The Supreme Alpha

I'm here...

Damien's POV

I couldn't bare to see my mate so distraught by the mere mention of a name. I didn't know who the hell he was but I promised myself that I would kill that bastard for hurting her and grey growled in approval. I gently squeezed her shoulder reassuring her that she was safe from all the darkness that scares her. She lifted her face to let her teary eyes meet mine and a small smile cracked on her rosy lips. 'Wooow her smile never seizes to blow my mind' I thought. Taking a deep breath and Wiping away her tears she turned to James and said, " Have all our staff clear off any clues we might have left behind and make sure the medicine is created strong enough to hold for atleast a week. I am done hiding in the shadows and if it really comes down to war make sure you follow the plan through. Im not letting him ruin our lives again. I'll face him off if needed but never again will I hide nor will I let him hurt my family! "in a commanding tone although I noticed a slight shiver in her voice. " Are you nuts?!!! You remember well what happened the last time you wanted to face him! He is dangerous and there won't be a second chance for you like I did! I found a way back to you not to just lose you again cuz of YOUR foolishness!! ", roared James with tears in his eyes. Grey wanted to break the asshole's neck into pieces for shouting on our mated but i held him back knowing well that he was only worried for her. " Fine! I will go into hiding for a week to throw him off my trail but not a day more.", she answered. "I will live my life just like all the others and not hiding in underground bunkers just to protect myself...", replied Selena with a defeated look on her face almost begging James to understand. Understanding her decision, " Fine! At least you are willing to protect yourself and not go diving into trouble. But.... Promise me moony, you'll keep me company in this long life till death greets either of us.. ", begged james with his face hung down hiding his tears. The stubborn look on her face softened as she made her way to him and hugged him. " Shhhh.... Don't worry.... I ain't going anywhere. You are literally the only family I had and I was to you since our childhood. So im not turning my back on family, not now not ever. ", Selena consoled him while wiping away his tears. Amber stepped up to give him the much needed hug and as much as we were jealous of James we knew that all he needed now was the company of his mate and support from my mine. Stepping away from him, Selena came to my side and tugged on my arm to go back inside the house as it was getting cold outside. We felt so proud of her and also saw that although her gestures and words made her look strong she was breaking inside even if she was trying her hardest behind that brave face she put up. I escorted her back in and all the others followed us. Back in the kitchen, mom had outdone herself with fruit and berry pancakes along with poached eggs and a bowl of fruit salad. Knowing my mom's culinary skills I was sure the pancakes were none other than her special recipe for which she was popular in the pack and whose taste is truly out of this world. I helped Selena settle down at the table after which I sat on the chair right next to her and watched my mom dote on her like she used to on my sister. This sight really warmed my heart and seeing how she was getting along with everyone I felt proud of my mate. 

After the heart warming breakfast with my family, I took Selena back to my room so she could rest. Settling down on the bed, I grabbed a glass of water from the night table for Selena. But as I faced her, I saw the fair eyes of my mate stained with tears cascading down her cheeks. " Selena,  what is it babe? Are you alright darling? " I asked her worriedly. " I... I can't hold it in anymore..... It hurts... ", she replied with her voice breaking down as each word left her mouth. She broke into a much needed cry that threatened to choke her each time to she breathed. I enclosed her in my arms gently trying to soothe her and relieve her pain. After crying in my arms for a good one hour on my chest, her cries died down is gentler sobs and her white cheeks stained with dry tears. I decided to let her open up to me and grey without any pressure as I was sure it must have been harder for her than the both of us." I'm sorry.. ", she said breaking the comfortable silence that was settling in. We waited for her to pour out all the pain she had held on to from her heart. " I never wanted a mate... Not because I hated the bond but because I was afraid....... Afraid that you would hate me and leave me if you knew of the danger that shadows me.. ", she began explaining trying hard not to cry and break in front of us. " I can not tell you about how it all began but I want to tell you... Confess to you about the guilt that is breaking me from the inside... ", she said and awaited our response. Understanding her trust on us, I placed my plam on hers and gently squeezed reassuring her that we were her for her no matter what was hidden in her past. 

" I have powers..... Powers that make me different from others..... Powers that make me a supreme..... I had gotten so used to secretly using my abilities that I made a mistake. And James paid the price with his life. After I made the mistake, instead of finding a way out I went on to fight a person who was much stronger and more experienced than me with a childish confidence. But as soon as I entered the fight it was clear that I was no match to him with my skill. Things escalated quickly from there to a point where I was only mere moments away from death untill James dived in the Nick of time to save me. That day I had the blood of my best friend, who loved me enough to throw his own life away for mine, smeared all over me....", she said as a lone tear slid down on her cheek along the path of the previous ones. " He was human and yet he had the courage to face a vampire with bare hands for ME!!  I on the other hand faild to be brave even with my powers. I was soo weak that his words were enough to break me. I saw the only person I knew as family lay in my bloody arms on the verge of death because of ME. Some part of me died that day along with James's human soul that day..... I...... I couldn't forgive myself for being a danger to my family.....", she confessed as pain resurfaced in her heart.
