Damien's POV“Or what?” her eyes are dark as she continues to glare at me.Logan begins to stir, his head rubbing against Irina’s shoulder as he yawns and opens his eyes. A smile spreads across his face and I watch as that flash of light runs around his eyes while he gazes lovingly at her. He doesn’t say anything, instead he turns his head to me, and he watches me in the same way as Irina does. Was he making her this way?I try to keep my composure, “Did you have a nice sleep Logan?”His head bobs up and down, but he doesn’t speak, it was so unlike him, normally he didn’t stop talking unless he was napping. Holding my arms out to him, I was hoping he would want to come to me, but instead he leans more into her, that light in his eyes getting brighter.Irina turns on her heel, carrying him inside without even looking back. The nannies look at me in confusion, but I was just as confused. What was happening to my mate?“It’s been happening a lot since you have been looking for Irina.”Au
Irina’s POVSomehow, I just seem to know where to go. Logan clings to me as much as I cling to him, that overpowering feeling of love that I had heard new mothers talk about, well, I understood it now.His room was right next to Damien’s, the walls painted in a soft blue, all the furniture in his room white, it would have been exactly how I would have decorated it too, the funny thing was, Damien and I never got a chance to talk about that and yet somehow, he just knew that this is what I would want for our child.Logan wriggles in my arms, trying to get down and as I lower him, he runs over to his toddler bed, jumping up and down on the mattress in excitement and chattering to himself. It is only when a button on his top comes undone that a see a blue crescent on his chest. It looked like a mate mark, but how was that possible, how could he already have a mark and on his chest?“Mommy look at me.” He breaks my thoughts and climbs
Damien’s POVWe turn to look at Logan, who is standing looking up at us with an innocent smile. The light in his purple eyes had disappeared and they were now an almost deep purple instead.“Logan?”“Witches are bad. Bad people daddy, I help.”I had never spoken to him about witches, there was never any need to speak of them yet. He will learn about them in school when he is in his teens.Irina drops to her knees, holding her arms out to him, as he runs into them, she holds him tight and whispers ‘we don’t hurt people,’ but as he looks over her shoulder to me, the smile disappears before he turns his head away and buries it into Irina.I didn’t want to think about it, I didn’t like what I was seeing, and I hoped that Austin was wrong, but I was seeing it more and more. Our child was dark, he was two and he held a darkness about him. Is this what would make him the ultimate Alpha?The chef lets me know that dinner is ready through a link and as I tell Irina and Logan, she looks at me w
Damien’s POVIrina was still sleeping as Logan continues to tell me that mommy’s pack were in his dreams, talking about hunting him down. He was shaking as he speaks, tears forming in his purple eyes as he keeps glancing at a sleeping Irina.“Daddy, they are coming.”“I won’t let them hurt you. I won’t let them take you.” I pull him towards me on the bed, as his tears run down his face.“You can’t stop them.”He snuggles in between Irina and I, his breathing heavy. He may not be the next Blood Alpha, but he was connected to them just as much as Irina and I wondered if he would be able to listen in on their plans. As the tears stop and he settles down, holding my hand. He tells me he is scared.“Don’t be, I will protect you with all of my heart.”He buries into me, his sniffling eventually turning to quiet snores, and I watch as his chest rises and falls with each breath.I wake Irina when I am certain that Logan is deeply asleep, repeating to her what he told me. First she looked at m
Irina’s POVDamien’s eyes are glazed, his brows in a deep v, when they return to normal colour, the noise from outside seeps in. Lonecrown was being attacked!Damien glances at me and then at Kendra, “Whatever you do, do not leave!”He hurries out, leaving Kendra and I, her hand is gripped just as tightly to mine as mine is to hers. I had no abilities; I couldn’t help and we were basically sitting ducks. My doctor comes into the room, barricading the door, not that it will be much use if it were the Blood Pack that was attacking.Screams of people running for their lives echoed through the window, just like that night my mother had gone to war, only now the sound didn’t bring me comfort, now I feared for my family’s life.“Who is attacking?” Kendra asked quietly, her nails were now beginning to dig into my skin, leaving little half moons across the back of my hand.“It’s Blood Pack.” The doctor growls as he peeks through the blinds.“Where is Logan?” He wasn’t here with me and he wasn
Damien’s POVI lost sight of her; it was impossible to keep an eye on my mate without being taken down. Our numbers had grown in the last two years, and I hoped there would be enough of us to keep them at bay. They were bigger and slower than us and in the last two years, I had requested everyone step up their training, we had to be better and it had paid off. We were faster, stronger and quicker than ever, all in preparation for this day.Some of their pack run by me and the wolf I was fighting, I briefly see Irina’s wolf charge towards the packhouse, she had Raine back.I didn’t have chance to link her as the wolf I am fighting tackles me to the ground, snapping my arm as he crashes down on top of me. The pain shoots all the way up my arm and into my neck as I shove him from me.“You will pay for that.” I roar at him and plunge my teeth into his neck, tearing out his throat and spitting it in his face. He crumbles to the ground as I snap my arm back, waiting for the bones to start h
Damien’s POVIt was weeks before she regained consciousness. Logan stayed with us most days in the hospital waiting for his mommy to wake up. He would sit on her bed or lay cuddled into her, telling her about everything he had done that day.Kendra stayed too, checking over Irina, checking the Doctors work, the Doctor wasn’t impressed but Logan liked her and that was more important to me.“You help my mommy?” he asked her one day and she nods her head, smiling at him.“Yes, she will get better, her brain just needs to rest, like a big, long sleep.”Now was my opportunity, I had been waiting for the right time to speak to him about what had happened.“Do you know what happened to mommy?”He shakes his head at me, a little frown on his face. "They hurt my mommy."I use the time to explain to him what had really happened to Irina, in terms that he would understand. He stays quiet, listening to my words and nodding his head.“Logan, I do not want you to use it, not until you are much olde
Irina’s POVLogan sits quietly with me as I close my eyes, listening to Damien and Kendra. Even I’m surprised when he tells Kendra that its time to tell the world of our existence.“Did daddy really say that?” Logan whispers in my ear and I peer at him with one eye.“Sometimes to make ourselves better, we have to accept change.”He screws his face up at me, trying to understand what I was saying and I was about to explain when I hear Kendra yell at Damien.“My daughter is dead! Don’t try and stir up some shit that I don’t need!”“Kendra, I don’t think she is. You said yourself Gunnar took her away from you and brought her back after he showed Ketill, whose to say he didn’t switch her for another newbor?”“Don’t you think I would have considered that? She is gone Damien!”She pushes her way back into my room, slamming the door in his face. If she had been a pack member, Damien’s reaction would be very different, instead he mutters “humans” and walks away.Kendra flops down in the chair
