Damon's POV When I had thought to enter the mansion area through the back route, I didn't think much about it other than the fact that I want Alpha River to see how disrespectful he had acted when he came to my pack land without prior notice. What I didn't expect was that I would stumble upon something so pleasant to my ears. And I heard it all. Every word that has transpired between River and Evie. The way the man had blatantly asked Evie to be his spy and how the woman had refused him and his offer. The way he had tried to be insisting and the woman had also insisted that she was not going to do such a thing no matter how hard he tried to get her to do that. To say I was impressed would be saying the least about these things. I was both impressed and happy. Yes, I stopped doubting her loyalty after she led me straight to that cloaked man. I had even had it at the back of my mind to announce her freedom as a slave to the entire pack just to show my gratitude to her. But the way sh
Damon/Leo's POV I continued racing through the pack's gate until I got us to the pack's gate. When I got there, I was stopped by the guards at the main gate who were frightened to see a wolf walk through the pack softly. I didn't bother to say anything to them. I knew that the moment they saw my golden eyes, along with my white fur, they would bow their head and let me through. Even without that, when they see Evie on my back, they would know who was walking. My thoughts worked. Once they realized one of the two, they all cleared the way and bowed their heads to me in respect. Seeing all the guards at the gate must have made Evie apprehensive because she tried to get down from my back. I turned my golden eyes at her and growled softly, warning her not to try what she was about to do. She must have seen how I was because she stopped and just sat there calmly as she did before. But there was one thing I noticed that was different about her. And that was the fact that she seemed to be
Miss Kardashian's POV I couldn't hold it in no matter how hard I tried. How was I supposed to hold it in? That man had bloody yelled at me because of that worthless slave! It was hard to admit, but I was currently jealous as badly as possible. What was that about anyway? Could it be that Damon was already tired of me? Could it be that was his way of letting me know that he was going to cut me off from his life? No, no, no. I shook my head in denial. There was no way I would let him off like that. He belongs to me! No force on earth could change that fact. So, I had to act fast if I still wanted to keep what was mine by right. Not willing to leave the breeze to blow over everything that had happened between the man and me, I rushed up the stairs. I saw the man come out of his room just as I was about to take the last step to the top. Of course, Evie was missing behind him. "What do you want?" He asked me calmly. My hope renewed as I felt that all he did back there in the living r
Damon's POV I didn't wait to see if the guards did as I instructed (there was no need to wait around and see anyway since I was sure that they would do exactly as I instructed them). I wouldn't even wait around if it was a must. As things stood, the only thing on my mind was to get Evie out of the presence of this woman and comfort her. I looked at where she was still on the floor, barely covered by the towel I wrapped around her, crying her eyes out. My heart broke a little. Had it always been like this for her and I was just oblivious to her harassment because I hardened my heart towards her? All for what? The fact that she got mated to me? I was a jerk, I knew it now. The poor girl had nothing to do with being mated to me. If anything, I was sure that she didn't even know that she was destined to spend the rest of her life with a cold-hearted person like me -something she might be both frightened or repulsed by. Why the hell had I been so engrossed in my own plight that I forgot
Damon's POV Another hour passed, and the woman that had been sleeping peacefully woke up. She moaned softly, and I was forced to race to her side to see what was going on with her. "Are you okay?" I asked her. She peeked at me under her eyelashes. As soon as she recognized me, she flew up from where she slept on the bed. "Easy," I warned her when I saw how she winced from the pain she felt in her arm for moving it abruptly like that. "Ma-master," She stammered out to me. "I didn't mean to-" I knew that she was going to go in for long lines of apologies, so I cut her off. "Go back to bed," I instructed her. The winds seemed to bring down the forge in her memory, and she must have remembered how she came to be so close to me in proximity. "I am hungry." She confessed under her breath. It was so small that I might have not been able to pick the words up if I wasn't a werewolf. I quickly mind-linked the kitchen head to get some food for Evie. When that was out of the way, I quickly
Miss Kardashian's POV I watched as the man who had done nothing but adored me walked out of the cell where he commanded I be kept without even as much as a backward glance in my direction. When he first ordered for me to be taken to cell through the mind link -after making sure the voice reverberated in my head, so I would have no doubt he ordered it- I thought that he might be out of his head. It was either that or to safely assumed that Evie and that man called River had performed some kind of magical spell that turned the heart of Alpha Damon all of the sudden. That was the only viable excuse I could make for the man as I sat in the prison, awaiting his impending arrival. But to hear and see him still act the same way toward me, I was convinced that his senses were no longer working. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the mind to threaten me. A whole Miss Kardashian. That too, in front of the two worthless guards. Speaking of guards, my eyes darted to the two who still had their back
Evie's POV Someone was chasing me! Chasing me hard, with no hope of them backing away from me no matter how hard I ran! And run I did, not willing to let myself be caught by whoever the force was. I continued to run until I got to the end of the street, where there was nowhere else to run or hide. The figure chasing me got to where I was and gave an eerie laugh. I shivered from the negative aura coming from the person. "Today is the day you die!" The voice yelled at me. I tried to look at the person to see if it was someone I knew, but the cloak covering the face made it entirely impossible. I couldn't recognize the voice either because it seemed to be distorted by some kind of force. The figure turned into a wolf before my eyes, and I staggered backward. Not because it was a wolf, but because the wolf was looking like a half-human and half-monster. The only way to tell that it was in its wolf firm was the black fur covering the body. I could feel the air of vengeance surrounding
Damon's POV "What happened to your back?" I heard the woman I thought was still fast asleep ask me. I pulled the shirt over my back to hide the horrendous scar I knew must be freaking her out. When I turned around to look at her, she was biting her lower lips, feeling weary that she had crossed the boundary by asking that question. And yes, she had. I remembered having a guard whipped because he asked me the same question that she just did. Somehow though, I didn't feel the urge to get angry with her. I even felt relieved that she cared a little about me, enough to know what had happened to me.But I knew I wasn't ready to let go of the secret that had lived with me ever since I was fifteen years old. If anything, I wanted to forget it and pretend that it never happened in the first place. When she wouldn't stop chewing her lips though, I sighed, wondering when she was going to lose her fear of me."Don't worry. I'll tell you what happened some other time," I told her. Her relief was
