The sun's ray found its way into Damien's room. It moved slowly, gradually; until it found a perfect resting place.Damien's face.The golden light danced around his face, trying to get the attention that it always wanted. Yet Damien seemed to be too far gone into his sleep. It persisted until Damien moved.He must have felt the warmth from whatever dream world that he was lost in. He must have felt the light on his face. For it's caused another movement from Damien again.Damien squeezed his eyes due to the intrusion from the natural light. He tried hard to ignore it but the dream world that he was lost in began to lose its grip on him. Eventually, Damien's eyes flew open.He sat up slowly moving his eyes sleepily around his room as if he was searching for something then his eyes fell on the mirror opposite the room.His eyes seemed to glow for a split second then it went off. He wondered what could have caused it. He lingered on the thought for a while. So much so that his wolf had
Camille stared at her brother. Her brows were raced up to the highest as she stared at him. Normally, she would be the one to ask her brother to take her out but today, he had willingly thought of it all on his own.Camille kept scrutinizing him, trying to find the reason for the sudden change of his behavior. The more she stared, the sooner she understood as she caught all the hints.He was doing this because it wasn't just her again. He was probably doing this for Aria. She soon smiled at him."I believe you're doing this just to get Aria to loosen up around you, isn't it?" Camille interrogated him with one of her teasing smiles.Damien suddenly allowed a blush slip through his demeanor and he had to tip his head down just to try hide his face. His sister giggled. It was true but that wasn't the entire reason. He just wanted to make everyone of them happy again."You know I also want you to have fun. That's why I'm telling you about it first. It's not just about Aria. It's about you
Damien was waiting.He had waited for too long now. He had gotten tired of waiting. He was currently seated on a sofa with his arms crossed. If he hadn't been the one to propose an outing then he would have gotten angry already and abandoned them.Camile had taken Aria and abandoned her brother all alone. They had promised to be down in ten minutes.Damien had believed them and gone down to wait. At first, he had remained standing since he believed that they would be back in ten minutes.Unfortunately, it had already been an hour and none of the women where down with him. Damien sighed heavily and told himself that he should have known it. He should have not fallen for the bait but he did. Now he was doomed to wait for them forever.Meanwhile, Camille made sure she found the right outfit for herself. She chose a dress that stopped above her knees. The dress was sleeveless and she put a jacket over it to cover up her shoulders. When it got to Aria's turn, that was where the real proble
"I promise you both that we will have a good time," Damien announced.Camille smiled at her brother's statement. She knew that he meant every word. She just hoped that after today, the mate bond that was asleep would awaken within Aria's mind and she would accept her brother as her mate."Aria, have you been here before?" Damien asked her.Aria shook her head slowly. Alpha Hendrix never took her out like he always did for Ellie. She was the dark child. The forgotten child. Sometimes, it was as if she was not even in the family. Like she never existed. That was how much they ignored her."It's fascinating," Aria said quietly.Damien smiled triumphantly. At least, he had managed to satisfy her eyes. She liked what she was seeing.“Alright, let's go shopping then you'll see the rest of the places," Damien told her.Aria nodded amd followed him. Camille took the lead. It was obvious from her action that she had been here countless times. This wasn't a new thing for her.The place was huge
Harley's Closet indeed had the best collection today. There were beautiful dresses that lined its specific sections. There was a wide array of skirts of different types. There were blouses, tshirts, jackets and even underwears. Harley had it all.Aria was overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. No one had ever taken her to a place like this. She was always doomed to run after the remains of Ellie's clothes or clothes from the servants in the house.Standing here with Camille and Damien made her feel emotions she had never felt. In one day, they had succeeded in doing things for her that no one had ever done for her."Come on! Let's go in! What are you waiting for? Start trying them on!" Camille urged and took the lead immediately.They found the section of dresses and Camille started going through them at once. Aria only felt herself stand there and allow Camille to make the choices for her. Then when there was too much for Aria to carry, Camille spoke up."I think you should start tr
Aria made her way out of the room. She had changed into another dress. This one was green just like her eyes.This time, she allowed her hair to fall freely. She walked up to Damien expecting Camile to be around but she was not there.She searched around for Camille. Damien noticed that she was looking for Camille. He could see it in her eyes."Camille had to leave, unfortunately," Damiem broke the silence and answered her unasked question.Aria's face morphed into worry. She suddenly felt abandoned and hurt. Why did Camille have to leave now. Just when she was beginning to get comfortable with the activities that were taking place?"Where did she go?" Aria asked.Damien placed worry on his face as he answered her.“Something important came up and her friend needed her. She had to go right away. Normally, the Luna of the pack would have been the one to do so but Camille has been performing Luna's duty since her death," Damien explained.Aria's face also morpged into worry and the ange
Aria felt butterflies in her stomach as she held on to Damien's hand. His palm against hers felt warm. It felt protective. It felt welcoming.Damiem stole another glance from Aria. He noticed that there was a smile on her face. She was not even trying to take his hand away from hers. She clinged to it like it was her source of life. This brought a smile to Damien's face as well.He knew where he was leading her. He made turns through the paths that were lined with carpet grass and occasional passersby. Damien paid no heed to them. His destination was etched like a map in his mind."Aria?" Damien suddenly called to her.Aria tilted her head up at him with raised brows. "Yes, Damien?" She answered.Damien hesitated a bit. He wanted to get to know Aria better. It had just occurred to him that he did not know much about her.He needed to know her likes and dislikes. He needed to know what she could stand and not stand. This was probably the best way to get her to loosen up to him."What i
"Pick a spot then," Damien told Aria.Aria exhaled softly and turned her head around the park as she tried to spot one of the stone chairs.She smiled triumphantly when she spotted one chair at the far end of the park. It was situated in a corner where they could see every activities in that position of the chair. This was just what they needed."I have made my choice," Aria announced.Damien turned to face her. "Let's hear it," Damien gave the go ahead.Aria titled her head towards the chair and turned back to Damien.“That chair at the far end. It has a good view of everything," Aria said and began to walk towards.Damien too followed her to the stone chair and once they reached it, Aria sat on the chair first and patted the side beside her for Damien to sit. She felt that she could speak with him freely. But she could not just get rid of the shyness so easily.Damien did as Aria wanted and took his seat beside her. Then he threw her a smile before turning to the glistening water."
