Wide eyes looked up at me as I came down for breakfast, Damon shot up from his seat and hurriedly made his way to the foot of the stairs, reaching out a hand to help me.“I’m fine,” I said, ignoring his hand.I’d never known pain as emotional as I had felt would be so severe enough to cause me to become physically ill but I had experienced it first-hand and I never wanted to, it was giving my mother too much power over me.Now, I didn't care about anything or anyone. It was stifling here, and I didn't want to have to live with so many people anymore. There was nothing here for me and that is why in my sick bed, I’d made the decision to leave here, to leave everything and everyone behind and no one was spared.Damon said nothing and simply followed me to the table where we both settled down.“Serve her breakfast,” He said to Helena who nodded gleefully and immediately hurried off to the kitchen.His eyes searched mine. “Are you sure you are fine?” He asked.I nodded and kept my gaze on

I watched the pack’s courtroom proceedings with interested eyes, I’d never witnessed one before. The court was an open one with a bench for the noble blood of the pack while the ordinary werewolves stood around watching.The gambling house owner whose name I learned was Amaro stood at the center of everyone’s attraction, his hands and legs were in shackles and he swayed from where he stood. His eyes were swollen and his lips quivered, it was obvious he was scared.Damon stood at a higher stool and away from everyone, directly opposite Amaro and where he could see everyone clearly. His eyes were cold, and nothing about him said the lover I’d come to know, it was slightly unnerving. My eyes went through the crowd in search of someone but I didn't see her nor Sam - the two vampires I knew, it did them good to stay out of public gatherings like this one.From beside me, my mom squeezed my hand and I had no idea if she was calming herself or me.“Proceed,” Damon said, even his voice exuded

“I feel like we never get to hang out properly, you know?” Marina asked, turning to me.We made our way towards our favorite inn that served the best ribs in town. It was true what she said, I had gotten so busy with everything else, Marina and I barely had time to do the things she was used to us doing.“But I understand though,” She said, linking her arms with mine. “You are the Luna now and I can't expect things to be as they used to be before, you obviously have so much on your plate, and with everything that's been going on recently, I feel for you.”I simply smiled in response as we pushed the door open and stepped inside the inn. I was immediately aware of the eyes that followed my movement but I was already used to it.“How are you coping with it all? I'm sorry I never ask.” Marina asked as we settled down at a table.I shrugged. “It’s all good, Damon bears the brunt of it all actually.” And it was true, he had occupied himself with work and he was relentless in making sure h

Dad barged into the room with Alex still on his knees. His eyes were furious as they met mine.“What have you done Alex?” He asked, rushing towards him.“Don’t,” Damon said, one word, and it brought my dad to a complete halt.“I am sure he has realized his mistake.” He said, turning to Alex.He was on the floor with a battered appearance and he still had an angered look on his face towards me. I was sure he was regretting it now, this plan of his to get me in a messy situation I’d be unable to get out from was beginning to backfire.“How could you do this? You took my daughter into custody without at least informing me first.” Alex looked up at him. “I did my duty and as the Delta and head warrior of this pack, I didn't realize the laws of our land favored some people over others.” He said in a bitter tone.“She is the Luna!” Damon said. “You should have accorded her that respect before anything.”Alex looked downcast and said nothing.“You bastard!” Dad growled. “How could you not r

It was past midday when Annalise realized the door to Nicolás's office had remained shut since late evening when he'd stepped into it. It wasn't unusual for him to stay cooped up in the office but it was unlike him to stay there all through the night and morning.Her worry for him was he probably hadn't had anything to eat. She knew that shouldn't concern her, but she couldn't help herself from worrying about him. It was something about her she didn't like, she always felt the need to take care of those around her despite their treatment meted out towards her.She made her way towards his office and raised her fist to the door, it lingered in the air for a few seconds before she dropped her hand and walked away. She and Nicolás have been avoiding each other since she'd returned from the hospital, acting like what had happened with Sir Enzo hadn't and she didn't even know if he had died but like the last man, there hadn't been any mention of his death on the news so she was hoping he w
