Damon POV:
It was nighttime now and I couldn’t stop thinking about her, as I paced around in my bedroom. I wondered if she was, ok? If she was in any pain? The desire to be near her, to touch her, was so intense, it made my skin ache. The bond was driving me and my wolf mad! I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to check on her.
I walked over to the adjoining door and quietly opened it, slipping into her bedroom. She was sound asleep, she looked so beautiful and peaceful. She was wearing a small, white robe and the moon shined in slightly, capturing her perfect body for me to see. I wanted more than anything to just rip that robe off her, then kiss and lick every inch of her body, giving her orgasm, after orgasm, as I f****d her into oblivion. But I was going to behave or at least try my hardest to.
I walked closer to her and just stared down at her, playing with a small piece of her hair. I walked over to the other side of the bed and gently climbed in next to her, touching her ever so lightly, so I didn’t wake her. Within minutes, I was out.
I woke to the sun coming in and realized, I was still in bed with her. s**t! I quickly bolted from the room, before she woke up and caught me.
After I returned to my room, I jumped in the shower, wanting to rid myself of her scent, hoping that if I did, I would be able to get through the day without going insane.
I went to my office and called for my Beta, Luca, to come in.
He strode in, like the jackass he is “You rang, Alpha?” He smirked.
I pinched the bridge of my nose “Seriously? Cut the s**t Luca.” I growled at him, not in the mood for his games.
He rolled his eyes and flopped in the chair opposite my desk “Whatever!” He said in a childlike manner “What would you like Damon? Better?” He arched an eyebrow.
This man drives me f*****g insane. If he weren’t my best friend, I would have killed him long ago.
I sighed “The girl you captured yesterday, has been moved into the bedroom next to mine.” I said, acting like it was no big deal.
He tilted his head to the side “Yes, I’m aware. Meant to ask you about that. Why the f**k, is she in the pack house Damon?” He raised his voice slightly with his last words.
I stood to my feet, growling at him “Watch your f*****g tone.”
He raised his hands in surrender “Calm down d**k head. People are asking questions and want to know why; a prisoner, is now residing within the pack walls and so do I?” He crossed his arms across his chest.
I sat back down and sucked in a deep breathe “She’s, my mate.”
His eyes widened “You have got to be f*****g joking me! She’s a human Damon.” He shouted.
I threw my hands in the air in frustration “You don’t think I know that, Luca! But I can’t let her go and I can’t reject her, the pull is too f*****g strong. I don’t know what the f**k to do and I had her moved here, because yesterday, I went to go check on her and found Jordan assaulting her! He beat her and almost r***d her.” My body began to tremble with anger at the memory “I want her close to me, so I can watch over her better, until I can figure out what to do about her.”
His expression changed from anger to sympathy “Holy f**k man! I’m sorry about Jordan. That little f**k will pay for what he did! And I don’t know what to tell you man, you know me, I have nothing against humans, mostly, but I know your dad will never allow for you to mate with her, he despises humans.” He ran his fingers through his hair “I don’t envy you right now man.” He chuckled lightly, the f*****g d**k!
“Thanks for the vote of confidence.” I glared at him “She can’t stay here for long or dad will find out and I can’t mate with her or he will kill us both, I’m completely f****d!” I slammed my fists down on my desk, cracking the wood upon impact.
Luca sighed heavily “I’ll take care of the others, so no suspicions arise and the questions are answered, just enough to keep the whispers to a dull minimum. But Damon, you have to deal with this and fast, there are people within the pack that are very loyal to your father and won’t hesitate to inform him of what’s going on.”
I rubbed my hands down my face “I know, I’ll figure s**t out, one way or another.” I wasn’t sure how I was going to figure this out or what exactly I was going to do, but I had to do something before my father found out and tries to harm her, because I would fight him to the death, if he dared to hurt her. Luca nodded hesitantly and then left the room.
After my talk with Luca, I went to the laundry room and grabbed Amelia some clean clothes, remembering hers were destroyed and brought them up to her room. I walked into the room and froze in my tracks. She was laying there on the bed reading, still wearing that f*****g robe and it was partially open, revealing those supple, perky breasts of hers. I couldn’t move or speak, the urge to take her and make her mine was consuming me. She gasped, finally realizing that I was in the room with her.
“Omg, you scared me.” She said, her hand resting on her chest.
I just stood there, completely lost in the sight before me, low growls vibrated from my chest, indicating my wolf was on the surface and wanting to come out. Her brows scrunched together in confusion, she looked down at herself and noticed that she was exposed and quickly covered herself up.
I gave my head a shake, to clear my thoughts “I brought you some clean clothes and breakfast will be brought up to you shortly.” I tried to say as casual as possible, while also trying to stay composed, but the ever-growing bulge in my pants was making that difficult.
“Thank you…sorry, I don’t know your name.” She admitted, a little embarrassed and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
I clenched my fists together, trying to fight the urges “Damon.” I said shortly, as my composure was slipping, fast!
“Thank you, Damon.” She gave me a sweet smile and I closed my eyes, trying to keep my s**t together.
I inhaled and exhaled slowly, focusing on my breathing “How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?” I asked, trying to distract myself.
“I’m fine and no.” She said, as she shook her head. But I could tell she was in pain; I could smell it and I could feel her pain. She is either being modest or stubborn.
“Good. If you need anything, let me know.” I needed to get out of this room and away from her, before something happened.
She nodded and pursed her lips “Will do.”
I paused at the door and looked back at her, that was an odd response! And her heart skipped a beat when she said that, is she hiding something? Or planning something?
After leaving her room, I went straight into mine and had the worlds coldest shower!
Amelia POV:
I woke to the sound of someone knocking on my door, I looked around and noticed it was now evening and the sun was starting to go down. Anna entered the room with another tray of food.
“Hello dearie, I brought you, your dinner. I had brought you lunch as well, but noticed you were sleeping and I didn’t want to bother you. So, I brought up a little extra for you to eat.” She said with a wink.
“Thank you so much, Anna. I really appreciate you doing that for me.” I genuinely smiled at her. She was such a sweet woman and I couldn’t begin to comprehend why she worked here.
She set the tray down on the table next to my bed “Is there anything else you need?”
I shook my head “No, I am fine. Thank you.” In some ways, Anna reminded me of my mother, making me miss her even more.
Anna nodded her head and left the room, closing and locking the door behind her.
I was thankful she had brought me extra to eat, I’ll need all the energy I can get for tonight. After I had finished eating, I walked over to the window and observed my surroundings, trying to see if I could spot anything I would recognize. I had studied the map for Killarney park, quite a bit.
I noticed a clearing at the edge of the property, but seemed to become a bit dense further in, which would be good to conceal myself in. Within the far distance, I spotted the Killarney Crack and the clearing I had just noticed, seemed to be a straight shot to it. The only thing that is going to be a bit tricky, is I don’t have any of my gear, which could cause a big problem for me, but I have to do this, gear or not.
I browsed the room for anything I could take with me that might be useful, but the room was damn near empty, aside from the furniture. I bent down to rummage through the one dresser, when I heard a loud, growl come from behind me, startling me.
I jumped and turned around, only to find Damon in my room once again “f**k! You have got to stop scaring me like that.” I chuckled a bit.
He didn’t say anything, just walked closer to me and with each step he took, I took a step back. He seemed off, his eyes looked so entranced and almost pitch black. My back collided with the wall and he was now mere inches from me. He raised his hand and brushed my hair away from my face, then traced his finger down my face and across my lips, as he stared into my eyes.
My breathe hitched, as tingles shot down my body and straight to my core. This man could make me have an orgasm with just a simple expression and I think that was one of the things that scared me the most about him, my attraction to him, the cravings I felt for him.
I swallowed hard “Can I help you with something.” I asked, my voice a bit shaky.
He grinned mischievously “I can think of a few things.” He said, low and huskily.
His eyes were dark now, but also held a playfulness to them and his grin deepened. My thighs squeezed together, tightly and my p***y began to throb with need “What’s that?” I asked and my heart started to pound in my chest, from being anxious and excited. Was he flirting with me? Is he as turned on as I am? His hand came up and cupped my face, then slid his fingers into my hair, holding my head firmly in place now. He bent his head down slightly, bringing his face closer to mine. My breathing quickened and the anticipation was killing me. He stopped suddenly, our lips so close, yet so far.
Damon zoned out for a beat and then looked away from me, closing his eyes tightly. He took a step back, removing his hand from my hair and breathed in deeply “I just came in to see how you are doing and if there is anything you need?” His tone was clipped and strained.
I was confused now, it seemed as though he was going to kiss me, but something has changed suddenly “I’m doing good, thank you and no, I’m fine.” Was that really the reason he came into my room? I didn’t understand how he could be so hot one minute and the next minute so cold.
“Good.” He smiled down at me. It wasn’t until this moment, that I realized just how much taller he was than me, as I craned my neck up to look at him.
He bent down and kissed my cheek, his lips lingering there for a moment. My eyes widened and shock took over me, as my body stilled. He surprised me with this, especially after the emotions he gave off just seconds ago.
“Good night, Amelia.” He smiled and then left the room.
That was bizarre, why did he kiss my cheek? He was nothing but an asshole before when I was in the cell and now, he is being all sweet and concerning. Maybe he is just trying to butter me up, so I don’t have his ass thrown in jail for kidnapping me.
I shook my head of those thoughts and that moment with him and began to mentally prepare myself for the journey ahead.
