Damien's POV I couldn't believe the words that had just escaped Amber's lips. "Be the next Luna?" The thought echoed in my mind as I tried to make sense of it. A surge of guilt washed over me as I realized how close I had come to crossing a line I should never have approached. Amber, the maid, my uncle Derek's daughter, had nearly become a regrettable mistake. "What the heck do you mean?" I questioned her, scrutiny. She stopped panting and moaning. She tried to maintain her cool, but I knew there was something behind this. Was she fucking me to get a child from me and become…. "Look, Alpha, I apologize. Your dick was soo.." "It's alright. Just leave. You can leave now. And do not ever come into my room again. Is that clear?" I commanded. I could sense her confusion and unease as she walked away. Watching her depart, I couldn't help but wonder what had prompted her to say such things. It was a stark reminder for me to be cautious, especially with Amber and my uncle Derek arou
Damien's POV I woke up feeling rather queer. My whole body ached. I needed to start hitting the gym. I was probably low on testosterone. As I sat calmly on my bed, thinking about the day, I was left with disquieting thoughts about last night. I still couldn't smell where something was wrong. I could understand what was going on, but whatever it was, I sure needed to be careful. The substance Amber had left last night was still on my reading table. I kept it safe. Lilly, the pack healer should be able to detect what substance this is. I grabbed my phone, threw a shirt on and went to see what was for breakfast. Walking down the stairs, I stretched as hard as I could. I truly needed to hit the gym. But first, a warm massage would do the trick. As I got to the living room, I breathed in the fresh air of peace. Today, it smelled different. Today felt positive. Besides my body pain, I felt good today. Something told me that there should be some sort of good news today! Even E
Damien's POV"Damien, stop. Please! You're hurting yourself." Beta Mason begged me from the door of my room. But he couldn't take a step in. He shouldn't. Ignoring him, I continued throwing my fist to the mirror again and again until I could no longer raise my arm. Blood poured from the holes in my fist. I was already getting tired, so I staggered into the bathroom to wash the blood off my hand. As I walked, I purposely stepped on the broken pieces of glass that lay shattered on the floor, causing my foot to bleed as well. Getting into my bathroom, there was yet another mirror. Each time I saw him in the mirror staring at me, I felt a usual anger, this extreme hatred! The feeling always came back. So, I began to punch the mirror as well until I could no longer see him. Just the reflection of his pieces. "Open up! Damien open the goddamn door!" I heard Beta Mason shout from the other end of the toilet door, banging it hard. I was too weak to respond or even move, my hand felt pa

Damien's POV "Look, I swear, I won't say a word about where you are. Please, don't hurt me. Just let me go." I enjoyed Dylan begging me. It was strange. A strange feeling. I was supposed to be a good kid. A good Alpha. But here I was torturing the packs' tracker, pointing a gun to his head. It felt…..I don't know. His leg was bleeding seriously. I had shot his wolf earlier, before it grabbed me. What part of 'do not want to be an Alpha' does uncle Mason not understand. "I don't believe you. I don't believe anyone." So, I held the pistol to his head and grabbed a rope and tied him to a tree, then I began to walk back to the car. My hand, still holding the pistol to his face. "Why you doing this man? You should be fucking proud to be an Alpha. Imma grab that chance with one hand!" Dylan said, still moaning from the pain in his leg. I turned to look at him. I didn't want to hurt him anymore. "You have to learn to look on the inside, friend. Things are not what they seem. There
Damien's POV As I approached my car, my eyes fell upon the reflection in the window – a magnificent creature that I knew was now a part of me. A black wolf stood before me, sleek and powerful, its fur glistening under the moonlight. Two distinct white spots adorned each side of its abdomen, like silent companions in the darkness. A single grey patch on its forehead added an air of mystery to its already enchanting presence. I couldn't help but admire the wolf before me. Its form exuded strength, grace, and an untamed beauty that resonated deep within me. The wolf's eyes, a brilliant shade of amber, held a certain wisdom and understanding, as if it had been waiting for me all along. "Hey" I whispered, my voice carrying a mix of awe and wonder. This was my wolf, a part of me that I had never known before. Finally, there was someone I could hold on to. Someone to talk to, someone to fill the void in me. A gentle breeze softly rustled the leaves around me. As I observed I noticed
Damien's POV "Lycan Apex? That… That wasn't possible. Is it true?" I asked Echo who was already running towards my dad. Echo leaped onto my father's wolf, slashing his belly with his claws. Dad's wolf was sent flying, leaving marks on the floor as he landed at the other side of the room. The power behind Echo's attack stunned me. He seemed weightless, like an empty jar. A surge of strength rushed through me, making me feel like a muscular, powerful male. I felt like an Alpha!! Everything in that room immediately seemed to obey me. Even as little as the books that lay on my father's table. Or was it just an illusion? Echo roared loudly, sending vibrations of anger and despair round the whole room. My father slowly shifted to human, grabbing his clothes to cover himself. He looked pretty wounded. He was panting heavily. I then shifted too. Slowly, I came to my human form. I walked slowly to my father. I felt a slight pang of guilt in me. But it didn't last long. I was never
Elara's POV "No, no no. Not him Mia. Not him!" "Are you, what, scared? You should be happy. You're mated to the Alpha. Don't you know what this means? You're the Luna of Ironclaw Pack." My wolf whimpered in excitement. "No Mia. You don't understand. He.. he's brutal. He killed his father and the Beta. What makes you think he will love me? He never even smiles. Gosh! He looks scary. Mia, let's get outta here now!" I began to find my way through the crowd to go back home. There was no way I.. Oh no! What was the moon goddess thinking? "Hold up, Elara. His wolf is trying to talk to me. Turn around. Look at him" Mia pressured. I turned back to look at Damien. He was… Mia would tell me to admit it. He was freaking handsome. He was muscular, strong. The more I looked at him, the more I felt attracted to him. The more I wanted to hold him. The more I wanted to grab his hands and his whole body. The more my lips wanted to kiss his. "Run away Elara. Go somewhere far. Damien would n
