Sherry's POV: "I swear to the moon goddess, if she doesn't wake up soon, I'm going to fucking kill the both of you, do you hear me? I'll rip you into pieces!" I heard Damon's loud, furious growl, which was followed by a very pleasant scent that made my heart flutter and my mouth water. I groaned in pain and moved my hand to my forehead, gently rubbing it. I had a terrible headache. "Oh, Sherry. Thank goodness you're awake," he whispered in relief, then gently grabbed my hand as I frowned. The tingles I felt were unlike anything I had ever felt in my life. The pain I was experiencing instantly subsided, and my body relaxed. "Damon, water," I forced out the words. "Right away," Maggie's voice came through. As Damon helped me sit upright, I could hear movements and loud heartbeats coming from my left side. "Where are Lee and Chase?" I asked in a husky voice. "We're here," Lee answered in a sad tone. "Oh," I whispered, then took a deep breath. The scent was alluring and filled t
Ian's POV: What sort of nonsense was I witnessing? It was absurd to think that the simple private wedding had already taken place, yet we were still being asked to stay back! My mind was back with my pack; it had been a long time since I left Neo in charge. "You know it's a happy day, you don't have to look like you're attending a freaking funeral," Felix whispered softly. She was sitting comfortably next to me, with a glass of tequila shot in one hand. "Remind me again why you're here?" I asked sarcastically. "Well, for once, Uncle is like a father to me, but besides that, I wanted to be a part of this," she answered, then chuckled nervously. "Did Chase go somewhere?" I asked seriously. "Yes, he went out with Lee to find out about a stolen family crest," she answered and took a shot. "That answers it all. It was shocking enough that you would come here looking all lonely and shit. Like, who could have guessed you really were?" I mocked. "Ian," Amelia called in a cold tone.
Chase's POV: "So we only have to find a way, that's all, right?" I asked Lee seriously. "Yes, because the auction starts in thirty minutes," he answered while looking in the mirror. We made reservations in time and got a room right on top of the underground building where the auction was being held. The only problem was that we had no way to get in besides the main entrance. The whole place was heavily guarded and shielded with magic. "Hey, I know your family crest is very important, but is it worth your life?" I asked softly. He glanced at me, then frowned deeply. "It is worth more than my life. Look, a crest to my people is like one's identity. Just having the symbol of the crest on my clothes or car makes everyone know which family I belong to. Not only that, the crest is a generational item filled with unbelievable magical elements infused in it. Whoever has it gets to experience power beyond their imagination," he answered as I raised a brow. "So in short, whoever has it h
August's POV: HATE! That was what I felt with each and every loving interaction that happened between Sharon and Logan. I wasn't jealous that they were together, or at least that's what I thought. Instead, I was angry because I had no mate. "Focus!" Neo's loud voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "Can we rest for a bit? I'm very tired," I whispered, then brushed the sweat off my forehead with my hand. "You know in our pack, we don't get to rest until we are told to by a lead warrior or a Beta," Neo said, and I looked at him coldly. Was he forgetting that I was a Beta, or was he just being sarcastic? "First of all, I am a Beta, and secondly, this is not my pack. Now, excuse me, I'll be retiring to my room," I answered, then walked to the pack house. I couldn't understand why Whitney and Leo had not called me yet. I knew it was their wedding, but they were supposed to come back home as soon as the wedding was done! Were they planning on making me stay here for a few weeks? If tha
August's POV: "Are you saying you want to go back without Whitney's approval?" Neo asked seriously. "What is hard to understand? I want nothing to do with this pack, so yes, I want to go back," I replied calmly. "Something came up, so I have to go back," I answered calmly. "What? Is there something important that you can't share even with me?" he asked seriously. "Yes, it's personal. Look, Neo, I'm not encouraging you to send me off right now. I'm just telling you so you could be aware," I answered, then stood up from my seat. "I'm leaving today, but Sharon will stay behind. Only when I talk to Whitney will she be a part of this pack," I said as he stood up and faced me. "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?" he asked seriously. "That's because I am," I answered calmly. "And what is that?" he asked. I didn't want to lie, but I had no choice but to tell him the truth. "I'm in love with Sharon. Seeing her with another guy hurts my heart," I answered. He frown
Damon's POV: "What?" Sherry asked with a smile on her face. "Nothing," I answered, then grabbed her hand, gently stroking it. A few days had gone by since the guys came to ask for help, and since then, she had been so happy. She was joyous and did things cheerfully. Whenever we talked, she could sense her wolf within her, but her wolf had no strength to communicate with her. She pointed out that it was just a matter of time until she got her wolf back. That was supposed to make me feel happy, but it didn't. It actually scared me a lot because I had no idea how she would react to my scar. Would it disturb her or scare her? "She loves us, and she isn't like other she-wolves," my wolf growled. He was displeased by my thoughts. "You know, loving someone has nothing to do with fearing them or finding them disturbing. She loves us for what is inside us and not what is outside. That I know, but seeing a scarred man as your lover is something else," I answered silently, then tensed wh
Damon's POV: I watched calmly as Sherry walked ahead slowly. I could tell by her facial expression that she really liked the place when we reached it. "So, what do you think of this place?" I asked simply. "It's magical," she responded, then turned and faced me. "Why did you keep this place a secret for so long?" she asked. I moved closer and linked my right hand with hers. "A lot of things have happened since we met, but believe me when I say that I was going to show it to you sooner or later," I answered. She chuckled softly, then moved her free arm around my shoulder. "Does anyone visit this little place?" she asked seriously. "Only couples do, but whenever I'm here or I want to take a bath, I inform everyone through the mind-link," I answered. "Then how about we take off our clothes and have a nice bath?" she asked. I smirked, then leaned in and brushed the tip of my nose against hers. "I love that idea," I answered softly. I was about to kiss her lips when I froze.
Sherry's POV: I quickly ran into Damon's arms, hugging him tightly as soon as he stepped out of his car. I felt so relieved that I could use my wolf's vision because I could see he wasn't hurt in any way. Only a few hours had gone by, yet it felt like many years to me. "You're back and safe," I whispered softly as he chuckled. "Of course I am. I'm sorry I didn't call Alec to inform you that I was okay and on my way back home," he said, then lifted me up in a bridal style and walked into the pack house, ignoring the stares of our pack members. Once we were in the living room, he let me down and went on to greet Maggie, who was sitting on the sofa. "I'm back," he said softly, then moved and stood opposite her as she smiled and nodded at him. Alec walked into the room and leaned against the door frame with a wide smile on his face. His eyes were directed at Damon's back trouser pocket. "Luna, I'm glad to inform you that the Alpha bought something for you," he said as I turned an
