Damien's Pov

My chest felt like it was being carved open with a blunt knife. My wolf was fading in and out and I couldn't stand straight. My knees were buckling under me like I’d aged a hundred years in an hour. Every time I tried to hold myself upright, another wave of weakness slammed into me like a train. I was bleeding strength, and I knew exactly why.

She was using my powers.

Serena.

I should’ve been proud, right? She was out there holding her own against monsters. But the truth? I was not scared, Not for her but what she was becoming and what she was doing with the power I gave her by bond. I hadn’t claimed her fully and had not accepted her as mine in every way, and now... it was punishing me.

Zayn looked just as bad as I did, but he tried to hide it like I didn’t notice his hand trembling at his side.

“She’s fighting someone,” Zayn muttered as we stood outside Rune’s castle gates. “She Has to be. That’s the only time this drain happens. You’re losing strength because she’s u

    She wasn’t just fighting, she was slaughtering them Rogues, five of them, were lying broken on the ground. Some still breathing. Some twitching. One trying to crawl away and sobbing for mercy.And Serena? Her hands were glowing. Her claws were dripping blood. Her eyes… goddess help me… they weren’t her eyes anymore. They were mine. Green and burning. A wolf that wasn’t supposed to be that strong.She slashed another rogue’s throat before anyone could react.“Stop!” Zayn roared as we rushed down.Serena spun and her eyes locked onto us like prey. Her chest heaved with her lips curled and I don’t think she even recognized us or anything again.She raised her claws—toward me but.y wolf didn’t move neither could I .She took a step closer, her breath was ragged and her teeth bared, blood stained her neck and I braced myself. If she attacked, I wouldn’t fight her. I just couldn’t when I actually caused all this.But all do a sudden she stopped and Right there, she froze mid-step at my sig

    Serena’s POVThe next morning felt like I was walking through fire barefoot.The air was thick with whispers. No one even tried to hide it anymore and the maids talked like I wasn’t even standing there with my coffee in hand, like I’d gone invisible or worse—was already a corpse.“I heard she nearly ripped the Alpha’s heart out last night,” one of them said, scrubbing the marble floor like it personally offended her.“Someone should tell her to leave before she finishes what she started,” another chimed in with a snort.I gripped the mug tighter, not because I was afraid…okay, maybe a little—but because they were right. I didn’t know what happened last night. One second I was fighting rogues like a soldier high on adrenaline and power, and the next, I saw Damien standing there, and I... almost lunged.If it wasn’t for my wolf stopping me, I would’ve torn into my own mate like he was a damn enemy.I haven’t seen him since we got back. Zayn tried to explain what happened, even kissed my

    Serena’s POV I didn’t even try to wipe my tears anymore. What was the point? They just kept falling like my misery was set on a timer. My chest felt heavy and full but not with hope. It was filled with shame, confusion, and that painful choking sensation that reminded me I was cursed, even if no one said it out loud today. I thought I’d find peace in this stupid room, but peace didn’t belong to girls like me. Just as I slid to the floor and curled my knees to my chest, the damn door creaked open without a single knock. Because why would they knock? It’s not like I deserved privacy. “Wow! Crying again?” Elena’s voice cut through the air like claws across my skin. “You're really playing the victim today.” I didn’t look up, I didn’t have the fucking strength. “I Bet she's crying 'cause she overheard Daddy telling Damien to reject her ass,” Sloane chimed in like the bitter echo she’s always been. “I mean, who wouldn’t? If I were cursed, weak, and desperate, I’d cry too.” They both la

    Damien’s POVThe moment I saw Sloane’s hand make contact with Serena’s face, my vision went red. My wolf snapped, snarled and broke through every inch of control I thought I had left.I grabbed Sloane by the throat and slammed her back into the nearest wall. The echo bounced through the hallway like a gunshot. She gasped and struggled under my grip, and the fear in her eyes only made my wolf sneer harder.“Touch her again,” I growled, my voice low and tight, “and I swear on the grave of every Alpha this Pack has ever known, I’ll show you what a spineless rat looks like when its bones get rearranged.”Her fingers clawed at my wrist, but I didn’t flinch. I wanted her to feel it—the dominance, the threat and the bloodlust. She wasn’t Serena’s sister to me. She was a problem and I crushed problems.“She’s your sister,” Elena stammered in tears from behind, trying to pull my arm back. I didn’t even look at her.“She’s nothing,” I snapped. “You think blood means shit to me? You think your

    Damien's Pov.I could scent her fucking arousal in my brain which was more than enough to drive me crazy. I could lie to my self every day but I needed her, more than the fucking contract, more than the fact she was my mate. I shouldn't act this way but Serena came to my life and fucked all my senses, giving me a reason to protect, laugh, smile and he fucking horny in all my existence. It was too wild.“I still hate you Damien…” she breathe with a moan as my fingers brushed her cladded pussy and my cock twitched hard. “I know that baby, that makes it even hotter, don't you think.”“You're sealing the bond, that's not supposed to happen…why can't you reject me like them and let me go. You will find the perfect Luna Damien…you're so dangerous for me and so am I to you, I'm going to destroy you…” Tears slipped down her eyes in worry, pain and confusion but most if all she needed me. She was still dripping wet for me, my wolf was wild, thrashing with urgent need to drive me crazy. She's

    Serena's Pov In the sober light of day, this would probably seem like a bad idea. A stupid decision but right here, right now, I just want my mate even if it’s only for a night. I slide my hands up beneath the hem of his shirt, the ladder of his hard abs muscles rippling beneath my palms. Damien’s body is truly a work of art taut and toned, every sharp line well-defined. Dominant alpha energy radiates from his pores until it almost feels like it’s vibrating off him and right into me, feeding the inferno raging inside my chest and between my thighs. “Serena, fuck! I need you so much.” he growled and I tug at his shirt in frustration until he finally breaks our kiss long enough to yank it off over his head, tossing it away and slamming his lips over mine again. I run my hands all over his naked chest and arms as our tongues tangle, his own hands all over me. He pulls the front of my dress down and my bare breasts spill out, nipples pebbling up into sharp points as soon as they hit

    The slight curve of his dick hits that sensitive spot inside me that drives me fucking crazy, stars bursting behind my eyes with every punch of his hips. “Fuck, I need this pussy Serena.” Damien growls against my lips, licking a path down my jaw and scraping his teeth across my neck. His thrusts become savage, like he’s trying to imprint himself inside me so that I could never forget. “You're just as I imagined, baby.” His hands cover my breasts, squeezing and pinching my nipples until I’m falling apart beneath him spectacularly, crying out as my climax rockets through me. My back arches, thighs trembling and inner walls gripping his cock as he continues to pound in and out, fucking me through my orgasm. “Oh God, Damien…. yes baby!” It’s pure bliss, so intense that tears leak from the corners of my eyes, my body going slack against the mattress. As I start to come back down, Damien suddenly scoops his arms around my back, lifting me from the bed effortlessly and settling me in

    Damien’s POV I’ve always had a tight schedule but it was a different thing ever since I marked Serena. I had a lot to do for the Pack —cartels, shipment tracking, drug labs, fake IDs, bribes, the whole shebang is like a thing to do to keep the syndicate clean while the Pack thrives. And Serena? She’s become my damn obsession. The way she moans when I pull her hair while fucking her, the way her claws scratch my back like she owns me or the way her scent clings to my sheets and makes my wolf restless when she’s not near. Yeah, I’m insatiable. Call it what you want. Lust, need, addiction. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that she’s mine. Zayn walked in this morning looking like someone just took a dump on his breakfast. “Vincent’s gone,” he muttered. I didn’t even blink. “Good.” He blinked. “That’s it?” “That’s it.” “I spent three days tracking him, crossed borders, slept in a damn sewer—” “And I appreciate your commitment to suffering.” I sipped my coffee. “Now go get the

    Serena's Pov The silence in the car was thicker than smoke. Damien sat beside me, blood dried around his temple, his suit ruined, but somehow… he still looked like sin dressed in Armani.I could feel his power pulsing through me.It wasn’t just adrenaline or rage. It was real, Raw and alive. My body hummed with it, like a second heartbeat that wasn’t mine. And every time I looked at him, I could feel his pain, his fear and his obsession with protecting me, even when I didn’t ask for it.“You’re quiet,” he muttered, glancing over at me as the SUV sped down the road, leaving the burning warehouse behind us.“I just kicked a grown man off a rooftop,” I whispered, staring out the window. “I don’t think there’s a manual for this.”Damien chuckled under his breath, but it wasn’t playful, it was dark. “He deserved worse.”I turned to him slowly. “So this is what it feels like… being one of you.”“You’re not just one of us,” he said, eyes locking with mine. “You’re mine.”There was something

    Damien's Pov I yelled at Vincent and he smirked, pinned Serena to his body.Her hands were tied and her lips were trembling with her eyes wide and a goddamn gun was pressed to her head.I took a nasty step to meet him but that same moment, someone slammed a pipe into the back of my knee and I went down.A scream ripped out of her throat and I felt enraged not from the stab but where when stabbed me because it would be difficult to heal. I tried to get up, but another strike came and my ribs cracked. “Tsk, tsk, Alpha Damien. Look at you. On your knees for a woman.” Vincent smirked with smile whispering into Serena's ears.“I’ll kill you,” I growled, spitting blood on the floor.He chuckled. “You said that already.”“Touch her again, and I’ll skin you alive,” I snarled in pain, looking for anything to distract him while it fucking slowly heals.“Such a devotion,” he smirked, then waved to one of his men.The guy stepped forward with a knife.I lunged, even on my knees and half-broken

    Damien's Pov We had barely reached the warehouse when the wind carried the smell of smoke long before we saw the flames.Something felt off even before I left and I hated it. That eerie, cold twist in my gut. It wasn’t even about the fire. It wasn’t the silence on the line when I tried to call Serena for the fourth damn time. It was like my soul was pulling me in the opposite direction. I clenched my jaw, scanning the road as we drove. My wolf was restless, pacing under my skin, whispering her name like it was the only word left in the universe.I suddenly pulled the brakes hard.“Zayn,” I muttered, gripping the wheel tightly. “You need to go back.”Zayn’s brows pulled together. “We’re almost there, Damien. Don’t start.”“I’m serious. Go back.”“Why? So you can walk into hell alone? No.” He crossed his arms with his jaw firm.“Zayn—”“No,” he snapped. “This attack is mine too. You keep pushing me back like I’m some damn coward. I’m your Beta, not your bodyguard.”I slammed the door o

    Serena's Pov They all left in a hurry, rushing like any more second would make everything collapse.Before I could puzzle it out, a familiar voice made my blood run cold."Well, well. Look who's back."I turned to find my stepsisters, Elena and Sloane, emerging from the shadows of the corridor. They'd been suspiciously quiet all day, and now I understood why—they'd been waiting and plotting theirs as if it would be any different."Where have you two vipers been hiding?" I asked, instinctively taking a defensive stance.Elena smirked, tossing her long blonde hair over her shoulder. "Watching you ruin everything, as usual. You really are a witch, aren't you? Poor Damien isn't even thinking straight anymore because of you.""Fuck off," I growled. "I don't have time for your games.""Oh, we can't do that," Sloane purred, stepping closer. Her sleek black hair framed a face that could have been beautiful if not for the cruelty in her eyes. "Not when you've made such a terrible mistake.""

    Serena's Pov “I'll be back Damien, please just a moment with–”“I don't bloody care, don't fucking leave that door with Vincent!” He roared at me like a mad animal and my heart twisted, could he not think of it that way. I needed to talk to Vincent too, I need to confirm and set things right not to cause any misunderstanding and seeing that he was blind to all of that, I held Vincent's hand and walked outside l.The moment we stepped outside the mansion, Vincent grabbed my arm and shoved me against the rough stone wall. His eyes glowed amber as his wolf pushed to the surface, teeth elongating as he snarled in my face."What the fuck are you doing staying with Damien when we clearly had an agreement?" he growled, his breath hot on my face.I pushed back against his chest, refusing to be intimidated by his silky tantrums and fake concerns.. "It wasn't an agreement, Vincent. I was forced to say those things because of the situation and you freaking know that."His laugh was cold and hol

    Damien's PovI couldn't help the smile that spread across my face when Serena slapped Ivy so hard she toppled off her chair. My little mate had fire in her and it's precisely what this pack needed in a Luna. Watching her drag Ivy back up by that ridiculously expensive dress and threaten her sent a surge of pride through my chest. If only she'd hit her again."Please, Alpha," one of the maids sobbed, falling to her knees before me. "We don't want to die. Have mercy!"Another was hunched over a decorative vase, emptying the contents of her stomach. The sound of retching filled the dining hall as panic spread among them like wildfire. Their faces had gone pale, eyes wide with terror—all because they believed I'd poisoned them.Fucking Fools. All of them."Get up," I commanded, my voice cutting through their pathetic cries. "I haven't poisoned anyone."The room fell silent except for a few hiccuping sobs."What?" one of them whispered, voice trembling.I leaned back in my chair, enjoying

    Serena’s Pov My heart pounded in my chest as I watched Damien interact with the maids. The easy smile on his face, the way he laughed at their jokes, the casual touches—it all seemed so genuine that for a moment, I questioned whether I had misunderstood his intentions.“I meant behaviours for the benefit of this pack, don't worry please eat up.” He smiled but it was the fakest thing I've ever noticed"More wine, Alpha?" one of the maids simpered, leaning forward to give him a better view of her cleavage."Thank you, Lily," Damien replied smoothly, holding out his glass. His eyes flickered to mine briefly, and I caught a hint of something mischievous beneath his charming facade.When he caught me staring, his lips curved into a knowing smirk. I quickly looked away as heat rushed to my cheeks. This whole situation was making me uneasy. One minute he was declaring me as his mate, and the next he was flirting with the maids who had tormented me for months.What game is he playing? I wond

    Serena's Pov I didn't know what Damien was up to but I leaned against the dining room doorway, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of disbelief and growing unease. The maids who had been in the dungeon, especially the very same ones who had sneered at me now sat around the Alpha's dining table dressed in clothes that probably cost more than everything I owned combined."Look at her face," one whispered loudly enough for me to hear. "She finally realizes her time is over."Another snickered. "After all, why would the Alpha keep her around when he's chosen someone worthy of his status?"I bit my lip hard, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth with my wolf growled inside me. I shouldn't be standing her like this, I'm already tired of their rants and accusations thrown at me.“Keep calm”, I told my wolf This might be nothing serious.“Nothing serious?” my wolf scoffed. “ Open your eyes, Serena. Look around you.”The dining hall had been transformed. Crystal glasses sparkled u

    Serena I couldn’t breathe at all.The weight of his words to Ivy played on repeat in my head like a broken, cursed record. “Wear something nice.” My heart cracked again. No matter how I tried to push it away, that sentence kept clawing at me. Was that what he said to me the first time he wanted me? Was that all I was to him? A pretty object to show off? A fucking costume to undress at night and forget by morning?My wolf growled deep inside me. She was seething, pacing in fury. Ivy? That traitorous she-wolf? That plastic, wide-smiled seductress who once watched me get whipped and laughed?My claws almost pushed through my skin as I bit my lip to stop myself from crying out.I shot up from the bed, not even caring that I was wearing nothing but one of his oversized black shirts that barely reached mid-thigh. No bra. No slippers. My bare feet hit the cold marble like a damn storm. Let them stare, Let them see the supposed "Luna" of the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world march thr
