Leah POV
I couldn't believe what Damian had just told me. We were on the bed, cuddling under the sheets when he finally told me what was going on.
It was the last thing I was expecting to hear. What the hell was going on? My mind had gone blank because I was confused. How? Why?
I admit, I had thought about taking some gems and hiding them myself but I never planned on selling them. Maybe if I had to leave the pack, I would have sold them but I wasn't leaving. Who could be the one doing this?
“I didn't want to say anything because I know how heartbroken it would make you. You had been working extremely hard to make them these past few weeks,” he murmured.
I sighed and closed my eyes. All my hardwork had been stolen. It seemed I would have to use my magic to place a spell so we would be able to find the person. Damian wouldn't have to know.
“What are you thinking?” He asked when I didn't say anyt
Damian POVI hadn't seen Mr. Oscar for quite a while which I knew he was angry with me about. I had promised that he would only have to work for me yet I sent Marcus to him consistently for months. I could see the anger in his eyes and understood.“It's been a long time,” I reminded him. He nodded and waved one of his workers over. He whispered something into her ears before sending her away. All the workers inside the shop started leaving.It was one thing I liked about him. He was very secretive and one of the best people to do business with. He had been a very good friend of mine for years. I could tell he resented me for not caring about our friendship.“Who is this? I heard about your marriage to the daughter of an Alpha, I didn't expect it to be true,” he said while staring at Anne. It brought out the protective instincts in me and I growled at him. I didn't want anyone staring at her like that.
Leah POVI was so happy seeing all the ladies bundled in front of the shop buying my creation. It pleased me in a lot of ways. I had almost forgotten that I knew how to use magic because I haven't had any reason to use it.Gliding through them, I got in front of the saleswoman. Her eyes lit up in recognition when she saw me. She was one of the workers inside Oscar's office earlier.“Do you see anyone you would like to buy?” She asked, ignoring the other women. I shook my head because I didn't see any one special. She glanced through them and pulled out a bracelet.“This would look very pretty with your dress, milady,” she said with a smile. I hesitated to take it but she urged me on. I took the bracelet and wore it. Indeed, it looked really good on me.I didn't plan on buying anything though. “How much is it?” I asked.“It's on the house,” she answered. I couldn't
Damian POVI almost died watching that wolf attack Anne. Thank goddess Connor was faster and attacked him while I saved her. I kissed her, forgetting the fact that we were in front of others. She was safe, I told my wolf.Someone cleared their throat, pulling back to the present and I pulled away from her. Anne was breathing heavily, her lips red from the kiss. It looked lovely on her, as always.“You seem to have become more passionate,” Oscar cheered and started clapping vigorously. I glared at him, annoyed at his childishness but I was still embarrassed. I had never lost control like that.When I arrived and didn't see Anne, I panicked and ran to Oscar for help. His men immediately told me what had happened which was the reason I was able to find her so quick. I never thought I would be so scared and protective of someone at the same time.She was looking at me. I wanted to yell at her, place her on my legs an
Leah POVDamian looked so happy when I got downstairs. He was angry when we got back earlier but was suddenly smiling. Since he was still speaking with Connor and Marcus, I decided to wait and not interrupt them.When they left, I walked up to him as he was about to go back into his office. Sometimes, I felt he hid inside his office.“Someone is in a good mood,” I noted, making him turn to me. He shrugged but didn't say anything.“Have you been able to find her?” By her, I meant Stephanie. A large part of me had suspected her too but with no evidence, I could not tell him. I had planned on taking a piece of her hair one night to confirm if she was the one.Recently, she has been avoiding me. I hardly saw her either. Maybe that was the reason why we had not fought. She was my only suspect at the moment since I could not suspect Anne or any other female.I had no issues with anyone except h
Damian POVI couldn't sleep. I watched Anne as her chest rose up and down as she slept peacefully. Pulling the covers, I covered her naked body and stood up from the bed carefully.My wolf was restless and itching to come out. Maybe I should go for a run to clear my head. I was filled with worry and he could feel it also. There was no need to think too much when I would be getting help externally.I picked my clothes from the floor and wore them. The midnight air was chilly. I was a wolf and didn't feel the cold but it was better to be covered up and safe. I took one last glance at Anne, making sure she was still sleeping before walking out.I went downstairs and didn't see anyone. It was pretty quiet. A few times I had seen Connor but it seemed he was tired. I left the mansion, went to the fields and shifted into my wolf immediately.Finally, he was out. I stretched my limbs while enjoying the feel of the wind on my body. I was g
Leah POVI woke up before Damian and rushed out of the room. Was I running away from him? He had kept quiet and slept off after I panicked and pushed him away. It was unexpected. I never planned nor thought he would try to touch my face. I wasn't even aware my wolf could be seen. Hopefully he doesn't notice the difference. Stephanie was already beginning to suspect me, I could not let Damian do the same. It would be the end for me. I had to be smart. Since my wolf was becoming stronger, I guess I would have to weaken her again. She was already holding resentment towards me which I understood but I could not let her out. Maybe later in the future, I would. The stronger she became, the more my magic weakens. I couldn't let that happen now. As I reached the living room, Connor and Marcus who were speaking quietly, stopped when they saw me. Connor walked to me with apprehension; like I was going to hurt him. “Good morning Princess, are you okay?” He asked, glancing at my lips in conc
Leah POVDamian was walking towards me with a smile on his face yet I couldn't move. My body refused to listen to my will. Every hair on my skin stood. My brain was blank. I couldn't understand what was happening. Was this a dream? Maybe I might wake up soon. My heart started beating faster and my breath became heavy. I was beginning to panic. As they got close, Thomas saw me and a smile formed on his face. I couldn't take it anymore so I turned around and ran away. “Anne!” I heard Damian calling me faintly but I could not stop. It would be impossible now. I ran to my room, not Damian's room and fell on the bed. “Please let this be a dream,” I whispered the mantra in my head till I started saying it. Was Thomas back because of me? I knew Lucia had seen me that day. I knew it. I couldn't believe he would actually come here because of me. What crime did I commit in my past life to be going through such things? The one man who broke my heart and had me banished had come again, just
Leah POVI noticed Stephanie was not here. She was the only person missing amongst everyone. I wondered where she could be. As the Beta, she was supposed to be here, welcoming the guests.Which made me realize one thing. Did Thomas come alone without any guards?“We should move to the office to discuss, don't you think?” Damian asked him after they were done with the refreshments.“I think that would be better,” Thomas nodded, stealing glances at me. “We should speak as Alphas without the input of women, don't you think?”Damian raised an eyebrow at his words. He was not pleased. “My Luna makes decisions for the pack so I value her advice a lot,” he said and turned to me.“I'll see you later,” he murmured, kissing me on the lips before standing up. He left with Thomas, leaving Lucia with me. Marcus also joined them.What were they expecting me to
