Why didn’t her father ever tell her about this?Stage Two of their bonding ceremony was her moving into the same room with Damein.So here she was…The walls were lined with symbols, faintly glowing under the low light, their meaning unmistakable even if she didn’t know the full ritual behind them.The air here felt heavier here, like in a way she just couldn’t explain.Her gaze drifted across the space slowly.But the one that really stood out…one single bed for the both of them.Of course..just great.Her lips pressed together faintly.So this was how they intended to do it.They weren’t even going to take it slow or something, they’re basically trying to force this.She exhaled slowly and stepped further in, her fingers brushing lightly against one of the carved markings on the wall. “This really doesn’t feel like a

After hours on horseback walking through the near death lands, the Death Valley soon came into view.Damien felt it first in the air.It was different. Like somehow heavier and thicker than it was at the Nightwing pack and the Mooncrest.Damien rode at the front, his posture straight, his gaze fixed ahead. The warriors behind him remained silent and as ever alert. Every man there knew exactly where they were riding into.Enemy territory.And not just any enemy.Death Valley.By the time the gates came into view, a line of armed guards was already waiting.Of course they were.They didn’t lower their weapons as Damien approached. If anything, their grips tightened.“Stop there.”The command rang out sharply.Damien pulled his horse to a halt without hesitation. His men followed suit behind him.A guard stepped forward, his eyes sweeping over them with open hostility.“State your business,” he said. “Nightwing Alpha.”There was no respect in the title.If anything, it felt like a challe
They attacked me…and now somebody had to answer for it.It was as simple as that for Damien.The council chamber was already filled up as Damien himself called for it.They were murmurs going on, small side talks, but once Damein stepped through the doors, everybody went dead silent.He didn’t waste time.He walked to the center of the room, his posture straight and he kept his expression unreadable He let the silence settle fully before speaking.“I was attacked last night.”The reaction was immediate.“What?”“Attacked? Inside the territory?”“That’s impossible—”The voices rose over each other, panic and anger and worry all laced in it. Damien didn’t interrupt them. He let them speak out their minds before continuing.“Five warriors,” he added calmly. “It was a planned assasiantion on me. And in fact they were foreign attackers..”Elder Hadrien finally spoke. “And you’re certain this wasn’t an internal matter? Some rogue element within the pack?”Damien’s gaze shifted to him.“No
It was almost like a wake up call, but once Damien took in another step, he knew a strike was coming.His body reacted before his mind fully caught up, as his muscles tensed up.And almost as predicted, the first strike came…it was from his left.A blade cut through the air where his neck had been a second earlier, and Damien twisted away on instinct, his hand snapping out to catch the attacker’s wrist. The force of it jarred up his arm, but he didn’t loosen his grip. He drove his elbow forward into the man’s throat.The attacker staggered back...Damien didn’t give him time to recover.He stepped in, turned his body, and snapped the warrior’s neck with a clean twist.The crack echoed loudly in the forest.But there was no pause or even a moment to catch his breath.Damien scented more coming…Two more came at him immediately, one from the front and the other from behind. Damien shifted back, barely avoiding the first swing aimed at his ribs. The second attacker closed in fast, aimin
And just like that..the kiss happened…The silence after it was absolute and deafening…Serena was the first to pull out…She had been trying her very best to hate Damien since he came back. He turned on her at the academy. He couldn’t even greet her goodbye only to hear he got a girl pregnant…And
Serena woke slowly, the warm rays of sunlight filtering into the room.For a minute, her eyes still felt heavy and her throat dry and sour.Her eyelids continued to flutter, like they didn’t want to open yet…When they finally opened, the world came back to her in a single tidal wave.The ceiling a
“This isn’t good..” the moment the healer said those words Damein’s breathing stopped.The maid tensed up…she didn’t do it, but she knew that whatever happened with Serena would determine her fate.If Serena survived, then she had her witness and also, Damien would be a little forgiving. But if she
Serena took the first bite of the pancakes, and then the second and then another one…“Still alive.”Damien’s voice cut through the process of her chewing.:.Serena glanced up at him, unimpressed. She finished swallowing before answering him.“Disappointed?” she shot back.A flicker of amusement fl
