Mating bond trouble.

8.

Damon's POV.

I could feel it in my bones. Something that truly felt like fear, mixed with regret. It was so strong in my heart that I could barely breathe.

I tried to ignore it and focus on the paperwork I was going through. The sense of fear in my heart increased and I had to clutch my chest from fear that it was going to rip out and burst into several tiny pieces.

What the hell was going on? I wondered as beads of fear clustered on my forehead, quickly drenching me till my shirt clung to my body. My body ached and I doubled over from how intense the pain was.

Even though I tried to tell myself that the pain was nothing but a mirage of my thought, I knew it wasn't so.

The pain I was feeling was the pain that came with the mating bond. It always appeared when one's mate is in danger and one made no attempt to do anything to rescue them.

How dare Evie make me go through so much pain? 

How dare a mere human like her make a man like myself experience hell on earth?

I stood up from the chair I sat on and made my way to the sofa. The moment I got there, I lay flat on it, with my stomach facing the sofa, just to try and ease the pain I was going through. That did nothing to alleviate the pain and I was left in agony.

"What the hell kind of trouble did she get into?" I asked myself, grunting as another bout of pain took hold of me.

This time, the pain sent an electric shock to my brain and I was left clattering my teeth together as a shiver ran through me. I hissed harshly and prayed for some kind of miracle to happen. Anything to free me from the misery my mating bond was putting me through.

I knew the easy way out would be me rushing to her side and doing my best to protect her. But there was no way I would give her the satisfaction that I would always run to her each time she was in trouble, knowing the kind of misunderstanding that could stem from that.

So, yes, I was going to ignore the pain no matter how hard and painful it was.

I didn't know how long I was like that but the pain began to recede. Whether it was because she was finally caught up in whatever danger she was in or she managed to control the situation, I didn't know and I didn't care. As long as I was free, I don't care what happens to her.

Finally, I stood up from the couch and made my way back to my desk. I barely sat on it when the door to my office opened up and I saw Miss Kardashian walk in. 

"Hello, Alpha." Her voice was sultry and I knew what she came for.

I have ger a bright smile, knowing that she would prove to be the perfect distraction I need from wondering what became the fate of the troublesome human I got involved in.

"Come," I beckoned to her. I chuckled softly as I watched her trying to race to my side just because she wanted to be with me. 

The moment she got to where I was, I pulled her down to my lap and began to caress her naked arms with my middle finger. She moaned softly, her body aching into mine.

That was what I love about the woman. She was always willing to satisfy my lust each time I requested for it.

I clasped my lips to hers and began to kiss her with so much intensity. My hand went to her chest and I grabbed her breast.  I squeezed it roughly and pinched the skin with my fingers. All through it all, Miss Kardashian didn't behave as if it hurt her one bit.

And to be very honest, I wasn't in the mood to care whether she was hurt or not. I just needed something or someone to distract me and she came at the perfect time. If having sex with her was what would make me forget about that woman and the possible danger she might be in, then I don't mind paying that price.

"You want to take this any further than just smashing your lips against mine?" Miss Kardashian asked me. She gave me a wink first before she pulled back a little and slowly began to unbutton her shirt.

I grew with lust as I saw her removing the button and playing with her exposed body. When she got to where her breasts were, her hands disappeared into the shirt and I watches with growing interest and manhood as she cupped those breasts and squeezed them roughly.

"Hmmm." She moaned to me. Her teeth bit her lower lips and she made this delicious face that makes me want to eat her raw.

I grew harder for her. I moved away from where I stood and went to her. My hands slowly replaced hers and I moaned from how soft and suppled her breasts were.

I was just about to lean down and take one of her nipples into my mouth when I felt a deep burning pain against my upper arm. Let out a groan and grabbed the place where the pain was gathered.

Much as I tried to ignore the pain, I knew there was only one reason why it would come back after it went away for a few minutes or two.

It had to mean that Evie didn't get away from whatever was after her as I assumed. That meant that she was in danger.

The mere thought of that made my heart heavy and I growled angrily.

I stepped away from Miss Kardashian. I turned around and immediately dashed out the door.

"Alpha!" I heard her scream but I didn't bother to stop.

Even though I hated to admit it, I had to admit that I was worried something awful was happening to her.

*Help!* I heard her scream into her head and I suddenly bevan very sweaty again.
