Leah POVToday started awfully but it ended in a good way. I couldn't tell if it was because Damian had given me the factory to manage or because of the acceptance I got from his men earlier, but I was happy. As I walked to my room, humming a sweet song, I remembered Stephanie's face when Damian had called my name. She looked so pissed off, I was shocked she did not blow up out of anger. I giggled just by thinking about it. It's been a long time since I played a trick on her and I felt like doing so again just to get a reaction out of her. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Evelyn looking at me with a worried expression. I could tell she was being concerned by my outbursts. My stomach rumbled and I remembered that I was a little hungry after everything that happened today. I turned to Evelyn. “Can you get me a plate of food from the kitchen?” I implored. She nodded and left immediately without hesitation.Evelyn was still wary of me. She did exactly what I told her to do and was al
Leah POV Evelyn sniffed the air, after a while she stopped. “I don't think anyone has been here today. Why don't we go to the pack house?” She suggested. “Alright,” I agreed and we left for the pack house. I was planning on spending my time in the pack house anyways later on. I didn't want to see Damian and Stephanie. We reached the pack house, passing through Tessa's house. I noticed she was also not at home. Was there something going on that I didn't know about? On entering the pack house, I saw Marcus speaking to a group of people. “What is going on there?” I whispered to Evelyn. She shrugged and got closer. Marcus was addressing the group about the factory. I noticed Damian took the gem making business very seriously. Why would he give it to Stephanie to take care of if he knew she would not be able to take care of it? I shook my head. Now, I'm designated to take care of it till he comes back. I aimed to do a good job and make him speechless. There was also a part of me
Damian POV“We received a message from Connor,” one of my men announced. It's been two days since Connor left and we have been waiting for a message from him. “That was fast,” I murmured. I was thinking it would take at least a week for them to make their move. “He said the wolves have started moving and they are heading this way,” the man continued. I sat straight in my seat. “Why are they coming this way?” I asked him, surprised. For the last few weeks, they have been hovering in the woods and close to the Risenmoon Pack. Why were they changing directions? Did they find out our plans? So many questions were going through my head. I didn't want to lose the mined lead to anyone and could not afford to. Alpha Elijah would not be mining another lead anytime soon. “I do not know, Alpha,” he answered. “He said they should be getting closer by now and asked that we go to the borders and wait for them,” the man stood up after giving the message. “Thank you,” I told him. He bowed and l
Leah POV We were outside taking a stroll. The mansion and its surroundings were too quiet. There were very few men left. I wondered how the plan was going. I sat down on a log of wood with a dramatic sigh. Evelyn had told me they would be back soon and nothing would happen to any of them but I couldn't help but worry. I was worried about Connor and maybe a little bit about Damian. He was the Alpha after all. It was already dark, with the wind getting colder by the minute. For some reason I felt like waiting for them. Damian had gone to the borders so we should be expecting him soon. As I sat there, musing about a man that didn't care about me, I saw two men coming our way and I tensed up, standing and running towards them. “What happened?” I gasped, a lump forming in my throat. One of them was perfectly fine but the other one was badly injured and bleeding profusely. “We got attacked when we went to spy on the wolves. Please help him, Luna,” the young wolf said, looking at
Leah POVI woke up feeling flustered, worry gnawing in my mind. The room was too quiet. Stifling a yawn, I stood up from the chair I was seated on and went to check up on Damian. He was still unconscious. I checked his pulse. It was beating wildly. My neck was sore from constantly watching him the whole night. It reminded me of when I had saved Anne. Saving her was what brought me here in the first place. What would happen this time when Damian woke up? The door flew open unexpectedly and I heard her before I saw her. “Why is he still asleep?” As usual it was Stephanie and her impatient self. Taking a look at her, I noticed her eyes were red and she looked deranged. Marcus was behind her. He also was not faring any better. Why were they both looking so unkept when I was the one taking care of him all through the night? I wanted to ask.“Why is he still not awake?” She asked angrily, glaring at my hand. I was holding his wrist and she was not happy about that. “It is wolfsbane, S
Leah POV We spoke at the same time, not expecting to see him. Damian looked at the both of us with a grim expression. His face was as white as a sheet. When did he wake up? He was not supposed to be out of bed! “What are you doing here? You should be lying down,” I glared, going to hold his arms. I started pulling him back into the room and surprisingly there was no resistance from him. Amelia and Evelyn were just standing by the sides, unable to speak. He sat on the bed, looking at me strangely. “What were you doing with Connor?” He asked quietly. I pursed my lips, not ready to answer his questions. I knew he was thinking I had feelings for Connor. Stupid Alpha. I pushed him flat on the bed. He kept looking at me. “I think the first thing you should be asking is where is the mined lead since you almost died because of it,” I grumbled. “Were you scared for me?” He asked, groaning when he tried to move. “Stop moving!” I yelled in annoyance. He paused, eyes wide as he stared
Damian POVI watched her lips contour into a huge smile and she shyly tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. She looked very pretty, like a shy teenager as she did that. Stephanie cleared her voice, glaring at me. I ignored her glare. The woman before me was the prettiest person I had ever seen. Sprinkles of green passed through her eyes, drawing me in. “Well, I guess you can find something more appropriate for me,” she said shyly. “You do not need anything else. A thank you would suffice,” Stephanie interrupted the conversation. Anne rolled her eyes. I also resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Stephanie was doing too much and it was tiring. “Why don't you go and check on the mined lead Connor brought,” I suggested, wanting to be alone with Anne. Connor was also by the door watching us without a word. “But…” she tried to speak. “I have some things to discuss with her,” I told her, dismissing her. Reluctantly she stood up from her seat, threw Anne a glare before walking away
Leah POV I ran out, going as fast I could. When in close proximity, I was unable to think so I was running away from Damian and his seductive voice. Without even trying, he had seduced me. A kiss from him and I was ready to be his. What sort of man was he? I was never a cheap girl. It must be due to fatigue. Yes, that must have been the reason for my unladylike response to him. During the kiss, I also felt my wolf rustling within me trying to wake up from her slumber but I forced her back to sleep. I had to be careful around him. His presence always made her want out. My heart was beating loudly as I walked. Some men bowed as I walked past them but I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge it. It felt like I had done something extremely bad. I could not let Stephanie find out else I was dead meat. She would most likely try to kill me and I was not ready for that. I entered the house, trying to get to my room so I could take another shower. I wanted to forget how much my body m
