Alpha Damien's POV I can feel this odd sense of peace flowing through me as I lead my next training class with some of my warriors.Walking through as they spar with one another to make sure everyone is top notch it just seeped into me. Looking around I wondered if it was from me, as I watched how strong and capable my men are only to close my eyes and feel Dahlia.After she dropped off some food for myself and the others, I assumed she would head back to the house again to continue helping in the kitchens. That was until I saw her with a few other women from the pack with a couple little ones. She went back to them then lifted a box before following them over to the school.Now this feeling pushing through my emotions tells me that she is feeling something she was worried about. That worry she's been trying to push aside at the thought that people would blame her for our predicament with Alpha Knight. Hopefully now, without just her usual crowd of people trying to reassure her tha
Alpha Damien's POV Continued The next few days seemed to just fly by. Between training, working with the new warriors, integrating them into our pack with my people and going over pack business I feel as if I haven't seen Dahlia at all.When I start my day she is still sleeping, then when I finally get back to our room to go to bed she's already asleep.She sneaks by the training grounds every day to make sure I eat lunch, then to my office to bring me dinner. Yet there is no real time for us through that.She has been busy with everything going on as well. Working with our female members to make sure everything is set up in the bunkers. Baking, or cooking all morning long with the kitchen staff to ensure that everyone is fed and taken care of.She has fully stepped into her role as the Luna of the pack. People come to her with issues that sheanages to take care of quickly and efficiently. Alexi has told me that Levi has settled in with her perfectly. They work in tandem with one a
Alpha Damien's POV Continued A silence sat around the woods. Not a sound could be heard. There were no crickets, no crunching of leaves from small animals scurrying along the forest floor. The old owl that would hoot every night I came out for a run wasn't even making his normal sounds. Instead the forest held an eerily quietness to it. Predators lurking in the shadows of the night making every living creature around run the other direction. Standing behind trees, hiding within the brush of night, staying unseen from the Moonlight that shined above. I waited. Breathing in deeply to catch a scent that was unknown to me as my guards stayed in their normal stations. Alexi waited with his father, my Uncle, along with Levi about a 100 yards behind me. All just waiting around for the inevitable to finally happen. Warriors lie in wait all around, covering every inch of our pack outside from where I am. Mikko feels antsy from staying still. His blood lust at full force. The
Dahlia's POV When Damien's words flowed through my mind my body went on high alert. Nose in the air as we caught different scents coming from the direction in front of where we stand. Hiding in the shadows along with Levi. Nudging him slightly in warning as he began to slow his heart rate down to almost seem as if it had stopped. Masking our scents as we waited so as to not be detected by any that may attempt to slip past us. 'You know if this goes in our favor...' 'There is no "if" Dahlia, this is going to go in our favor.' Shaking my head I smiled inside my mind. 'When this goes our way, you will be the Alpha of the Knight Pack.' He sighed deeply, making me turn slightly to look at him. 'You will be a wonderful Alpha Levi.' 'It always should have been you Dahl's.' 'No, I never wanted that. Being Luna, being with Damien, that's what I was always meant for. You are the Alpha that the pack truly needs.' He pushed his snout into my fur around my neck. Before we could spe
Dahlia's POV Continued I was so lost in the moments spent in that fight with Christopher I forgot about everything else going on around me. My eyes were locked down on his lifeless body, unable to find a way to look anywhere else but couldn't. He was dead. I killed the boy I grew up watching when I was out of that hell room away from the world. The boy my mother had said would be good for me if we were mated. The man I watched him grow into from afar only to feel the mate bond snap into place from across a room when we both came of age. I lost my innocence to him before catching him cheating on me on our wedding day. He's the reason I ran. It's because of him I found my way here, to this pack, to Damien. Now he's gone but I feel sorrow for the loss of him. Despite everything that happened, the anger, the hurt, the betrayal. I know I shouldn't feel bad, shouldn't hold sadness inside of me for what has happened, but I do nonetheless. Death wasn't what I felt he deserved, y
Dahlia's POV I was so excited, looking at myself in the floor length mirror of my dressing room. I was to be married today, to my mate. He was the Beta of my pack, the Knight Moon Pack. The pack is named after my family. My great great great grandfather was the first Alpha here, the man that put this whole pack together.He had triplet sons, all mated to one woman who gave birth to three boys, one with each triplet. Two of them left to start a pack across the country when my grandfather took over for this pack.He had a son with my grandmother, a long line of only boys in this family until my father had me. The first female to be born into the Knight family. He and my mother proceeded to have another child, my brother Levi, who is just a year younger than myself.Dad really never had much to do with me but was proud when he found out I was mated to the man stepping into the Beta position alongside my brother next year when he took the Alpha spot.We have to wait until he turns eighte
Dahlia's POV Continued Alanah would get quiet, like she was receding in my mind where I couldn't reach out to her. It made my heart rate spike as a sheen of sweat would form on me. Almost like I was having a panic attack while I'd get this odd feeling inside myself, in my stomach like a small ball of pain.It felt different today though, almost pleasurable at the same time it hurt, the pull stronger than before as I stepped down the little steps that led to the mirror. Slowly opening my door, I peered out into the hallway, looking from the left to the right as the pull got stronger than before.I stepped out of my dressing room, turned to the right and followed the hall down a bit before turning left into another hallway. I felt as if I was in a daze as I continued down. It felt as if the stretch of hallway kept getting longer, but I was just taking very slow, calculated steps as my heart rate would keep increasing.Something was wrong, then I took another step forward to see a door c
Dahlia's POV Continued I felt the tether snap, he fell down to his knees as he howled out in pain. His hand reached out for me but I knocked it away from me."Accept it Parker! Accept my rejection!""NO! I won't accept it.""Then you shall feel the pain every time I lay with someone, you will long for the bond you chose to hold onto as I severed mine."His hand reached back out to me, he begged me to take it back, but I knew why, without me he would become weaker instead of stronger when marking me. He didn't want me, no, he wanted the power and strength that would come to him by being with me.Now he will have to explain why I have rejected him, why I won't be here when they call for me to walk down the aisle.I turned my body, my dress swishing around before I walked out of the room, the Omega still cowering in the corner of the room as she witnessed it all.Slamming the door behind me I ran down the hall, back around the corner, passed my room to the double doors that sat closed at
