Damon's POV

“Emily!” I yelled in the corridors.

The palace was almost empty, it was night, and my voice was just coming right back to me, no response.

There was just one more confirmation I needed to make my conclusion.

I stormed to Dathan’s room, and opened the door without any further preamble. There was no need for it.

Dathans room was neatly put together, but deserted.

I had to do something, I also needed assistance.

“Farh?” I asked as I heard a grunt over the phone.

“Yes, sir.” He answered. His voice was very deep.

“Emily is missing.” I said. I didn't mean to raise an alarm. But my mind was already playing different types of scenarios.

I blinked rapidly, trying to imagine what she could be up to, but my mind kept failing me.

I was fatigued, but not just that, I actually didn't know her too well.

I thought about all the places in the palace she could be, cuddled up with Dathan.

Their absence couldn't be coincidental.

One sure would know where the other was.

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 21

    Emily's POV As I closed the door behind me, I expected the worst. I expected loud yelling voices, maybe the brawl would even escalate into their wolf forms. , My heart went out to Dathan, as I felt guilty for putting him in that situation. “I think we need to talk.” Damon's voice broke into my thoughts. I froze as I heard him. Somehow, I've had the guts to do whatever I wanted all the while, maybe it was adrenaline, maybe it was just the fact that I was beside Dathan. “I'm sorry.” I croaked. “Don't be.” He replied, with a wave of his hand. “I just needed air.” I added. “I hope you got enough?” He asked, looking at my face. I felt I saw a little smile creep up on his face. “Nearly.” I replied to him. “Why nearly?” He asked me. “You've been out for almost an hour.” “I'd need more than that to solve the puzzles here.” I replied to him, pointing to my head. “How do you feel about me?” He asked me. “I haven't had much time to form an opinion.” I said.

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 22

    Emily's POV “Hello, sunshine.” Damon turned and greeted me as soon as I opened the door to his room. Usually, he was still sleeping, or grumpy. He'd grunt and make all sorts of noises, without properly acknowledging me. I'd bear it all, telling myself that it was only a matter of time before he was out of his palace. But that Tuesday was different. I had on pink pants and a silky black shirt that Nala picked off the rack, using her discretion. I thanked her for it silently in my head as I paired it with the pink pants and it went so perfectly well. I packed my hair in a high ponytail, and put on some fancy bands with coral decors. I looked like the perfect PA, even I knew it. It's how I saw women dress online. I didn't know who I was gonna be working with asides Damon, I needed to make a good impression. “Good morning, Damon.” I replied, feeling a little bit uneasy. “You look pretty.” He said, smiling like a puppy. “Thank you.” I replied again, out of courtesy. “I'

    Damon's POV “We have two hours before going downtown to meet with someone else.” I said. Emily had been acting weird, and I knew why. “Okay.” She replied. I stood behind her, but close to her. We were going to the twentieth floor of The Damon Empire. The elevator ride would take about three to five minutes. “Do you have questions?” I asked. “Not really.” Emily replied. “Am I taking this job from someone else?” “She's interim.” I answered her, clearing my throat. It was the truth. “I don't know if I like the sound of that.” Emily replied. I chuckled. For someone as stubborn and strong-headed as she proved to be she also had a really soft heart. I just knew life with her was going to be very interesting. “You're mine, Emily. That's no one's job but yours.” Finally we arrived on the floor that housed my office. I had two prospective buyers coming in. We were thinking of expanding our exporting territories and so, we invited them to see if we can start sending oi

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 24

    Emily's POV “What does that mean?” I asked Damon, alarmed. I couldn't have heard right. It's not possible. I know I was still yet to like him, it didn't mean I'd be prepared for the bombshell he just landed on me. “What do you mean? Is that even possible? How? Why? When did you decide that? You had to lie to me saying we were meeting some other Alpha? Are you serious?!” I could no longer take control of my own tongue. Just a minute ago, I was content with being fascinated by the wonderful golden fishes that swam above us, little did I know that the biggest fish was me. I'd taken the bait to be led where Damon could do whatever he liked with me. “You haven't even heard what I've got to say.” He said, begging me to sit still. For some reason, we didn't have company, and I was grateful for it. Cause right after the outburst, came tears. Just when I thought my life was beginning to get out together, Damon decides to leave me. But that's jot how it works in packs, according t

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 25

    Emily's POV “So how did you guys meet?” Adrian asked, beaming from side to side. “Never saw her once.” The chic next to him quipped. Maybe she was one of those girls they groom to be Luna. It's understandable that she hadn't seen me in her space. I looked to Damon to save the situation, but he looked away. For a second, I questioned if that was the same person who'd just been begging to know me better. “We met not too long ago.” I started, swallowing hard. I was pressured to start thinking of all the sweet terms to coat being an orphan, shipped to the palace as a maid, and ending up as the Alphas contract wife right after Luna passed. “Oh, I know about that. It's been a while since Damon and I went on our vacations, about six months, and he didn't mention anyone special, talk less of someone he was going to marry.” Adrian said. He was a talker, which would have been good if the lady with hawk eyes wasn't trying to pry my skin off my bones with her eyes. “Oh, that's

    Damon's POV “What is wrong with you?!” I screamed at Emily as soon as the car door closed us from the outside world. “I don't think I know what you mean.” She replied, looking out her window. “I think you do.” I said to her, “And I'd very much prefer if you looked at me while we're having a conversation.” “I did not think this was gonna be a conversation.” Emily said. “I can't believe you.” I said. “How did we get here?” I asked “I'm sorry.” She apologized. I didn't expect it. She picked at her nails, and looked so hard at them while at it. But her calm was suspicious. Then I heard her sniff. “Babe?” I called out to her, passing my hand over her thighs. “I don't mean to be that way.” She added. “I know, I know, babe.” I put her head on my shoulder. “It just seemed like you weren't so proud of me.” Emily said. “Come on!” I rubbed her back, “That's not possible. You know it's been awfully long since I saw Adrian, I didn't know what to say and what not

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 27

    Emily's POV As I entered my room, I wondered why Dathan acted the way he did. I was gonna have to see him, talk to him. In truth, things had begun to get a little webby between us, but it didn't take away the fact that I was indeed Damon's. Nervously, I changed out of my work clothes and rang the kitchen for my food to be served in my room. If I'd thought about it quickly, I'd just have gone to sit with Damon at the dining, cause dining alone in my room was going to raise eyebrows. “Where are you off to?” Damon's voice broke into my thoughts. I snapped out of my reverie and looked back into the mirror I'd been staring at for minutes, before I blanked out. I could see Damon through it, one hand on the door handle, and the other akimbo. “You look dressed for something else.” He added. “I just thought I could, you know..” I stalled a bit, considering the pros and cons of telling him the truth, “I thought I could check on Dathan.” “But you've had a busy day.” He smiled and ban

    Emily's POV “Come on.” Dathan says weakly. “Why are you even mad?”. “I need my scarf as soon as she helps you up.” I said through my teeth, as quietly as possible. I looked at Zyna and forced a smile while at it. It's not that I was sad to see her, or angry or anything, I just would have appreciated it if Dathan had run it by me. “I never saw anyone so pissed because their friend showed up.” He chuckled. I gave him a very nasty look. So bold of him to crack jokes when I'd just risked my reputation to save him. “You know that's not why I'm angry.” I replied, picking my phone up in the most insuspicious way possible. “Well, now you have answers to the questions you were asking me.” He said, holding my hand then leaving it. I locked eyes with him, and tore my gaze away instantly. “Oh! And thank you for being here for me. I'd rather you not mention that I have seen my wolf to anyone in the house.” He said, another confidence I had to swear to. “Bye.” I said curtly,

    Emily's POV “You don't even want to hear me speak?” I asked. I was hurt, bruised, wounded. But nothing would stop my mouth, except if he gags me of course “It's not that I don't want to hear you speak, Emily. The problem is that you've been doing too much talking. In fact, you've been the only one talking since the beginning of his relationship and I think that's the only reason why we are where we are at this point.” Adrian said, like he was fact-checking me. I couldn't believe my ears. “You know what? I don't think you believe what you are saying, because if you did, you'd be able to look me in the eye and throw these accusations at me. But because you don't, it's easy for you to face the other side and say things like you don't know who you're talking about.” I replied. “Don't get feisty with me, woman. My boys are hungry.” He threatened. “And if they are, it'd be for your blood. Not mine.” I shot back at him. Adrian gave the most sinister cackle I ever heard. I wo

  • Alpha Damon And Emily, His Contract Luna    Chapter 111

    Emily's POV The shower was cold, or at least it felt so. The bread tasted stale. I got pissed at everything that was happening. I wanted to kick and punch and fight, and rant, and nag, and destroy. More than all, I wanted answers. Why am I the one all those things happened to? Couldn't I have gotten a better lot? Did the universe really single me out for all this punishment? I tried to wrap my head around how the future would look. It was from one scandal to another, between packs. The comment sections of the blogs online were killing me. Women were wishing they were me, others were thanking their stars that they weren't, the men bashed me and dragged myself and everything I stood for through the mud. “Who's there?” I asked, pausing my mental breakdown to focus on who was at my door. I booked a night at the hotel, and I knew my time was almost up, but fuck knows that I couldn't get out of there, not with the way I looked and felt. No answer came, but I didn't hear foot

    Emily's POV “I'm sorry, that's so unprofessional of me.” Sasha apologised. “It's human, not unprofessional.” I excused her. “Matter of fact, can we be more unprofessional going forward? I think I like that vibe.” I smiled. “Sure, Emily. Thankfully, there are no audio requirements from this session.” “Gracias.” I said. “Back to your story, darling…” She smiled. “What else do you want to know?” I asked. “How did you let a man take control?” She asked me. “Is that beneficial to this interview?” I questioned. “Maybe.” She answered. “Alright. Adrian and I got together just a few months after a very lavish party that was thrown in Mount Leigh. It was the talk of town for weeks, all three Alphas were there.” “I heard about that. “She acknowledged. “And how was the party, if I may ask?” “You may not. It was hell.” I said. “Back to Adrian then.” She moved on. “Well, he seemed cool. We had lunch at his house one day, and he seemed pretty awesome, my kin

    Emily's POV “Hello Emily, I'm Stacy, and I'm downstairs.” she said. I passed out a bit in the bed where I also scattered the contents of my purse. It'd been a long day, long week, long life! “Hmm, I'm coming.” I answered her, still sleepy-eyed. “No, you don't have to. Just tell them to let me up. I'd hate to be a bother that much.” Sasha said. “Uhm, okay. Can you give her the phone?” I asked. “It's a guy down here.” Sasha informed me. “Oh, yeah, please. Give it to him.” I said, remembering that it was a guy I met too. “Hi Ma'am.” He greeted me. “Hello, I'm sorry, I can't remember your name anymore. Please let her up. I'm Emily Baron, check that on your register.” I croaked. “Alright ma'am. Room service was in your room earlier, but you were unresponsive, would you like to have them back now?” He asked “Yes please, I could use some water.” I answered. “Coming right on. Have a nice stay, ma'am.” He said and handed the phone back to her. I cut the call,

    Emily's POV “I hate this life.” I said to myself as I stopped by Zac's house to pick the rest of my stuff. “I'm heading for Zachary's apartment.” I said to the doorman, hoping he'd recognise me. “Oh, yes I remember you. But Mr Zac is not at home.” He said. “That's fine, he knows I'd be coming to grab my things.” I said, in a rush. I also tried to hide the fact that I was getting a little bit fidgety. “I hope he didn't hurt you?” The man asked. I was literally at the verge of screaming for him to just let me go, but I saw that it was out of concern and experience, so I let him off the hook. “I really don't want to talk about it,” I said, smiling sadly. “I understand.” The man replied. “Policy is that you cannot be in over ten minutes, so I'd ask that you be quick.” “That will do. Thank you so much.” I said and dashed into the elevator. I know it was a little stupid that I'd do that stunt on my own, knowing that Zyna had access to his place, but I'm sure if anyone

    Damon's POV “How do you feel?” I asked Emily. We'd just ridden back from the hospital. Zac was to be operated on in a few hours, Adrian's diagnosis was out, and they found absolutely nothing wrong with him, but they had to watch him. “I don't know.” She replied. She sat still in her car, even minutes after she'd turned the engine off. I waited for two full minutes before she whined down the glasses. “That's normal.” I said, rubbing her hand. But she drew back suddenly from my touch. “Something is wrong.” I said. “I'll see you later, Damon.” She said, starting the engine. “There's no way I'm letting you leave like this.” I objected. “It's not up to you.” She replied, and pressed a button to shut her car glasses. I stubbornly leaned on it, and so the glass didn't come up. “I've spent way too much time in the gym for this to be a threat.” I boasted. “Emily, please tell me what's on your mind.” “My whole life is, Damon!” She yelled. “It's easier on you than it i

    Adrian's POV “What are you doing here?” I yelled as I saw Damon emerge. The doctors were still running around with their tails between their legs, trying to get a diagnosis for what was up with me. “I think I should be asking you that.”He said quietly. He stood in the doorway. “I thought I heard Emily's voice.” I said, ignoring him. “That's because she's here.” He said sarcastically. “Hello.” I greeted her as she forced her way in. “Why are you here?” She asked. “Aren't you here to see me?” I replied to her questions with mine. “I don't owe you that.” She said, brushing it off. “I had a crisis in the taxi I boarded, good guy rushed me here.” I explained. “What crisis?” She asked, looking frightened. “That's not why we are here, Emily.” Damon reminded her, pulling her closer even if she wouldn't budge. “No one knows. I started bleeding suddenly, and it stopped as suddenly as it started, but I passed out.” I explained. “Who's attending to you?! Yo

    Damon's POV “I think we should go and check up on Zac.” Emily said. We'd just had the best morning of our lives, at least of mine. “Why are you bent on ruining the fun?” I winced. “I'm not ruining anything, Damon. This is literally all we can do.” She chuckled. “I can't believe I let Farh see me like this” “Well, I can.” I said. “And you're sure that is not going to be a problem?” She asked. “With who? Me? Hell nah.” I answered. “Not you. You know who I'm referring to.” She said, “I don't think they're best of friends, Emily.” I assured her. “I hate to be on this side of things.” She sulked. “Isn't it too soon? Seeing as this is just the Beginning?” I asked her. “Beginning of our business together you mean?” She looked me in the eye. We were sprawled across my office floor, naked. “This isn't business. Why are you doing it?” I asked her. “Because I want to.” Emily replied. “I'll make sure to give that answer every time I feel this way.” I jok

    Emily's POV “This is not the conversation I expected to have when I walked into your office this morning.” I said. “Same. Although it's one I've always wanted to have with you” Damon smirked. “I would've wondered why that is, but then, I remember you're both possessive and manipulative. Something about seeing your exes thriving with other people irks the fuck out of you.” I shot at him “For the first time, love, you're wrong,” Damon said. “I have a wife whom I shared with the man I almost killed.” “That was against your knowledge, Damon. Don't act like you'd have let it happen if you knew.” I said. “Something else you've gotten wrong. You think I want Zyna to bear my heir?” Damon asked me. I looked at him wide eyed. I couldn't believe what he was saying. Worse still, I'd begun to imagine a million things. “Yet you pushed her to go get pregnant by another male?” I asked him. “I didn't. She wanted it.” He answered. “And you claim to have let it happen?” I ask
