LOGIN~Damon~I grabbed a seat and sat close to Pack mother. It seemed there was still so much she had to say.After I sat, Pack mother continued. “When her joints and bones ache, you must gently massage them. You must put her bathing water and make sure it's warm…. Rub her legs and her back when they feel sore until she's feeling better again… and also,” she paused, her eyes slightly twitching. “The most important one… you must never force her to fulfill her sexual duties to you. She must be willing, and you must be gentle even when she's willing and asks you to hit it harder—”“Um!” I coughed awkwardly, shooting up in my seat. “I think I've gotten enough tips. Uh… thank you, Pack mother,” I uttered hurriedly. My collar suddenly felt too tight. “Are you sure you don't want me to keep going—” “No no no… I've heard enough.”As soon as Pack mother left, I stumbled out of my office.“Gently… gently…” her words rang in my head as I half-leaped back to my chambers. By the time I walked in, A
~Damon~Hearing Aria reveal her pregnancy in front of the pack members left me crushed. I felt so hurt and betrayed that even my wolf shrank back inside me with an agonizing whimper.My insides burned as I acknowledged the congratulations and cheers from my pack members. After that, I stomped out of the hall angrily. But now, I have understood everything.It was all my fault. I should have never given her a reason to doubt my love and trust for her. She would always be my Luna and the only female I choose but with all that happened with Emily, I could understand why she did what she did. Truthfully, I had the feeling that something wasn't right. I always had the feeling she was hiding something, and a few times, I thought it was about our pup. But then, I could never bring it up to her. How could I, when she was feeling the pain of loss…I sighed, my attention pulling back to the bathroom where I was washing up.As for that damn pack doctor,” I sneered, “I'll cut off his limbs one
~Aria~As I was running after Damon, I fell.“Ouch!” I cried out.In the blink of an eye, a presence towered above me.“Can't you be more careful!” a familiar voice growled.Damon.“You should watch carefully where you are walking,” he muttered, his face covered in a thick frown as he pulled me up. My eyes rooted to his face, my chest thumping hard. But he wouldn't look at me. His jaw hardened and his forehead deeply wrinkled as he stared hard at my slightly bruised and dirty palms. “It'll heal quickly,” I mumbled, but he ignored me and began to wipe the dirt off.And still he wouldn't look at me, or say anything. Instead, his face tightened more in a frown.“I’m sorry,” I said again, this time forcing him to stop. He stilled, then after a second, looked up at me.“What are you sorry about?” he asked, his voice quiet but deeply soaked in emotions I could clearly tell he was trying to keep at bay. “For deceiving you…”He looked away, deep lines formed in his forehead. “You don't t
~Aria~The moment I walked into the pack hall, it erupted into pleasant cheers. Little pups ran into my arms, smiling innocently up at me. “Luna Aria, we missed you!” their voices echoed innocently.“My Luna, you look really delightful!” Bennie’s mom squealed as she waved from where she stood.“Oh my goodness! Such a beautiful dress, my Luna,” Aurora’s mom expressed delightedly. “It matches your smooth fair skin so aptly!”On and on, they went. Their mothers each had something heartwarming to say. Tears blurred my eyes as I stood there, nodding, waving and smiling. My heart was filled with joy. I never believed this day would come. The first time I walked through this hall, I got pitiful sighs and all. Fast-forward today, I was receiving sweet compliments that I never expected. I mean, I always thought they were good to me, but I never expected it to be this huge. Goddess, I was blown away. Visiting the Pack academy so many times was something that drained my energy but at the
~Aria~I ran. From the moment I came out of Emily's chambers. I could not hold it in. My eyes were heavily blurred, and tears, threatening to pour out. So I ran.Until I was alone on the roof top.As I leaned against the wall, sobs in torrents shook out of me. “I'm sorry, Damon… I'm so sorry… but… but there's really nothing I can do…”Back in the room, the hurt in his eyes nearly knocked my bones out. I didn't think I could look him in the eye, let alone be able to walk past him without my knees buckling… Goddess.It felt like my chest would explode from how tight it was. But then I had to save Beatrice, and this was my only way. I hoped one day he'd understand me. One day.“My Luna.”Beatrice. I wiped my eyes before turning. “There you are,” she said, guilt laced her eyes. “I didn't do it, my Luna. I swear on my folks’ lives. I never touched her jewelry…” she cried.“Beatrice,” I called, “you don't need to feel guilty… and I believe you. I know you didn't do it.”She gaped at
~Damon~“Hia!”“Hia!”Grunts and groans roared out from the training ground as I entered.I took off my coat, wore my metal finger gloves and marched to where the men were training.“Leave them to me,” I said to Xander and took over the training session. “You! Are your bones dead?! You can't even move your damn body!” I barked at the clumsy one. He looked like a five year old pup would run faster than him. Fattening up instead of bursting his arse training. Idiot.“And you! Panting this heavily after one session, huh? Can you defend your territory in this form?” Weaklings!The thought that they are responsible for guarding my pack territories makes me sick to my stomach. They looked out of form, unfit and too lazy to be werewolves let alone warriors of my Pack. “Three extra sessions for all of you. Don't leave until you finish every single rep,” I sternly told them before striding away into the training changing room. Inside, I sat on the bench. My chest heaved heavily. Soon, I
