Meanwhile, back at the pack house, Damon hung up after his assistant finished updating him on everything happening at work. He stripped out of his clothes, headed straight into the bathroom, and took a quick shower. Minutes later, he stood in front of the mirror, dressed in simple, casual clothing, running a hand through his damp hair.

His phone buzzed in his pocket.

He pulled it out and saw Drake's name flashing across the screen.

"Hey, man," Damon said as he swiped to answer.

"Hey. How are things with Amber? Any progress yet?"

"Not yet," Damon admitted. "But I'm headed to her house right now."

"Damn." Drake paused. "You sure that's a good idea? She literally kicked you out last night."

"Do you have a better one? Because I can't just sit here and wait around, hoping she'll call. You and I both know that's never going to happen."

Drake let out a long breathe. He knew Damon was right.

"So what's the plan now?" he finally asked.

"I don't know," Damon whispered, leaning against the dress

  • Once His Mate, Now His Rival   Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Four

    Damon woke to silence.Not the calm kind—the heavy, unnatural kind that pressed against his ears until they rang.For a moment, he couldn't move. Couldn't think. His body felt buried beneath itself, limbs too heavy to answer him. The air reeked of burnt metal and pine sap, sharp enough to sting his lungs when he dragged in a breath.Then the pain came.It rolled through him in slow waves, retreating just enough to let him stay conscious. He groaned and turned his head, his cheek scraping against damp soil and ash.Towering trees loomed above him, their trunks split and blackened, branches torn away as if something massive had plowed straight through them.He rubbed his forehead, trying to piece the events that got him here. Slowly, it came...Leaving Hawaii. The stewardess. The engine failure. The captain's voice. The shift. Then... Nothing.Damon pushed himself up and froze. His skin was bare.He wasn't putting on any clothes. The transformation must have burned through everything wh

    Amber sat frozen on the sofa, counting the frantic beats of her heart as they slammed against her ribs when a knock sounded on the door.She sprang to her feet and hurried towards the door, dread curling in her stomach. Jessie stood outside, worry etched deeply across her face."Hey, babe." she said, pulling Amber into a hug before pulling back."Still no word from him?""No," Amber answered, glancing down at the phone in her hands, "I've called him a dozen time since yesterday and he still hasn't answered."Jessie sighed, shaking her head. "I'm sure he's just busy. Did he say where he was going?"Amber shook her head. "No, he wouldn't tell me no matter how much I asked. But I have a feeling that something's wrong, Jess. You should've seen his face after that call. He looked so sad... and angry. And it's been over a day now, and he still isn't back."Jessie offered a small, understanding smile. "I'm sure everything's fine. He's probably on his way back as we speak."Amber managed a we

    Damon checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time since boarding the plane. Barely two hours had passed since he left Hawaii, which meant there were still nine hours to go before he reached New York."Fuck," he cussed, reaching into the compartment and pulling out a miniature bottle of whiskey and a glass. He poured a small amount, taking a quick swig. The liquor burned on the way down, flooding his chest with warmth, but not enough to quell the turmoil churning inside him.A few moments after ending the call with Magnus, Damon had phoned Jake and told him everything, ordering him to go straight to Amber's house and protect her and the kids. Then he'd called Blake, instructing him to gather every man they had and bring them back to the pack.He didn't know whether Magnus had been telling the truth, but if there was even the slightest chance that he was, the pack would need every fighter they could muster.And he could only hope and pray that Blake be able to hold them off

    Two Hours LaterThe surgeon stepped out, pulling off his gloves. Damon stood instantly, his eyes fixed on the man's face."Doctor?"The doctor gave a tired but reassuring nod. "He's stable. We managed to stop the internal bleeding, but I can't say when or if he will regain consciousness. He survived severe trauma, broken ribs, extensive wounds, and significant blood loss. Frankly, it's a miracle he's even alive." He paused, then added, "there are also signs of poisoning." The doctor sighed. "We've done all we can. The rest I sup to him now."Vicky broke down in sobs as the words sank in.Damon remained motionless, his fists clenched tightly at his sides."Thank you," he said quietlyThe doctor nodded. "We're moving him to a private room. You'll be able to see him shortly." With that, he turned and walked away.Damon placed a steady hand on Vicky's shoulder, squeezing gently. "He's going to be fine, Vee." His voice hardened slightly. "And Magnus… I promise you, he'll pay for this."Vic

    SEVERAL HOURS LATERDamon exhaled sharply as the plane finally touched down in Hawaii, his chest tight with a dread he couldn't shake. A driver was already waiting at the airport, but Damon barely noticed him. He slid into the car, his thoughts racing far ahead as they drove off.The ride felt endless. Every second stretched, heavy and suffocating, until the car finally slowed and came to a stop in front of an hospital.Damon didn't wait for the driver to get the door and stepped down, his strides long and urgent as he pushed through the hospital doors.He found Vicky seating in front of the ER, tears streaming down her eyes as she stared at the floor.Her clothes were soaked red with blood, her skin pale and damp with sweat. She looked so small and broken."Vicky."At the sound of his voice, her head snapped up. The moment she spotted Damon walking towards her, Vicky bolted to her feet and ran towards him, crashing into his arms as if they were the only thing keeping her from falling

    Later that Evening Amber was in the kitchen, preparing dinner when Damon came in. He made his way to where she was, snuck his arms around her waist, pushed her hair aside, and kissed her neck."Hey, babe," Damon murmured sweetly, his hot breathe fanning against her shoulder.Amber stopped what she was doing, washed her hands in the sink, and turned around to face him."You're here back," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck."Yes, love. I got here as fast I could. I thought I'd go crazy if I stayed one more minute away from you."Amber giggled and tiptoed, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "You always know what to say to make my heart flutter."Damon smiled. "As long as it gets me to see that pretty smile on your face, I'd do anything." His gaze dropped to her belly as one hand rubbed her belly gently. "How's our precious baby doing?"Amber smiled. "She's doing fine. I'm sure she can't wait to come into this world so she can see us.""As do I," Damon said, crouching to place a
