Dahlia’s POVPhilips drags me out by my hair, making a show to everyone on purpose. Ava drags her broken leg as she tries to follow us, leaving a trail of blood behind her.“Let go of me! Are you crazy?!” I struggle but that only worsens the pain on my scalp and tears burst out of me, “She needs a doctor! You can’t do this!”“I can, and I will,” Philips answers coldly before she pulls me up and shoves me out of the dorm building.The sun falls on me and instantly I burst into a scream as I try to charge back in. Everything begins to twirl, and I’m suffocating!Among all the dazzling colors, I see Philips's eyes flickering, like a demon from hell.She is mindlinking. Who is giving her order? Is she talking to Damon? So he can see me now? Twirling and twisting on the ground like a soaked dog?Philips curves her lips into an evil smirk before she ends the mindlink.“You are mowing the lawn today,” Philips says as she pulls Ava up by her arm, “As soon as you finish your work, you take thi
Dahlia’s POVIt's so enraging to see someone mimicking you with YOUR clothes in an awkward way!I watch in shock as Lola pastes her breasts into Damon’s arm, in the strapless, cleavage-leaking little red dress I wore to the party I ruined last time.Damon got her a new one. One that’s exactly like the one he tore in the little dark room!“You--”I stare at Damon in disbelief but then I understand his message--Everything special about me is his giving, and he can give any woman that at will. Like Lola.“Are you making her your Luna?”I ask Damon, knowing his answer before asking. Of course he is. It’s not like he ever wanted to give that title to me. I can never have that title. Even if he wanted to keep the mate bond, he would need a Luna eventually.I just didn’t think it w
Dahlia’s POVDays passed and I have never seen Damon again.Mostly because I can’t go out under the sun, and according to Ava’s gossip, Damon has been busy recently.At least that’s what I’m repeating to myself -- that he is just too busy to sort things out with me.Philips hasn’t forced any outdoor work on me again. I think she learned her lesson when she had to spend a whole day on fixing the lawn I ruined. She IS still piling up all the indoor work she can on me and Ava. I don’t know why Philips’s revenge has to involve Ava, but apparently, Ava didn’t need to get up around 5 to work till late midnight. But now we do.I don’t care about her bully that much now. Not after Ava and I started our secret mission -- patching up the red dress.Ava has been nagging beside my ear about how the dress would d
Dahlia’s POV“I told you she didn’t steal the dress! It’s the Alpha’s gift to me!” I pull Philips’s fat arm as she drags Ava all the way out under the dim rays of the morning sun, “Where are you taking us?!”My objection does little. Philips drags Ava by her neck, basically carrying her like a little chicken. Ava still has the dress in her hands, protecting it like it’s her baby. The sunlight chases us deep into the woods until it can no longer penetrate the thick fog of dawn.That’s when I see Lola. She is waiting for us.The dense trees lead to a small area in the heart of the dark forest. Though bare, the thick branches of the huge trees around shine little light on the thick layers of leaves covering the ground.Gloomy and deathly. That’s the place Lola chose for us.“Beta, she&
Dahlia’s POV“You are crazy! You are fucking crazy! She is one of you! I know you hate me but she is a member of your pack!” I jump over and take Ava in my arms as Lola walks over like a vicious snake fluttering its tongue!“Miss Dahlia...” Ava burst into tears and I bury her face in my chest. Her tiny body trembles in my arms.“Say you are sorry for helping the shameless slave!” Lola snaps viciously at Ava, “Apologize and stop helping her, then I might spare you!”Ava shakes her head slightly, hiding in my arms.“Say you are sorry! You won’t help me anymore! I won’t keep you as my maid!” I urge Ava, too. What’s so important about saying some words when your life is at stake?!“No...” Ava murmurs timidly, tears in her eyes, but still, she shakes her head firmly, &l
Dahlia’s POVWhat's wrong? Just about everything.I have been waiting for him for so long, yet at this moment, I don’t know what to say to him.“What are you doing here?” I ask. My own voice sounds surreal to me.Damon looks like he just finished a ten-mile run. His face a little flushed, and his shirt wrinkled. He is not even wearing a coat as he always does after I stabbed him.Damon doesn’t answer.He was bending over to search for my eyes, but when Damon’s cold deep blue eyes fall on the pale corpse beside me, he frowns and stands up straight.“Barke!” Damon raises his voice, yet his eyes nailed on me.With a light rustle from behind me, Barke appears from where Lola glanced at before! She sensed Barke’s presence and yet she still dared to kill Ava?!&nb
Dahlia’s POV“You believe him, don’t you?” I shout after Damon, he stops but doesn’t even turn around.“Why won’t you condemn me if you think I killed Ava?!” I demand Damon, my shout hoarse and desperate, “Your people died, wrongly and brutally, and you don’t even care?! Damon Hayes, do you not have a heart?!”Damon turns around, looking at me with a deep frown.“If you think I killed her, then kill me!” I snap angrily, “If you care about your people at all, you would look into this and see that Lola is behind all this!”“Dahlia, Lola is not allowed in the mansion since your last fight with her,” Damon says simply.“I just saw her seven fucking days ago! In YOUR arms!” I shout.Damon sighs with a tired look, after a few second
Damon’s POVA traitor inside the walls is plotting against your Luna-to-be.That’s what Lola told me.The delegation of the League requires tours of the pack, checking of my books, and finishing the “Alpha’s trials” within days. But I know that none of these can keep the title off my head, and they know that full well, too.My Luna-to-be is the real target of them -- the Alphas on the 13 seats that don’t want to bow to me.They know they can’t make me mark a random person, and they backed up a step --I will get the title of The Supreme so long as I announce my choice for a Luna. No mark is required, and no ritual will be done. Meaning nothing substantial needs to change. I can even call off the announcement tomorrow after I claim a random person.So long as I have a Luna-to-be tonight, the title
