Damon’s POVThe host turned to the stairs and cleared his throat, then called for silence. “Presenting Alpha Damon, our newest Chairman of the Alpha Council, and his companion for the evening.”All heads turned. The clinking of glasses paused. The music faded slightly, anticipation replacing it. I looked around from the top of the stair case. The hall was packed, just like I wanted it. I descended the grand staircase, Sabrina’s arm locked in with mine. Sabrina looked breathtaking. When I first saw her earlier, it felt like the world had stopped. I didn’t want to admit it, but I felt my heart stop when her hazel eyes landed on me. The way her breath hitched. Was it the sway of her hips as we went down the stairs, or the way her curly styled hair bounced off her shoulders, or the way her eyes scanned the crowd behind her mask…I couldn’t peel my eyes off this girl. She was awakening something primal within me.My wolf clawed beneath my skin, demanding to be let out, wanting nothing mo
Sabrina’s POVI sat in the marble tub, the water lapping gently against my skin, stopping just at the high of my breasts. Jasmine petals floated around, some clinging lazily to my collarbones. I was grateful that the water covered my back, and even more grateful that the Luna handmaidens didn’t make any fuss or ask questions about the scars that decorated my back. They pretended it wasn’t there.“You must mean a lot to Alpha Damon,” Denia said, her hand massaging my scalp as she washed my hair. “I’m nothing but someone he bought,” I told her truthfully.I couldn’t see them, but I felt them glance at each other in confusion. I was just as confused as well. “We cannot question the alpha. Either way, we’re happy to be serving someone after years of forced solitude.” Denia smiled.My ears perked up. “You guys have been in the pack house since?” I questioned innocently. “I’ve never seen anyone dressed in such uniforms before.”Denia smiled. “We were born to serve the Luna,” she said li
Sabrina’s POV Nanny Tessa stormed into the kitchen, hollering at the girls, “The ball is today! Quit moping around and get handsy!” The girls scattered, dissolving from their cliques and getting busy. Nanny Tessa moved around the kitchen, huffing and puffing as she stressed over little details. She was worried, but I could tell she was enjoying it. It wasn’t every day we had big events to plan. Today was one of the busiest we’d been since I came to the pack house. A girl walked by, holding a glass bowl with hot water in it. She passed Nanny Tessa, and just as she was about to get by her, the bowl slipped from her hand and fell onto Nanny Tessa’s leg. *** “Nanny!” I screamed, stirring awake. I looked around and found eyes staring at me like I was a weirdo. Nanny Tessa wasn’t anywhere around. I let out a sigh of relief, my hands on my heaving chest. It was a dream. I had fallen asleep on the kitchen counter. I couldn’t get any shut-eye last night, my thoughts filled with
Sabrina’s POVUrmi walled out with the apprentice behind her, a satisfied smile on her face.“Make sure the dress is delivered to the pack house before the sun starts to set tomorrow,” she said.The apprentice bowed, his back bending almost ninety degrees. He murmured a “Yes Luna,” and scurried off.Luna? Was she already making people call her Luna?Urmi turned to me with the same sweet smile she always used with me, like I was a kid she was trying to coo at. “We’re done here.” I nodded and got on my feet. We reached the entrance of the tailor shop when my eyes caught a dress, displayed in a glass case across the room.A stunning ocean-blue gown stood proudly on a mannequin in the corner. The fabric shimmered every time the light hit it, catching my breath in my throat. Tiny diamond-like stones were embedded along the bodice, trailing down the skirt like stars scattered across a twilight sea. It looked like something straight out of a storybook. The hem pooled elegantly at the bottom
Sabrina’s POV“Hmmm, I’ll take this one,” Urmi said to the apprentice, pointing to a design in the glossy brochure spread on her crossed legs.I sat silently in the farthest corner of the tailor shop, still in my maid’s uniform, looking every bit like someone who didn’t belong. My posture was stiff, knees together, hands clasped tightly in my lap. I tried not to meet anyone’s gaze, especially not Urmi’s.She had waltzed into the kitchen earlier that morning and asked for me specifically. Nanny Tessa was wary, her brows lifting with suspicion. When she asked why Urmi needed me, Urmi flashed a sweet smile and said she needed help running errands. Tessa was hesitant, but she didn’t argue. I was a servant after all.I was yet to ask Nanny Tessa who Urmi was or why she roamed the house with such entitlement, acting like she owned the place. I told myself I didn’t care, but I did. She seemed close to Alpha Damon and her presence irked me so badly. I did my best to mask it. Now, here we wer
Damon’s POV“Ugh,” I groaned, tightening my grip on Urmi’s hair as her mouth worked over me. She moaned loudly, trying too hard to sound seductive, as if she affected me.Her eyes flicked up to mine, hazy with lust. I felt nothing.She continued, bobbing her head as she swallowed my penis again and again, but instead of pleasure, I only felt irritation building inside me like static under my skin.I thrust my hips, pushing deeper into her throat, hoping to force some sensation out of this distasteful performance. Still, nothing came. The arousal I had hoped for was already slipping away, like steam vanishing into the air. My body wasn’t responding. My mind was elsewhere.I closed my eyes, trying to focus…but instead, a picture of Sabrina’s face, formed in my head.This was going nowhere.Irritated, I shoved Urmi away.She fell back on her heels, breathless, strands of hair sticking to her flushed face. Confusion bloomed in her wide eyes. Her chest heaved as she stared up at me.“What’
