I smiled weakly, appreciating that she was here for me. But nothing could overpower the looming sadness inside me. The second Lia arrived she asked if I was okay. I ran into her arms, desperate to be consoled. She held me tight, cooing words of comfort. When I was finally in a condition to speak, she asked me what happened. I didn't tell her the full story, not wanting to breach Dameon's privacy even further. I was pushing him to tell me what was wrong when he was clearly very upset and he snapped at me.

"I'm gonna break his face!"She declared once I had finished explaining. "Anyone who hurts my bestie is gonna get it!"She fumes, jumping up and pacing around the room.

I sniffled, still looking like a lifeless lump on the bed. "I miss him," I started to cry again, burying my face in the mountain of tissues she brought.

"No, none of that," she comes back over to me, putting her hands on her hips. "He doesn't get to be missed after what he did,"

"But I'm the one who-"

    I froze as he walked forward." Can we talk, Willow?" he asked. I could not speak. I just stared at him with my eyes wide open, trying to remember what Lia had told me to do in this situation. She Looks at me and notices my discomfort. "She doesn't want to talk to you," she told Dameon. But he just ignores her. All his attention was on me. He looked worse than yesterday, the dark circles under his eyes much more pronounced. "Love, please. Let me talk to you," I found myself slowly shaking my head, almost doing it involuntarily as I gripped Lia's arm tightly for support. I could face him. I couldn't even look at him without the hurt of what he said coming back to me. "Willow," Lia whispered, "Say Something," I swallowed nervously, locking eyes with Dameon who looked apprehensive of my answer my heart clenched as I looked at him “ No,” I said, shaking my head. His shoulders slumped in defeat. He looked on the verge of begging me to hear him out, but he clenched his jaw in resis

    "Willow?" Jack's voice called out. I quickly pull back my hood, looking up at him. "O-Oh. Hi Jake," I said with a weak smile. I was...a bit surprised. Why was he suddenly speaking to me again? "Why are you sitting here alone?" he asked. "I-I'm just giving my friends some space. Brianna is not too happy with me right now," I didn't expect it when he lowered himself to the ground, sitting down next to me. "Did you guys fight? Is that why you have been so down the past few days?" So he did notice. I guess I could not be more discreet about how depressed I was. "Kind of...it was also because--" but I quickly stopped myself. If I said that it was because of what happened with Dameon that would be insensitive since I rejected Jake for him... "What?" "N-Nevermind," I said, shaking my head. He looked at me for a moment." Is it because of Dameon?" My eyes widened and I looked at him in shock. "H-How did you-?" "The guy you like. It's him, right?" I bite my lip. "Yeah...how did you

    I didn't have to think long about how to deal with the situation because then he embraced me from behind, pulling me against him. "I'm sorry, Willow. I'm so sorry," he murmured, my back to his chest.It was like all my strength had left my legs and I sank to the ground, Dameon going with me. One touch and I was weak, realizing how much I had missed the warm embrace of his arms. "Dameon..!"I said his name with anguish."I Shouldn't have let you leave like that that day. I'm so sorry for turning you away," I started to cry, the regret of everything flooding in."Don't apologize for anything. I was the one who fucked up,"I shook my head, sniffling as he pulled me into his embrace even tighter. "It's okay,""No, it's not. I was mean to you." he buried his face in the crook of my neck, kissing me tenderly there. "I'm so sorry,"I took in a few deep breaths, hiccuping as I tried to calm down he just held me, his grip tight yet not painful, just enough to show me that he didn't want to let

    The flashback into Dameon's past. It will switch between him telling it and the flashback. "Tia and Ralph aren't my biological parents. My real parents were both rogues. They had been banished from their pack and wandered across the country searching for a place where we could start anew. But they caught a deadly infection. The Disease killed them slowly. I didn't catch it, I don't know why, but it did not affect me. I had no idea what was going on. I was only 5. And, I don't even know how I remember this, but my mom sat me down one day..." Mama had tears in her eyes. She has been looking sad these days. "Look what your father did to us. We're rotting all alone out here. Can you believe it? My own mate got us banished from my pack." She said stuff like this a lot. I don't think she loves papa. "Listen here, baby. All mates are good for heartache and pain," Mama tells me. I nodded, I hope I Don't have a mate if they make you cry like this. "Not long after that, my parents di

    The Flashback continues She jolted, scrambling out over the blanket. She grabbed her gun and slipped it into her boots before turning to me."I need you to stay here," she whispered. My heart beat erratically, fear consumed me. "Mom! You can't go!" "I have to protect you," "But y-you're not an alpha like the others or dad! Don't fight," She smiled at me sadly. "How little faith you have in me. I know how to use a gun, Dameon," I shook my head. "No! Don't go!" She kissed me on the head. "I love you forever," she said. I watched as she left our makeshift tent, cooking her gun. I don't plan on staying here. I have to go after her. I have to protect mom. I grabbed my a little knife that Dad had given me for my 10th birthday. Mom had been so mad when She saw what the present was. He told her, "Tia, the alpha's son needs to know how to fight!" She ignored him, then whacked him over the head with a spatula. I still got to keep the knife,e though, as long as I promised to be s

    The flashback has ended. Back to the present time.The pain of losing his mate was too much for Ralph to bear. He fell into depression. And every time I had to look at the broken shell of the man who used to be the proud Alpha of our pack, guilt overtook me. It was all I could feel sometimes. Watching him mourn her was just as painful as my own mourning. It was a reminder that I took away what he loved most in the world. His mate. His Luna.After that, I became strong. Puberty hit me like a train and I sprouted up. I worked out. Got into fights. I just wanted to be invincible. I felt like it could make up for how weak and helpless I had been as I watched that alpha kill her.I don't want a mate, either. After seeing what both Ralph and my biological mom went through because of their mates, I swore I would never claim mine. Because they could get hurt and die in the blink of an eye when you aren't there to protect them. And I don't want to ever feel the pain of losing someone I loved

     I played with my phone absent-mindedly as I waited for Dameon, as he had gone to freshen up. I had calmed down already, and my tears had finally stopped. I was honestly still reeling from everything he had told me. It explained so much. Why he was so touchy about mates. About Tai. Now that I knew the reason behind why he snapped at me, it hurt so much less now.And the fact that he trusted me enough to open up to me felt pretty great. That he sees me as valid, and respects and cares about my opinion of him. It made me feel like we had passed a big milestone together.I hummed softly to myself, adjusting the screen brightness of my phone when a message popped up on my screen. My Stomach drops.

    I blushed, my heart feeling warm at the affection in his voice. His being so sweet to me sometimes feels like a dream. I remember When I first got here, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. He was so cold and mean. It was so hard to imagine that, at that time, all I was to him was "Dark Moon trash." I was Glad that I'm "shortcake" to him now instead. He got up to go change again, and I dismissed my disappointment when he walked back out in a shirt and pants. I hoped at least that he'd go shirtless. "Are you staying over? What about Ralph?" I asked. Ralph still doesn't know about our relationship, at least to my knowledge. "He's not coming back tonight. He would be at midnight packed for a few days. Didn't he tell you?" Oh. I do faintly recall him saying something about that, but I must have been too occupied with being depressed to remember. At my intuitive expression, He ruffles my hair, climbing on the bed with me. "Come h

    "What do you think?" He asked me. I thought, since this guy is one of Dameon's work colleagues, I wanted to be friendly. "It's pretty. I really love the color," "I was right, eh," he lightly pats the seat of it, "Pretty things like pretty things, don't they?" I laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Was he calling me a thing? "I can take you out on it if you want. It's up and running," he suddenly suggested. "I d-don't think-" "Come on. I would take you for a wild ride, sweetie. You would love it," "Um," I looked over to the door where Dameon disappeared through. When was he coming back? "You don't fancy an old man like me? That it?" he raised a bushy eyebrow. Both his eyebrows look like furry caterpillars and combined with him staring at me expectantly. It gave me the urge to laugh. I couldn't help it, I started giggling, trying to muffle it with a hand over my mouth. I don't know why, but something about the situation Was just so funny. "Aw, don't be like that, swe

    I woke up with a startled gasp, looking around to check where I was. Was he here? Was he going to hurt me? I was nearly hyperventilating, grasping the sheets as I tried to remember where I was. The room was quiet. The sound of soft breathing comes from beside me, and I look to see Dameon with his hair all messed up from the pillows, sleeping peacefully. Thank god I didn't wake him up.The sight of him filled me with some relief, but my heart was still beating a mile a minute. This often happens when I wake from night terrors like this--my body is still stuck in the dream, and the anxiety doesn't go away for a while. But why have I been having so many lately? It is really draining.In this one, my stepfather was holding me down as he pressed his knee down on my chest cavity. Any harder and he would've broken my rib cage. The hot ash from his cigar was raining down on my face, stinging my cheeks.My stomach still felt queasy; I quietly sneaked off the bed, gently moving Dameon's hands,
