**DAMIEN'S POV**
During the entire time she was unconscious, i was not feeling okay. I was not being myself like i felt uncomfortable. I knew what was wrong my mate was in pain so i would feel it indirectly. Even my beta asks me if i was fine, i just made sure i evade it. I went to the hospital secretly at night to stay near her because she will heal faster if i am besides or close to her.
I was so elated when i was told she getting discharged the other day. So we will be going back to my pack today. Cayden is so happy to take his mate away from this place that gives her nothing but pain and misery.
She rejected her pack, way too courageous for her wolf, cayden was howling happily the moment she did that.
Both our wolves have been getting along these days but i... I don't even know how to strike a conversation with her. Urrghh! So bad.
I mean my parents do tell me how sweet a scene is when you meet your mate. The male will be like "MATE" and then t
**DAMIEN'S POV**Nicole has been uncontrollable this past few days that she arrived. She kept asking the date for her Luna ceremony and when we are going to get marked. Blah blah blah. Urrghh! So frustrating. She keeps behaving like she is the luna already.I had told my parents about the so called marriage alliance between us......FLASHBACK......"What of your mate?" My dad, Alpha Derrick, asked."I am not going to reject her." I said , almost growling at the thought of rejecting Ciara."So when is the luna ceremony?" He asked."In three months' time." I said and left.*******END OF FLASHBACK*******"You are not marking Nicole." Cayden said in my head."I know, i know." I said tiredly, pinching the bridge of my nose. I am really tired.She has been finding it hard to adapt to the new environment. Most times when we will see each other, she will keep her head bowed and be like "Good day, Alpha Damien", i j
**CIARA'S POV**"Tavia, what the fvck?" I shouted at her. I am now naked right in front of Damien.Damien was also naked."Gosh! He is so huge." My horny wolf, Tavia, said.My body is full of scars, he kept scanning through my body and i could see that he was angry with his eyes changing colors. He went behind a tree and brought some shorts for himself and shirt for me. He wore the shorts and he handed the shirt over to me. He did not say anything, he just left leaving me confused.I sighed. When it was not like we were on speaking terms. The scars always find it way to ruin my day.I stood up and went back to the pack house. I went straight to the kitchen and saw Hudson."Hi." I said as i entered."Hey, Ara." He said calling by the nickname he had sought for me. He even said that it was Damien that said it. I was flustered."I want to train." I said to him. He raised his eyebrows at me."I am not the one to give
**NICOLE'S POV****Two days to the Luna ceremony**"My plan is working out perfectly." I said joyfully to Melissa on the phone."Is it your plan or my plan?" She asked."Yours, mine, anyhow." I said, smiling.So in two days, i will be the official luna of silver moon pack. Gosh! So overwhelming.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in." I said."Hey, Melissa, i will chat you up later." I said hanging up the phone.I turned to see Damien walk in and looking so serious. He was also furious though.Why? I don't care."Hi." I said smiling and standing up from the bed."Don't you care about your mate?" He asked suddenly.Why is he so hell bent on this mate of a thing?.I mean we could mark each other and love each other then when we meet our supposed mate, we reject them, so simple."I don't care." I said matter - of - factly."Why?" He asked."Because he did not search for me sin
**NICOLE'S POV****The Luna ceremony day**"Hey." Melissa's voice boomed into my ear as i picked my phone to answer her call."Hi." I simply replied."What happened?" She asked."Nothing, just nervous." I said."Oh, girly." She said behaving like my mum."I am on my way, okay?" She said and cut the call.I so much missed my parents.My brother said he could not come as Eunice was heavily pregnant so i was the only one, but Melissa is coming to help me out anyway.I went shopping to get some new clothes and changed my wardrobe. Even though i had suggested that my soon to be mate, Damien, should go with me instead he gave some flimsy excuse saying he was busy with the pack work. I didn't want to start an argument with him so i let it go."Why am i feeling so restless?" I thought."Lora, what's happening?" I asked but she did not reply."Nicole, i am here." Melissa said as she opened the door.
**CIARA'S POV**A month after the Luna ceremony...The past one month has been really hard. I mean i had to see my mate introducing Nicole as his mate and Luna wheareas i should have been the one. It hurts.Hudson has been helping to kill off boredom but it does little or nothing as i find myself thinking about Damien.Damien told me he won't mate with her, so i was relaxed. Because if he mates with her, i would feel unbearable pain, like several needles being pushed into my skin. But at least, he was merciful.Well for the past weeks i have been practicing with Hudson and sometimes with Damien. I noticed sometimes that he goes easy on me and other times hard..............FLASHBACK..............."I want to practice with her." I heard the voice i had always heard from afar and had always wanted to feel near my ears, whispering things to me, behind me. I turned around in a flash.His voice caused some butterflies to erupt in my
**DAMIEN'S POV**"So tell me about yourself." I told her. She turned to look at me."Well, i go by the name Ciara Acacia Jones, as you know. I am twenty years old and the first child of my parents, my parents are late." She said."Which means there was a second child." I said, kind of a question.She gulped dryly."Yeah, my mum was carrying the child in her womb before she was killed." She said."Who killed her?" I asked."Rouges." She replied.I was surprised that she was not shedding tears. I mean if it were to be other people, they would have filled up a bucket with their tears."Why were your old pack treating you like that?, i mean you were always bowing your head and don't eat with the pack members." I asked because vengeful eyed pack won't just pick on someone unnecessarily.Her eyes begin to glaze with tears, but she kept blinking back the tears."Um... You don't need to answer if you feel uncomfort
**DAMIEN'S POV** "Hudson, report to my office right now." I said through the mindlink. * * * "Hey, man." He said as he entered the office. In a flash, i had his throat in between my hands. "Hey, Damien, what are you doing?" He said as he tried removing my hands which i tightened even more. At this time you could my eyes kept changing its color. "Stay away from her." I yelled in his face. "From who?" He said not getting what i meant. Cayden is so angry right now , i mean Jace provoked him. "Who else?' I said to his face. "Ci.. Ciara." He choked out. "Yes." I said. "Okay, okay." He said surrendering. I let go of him. "Hey, you need to calm down, you could have killed me." He said in dramatic manner. Gosh! Where did i get such a dramatic beta from? I told the moon goddess that i needed a Beta that would make everyone cower back in fear the mome
**CIARA'S POV**A MONTH LATER...It has been a month and a week since Damien left. I missed him so much. I missed Cayden's gossip about Damien. I chuckled at the thought.I have been able to make some friends lately, it was hard at first but gosh it feels so good to have people who could make you laugh, you know. There is this lady named Maria, wow, she is a cook and she can talk like, gossiping about her mate. Gosh she is so funny. There is another lady named Rose, this lady is so obsessed about boys, she tells me about how many guys have laid with her and how many she is planning to lay with, like what the actual fvck! , but i like them both. And there are others like Damien's parents with Hudson's parents. They are very welcoming.Nicole has been trying to make me look bad in front of the pack but guess what? They did not spare her a glance. I mean there was a time where some of my friends were like, why does she behave like some proud peacock?, i just
