“Have you had any sleep, Dameon?”I asked, caressing his cheek, tracing the eye bags that were underneath his eyes. “ you need to sleep.”His jaws clenched, “ I couldn't sleep, not after what he did to you.”“I am okay now.” I tried to reason with him.“ No, you not,” he took in a deep breath, “look at what he did to you, look at what he did to your face,” he growled, “ and him trying to force himself on you- I should have killed that bastard, fuck!”“ No Damoen!, the beating you gave him was enough,” I said, warning him, as his eyes started to glow, giving way to his wolf side. I held his hands trying to calm him down. I just wanted to get the day over with and forget about the night event.“ It's really over now, okay?” I whispered as our forehead touched.He clenched his fists as we looked at each other, and I saw the effort he was using to hold himself back from storming out of my room to finish what he had started with Felix. “ I will make sure he will ne
Adam's friend looked alarmed, and he quickly retreated down the stairs and out of sight, but not before mumbling that he would see Adam later. Adam just crossed his arms giving me a condescending smile. “ You know eavesdropping isn't classy. But I guess, what do you expect from a slut”“ Don't you dare call me that, your brother assaulted me!” “Assaulted you! You were asking for it, with what you wore to the game. That's right I saw you dressed all pretty” I thought back to what I wore to the game, I had worn a crop top and jeans. But I knew it didn't matter what I wore, he would have come after me no matter what I had worn. “ You are very disgusting, you and your brother,” I snapped back. “ And I hope he never wakes up from that coma!”I watched as he went red from anger “Watch your mouth, you little bitch.” He growled as he approached me. Before I could move away, he grabbed me, pulling me towards him. I flinch at the feeling, remembering how his brother had grabbed me that night.
I almost thought that he wasn't going to say anything until we got inside that house. I realized that Dameon was also there, sitting on the sofa. “ Dameon, I thought I asked double to go home,” Ralph's voice was on the edge.“What happened?” Dameon asked as he ignored him looking past him, his eyes reaching me.Ralph shakes his head in growing irritation, turning back to me. “ why did you do that, Willow? Turning to violence is unlike you. I mean, I would expect it from Dameon but not from you.”I wanted to hide as he raised his voice at me. “ I-I didn't mean to!” I said, trying to defend myself. “ He was spreading rumors around and just saying stuff a- and–”He did not let me finish before cutting me off“ Did he throw the first punch?”“ No, but he–”I was already getting walked up that he wasn't letting me defend myself,“ Then why the hell did you do it?!” He asked raising his voice more, he looked furious “ He upset me and he was spreading
During one of my depressive episodes, Ralph came to see me after I had rejected the third meal of the day refusing to eat anything.“ Why aren't you eating?” He asked me as I lay in bed turning my face away from him“ cause I'm not hungry,”“ You are a growing teenager and you need all the nutrients you can get. You need to eat,”I did not reply. He sighs at my silence, clearly already fed up with my attitude. “ You need to see a doctor, Willow. This behavior…its-its not normal,”I curl into myself and tighten my arms around myself. The thought of leaving the comfort of my room for some stranger to evaluate me sounded terrible. Does he think I'm crazy? Is that why he wants me to see some shrink?I turned to look at him, “ you think that I am not normal?”“ No! No, that is not what I meant.” He tried to explain, “You need help, Willow, I– I just want you to get better, and I don't think I am the right person to help to do that.”I hated the way he was speaking to me. Like I was some
I felt my stomach drop as I followed his gaze, “Oh, th- this are–” I tore myself from his embrace, rushing over to the table to grab them, blocking his view from them. I scooped them from the table so that I could put them somewhere else where he wouldn't see them, but one of the bottles fell and loudly clattered to the floor.I felt my face get hot as I bent to pick it up, “ shit, can this day get any worse,” I muttered under my breath.But then Dameon is next to me; he gently grabs my arm, retraining me from picking the bottle up, “Willow, stop,” he said.“ But. I- I do- don't want you to–” My voice trembled, and I was mortified as I started sobbing.“ Hey, Hey, it's going to be okay,” he said as he pulled me off the floor, putting his arms around my waist and knees as he lifted me up, carrying me to the bed. “ what going on?” he asked as he set me down on the bed, sitting down beside me before bringing me into his embrace.The tenderness and questions made me
When I woke up to an empty bed, I felt my heart drop, thinking that I dreamt it all up. I quickly got out of bed, spotting a little note on my nightstand. The writing on it was messy; it read: good morning sweetie, had a morning call, will see you later, with a funny face drawn beside it. I found myself smiling as I pulled out my phone to text him, taking a picture of the note and sending it to him.Me: you could have just texted meAlmost immediately he replies Dameon: I could have, but I guessed you would love the note.Me: I do I added a heart emoji to my message, giggling. I felt like I was floating, I loved what I was feeling. Then I remembered that I had to go back to school as my suspension had ended. I quickly got ready for school.I wore a knitted striped sweater with jeans, humming to myself as I got ready.School was the usual whispers and stares, just that this time, it wasn't about what Felix did to me, but about what I did to Adam.
“ My pleasure, let me get your present,” he left the room for a second, coming back with a box wrapped in pink.“Oh, you did not have to,” I said, trying to hold back my tears.“ Open it,” he said, encouraging me.So I did, pulling the wrapping off and bringing out a dark blue hoodie from Forever 21 that I literally wanted for a while now. “ Oh my gosh! Ho-how did you know?”He looked a bit sheepish, scratching the back of his head. “ I may have had a little help from your friends.”I immediately put it on, seeing that it fits perfectly. I spin in a circle for him, “ it fits perfectly!” I exclaimedI hugged him. “ Thank you, this is the best gift ever.”“ I'm so glad you like it, I was scared that I got you the wrong size.We finished breakfast happily, talking about our week, this was the first time in weeks I was genuinely happy. As we were doing the dishes, I suddenly heard a car honking outside. I ran to the porch to see who it was, I giggled as
I looked at my phone, hoping to see a text from Dameon, but there was still nothing. I was kind of disappointed. I put the phone down, telling myself not to get my hopes high, and left to take a shower.When I got out of the shower, I decided to watch some movies before bed. As I was about to start the movie, I heard my phone ding with a message. I looked at it, lightening up as I stared at the contact name on the screen. Dameon: come outsideI wasted no time putting on my shoes and rushed downstairs, my heart pounding in my chest.I couldn't believe he came! I was nearly floating with happiness. I opened the door to see him standing by the porch steps, with his leather jacket and the familiar feeling of butterflies exploding in my stomach.“ You came,” I said excitedly “ I didn't forget,” he gave a small smirk, pulling something out of his pocket. A golden bracelet dangles in his hands.“ I uh, didn't have time to wrap it up, but…I made this for you,”
"Do you want to know where you can find her?" I suddenly said, my voice shaking with restraint as I held myself back from losing it.He looked confused. "What?""Come here. I'll tell you," I said, beckoning him closer.He must have lost all his brain cells when I beat him up the first time because he listened. He walked over like the moron that he is. "You're saying I can fuck him?" He asked, coming right up to the bars.That's it. I swiftly knelt down to the ground, yanking the chain attached to his ankle up and looping it around his neck. His eyes bulge in surprise and he sputters, struggling and choking as I pulled the metal chain around his airway."You're going to rot in hell," I seethe, yanking it even tighter and pulling him against the silver bars. He howls in pain as they start to burn his face, choking and clawing at his throat. He looked at me with one desperate, internally bleeding eye, as if begging me to stop."That's right," I snarl, "Let me see you scared. You know wha
DAMEON'S POV CONTINUED...I woke up on a cold, hard floor once again, my back against a hard cement wall. I was dirty and my clothes were ripped. And the memory of what happened came flooding back. How Tristan had threatened me and how I lost controlI cursed under my breath, grunting as I pulled my aching body up from the floor. I looked around confused. Where was I? I was not in the same place as before and it was dark, the only light small wall lamp across the room. And There were bars. Cell bars. I was in the park prison.It smelled like shit, the room was dark. I walked to the bars and went to test if I would be able to break through them. I hissed in pain as they stung the skin on my hands, realizing they must be infused with silver. fucking dammit. How was I going to get out of here?I tried kicking the bars with my shoe to avoid contact but they didn't budge. The bars were cemented into the ground. I groaned and braced my forearms against the wall in frustration. I needed to
My blood ran cold. Because by council ordinances, the punishment for an enemy infiltrating the pack was execution.He laughed at the look on my face."Not so tough now, are you?""Fuck. You." I growled, trying not to lose it."Curse at me all you want. It's not going to get you anywhere. I'm in charge here, and I have the power to do whatever I want with your mate,"My eyes widened, my heart seizing in alarm. "No. Don't you dare bring her into this? I will take the blame for everything!" I quickly tried to change the course of the conversation back to me instead of my mate."Do you mean that?""Yes. Just don't touch her. Please Don't touch her. Please." I begged, a desperate tone coming to my voice. Not willow. Anything but that."Don't try to act like you are some sort of valiant hero saving your mate. You're rogue scum. Remember that,"I bit back any retaliation, letting him say what he wanted. What I couldn't afford was to make the situation worse
Dameon's povSince Willow wanted to get ready separately and I had to go get the bouquet, we agreed that I would go to my place while she stayed at the house. I hated leaving her alone, but she said that her friend would come over during the day, so that gave me some relief. I drove up the road, thinking about what Zed and I found the other day. Some strange underground garden under the city. There was Definitely some type of drug being grown from the plant and I took a sample home as evidence. What Zed and I planned to do was to get Tristen on trial with the council once we gathered enough evidence that would connect this all back to him. I used to question whether he was actually involved in this but now I have no doubt. He has secretive meetings with other alphas of the pack and tries to hide it all from me. What a prick. I approached the turn that led to my father's house when I saw something in the road. I slowed down a bit to stop when I realized i
DAMEON'S POV ( earlier that day)My phone lit up with a message from my mate from where it lay on the counter as I walked into my room. I smiled, setting down the bouquet of flowers I got for him to answer the text.My sweetie: What time are you coming?Me: 5. Is that okay?My sweetie: yes!! What are you gonna wear?Me: not tellingMy sweetie: hmph!! Why notI grinned to myself, leaning over the counter Me: you'll see me soon enoughMy sweetie: I bet you would be wearing what you always wear. Black shirt and jeansMe: Now, you are wrong…I was planning to wear my special white shirtMy sweetie: your sleeping shirt?? Cuz That's the only non-black piece of clothing you own...Me: We can't all wear cute little outfits every dayMy sweetie: I'll take that as a compliment. U think my outfits are cuteMe: ur cute.Shortcake: yea yea…thanks for the compliment.God, I must look like an idiot just laughing and grinning at m
"Ok so show me the whole look," Lia Said from the bed, her hand stuffed in a bag of mini donuts.We were in my room right now and I was getting ready for my first date with Dameon, which I was really excited for. I quickly changed into the outfit I had in mind. Mid-waist, dark bootcut jeans with Converse, paired with a white bell sleeve top with cute tie lacing at the front.Lia squealed when she saw me, jumping off the bed and coming over to me. She pulled the moon bracelet Dameon gifted to me out from under the top sleeve."You look so cute," she said, "He's gonna love it. He'd probably love it even if you wore a trash bag,""Thanks," I grinned, looking at myself in the mirror. My hair had grown out a bit; I should probably get it trimmed soon before it started to look all like a messy sheep mane."Wait, I forgot I had something to give you! You totally need to wear it! You totally need to wear it on your date," she went over to her bag, rifling through it before pu
It has been a few days, and Ralph has been declared comatose. His vitals were thankfully stable, not that it provided any relief for Dameon. He still goes to the hospital constantly to check if his father is okay and if the doctors and nurses are doing their jobs correctly. I go with him whenever I can. Although I do not have any parents, I felt Dameon's pain and worries. He was constantly on the edge and worried that something would happen to Ralph. He was so stressed The other day we had an argument about how he saw Jake's arm around me when he picked me up from a hangout with my friends. Of course, I apologized immediately but then he was asking all these questions about why an alpha was hanging out with a group of omegas or if I let him touch me like that all the time. Of course, I broke down crying and then he felt bad so we just hugged and decided notto talk about it anymore. It didn't feel great that we didn't resolve it, So, things haven't been the best between us. But it w
We passed out flyers for the upcoming play today, and by we, I mean Lia, bri, Jake, and I. When the theatre teacher first gave them to me, I Planned to pass them out on my own,n, but Jakoverheardard the conversation and insisted on helping me. Then one thing led to another and now we were all in an awkward huddle in the hallway.Jake clears his throat. Bri scratches her hair."Guys, I literally can't take this weird vibe we are having right now, so someone says something," Lia said, breaking the awkward silence."Something," Jake said, trying to be funny.Lia crossed her arms at him. "Very Funny, ball boy. Remind me why we're doing this again? The play is like months away,""The teacher said no one will come if we advertise last minute,""Are you two even in the play?""I'm the assistant of anAssistant..." I said. "Hm, I am an extra" Jake said.Lia and Bri share a look, and she sighs, pinning one of the flyers to the bulletin board we stood in front of."Can we also put one higher
I was in the central room watching TV now, courtesy of Dameon who had to carry me there. But all my mind could focus on was the fact that I was no longer a virgin. It was exciting. It felt like a right of passage into adulthood. And the physical proof of it was in the marks he had made all over me. I looked in the mirror after our bath and couldn't believe what I saw. He was like a leech!I smiled to myself, turning my attention back to my show. It was not long before I heard a knock at the door. He walked from the kitchen down the hallway to check. I couldn't see anything from where I was seated, so I patiently waited for him to come back.Then I saw him re-emerge alone. "Who Was it?" I asked."...Your friends. Should I let them in?"That was funny. How did they know I was at Dameon's? I really didn't feel like seeing anyone right now, but Lia and Jake were there for me yesterday, and I didn't want to be rude and turn them away. So I gave him a nod and he went back
