DAMIAN'S POV
āLuca, Drive straight to Victoriaās homeā I said to my driver immediately I hoped into my car after exiting from the humans filled hospital.
āYes Alphaā He said as he ignited the car and it accelerated.
Scrolling through my phone, I frowned with disgust and anger immediately I saw a post on the rouges blog which was about the election. I canāt help the spark of anger that cursed through me at this particular time to the extent that Alaric, my wolf growled angrily.
āWhat is wrong Alpha?ā Luca asked.
My anger only intensified with this question. āYou donāt ask me silly question!ā
I yelled angrily.
āSā¦sorry Alphaā
I hissed in disgust for what he just said but who cares about his apology now?
On the Rouges blog just now, was Alpha Brianās campaign photo. Brian who was the rougeās enemy now had a fan page on their blog.
Another spark of anger and jealousy rushed through me. We are both contesting for the Alpha King of Regal Pack this was because, Brian and I were the only Alphas who were touched by the moon gooddess. And only an Alpha that was touched by the moon goddess could be the Alpha King.
Brian was my cousin but we never had a good relationship based on the fact that we are both going to compete for the Alpha Kingās position.
Just yesterday at the campaign, the Pack members strongly oppose to have an Alpha without a heir or Luna. Neither of us had a Luna nor a heir but Brian could outshine me in that level because I have known for a long time that my swimmers (Sperm) are weak to fertilize and egg which is why I had to go to the hospital and drop my sample as the doctor advised.
āDonāt answer any calls that came for me, Iām going to be busy througout todayā I said to Luca before adjusting my tie and stepped out of the car.
āYes Alphaā
I am going to take Victoria my girlfriend to the hospital now so they could perform the artificial insemination on her and get it fertilized in 10 days like the doctor said.
If I had slept with her, the sperm wouldnāt get to her egg because they were weak but through artificial insemination, the fertilization process will be fast.
As I stood in the elevator Alaric growled from inside of me, āI am so happy that we are going to have a pup soonā Heās obviously happy.
āDonāt be too happy yet, we can only know if it worked in the next ten days but did you really think she can be pregnant?ā I asked and he growled again.
I chuckled lightly, āI have to use this opportunity to make her my Luna. Brian is ruthless, he will get a Luna pretty soon and have a heir but you know my condition? Victoria is my only hope now no qualms about that so be ready t0 be a father broā
āI canāt wait for this I just pray she agrees to thisā
The elevator clicked opened this time and I walked through the hallway to Victoriaās home. āAlaric you worry too much. You know how crazily she loved me? I will mark her immediately she agree to the inseminationā
Alaric howled with frustration at my determination before giving up.
I pressed the door password and clicked the lock opened.
What surprised me was that she wasnāt there right now to welcome me like she always does. Victoria is my childhood friend, we grew up together and get along well. Our parents wished we could be mates but as life would have it, I never met my mate yet but she met hers and rejected him for the sake of the love she had for me.
Since then I have held her in a special space in my heart. She confessed her love to me last year and since then, things have been going on happily.
āVictoria?ā I called as I removed my shoes and walking into the living room only to meet it deserted. Perhaps sheās in the bathroom was my thought when I noticed the two seater chair filled with clothes. I at first ignored it but something alerted me! Those were men accessories that are not mine. Ranging from Fancy wrist watch, tie, and finally a blue suit that was never mine because I am not used to leaving my things at her place.
āDamian go to the room, I smelt somethingā Alaric alerted me and I rushed towards the bedroom in frenzy.
Moans of pleasure from two familiar voices greeted me as I was about to open the door which was slightly ajar.
āRide faster baby, Iām cummin!ā I heard that familiar voice urged Victoria as she was on top of him naked.
Noā¦.. maybe I was just hallucinating. I grabbed the door handle again to push it open but something in me held me back.
āAlpha Brian are you sure you will mark me after I become pregnant with your child?ā I heard Victoria asked amidst her moans.
BRIAN! She was with Brian! My eyes suddenly become colour blind as I heard this casting the room in a monochromatic shade.
This is too much. Brian of all people?
āTear this bitch apart Damian, she cheated!ā Alaricās voice was cold but I donāt reply him.
"What did you think baby?" Brian's voice sounded with sarcasm. "Are you thinking I might change my mind?"
"No dear, I just want to be sure you know Damian? His foul temper is always so hard to handle so I want to be sure before severing all ties with himā Victoria's voice replied.
"Hahahah, see you sounding like a serious girlfriend. Is Damian a ghost or a warlock? That bastard can never win the election I am sure of that so itās your choice to follow me or notā
Victoria lowered her head and placed a kiss on him before standing up and laying beside him and grabbed his dick in a professional manner. āYou know I can never get enough of this dick? But Damian? That fool always does as if heās the most righteous man on earth he only fucked me once in two yearsā
āhahahahaā Brian laughed hysterically and she joined him too.
My head sparked with anger but I canāt go in there and do anything. I wished to enter and kill the two of them right there but something in me makes me want to let them live and see what will be the outcome of the election.
Bracing myself, I walked out of the house with heavy and sore heart.
āAlpha, thereās a new updateā Luca said as soon as I entered the car but Iām in no mood to hear his jargon so I waved my hand to stop him. āTell me about it laterā
āBut Alpha, itās about the election?ā
I rolled my eyes with exasperation before taking his phone which he offered me. The news shows the Rouges taking down my posters and uploading Brians.
āAlpha, it seems that had known that you donāt have a mate yetā
I canāt say a word. The anger inside of me is more than that I just rested my head on the headrest and closed my eyes.
āWhy are you so down? Is this the time to sulk about that worthless gamma? Get your act together and think of a way forward!ā Alaric scolded but I didnāt say anything either physically or telepatically to reply him.
āDamian!ā He growled but I didnāt say a word.
āWhere are we going to?ā Luca asked after Alaricās growl making me fell suffocated despite the Air conditioner in the car.
āStop asking me questions will you!?ā I canāt help my anger but shout on Luca and Alaric included.
I picked my phone that was ringing through my anger. It was the doctor.
āYes doctor?ā
āMr Moon, shall we find a donor for you or keep your sample in our lab?ā the doctorās words flowed into my ears making me feel more giddy and weak coupled by the scene I saw of Victoria earlier.
I sighed as several thoughts ran in my brain.
āMr Moon are you there?ā the doctorās voice brought me back from my abyssal of disarray.
āKeep my semen there, I will see you in 10 daysā
Those words, The left my lips without any remorse. I am Damian Moon the most respected and feared Alpha in the country, why should I fall down and loose because of a mere betrayal?
GLORIA'S POV After shopping with Dr Lucy and napping away the afternoon with the pups in the nursery, I find my way to Edwardās rooms. The guards told me he just returned from the refugee camp, but when he opens the door for me heās all smiles. I give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and he welcomes me in. āYou wouldnāt happen to be in the mood for an afternoon snack, would you?ā He inquires knowingly. āBecause personally Iām starving.āIām fairly certain this is a plot to make sure Iām feeding myself well, but my stomach growls loudly as I find a seat on the couch. Still, I try to sound demure as I shrug, āI could eat.āEdward laughs before calling down to the kitchens and ordering a small feast. As we eat he tells me all about his day at the refugee camp and I, in turn, share my frustration with my sudden celebrity and Dr Lucyās news about Brian. He can only shake his head. āThat boy has made some bad choices in his life, but Iāve been very proud of him these last few months.
GLORIA'S POV If I thought the world was going to look different waking up as a Luna, I was wrong. Everything is the same, even though I feel like an entirely different person than I was yesterday. I suppose I should be getting used to having my entire identity and sense of self turned upside down and inside out, but it never seems to get any easier. If anything it just becomes more confusing. I still canāt believe that I know who my parents are⦠that my father likely killed Damianās mother⦠that my own mother is out there somewhere. Frankly I canāt even contemplate the Goddessās role in all this, itās difficult enough being a princess without also being some sort of demi god.Above all else, I canāt wait until Damian is home next week. Yes, weāll be preoccupied with the summit, but with everything thatās happening right now I simply donāt feel steady without him. I need my mate, and I know heās just as anxious being away. He would barely release me from our dream date last night,
GLORIA When I wake up the next morning, I feel better rested than I have in weeks. For the first time since I started hypnosis, V hasnāt had to charge in during the middle of the night to wake me from my night terrors. Simply being able to connect with my mate did wonders for my state of mind, and even though our lovemaking was reserved for our dreams, my body is sated and satisfied.Even though I just saw Damian, my heart leaps when my phone rings a moment later, and I pull the device from itās charger. āGood morning my love.ā I greet him, beaming.āGood morning, gorgeous.ā His handsome face fills the screen, still drowsy from sleep. āHow are you feeling?āāA thousand times better.ā I admit, because not only did he save me from my nightmares, but the weight of my lies are finally off my shoulders. I run my hand over my belly, checking in with our pup.Rafe is happy too, heās been missing you as much as I haveāāIām glad youāre both feeling better,ā He rumbles, ā though I have to tel
GLORIA'S POV āWhat do you mean, it was a memory?ā Damian asks carefully. āI thought the priests came to you in the orphanage? I donāt remember anything about humans attacking you in the woods.āI stare at my lap, cradling my belly and trying to figure out how to explain my deceit. I knew this conversation was inevitable -I even prepared for it, but these are not the circ.umstances I expected. I didnāt imagine I would be so emotionally fragile, or that Damian would be wrapped around me purring, fresh off of rescuing me from a traumatic nightmare. I thought I would be able to present my case and apologize, acknowledging my wrong doing with confidence and strength of conviction.Now I fear itās going to tumble out as a mess of excuses and tangled feelings.āGloria?ā Damian presses, his voice taking on a dominant tone.When I finally look up at him, tears pour from my lashes. āIve still been doing the hypnosis.ā I confess, my l!ps quivering with every word. āI went behind your back and c
DAMIAN'S POV When I arrive in the dream forest, Iām alone ā as I have been almost every night since I left.However, rather than calling for my mate as I usually do, by picturing her in my mind and willing her to come to me with the sheer force of my longing and determination, I send my power outward. I unleash the full force of my magic, spreading it as far and wide as I can, searching every inch of this enchanted plane of existence. It rolls off of me like a dense fog, ebbing past the limits of my own consciousness to delve through the mating bond and track Gloria.Dreams are strange this way: both closer to and more distant from reality, so that our souls can join when the Goddessās power is at its peak, even as doors to fantastical and surreal worlds swing wide. I donāt know where my mate is, but as long as she is also in the realm of dreams, I know I can find her.It isnāt easy. It takes what feels like hours to finally sense her presence, to detect her heartbeat across the vast
DAMIAN'S POV We left the elders place and three days later, I had to go and see Grandpa with Brian and Gloria said she's going back to that Magical Castle with Edward.These days, I haven't heard anything about grandpa from Victoria and this got me wondering what she was up to because as long as I know Victoria, she never backs off that easily. Even though, Evelyn left, I could still sense her scent from Brian everytime we meet and these days that he wasn't bugging me, I'm sure he's up to something with her too.But deep down I really wished they get together because they seems to have the perfect vibe for each other. āIām worried about Gloria.ā I confess, pushing away my dinner. I was at his house after the visiting at the hospital. "I don't trust that guy Edward and that witch she's going to see, who knows who the witch is?"As usual, Grandpa is still numb but there's still life in him. I told him about how Gloria found her wolf and how we still haven't find anything about her p
