Ariana's POVAll I remembered was Damien getting shot and falling to the ground. I didn't care that Alpha Demitri had his claws under my throat; I wanted to get to Damien as fast as I could. In my pain, Sapphira took over my body, and darkness covered me. When I opened my eyes again, I was on a bed and Damien was staring down at me. I was glad Damien was alive and Alpha Demitri was no longer going to be a problem. After conquering Emerald City and Gold City and arresting Alpha Roland, we set off to Royal City. We went to Alpha Leo's apartment. It was at this place, I heard something that hurt my heart so bad. Victoria, Damien's former mate, was pregnant with Damien's child.So he did sleep with her after sleeping with me that night. I thought.I am human, she was of his kind, I wanted to act normal, and believe Damien's love for me was enough, but I couldn't. I lost my baby, and now she is pregnant. I felt my relationship with Damien was being threatened. "Hey, don't think about it.
Damien's POVI stared at Victoria for a couple of minutes and shifted my gaze to Ariana. She stood there in silence, but I could read the pain in her eyes."If you were not interested in marrying her, you shouldn't have put her in the family way. You must take responsibility for her," Alpha Leo said."She used witchcraft on me before. What is the guarantee, she is not doing it again?" I pointed out as the thought dropped into my mind."Damien, I pursued you before because I loved you. Very much, even if you don't believe me. That is in the past now. I did see you don't feel the same way about me, so I decided to move on the day I found out our mate bond was broken. I didn't expect this to happen. The night when I came to check up on you because you didn't look okay when you left your office was a mistake," Victoria said. "This is no witchcraft, Damien. I am indeed pregnant and you are the only man I have been with recently," she added and placed an envelope on the table. Michael move
Damien's POVEthan spoke first, and after he introduced me. I knew a lot of them had never seen my face before. Michael takes care of most of my public activities, and if I ever appear in public, I conceal my identity with a mask."Hello, I am Alpha Damien Dakota of the Westhills Pack in Royal City," I began. "I know you have lost your leader, Alpha Conri. He was my best friend. I offer you my condolences," I sympathised. "People of the Emerald City, we are one family, as you are also from the Westhills pack. The entire country is in crisis due to Demitri's rule. Our children are not safe, see where we are having a meeting," I began. "We need to stand and fight for what is ours," I went on."Demitri is just one person with a few packs who follows him out of fear. I came bearing good news. We have a white wolf. Now, what we need to do is come out of our hiding and take Demitri down. I can't do this alone. I need your help," I said. "Let's take back what belongs to us and gain our free
Damien's POVI was in severe pain after getting shot in the shoulder by the silver bullet. Gradually, my life began to fade away. I closed my eyes, believing this was my end. I had no strength in me. Darkness quickly covered me, and all I could think about was Ariana. Forgive me, Ariana. I couldn't protect you. I said in my mind before I lost consciousness. While in my unconscious state, I saw a bright light, which blinded me. The light slowly eased off, and I found myself in the same garden with the olive tree again. Your work is not done. Go back and save the city. I heard an eerie voice. I scanned the whole place, but all I could see was a bright light, which seemed to be stationed just a distance away from me inside the garden.Go back, Damien.I heard the eerie voice again, and something pushed me. In my attempt to stop myself from falling, I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in the truck again. I shifted my gaze to my left, and Ariana was being strapped in by Michael.
Michael's POVMy alpha had just been shot with what I believe was a silver bullet. I know this because it's not the first time my alpha has received a bullet from an enemy in business. He didn't even blink. He stood there like nothing had happened, but now, he is lying on the ground, bleeding out. Ms Brown was being held hostage by Demitri. I could read the pain with which she cried as Damien's life seemed to hang by a thread. I am going to shift. I will fight as many as I can. If I can't defend my boss, I may as well die. With this thought, I was about to shift when I heard a funny cry from Ariana. Her human voice, once filled with tears, changed to an ear-piercing sound. My hands quickly travelled to cover my ears, and so did everyone in the room. The room was suddenly filled with an eye-blinding light. When the brightness settled, I brought my hand down only to find Ariana holding Damien in her arms while sitting on the ground. Her tears sparkled like clear water hit by the sunlig
Damien's POVI so badly wanted to shift into my wolf. My eyes were already glowing red, and my wolf was on the surface. All the wolves surrounding me were beneath me in terms of strength. I can take all of them down easily, but that will leave Ariana defenceless. The only wolf that could match me was Demitri, but I had to think about Ariana. "Damien, Damien, it's nice to see you. You should have remained dead, half-brother," Alpha Demitri said."Demitri, I understand you have suffered, but this is not the right way to go about things. Your war is with me; leave these innocent people out of it," I said."You have no idea what suffering is. You had everything handed to you on a silver platter. You were born into riches, while my mother and I were abandoned to rot in poverty. Do you know what it means to go days without food? My mother was forced to marry another man, just to have someone share in the responsibilities. Just when life was getting better, you flew in from nowhere and kil
