DAMIEN’S POVI decided to walk away from Elena because I felt like what we were doing was wrong and that was very funny because there was nothing wrong with what I was doing. There was nothing wrong with me wanting to spend some time with my mate, there was nothing wrong with me even wanting to be intimate with her. She belonged to me and I to her and nothing that anyone did could change that. As I walked further and further away from her room I stopped and asked myself what the hell I was doing, why was I walking away from my own mate? Why was I feeling like there was something wrong with being intimate with her? If she had been with someone else other than Lukas would I so easily walk away from her? I felt like by walking away I was giving victory to Lukas and indirectly saying that I wasn't man enough. I couldn’t allow Lukas to win, Elena was mine and I had to fight for her and besides, Lukas wasn’t even here to stop me from being with her. I stormed back to her roo

DAMIEN’S POVI woke up feeling very happy, I was happy because not only had I found my mate but I had also been able to spend some proper time with her for the first time since we met. I couldn’t even believe that we were walking around and acting like we were having a forbidden affair. I loved Elena and I couldn’t imagine my life without her now that I had found her, I didn’t remember anything about my life still and I didn’t know if I had any family out there but for now Elena was the only family I had and I had every intention of fighting from her. I knew that Lukas wouldn’t just have her over to me, he was obsessed with her and would probably kill me and her rather than give her over to me.I hadn't seen the ugly side of Lukas that I had heard so many people talk about, I mean I knew that he wasn’t a good alpha but I hadn't seen the ugly side of him and I didn’t want to just yet. I wanted to study him so that I knew how I would approach him when the time to tak

DAMIEN’S POVEver since I found out that Charles knew about my secret with Elena, I had been on edge because I wasn’t sure if I could trust him and I couldn’t believe that we had been so reckless. Everything about this situation was reckless because we were doing something that could get both of us killed. I didn’t mind dying for Elena, but I realized that she was very afraid of what Lukas was capable of. She had seen him at his worst and seen what he was like when he didn’t get his way. However, I also couldn’t help wondering who else knew about this, since Charles knew and I wasn’t even sure if telling Elena that he knew was a good idea. I was so worried and scared that someone else had picked on this and when I looked around at every omega around me it felt like they were all talking about it. I was suddenly talking around the mansion with the feeling that someone somewhere was watching me and just waiting for Lukas to come back so that they could tell them. The fact that Charles

ELENA’S POVI was in my room when Grace came in bursting through the door as she did these days. She acted like this was a room that we shared and she wasn’t showing me the respect that she used to show me when Lukas was here. She had been coming to check on me regularly since I went into heat and though I wasn’t in any serious pain yet, Grace simply refused to let me be on my own. I had concluded that she must have been either very afraid of Lukas, or she just cared for me too much and the thought of anything happening to me was just too much for her to bear. Of course, I didn't believe that she cared a great deal for me. Grace was probably just concerned about saving her own skin because she knew that Lukas would freak out if anything happened to me. Any other woman would be flattered and happy about getting so much attention from a man l like Lukas but the fact that he wasn't my mate, meant that everything he did, no matter how nice it may have seemed to anyone else was annoying to

ELENA’S POV I was still in a little bit of shock by what Damien had told me, I couldn’t help wondering what connection he could have had with Lukas. Even though Damien didn’t say it in many words, I knew that a part of him thought that he was from this pack. I just didn’t believe that he was, I didn’t think it was possible. I also wondered who he was, what if he was the lost prince that had supposedly died in the accident? Damien was the one who told me what Charles had told him about Lukas and how he got to be alpha and I wondered if the accident that Lukas had been in was the same accident that was reported to have killed the prince according to Charles. Nothing about this made sense and I felt that my theory was the only one that did make sense, however, Damien wasn’t ready to accept that without any supporting evidence. I had received so much information from Damien last night and just when I thought that I had had enough, Grace came with a wide smile and claimed that she had go
