The next five weeks are somewhere in between heaven and hell. Damon is everything I never thought I needed in a partner and is proving to me every day that love was never supposed to be that hard. I got to know him better and with that, to like him more. I found out that he loves cats, that he had a turtoise called Speedy when he was a child, that he can’t keep a plant alive. I discovered his sense of humor, his dad jokes, that he secretly wanted to be a dancer when he was younger. But most of all, I discovered how kind, thoughtful and patient he is.It took me so long to figure out how to commune and all he did was to crack jokes from time to time so I can relax and have a laugh instead of drowning in frustration. He found out I love Tacos so he thought himself how to make them for me. He learned I love Begonias and now there’s a fresh bouquet every morning on the dining table.But at the same time, every time I am with him and I let that honeymoon type of happiness take over me, the

"You!" Diana shout with an accusatory tone as she marches towards the trees."Diana? What is going on? Who's there?" I try to ask, but she is seeing red right now."Come out, you asshole! Don't act like you have any shame to show your face!""Spicy as usual, Diana." The laughing from behind a tree comes right before a naked man steps out from the shadows. I take a step back, while looking away, surprised.He takes a step forward, towards Diana, but she steps away from him."Don't even!" She warns him and he puts his arms up."I'll be good, I'll be good. I promise! I happened to be around and hear your voice. I just wanted to see you for a bit." He explains, but that seems to only piss her off more."Oh, give me a break, Romeo. I don’t trust a thing that comes out of your mouth."Romeo? Like in that Romeo? Oh, Goddess... I really don't want to be here right now.I start to slowly walk away, while trying to maintain my eyes on the ground. I get werewolves are comfortable with nudity, bu

"The Beta has been compromised. The Luna is Beta's daughter so we can't trust that she won't act with her father. Our only option would be to convince the Alpha." Kat puts in words what we've circling around for hours. The Beta's family holds most of the important positions in the pack and now, with the Alpha in that state, the pack trusts them blindly. We are stuck."Even if we do, he lost his authority, didn't he?" Diana asks everyone, but looks directly at me. I can't help but question if I did truly ruin Axel exactly like everyone feared I’d do."Two months won't erase the years he spent as the pack's golden boy. The pack adored him. If he pulls himself together, Beta won't stand a chance in their eyes." I tell the rest, but more than that I tell myself. I need to believe the mate bond didn't destroy him."With the situation that we have, he won't listen to us. He's gone mad." Damon leans against the wall with his arms crossed."There might be someone he would listen to..." Robert

"He stays here?" I ask, hand in hand with Damon as we approach the shady-looking building in the not-so good part of the city."As you said, he apparently really cared about his pack. I think he's the only Alpha that I know that didn't have a hefty private account stashed somewhere. He left the pack with nothing. He invested everything he had back in his people only to be stabbed in the back." Damon explains while looking around to make sure Kat did a good job at distracting the guards that Beta sent to supervise his former friend. I never liked the Alpha, but even I can admit he didn't deserve this."Then how does he pay for this place?""I assume someone sends him money. Axel maybe?" Damon asks and I shrug. I doubt it's him, but that would be better than the Beta playing on both sides.I take a deep breath before we knock on the door. I am so damn nervous that I feel my heartbeat in the tip of my fingers, adrenaline pumping my veins, ready to act if it doesn't go as planned. But bef
