The next morning, I made up my mind to get out of bed and go to school, no longer moping around in my room. I was only making it worse by staying in my room all day with no social interaction.
As I got ready, pulling on some black skinny jeans, my mind replayed the event of yesterday. How Dameon got so close to my face, his dark brows furrowed in some emotion I couldn’t place. He wasn’t acting like his usual self. Had he really been… concerned about me?I knew I was being stupid for even considering that. There was no way he would care for me. But when I remembered how it felt to be in his hands, how safe I felt against his chest, I wished it was true.But those are just silly thoughts. My friends were crazy enough to see him as a romantic prospect for me but I’m certainly not. I did my best to shake the thoughts of Dameon from my mind grab my bag and go downstairs.Ralph was kind enough to drive me to school today which I was really grateful for. I didn’t want to faWillow povAfter getting a lecture from Lia about the importance of keeping your phones on and about communication, I head to my first class. It was algebra, so it kind of sucks, but we just had to do a simple worksheet, so I just tried to get it done as quickly as possible. As I was finishing up with the last problem, I felt like someone was watching me so I looked up just to find a guy who was sitting a couple of decks away from me looking at me. When he saw that I had caught him, he quickly flashed me a sheepish smile, showing his perfectly aligned white teeth.I smiled back shyly, blushing a bit because he’s pretty cute. He has curly brown hair and caramel skin, and soft grey eyes ringed with long dark eyes. I don’t know why he was looking at me, but it was a nice change because attractive guys usually treat me like I was invincible, or like I’m an annoyance, in Dameon’s case. Gosh, did I just admit that Dameon is attractive.?Anyway, I think the guy's name is J
The bell interrupted my thoughts. I grab my things and walked out of the class to the hallway. I hate the hallways. The chatter of students is really overwhelmimg and people always bump into each other.“ Um, hey,” I hear someone say behind me, but I paid no heed to it because its was probably someone passing by who was talking to their friend.“Hi? Willow?” the voice continues, and I turned back and looked up with wide eyes at the alpha who approached me“ oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were talking to me!” I say, my cheeks burning up.Jake chuckles, looking kind of embarrassed as well. “No worries. You probably didn’t expect me to talk to you suddenly,”“it’s fine,” I smiled with reassurance. “What’s…up?” I felt kindof awkward. I didn’t want to make a bad impression to a popular guy, in case he choose to target me like Adam does.‘’ you must have noticed me staring at you earlier in class. I-I wasn’t trying to be weird or anything, I was just cu
I waited at the pick-off area after watching Lia and Brianna leave; I kept a lookout for Ralph's grey car. But instead, I see Dameon's sleek black car pulling up behind me. I get in, looking confused. “I thought Ralph was going to pick me up”?“ He’s busy with pack duties”“Okay,” we sit in awkward silence. I didn’t know what to say to him after what happened the last time we met. As I was trying to think of what to say, I spotted a bloody gash on his arms“ Oh my God, Dameon! You’re bleeding!” I gasp at the sight as I cover my mouth. The sight of blood made me nauseous.“ Thanks for letting me know; I had no idea,” he replied sarcastically as he droves, looking unfazed by his injury.“ How can you drive with that, aren’t you in pain”“ I had no idea that getting a little injury made someone an invalid”“ That not a little injury! Oh, that looks bad. We need to, we need to—” I grasp the dashboard, feeling a wave of nausea pass over me. I close my eyes shut, trying to stop my lunch fr
He smirks. “ can see the little gears in that pretty head of yours, but don’t worry I don’t think you’re the reason behind it,” I blush at his remarks. “ why? You don’t still think I’m a spy?” He shakes his head in amusement. “ No, you are just too naïve to be a spy” “ what?!” I cross my hand and pout in defense. “ I’m not that naïve” “ yes, you are. You fall to easily when people tease you.” “gosh, you are just like this Alpha at my school.” That seemed to catch his attention. “ An Alpha?” he asks his expression darkening I consider whether or not to tell him the event of the day but decided to anyway. “well, he said he wanted to be friend with me. Then tricks me that I had his name wrong. And he said it was because I was to fun to tease.” Dameon looked shocked, rubbing a hand over his face. “ seriously, I cant believe you. You are definitely too naïve” “ And you are definitely wrong”
Chapter 18What I did expect was the uncomfortable silence that followed after I spoke. Dameon looks at the cup in his arms with a plank expression as Lucien looks from his son to me worriedly.“That’s great, Willow.” Ralph says, “ I guess you are at that age now where you want to know more about nature.”“ what do you guys know about mates?” I hoped I had not overstepped. I don’t know why they’re acting like this. Did I say something wrong?.Ralph looks at me hesitantly, glancing at Dameon who didn’t look too happy. “ well mates_”“ mates are a complete sham,” he interjects, scowling,” a stupid waste of time to spend dreaming about”I felt something break inside me as soon as the words left his mouth like I was hoping that he would say anything else but that.“ Dameon,” Ralph said with a warning in his voice“ what? It's not a lie” he continues unfazed by his father’s glare. “ but I guess someone who spends their time with their head in the cloud wouldn’t understand” he continues sta
Chapter 19The next day and the next day after, Dameon and I gave each other the silent treatment. When he was driving me to school or back, I always kept my head. And when we did talk, his voice was cold and emotionless. More than being angry, it made me really sad.I know that I brought up something he didn’t like but do I really deserve this? I wasn’t trying to offend him, I was just curious. He was the one who lashed out and, in turn, made me lash out. I was getting tired of him acting like this after a few days of it.It was the same as usual this morning as he was driving to school. I was surprised he was still taking me to school. His relationship with Ralp was rocky b, but I guess he won't disobey him to a degree.As I was still receiving the cold shoulder, I found myself signing multiple times, and I could tell that it was getting on his nerves,s, so I kept doing it. It was not long before he finally snapped.“ what fucking is it”?” he snarls, turning to
Hey, watch your mouth, bitch,” Adam snaps. “ and pick up that pencil for me,” he says, pointing to the yellow pencil he just dropped.“What?” I looked at him like he had lost his mind.“ I said pick it up” he demandsI almost laugh at the audacity of his request. I summoned all the courage in me for my response, taking Lia's advice to stand up for oneself, and I was tired of taking his shit any longer.“ No.”He raises his eyebrows in shock, surprised that someone disobeyed him. “ what did you just say to me?”“ I said no! I didn’t stutter,” I said, glaring at him. Then I flip him off.I was shaking as adrenaline coursed through me, the only that was powering me at that point. I couldn’t believe that I stood up to Adam. I had never flipped someone off like that in all my years of living.The barely restrained rage on his face made me realize that I had made a grave mistake,I rushed out of class as soon as the bell rang. I managed to see my friend
Well, that’s me,” I said as we approached Dameon’s car.Jay seemed disappointed, reaching out to grasp my hand to stop me from leaving. “ could we hang out sometime?, like outside school” he askedI smiled brightly. “ sure! My friends would love to meet you. They would be so excited”He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. “ actually, I meant just-““ willow. Do I have to wait all day?” a familiar deep voice called out behind me and I turned to see that Dameon had rolled down the window. I struck out my tongue to hum before turning back to Jake.“Sorry, what you were saying?”“It's nothing,” he said quickly, “ see you tomorrow.“ see you!” I waved at him before getting into the car.I ignored Dameon as I pulled out my phone to text my friends. I decided to ignore him to give him a taste of his own medicine. He doesn’t speak either, but I could feel his gaze on me. There was this weird tension in the air and it was making me apprehensive.Whe
He spread them with his large hands, eyes flashing in feral hunger as they looked over my slick-coated inner thighs."Fuck," he growled, "You're soaking,"I whimpered as he grazed his teeth over the inner side of my knee, moving roughly over the skin. He sucked and bit down my thighs, licking up my juices as he pressed his face into my milky skin. He got nearer and nearer to the place where I was most needy, leaving hickeys in his wake. The sensation of his mouth on me was almost too much to bear and I squirmed, feeling myself getting more aroused.When he reached my pussy he stopped, hands spreading my thighs further, I covered my face in embarrassment as I felt more slick drip out of me. My heart was making me insatiable. "You're leaking," his tone was laced with lust as he looked up at me from where he was positioned."Y-You made me like this ..!" I accused, flustered.'Damn right,"Then he buried his face between my thighs and I cried out as he started to lick me. He did it long an
He took his time.I saw the feral look in his eyes that told me he wanted to take me right this very second, but he instead took the time to explore and ravish every inch of me.We were both naked on his bed, him painfully erect despite us only just starting. The sight of his rippling muscles and abs made me drool. He laid me down, completely exposed, and he attacked my neck, mouth connecting with the skin to kiss and nip at it. He did this over and over, making marks all over, every sensation it gave me going straight to my lower body. I cried out as he sucked at a certain spot on my neck that drove me wild, my legs kicking out from under him.He growled in response, my noises spurring him on as he moved on to my breast, mouth attaching to a nipple. I gripped his shoulders for support as he feasts on the hardened pink peaks, rolling it between his teeth before sucking on it, and fondling it, wrenching a strange moan out of me. Then he moved on to the other one he was previously fondl
I froze the realization weighing upon me like a tidal wave, sweeping me up in joy. Dameon was my mate. Mine and no one else's. I never imagined finding my other half.When we first met, I couldn't bring myself to reveal my true form out of fear. Because everything about him stood as a threat. Was so much stronger and bigger than me, an alpha from an enemy pack.But it was different now. Because he was my mate, the one I love. And I had nothing to hide from him anymore. So I let myself shift back, showing myself. My clothes are long gone, having ripped off when I transformed. I stood before him, bearing it all, the thin naked body I used to be so ashamed of, that he made me feel loved. Every single part of it.He took in a breath as he looked at me, all of me, his dark eyes glittering."You're beautiful,"Tears well up in my eyes and I sniffled. Never in my life would I have thought this was possible. To have a mate that adores me as much as he does."This whole time...did you know?"I
I woke up feeling extremely hot, and restless after dreaming about Dameon doing unspeakable things to me. I have been having a lot of wet dreams like that lately, which was a nice break from my usual nightmares.As I turned over in bed, moving my legs, I was confused when I felt the wetness between them. I hastily yanked down my pants, pulling off my underwear to see if I was on my period. But there were no blood stains. It just looked sticky and clear...I had never gotten wet without direct stimulation from Dameon before so it was a little bit off. Embarrassed, I pulled off my soiled bottoms and threw them in the hamper. Maybe it was just a normal thing for omegas.I still felt really feverish when I got to school, dizzy and wanting something to quench this feeling. I was super dehydrated. On my second bottle of water in 2nd period, Jake glanced at me strangely. We had not spoken about what went down with Brianna before the break, the air was awkward and silent between us."Are you
In the days that followed after I had revealed everything, Dameon was very gentle with me. He seemed worried about even touching me sometimes. He probably didn't want to scare me again, especially after knowing what happened to me. While I appreciated his concern it was really not necessary. I Trusted him with everything I had. And I sealed that trust by telling him my truth.The past still haunts me. I still get nightmares and horrible flashbacks. I still get anxious and sad and mad and all those negative feelings that have been pent up inside me for so long. But I also felt a bit lighter. I felt like a weight had come off my chest. It was really nerve-wracking to confess my past to him. Because I was afraid of judgment. Afraid of it being real.But all that mattered to Dameon was that I had been hurt. That's it. He didn't think of me as disgusting or dirty or bad the things I thought of myself because of what happened to me. He cared that I had been harmed, cared that I had been har
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before continuing. "M-my dad left the pack when I was six. That forced my mom and I to live with my stepfather..."I went into the story of how she died from sickness and how abandoned I felt by my father."A-all I had left was Alpha Eric. But he--" my voice cracked, my heart caving in. I didn't know if I could say it. Saying It made it real. It made me have to acknowledge that it actually happened.Dameon looked like he was about to stop the whole thing, and I felt the need to press on. I wanted to get it out. I can do this."He liked...hurting me. U-Uh, it was fun for him, I think," I scratched at my hair, looking down so I didn't have to see his reaction."It all started when I was 10. After my mom died, He would Burn me. T-Try to drown me. Other stuff, too. I don't really remember it all. What I do know was that he would beat me almost every d-day. He would let his friends do it too. And when I m-misbehaved, he would lock me down in
When I got to school, everything was going well there, too, that was, up until lunch. I was walking down the hallway to meet Jake in the cafeteria when I bumped into the last person I wanted to see. Brianna."S-sorry," I said with wide eyes, quickly backing up. I tried to leave but her presence held me there, her arms crossed as she glared at me."Why didn't you reply to my message?" she asks.I already felt sweaty, my stomach turning in circles. "I-I didn't know what to say...""I would take that as you were at my house. You went into my room, didn't you?""No..." I bit my lip, avoiding her harsh glare. God, we may be the same height, but she was 10 times more intimidating than I Could ever be."Oh yeah? Well, my mom said differently. So it wasn't enough to steal Jake away? You had to go into my private space?"I clenched my fists, anger building up to the surface. "I-I-You were the one who scratched me out of the photo! You called me fake!"I regret
"N-no," I wheezed in panic as I woke up from my nightmare. "Please don't-Please-" I whimpered. "D-Don't hurt me," I cried in a small voice, trembling as I shielded myself with my arms.The dark figure looms over me and it hits me that this feels all too real now."It's me, shortcake. You're safe, "Dameon's voice filters through the air, and I realize where I am now, the familiar nickname registering. My eyes adjust to the darkness, seeing him clearly. He looked strange-expression distorted by confusion, anger, and worry. All at the same time."O-Oh," I gasped, realizing I just said that to him. A wave of nausea rushed over me, and I threw the covers off me, stumbling out of bed as I rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door closed behind me as I fell on my knees at the toilet. I clutched the seat, recalling the horrible image of my stepfather. It was enough to have me vomiting up every last thing inside me, as little as that is.I heard Dameon outside, his voice laced with concern. "W
I woke up the next day feeling extremely depressed. I know I have always been depressed, But I was really feeling better lately. I should've known that would only last so long. I couldn't bring myself to move even an inch, much less get out of bed. I just wanted to lay wrapped up in the blankets all day.I watched as Dameon got ready, putting on a fresh shirt, and wearing his belt. His gaze came back to me almost every minute, and I could almost feel the unease emanating from him. Once he was done, he came to my side of the bed, kneeling down."Are you sure you're fine here? I can call in sick at work. Take you out," he said, his hand lightly caressing my face.I shook my head soberly but gave him a faint smile. "I-It's okay. I don't really wanna go anywhere,"He nodded in understanding, but he still looked conflicted. "I made some food for you. It's in the fridge,""Thank you." I nearly started to cry again at the sweet gesture, but held it in."Promise me you're going to eat it. Yo
