just outside the pack. Well hidden by the trees and bushes surrounding them. The alpha, Aaron's dad lay on the ground still out of it.It was clear he was in a lot of pain but he was sleeping, forcing his wolf to heal him. Aaron was huffing and puffing, complaining to his brother, who seemed not so interested in Aaron's blabber. No, bigger and worse Aaron was more worried about their dad. It is clear that he is as very fond of his dad, and probably also the favorite son seeing as he became alpha and Aaron was sent here to take over if Damian couldn't."I hope I am not interrupting anything," I say, walking out from the bush I was hiding behind. The boys stood up abruptly, shocked that they had not sniffed me out before exposing myself."Came here to finish what you started?" Aaron asks and I shake my head no."I am here to give you both a chance to keep your lives. Leave here, go back to where you come from and never come back. Stop trying to cl
The doctor came to see Damian while I was away, keeping him heavily sedated to promote healing as he tried to wake up once and fight again. He could not force himself to sleep like Aaron's father to promote his healing, worried about the state of his pack. Damian's parents have flushed this pack down the drain. Sitting in the office when I am not checking up on Damian, the financials are worse than I thought. How the pack is surviving on a minus is a shocker to the system. The pack has been lied to for many years, they were doing okay but in reality, they were a fast sinking ship. "Hello, uncle," I say to Reginald over the phone. There was some noise in his background but he could still hear me. "What is the matter? You don't sound too happy..." He says. "The pack is in trouble. Their finances are... well, this pack is in the red and I don't know how Damian will be able to save this pack without dipping his entire form in the troubled waters..." I say over the phone. "The answer
"Wake up, beautiful..." Damian whispers in my ear. Little did he know that I was already awake, listening to his heartbeat and trying to enjoy life's little pleasures like the sound of his heart beating, proof of life.I open my eyes to see his gorgeous eyes staring back at me. I have known love, I have experienced love in many different forms and every time I experience it, it feels like the very first time. it feels like a world anew and with Damian, it is as if he is teaching it to me for the very first time."I don't think I will ever tire of this." I say to him and he rewards me with a kiss. A quick peck before leaving a trail of kisses from my lips to my collarbone."How are you feeling?" I ask him. His uncle really did a number on him and it Is important that he heals completely before we take them on, securing his place as the alpha."Getting there... I'll say, it's taking me a little longer than I thought." He says to me.I push him off me to take a good look at him...Strad
