登入Damon POVThe cell fell silent except for our ragged breathing.My wolf finally settled, satisfied after taking what it wanted. Elliot was limp in my arms, trembling, covered in fresh marks and my scent. His head rested against my chest as he tried to catch his breath. For a moment, the mate bond felt warm and content.Then reality crashed over me like ice water.I looked around the dim dungeon cell. Elliot’s mother sat in the corner with her back turned, shoulders shaking. The damp stone walls, the iron bars, the smell of mold and despair, it all hit me at once. I had just fucked my mate hard in a prison cell while his mother was locked in the same space. My father’s would-be killer.Disgust rolled through me.What the hell was wrong with me?I gently lowered Elliot to the floor and pulled away. My hands were still shaking as I fixed my clothes. He looked up at me with those soft, trusting eyes, still dazed from everything we had just done. His lips were swollen. His neck was covered
Damon POVThe dungeon air was cold and damp when I finally went down there. My father had given me permission to “deal with the boy.” The guards let me pass without question. My footsteps echoed loudly in the quiet underground corridor. I could smell him long before I reached the cell—my scent still all over him from last night, mixed with fear and confusion.Elliot.He was sitting on the floor with his mother, looking small and broken. When he heard me coming, his head snapped up. His eyes widened with a mix of hope and pain that hit me straight in the chest.“Damon?” His voice was hoarse from crying.I stopped in front of the bars. For a moment, I just stared at him. His neck and arms were still covered in my marks. My wolf stirred violently inside me, pushing hard against my control the second it sensed our mate.“Open the cell,” I ordered the guard.The door creaked open. Elliot stood up on shaky legs, wincing from the soreness I knew I had caused. He took a hesitant step toward m
Elliot POV The words kept echoing in my head. Take you to the dungeon. They didn’t make sense. None of this made sense. My heart pounded wildly as the guards dragged me down the hallway. I stumbled several times, my legs still sore and weak, but they didn’t slow down. Their grips remained firm around my arms, making it clear they weren’t going to let me go. “There has to be some mistake,” I said desperately. “Please, tell me what’s happening.” Neither guard answered. I looked from one face to the other. Nothing. No sympathy. No explanation. Just cold silence. Fear began growing inside my chest. “Did something happen to Alpha Richard?” I asked. “Is Damon alright?” Still nothing. The guards continued walking. The further we moved through the Alpha House, the more attention we attracted. Servants stopped working to stare. Warriors standing guard turned their heads as we passed. Even some pack members who happened to be inside the house openly whispered to one another. I
Elliot POVI woke up slowly, my body aching in ways I had never felt before. Every muscle felt sore and heavy, especially my legs. I could barely move them without wincing. The bed beneath me was warm and smelled strongly of Damon—pine, ice, and something deeper that made my wolf sigh happily inside me.I was completely naked.For a moment, I just lay there, blinking at the ceiling as memories from last night flooded back. Damon’s strong hands on my skin. His mouth claiming every inch of me. The way he had pulled me close, thrust deep inside me, knotting me again and again while the storm raged outside. The way he whispered that I was his. The pleasure that had crashed over me wave after wave until I couldn’t think straight.A small, shy smile crept onto my lips.All my secret imaginations had finally come to life. And it was even better than anything I had ever dreamed. The heat, the bond, the way he looked at me like I was the only thing that mattered in that moment. For the first
Damon POVThe guard’s urgent words echoed in my head as I followed him back toward the Alpha House at a brisk pace. My muscles still burned from the long run, but the exhaustion was nothing compared to the storm brewing inside my chest. Last night’s memories kept flashing through my mind—Elliot’s soft moans, the way his body had felt under mine, the peace I had felt holding him. Now that peace felt tainted. Dangerous.When we reached the Alpha Quarters, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. Warriors stood guard outside the heavy wooden doors, their faces grim. I pushed past them without waiting for permission.Inside, my father, Alpha Richard, sat in his high-backed chair like a king holding court. His face was pale, but his eyes burned with barely contained fury. In the center of the room, two guards held a woman on her knees. Elliot’s mother.She looked nothing like the composed woman who had married into our family. Her hair was messy, eyes wide with panic, and her hands trembled
Damon POV The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the warmth. For the first time in years, I had not woken up thinking about hockey practice, Alpha training, pack responsibilities, sponsorship meetings, or the endless expectations hanging over my head. Instead, I woke up with someone pressed against my chest, their soft breaths fanning across my skin as the morning sunlight filtered through the curtains. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Elliot. My arms were wrapped around him. His body was curled against mine as if he belonged there. As if he had always belonged there. For several moments, I simply stared at him. Neither of us had any clothes on. The blanket had slipped low during the night, exposing his pale skin. My eyes drifted over him and stopped at the marks covering his neck, shoulders, and chest. Every single one of them belonged to me. A strange feeling settled inside my chest. Peace. Real peace. Not the temporary satisfaction of winning a game. Not t
Elliot POVI woke up feeling awful.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling.My body felt strange.Heavy.Weak.Wrong.A dull headache throbbed behind my eyes.My stomach churned uneasily.Even sitting up made the room spin.I pressed a hand against my forehead and groaned.“What
The entire pack was celebrating tognight! banners hanging brightly across the pack square, and music blasting from large speakers set up around the open field. Food stalls lined the edges, their delicious aromas mingling with the excitement, while children ran around wearing Damon jerseys, their
The entire city were buzzing with excitement, the air thick with anticipation that you could almost feel on your skin no matter where you went. Everywhere I turned, people were talking about the hockey game—the biggest one of the season, the championship match that had everyone on edge. Even be
By the time training finally ended, every single part of my body ached with exhaustion and pain that ran deep into my muscles and bones. My arms throbbed from the endless drills, and my legs felt so weak they might give out beneath me at any moment. There was still dried mud caked on my clothes, a
