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
Damian POVThomas kept rambling about how great and rich his pack was. We had agreed to assist each other in the letters yet he didn't bring the necessary men I expected him to come with.He did say they were on their way, so I guess I just have to trust his word. I glanced at the window, tuning out his blabbering. What was wrong with Anne? I could tell she was hiding something from me.Earlier, she had been rude to Thomas and his mate. She looked at Thomas like she was angry at him, although he was sure they had not met each other. Thomas was also surprised by her words.“Which is why I think we would be a great fit. As two wealthy packs, we would be unstoppable,” Thomas said eagerly. I sighed and decided to reply him.“I understand but you came unexpectedly. You should have informed me at least,” I told him. His unexpected presence was not accepted by me even though I had no choice than to accept him.
Thomas POV“Lucia,” I called her, trying not to show how angry I was. She had one job. Bond with Luna and make her trust her, yet she couldn't do it. She didn't know how to cook, what made her think she would be able to impress the Luna?She hesitated and I growled at her indecisiveness. The man beside her, took a step forward, pissing me off.“Lucia come here,” I ordered her. She bit her lips, but walked forward slowly. We needed some privacy yet we were not being given one.Stephanie walked forward. “Follow me, let me take you to your room,” She motioned for me to go with her. Taking one look at Lucia, I followed her guidance as she walked, with Lucia following behind us.She took us to a room and opened it. “It was rather unexpected so this is the only available room for now. I would make sure to get one that suits your standard very soon,” she explained.I glan
Leah POVI woke up to Damian cuddling me tightly. His warm body felt like the best blanket ever. He was huge with muscles all over yet I love how he felt on my body.Slowly, I pulled away from him. His muscles tensed up and he pulled me back into the bed. Glancing at his face, I could tell he was still in deep slumber. It was also the early hours of the morning.I didn't want to wake him up but if I was going to make the potion I wanted, then I had to leave now. Damian would not let me go if he knew where exactly I wanted to go. He was super protective of me.I lifted his hands, pulling my way out of his embrace and stood up from the bed. Finally, I could leave. I went to the bathroom to wash my face, did my business, and came out.Our clothes were discarded on the floor, beside the bed so I picked them up and threw them into the laundry basket. I went to the closet, pulled out a long dress and wore it before leaving the roo
Damian POV Thomas' expression changed. I didn't want him getting the wrong impression of Anne so I tugged her arm, pulling her away from him. She followed me quietly and we went to the room. This place seemed to be the only place where we could speak freely. “What's your problem with Thomas?” I raised my eyebrow. I could tell there was a grudge, one Thomas may or may not know because Anne didn't behave like this despite her temper. I expected it of Stephanie but not her. “I don't like him,” she grumbled, wrapping her arms around her chest with an annoyed expression. “Is there any particular reason?” I walked to the bed and sat down. After waking up and not seeing her, I panicked for a moment. Now that she was here, the knot in my heart had been untied and I could breathe better. “He talks about women in a demeaning manner,” she grumbled again. I could understand her. As a princess, she must have had her fair share of arrogant men, especially Alphas. Thomas was no different. He
Thomas POVDamian nodded, a smirk forming on his face. He seemed to think I was shocked about the mined lead. What shocked me was his gullible self. How could he bring someone to his factory like that?As an Alpha, he should not trust anyone yet he made the first mistake as soon as I told him about an alliance. This was why he was unfit to lead this pack.But he was smart, I'd give him that. I would never have imagined that he would hide his pack. If I didn't find out, I would have thought his pack stayed in the mansion due to how big and beautiful the mansion is.The blacksmith bowed to me before turning to Damien. He had a strange smell. I couldn't smell the pack on him which was strange. Don't tell me…The blacksmith was a rogue. How hilarious. I stifled the smile trying to form.“Alpha Thomas, this is John, the blacksmith,’’ he introduced us. John nodded in acknowledgment. He didn't look p
Leah POVLucia was different. She tried her best in getting close to me, I could see her efforts and even when I tried to push her away, she refused to leave. I glanced at the blacksmith's shop to see Damian and Thomas speaking.Evelyn brought the files of the factory to me. I had not gone through them for a while and needed to take note of every gem.“I wish I could do something like this in my pack,” Lucia said while I went through the documents. The amount of gems produced yesterday had already been recorded, making everything easier for me.Tessa was beside me, waiting for me to ask her whatever I couldn't understand. She still had the mindset that I was still very new to all these.“You should leave with Tessa. Tessa, why don't you show her around?” I asked her. Tessa looked at Lucia with uncertainty written all over her face.No one wanted to be with the visitors. I was sure Thomas must have be
Damian POVAnne dropped the arrow and I picked it up and looked at it. When did the attack turn to using archers? I must be dreaming. Glancing around the woods, and yet seeing no one was really annoying. Thomas stood by my side, waiting for my order but I couldn't say anything. I stood still. Whoever had shot the arrow was still in the woods and closer than we thought. With a little bit of patience, I would be able to find out. Suddenly I heard a little rustling of leaves by my right side and I took off, running towards the sound. Thomas followed me. I had not seen anyone yet but I trusted my instincts. A wolf suddenly jumped out of the tree and started running. I caught the scent of her and frowned. It seemed familiar like she was a member of my pack. It motivated me and I increased my pace. Did that mean that there were moles in my pack? She kept running, jumping all the fallen branches and moving south. It was indeed a member of the pack. No one knew all these parts of the word
