Lahat ng Kabanata ng Once His Mate, Now His Rival: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

All that Damon could see was red. He wasn't an emotional person nor someone to show his weakness but right now, he could feel the tears threatening to spill. It took everything in him to hold them back.He plopped down on the couch beside him, his chest tightening as Blake's words replayed in his head. He didn't know what to feel anymore. It was like his head was shattering into pieces with the new pieces of information he had just found. He felt pains he had never felt before and before he knew it, Damon felt a single tear roll down his cheeks."Fuck..." He muttered under his breath and buried his face in his hands. For the first time in his life, Damon felt truly broken.He had everything anyone could ever dream to have. Fame. Wealth. A pack. A daughter and yet, it was not enough to fill the hole in his heart.Damon pulled his head from his face and reached for his phone, going through the information his private investigator, Blake, had sent to him.The email included a detailed re

A Few Days LaterAmber sat in front of her dresser, letting out a quiet sigh as she applied the final touch of makeup.She wore a red velvet gown that hugged her slender figure perfectly, accentuating her curves in all the right places. A slit ran up one side, revealing her long legs, while the plunging neckline offered a bit of cleavage, making her looked like she had just stepped out of a magazine cover."Are you sure this is the right dress for the event, Jess?" Amber asked Jessie over facepalm. Her iPhone was seated comfortably on the mirror while she adjusted her earrings."Trust me babes, it's perfect . You need to show those bitches who the real CEO is." Jessie's voice came through."I don't know Jess, I feel like it's too much. Maybe I should go with the black one instead.""No babes. The red is perfect."Amber sighed. "Fine. The red it is."“Is Marcus going with you? I know it’s your event, but I don’t want you alone with those people,” Jessie said with worry in her tone.“Re

"This little brat thinks she can threaten me just because she runs a little company now." Moore sneered."I believe the correct word to use is jealous. You have always been jealous of me Moore. Even now you are jealous of my success but your pride won't allow you to admit that.""You witch. There's nothing to be jealous about. I don't know why you came back to New York but I'd advise you crawl back to whatever hell you came from. If you think Alpha Damon will chose you over my daughter just because you've got money now, you'd better think again."Amber couldn't help but laugh again. She didn't know how many times she had laughed in just one night. "Oh I see. So that is what you think this is about? You actually believe I came back after all these years just to fight over Damon?" She said between laughs. "As much as I am flattered to see that you're both intimidated by my presence. I will do you both a favor and break you free from your little fantasy." She added, her voice harder now

The drive back home was filled with silence. Amber rested her head against the car window as she drowned in her thoughts. She still couldn't believe everything that had just transpired between her and Damon.His confession, the kiss, and that burning desire in his eyes when he said he wanted her back.She could still remember the way his lips tasted when they crashed against hers, the scent of him as he cornered her in that dark room, and the electric sensation he'd sent through her body without even realizing.Amber clenched her fist. She hated herself for even thinking about it, especially after everything he'd done to her.That man had treated her like garbage, made her feel small and useless. And yet, here she was, thinking about him again, all because he’d spewed a few well-rehearsed lies.When the car finally pulled up in front of her house, Amber got down and walked straight to her room. She took a long shower, changed into a nightdress, and crawled into bed.Grabbing her phone

That Same NightAt The Pack House"Wait Bels! Why are you in such a hurry?" Moore called out the moment the car pulled up in front of the pack house. He stepped out quickly and caught up to her before she could walk through the entrance."Why are you crying?" He asked, lowering his voice. "You know the pack can't see you crying like this." He brushed away her tears, glancing around to make sure no one was watching."You need to hold yourself together, Bels. I didn’t raise you to be weak. You’re the Luna, for God’s sake. What do you think the pack will say if they see you crying here like this?"Bella finally turned to face her father. "Don't tell me you didn't hear what she said Dad? That bitch vowed to expose us. It's obvious she knows our secret. She's going to ruin us.""Is that why you’re crying? I can’t believe you’re falling for her bluff. That witch only said that to get under your skin. How could she possibly know our secret when you already got rid of the evidence?Besides, e
