Leah's POVConnor came a few minutes later and we left my room. He started by taking me round the house. It was a big mansion draped with expensive linen and arts. I felt like Damien was trying to show how wealthy he was although the interior did not seem like his taste. It was more of Stephanie's. "This side of the house is for the maids so whenever you need Evelyn, you can search for her here," Connor explained as we passed the east wing. If I was not sure about Damien's money, I was now. Anne had been telling me the truth. "Okay, who does Evelyn work for?" I asked him, looking uninterested in the conversation. Connor stoped walking and turned to me. "The Alpha, of course. Why do you ask?" He looked at me quizzingly.I shrugged. "Just because. She seemed to be taking note of everything I did and looked at me weirdly." He hummed, said nothing and continued walking. We got out of the house and immediately he pulled my to his chest and turned around. "Shit!" I heard a group of b
Leah's POV"Do not make me ask again, what the hell is going on here?" He growled, his eyes glowing as he stared at us. Connor cleared his throat, turning Damian's attention to himself. "Nothing, Alpha. I was just taking the Princess around," he explained. Damien glanced at me, giving me a suspicious look. "She is no longer a Princess so there is no need to call her that. She has a name." I groaned, not wanting to be called another name. It could mess up with my mind. "I'm fine with being called a Princess," I told him. "After all that is who I am." "You are no longer a Princess, Anne," he hissed. Damian didn't look pleased to see me which I understood but what baffled me was the way his eyes kept on roaming down my body. He seemed angry but I could tell there was something more to his anger. "You are my Luna now and should be assessed as such." It took a lot of my resilience not to roll my eyes at his possessive words. "Well then treat me like one," I glared at him. I heard C
Damien's POVI could not understand why I was getting so pissed off at Connor but I was. He kept glancing everywhere except me and it irked me. "Spar with me," I finally broke the silence, looking at my men sparring with each other. The young wolves were getting better by the day. Both the male and female wolves were warriors in my pack. I made sure to include everyone as a strong pack required strong wolves. "But I have to be on patrol," he answered, looking confused. I was also confused. My wolf was growling within me. He was itching to come out and I wanted to release this pent up anger. He wanted to teach Connor a lesson and I was going to oblige him."You can go later, come on," I ordered and walked to the middle of the field, cracking my neck and folding my hands into fists. Connor looked skeptical and it appeased me at that moment. He knew whenever I was in this mood, I tended to beat the shit out of him. "Don't make me repeat myself Conner," I warned. He sighed dramatic
Damien's POVI blinked in surprise at her tone. "What do you mean? Anne needs someone to protect her." Stephanie scoffed. "What I want to know is why! She is not a child, Damian and I am sure she can defend herself although I do not see the reason to have Connor protecting her when no one is going to attack her." And that was my fear. Until I got the mined lead, I did not want anyone or anything to hurt Anne. She was Alpha Elijah's prized princess although a part of me told me I was doing it for my own selfish interest. I ignored the voice. "I know you do not trust her but trust me at least. Your jealousy is evident on your face," I teased her and she rolled her eyes. "Well you tend to make me overly jealous. You need Connor tomorrow. No one is going to hurt Anne, I promise. I'll take care of her for you," she said with a smile. I observed her expression, not really trusting her words. Stephanie was a very territorial and jealous woman. I would not be at peace leaving Anne in her
Leah's POV The next morning, I stood at the door, watching Stephanie rub her hands all over Damian and I wanted to peel her hands off. She was being so obvious with her desperate attempt to keep him to herself. It was too much to watch. Damian lifted his eyes and they found mine. At that moment it felt like we were having a conversation but I was not sure what it was all about. I could tell he would have sent me a message through mindlink if I had my wolf but I did not so it was not possible. No one told me where he was going to or why he was leaving. Damien pulled his eyes away after staring at me like he wanted to suck my soul. His eyes contradicted his every action whenever I saw him. He gaze so intense and the way he made me feel. My heart started beating loudly as he walked into the woods with his men. Connor turned around around and started coming back. "What are you doing?" Stephanie asked him when he got closer. "Alpha Damian ordered me to come back," he answered
Leah's POVDamian groaned in frustration, walking back to me. I shot a glance at Connor but he was already walking away. "Hold on to me," he grumbled, giving me his hand for support. To say I was embarrassed was the least. The men looked at me with anger and contempt. I held his hands and together we went back to the house. As we walked, I tried to ignore how sensual he felt. I could feel his muscles contrast and his scent engulfed my senses, making me go crazy. It would be a disaster if I got turned on while walking because every wolf would catch a whiff of it so I ignored how he made me feel. When we arrived, Stephanie was already there, giving orders to everyone. She seemed bent on making sure everyone noticed her. Her expression changed as she laid eyes on me. Specifically, Damian and I. "What happened?" She asked sweetly, her mood changing in an instant as she came closer to us. Damian let go of me. "Can you walk?" He asked, looking concerned and I nodded. He took a look at
Damian POVWhile Marcus was speaking, I could not focus as my eyes were on the enigma of a girl a few meters away from me taking care of my men. She looked so intense that I could not help but notice how she would stick her tongue out whenever she had to think hard before making a decision. Her face looked a little different but I had come to accept it as a part of her. The dress she wore showed every line of her sexy body, getting me hard. Despite marrying her for the mined lead, she was becoming more appealing as days went by. "Did you listen to a word he said, Damian or were you busy staring at someone?" Stephanie's high pitched voice pulled me away from my reverie and I nodded, knowing I didn't hear a word he had said. She didn't look like she believed me though. She looked hurt for some reason and I immediately knew she had caught me staring at Anne. Marcus had stopped speaking and was waiting for my response. I groaned, unable to say anything at the moment. My attention was
Leah POVHearing Damian's cry of pain, everyone including me turned to him. He was sitting but I could see how pale he was becoming and Stephanie was kneeling before him, cleaning his injuries. She seemed distracted and was panicking. What was going on? I stood up from where I was taking a rest and walked over and saw Damian's eyes closed while his lips trembled. He did not want to say it but he was in a lot of pain. Glancing at the injury again, it had started bleeding profusely causing my expression to change. There was something wrong. "Can you allow me?" I asked Stephanie and she glared at me. "No, what do you want?" She asked sassily. Damian opened his eyes and growled at her. With one look at me, she stood up and took a few steps back. I bent over and took a good look at the cut. It was not a very deep cut but if infected, could cause a major problem. And by the look of it, it was infected!"Oh no, what did you do?" I asked Stephanie. She looked confused. "What do you mean
