Damon's POV.It has been three days since I last saw that troublesome human that did nothing but brought about disruption to my life.I knew I should be happy she was finally away from my house and my life for the time being. I knew I should use the time to recuperate and rest well for when she would be back with all her fresh dose of trouble. But I couldn't do or feel any of those things. For a reason I couldn't fathom, I was growing restless about her stay at my Gamma's place. I didn't know if it was because I was worried she would get into some kind of trouble that could affect me as her mate, or because I knew just how charming the Gamma could be and he might be able to steal the heart of the woman who was supposed to be my mate.The moment the last part dropped into my mind, I shook my head to clear the thought away. It was nothing to me whether the two became a couple or not. In fact, that would make me happy as I would no longer have to worry about how to break the bond I have
Damon's POV Three pairs of eyes fixed themselves on me the moment I got into the room. Gamma Samuel cocked a disbelieving eyebrow at me. Miss Aurora gave me some kind of look that promised retribution if I was there for trouble. While Evie just turned ashen. I mentally cursed myself for allowing myself to fall for the feeling that prompted me to enter the house just like that when I could have just walked away.I cleared my throat. Knowing that there was no way I could make them think that I didn't just barge in and it was all in their imaginations."Couldn't stay away from her any longer?" Gamma Samuel asked. It felt like he was trying hard not to laugh before it was evident in his voice.I leveled my black eyes at him, but he didn't flinch. He and Beta Stephan were the only ones that never feared me no matter how deadly angry I was or how I even stared at them for so long with my black eyes. How could they anyway when we all grew up together? I could remember when I lost both of m
Evie's POV I couldn't believe that the one week the Gamma was able to get me off work was already over. Nonetheless, I was grateful for the rest and the good meals I was able to get through that one week. When I looked at myself in the mirror the day before, while I was examining my wound, I saw that I had more flesh than before. My hair also seemed more alive compared to how dull it always was.But as I walked down the corridor that would lead me back to the quarter of the Alpha where I would be resuming my hard life of labor, my feet struggled to move. My fear was understandable since I didn't know what my fate would be in the hands of the two cruel individuals that ruled the pack.After that day when I asked the Gamma if I could stay at his quarter as his servant, and he had asked for permission from the Alpha, I couldn't help but feel like a dejected soul. The Gamma had returned later that day and told me he was sorry but he couldn't harbor me."Not because I fear Alpha Damon tho
Damon's POV I quickly held the girl as she placed her hands on her ears and staggered forward. If I hadn't been fast with my reflex, I could tell that she would have hit her head on the tabletop in the kitchen. Or even worse, she could have hit her head on the ceramic plates and cups and injured herself severely.Her death didn't matter to me. But the letter I got the previous day stated that if I wanted to break the mating bond between the girl and me, then I needed to do just one thing. That one thing was the reason why I was here.My right arm hurt, and I winced in pain, nearly cursing out loud. Or maybe I did curse out loud because she let go of me instantly and shuffled backward like she was being chased. I looked at the area where I felt the pain to see what injured me there, but there was not a single scratch. When I realized that I just got into pain because of the emotion Evie was feeling, I got annoyed.Before I could take action against her, I felt a heavy pain in my chest
Damon's POV "No, no, no. Don't you dare, Evie!" I screamed at her. Whether she heard my voice or not, I couldn't tell. She didn't give any reaction whatsoever to what I said.Instead, she crooked a smile at me. Before I could tell what was going on, she walked over to where a knife was lying among the dirty dishes she was supposed to be doing. She picked up the knife and swung it in my face. Before I could dodge, the knife swiped at my face. Without touching the spot, I knew that I was nicked, especially since the place burned."Hank!" She yelled all of a sudden. "You think I wouldn't seek justice for her?" She gave a harsh laugh. "Meet your creator in hell, you demon!" Those words were another clue I had that she was truly not in her senses. Whatever it was she was feeling, she was feeling them from somewhere in her mind. I was reminded about the fact that she couldn't recollect anything about her past when I found her, and I began to wonder if what she was currently experiencing w
Damon's POV "And what exactly do you want?" I asked my Gamma who refused to leave my presence for five minutes now even after we were done with our meeting. Even though I asked him what he wanted, my attitude showed that I was not ready to listen to whatever it was that he wanted to say. Probably because I knew what he was going to start talking about."For how long are you going to lock her in there, Alpha? It's been a day already." Gamma Samuel said, confirming my thoughts. I still refused to grant him the audience, and just continued to work on the fire in front of me. My hope was that the man would take the silent clue I was giving him and just leave my presence. No such luck there because he refused to move even an inch. I sighed and dropped the pen in my hand on the file I was working on."She caused damage to the people of this pack, Samuel. If I let her off so easily, what do you think would happen to the morale of the rest of the pack members?" I asked the man.Samuel shrugg
Evie's POVThe fact that I was tied up with chains like an animal did little to nothing in disorganizing me. I didn't know if it was because it was something that I had already expected or because it was something I was used to.The only thing that was currently pissing me off was not knowing why I was tied up. I wanted to know the crime these people were accusing me of this time. But then, none of them - neither Miss Kardashian nor Alpha Damon - came over to shout at my head and ask me why I did what I did. I wouldn't be so surprised if I later found out that I had done nothing to warrant the hatred they were setting me up for.But I did do something. Somehow, I knew that I must have done something that brought this fate upon me. A part of my memory was gone. All I remembered was the time when I saw a knife, then when the Alpha ordered me to be taken to the prison. Whatever happened in between those two moments was gone from my memory like a puff, exactly the same way I could not re
Damon's POV The three of us - I, my Beta, and my Gamma - were still facing each other off, waiting for who would break the battle of stares that we had involuntarily started when someone knocked just once. Before I could give my permission for the person to come in, a guard busted in, panting and sweating as if his life depended on whatever reason made him barge in. And maybe his life did since I wouldn't be sparing him if he didn't have enough reasons to justify his action."Explain yourself right now!" My Beta shouted at the guard. Beta Stephan was known for his strict ways. I couldn't even tell who was stricter between myself and the man. "Are you deaf? Explain yourself!" Gamma Samuel shouted at the man also. I could tell that the reason for the Gamma's action was because of how he was troubled for Evie though. "I... I... Beta..." The guard stammered, taking in deep short breaths to regain his composure. "If you don't start speaking up this instant...!" I let the rest of my wor
