The Pack Surgeon

Chapter 5

Amelia POV



I would not lie to myself but sometimes I just think I should act like someone strong. Though I want to watch over Damine’s health and recovery before I return to the Darkmoon pack but I don’t think I should show it. I love to be difficult to catch and I wouldn’t want to appear weak. It’s not just me who feels this way, it’s all women. Even though I love Alpha Damine I just don’t want to jump into things.

I folded my hands in my car waiting for Lucas’s reply. I just prayed he wouldn’t tell me to leave because I felt like staying. But the one fear I had was Luna Ava. She seemed like someone who controlled the pack not acting like a Luna at all, no sympathy or feeling. I didn’t think she would like me. Even if I wanted to stay in this pack I would need her approval first.

I rested my head on the wheel. After some minutes a strange hand tapped me and I jerked awake from my sleep. Before I knew it, raising my head someone had entered the car seat beside me, it was Alpha Damine.

I felt scared at first because he was still in the healing process and it was very dangerous for him not to receive his full medication.

“Alpha Damine are you okay?, Don’t tell me you’re here because of me? No, no, I’m not that hard to get. It’s just that Luna Ava asked me to leave. I should have stayed with you until you were healed.”

“Of course yes I’m here because of you Amelia. My beta told me you were insisting on returning to the Darkmoon pack.”

“Yes I was still thinking about it. Not that I’m sure just…”

“Just what?” he said cutting me off. I felt a pause from my mouth to my nerves. Was he being too hard on me? But I tried to calm myself down. His voice just sounded cold now.

“I’m sorry that I shouted at you. he said , thank goddess that he know. “It’s just that I care about you, not just that but because of our mating bond” he said. This time I had calmed myself down.

Does he know about the mating bond? Does he feel it? Isn’t Luna Ava his mate? All these questions lingered in my head as if I were an immature wolf even though I had just turned twenty-eight. It’s just that I didn’t grow up in the packs.

“Yes Amelia I know about the mate bond. I feel it too. My wolf was even excited to see you after fifteen years of waiting. And for the other question Luna Ava is not my mate, it’s just a marriage.”

How did he read my mind? Damn he knew what I was thinking about. I stopped thinking and focused on him. When he was talking I couldn’t pay much attention to his words but was watching his movements and how handsome he was.

“I’m sorry Alpha for stressing you here. We can go back to the hospital room now and rest. You still need to relax for twenty-four hours for your system to get back in place. We can talk about this later Alpha. What about that?” determine to switch the topic not this time to talk about this, no, because i dont even know what to say.

“You mean later? I don’t think this needs to be postponed. We can finalize it now. I just want to tell you that we accept you as our mate” he said. I kept watching his mouth but ami snapped me out of my thoughts. She was very happy and I could feel how she was interacting with Damine’s wolf. But for me I wasn’t ready for any mate now.

“Alpha” I said because the remaining words couldn’t escape my mouth. I just paused speechless.

“Call me Damine. You are my mate. We are equals” he cut me off.

“Okay okay Alpha Damine. I’m not ready to mate for now. I still need to save my mother and focus on my career. That’s what fills my head now.” As those words escaped my mouth I felt disappointed. My wolf growled but this time in disappointment. My wolf had already told me he would accept us but this wasn’t the best time for me.

My aim for leaving the human world was to save my mother not to find my mate. “I’m sorry. Just accept me this way.”

“I reject you as my mate Alpha Damine” I said above a whisper but the words couldn’t fully escape my mouth. I watched his face, it was cold. Even though he wasn’t fully healthy I could already see the anger in him and that made me scared of his response.

What would he say? Would he just accept my rejection and move on? I couldn’t even read what was written all over his face but it felt like an interpretation of anger, power and domination.
