Leah POVI woke up feeling flustered, worry gnawing in my mind. The room was too quiet. Stifling a yawn, I stood up from the chair I was seated on and went to check up on Damian. He was still unconscious. I checked his pulse. It was beating wildly. My neck was sore from constantly watching him the whole night. It reminded me of when I had saved Anne. Saving her was what brought me here in the first place. What would happen this time when Damian woke up? The door flew open unexpectedly and I heard her before I saw her. “Why is he still asleep?” As usual it was Stephanie and her impatient self. Taking a look at her, I noticed her eyes were red and she looked deranged. Marcus was behind her. He also was not faring any better. Why were they both looking so unkept when I was the one taking care of him all through the night? I wanted to ask.“Why is he still not awake?” She asked angrily, glaring at my hand. I was holding his wrist and she was not happy about that. “It is wolfsbane, S
Leah POV We spoke at the same time, not expecting to see him. Damian looked at the both of us with a grim expression. His face was as white as a sheet. When did he wake up? He was not supposed to be out of bed! “What are you doing here? You should be lying down,” I glared, going to hold his arms. I started pulling him back into the room and surprisingly there was no resistance from him. Amelia and Evelyn were just standing by the sides, unable to speak. He sat on the bed, looking at me strangely. “What were you doing with Connor?” He asked quietly. I pursed my lips, not ready to answer his questions. I knew he was thinking I had feelings for Connor. Stupid Alpha. I pushed him flat on the bed. He kept looking at me. “I think the first thing you should be asking is where is the mined lead since you almost died because of it,” I grumbled. “Were you scared for me?” He asked, groaning when he tried to move. “Stop moving!” I yelled in annoyance. He paused, eyes wide as he stared
Damian POVI watched her lips contour into a huge smile and she shyly tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. She looked very pretty, like a shy teenager as she did that. Stephanie cleared her voice, glaring at me. I ignored her glare. The woman before me was the prettiest person I had ever seen. Sprinkles of green passed through her eyes, drawing me in. “Well, I guess you can find something more appropriate for me,” she said shyly. “You do not need anything else. A thank you would suffice,” Stephanie interrupted the conversation. Anne rolled her eyes. I also resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Stephanie was doing too much and it was tiring. “Why don't you go and check on the mined lead Connor brought,” I suggested, wanting to be alone with Anne. Connor was also by the door watching us without a word. “But…” she tried to speak. “I have some things to discuss with her,” I told her, dismissing her. Reluctantly she stood up from her seat, threw Anne a glare before walking away
Leah POV I ran out, going as fast I could. When in close proximity, I was unable to think so I was running away from Damian and his seductive voice. Without even trying, he had seduced me. A kiss from him and I was ready to be his. What sort of man was he? I was never a cheap girl. It must be due to fatigue. Yes, that must have been the reason for my unladylike response to him. During the kiss, I also felt my wolf rustling within me trying to wake up from her slumber but I forced her back to sleep. I had to be careful around him. His presence always made her want out. My heart was beating loudly as I walked. Some men bowed as I walked past them but I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge it. It felt like I had done something extremely bad. I could not let Stephanie find out else I was dead meat. She would most likely try to kill me and I was not ready for that. I entered the house, trying to get to my room so I could take another shower. I wanted to forget how much my body m
Damian POV “So we got them?” I wanted to confirm his statement. He nodded with a proud look on his face. “Yes, Alpha. We were able to take the mined lead back but the plan did not go according to plan so we do not know who the mastermind is,” he told me. I didn't care about the one behind the stealing. I was just filled with relief that we were able to get the mined lead. At least, I could start putting my plans into action. “Do not bother about that. What about Alpha Elijah, did he want to see his daughter?” I asked him, trying not to look interested. “Yes, but I told him the Princess wanted some time with her husband. He looked dejected but accepted my excuse,” He said. My hands gripped the irons bearing the bed. I didn't want to think about what could have been if I was not in the picture. Would Connor try to betray me because of her?“What about the things I told you to do?” I had told him to watch Anne and report her every action. He agreed to do it but was reluctant. I co
Leah POV It was a bright and sunny day. I was in a good mood for some strange reasons. Well, technically there were various reasons why I should be in a good mood but I was not going to dwell on them. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I opened my door which has become like the gate to my life. When I was in my room I could do whatever I liked but once I took a step outside my doors, I had to mind my words and actions. Today, I would be going to pick some herbs and also check on the maintenance guy in the factory. Yesterday I could not go there due to all the events that happened. Besides, I later heard Marcus had gone there so it gave me a little bit of comfort. As usual, Evelyn was already standing there waiting for me. She looked as vibrant as always. I had the urge to compliment her for all she had been doing but I decided to wait a little bit more, just to observe. “Good morning, Luna. Will you be having breakfast?” She asked when she saw me. I didn't feel like eati
Damian POV“Who gave you the authority to do that without his permission?” Stephanie yelled at Marcus who was standing by the side of my office.I could understand why she was angry and bothered about the announcement he had made in our absence. It was uncalled for. He might have had good intentions for doing that but it made me go against my word. After promising Stephanie that I would not introduce Anne to the pack, I should have commanded them not to do it either. There would be no mess now. “Say something Damian,” she whined like a petulant child. “Let's not dwell on it, Steph,” I told her weakly. My shoulders were still sore. I didn't have the energy for this. “Not dwell on it?” She screamed, her face turning red with anger. Her eyes narrowed and looked at me suspiciously. “Leave, Marcus,” I dismissed him before she continued ranting. He bowed and left the room. “You do not tell him to leave when I'm still speaking Damian. It makes me look weak,” she admonished me. “Give i
Leah POV “Luna!” Tessa yelled as I was walking to the pack house. It felt like the day Marcus had introduced me there to everyone. Was there something going on in the pack house that I did not know about? On my way, I saw a group of men coming closer to me. They bowed immediately when they saw me. “We have been ordered to bring you to the pack house, Luna,” they said in unison. “Alright, let's go,” I accepted as that was my destination. Together we walked to the pack house. As I entered, the first person I saw was Connor, who had a hard expression on his face. He saw me and I saw him visibly relax and heave a sigh of relief. Did something happen? “Luna,” Amelia called out, coming towards me with her son in her arms. I had noticed she did not let her baby stop her from doing her work as the healer in the pack and I loved that for her. “What is going on?” I blurted out immediately. I could sense that something was wrong without being told. She wanted to speak but glanced at C
