Все главы Alpha Damien's Contracted Luna: Глава 81 - Глава 90

•• Damien’s POV •••I dialed Victoria’s number for the umpteenth time, and it went straight to voicemail. Eros was already pacing in my mind ever since the news of Victoria stealing confidential files and selling them to our competitors broke on social media.No one had even seen her in the pack house. It wasn’t like her at all. She had never ventured outside of the pack except if my mother asked for her to accompany her shopping, or maybe if she had to deal with things regarding Elijah and her old pack.But then, she always told me before she went anyway. She wouldn’t just up and go like this. Even my Gamma, whom I had trusted to look after her, and Cathy also hadn’t seen her since that day.I summoned Cathy to my study and asked her again, “Cathy, are you sure she didn’t tell you where she was going that day?”Cathy also looked very concerned and guilty because she and Felix felt it was their fault for letting Victoria go without guards. “No, Alpha. Alpha Victoria said she wanted to

 •• Damien’s POV ••• I kept looking at that location on the map. It was the only one that would be the most suitable for holding someone captive without anyone noticing out of all the other locations.“This!” Noah and I pointed out the location on the map at the same time.We looked at each other grimly before setting out to the location with a few of my elite warriors.Once we reached the place, I was shocked to find so many locks being placed outside the door, and I was able to catch the faintest scent of my mate that was almost gone. My heart nearly broke.If her scent was nearly gone, there were only two possibilities: either Diana had moved her or she had almost died. I hoped for the latter because as long as she was still alive, I could still save her.I quickly broke in and found Victoria curled on the ground. Eros howled in pain, and my own knees nearly buckled whi

 •• Victoria’s POV ••• Damien slowly peeled off my clothes piece by piece, and at the same time, he filled the bathtub with warm water. Once I was naked, he held my arm so I wouldn’t slip into the bathtub.I let out a sigh of contentment as I leaned back and just enjoyed the soothing scent of essential lavender oil he dripped to help relax.“Let me.” He took the loofah from my hand and began washing my body while his intense gaze was fixed on mine.The gentle way he touched me made me squeeze my thighs together without thinking.A ghost of a smile appeared on his handsome face as if he knew what his touch was doing to me, making me blush.I was embarrassed that even though I was still weak, my body was still so responsive to him.To hide my feelings, I told him, “Can you bring something for me to eat first?”Damien paused and passed me the l

 •• Victoria’s POV ••• Before she could answer because I didn’t think she knew, I told her, “It was Diana. She worked with Elijah to frame me. She didn’t succeed; that was why she threatened me to leave Damien and the U.S. in exchange for her to take down all her posts. But of course I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t leave Damien.”Luna Astraea’s eyes only widened slightly in disbelief, but she didn’t look too shocked by the news. I smiled bitterly. So it was true that Damien didn’t tell her just how wicked Diana was, and even after I told her about this, she still didn’t look like she would punish Diana.“That was the reason why she kidnapped me and left me to die, because I wouldn't comply with her threats. And that wasn’t the first time she framed me,” I said. I might as well tell her everything. “On the day Diana arrived,

 •• Damien’s POV ••• I stared at Victoria’s retreating back. Her cold gaze and the way she seemed as though she didn’t want me to touch her, the way she yanked her hand away from mine, made me feel panicked and miserable.What had happened? Last night she still initiated to be intimate with me. But then a thought entered my mind. Her forced laugh when she asked if I still didn’t want to ever bond with a she-wolf, which I nodded as an answer.She might have thought I didn’t know her laugh was forced, but I knew her. I knew her laugh, I knew when she felt sad or happy. I knew her, although she didn’t know that.She was my mate, of course, I knew her. I knew everything about her, even though I couldn’t feel her emotions through our matebond, yet I had watched her closely, so closely, whether from afar or when we were together, some people might have called me a cree
