Chapter 32 - A Thousand Eyes and A Thousand Mouths.

Mara’s POV I didn’t say a word to any of my coworkers as I stood at the counter. Damon had left… so it was back to normal. There was no flirtation, no command or even a kiss or overly affectionate gesture. It was just his presence and our conversation. But somehow, that was worse. In the kitchen, the chatter was already going on and almost immediately, the ladies behind the counter had joined in. “Oh. My. Moon. Goddess,” Clara whispered, her eyes were as wide as saucers. “That was THE Alpha Damon, wasn’t it? It didn’t just look like him right? Not a doppelgänger or a clone?” I tried really hard not to roll my eyes. “Clara, not now.” “No, seriously, Mara. You and the Alpha just talked… like old friends. The Alpha. Who even are you?” “I’m Mara… and we aren’t old friends.” “Yeah, right! You this gorgeous woman.” She grinned, wide and nosy. “You have to know each other well for you not to die on the spot or combust and turn to ash. Do you know how many women in this tow

Chapter 33 - All Words and No Evidence

Damon’s POVThe moment I stepped away from the door of the diner, the air was stale. It didn’t smell like the warm and crispy air in the diner. The restaurant's lights overhead flickered against the damp walls. I held the brown paper bag with food and drinks in my hands as I walked through to the car. Ryan had come out of the car and approached me, his gaze flicked between me and the door behind me. “Alpha Damon, Are you sure you don’t want to explain the Grant issue beforehand to the elders?” He asked, with a low voice. I didn’t stop for a beat as I put the food in the back seat of the car. “No! Let them ask.” My wolf, Kai, curled tight in my chest, "He insulted our mate, Mara. He stood so close to her, mocking her, he was lucky I wasn’t in control, I’d have made sure he bled… that would get the word around that our mate is never to be messed around with. She’s precious to us.” I closed my mind off but I knew I had restrained myself a lot from Kai’s anger. And I had trusted Ma

Chapter 34 - To Claim what’s yours.

Damon’s POV The street was empty, the world was quiet and the car was filled with the scent of freshly made food… something spicy. Ryan cleared his throat. “Sir…. The elders will demand an explanation eventually, do you not think we should get ahead of the situation before Grant and his father cook up a story to suit their narrative?” I turned slowly to him. “They can ask… then we can discuss it. Otherwise, it holds no significance to me… the Elders are already partially drawing up verdicts without conducting any proper investigations. They don’t care about the real issues… it’s completely partisan now. Grant and his other minion elders versus the small opposition…” I replied. I sighed as he nodded, his brows furrowed and concentrating on the road. “But… Sir, if I can speak freely…” “I have never stopped anyone from speaking freely…” I replied. “In the few weeks that I and Zeta have worked for you, I’ve come to respect the way you think and act.” He started. “I se
