Alpha Damien's POV I can feel this odd sense of peace flowing through me as I lead my next training class with some of my warriors.Walking through as they spar with one another to make sure everyone is top notch it just seeped into me. Looking around I wondered if it was from me, as I watched how strong and capable my men are only to close my eyes and feel Dahlia.After she dropped off some food for myself and the others, I assumed she would head back to the house again to continue helping in the kitchens. That was until I saw her with a few other women from the pack with a couple little ones. She went back to them then lifted a box before following them over to the school.Now this feeling pushing through my emotions tells me that she is feeling something she was worried about. That worry she's been trying to push aside at the thought that people would blame her for our predicament with Alpha Knight. Hopefully now, without just her usual crowd of people trying to reassure her tha
Alpha Damien's POV Continued The next few days seemed to just fly by. Between training, working with the new warriors, integrating them into our pack with my people and going over pack business I feel as if I haven't seen Dahlia at all.When I start my day she is still sleeping, then when I finally get back to our room to go to bed she's already asleep.She sneaks by the training grounds every day to make sure I eat lunch, then to my office to bring me dinner. Yet there is no real time for us through that.She has been busy with everything going on as well. Working with our female members to make sure everything is set up in the bunkers. Baking, or cooking all morning long with the kitchen staff to ensure that everyone is fed and taken care of.She has fully stepped into her role as the Luna of the pack. People come to her with issues that sheanages to take care of quickly and efficiently. Alexi has told me that Levi has settled in with her perfectly. They work in tandem with one a
Dahlia's POV I was so excited, looking at myself in the floor length mirror of my dressing room. I was to be married today, to my mate. He was the Beta of my pack, the Knight Moon Pack. The pack is named after my family. My great great great grandfather was the first Alpha here, the man that put this whole pack together.He had triplet sons, all mated to one woman who gave birth to three boys, one with each triplet. Two of them left to start a pack across the country when my grandfather took over for this pack.He had a son with my grandmother, a long line of only boys in this family until my father had me. The first female to be born into the Knight family. He and my mother proceeded to have another child, my brother Levi, who is just a year younger than myself.Dad really never had much to do with me but was proud when he found out I was mated to the man stepping into the Beta position alongside my brother next year when he took the Alpha spot.We have to wait until he turns eighte
Dahlia's POV Continued Alanah would get quiet, like she was receding in my mind where I couldn't reach out to her. It made my heart rate spike as a sheen of sweat would form on me. Almost like I was having a panic attack while I'd get this odd feeling inside myself, in my stomach like a small ball of pain.It felt different today though, almost pleasurable at the same time it hurt, the pull stronger than before as I stepped down the little steps that led to the mirror. Slowly opening my door, I peered out into the hallway, looking from the left to the right as the pull got stronger than before.I stepped out of my dressing room, turned to the right and followed the hall down a bit before turning left into another hallway. I felt as if I was in a daze as I continued down. It felt as if the stretch of hallway kept getting longer, but I was just taking very slow, calculated steps as my heart rate would keep increasing.Something was wrong, then I took another step forward to see a door c
Dahlia's POV Continued I felt the tether snap, he fell down to his knees as he howled out in pain. His hand reached out for me but I knocked it away from me."Accept it Parker! Accept my rejection!""NO! I won't accept it.""Then you shall feel the pain every time I lay with someone, you will long for the bond you chose to hold onto as I severed mine."His hand reached back out to me, he begged me to take it back, but I knew why, without me he would become weaker instead of stronger when marking me. He didn't want me, no, he wanted the power and strength that would come to him by being with me.Now he will have to explain why I have rejected him, why I won't be here when they call for me to walk down the aisle.I turned my body, my dress swishing around before I walked out of the room, the Omega still cowering in the corner of the room as she witnessed it all.Slamming the door behind me I ran down the hall, back around the corner, passed my room to the double doors that sat closed at
Dahlia's POV Continued"Just realizing you are no longer home little Alpha? I can smell your fear, you know."He said as he began circling around me."You ran into me, you came running with tears streaming down your face, in a wedding dress at that. You say that 'You were' supposed to marry the boy that should become Beta to your own pack, isn't that right?Yet what I'm trying to understand is why you would run away from a mate" He sniffed the air around me, "One you have mated with, yet you bear no mark from him. Tell me Alpha Dahlia Knight, why have you run away?"He stepped back in front of me, his eyes still black as night as he stared straight into my soul."I rejected him."His eyes went wide as he stood there looking at me."When did you do this?""I rejected him, I found him balls deep inside an Omega.Then ran from that damn hall I was to marry him in."I slammed my mouth shut after I spoke, I can't believe I had said that out loud, I'm such an idiot."Did he accept this rejec
Dahlia's POV ContinuedLooking up at this man, it's almost like his expression had softened a bit as he looked at me, making my head tilt as I stared into his eyes."How did you find me so fast? Not your guards?"His eyes widened a bit before, shock flashing through his eyes before it was gone as fast as it came. A small chuckle came from him, a wicked looking smile formed on his face revealing his canines as his eyes went dark."Because I could smell you coming."Fear ran through my body when I was suddenly lifted up into the air and thrown over his shoulder as he began trucking us through the woods."Umm, you don't have to carry me. I won't run from you, I promise. I can walk."He stopped moving as I felt his hand travel up my body, rounding over my ass making my heart skip a beat as his hand landed on the small of my back before he gently moved me down his body before steadying me on my feet."If you run from me, I will find you, I will always be able to find you now. You can never
Dahlia's POV Continued"What's wrong little Alpha, don't like what you see?"I swallowed slowly before I turned my head back to him, my eyes closed as I felt him standing over me. His hand came to my chin as he tilted my head up before whispering to me to open my eyes.Taking in a deep breath, the scent of gingerbread mixed with kindling entered my nose making my eyes snap open as I looked up to this man."Am I not a desirable little Alpha female? Should my feelings be hurt by your actions?"I slowly shook my head as I couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from him before seeing him move down my body when he made a disapproving sound. "Look what I did to your dress. Blood seeping into the fabric, spreading through the lace and silk staining it. I hope you aren't too upset about it, it still looks perfect on you, maybe a bit more now actually."I looked down at my dress, the blood strewn across the front of it, missing the corset thankfully, then looked back up to him to see his eyes st
