Moonlit Dception

Chapter Four

Lyla's POV

I turn around to gaze at the culprit himself, the selfish and manipulative mastermind behind all of this.

The most ruthless Alpha ever known to exist, Alpha Damon. He stands there looking effortlessly gorgeous in a plain black hoodie and a pair of black joggers clad to his long legs.

His dark hair falls over his face covering half of his left eye. His piercing green eyes stare right into my baby blue eyes. Damon's face is expressionless so I can not tell what he is thinking but I know he is up to no good.

"I can see you still have eyes for me." Damon smirks cockily. I scoff and shake my head at his pride, he must think he is the most gorgeous person to live on the planet, he had better think again.

"You think that is why I am here to see you? Because I missed your gorgeous face?" I pause to choke out a bitter laughter and shake my head in disdain at him. "I came here to settle a deal." I snap at him.

Damon rolls his eyes, a bored look appears on his face. He slowly walks towards me and instructs me to follow him from behind. I nod my head in agreement and follow him but before I step into the pack house, I decide to shove my middle finger in the faces of those annoying guards.

The pack house is surprisingly quiet, there is absolutely no sight of anybody around. I scrunch my brows in confusion and look around hoping to at least find one person but not a single sight of anyone. Just I and Damon make our way into the hallways.

Damon leads me up the stairs but I freeze right there and gaze at him with a raised brow when i notice that there are no guards behind us. It is just us and I think it is a little too dangerous to be alone in such a big place with Damon. I mean, what if he tries to harm me? Or do worse?

"What? You said needed to talk." Damon turns to raise both his brows at me in a questioning look.

"Well, I said we should talk but I do not understand why we can not talk downstairs or at least in the hallways." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"I would rather talk in my room, if you are not okay with that then I suggest you leave." Damon says walking up the stairs. An awkward silence falls and I grit my teeth at how arrogant Damon is. He is lucky I need him for something or else, I would have insulted him and turned back.

I release a heavy sigh and scurry towards him before I lose sight of him.

We finally come to a stop in front of a small door, Damon pushes the door open and ushers me inside. The room is twice the size of my sitting room, there is a king-sized bed by the corner and a large wooden wardrobe. The bedside table is at the end corner with a lamp on it and some books. Damon reads? I hold the urge in me not to burst into laughter. He probably reads the worse books ever.

Damon sluggishly drags his feet towards his bed, he settles down and taps the bed for me to join him but I shake in disagreement. I would rather not.

"I like standing." I blurt out. Damon shrugs in response, he gestures me to go ahead and start talking.

"So, i heard my parents are owing you some sort of huge debt." I say. Damon's eyes widens open and he nods his head slowly. "Oh, that? You want to talk about that with me?" He asks.

"Yes, what else were you thinking?" I scrunch my brows in confusion.

"Nothing nothing at all, go ahead, the floor is all yours." Damon pauses to clap dramatically. "Oh and yes to answer your question, your parents owe me a huge amount of money."

"Why did you borrow them such a huge amount of money in the first place? I mean Damon, you and I both know that my parents are broke. You knew they would never be able to settle such huge debt so why did you still go ahead to borrow them?" I yell at him in anger.

Damon's face scrunches into a frown, he clears his throat and says "First of all Lyla, mind the tone you use on me, second of all, how was I supposed to know your parents would not be able to settle their debt? They looked really desperate for money and all I did was help them because they are your parents. Should you not be grateful to me that I at least helped your parents in their time of need?" Damon snaps at me.

I scoff and shake my head at him, time of need my foot. Can he even hear himself? I run a hand through my hair in frustration and mumble a cuss under my breath.

"Damon, you are such a big liar. You did not help them because you are some good Samaritan or something. You helped them because you wanted to see if they could actually settle you back, you wanted to torment them just how you tormented me." I say through gritted teeth.

Damon sighs, he rubs his temple and says "Lyla, I do not care if you believe me or not but all I know is that I sincerely helped them because I wanted to, not because of some manipulative or psychotic reason."

"Then why do you want them to pay you back? I mean, even if they do not pay you back. I know that would not affect you, not even the slightest bit because you probably have all the money in the world to last you throughout your days on earth." I say.

"So what are you trying to say Lyla? Where are you driving at? That i let go off the money your parents owe me?" Damon asks with a huge scowl on his face. I nod my head and flash him pleading eyes.

"Yes." I pause to mumble. "Please."

"Hell no!" Damon yells rising to his feet. I am surprised by his sudden outburst. I mean, he seemed to be keeping it cool all these while. What is with the sudden outburst?

"Calm down Damon, we can reason things. Please." I plead. I am on the verge of going on my knees and pleading to Damon to please let go off the money but the last thing I would ever do is marry such a ruthless and self centered man like him.

"Calm down? Lyla, I am completely calm. You are clearly the one here trying to mess things up. Your parents owe me money, I want my money. It is that simple!" Damon yells at me.

He walks towards me and freezes right in front of me. I stagger a few steps backward until there is no longer any space for me to move. I hit my back against the wall and Damon pins me to the wall. He stares into my eyes and i can see anger in it. What is wrong with him though? Is there more to this debt that I do not know?

"Unless there is something else that you and your parents have to offer to me? I would gladly receive it." Damon whispers softly into my ears with a smirk playing on his lips.

I breath heavily and my entire body shakes at the warmth coming from Damon's body on mine. I bite my lower lip and mumble "We have absolutely nothing to offer to you but do not worry Damon, we will get your money." I say feigning confidence even though I know it is almost impossible to get his money back.

"How? How do you and your poor parents plan to do that Lyla?" Damon whispers in my ears. I have another plan in my mind. I do not plan to return Damon's money back but since my Plan A did not work. Plan B should.

"Just wait and see." I mumble. Damon bursts into laughter, his entire body vibrates sending a tingling feeling down my stomach.

"You know Lyla, I can be bribed by something else. If you and your parents are willing to offer something else to me then I would gladly let go off my money." Damon says.

I know what he wants, I can tell just by looking at his eyes.

"What do you want?" I choose to play dumb.

"You." Damon deadpans.
