Sabrina’s POVLife was good.It had officially been a week since I last saw Alpha Damon. Anne hadn’t been in my business. Elena was nowhere near me. I hadn’t had those weird dreams… and my heart felt lighter.My last encounter with Alpha Damon had left me in shambles. I’d broken the one promise I made to myself—to never cry in front of anyone bullying me.I thought he was going to kill me right there in the kitchen. I mean, I had attempted to kill him. He didn’t even give me a chance to apologize before backing me into a corner. But the final straw… the part that shattered me… was when he mentioned my wolf.How did he know?All the trauma I had bottled up from my former pack came flooding back—the bullying, the whispers, the shame of being the only wolfless wolf, especially under the cruel gaze of the Alpha’s family. It was like someone had ripped open old wounds, and then poured Alpha Damon’s presence on top of it like salt.I crumbled.“Sabrina, dear.”I looked up to see Nanny Tessa
Damon’s POV“Still eating after you failed to fulfill your purpose?” I stared at her coldly, still leaning on the wall.She looked at me, stunned, her eyes darting all over my body, and she trembled in fear. I looked down at my body and saw how bloody it looked. The darkness outside hid most of it.She took a few steps backward. “I—I don’t understand what you’re saying,” she mumbled, her gaze dropping to the floor. Her feet shuffled, fidgeting like she was ready to flee at the first chance.I was intrigued to see her in the kitchen when I saw her. My wolf was ecstatic.But when I remembered that I could see her because I was still alive, anger clouded my senses.I stalked toward her. She backed up until her spine hit the counter. I didn’t stop until our faces were just inches apart. I could feel her shaky breath warming my skin.I lifted her chin, forcing her gaze to meet mine. “Where’s your wolf?”“Huh?” Her eyes got pearly, and pasta sauce smeared all over her mouth.“Where is your
Damon’s POV“Ughh,” I groaned roughly as Ian pulled out the knife lodged in my chest. I was too weak to do it myself. The pack doctor stood by the side, confused at what was going on.Heck, I was confused too!I was supposed to be immortal. Any cut I had closed up before I could even blink. It had been centuries since I felt what real pain felt like.The pack doctor scrambled around looking for where to place his first aid box and get to business.He poured a liquid on my wound that made me grit my teeth and hiss in pain.“Not so immortal anymore, huh?” Ian joked from the side.“Not funny,” I winced.The pack doctor patched up my wound and stood there waiting for further orders.“You may go,” Ian ordered. The pack doctor walked a few steps. I didn’t know where he got the courage from but he looked up at me. “A-alpha Damon.”My gaze shot at him but the imbecile still proceeded to ask his question. “Your curse…I-is it broken?”Ignoring the pain, that shot through my veins as I moved,
Sabrina’s POV“Help!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw Alpha Damon passed out in the corridor. Tears stained my cheeks, my bloodied hands running over his body. “Somebody help!”It didn’t take long for Nanny Tessa to show up. A few others came after her, footsteps pounding frantically against the marble floors.“Oh Goddess, what happened to him?” Nanny Tessa cried as she ran, her weak legs slowing her down.“He… he… while I was sleeping…” The words coming out of my mouth were jumbled up with incessant sobs, and I didn’t even know if anyone understood a thing I said. “I killed him.”Nanny Tessa spaced out, her eyes focusing on nothing as if her mind had left her body. After a minute, she came up to me and Damon. Her wrinkled hands trembled as they hovered over his chest. “Don’t worry, child. Ian will be here any moment.”I could barely register what she said, but what I could register was the unimaginable pain I felt seeing Alpha Damon in that state. It felt like a hand wa
Damon’s POV“I saw what you did in the garden,” Ian said, voice smug, body perched lazily on the iron railing outside my balcony.I didn’t look at him. I leaned forward, my elbows resting on the cold metal as I let the wind slap my face. Maybe it’d freeze the thoughts trying to worm their way to the front of my mind. But once Ian found something to tease me with, he never backed down.“Did you really have to suck it?” he said, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. It was rare, that smile. But he was enjoying this…watching me spiral.I gritted my teeth. “My stupid wolf took control.”That wasn’t a lie. Not completely.Three days. That’s how long I’d kept my distance. Three days without seeing her. Three days of hearing her heartbeat, standing in front of her door while smelling her jasmine scent drifting through the corridors like a ghost haunting me. It drove my wolf insane.But she was afraid of me. I mean everybody was.It was thrilling to see people’s knees buckle once they c
Sabrina’s POVMy lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.I stared at Damon, my heart was thudding wildly in my chest. What was this? Some new form of punishment? I looked away, my lips quivering from fear. I couldn’t. That name, his name, felt too heavy, too dangerous, to be spoken by someone like me.A muscle in his jaw ticked. “You’re not following orders, little mouse”That made my eyes dart back to his.He didn’t raise his voice, not even slightly. But the chill that came with those words rooted me to the ground. I had heard what happened when people didn’t follow his orders. My mouth went dry. I tried to speak, but the words were stuck in my throat.After what felt like hours of silent war with myself, I forced the word out, my voice barely audible. “D-Damon…”I winced. Even hearing it from my own mouth sent shivers down my spine.Damon stood up in one graceful motion, dusting the dirt off his pants. Then, to my utter horror, he extended a hand.My eyes widened. I quickly
