Alpha Damien's POV Continued Suddenly I felt rage course through my body as I watched her tears streaming down her face. I wanted to go to her, comfort her, then go rip the head off of the one that caused her this pain she was in. Honestly the conflicting emotions I was feeling were starting to get me riled up inside. My wolf wanted to run to her, which made me want to do the same, yet I stopped myself from being so needy towards someone I'm supposed to hate.I tried to connect to her wolf, pushing out towards her yet was unable to feel her. She was there, unlike my first mate. I could tell she has one, yet, something was pushing her deep inside, making it hard for us to reach out to her. I could, however, feel the absolute pain that her wolf was feeling, not strong like it would be if she was at the surface, but a faint feel of it showing me that her wolf was in such pain that she was taking it so her human half didn't have to feel the brunt of that pain.My mind was racing at why
Alpha Damien's POV Continued 'Do you truly believe that she managed to come into my territory coincidentally?’‘Maybe.’As we came out from the clearing, I watched as she took in the sight before her. My pack wasn't exactly what the rumors spread it to be. Homes, gardens, beautifully paved streets with parks, a school, small businesses and people going around everywhere with smiles on their faces.Despite my horrible reputation I run this pack with kindness. Everyone is treated fairly and we work together as one. I may be their Alpha but I show them respect the way they do me.Her eyes lit up as she looked around at the town, watching the people as they bowed their heads while I did the same.She watched the children running around, playing, laughing. She looked over at them with a longing in her eyes that made me continue to question things about this girl.My Beta, Alexi, mindlinked me with questions about her, asking who she was and why I brought her all the way into our pack.'Yo
Dahlia's POV Mentally I was slapping myself in the head for opening my big mouth. One thing I am still trying to learn is to think before I just blurt shit out.Usually I have Alanah to help me curb my speech, but with her basically hibernating to work through the pain she is taking away from me, I spoke out again without thinking first.Why did I mention the dungeons? I don't want to be in there, suffering in the cold dankness of a concrete room, caged like an animal. Not that I know what his dungeons may be like, but that sure is what ours are like.Cold, vile places that smell of death and rot. Basically the scent of a rogue stuck inside darkness that will chill you down to your bones.My heart was racing, I could feel it as it pumped harshly in my chest, slamming into my ribcage at the thought of what my father would have done if the tables were turned.A female of a high ranking from this pack, crossing our borders, she would stand no chance. He would have either killed her inst
Dahlia's POV Continued I followed Lottie through the house, wanting to admire the luxurious feel of it but decided to keep to myself, only looking ahead of myself as she led me to the grand staircase.Looking over I can see that there were two different ways up to the landing that led to more stairs that went in opposite directions. It was beautiful to see the marble carved with what seemed to be vines with roses.Nothing like I'd ever seen before. My father's pack house is bigger than this but the layout is completely different.He has it set up more like an internal apartment building. Single wide staircases that lead up to the second and third floor, with rooms set up on the first floor for families of warriors that directly protect our home. Further down the halls, in the last apartments live Omegas that work in the house that are yet to find their mates.The second floor is for all the other top ranks, Beta's home, Gamma's, Delta's, head warrior. Multiple places for each in case
Dahlia's POV Continued I walked around the room a bit after Lottie left me alone in here. Running my fingers along the books as I admired them. He had quite the collection of classics, as well as some steamy stuff as well.I had heard the rumors he had a mate, but she had passed away, I wondered if maybe those were her books. I didn't think an Alpha would be interested in reading such things.I stopped at the door that was supposed to lead to his bedroom. Sliding my hand along the door as it settled on the small doorknob. I felt my heart fluttering in my chest as I became overly nervous.Shaking my head I pulled my hand back, wondering why my body seems to react to him in this way. Maybe because of everything I just had been through. I have heard that women tend to have transgressions with another male after a rejection or a loss, as a way of numbing the pain they are experiencing. Could that be what it is? Am I seeking some type of comfort, even if it is from the one man that I sho
Damien's POV I closed the door, leaning against the wall as I took short deep breaths trying to collect myself.Between her scent, then seeing her like that, the way her legs stood there on display. Following up to the way those garters sat there against her soft looking skin. Trailing up to see her small white satin panties, the way they barely covered her, yet did manage to cover her just enough so it left a bit to my imagination.Her soft looking skin, I wanted to dig my fingers into as I held her body flush against mine. Wrapping my hands around her small waist. How is this small stature of a female a damn Alpha?I can sense her though, I know she is one, her scent so strong, the aura she gives off without her wolf even being up front and present. She's an Alpha without a doubt.As my eyes continued to follow her body I landed on her breasts, they were bigger now without that damn corset digging into her, hiding the actual size of her. Her waist was still small but those perfect
Alpha Damien's POV Continued "Let me know the instant you hear anything, anything at all."Thinking about it, my men will be caught, they hold a scent no matter how hard they will attempt to mask it."Actually, Alexi, call them back, I'm going out there."His eyes went wide as I stood up before starting to walk back from around my desk."You can't be serious! You can't go over that way, what if they...""They what!? They won't catch my scent but they could catch theirs. I do not want my men at risk of the likes of the Knight's when they don't have to be.I'm headed out now so call them back this minute Beta."I saw him flinch back a bit but I didn't have the time to worry about his feelings, or about how on edge Mikko was when I knew the shift would help put him at ease.As I left the packhouse, I looked up to where her window sat without thinking. Staring up there I felt a flutter before shoving it back down, turning, then heading into the woods.Once I shifted I started running thr
Dahlia's POV When he left the room my body was vibrating. His closeness made it hard for me to breathe, but I was unsure if it was out of fear or arousal.I had felt Alanah starting to stir once again, but she wasn't answering me still. Disappointment set in but in a flash it was gone knowing that just feeling her right now was enough for me.I can still feel the pain in my heart, something she took the biggest hit from, so I can only imagine what pain she is coping with right now.I tried to tell her reassuring words, anything that may help her heal from her heartbreak. Knowing I lost Christopher was hard, but she lost her mate as well. I wonder if he is okay? Maybe he fully regrets what has happened. I just can't get over the fact that he has been continuously sleeping with others while sleeping with me.I gave myself to him. I was so proud to find out we were mated. I knew that it would also calm my father's worried heart to have me be the Betas mate.His fear of me coming for th
