I glanced at Claire and then at Zania, who nodded her head at me. Without uttering a word, I began moving towards Claire, who was already walking out of my room. She was mad. I could tell from the way she spoke to me earlier and the way she was walking away. I couldn’t keep up with her pace. Claire is tall. She is a beautiful definition of a perfect creation. I am nowhere compared to her with my short legs. “Are you stupidly this slow or you are trying to make me talk?” Claire flared. She stopped and turned to look at me. How is she expecting her to walk when she is so fast? At least, I know the road to Alpha Damon’s quarters. It doesn’t matter if she gets there before me, but then, I am trying to avoid a lot of things that will bring problems to me.She is the last person I want to get on her nerves. I know my presence riles Claire up, but there is nothing the both of us can do about it.I do not have anywhere else to go to and she can’t send me away. “I’m sorry,” I apologized an
After his assertion, I couldn’t say anything to him. My words will betray me if I choose to.We worked for another thirty minutes in silence until we were done. My wrists were hurting from holding the papers for too long. I watched as Alpha Damon arranged the papers, dropped them at the side, and stood up. I did the same too! “You did great today,” he praised, walking towards his bedroom. Since he didn’t ask me to follow him, I stayed in the same spot and waited for him to come out, which he did. “Thank you” A small smile crept on my face at his compliment. This should be the first time he has complimented me since I got here and it does feel different. He walked around the room for a minute before turning to me. “Why are you standing? I didn’t ask you to do that” he narrowed his eyes on me. I bit my lips, moved forward a bit, and slowly sat on the bed. If there is nothing else I am doing for him, shouldn’t he ask me to go? “Are you getting along with Claire? I hope she is treat
DAMONMy hand clutched tightly to the chair the moment Olivia was out of my sight. My breath echoed through the silent walls of my room with my chest heaving painfully. This pain hasn't occurred in a while, I was wrong to think that the pain must've gone completely. My wolf groaned in pain and hissed loudly as he curled tighter into me I tried moving from my position but with each step I took, the pain intensified, leaving me growling in torment.Tiana, my mate, and I were poisoned three years ago by an unknown person. I still haven't gotten a hold of the perpetrator. The power of the poison instantly took her life while I survived but I now have to live in pain for the rest of my life given the fact that the cure has not been found. For three years, I have been living with the pain of losing my mate while struggling to live. No one has been able to identify the kind of poison that was used on us even after proper examination. The only person who knows how I can get out of this m
OLIVIA My bulging eyes snapped at him after comprehending his statement. “What?” I asked, hoping he'd repeat what he just said. Are we doing a strip show? How can he ask me to strip out of the blue? “Why do you like making me repeat myself? You heard me clearly, Olivia. Strip!” he scolded with a little howl. My wolf juggled inside me, pushing to take control but I refused. Seeing that he wasn't joking around, I absentmindedly bit my lower lip as he folded his hands while staring and waiting for my next action. Without saying anything, I followed his instructions and began removing my dress until I was clad in just my underwear.A surge of cold watched through my body, making me cover myself. I was embarrassed to stand naked in front of Alpha Damon. I know he has seen me naked but this is a different thing, the fact that I don't know what he wants to do made me feel nervous. He stared at my body for almost a minute, as if he was examining it. I couldn't explain the look on his f
OLIVIAAlpha Damon’s laughter rang in my ears. His laughter made me forget about my embarrassment for a moment, he is anything but cold to me. The fact that he laughs in my presence gives me goosebumps since it's something he rarely does. “Good morning, Olivia. I guess you slept well” he said, standing up from the bed. I nodded my head in response as I stared at him with the corner of my eyes, he was still in his shorts. I don't know why he took off his clothes yesterday if he was not going to get too intimate with me. All he did was to give me pleasure but never received one back because he thought I looked exhausted. “What are you thinking about so intently?” he asked with a furrowed eyebrow and grabbed his towel. “Nothing” I stammered. “Prepare to take your bath after me, or do you want us to go in together? It wouldn't be a bad idea” he teased with a smile on his face. My face turned scarlet red at his attempt to make me flush. If that was his thought, he succeeded. “I will d
DAMONI walked around the new construction in the pack, supervising the work they had done so far. I am constructing a new building for omegas. A lot of pups have died within two months due to cold and lack of shelter. Omegas deserve to have a good life too, they might have the lowest rank but they are not slaves, at least, in my pack. I am trying as much as I can to make the pack conducive for everyone since we are family. A part of this building will be used to accommodate the omegas while the other side will be used as the military camp to enhance security in the pack. A war can break out anytime and we don't have enough manpower to protect ourselves, just like five years ago. Many of my people died in the hands of Reed Pack not because we were not strong enough but because we were not trained. If that sort of mistake happens again, then it will be my fault. The only thing we can do to help ourselves is to gather enough male wolves and train hard. No one prays for a dispute
DAMONIt was as if everything beside me stopped for a moment as a wave of cold hit my body upon hearing Luca's last statement. “What? Why are you just telling me that now?” I yelled, threw the book I had been holding in my hand away, and made to leave. Whatever Luca just revealed sounds untrue but now that Olivia is involved, I just have to believe him, he would not lie to me. I trusted Claire and loved her genuinely as a good friend of mine. Why would she poison me and my mate? Tiana was so nice to her to the extent that people thought they were sisters because of how close they were, so why? Why did she do something like that? “I already sent the guards to follow her, they must've apprehended her by now. Let's go back to the tower” Luca responded. My blood was boiling at the highest degree, and each step I took hurriedly back home aggravated my anger. I felt scared, disappointed, and betrayed. Claire had no reason to hate either of us. Was keeping her close to me a bad idea? I
DAMONFor a minute, my legs were frozen to the floor, my heart was beating faster than normal as fear crept into me. How did I not see this side of Claire all these years? Has she always been like this? Slowly, I walked up to her and grabbed the collar of her shirt. “Where did you keep Olivia? What did you do to her? She's only a young girl, she's not even an adult yet. Why would you hate her?” I hollered“You were keeping her too close to you and it was bothering me,” Claire said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my raging nerves. “If you were glad that I survived, why have you not done anything to take the poison out of my body?” I walked closer to her. “Because I can't do anything about it, the poison in your blood. The only way you can get rid of it is by replacing your blood with another” I would need to replace my blood. “What kind of poison did you use?” I growled. “That does not matter. Olivia will be good for the job, she's young and agile. Killing her wi
