Leah POVMy brain had been in overdrive, thinking about last night and my appearance was paying for it. Look at my eyeballs! I looked like a night creature. I was not able to sleep last night. I tossed and tossed on the bed for hours till I got exhausted and was only able to sleep for an hour. It was going to wreck me today but it was Damian's fault. If he had not tried to flirt with me, I would not have been in this dilemma. Well, I had no choice. Damian could do whatever he wanted. What got me really scared was the soft growl of my wolf yesterday. She was slowly awaking from her slumber and I did not need it right now. I would have to perform some enchantments to suppress her for the moment until I was able to get what I wanted and leave this pack. I had totally lost focus and kept on dreaming about a man that didn't belong to me and no matter how I fantasized about him, he would never be mine. Glancing at the mirror one last time, I took a deep breath to clear my mind and the
Damian POVI shifted into my wolf and went to my room to change. I could not bear being in the same room with her. Why was my heart beating so fast? Why was I able to sense that she was in danger? It was not something I expected. Who was she? Was she my mate? My heart was more troubled than before. She invaded my thoughts, making me do things I never thought I would do. Now, I had to apologize to Stephanie for yesterday and today. Although I did not know what could have triggered her to attack Anne when she knew we were having a delicate situation right now. I shifted, wore a pair of pants and a shirt and walked out of the room. My scouts had brought back a not too good result and I needed to have a general meeting with my men, which included Steph. On reaching her room, I twisted the knob on the door but it was locked. Shit, she was pissed. I knocked on it a few times and heard the unlock sound a few moments later. I entered and saw her on the bed, with tears in her eyes. She lo
Leah POVI walked away, feeling hurt at what I had just seen. I did not need a priest to tell me that they had reconciled and had had sex. It reeked of them, especially Stephanie. Her smug smile when she saw me made it more obvious. Damian didn't even care. His cold eyes glanced at me without remorse. Why did he have to flirt with me if he had no feelings for me? It hurt. I was going to the clinic since I had not been able to go earlier. I was sure a lot of the men must have healed. When I got there, there was just a small group of men waiting outside. I became confused. What was going on? They turned as I got closer. “Welcome Luna Anne,” they chorused and bowed. It felt weird.“Thank you. What is going on? Why is everyone outside?” I asked them, glancing at the now familiar faces. One of them cleared his throat. “We would like to apologize and also say thank you for taking care of us,” he said loudly and everyone murmured their agreement. “OH, it's alright,” I said, surprised
Leah POVThe room suddenly became quiet at my words. I was getting fed up with her. Stephanie growled and stood up. Damian held her arm before she could move. “Sit down,” he ordered and she sat back in her seat. Connor snickered quietly at my side and I smiled. He could not hold it in. Damian looked at me and shook his head. “You do not have any right to call people names here, Anne. We have much bigger problems at hand and bantering with each other won't solve it,” he growled at me. I wrapped my arms around my chest. He was scolding me when it was his mistress who started it. It was to be expected. They were in love. “I have no issue with looking for a solution for it but no one should curse at my father in front of me. My wolf might not have healed but I will not take it from anyone,” I said, looking stern. I needed to pass the message across. If I allowed them to speak whatever they wanted about him, it would make me seem like a bad daughter and Damian might get suspicious du
Leah POV Connor didn't say a word to me again and stood up to leave the room. I could not understand why he was acting so cold towards me. I tried thinking if I had done anything to get him angry but I could not remember doing such. Why was he acting this way? As we got out of the door, I grabbed his arm, stopping him from moving away. “You should not be holding me like that, Princess. People might think something else,” he said coldly to me and I withdrew my hands. “Are you angry at me?” I could not help but ask. He shook his head and turned to walk away again. I followed him. Connor was my only close friend in this pack of wolves. He did not know but his presence has been making my stay here bearable. “I'm not stupid, Connor. I know you are angry with me,” I said, while walking behind him. He didn't stop to deny my words. “What did I do?” I asked him and he stopped walking, held my arm and pulled me into a small and dark room. “You do not know what you did right? Wel
Damian POVDid she just shut the door on my face? I blinked back my surprise. I had spoken without thinking and I saw how hurt she looked before she closed the door.I raised my hand to knock on the door again but paused. What exactly was I doing? I had come here due to how I felt when I saw her and Connor coming out from a room.Although she looked more angry at him than happy, I still could not get this nagging feeling out of my mind. Whatever it was going on between them, I wanted it to end. My wolf would not be able to handle it and would get jealous. I knew I was being a hypocrite for stopping her when I was having an affair with someone else but it was not the same thing. I turned around to go to my room when I caught sight of Evelyn, Anne's maid. I remembered that Anne had complained about her before so I walked towards her. As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened and she looked away. Was she spying on me and Anne for Stephanie? “Evelyn,” I called her. She looked up. “Follo
Leah POV I had a new goal in mind. I've been in this pack for almost two weeks, it was time I found something to do. But first I needed to perform a ritual to seal my wolf. The subsequent rustling within me was not something I welcomed at the moment. It would put my life in danger and I did not want that. Tonight was the night of a full moon. The perfect day for the ritual. I already had everything ready. The candle, water from the stream and my blood. It was dark magic and very risky for me, I knew but I had to do it. The day was already far gone so I decided to leave my room. I had no maid again, thanks to Stephanie and had to do everything myself. I left my room with no destination in mind and went out. I had thought to just go to the clinic but decided against it. I was not planning to work as a healer of any sort. “Luna Anne,” I heard someone scream my name as I was about to open the door and I turned around. It was Evelyn. She ran down the stairs in haste, going down
Damien POVI was not impressed in the slightest. In fact I was getting pissed off just thinking about it. I expected more from her. I placed my trust in her. Stephanie looked guilty, not saying a word and it irked me. I closed my eyes for a moment, not wanting to yell at her. I had to control my anger, else I would say things I did not mean. “What do you mean the factory was closed for a while?” I growled, opening my eyes to stare at her. After going through the documents containing the inflow and outflow of money in the pack, I noticed we were not having as much inflow as the outflow which was strange. The factory was still functioning so I suspected maybe someone was stealing from me, not expecting Stephanie to drop such a bomb on me. The factory had been closed for a while. She shrugged. “Exactly what I meant. The machines needed some repairs so I've been searching for a good technician to take care of it and had not gotten any yet,” she explained. I growled in anger, not abl
