Bella glanced at Roman who stood in the corner of the room with his hands behind his back and his neck bent down like a criminal. Then her eyes slid to Damon who was still glaring at each of them the same way that he had started ten minutes ago.
"Can I go to my room?" she tried to stand up, but once shot of his eyes at her had her sitting back down exactly where she was.
"What happened there?" he asked, but his eyes were on Roman this time, "I had asked you to do one fucking job correctly and you could not do even that?"
"There was an unexpected traffic jam." Roman said in a low tone, "but I am sorry about that Alpha. I should have been more careful."
"You damn should have." Damon gritted, "you are on territory watch for a week. Twent
I stood in the hall behind the couch as Alina stood in the middle of the hall in a pretty, yellow sundress with her hands clutched in front of her like a good, obedient, innocent girl who was yet to experience the ugly world. People were constantly whispering to each other."What is she doing here? Why weren't we informed?""Oooh, it looks like we are about to experience a live drama." Someone else whispered, "just look at that. Fiancee and the girl alpha is always with in front of each other.""I thought she was his girlfriend. Is she going to be alpha's mistress?""Alina is more beautiful. I don't even doubt they are within same range."Bella had two options, either to go hid
Damon stared at Alina's piercing gaze. The girl was smarter than he had thought of her to be. He knew that she had realized he was hiding something, but he was not about to give her or anyone any explanation.He had realized what was going on. The danger on Bella was increasing each day. Since the day he had announced her as his mate in the meeting of Alphas, and they had confirmed that the rumour about her being a powerless wolf was true, they were planning something. When he had traveled to New York with Bella, he had gotten a hint of something stirring up within the packs without his knowledge. Even when they kept their mouths sealed shut, they could not control the gossips from slipping off the mouths of people. He had gotten Roman to get to work, to inquire about what was going on. His suspicion got proven true when Bella got into the car accident today. He had seen the surveillance
"This is not the way any man should treat a girl, Damon, especially the woman you are about to marry." Bella's words dripped with distaste.Damon turned, fully facing her. His yellow eyes slowly subsiding to a dark shade of black, "why are you suddenly so attached to people that you don't even know closely? Aren't you being too desperate to run away from me?""And what is wrong with that?" Bella whispered under breath while looking away from him. But Alina interjected, as she finally caught her breath. Her eyes moved between Damon and Bella silently but she was careful with her words when she spoke this time,"I have a solution." she said softly.Bella looked at Alina whose face was red, probably in shame or perhaps because of what Da
Bella was surprised at his approval and at the same time, it kind of hurt knowing he was ready to throw her out as soon as his fiancée was here. But she had been preparing herself for this day since she had moved here, hadn't she? Still, the damn feelings of hers were not tamed enough to stay buried.She huffed out a loud, "GREAT!" and immediately threw the top of the bag on it to close the chain. She grabbed the handle and threw the bag down on the ground, ready to drag the bag out of the room but Damon grabbed it and threw it back on the bed,"Where will you go?" he asked calmly."Back to my own family? Where else do you think?""No, sweetheart, you are moving out of THIS house, but not back to your own pack."Bella drew in a shocked breath, "What?! Then where?""To the pack house." Damon grabbed her hand and started pulling her out of the room, "and I will be moving in there with you."Bella was too surprised to notice him drag her to the pack house with his hand in her own, "You ar
Bella still could not believe his words. She had always, from the very first day of meeting him had thought that she was the reason they were not going to be together. She had always blamed herself for not being good enough for him, for not being powerful enough for him. Was he lying to her to save her from the heartache?She gulped down hard as emotions overwhelmed her. Her eyes could not hold the tears swimming in them any longer as they fell on her cheeks and she burst out, "Then what the hell is the problem? Why are you getting married to someone else when you are in my bed every night? Why am I the one being forced to hide as your lover when your fiancée moves to your pack? Why are you forcing me to go through everything that should not even be between us?"Damon straightened on his heels, and both of his hands grabbed her face in his palms, his hold was gentle but his eyes were burning like fire, "Bella," for the first time, she heard a shiver in his voice when he spoke, "trust m
"Damon?" she let out a small voice. Her body shivered in fright. The aura of his wolf was almost unbearable to her own small, powerless wolf. The way he peered down at her was even more frightening. She had never expected to encounter his wolf once again like this. Alone, scared the hell out of her mind, and in the middle of an emotional breakdown."Are you afraid of me?" he grunted.Bella could feel the blood trickling down from her neck to her back and down to her breast. The throbbing pain was making her aware that this was not a nightmare. She was actually, in reality, alone with Damon's 'True Alpha' form, with no one to save her from anything that was going to happen next.He leaned forward, his face bending down until it was a breath away from hers, "You are terrified." he
"What?" Bella whispered, her words barely audible while the fear that had already engulfed her and had strengthened to the point of choking her.The wild gaze of Damon's wolf stared into her eyes, merciless, rude, and dominant when he continued speaking in a way that seemed like a pleasant, satisfying memory in his heart for him, "It was almost midnight. What a night it was." he grinned with absolute contentment on his face,"Firstly, it was those motherfuckers who were surrounding this human's mother. Then I turned, and found the frightened face of his father barking absolute bullshit about controlling me to his useless wolf like pets. He was absolutely freaked out of his god damn mind!" he laughed a little humorously and licked his lips, "aahhh... he made the first move, you know? He approached me before I took my first step towards h
"Has he returned yet?" Alina asked worriedly as her hand shot to her neck to caress as a nervous gesture she had unknowingly picked up over the years.Roman shook his head in refusal and continued to pace inside the room. He did not want to leave Bella alone with Alina in a room. His mind was racing as he thought about what action to take next. Or what else to do except to guard Bella in her room while she slept on the bed with bandages on her whole body. He did not know what had happened two nights ago or how Bella had gotten so much injured by Damon. He would never had expected for Damon to be so much ruthless to even hurt his own mate so severely, even if he did not have any intention of mating with her. But the truth was in front of his eyes along with the injured girl that laid in the bed without moving even a finger.The whole pac
