Hidden Secrets

Chapter 15: Think Before You Speak

Stella's POV

You know I have this really bad habit of opening my big mouth and saying things that I'm not supposed to. I really didn't know that finding a mate during a lunar eclipse is a big deal. You have to remember I taught myself a lot of things and only learned so much at the Blood Howlers. Right when I said that his father dragged us to his office.

"Did I say something that I wasn't supposed to?" I whispered to Damon

"Ummm, kind of, I was going to tell just my father in his office away from everyone but I guess your way is quicker," He replied, "Just let me do the talking from now on," I stared at Damon with confusion and looked back in front of us his father still rushing us to follow him.

When we stopped we came upon a set of dark oak doors sliping us inside and he shut them immediately after we walked past them into an office.

"Are you sure that is what happened?" he said making his way to his desk

"Yes, I don't know what happened but Sophia and Stefano said that the prophecy was becoming true, and we were the first sign," Damon said,

"Who is Stefano and Sophia?" His dad asked, slumping into his chair.

"They are my adoptive guardians, well it's complicated, but…” I was going to continue but I felt Damon’s eyes on me, “ I'll just shut up now,"

"Like Stella said, they are her adoptive guardians and are witches. When I first saw Stella the moon was red and the sky was filled with shooting stars. I, of course, was more consumed by Stella cause she passed out, but by the time I calmed down I noticed the new mark on my stomach," Damon said lifting up his shirt showing his mark to his father, he quickly came up looking at his mark

"s**t, this changes things, but she is human does she know about us,"

"Um, I'm rig..."

"Yes, she was raised by a pack,"

"Hmm, how does she know, we need someone to train her,"

"Excuse me, I can ..."

"She was raised by a pack, and I can.."

"I'M RIGHT HERE! SO BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! I CAN ANSWER FOR MYSELF!" I yelled I could feel River trying to take control why did they think humans are so weak? that I was weak, "I know everything, when I was 9 the Blood Howlers pack found me, and took me in, I learned everything about werewolves from them and even if I'm not a werewolf I was trained by them… in a way, but mainly by Stefano. So I CAN protect myself and can you all stop treating me like I'm an i***t!" I tried to keep my voice under control as it was very apparent that I was getting tired of their s**t. I kept my eyes shut cause I could feel River right on the edge which also meant my eyes weren't the normal two tone colors, but just one. I took a deep breath regaining my control and reopened my eyes to see a shocked old man and a shocked Damon,

"My name, by the way, is Stella Whitewater, now if you excuse me I'm going to leave before I give you another piece of my mind, Mister Johnathan Windcrest, Thank you for your f*****g time," I said angrily slamming the door behind me.

I didn't want to run out cause that felt like I was running away from everything which I'm not so I did the next best thing. I b***h walked out of there and with my head held high I didn't know where I was going, this place is a f*****g maze but I know I didn't want to stay in that room. I let my senses take over and I can feel the outside and smell the wind so I head in that direction but I'm stopped by Damon holding my arm.

"I swear to god Damon if you don't let me go I'll show exactly what I'm capable of," I said, turning around looking right at his hand then up at his face which is very angry.

"Do you know how you made me look back there? I want you to apologize to him or I'll show you what I'M capable of," He said but I only shook my head trying to pull my arm away

"Do you know how you made me feel back there Damon, You made me feel insignificant like you were better than me, I’ll have you know humans are just as strong as you so called werewolves if not stronger. But I won’t stand there and have you insult me to your father just because you can’t grow a backbone" I pull harder from his hold and I look right into his eyes, “I will repeat this only once, You don’t get to make choices for me,”

"I don't know you either Damon, but if that little f*****g incounter was what this little life looks like I won’t be part of it. I don’t owe you or your father any type of an apology. Treat me like that again and I walk out that f*****g door,”

Damon's face was twisted with anger, I guess I hit the right buttons cause he pulled my arm again leading me down another hallway.

We walk through a set of doors into a gym or training area, and everyone in there looks right at us. "You want a fight little star, then fine let's fight you go change and I'll meet you right here," Damon said being very serious

Damon went over to the men's locker room to change, but I went over to the lost and found. If they haven’t claimed anything then I guess it's fine if I take them. I found a pair of black workout shorts with a neon orange sports bra. I walked into the locker room sighing and stripping out of the dress and the pretty underwear I was wearing. Tying my hair up into a ponytail I walked back out into the gym. I saw that Damon was already there and looking fine as hell. I walked out onto the mat ready to put Damon in his place.

"If you win I'll apologize to you, but if I win, which I will, then you apologize to my father," I nodded content with the agreement, "Ready to lose, little star?" He said with a smirk

"Oh it's going to be the other way around, little s**t," I didn't really notice it till now but a lot of people had gathered around the mat cheering for their little alpha to beat a humans ass.

Would it be considered cheating if we used some werewolf strength?

I mean I don't think so it's only fair

So are we okay for a little bit of fun?

oh yes lets put him in place

I could feel River jump with joy which was nice to have her on the same page. Plus I haven’t been able to really let her out for months now, maybe this will release some pressure within.

We walk over to the middle of the mat and shake hands to be good sports. We take our fighting stance and I wait for him to make a move, I can see his body shift and he makes the first move. He comes right at me and I know that he has all of his weight on him which I move to the side to get ready to sweep kick his legs but he just leaps right over my legs.

He turns around and smirks quickly. I wait again for him to make the first move. We go back and forth between punches and blocks, I finally get a grasp on his wrist pulling his body weight down and bring my knee up to meet his face. He staggers back holding his now bleeding nose and he loses his thought process and just goes at me with anger. I use this to my advantage and grab a hold of his arm swinging his whole body over me and doing an awesome flip for effects and land right on him

"Uncle?" I say right into his ear

"I don't think so, little star," He then suddenly flips his body weight over so now I'm on the bottom and he traps my arms. I suddenly feel all his weight on me,

"Uncle little star?" he says leaning in only inches away from my face

"Hell No it's over when I say it's over," I whip my head forward and headbutt him. I feel his hand loosen and I slip out of his grip swinging my body over his and locking my arms around his throat tightening them making sure he can't escape.

"You know the magic words, Damon," He just taps my body twice and I let go smiling from ear to ear.

"I didn't know you could fight like that," Damon said rubbing his throat

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me," I say catching my breath, it was silent all around the mat and I stare at Damon as my chest rises and falls

"I'm sorry, Little star, I treated you that way," Damon said making his way toward me but was stopped when he was tackled yet again. Instead of one of his brother, which I would have preferred, but is a large ass, small boobed red haired bitch

"Damon Sweety I didn't know you were back," she cuddled right into his arms, which I didn't like; I may have a love-hate relationship with this man but he is still mine.

"Excuse me, can I help you?" I angrily said

"Yes you can get me some water for my man and some lemonade for me," She ordered, which ticked me off. What am I back at the Blood Howlers?

"Sure, would you like a can of ass whoop on the side?" I said surprising myself and Damon

"Excuse me, you can't talk to the future queen like that," Damon was about to jump in but I only stopped him by punching her in the face with some added werewolf strength and knocked her on her ass. I could feel the crunch of her nose and her consciousness was going in and out but she wasn't completely out

"Stay the f**k away from me and my mate... w***e,"

"Your mate?! You b***h you broke my nose! I'm going to kill you!" She said rushing up and changing right into her wolf form her eyes were black and her growls were deep, but right when she was about to charge at me Damon raced right in and pinned her to the ground.

"THAT IS ENOUGH TRIXY!" his alpha tone very clear, Trixy's eyes slowly changed back to a yellow color and her wolf form gave away. Damon gave her a towel to cover herself seeing as she ripped all of her clothes.

"Damon sweety why didn't you just let me kill it? she insulted me and your future luna,"

"OH HELL NO!" I raced up to her but Damon stopped me, either he thought I wasn't strong enough or she wasn't strong enough.

"Trixy you are just a plaything whenever I needed a good f**k, this here is Stella Whitewater my mate, I will not tolerate any disrespect that you show her. She is now part of the pack and she is part of me as we have already marked each other,"

Trixy looked to his neck where a mark should normally be but when she looked at me she saw the side of my stomach. She didn't question him any further she just bowed her head and spit blood right at my feet

"I refuse to accept a human in one of our ranks," She said looking right at me and I just saw red. I don't know what came over me but I just needed one final say in this. I brushed off Damon like he was nothing and ran right over to her.

I grabbed her neck and gripped it hard, "Listen here, I may be just human but I broke your nose, just makes me wonder what else I can break. If you come anywhere near Damon or me I will personally show you what I can really do. HE. IS. MINE." I said dropping her Damon finally getting a good grip on me and dragging me out of the room and down a hallway. When we were far enough away from everyone he pinned me up against the wall and before I could say anything his lips were on mine.

Right, when his lips touched mine I felt the fire on my lips that only traveled further down my body. I tried to push him off but I didn't have the strength to so I gave in. The kisses were rough and it was almost like he was claiming me right then and there. After a couple of minutes, he stopped resting his forehead on mine. Both of us are trying to gulp down air.

"You said I was yours,"

"... I umm... Nice weather?" I said and we both laughed for a second. “Also I’m still pissed at you from before,”

*So you finally see that he is your mate?

River?

*No, I'm the other beast
