He wanted us to prepare a feast that would make the Alpha relax and less in a bad mood according to his order. So we needed all hands on deck to prepare a huge and sumptuous dinner for Damien.Clara gave me a concerned look that made me look away uncomfortably. I guessed then that she had also heard about how I was being treated by Damien.As the maid that had come to call us left, Clara turned to me."Are you okay?" She asked me a soft, gentle tone in my voice.Despite my affection for Clara, the way she spoke to me and asked me that question irritated me. It sounded as though she pitied me and I hated every bit of it and of that moment. I hated being pitied.

~ Isabella’s POVI was laid flat-out on my back in my bed as I watched the clock in my room tick. My eyes drifted half closed as my thoughts wandered all over the place. I held my hand out gingerly from my body, still engulfed by guilt over what had happened to Emily. I knew that it wasn't my fault, but I still couldn't help the feelings of guilt that had assailed me the moment she screamed out in pain. I could only hope that she had a strong wolf which would speed up her healing and recovery process. As for me, because I was an omega, I already knew that I was going to heal at a rate closer to that of humans. The physical torture that I had endured at Damien's hands when I had first arrived had taught me the hard way.I wondered if Clara was fine or if she had had to go back to the kitchens to work. Thinking about Clara made me think about our conversation earlier, when she had asked me about my parents. A sudden wave of nostalgia crashed into me and I missed them so very much at tha

~ Nathan’s POVI couldn't believe Damien had asked me to accompany him to the Alpha meeting. It seemed out of character, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. As I walked back to my room, I was lost in thought thinking about what could be running through his mind.Was it possible he had caught wind of my true identity? Does he know about my plans to expose him at the Alpha meeting? Fuck! What exactly do you know, you ruthless bastard?!I mulled over what his intentions could be as I walked into my room, trying to unravel the mystery behind his sudden invitation. Albert must have seen the expression of worry I had on my face, he didn’t even allow me to settle down before asking why Damien called me.“What did you guys talk about?” He asked, staring at me intently.I walked over to my bed to sit and then Albert quickly took his seat across from me asking me again what I and Damien had talked about.“He asked me to accompany him to the Alpha meeting,” I replied t

~ Damien’s POVI was still seated on my bed after ordering the butler to ask the kitchen staff to prepare my food, thinking about what had happened with Amber.What the hell is wrong with me? Why would I call her by Isabella's name?It was not until my eyes began to water that I realized that I had not been blinking. I had just been staring into space.What on earth is wrong with me? I thought to myself as I ran a hand over my face.The issue with Jones and his accusation must have affected me more than I thought.I clenched both my jaws and my fist as I thought to myself, Alpha Nathan, Beta Jones, you will definitely pay for all of this. I'll destroy you and your pack. I'll make you watch as I slaughter every member of your pack before your eyes and burn everything to the ground. I'll allow you to crawl to me and beg me before I end your misery and take your life.Just then, Luke came into my room, informing me that Albert had lost consciousness.

~Isabella's POVI opened my eyes to see Alpha Damien hovering over me, a rigid look on his face. I hurriedly pushed myself into a sitting position. In the process, I accidentally leaned forward on my bandaged hand, forgetting about the burn I had suffered. I winced and yelped in pain as I took my hand off the bed."Are you okay?"His jaw was clenched and I hurriedly got off the bed, stumbling a little as I stood in front of him with my head bowed. From the corner of my eye, I watched him lunge towards me and immediately stepped back, flinching as I held my hands up in automatic defense.I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the strike that was sure to come my way. It never did.I opened my eyes slowly to see him just staring at me without saying a word. He had a weird expression on his face, it was almost as though he was in pain. I lowered my eyes cautiously and cleared my throat carefully."Are… Are you okay, Alpha?" I asked.He jolted as if he had been lost in his thoughts. His

~Isabella's POVThe room held an uneasy stillness as Damien straightened, his demeanor shifting from the haze of intoxication to a semblance of sobriety. I watched with guarded apprehension, my senses on high alert. The interlude of vulnerability felt like a fragile thread, and I knew the Alpha's return to his usual self loomed.Damien's gaze locked onto mine, the remnants of his confession lingering in the air like a haunting melody. The room seemed to shrink, the boundaries of our individual struggles merging in the silence.The intensity in his eyes wavered, a subtle acknowledgment of the internal turmoil that defined him. He ran a hand through his hair, the gesture a manifestation of the complexities entwined within his existence."What the fuck are you doing, Damien," he muttered, seeming frustrated with himself and the situation.I remained silent, allowing him to navigate the intricacies of a sentiment he rarely expressed. The acknowledgment of his own shortcomings held a pecul

~ Nathan’s POVI yelled out the doctor’s name and asked him to come and check up on Albert. The doctor ran to my side to check on him. The doctor spent a few minutes on him as I hovered by his side and when he was done, he told me that Albert would be fine and that he had only lost his consciousness. He assured me that he would wake up once he had had enough rest.I wasn't convinced and I let the doctor know.“Are you sure? Don’t you have to do a thorough check up on him?” I asked him, as I inwardly wondered if there was another doctor from whom I could get a second opinion.“Of course he is fine. You don't have anything to worry about,” the doctor assured me again with an understanding smile. He left me alone as he needed to attend to other patients. I sat beside Albert, feeling overly guilty for what he was going through at that moment.I wiped away his sweats with a towel, checking his vitals every second. Just then, my phone beeped. I checked who sent the message and it was none

~ Nathan’s POVThe guard was shocked and at the same time became mute. He stared at me, moving back as I approached him. I stretched out my hands for a handshake and then requested for his name. He blinked rapidly and then asked if I had truly accepted his proposal.“Sure. If I haven’t then I won’t be standing in front of you,” I said, still stretching out my hands.“Didn’t you said that you are into girls?” He asked, still not accepting my handshake.I retracted my hand and sighed.“I only said that because there were a lot of people in the room that day,” I replied to him.“Really?” He asked, arching an eyebrow.“Are you probably up to something?” He asked.“What?” I asked, a bit surprised because I was sure my acting was superb and that I didn’t show that I was up to no good.“Are you trying to beat me up again?” He asked.I smiled, feeling relieved when I heard him.“Why would I beat you up again? I won’t raise my hands up to beat someone I love. Not after I’m finally sure that I
