Dahlia’s POV
“You are crazy! You are fucking crazy! She is one of you! I know you hate me but she is a member of your pack!” I jump over and take Ava in my arms as Lola walks over like a vicious snake fluttering its tongue!
“Miss Dahlia...” Ava burst into tears and I bury her face in my chest. Her tiny body trembles in my arms.
“Say you are sorry for helping the shameless slave!” Lola snaps viciously at Ava, “Apologize and stop helping her, then I might spare you!”
Ava shakes her head slightly, hiding in my arms.
“Say you are sorry! You won’t help me anymore! I won’t keep you as my maid!” I urge Ava, too. What’s so important about saying some words when your life is at stake?!
“No...” Ava murmurs timidly, tears in her eyes, but still, she shakes her head firmly, &l
Dahlia’s POVWhat's wrong? Just about everything.I have been waiting for him for so long, yet at this moment, I don’t know what to say to him.“What are you doing here?” I ask. My own voice sounds surreal to me.Damon looks like he just finished a ten-mile run. His face a little flushed, and his shirt wrinkled. He is not even wearing a coat as he always does after I stabbed him.Damon doesn’t answer.He was bending over to search for my eyes, but when Damon’s cold deep blue eyes fall on the pale corpse beside me, he frowns and stands up straight.“Barke!” Damon raises his voice, yet his eyes nailed on me.With a light rustle from behind me, Barke appears from where Lola glanced at before! She sensed Barke’s presence and yet she still dared to kill Ava?!&nb
Dahlia’s POV“You believe him, don’t you?” I shout after Damon, he stops but doesn’t even turn around.“Why won’t you condemn me if you think I killed Ava?!” I demand Damon, my shout hoarse and desperate, “Your people died, wrongly and brutally, and you don’t even care?! Damon Hayes, do you not have a heart?!”Damon turns around, looking at me with a deep frown.“If you think I killed her, then kill me!” I snap angrily, “If you care about your people at all, you would look into this and see that Lola is behind all this!”“Dahlia, Lola is not allowed in the mansion since your last fight with her,” Damon says simply.“I just saw her seven fucking days ago! In YOUR arms!” I shout.Damon sighs with a tired look, after a few second
Damon’s POVA traitor inside the walls is plotting against your Luna-to-be.That’s what Lola told me.The delegation of the League requires tours of the pack, checking of my books, and finishing the “Alpha’s trials” within days. But I know that none of these can keep the title off my head, and they know that full well, too.My Luna-to-be is the real target of them -- the Alphas on the 13 seats that don’t want to bow to me.They know they can’t make me mark a random person, and they backed up a step --I will get the title of The Supreme so long as I announce my choice for a Luna. No mark is required, and no ritual will be done. Meaning nothing substantial needs to change. I can even call off the announcement tomorrow after I claim a random person.So long as I have a Luna-to-be tonight, the title
Damon’s POV[You didn’t have to run over just to check on her. Barke is capable of handling any situation that can possibly occur within the mansion,] Lupus complains on our way back.[How could I not?She was feeling the same way she did on the night we found her, when she was about to be raped!] I grunt at my wolf.We can feel the mood of mate to some extent. The stronger the mood, the more clearly we feel. We would never have found her if she wasn’t in my pack that night when she was about to be raped.I can’t bear to even imagine what would happen to the both of us if I wasn’t there to save her that night.Lupus cares about Dahlia. He wouldn't have told me she was feeling desperate just now if he didn't. But he can be over-protecting sometimes, especially since Dahlia stabbed me.He is just pissed by the silverdagg
Damon’s POV It would make my winning look ordinary if I take some wins and also some losses, but if I win all the fights I get into, and waive all the rest, the result would still be unique. Not a pure winning, but special enough to be remembered. IF, I can win the last fight. I can’t afford to lose it now. I avoided some of the Alpha on the stronger side, and I waived the fights with the weakest one, too. Raymond was on the strong side, and my plan was to take him down as my final battle before I waived the last fight with the strongest Alpha, Taran. But that’s out of the window. By the window now sits a man in his thirties, away from everyone. His golden hair draped over his eyes, his head kept low. Taran is a cold one. Not dirty, but not on my friend list either. He has no friend in the League, nor a mate. That seat had been his way before I even got into the League. He is commonly known as the strongest among the 13 seats for a reason, and that reason is why I wanted to avo
Damon’s POVThough not exactly as I planned, the party is finally here.No matter how much Kayle and his little dirty circle don’t like me, I’m claiming the title tonight. I hear that they have already been restraining their dirty businesses such as Omega trafficking, rank selling, and money laundering.The Alpha of a pack is supposed to take care of his people and lead the pack into a better future, not using the power given to them for selfish benefits that make the rich richer and the poor poorer.I will end that age and anyone who dares to stand in my way.Thanks to the unprecedented honor given by Alpha Taran, the party is too unprecedentedly grand. The pack is boiled for my win. Though it wasn’t quite a win, I decided to not spoil their excitement.We have a huge, dirty war ahead. Today belongs to my warriors.Lola came in that ugly red dress she had been wearing for days. I wonder if she ever changes. I don’t know if she bought the same red dress Dahlia wore once just to mimic
Damon’s POV[Find her, now!] I cut off the mindlink, striding to the gate as fast as I could without showing my panic.If all Dahlia wants is coming to talk then it won’t be a big issue. My only worry is her safety on the way over. They want to do something to Dahlia while I’m stuck here at the party. I have to go!“Alpha, where are you going?” Lola catches up with me when I maneuver through the crowded lobby. She hooks her arm with mine, pulling me backward with an awkward smile as she hisses at me with a low voice, “You need to make the announcement now!”“Not right now, I’ll be back,” I throw her arm off mine, heading for the door.“You are going for HER, aren’t you?” Lola stops, standing there with a cold glare at me. A strange shade of viciousness and desperation in her voice. A voice that I have never heard from her.I turn to look at her slowly. My blood ran cold.It WAS her! She knows what’s going on.She knows where Dahlia is.“What did you do?” I ask, noticing the desperatio
Damon’s POV[Rip off his fucking head!] Lupus bursts into a growl the moment he sees Justin holding the hand of our mate.The room falls into silence at Dahlia’s appearance for shock.I do, too, for the breath-taking dress on her.I can't move and I can’t think. My mind is blank at the moment. Blank at the shock of my mate being so intimate with another man, the shock of the messy secrets involving my mate, my beta, and a man that I never paid too much attention to.Blank at the sudden appearance of my supposed-to-be lost mate.All I could think of is how gorgeous she looks in that dress.She fixed it. Made it even better.I knew she would look beyond amazing the moment I saw that dress at the auction. I thought she didn’t like it when she tore it. I guess she just didn’t like me.Dahlia would never know what a hellish five minutes I went through from the moment I thought she was lost. She wouldn’t understand, even if I told her. But all is fine now.So long as she is fine, I don’t ca
