Damon
My eyes groggily opened as I sat up. I looked outside and noticed the sun slowly making its ascent. My father was getting weaker by the day, and if nothing was done quickly, he would die.My mind quickly drifted off to Roxanne; she was the answer; only she held the solution to this ailment.It had been years since I last saw her; she had randomly come to mind over the years, as we had an interesting childhood together, but I had foolishly asked her to leave the pack after I found out Mia was my mate.My decision had also caused a strain on my relationship with Whitney; as she avoided me like a plague every time we crossed paths. Mia had also cheated on me after I had devoted my time to loving her.I was told by my father that I only had to show love to my fated mate as she would be a gift from the moon goddess, so when I found out Mia was my mate, I was smitten by her, and with the way Roxanne was going crazy about it, I was scared that if Mia found out I had sex with her sister's friend, she would reject me, which made me make the irrational decision of asking Roxanne to leave the pack.But life is playing a gamble with me now. Mia had cheated on me after six years of marriage and also rejected me. Worse, she cheated on me with a guard with my mark on her neck. I also rejected her after I found out she cheated on me.As a penalty for cheating on me, the Alpha of the Moonshine Pack, Mia, was banished from the pack, while the guard was killed. The only thing that hurt me from the whole situation was that during the six years of our time together, Mia never got pregnant for me, and I still didn’t have an heir, not even a child to call mine.I sighed deeply. I had sent out men to look for Roxanne, and informants had found her among humans. I asked that a letter be sent to her ordering her to come back to the pack in a week, but she disregarded the letter and never responded either.Desperate, I decided the best option was to send some guards to have her kidnapped, sedated, and brought back to the moonshine pack.Leo my beta came over to inform me that she was tied up in the room. I had no option but to tie her up because the Roxanne I remembered was very stubborn and would escape immediately after she woke up.I strolled into the dark room, and when I turned my eyes on her for the first time in six years, I was stunned.Her skin looked fresh and delicate. She sat on the floor with her back turned, giving me a clearer view of her back. Her hips had expanded, and her hair was long and silky.I felt my heart twitch as my gaze fell on her."Roxanne," I called out softly.Immediately, she turned and saw me; her whole body stiffened in shock. I was sure she wasn’t expecting me to be her kidnapper.“Alpha Damon,” she called out in surprise.Immediately, I noticed her eyes darken, and her surprise was quickly replaced with disgust. She struggled to get up but landed flat on the floor again.I just stared at her as she wriggled to struggle out of the chains.“Get this off me," she said and spat at me. I couldn’t even be angry; I knew I deserved this and more.“Why am I here? I don’t belong here. Why send people to kidnap me and tie me up like a common criminal? Loosen me up now,” she yelled.I walked closer to her, ignoring her piercing gaze. There was no way she could escape if I didn’t release her.“We need to talk, Roxanne,” I said, and I proceeded to sit on the empty chair in the room.She kept quiet; I could see she was visibly worried and weak.“Say something,” I commanded.“I have nothing to say to you,” she said, sparing me no side glance.“You’re wrong; I need your help. You’re the only member of the Moonshine Pack with the power to help heal my dad. He was attacked during a wolf battle that happened last two months, and since then all efforts to treat him have been futile. I believe you can help,” I said.The next thing that followed was rounds of laughter from Roxanne. I was confused. What was funny?"Seriously, Damon, Oh, forgive my manners; it’s Alpha to me,” she retorted mockingly.I can still remember the day I told her these exact words. I closed my eyes and rubbed my nape in frustration.“I can’t help you; I am not your Luna, so don’t expect anything from me; let me go; I have something to return to,” she said, her eyes glaring dangerously at me.I just stood there, staring at her. I had never seen her so angry before.“What exactly do you want from me, huh? I was not good enough for you in the past; I didn’t even have a problem with you choosing your fated mate over me since it was a blessing from the moon goddess, but you sent me out of the pack!! You sent me out of the pack when you knew I had nowhere else to go.” She snapped and turned her back to probably hide her tears.I wasn’t going to shy away; I would apologize because I was wrong to just send her out of the pack that way."Please, Alpha, let me be. You must know already that I mixed myself with the human world, and I have several engagements now, including a man who loves me. I don’t belong here anymore. Let me go,” she begged amidst tears.I was confused; I didn’t know what to do. Sending her out of the pack was irredeemable.“Let me ask you a question,” she said, staring at me fiercely.“If Mia didn’t cheat and reject you after all these years, or if your father didn’t fall ill, would you have requested for me to come back to the pack?” She asked, looking at me intently.I didn’t know how to answer her question, and truthfully, if all was fine, I didn’t think I would have seen a need to ask her to return to the pack. But I am sorry now. I was sorry, and I needed to right my wrongs.I stood up from my seat and moved closer to her, but immediately I stood up, my wolf started chanting, “Mate, Mate, Mate.”.My eyes widened in shock. I mean, how is this possible? Was the moon goddess giving Roxanne to me as my second chance mate?Roxanne Twenty-four hours have now passed since I was forcefully locked in this room. I tried to get the chains off me forcefully, but my efforts were all in vain. God knows I’ll kill Damon at the slightest chance I get, and speaking of Damon, I didn’t know how to feel after all these years. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd be back in this pack, so I never made any plans.He just suddenly left yesterday in haste, like he had seen a ghost, and I haven’t seen him since then. That man was still a proper jerk. It didn’t look like life had been good to him; he had rough stubble and eye baggage. But I care less now as I have moved on; life was good to me, and I have a great career now as well as a man who loves me and my kids.At the thought of my kids, cold shivers ran down my spine. I didn’t want Damon to know we had kids together; he’d take them away from me. He’s a bastard and a wicked man.I needed to protect my kids. I wanted to get away from here, but only if there wa
Damon I stepped out of the healing chamber and groaned inwardly. My mind was a mess, and I was going crazy.After I found out Roxanne was my second chance mate, I quickly left the room. It came as a surprise to me. I never thought I’d be able to get a mate again, but here the moon goddess was blessing me with a second chance mate so soon. As if it couldn’t become any more shocking, my second chance mate was Roxanne, my childhood best friend whom I had ordered out of the pack six years ago when I discovered Mia was my fated mate.I was naive and scared that if Mia found out Roxanne and I had sex previously and had something going on, she would reject me, so being the jerk I was, I sent her out of the pack despite knowing she was an orphan and had nowhere to go.I sighed. How could anyone forgive such wickedness? I didn’t even care to check up on her all these years. I was a self-absorbed jerk; my relationship with Whitney had also gone sore because of that, but I never even made any
RoxanneI walked out of the healing room exhausted. I was so tired and sweaty. I had exhausted my strengths trying to use my powers to heal the Alpha’s Father, but all to no avail. My powers were locked, so there was no way I could heal the king. I had only managed to use a little healing trick my father had taught me when I was much younger to stabilize him a little, and he was in a better condition when I left the room.I took a deep breath, contemplating my next steps. I needed to act urgently if I wanted to get back to my kids and Kylian. I was already tired of being here. If I can remember correctly, the mating ball was just 2 days away, and I didn’t want to be here for it; I just wanted to go home.I took slow strides to my room and immediately fell on the bed once I got inside. I felt drowsy and just wanted to sleep immediately, but decided to just take my bath instead, as I was all sweaty. It was already midnight, so I just decided to go to sleep.Agitated silence.That was all
Damon I woke up the next morning very agile; the halls of the palace were quiet, and I could hear the birds chirping. The pack was worried about the health of my father, and I was worried too. It’s not like I couldn’t handle the pack on my own if push came to shove, but I didn’t want to handle the heartbreak that comes with losing a loved one. I got news from Leo last night that my father is now in a more stable condition, but he hasn’t fully recovered yet. Even though I was grateful for Roxanne’s effort in stabilizing him, I still wondered why she wasn’t able to heal him fully. Before her father died, he was known as the most powerful healer in all packs; he was even stronger than my father, who was still Alpha at the time, and he had passed some of those powers on to Roxanne. I kept contemplating if there was something wrong with her; ever since she came back to the pack, there was something so different about her, and I intend to find out what it was.I strolled to the dining roo
Roxanne I opened my eyes, and my cheeks heated and flushed. Even amid the embarrassing situation, I couldn’t believe Damon was laughing. I looked at him in confusion immediately he started laughing. Why was he laughing? What exactly was funny?The confusion in my eyes slowly turned to anger, and I was disgusted at the fact he had seen me naked. "Oh, Roxanne,” I muttered in my mind.Damon had a smirk on his face and a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.“Why are you here?” I asked in an icy tone.“Oh, someone is getting feisty; chill, Roxanne,”he said, still smiling.I felt my blood boil with rage. I wanted to transform right there and snap his neck away from his body, but I knew I couldn’t do that. My mind was a mess, and I couldn’t believe the fact that Damon had seen me naked. What did he think of my body now? Why did he start laughing? Oh God, my mind was in turmoil. I palmed my face and wished I’d just disappear into Kylian’s loving embrace.“I’m only going to ask one more
RoxanneI looked around the building; it’s been 10 years since I last came here, and I wondered what Moscow looked like now. I was so scared to step in because our last encounter had been a disaster.I had sworn to him that I would never step my foot in this place again, ever, but here I was 10 years later, coming back to the same place I vowed never to step foot on again for help.I heaved a sigh and pushed the door open, walking into the store slowly, like I was counting my steps.Although nothing much had changed from the outside, the inside of the building had an entirely different look. There were different stencils on the walls, and the interior design looked more beautiful than I remembered. It was looking more filled than usual; it seemed life had been good to Moscow all these years, and business was seemingly booming.There were so many bottles and so many portions around, and wrapped medicines were arranged everywhere. I spotted the "Nikkai,” a very powerful portion as well,
KylianIt was such a beautiful morning in LA. I got up from my bed, stretched a little, and proceeded to enjoy the beautiful view from my window. I stood with my hands tucked in my pockets by the window. The day had dawned bright and clear. Sipping lazily on my cup of tea, which was served minutes ago by the maids, I appreciated the beauty of Los Angeles. The sight was more spectacular this morning as a low mist covered the clouds, creating a beautiful sight. It’s been 5 days since Roxanne mysteriously went missing, and all efforts to find her were in vain.I had a gut feeling as to where she might be, but I didn’t want to mess things up. I was hoping she’d come back on her own, but it’s been 5 days now, and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. When she first went missing, I contacted the police to help me look for her, but there's been no positive response from them since then. I had a hunch on where she might be as there were so many loose ends, but I felt it wasn’t the right ti
RoxanneI hit the road immediately I was able to get the antidote from Moscow. I hope this works out, as I needed to get out of this pack. Being wolf bane was toiling with my mind. I couldn’t transform, I couldn’t use my powers, and I couldn’t even speak to my wolf, and being among other werewolves made me conscious of that fact. I hope this works out so I can leave the pack and return to Los Angeles, I already missed my life as a doctor.I returned to the camp following a secret route I found. I was very careful not to make any noise, as I didn’t want to raise suspicions.I thought about going to see Whitney to inform her I was back and how I succeeded in getting the antidote, but I decided against it and just headed for the healing chamber directly.I entered the healing chamber and found Damon’s father lying weakly on the table. It seemed his health was deteriorating quickly, as he looked frail and pale.I dropped my bag, and steadied myself, moving closer to him. I noticed he was s
