Hey everyone, I'm deeply sorry for the late update. As I've informed you guys in the previous chapters about school resuming, it really affected my writings in a serious way. I've had several project defense, assignment, class work etc. I just got this little time for myself and decided to use it for this book. I hope you guys understand and give Damon your support. Thank you so much.
Lyla's POV
"You're really leaving," Damon said with an unreadable expression. I blinked, trying to give him an answer that won't hurt him.
"Temporarily, I promise I'll be back soon" I reached out to touch his hand but he quickly shifted it away and placed it on the steering wheel.
Even though he had once info
Lyla's POV"Good morning, Henry" I smiled as I walked out of my room. Henry was dressed in a grey suit, a suitcase at hand as he pressed his phone."Beautiful morning to you, sunshine" He replied before kissing my forehead. He looked better than yesterday when I'd arrived and I'm glad about the new improvement.After his little meltdown, we had a talk about everything that I'd missed. He made sure to not leave any information out because he felt I needed to know what had happened and all that was going out. We went out to our favorite spot later at night and got back home early.Everything I had wanted to ask him had dissolved into thin air and I knew it just wasn't the right time to ask him anything.
Lyla's POV"What are you doing, Lyla?"I turned to see Henry looking at me intensely while standing at the door. I ignored his question and continued packing up my clothes. I moved to the wardrobe and brought out a new suitcase for my sneakers, heels, and sandals."I asked you a question, Lyla?" He yelled, making me stop in my tracks."I'm leaving Henry. I can't stay here. I need to go" I answered.He yanked me away from the wardrobe angrily and made me sit on the bed."Leave for where, Lyla?" He asked, his eyes blazing with anger."Back to where I was before. The
Damon's POVOne after the other, about twenty-four Alphas all walked into the room, a huge file at hand, ready to proceed with stoning me to death for crimes that I see as nothing.Responsibility was the major reason why I found myself here today and if not for my new loyalty to the pack, I would've ignored their summons as usual but now I have to think of my pack before making any rational decision."I'm surprised you all are this much. I thought they were supposed to be just seven" I said, directing my view of the situation to Tunde who was grinning as he looked over at the elders.He was sitting in front of the little crowd that had gathered to witness my shame while I stood in a box, one that signified, a c
Lyla's POV"Thank you for coming all the way here, Dean. You too, Devante, even though you weren't needed"I acknowledge, funnily dissing Devante as I loaded my bags to the back of the car."You're my brother's mate so I'm supposed to be here even if you don't want me to"He replied, giving me his popular flower boy smile."Anything for you Luna, let's go, Devante" Dean opened the door for me and I quickly entered into the passenger's side beside the driver's seat.I'd made contact with Dean a few days after I tried getting through to Damon and Tunde to no avail. The two weren't responding to my messages
Damon's POVThe moment her lips met with mine, my anger dissolved into thin air. I held her waist and pulled her closer to my body as I searched her mouth with my tongue.Having her so close made me realize just how much I've missed her. For days, I'd longed for her presence and I can't help but hold her close now that she's here."I missed you, D'' She grinned after we separated. I pulled her closer and kissed her hair. Her expression changed and I wondered what I'd done wrong.Ignoring her look, I asked, "Who brought you here?""Nobody" She simply replied, staring hard at the floor."Devante is rig
Damon's POVThe ride back to the pack was awkward and uncomfortable for me. Lyla won't stop staring at me and Tunde won't stop checking on me as he drove us back to the pack. I stared hard at the rows of trees we passed by, trying to swallow the images in the head.Lyla suddenly held my hand, squeezing it tightly. Without looking at her, I removed my hand from hers."I'm fine, " I groaned and faced the car's window back."Are you okay, Damon?" Tunde asked."Since when have I ever been okay? I'm Damon and that means I'm never in my right sens
Lyla's POVAs soon as Tunde informed Damon about what was going on, he dropped me on my feet, kissed my forehead, and said a quick apology before running out of the room after Tunde.I stayed back to arrange my clothes and other stuff in the closet before leaving the room. As I walked out of the elevator, I saw Ashley."Hey stranger," I called out to her and when she turned, I saw her holding a knife."Lyla" she screamed out. "When did you get back?" She asked, before throwing her hands around me."Just now. Where are you going with the
Damon's POV"What the hell happened out there?" I yelled at Ashley as soon as I placed Lyla on the bed and sent one of the warriors who had followed me to get Dean."I can't really explain it," She replied. "I don't know how it happened but he started it," she said pointing at the leader."What the heck happened, Konrad? What did you do to my mate?" I asked angrily.His eyes went wide as he realized his mistake."I'm sorry Alpha, I didn't mean to hurt her. They both said they wanted to join the warriors and I sent them off" he explained.
