INDEPTH WITH TWO RIVALS

CHAPTER 2

Damian's visits became more frequent, and I found myself looking forward to them. I had to confront him about the frequent visit because I wasn't even pleased with it. “I'm sorry, but you should stop coming here frequently, okay? I want you to understand me; don't think it as if I'm chasing you away, but you should know what I mean,” I said.

“I don't exactly know what you mean, okay. If you don't want me to think it like you are chasing me out, then stop doing it. I'm here to stay, and I want to make you forever,” I said.

First I looked at him surprised and had to skip the expression immediately. “I am not convinced that is happening okay; I'm just a slave, and you are the next Alpha to this pack. I think you should focus more on getting the throne,” I said.

He handed over to me a gift and started to tell me stories about his life as a future Alpha King. “Talking about being the Alpha, it's the most pleasant thing that I wanted, but you should know the task of it, " Alpha Damian said.

“I don't think I know anything about royal life. I'm an introvert, and I'm ignorant of most things that happen in the pack, and that should be enough reason to you that I'm just a nobody and you should go find that woman of your stage. I would rather not make you feel like a torn to me already. Please try to understand me,” I said, my voice low and menacing. I was even ashamed of the replies I gave him. I knew it was the best opportunity for me to get rid of my lonely life, but I still understand I don't like to be hurt by the pain I'd already had enough for me. “I thought we'd gotten over this already. You should come to a conclusion with yourself because I know that you still want a taste of the relationship, but your outside self is still confusing you. You should know that I'm only in love with you because of your kind gesture, and it's obvious that we were meant to be because if that were an opposition, I would never have seen you at the fort .

“I know okay. Truly, I love you, but” I was trying to finish but was interrupted by Damian.

“But what? There is nothing to say again; just accept it and move on,” he said.

“But the fact that our chemistry can't be changed means a lot to me,” I said.

“And I've promised you with everything that there shouldn't even be any problems for you. What you should be more focused on is yourself. You should know that you need to be happy and not get washed up by your past. I wouldn't want it to be like I'm forcing you into a relationship you would rather not get into. Is this your decision? Just tell me now whether you want this to move on or not.” Damian asked.

“Actually, I don't have an answer to that, but since you have assured me that you have everything under control but accept to be your Luna, it's a great pleasure to be,” I said, my voice low. I was shy and at the same time happy. I knew this was going to change my life for good, so I had to stick to him.

I was swept off my feet by his charm and attention. Our secret meetings became more intimate, and I felt like I'd found my place in the world.

Damian's kindness and vulnerability drew me in. He'd share his fears and dreams with me, and I'd listen. I saw a side of him that few others did—a side that was gentle and caring. As our romance blossomed, I felt like I was walking on clouds.One day, as he came with his frequent visits and always with a gift with him, he seemed happy and was eager to share the good news with me. Me on the other side saw him as he smiled at me. I knew there was something behind his smiles despite him seeing me. “What's all about your expression today? You seem really happy,” I said.

“Obviously I am, and it's actually connected to you,” he said.

I smiled immediately after his words, and immediately my mind raced in thoughts of what I did that could make him happy. My mind did all the research and couldn't remember the last thing I did for him. He was the one always doing it all, and then I was to question him again. “You should be more specific; okay, I'm actually ignorant of what you are trying to say,” I said.

“I'm trying to say that I talked to my parents, and they accepted for you to come over for a visit, and after then you would get to meet everyone in the palace; you might even become one of us,” Damian said.

I was so happy to hear him say all this, but I had a mix of feelings of regret and doubts. I knew this was what I was waiting for all this long, but at the same time I also knew that it was a ton of doubts by his parents. What if they don't even like me? I think I would have to get over it from time to time. “I'm so happy to hear that you are really a man of integrity. I'm so happy to hear this news,” I said, trying to sound polite and appreciative. Damian made me feel seen and loved, and I couldn't imagine a life without him. But little did I know, our love was forbidden, and our differences would soon tear us apart. Despite the risks, I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with him.
