Damon's POV
The 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.
Damon's POV"A vampire" I replied."I thought they were extinct" Devante replied and I shook my head."I thought so too but I guess they still exist as day and night" I replied. I held Lyla in my hands as she was still shaken by the events of things.She pointed towards something in the room and when I looked in the direction to which she had pointed, I saw Ashley lying on the floor, stiff as aboard."Get Dean," I yelled at Devante. I quickly moved towards
Lyla's POV"So, here's the pack's clinic and right here, there's no sort of treatment that isn't adopted and used. Traditional use of herbs and the modern use of drugs even to chants and magic, we use it" I turned to look at Devante in disbelief.Devante came into Damon's room this morning to ask me if I was bored out of my mind because Damon spent the night at the borders again and Ashley was still recovering from the attack that happened three days ago. It took me a while to get over it but I knew I had to.Even though sleeping alone at night was scary, I still did it. I couldn't let myself be weak and draw back Damon on his activities. If I hadn't pretended to be strong when he was leaving for the borders at the first night, he would've waited and that would have affected the pack. They
Lyla's POV"Good morning to you, Ruth," I greeted as I happily walked into the kitchen."Good morning to you sunshine. Someone looks beautiful and radiant this morning" She replied, smiling at me."Stop teasing me, Ruth" I begged jokingly."I'm serious sunshine. You're beautiful"She gave me a side hug before focusing back on what she was cooking."Is there anything I can help you with?""Yes Luna. Draw out that chair and sit prettily on it" She replied and I rolled my eyes at her word even though I ended up doing as she had instructed."How's your friend? I
Damon's POV*Alpha, we need you at the perimeter* Tunde informed me through the mindlink. I was at the border's office with Dean, trying to plan out our next move and what we could use to reinforce our boundaries and not make us penetrable by these attackers.*What's going on?**Something urgent needs your permission"Dean stood up abruptly from his seat almost at the same time that I did. Someone must have mindlinked him as well."A wolf was sighted at the borders" He informed me."A rogue?""No, a regular wolf. A Beta to be precise" He replied and I frowned.A pack's beta just couldn't come to my borders without a prior notice or information. It was almost impossible.As fast as we could move, we reached the borders and we met our warriors in a defensive stance.The wolf had already shifted to a human
Damon's POV"No way," I growled, as anger surged through my veins. As they moved closer to the borders, I almost drowned in the pit of anger and pain."My God!" Tunde gasped behind me. "What the hell happened to them?" He asked.It was evening already, as darkness has slightly covered the earth. We were at the borders awaiting the arrival of the Silverline pack. The Silverline Packs were damaged beyond repair, they were only about fifteen or seventeen in numbers and most of them were wounded while some appeared as if life had departed from them.A part that was normally supposed to be about seven hundred wolves was now left to just seventeen helpless wolves. Silverline is one of the old
Damon's POVThe night air was cold, the lack of humidity had drained all senses of comfort that one could find in the night, or maybe it was because I'd been sitting outside here for more than two hours waiting for Lyla and the old woman to be done with whatever they were talking about."I said it! I said it!!" Ashley yelled as she and her brother, Tunde, walked towards me.I was sitting on a small mountain located closer to the hospital."Why are you excited about that?" Tunde asked his sister."I already confirmed my suspicion to her about what she was but she found it difficult to believe me. I can finally say now that I wa
