Damon's POV I stretched my taunt body and hissed at how my bed seemed somewhat hard. The pain in my body added to that, and I suddenly wondered why my soft bed turned hard overnight. As I stretched, I noticed a hand draped over my lower waist while a head rested on my chest. I chuckled as memories of the previous night washed over me. I opened my eyes and smiled at how she was holding me like I was going to run away if she released me for even a second. My body was taunted again at how hard the bed was, and I made a promise to myself to get her a much better bed. I closed and opened my eyes to stare at her. The first thing my eyes fell on, this time, were the two punctured marks on her neck.Wait a second!Two punctured marks?!"I flew up from the bed, carelessly dislodging her as I looked again and saw that the marks were indeed there."By the moon goddess!" I yelled in a voice loud enough for the entire pack to hear, if not the entire world. As expected, the woman woke up."What

Damon's POV I had to tell Evie what I had done before anyone else would notice and tell her, but for the life of me, I didn't know how to face her. The only reason why I still felt a little at peace was because I was sure that even if anyone saw the marks on her, they would assume that she knew what they meant and she must have given her consent.Since they all knew she was mine, they wouldn't run their mouth around her. At least, not for now. Or maybe they would be so ridden by jealousy over the fact that she belonged to me and she had managed to snatch me for herself - something that they all failed to achieve over these years - that they would do exactly the opposite of what I thought of them.No! I shouldn't allow that to happen! I had to go in search of Evie and explain things to her. Now.I left where I was pacing and went to the door, only to have it slammed open in my face."Ouch!" I mumbled in pain, holding my nose together to keep the burning sensation out."My goodness, Al

Evie's POV "Has any of you seen Evie around today?"I looked at Grace from where I hid behind the sofa to indicate for her to say no. She looked at me, then at the Alpha who asked her the question. By the time her gaze would settle back on mine, I could see that she was scared of lying to Alpha Damon about my whereabouts."Please," I mouthed to her. She turned away from me and bowed her head to the Alpha."No, Alpha." She lied smoothly.I heard the man sigh. For some reason, I felt that he knew I was hiding away from him. That had been the routine ever since a week ago when the incident of the marking or no marking had occurred. I hide away each time I heard the man's footsteps or voice, then he proceeded with looking for me until he let go and did other things on his agenda."Fine. But if you see her, can you let her know that running away is not going to cut it? I need to talk to her about what to do." He told Grace."Yes, Alpha.""I'm leaving now." He said, raising his voice a li

Miss Kardashian's POV"So, did you do what I asked you to?" I asked the moment the doctor stepped into his office. He seemed startled by my voice as he looked up. When he saw me twirling in his chair, he sighed."How did you know she is going to be injured?" He asked me even as he took off his coat and hung it on the wall. He turned to me and sighed. "But no, I didn't do what you asked me to. There is no way I am going to kill an innocent person because you asked me to. Especially not when the person in question is a person I like." He turned away from me and began to sort his pieces of equipment back into place.How dare he refused my order? I thought as I banged my hands on the table in front of me, disrupting everything on the table as he had disrupted everything I had laid carefully to plan.It was such an easy task that I set before him. All he had to do was mix poison into the ointment that he was supposed to use on the wound that vixen whore acquired from the marksman I sent to

Alpha Damon's POV I have had enough of all the nonsense that these people were playing with me. From the way Evie had reacted ever since she woke up, I was sure that she was tired of it also. There was no way I was going to give these people any more chances to provoke me. If they wanted to see a monster, then they would definitely see me in that form."Stephan, gather everyone to the hall for an emergency meeting. When I said everyone, I meant everyone. No one is excluded, not even the guards patrolling the border," I instructed the man."But without the guards, an attack could–" He tried to argue."–I said, no one is fucking excluded from the damn meeting!" I yelled at him, letting my frustration take hold of me. I ignored everyone as they all shivered from the force of the Alpha command that I used. I heard the door open and click shut rapidly, indicating that my Beta had gone for the task I gave him."We will head over to the meeting hall then." The Gamma said. Everyone left as h
