Damien Seeing Katana locked in an embrace with another male under the oak tree filled me with a burst of jealousy that threatened to rip me apart I stood off to the side, my eyes fixated on the couple as they kissed passionately. My wolf was pissed. So pissed that I had to control it, but my heart ached with longing as I watched them, wishing it was me in her arms instead. I’d returned from work earlier, itching to see my mate, and at the same time, filled with conflicting emotions. My friends had warned me about getting too close to her, but I couldn't help the way I felt no matter how hard I tried. Sometimes I wondered if it was a mistake letting the omegas in. Before coming downstairs, I headed to my unborn baby's almost completed nursery. I stood in the doorway, taking in all the details of the room. The blue walls with white accents, the white wooden crib, and the matching changing table all blended to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Anysia didn't want the gender of
Katana I rushed inside the house, the rain, cold, and unshed tears following close behind me, and sighed at the warm atmosphere of the living room. My eyes searched around for Zayn, hoping he wouldn't probe me with questions. The room was lit by the soft glow of the fireplace, casting shadows on the walls. Some omegas were huddled together in the room, chatting animatedly and enjoying the warmth of the fire. I approached the fireplace, feeling its heat on my skin and breathing in the smoky and earthy scent of the burning logs. My mum caught sight of me standing beside the hearth and she eyed me from head to foot with a frown. "What were you doing out there in the rain?" Without saying anything, I shrugged my shoulders. Her frown disappeared, replaced with concern. "Katana, are you okay?" Another nod. "Come on now, you can tell me," she prodded, not believing my silence. The sound of the rain tapped against the windows. I blinked back tears, trying to keep my emotions in
Damien's POV At the morning run, my eyes searched for Katana among the group of omegas. They still looked uncomfortable under the scrutinizing gaze of the higher-ranking werewolves. I took a mental note to address this issue, it was unacceptable for anyone, especially the omegas. They needed to feel safe. Katana was nowhere to be found. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was always there, even in my dreams. The knowledge that we could never be together was a constant weight on my chest. Xena ran beside me, her breath heavy with exertion. "Dude, what's with the long face?" she asked, her tone lighthearted. "You look like a storm cloud is following you. Did someone steal your favorite ice cream?" I rolled my eyes, feeling a knot form in my throat. "I'm good, thanks for noticing.” The sun beat down on us, making us sweat and our breathing became heavy. Xena wouldn't let up, "Come on Damien, what's wrong? Is it the Omega girl?" Slowing down, I sighe
Katana's POV Sitting on the cold bathroom floor, I sobbed quietly as I tried to come to terms with how fucked up my life had become. Damien had rejected me in front of Anysia, his girlfriend, and she had treated me like dirt, laughing and calling me names. Shame and anger filled me as I hugged my knees to my chest, trying to calm myself down. "Oh moon goddess, please," I begged, tears streaming down my face. "Take away these feelings for Damien and help me love Zayn, my boyfriend, instead. I don't know how to move on from Damien if my heart still belongs to him. Please, I beg of you, grant me the strength and the love for Zayn that I so desperately need." Whenever I tried to imagine a future with Zayn, all I could see was Damien's face. Frustration and despair filled my heart. How could I move on from Damien if my heart still belonged to him? My mom knocked on the bathroom door, calling out my name. I quickly wiped away my tears and tried to compose myself. I didn't want her t
Damien My pack mates had shown resistance towards accepting omegas, but the one that pissed me off the most was earlier in the morning, when they stood holding placards, gathered outside my mansion, staging a protest for the banishment of the omegas. Their reasons made my lips thin in anger and despite the rage I felt, I managed to remain civil. "They must go! They must go," they yelled, their voices heated and they continued their process. I stood aloof, my figure towering from the patio that led to the second floor. I was displeased by the behavior of my subordinates, my frown deepening with every complaint they voiced. Apart from having a new vision for the pack, one that included the acceptance of all members, omegas included. I couldn't imagine Katana out of my sight. "Enough!" My voice boomed in the pack hall, silencing the chattering masses and daring them to defy me further. "You are all aware of what is at stake here," I continued, my tone deliberate and measured
Katana's POV The sun peeked over the trees in the distance and I sprang out of bed with a fluttery feeling of anticipation and tingles all over my body. Racing over to the bathroom, the door was slightly ajar, and I pushed it open to find my mum standing beside the sink with a warm smile on her face. "Why are you so excited that you are starting school today," she chuckled, washing her face. Joy bubbled in my laugh and shone in my eyes. My mum's smile broadened. "Oh Mum, you don't know how long I have longed for this day to come. Imagine how our lives would be after I got my diploma. I could go to college and better our lives. I’ll become a robotics engineer and make sure you never lack anything." My mum rested her back against the wall and watched as I stripped down to my bare skin and hopped into the shower. "You know that Damien is doing all of this for you, don't you? He has helped the Omegas because of the mating bond you share with him." My heart lost rhythm and a ghost o
Damien's POV The aroma of Pemmican, a dish made from dried meat, melted fat, flour, and molasses, filled my nostrils, making my mouth water in anticipation as I joined the others at the dinner table. Someone in the background played the Rebec, a medieval instrument shaped like a pear. The soft melody filled the room, creating a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Anysia's eyes glimmered with delight as she rubbed her pregnant belly, thoroughly enjoying her pot pie made from chicken, potatoes, and carrots. I was glad she was healthy and the baby was doing fine. I savored every bite of my food, quietly enjoying my meal while Leo and Grey laughed about something I wasn't interested in. Isadora sat across from me, her fork hitting gently on her glass of water. "Guys, I have an announcement to make." Lifting my head, I stared at Isadora, waiting for her to speak, wondering what she had to say. Leo's smile widened in approval while Isadora threw back her head and let out a great pe
Katana's POV My wolf's pointed ears twitched as I sensed Damien's presence nearby. Then I saw him, an Alpha in all his glory. His thick, shaggy fur shimmered under the light of the stars. Was I hallucinating? Or did Damien's wolf look this perfect? How could someone be so perfect in his human and Wolf form? His gaze was as soft as a caress causing a tingling in the pit of my stomach. Fear kicked in, the fear of being alone with this Adonis. I searched anxiously to be sure that no one else was watching us and tried to keep my fragile control but my stomach was clenched tight and it was impossible to study my erratic pulse. It felt as though my very existence was at his mercy. But as he approached me, a primal feeling of hot, raw desire washed over me. My poor wolf was wet with need, having an overwhelming desire to bury my nose against his skin. My claws tingled, was it because of the electricity between Damien and me or did I overuse it? A sensuous light passed between us. In
