" Hello, son ." My body immediately stiffened.That could only mean one thing, his uncle was behind us. I hadn't even seen him and I had started behaving that way. Damien, who noticed my uneasiness, flashed his signature angry-looking face. I was going to ruin everything if I kept behaving that way…With lazy steps, his uncle walked up to us and first placed his gaze on the lady that stood close to his son. Was I the one he had talked of? He used his gaze to size me from head to toe and he didn't even hide it.Meanwhile, on noticing the way Damien's uncle had stared at me, I subconsciously pressed onto Damien's hand. How would I have the confidence to face him if he had reduced my self-esteem with that look of his ?... But at the same time, all I needed to do was to do as Damien had instructed – Don't talk to anyone.After a few minutes of awkward silence, his uncle removed his gaze from me to his son. The look he had on his face was not pleasurable and it made me panic, what if he had caught us in our life?" An omega ?." Those were the first words that left his uncle's mouth. It has never been heard of in his entire lineage that an Alpha or an Alpha's heir has an omega mate. That only made him reason if I was Damien's mate and the fact that he was able to find his mate in a very short time made his doubt intensify." Yes, she is my mate," Damien said for me to release a faint cough which Damien and his uncle didn't fail to hear." But I can't see any mark on her. " I gasped, how could something as obvious as this escape my mind? Of course, he would need to see the mating mark for the setting to be completely believable.Oh no….Meanwhile, Damien twitched his lips, he knew that his uncle was up to something but what ….he had asked for a mate and he has presented one. The mating bond should be our issue and shouldn't be rushed since it can be done at any other time.And at the same time, even if he was a monster, it was not up to that extent. How could he possibly mark a wolf that he didn't have any intention of making his mate? It will be a punishment to both him and I would find it hard to want any other wolf when we finally go their separate ways.From what I had noticed about Damien, the last thing he wanted was to be bonded to one wolf.No way….." So tell me, how did you meet my son, did he force you or did your wolf also call out for him ?" his uncle asked but I refused to say anything as per Damien's reply.His uncle chuckled, he didn't expect anything less and couldn't blame me, Damien would have probably told me to ignore anyone that came my way. He thought it was one of Damien's possessiveness that had kicked in but little did he know that Damien had instructed me not to speak because he was insecure that I might expose him without even knowing.If Damien refused to make things easy for him., he was also going to make things hard for Damien." Damien, I would like to have a word with your mate …..privately" he added, and as expected Damien's aura intensified but his uncle's expression showed that cared less, whatever that wanted to happen, let it happen, he was determined to speak with me, privately.Damien helped my hands, tightly, he knew what would happen if he allowed his uncle to talk to me in his absence. He will surely be exposed.On the other hand, I could do nothing other than pray that Damien doesn't let go of my hand." Are you challenging me, Damien ?" he roared. By this time, the attention of the guests had been drawn which meant more people would now see me as Damien's mate. Damien said nothing more but only gave his uncle a deadly stare. It was now a game of staring contest between Damien, his uncle, me, and the crowd. It was like the ground should open and let me bury myself in it. I hated the attention.Who is she, I heard she is Damien's mate, when did he get a mate and why did he get an omega as a mate, what pack is she from?Those were the whispers I managed to gather from the crowd. They have started talking. If this was a gathering among my pack members, I probably wouldn't have felt this embarrassed." She is my mate so I can decide if she would go with you or not." The crows gasped immediately after his words. They had just heard it from the horse's mouth, I am his mate.Different varieties of emotions filled the living room, some of the guests were filled with jealousy as they also wished to be Damien's mate, especially those he had had intimacy with while some of them were filled with shock that hehe was able to find a new mate amid those ugly scars on his face." I never said she wasn't your mate, I just want to talk to her unless you have something to hide," Damien's uncle said for the crowd to release a loud gasp. To some of them, what they had witnessed was similar to a movie.I panicked, from the little I had seen from Damien's uncle, I could already deduce that he was a cunning man and if Damien kept exchanging words with him, we would certainly be exposed, and to make the matter worse, it would be in the presence of the guests.No way ….I slightly tapped on Damien. He averted his gaze from his uncle to me.I said nothing other than to maintain eye contact with him. Although I said no word with my mouth, my stares passed across a vital piece of information.' Trust me '. Those were the words that anyone who had looked inside my eyes would readDamien sighed, he turned his gaze to the crowd who had their gaze blankly and then to his uncle who also did not seem to want to give up." Ten minutes, you have just ten minutes and I will take my mate home ". And without saying anything more, he left.I was now left alone with Damien's uncle who had cupped up a mischievous smirk on his face and hell…it creeped me out.He stretched out his hands which I slowly received ." Come have a dance with me.' He said, still maintaining the weird smirk on his face.He led me to the center of the living room.– it was still hard for me to believe that this was a living room. It was so big.." So tell me, how did you meet Damien ?." As expected, that was the first question that popped out of his mouth but still, I didn't have an answer for that." Did he force you?" he added." No " I retorted as I tried to look elsewhere except his at face." So tell me, how did you meet him ?" he asked again." I used to work for him !" I simply said but the expression his uncle had given out showed that he was not satisfied with my answer." In his house or office ?" he asked." His office "" Then Damien must have been so desperate to make one of his harems his mate since all the women that work in his offices are his harems." I was thunderstruck, what did I just hear…?.This meant I had entered into the cage of a wolf with high libido, what assurance did I have that he wouldn't force himself on me?" You got it wrong, I was not his harems." I blurted out but still, his uncle didn't seem to believe me instead he let out a deep masculine chuckle.That is what they all say but at some point, they would be seen shamelessly crawling to his bed without any care about his scars." Tell me, aren't you affected by his scars ?" he asked. He turned it into a question-and-answer game but I was determined to answer every question he threw at me. It was not for Damien's sake but for my sake." Yes, I was but not anymore." That was a big fat lie, of course, I was affected and was still having a hard time looking at it. Why would he even ask that question when he knew the obvious answer?He smiled, and he said nothing more but stared intensely into my eyes like he could see through my soul or he was trying to read something off them which was very uncomfortable for me.Weird…." Why hasn't he marked you ?" he asked as he stole glances at her neck and hand. Those were the places a wolf could choose to mark his mate." We will take about that." That was all that could come out from me.Hello no ….." What abo.."His words were cut short when someone came to whisper something to his ears which made his grin to widened. Whatever it was, it wasn't good, I knew it." Please excuse me," he said and left me.With everyone minding their own business and no one coming to me, I stood there as my shoes had been glued to the wall. After what seemed like thirty minutes, I finally decided to explore the mansion until it would be time to finally go home.I slowly walked up the grand stairs. It amazed me how Damien's uncle's house had the same similarities as Damien's house. It also lacked color. The beautiful chandelier that was hung in Damien's living room was also present in Seth's house but that was not my main focus, I wanted to know how big the mansion was and how many rooms it had, idleness.The moment I stepped her feet on the hallway, I was amazed to see the numerous doors which represented the rooms. How can a single person live in this place…all alone? Same as the hallway at Damien's house, this one was filled with dullness.There was nothing like natural light in the hallway, the artificial ones that were scattered around were not enough to properly light the rooms, just like Damien's.As I gradually proceeded, I stopped at a door, something caught her attention. It was a sound, more like moaning not just from a woman but also from a man. I decided to leave since it was none of my business but was stopped by what I heard next." Yes …Damien." I halted.With curiosity, taking over me, I decided to open the door and was stupefied by what I saw. What beholds my sight was a fully dressed Damien and two naked she-wolves tied on the hands. Damien had sucked on the breast of one of them while sticking the otherThat was officially the most disgusting thing that I had ever laid my eyes on. I stood there for what seemed like minutes and none of them knew about my presence, just to show how much they have engrossed themselves.This gave me a deja Vu kind of feeling of Gabriel.Feeling disgusted, I decided to leave the room but there was something I felt….jealousy. I clearly won't allow Damien to do the things he did with the females to me, so why was I feeling this way? I scolded myself.Amid my thinking, a tear dropped from my eyes. I had been with his uncle, trying to prove they were real mates, but there he was, making out with two females." Woah" I bumped into someone….a very handsome someone.3rd person" Woah!" Daemon yelled as Hazel fell to the floor butt first." Watch where you are going," he added. Without asking for her permission, he supported her up with his two hands thereby making an awkward moment where their faces were only an inch apart.Meanwhile, when Hazel had regained herself, she couldn't help but fantasize over the beauty that stood before her. His silk-like face, his perfectly carved eyebrows, pointed nose, well-edged jaw, everything was too…perfect she didn't fail to notice the similar aura he shared with Damien but she chose to ignore it. She shouldn't be thinking of Damien at that moment." I'm so..sorry " she shuddered as she was unable to properly say a sentence. ' My goodness, where did he come from?' she thoughtDaemon was not stupid to not notice the way she had adored his face. He wasn't surprised, that was the reaction he always gets from she-wolves but he cared less about them, he
3rd person" Where's Damien, he needs to see this?" A certain wolf rushed out of the mansion and said to Joseph who had earlier been told to wait behind." What's that ?" He asked." His mate, she's with Daemon." Joseph's aura immediately intensified. He knew it, girls like her who act innocent are always the ones that commit the most crimes, especially the Omegas.Without waiting for another second, he walked into the mansion and confirmed what the wolf had said was true. She had even let Daemon sniff her hair…unbelievable.Joseph saw this display as cheap and it was very likely that Seth would question Damien about this. Although Seth wasn't at the building at that moment, the news would certainly reach out to him.His gaze came in contact with that of Daemon for the briefest moment before walking up to them." What do you think you are doing, you cheap…." " Don't you dare finish that sentence unless you
3rd person." What do you think you are doing, are you trying to get us exposed ?" Damien yelled the moment they stepped their feet outside the mansion. Hazel was beyond scared, she shouldn't be the one to be yelled at, right ?..... Damien had also misbehaved and he should also answer for what he did, so why the only one that's being yelled at?Joseph didn't make things easy for her either, his intense gaze on her was worse than that of Damien, he acted like he would be the one that would be affected if anything went wrong. " He was the one that initiated the conversation." She managed to say but it only made things worse, if Damien could remember clearly, one of the rules he had given her is to never reciprocate a talk even if it was first initiated.This made Damien regret why he had chosen her of all the wolves that would desperately agree to be his hired mate. Why does she have to be so stubborn, why Daemon of all the wolves presen
' Did I make a mistake by leaving Gabriel ?' she asked herself.Damien halted at a plain wooden door that without being told, one would be able to realize that something creepy was behind it. " I think you will have to stay here for the night, by then you will have enough time to process my rules." Before Hazel could say anything, he opened the door and pushed her onside. Hazel sighed, things like this were what she was supposed to expect when she agreed to be his hired mate but she thought to herself, doesn't he have a heart, how can he keep in a place with no source of light? How sure was she that he would give her food or water?One of the things that made her feel uneasy was the smell that filled the room, it had the smell of something that had been dead for a long time. After a few minutes of staring blankly at the thick darkness, she leaned down and sat on the floor until Damien released her the next day as promised. "
Damien " Where is your mate, Damien? " My uncle's voice echoed in the dimly lit, cold living room, startling everyone present. He was the Alpha of the Night Wolves pack and was on the brink of causing havoc, but what he had asked of me was to the extreme. I can't possibly have a Luna if my wolf has not called for one. " I don't have one!! ". Those words were like poison to his consciousness and his reaction defined it. I wasn't bothered, that was not the first time he had ranted about me getting a mate but I think that someone needed to remind him that a wolf can't be forced to have a mate." Then consider yourself not worthy of being my successor as an Alpha ".My eyes narrowed as I gnashed my teeth, I had long suspected that my uncle would walk down that path. For the first time in a while, I panicked. There was not a thing I wanted other than to be the pack's Alpha. My wolf had never longed for anyone, so how would I have a mate? " You can't do this! " I blurted out but it see
Hazel" What do you mean by I have a job to pose as a fake mate ?" I asked my father. I couldn't believe what he had said, he came home lamenting how I had a job as a fake mate to some wolf that I had never met. Why would he agree to a stupid deal without my permission?"You should stop asking questions and prepare yourself, you are leaving tomorrow and you have no say in it, " He said as he tried to avoid my gaze, of course, he would be too embarrassed to maintain eye contact with me. " That will not be possible, I will let the Alpha know about this," I said but my father let out a deep chuckle as he took what I had said as funny. It seemed he also want the Alpha to know about it and if I end up telling him, it would only make his work easier and faster." You can go ahead to do that, if you must know, Damien is a much stronger werewolf than the Alpha, he can't help you ". I narrowed my eyes. The last time I checked, Sebastian, the Alpha of my pack was one of the strongest werewol
Hazel I couldn't remove my gaze away from the stranger, I kept wondering how my father must have known such a powerful wolf and what must have transpired between them that made my father so determined to make me his hired mate.The stranger who had noticed the stares I gave him did nothing but push his focus on the road, From the little display he had pulled off, I knew that he didn't like me probably because I was an Omega and looked weak to him. That was one of the attributes of most powerful wolves, weak wolves like me tend to irk them but whoever this Damien was, personally asked for me." Are you the wolf I would work for? " I broke the awkward silence. The stranger chuckled. A lot of words could be derived from that chuckle, he seemed he can never have an Omega as a mate even if it was just for pretense. Being smart enough, I kept my mouth shut and averted my gaze to the road. After a long while of awkward silence, the nonchalant stranger finally opened his mouth. " No, Da
CHAPTER FOURDamienAt my private library. An awkward silence reigned as a suffocating aura filled the room. I had summoned Joseph and I didn't hide the fact that I was displeased by something.I guess he had forgotten my number one rule, I don't mess with what's mine, and neither would anyone else." Why did you mishandle her without any regard for who she was to me? " I blurted out. Joseph was startled, that was probably not the question he had expected from me. He look into my eyes and asked why I cared since I wasn't the type that cared about any female that comes to my house and how he treats them.As fear had taken the best of him, Joseph dared not make eye contact with me but that didn't mean he couldn't feel the heart-shattering stare that was directed at him." What do you mean? ". Joseph decided to play the dumb card." Why did you drag Greg's daughter into the mansion with anger all over your face? " I said. Joseph twitched his lips as he didn't see any reason why I shou

3rd PersonImmediately she got to her room, she sighed. She couldn't understand why she had so much fear for Joseph even when she first met him but at the same time, there was Damien, who had the same aura as his beta and probably was more dangerous than him. Anyways, there was nothing she could do, escaping was not an option even if it was the only way she could get away from Damien. With lazy steps, she went to get her comfortable bed and bounced on it. She saw sleeping as her only way to escape the nightmare of an arrangement." Why can't he just get a real mate? " she mumbled but at the same time, her thoughts diverted to Gabriel, her dream mate. When she thought of how he had betrayed her, she couldn't blame Damien for not having a mate. Wolves are not to be trusted.He might had also been betrayed in the past or was it because of his face?"His face, " she gasped, she had forgotten the face of the person she had posed as his mate. She saw his face as the highest factor that c
DamienShe immediately went to sit opposite me but I was very sure that she couldn't see my face which I made sure of. She probably must have asked herself questions but I cared less about that.Halfway through the meal, I finally raised my gaze at her for the first time since she got to the dining room. I took my time to study her as I contemplated whether or not I should show her my face. I knew she must have wanted to ask but didn't for reasons best known to her." Don't you want to see my face ?" I asked.She blinked numerous times, of course, she did but she didn't expect me to ask. I guess she had decided to respect my reasons for not showing her my face." Not really, I understand if you don't want to show me your face" she retorted for me to let out a deep chuckle. I had expected her to say that, those had been the words my past harems say when I asked them if they would like to see my face." I can show you if you want," I said.Her curiosity immediately sprung up, this meant
