“Are you going to send a letter or something? To let them know you disagree with their requests.” I asked after a few minutes of silence.“I would go there myself, I also need to find out who leaked information about all of this to them.” His brows knitted together in anger as he spoke, his fists clenched tight.“Hey, you know you need to take this easy, less violence,” I warned, guessing it might go smoothly if they talked things out than letting it result in fighting.“I’ll try, but it wouldn’t go easy for whosoever leaked information to them.” He said vehemently, letting me know he wasn’t going to change his mouth about that.“Lucas, send men to make investigations, we need to know who did this. Find the traitor.” I watched as he spoke to his Beta through mind-linking before standing up and heading toward the door.“Where are you going?” I asked, following suit.“To get ready, we leave in a few minutes.” He replied, walking into his room.“What? Get ready? To where?” I asked in utt
Bella’s POV I stared up at the wall clock, heaving out a deep breath for the umpteenth time, it was getting late already and he was not back yet, could it be things went wrong? I know I shouldn’t be bothered about this, he isn’t a weak one that could easily to defeated or killed, but I couldn’t help it at all. …what if this was a trap and they might be planning something really bad? I placed my palm on my face breathing into it. I hope he’s fine or I might just have to go find him. I stood up immediately I heard cars driving into the pack house and hurried out of the room, and down the stairs. I rushed out of the pack house just in time to see him step down from the car. “Damien!” I called, running up to him, suddenly wishing I could read my unasked questions. “How did I go?” I asked, looking up into his eyes, hoping to find answers. He did not reply but stared back at me for a few seconds before walking away, toward the house. Did something go wrong? I stared around in confusion
An hour later, I stood at the border of the pack I once lived in, leaning down on my knees, panting heavily. I stayed there for about five minutes, waiting to catch my breath before heading into the pack. Thankfully there were no guards at the border, well that was quite strange and a bit risky for them though. I found my way into the familiar streets, heading to my father's house. Nothing changed since I left, just the same quiet place. I ignored the stares of the passers-by, who recognized me, and kept my head up high. In a few minutes, I was standing on the porch of the house I once called home. I pressed my lips together, trying to suppress the emotional feeling rising in me. I took a step to the door and placed a knock on it moving back. I heard footsteps approaching before the door went open and Rowena, my step-sister, stood by the door staring up at me in shock. "What are you doing here?" She asked, pushing all expressions on her face away, probably trying to pretend she wasn't
The first place I rushed to immediately after regaining consciousness was Bella’s room and just like I expected she was out of sight. “Dang it!” I slammed my fist on the wall, cussing angrily. How could I have expected she was going to drug me, just to make sure I don't interfere with her plans? Her never working plans, she doesn’t know these people as I do, once an alpha makes up his mind it doesn’t change. But she’ll never listen!“You can’t be sure though.” I hissed out annoyingly when Dean spoke. Was there any need to doubt? I hate it when she acts unnecessarily stubborn, and now I am the one to get so worried. I tried to reach her through the mind link but it wasn’t going through, it was either she was deliberately ignoring me or she was unconscious, in the hands of those people.Hurriedly, I left the room heading downstairs in search of Linda, if they worked together she must definitely be around the pack house. I headed to the kitchen when I heard voices coming from there, she
It took about an hour before Damien finally returns to the room, he goes straight to the table, picks up a key and walks over to me, undoing the handcuffs. I flexed my arms immediately, rubbing my palm over my wrists as the numbness began to disappear very slowly. There were red marks around my wrists, probably from pulling my hands too much trying to release myself.Damien crouched down before me, kneeling on one knee and gently held my right hand, massaging the wrists carefully. He was being affectionate even though he was the one who caused it, I looked away feeling slightly annoyed."You mad at me?" He asked with a glance at me, before looking back at my wrist. I don't reply, taking my gaze around the room, looking for something else to focus on and not his face. When I didn't reply, he moved on to my left wrist repeating the process again. "You made me do that, you know?""You did not have to cuff me to the bed. It's disrespectful." His eyes widened when I replied but he shrugged
"Are you being serious?" It took a lot to stop myself from bursting into tears right on that spot."Yeah, you still I'd be lying." I wrapped my arms around him immediately, burying my face into his chest. Tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably but I dared not look up not wanting the women to see me crying. "Hey, it's fine," Damien spoke soothingly, rubbing small circles around my back. A few minutes later I sniffed finally engaging from the hug and cleaned the tears off my face before turning around to face the two women."It's nice meeting you too," I say to them, keeping a warm smile on my face."Hey, I have to go now. Lots of important duties are waiting for me." Damien whispered very close in my ears."Sure, see you later." He planned a small kiss on my lips before walking out of the packhouse."So, Luna, we have a lot of-""You can just call me Bella." I cut the blonde-haired woman off, with a smile on my face. Maybe that was something I'd never get used to. Calling me Luna? Sou
A few minutes after the coronation, Damien introduced me to a few very important guests whom I already forgot all their names, not like I’d see every day to have a chit-chat with though. As soon as he was done, I left him, walking through the crowds, and responding to a few greetings. There was something very important I’d been wishing to do and this was just the right time, the right time to put some people in their places. I walked into the foyer, heading to the kitchen where I guessed she’d definitely be. Just like I expected she was standing in the kitchen, munching on a piece of chicken while some maids stood beside her, their faces scrunched in disgust.“Nina.” She flinched when I called, stepping into the big kitchen. She cleaned her lips with a towel before focusing all her attention on me, though a big scowl on her face, as usual.“Bella, what do you want?” It's surprising she still doesn’t show any respect towards me, even after knowing I’d be her Luna and could make her dis
“Oh, our dear Luna.” We both stopped when a woman in a black dress stood before us as soon as we walked into the yard, holding hands with whom I assumed was her mate. “Hi,” I spoke gently, flashing her a small smile that disappeared almost immediately when something clicked in my head. “Oh dear, I know Damien hadn’t told you about us yet, he’s very forgetful sometimes.” She burst out laughing while I just watched, trying as much as possible to keep up with the conversation which I was not even a bit interested in. “I’m Myra, and this is my mate, David, alpha of the River Pack. Our pack is many miles away from here but we couldn’t miss the big show, not at all. Damien finally getting his mate and accepting her, after months of being a jerk, is a blessing to us.” A frown morphed when I recognized her. The woman among the guests at Lavender’s ceremony, the one brave enough to stop me and spit trash into my face. What a two-faced bitch! “Well, it’s nice having you here and I just have
