Dahlia's POVWhat was I expecting? That he might be a miracle after my pack was destroyed? That he can be my savior when I lose everything? I guess our mind IS oblivious. Just because he threw me a gift or two I thought I was cared for, I forgot that I had lost everyone that did care about me.I have no one now. No one but myself.As I'm buried in self-loathing, they are having a great time as if nothing happened."So, where did you find yourself such a stunner?" A guy shuts me an explicit wink and I bury my face deeper."How dare you!" Another laughs at him, "He wouldn't even let anyone see her if today wasn't--"Alpha Damon clears his throat and the guy pursed his lips with a grin."She's not your true mate, is she???""No way! A mate for THE Hades?...No way!""Definitely! She's the first ever to move into his mansion!""Tell us, Damon!""Yeah, tell us!"I close my eyes, only hoping this moment can get over with faster.Did they not see what just happened?! Would the Alpha treat me
Dahlia's POVLola takes her drink for a sip, her eyes landing on the glass like it suddenly grows so interesting that it catches her full attention. But her ears are burning red."I never had anyone before, and it has never been a problem." Alpha Damon grunts in frustration, ignoring the man's suggestion altogether.I literally watch embarrassment replace the anticipation on Lola's face."That's because you are showing a good attitude with your mate-hunting visits! Which you stopped!" The guy huffs, also in frustration. I think he is some elderly of the pack -- as in, some high ranks who served the Alpha before Alpha Damon, and is now retired.Though I didn't know the devil himself would have mate-hunting visits -- to visit other packs hoping to find your true mates. I laugh at that image."That's amusing to you?" Ignoring the elderly, Alpha Damon lowers his head at me, looking into my eyes as if he really cares about my opinion, "Sounds like YOU want to be my Luna?"And get imprison
Dahlia's POV "You want a transfer? I never knew you were interested in the Alpha's title, Lola." Alpha Damon frowns, apparently shocked at the fact that his No.1 fan suddenly wants to leave his side. When an Alpha's land grows too big, they divide part of their land to their betas for closer control. Sometimes they would grant those lands to a beta to be a new pack, if the beta's performance at the land really stands out. "I'm not, Alpha. You have my forever loyalty," Lola shook her head with a sorrowful smile, "I just feel like you don't need me by your side anymore, and I thought maintaining this piece of land is more valuable to you than me being your little tail." Little tail my ass! I would have believed her if she didn't bash her eyelashes at him saying these words. If only she had a tail it would be wagging crazily right now! I knew they had a thing! "Nonsense. You are of great value to me." Alpha Damon sounds displeased and then I realized Lola's plan-- She lost the Alph
Dahlia's POV "And this is how you beg?" He rubs his chin with the back of a finger lazily, a dicky smirk on his lips. I grip my fist to fight the urge to smash a bottle on his head. Apparently seeing through my mind, he laughs. "Tell you what, I'll give you the land if you please me." Alpha Damon waves the file tauntingly before he drops it on the sofa with a loud slap. He stretches his arms on the back of the couch and opens his legs, waiting for me. He wants my service as his sex slave, in front of everyone, to trade for my broken home. I hate! I hate so fucking much!!! I hate everything but I don't have a choice. I move my legs but they are heavy as if made by lead. Inches and inches I get closer to him before I kneel between his legs. He cocks his eyebrows, watching with an evil smirk. Someone whistles and then many join. The room instantly boils again, lit up by my personal humiliation show. Close my eyes I bite the bullet and reach out for his belt, but then he catches
Dahlia's POVI failed.I'm not sure whether I even touched Justin's lips when a painful sting occupies my whole mind--Alpha Damon grabs my hair and pulls me away, dipping my head backward deep, my throat exposed. I scream in pain, only to meet the Alpha's anger-twisted face as I reach back for my hair. He won't let go."Alpha Damon, that's no way to handle a woman!" With a serious tone, Justin frowns and walks up to save me. Alpha Damon grabs the back of my neck to dodge him, but at least the sting on my scalp is gone."This doesn't concern you, Vaccaro, but it can!" Alpha Damon warns Justin coldly.I shake to Justin. I don't want to get him involved. I feel bad enough using him to hurt Alpha Damon as it is."Care about him already?! Maybe I SHOULD involve him then!" Alpha Damon glares at my move, pulling my face close with his iron grip on my chin.He's so angry his chest is heaving like an angry sea. His pupils shaking hard as if he's going to bite open my throat. In tears I curse
Dahlia's POVHe was so savage that night I couldn't walk straight for three days.Without a wolf, I can't even heal.He is finally tired of me. If he saved me because he liked my body, now even that urge is gone. He hasn't shown up in the mansion since that night. Three days now. This has never happened before. He takes me every day, sometimes even many times during a day.He left on that night after he scourged me into a mess. He didn't even stay till the morning. He hasn't been doing that for a while.He hates me to the extreme now. Who would like a pricky pet when there are so many tame ones waiting?I just don't understand why he hasn't thrown me back to his savage wolves. To let them continue the crime that was cut short three months ago.To let my fate fall back into the hell it was heading into."Miss Dahlia is resting," Ava's voice rises right outside my door, "Please, you can't go in--please! This is the Alpha's room!"Barke is raising a fuss outside my door, but Ava's last
Dahlia's POVLola licks her canine like a hungry animal, but I know I won because she is hesitating."You are only a slut that stole his attention, for now!" Lola hisses viciously, "He has many before you, and there will be many after. You know who will remain on his side? Me!""Let me guess, because he loves you? Is that why he's not with you?" I snort with sarcasm. He might adore her more than others, but he doesn't love her. He loves no one. That man doesn't have a heart."That's right," Lola answers in a dreamy voice, genuine pride glowing in her eyes, "he keeps himself at distance because he is afraid that he might hurt me."I suddenly pity the girl. She's obviously driven lunatic by her tormenting desire for her Alpha."You wouldn't understand," Lola shakes her head at me, "His father killed his mother with bare hands. He doesn't claim me only because he worries that he has the cruel blood of his father running in his veins."I roll my eyes impatiently, getting tired of the gir
Dahlia's POV"I knew you were bold AND stupid, but to hit a grown wolf?" Alpha Damon leans on the door frame with a cold smirk, his arms folded in front of his chest, "I guess you are bolder and stupider than I thought."Lola bursts into laughter.I grit my teeth to not show my pain, hiding my dislocated wrist in my other palm."Give me," His eyes land on my wrist, Alpha Damon holds out a hand to me and I back away a step by instinct. Even this irritates him.Striding over he leans into my face, his voice low and dangerous: "If I want to hurt you, do you think you even have a chance to resist?"No. If Lola can tear me up, he needs only his Alpha Aura to put me in excruciating pain. I lower my eyes and bear my neck to submit, and he snorts coldly."What happened?" Alpha Damon asks Lola with a frown."She said she doesn't like other women in the house. I guess I feel hurt and talked back..." Lola answers tamely, genuine sorrow in her voice. I want to applause for her brilliant acting.
