Damon POVAfter we crawled into bed in one of the guest rooms Elena went straight to sleep, staying true to the no sensual behavior rule she placed before we climbed in. I couldn’t help but watch her sleep. How could such a defiant strong headed woman come from one of the most brainwashed packs out there? I only accepted Alpha Johns invitation to the Ball because our alliance with them is on thin ice and we share a border with them. It was the last thing I expected to be fated by the moon goddess, and to his daughter of all people. Don’t get me wrong she is the most gorgeous creature I’ve ever laid my eyes on, but it couldn’t have happened at a worst time. Between the failing alliance and my soon to realize she was dumped ex-girlfriend Chelsea, I knew it was about to be an avalanche of trouble. I woke before Elena did, laying there for a while taking in the beauty of he delicate curves and ivory skin. She was still adorably sleeping peacefully so I hopped out of bed to make arrangeme
Damon POV As I walked through the pack house my mind raced. I didn’t even know what I’d say to Chelsea when I reached her room. I’d have to banish her from the pack if I really didn’t want Elena to know about her, but that just felt like a major over reaction. I could ban her from the pack house, but Elena would roam the lands alone soon enough and her running into Chelsea was too likely. There wasn’t a simple solution where someone wasn’t hurt. Reaching Chelsea’s room I couldn’t bring myself to turn the door handle. As I turned to walk away, Chelsea swung the door open, murder in her eyes. “Exactly why is it you feel the right to have Dean, of all people, dismiss ME?!” She practically spit in my face. “I’m the alpha Chels. I can do what I please when I please. Last night it pleased me not to have you in my sight.” I tried to lie but it floated out of my mouth like frosty breath. Chelsea stumbled backwards into her room shocked at my words. We were inseparable these last few mont
Pulling my curly hair out of the shirt Damon tossed me it dawned on me he was waiting for me in the hall making that exit route impossible. I turned and looked out the window, we were on the second floor. The window wasn’t nailed shut like in my room at home so it slide right open. The breeze was nice but by May the heat was nearly unbearable in the south. If I really wanted to leave it was clear I’d have to jump. Running to grab my shoes I realized all I had was stilettos, seeing as I would more than likely be chased those wouldn’t do. I went back to the dresser in search for socks. I grabbed two pairs to layer hoping it would be enough to protect my feet from the heat.As I bent over to shove my feet in the socks I heard a woman’s voice coming from the door. “Damon I just wanted to talk. Please don’t be mad, I love you…” the woman’s voice was cracking as she spoke. Who was she? Was she crying? Was this someone he had be with? Before I could dive too much into thought over it I hear
Damon POVI instantly regretted biting her as soon as I shut the door but what could I do about it? What’s done was done. I knew I had over done it though and I did feel terrible. I was still just so irritated with Dean, and the situation with Chelsea, and I took it out on her. I didn’t want this to be what she pictured when she thought of her life with me.“Damon I just wanted to talk. Please don’t be mad, I love you…” Chels voice snuck up on me like a snake her voice like hisses in my ear. I turned to see her, and was immediately cross with her when I saw she hadn’t even bothered to dress; she was standing in the hall in nothing but lacy underwear, her breast exposed to me. Elena could open this door at any second so I said what I had to to get rid of her slipping my alpha aura out as I did. “I told you to leave. I was trying to spare your feelings but clearly you are a glutton for pain. Yes I met my mate. She felt it when you touched me earlier! You can’t be here anymore!”She snif
Damon POVI laid on the pool table in the game room lost in my loneliness. Elena’s been in a coma for almost 3 weeks now and there’s still no definite sign she’ll wake. She lays nearly lifeless in our bed, making the entire pack house gloomy. The man who attacked Elena turned out to be her fathers Beta, Josh, so I can’t kill him without in-sighting war anymore than my mating Elena already has. He’s rotting in the cell next to Chelsea’s. She claims to have no knowledge of the events, maybe I overreacted with her, but no one was leaving my dungeons until Elena woke to tell her side of the story. If she woke at all that was. If she dies I’m hanging them both in the town square tied by their ankles and recreating every single scratch on Elena’s lifeless body. As I was planning my torcher Dean entered the room. “Sir the Doctor Alan has come round to check on Luna Elena.” I hopped off the pool table marching to my room where the pack doctor was already checking Elena’s pupils. “You said
Elena POVI could hear talking but it was muffled by the screaming ring in my ears. Opening my eyes it was hard to focus on any one face, but then I saw Damon rushing to my side. “ELENA???! Elena?? Can you hear me?” His voice actually sounded like he had concern for me. “Elena can you say anything? We need to know the extent of the damage done to your motor functions.” The old man standing next to him said. He approached me, lifting my eyelids to flash a bright light in my eyes. “Get away from me” I said in a raspy voice. “Ma’am I’m only trying to check your well being, you’ve been through quite a number. My presence is necessary.” The man responded before he went back to checking my pupils. “Not you, him.” Damon looked like I pierced his heart with a silver dagger. “Ma’am the alpha has not left your side in weeks. He’s bathed you, clothed you, kept close eye on your iv bags and has even been sanitizing and medicating your wounds. He cares deeply for your well being you should b
Elena POVAfter Damon finished bathing me he picked me up out of the bath, having the nurse cover me with a towel. I thought he was going to lay me on the bed when he turned towards the door. “What are you doing?! I don’t have any clothes on!” I screeched as the door opened. He didn’t answer me, just kept strolling down the hall, past the doctor in the waiting area, and then out the front door to the pack house. “Damon I know I hurt your feelings but please don’t leave me out here naked.” I pleaded. He rolled his eyes as he laid me in the grass. “I’m not leaving you out here Elena. I understand I’m not your favorite person, but believe I wouldn’t leave my mate outside indecent. I’m going to shift and lick the wounds on your back.” He said before taking his shirt off, exposing his rippling muscles. “That may not work sir, her body is weak, she should really still be upstairs in bed. With your bond not fully formed, the likely hood is that you’ll only expose her to more infection ou
Damon POVElena finally fell asleep around 4 in the morning but I couldn’t. Tonight was very important, not only for us but for my pack, nothing could go wrong. I laid next to her in bed, holding her until the sun started to shine through the window, then I was off to wake Dean. Barging in his room I said “Dean wake up. We’ve got an entire ceremony to plan and less than 12 hours to plan it.” Looking around his room was clean, but not spotless, clothes were draped across the floor. Finally I laid my eyes upon him, and the man in his bed. In a low growl Dean sprung from his bed pushing the man out of him. “Sir I can explain…” my eyes hadn’t left the man grinning at me from underneath Deans sheets. “GAURDS” I yelled. “Alpha it’s not what it looks like, Josh and I were just- just-“Taking a few steps towards him I wondered “Just- Just- what Dean? Just- just- canoodling the man that tried to raped my mate? Just- Just- talking strategy on how to get back at me for mating Elena? Just- Ju
