I ran around a tree, losing sight of him. I looked left and right, wondering where he could be in these twisted shadows of the trees.
But then I suddenly felt him grab me from behind, his arms around my waist as he pulled me against him."Gotcha," he said, smirking.I struggle playfully, trying to get away."Dameon!" I giggle, and he loosens his hold on me so I'm able to turn and face him. Only then did I realize how close we were, his arms around me. He stared back at me, his dark eyes glinting in the moonlight, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside them."You're breathtaking," he says. "You always have been "My eyes widened and I could only stand there in shock, trying to calm the firework explosion inside me. He thinks I'm breathtaking. Dameon Thinks I'm--!But I realize he's waiting, waiting for my response. So I tentatively put my hands on his chest, looking up at him. His strong jaw was clenched. I want him so much. I want all of him. I could not helpTristen drove us home, dropping Lia Off on the way. While I am so happy for her, all I can think about is the kiss with Dameon. My first kiss. And It was amazing. More than I could ever ask for. I know I didn't have any prior experience to go off, but he was freaking good.The thing is, I don't know what he thinks about it. What if it was just an in-the-moment thing for him? Was I too inexperienced for his liking? I want to know all these things, but at the same time, I don't. I'm just confused at this moment!I want to tell someone, but I know Lia is only focused on her new mate right now. And Brianna, well we all know how things have been with her lately. I don't have many friends so that only leaves Jake. But if Jake does like me, that would be insensitive. I thought about Ralph, but I don't really want to talk about how I Kissed his own son with him.I looked over at Tristen. He's been..nice lately if you can call it that."Tristen?""Yeah?""Um, I d
I rejected him, would he want to keep being friends after that? I don't know...I've never had to deal with something like this before. I felt so confused about everything.And Dameon was already taking up a lot of space in my mind, so much that I had been avoiding him. He texted me, asking if I got home okay but I didn't reply. I had told Ralph that I didn't need Dameon to drive me anywhere anymore too. I just didn't want to face him right now. Not after what Tristen said.I felt so stupid for letting Tristen's words affect me this much, but I couldn't ignore them.When I got home, I was not prepared to see Dameon, talking to an alpha I had never seen before on the driveway. He had brown hair with tattoos along his arms, just like Dameon. When I walked up, they stopped their conversation immediately as they both looked at me.My eyes widened in alarm, I clutched my bag tighter as I looked down, wanting to avoid eye contact. I found myself speeding up, quickly walki
I woke up with a gasp, my heart thundering as I checked my surroundings. I'm in my room. The one in Lucien's house. It's okay. I inhaled air like I was starved of it, my entire body still shaking. My pajamas were soaked from sweat. I put my hands to my face, trying to calm myself.It was not real. It didn't happen. I chant this to myself, flexing my throbbing hand. Even after all this time, I couldn't close my fist perfectly. I just had a nightmare. I was back in my room in the basement and I was being abused by my stepfather and Dameon. Why did my mind make me see Dameon smash it? My stepfather was the one who did that, not him. I hate the fact that my dreams can turn even people I trust against me.I massage my hand, trying to soothe the aches. I still remember the day my stepfather stepped on it. It's probably why I sucked at drawing. My hand wasn't steady like it was when I was younger. It's damaged, permanently. Yet another thing he's stolen from me.I shoved my face into my knee
I went home that day feeling like crap. I Didn't reply to Dameon's texts, and he doesn't text any more than that. I've probably made everything worse but there's nothing I could do.The house was lonely when I got back. Ralph was away until late, but that meant I could hoard all the snacks I wanted from the secret stash, so it was not too bad.Maybe it's because I was never allowed any sweet treats growing up that I was so addicted to them now.I was finishing up some homework later in the afternoon when Lia called me."How did things go with Brianna?" I asked nervously.She sighs. "We..talked. Talked about everything. I really missed her. And like, you're my bestie too but--things can't keep going on like this,"I bite my lip, dreading what's going to come next. Is she going to cast me out? "I know,""You guys need to sort it out. I don't want to be stuck in the middle anymore,”"I'm sorry," I immediately start, "T-this is all my fault--""Willow stop! I am not trying to make you take
His eyes darkened as he clenched his jaws. "I'll go mad,"The statement made me weak to my knees, his deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I took in a shaky breath, trying to read the emotions on his face. He looked so troubled, almost scared, even. And at what? The possibility that I won't see him anymore? Wanting to comfort him, I touched my forehead to his, bringing a hand to his face. Why does he make me feel like this? A few words from him and I'm already undone, ready to let him back in. He relaxes against my touch like it is what he has been waiting for."I don't want that," I say softly.But I am still uncertain. About Everything. About how he feels about me. It shows on my face because Dameon's brow creased in concern."What's wrong?" he asked."...I guess that I have been overthinking what happened at the bonfire.""Is that why you have been avoiding me?""Well, that night, um, Tristen said some things that made me-""Tristen?" Dameon's voice i
The sound of a car pulling up into the driveway jerked us out of it and we both looked at each other in alarm.But Dameon wasted no time. Taking My hand in his, he quickly pulled me through the house to the back door. We stumbled out of the house, bumping into each other and laughing as we ran off into the open space of the backyard together. He pulled me to the edge of the property, and then we ran through the woods; Dameon was going slow enough so that I could keep up."Dameon, where are we going?" I laughed as he turned back to me with a grin."You will see soon enough,"We didn't stop running and I love it, the free feeling. I felt giddy like a little kid again. He led me through the thicket and I followed behind eagerly. I'd follow him anywhere. Then we finally come to a stop and he gives me a moment to catch my breath, letting me grasp his arm. I looked around at where we were. At first, I didn't see anything, but Dameon led us behind a tall rock wall, revealin
We swam till dusk until the sun disappeared behind the peaks of the trees. The water didn't even feel cold anymore. Then the fireflies came out, lighting up the water, and Dameon and I watched them together, naming the little bright dots silly names.I couldn't count how many times he made me laugh until I could barely breathe or gave me butterflies. All I knew was that I liked it. Me and him."I have to get you back home," he said as he lifted me up out of the water and placed me on the ledge. The air was still warm from the heat of the day, drying me quickly.I gave him a sad look. "But I want to stay with you,""How about I pick you up from school tomorrow? Then We can go to my place,"At that, I lit up, clapping my hands together eagerly. "Yes!" My feet dangle just over the water and I swish them happily.He looked amused by my excitement, his lips twitching into a smile as he came closer. "Finally we're the same height," he teased.It was only because the ledge gave me a foot of
Because this little bitch needs to fucking hear it after she knocked out my fucking teeth. You happy now? Putting both me and my brother in the hospital?!" he shouted, advancing towards me, pointing a crooked finger at me. I flinched back in fear, hiding behind Jake who moved in front of me, using his body as a shield against Adam."What the fuck did you just call her?" Jake growled."I called her a bitch.. Because that's what she is. I wish that damned sandbag had just crushed hir,""W-what?" I question, peeking out from behind Jake's shoulder. Was he talking about that time in the theater when Jake saved me from the one that fell from the ceiling?"Yeah, you remember it right? That Was a little gift from me to you. For thinking that you are better than me. Fuck, I am a fucking alpha. We own you pathetic omegas,"Jake growled as he clenched his fists. He moved aggressively at Adam and Adam responded, nearly going forehead to forehead with Jake as he bared his canines and puffed out
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
He obliged almost immediately, rising out of the water and sat on the side of the tub, His dick standing erect between his legs.I looked up at him seductively, licking my hand sensually to get it wet with spit before closing it around his length. He sucked in a breath, watching the scene unfolding before him intently, focused on where I was touching him. I lathered his dick up, using my spit and the water as lubrication to stroke him."What happened to 'I can't do it again'?" He smirked.I gave him a little pout. "I can't. But you can, evidently," I said as I continued to pump him, increasing the pressure on my hand. I saw when he started to really feel the pleasure, letting out a rumbling groan as he leaned his head back. His stamina was absolutely unbeatable, which meant he would last a while and my hand soon got tired.I had another tactic up my sleeve. I slowed the rhythm of my hand, moving it down to hold only the base of his dick. His eyes widened when he saw
I teared up again, just looking at him with my bottom lip puckered in a pout. He chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to my lips. Then we rested for a bit, both eating various bits of the delicious breakfast prepared. Well, it's more like he ate three giant bagels and inhaled half the eggs and bacon(saving the rest for me)-all while I nibbled on my technically second pancake with whipped cream on it since he ate most of the other one.He lifted a mug of cocoa to my lips, holding it steadily so I could drink."Hope it is not too hot?" He asked me from over me, chin resting on top of my head."It's just perfect,"Once I had my fill I yawned tiredly, cuddling up on his chest with my eyes closed. I meant it when I said there was no place I would rather be than in this moment. I was so grateful. That I had a mate who would do this much for me. He treats me like a princess, making me feel so loved. I relaxed in the luxuriously hot water, letting out a little sigh as I draped myself over him."Wan
