Secrets Of A Scorned Woman

Uncertainty

“Lily, are you even listening?” Damien asks, annoyed with my zoning out. 

“Sorry had a moment with all this craziness. My wolf is completely stressed out.” I think of the best excuse as I look at Leo. I use my head to dismiss them. They leave worry filling their eyes as they look back at Damien.

“I said who is that?” He inquires of the two wolves who just left. So I tell him what he needs to know and no more, at least till I find out why he was recognized by my guard.

“Oh okay that’s smart, make them your guards, what about Malcolm?” he asks in a dismissive tone. 

“Sent 2 to watch him no worries I got this' ' I was dismissive with him and he sensed it but instead of asking me why he just looked at  me with sadness before turning away and leaving. “Mam we will take care of all services for your mate and anything else you may need.”

“He was my husband, we didn't care about the werewolf culture so please refrain from using anything to do with it in the services we were and still are humans.” Her voice made my body shiver. It was filled with so much hate that it scared me. A Lot of things seem to be doing that lately and I intend to put a stop to it.

I decide to head to the hospital to check on Malcolm, as I walk into his room I am hit with an unbearable pain. My lungs release a blood curdling scream before the doctor rushes inside. 

“What is happening?” I ask him and he just looks bewildered as I lay on the floor with tears staining my cheeks. He asks the nurses to drag me out of there as anytime they tried lifting me I would scream once again. 

“I don’t know, Lily seems like there is some kind of hex in the room that only applies to you.” That is when it starts to click the witch that attacked the patrol guard must have been here to do this. But why? Unless it has something to do with making our bond weaker or finally snapping it the wrong way. Jaz said if they prevailed my life force would slowly but surely fade away. I have got to figure out what the hell is going on and who the hell black night is as well as why he wants me dead? Finally realizing I need some answers to at least some of my unanswered questions I head towards Damien’s place. Maybe he can explain what the hell his scent was doing at the rogue camp, especially right before being attacked. I knocked rather harshly on his Victorian style door rapidly, waiting for him to answer. I admire his home. It was all Victorian style making it feel so old timey to me but it was still very beautiful with the black and red colors that mix together so well. Before I could notice small details the door opens and before me stands a f*****g god as he is in nothing but a towel. My core instantly starts to heat up and my face turns into a tomato while my horny wolf licks her lips. 

“You ok there Lils?” His voice heavy with amusement matching his eyes as he looks at me over. He shakes his head and asks me to follow him inside As he instructs me to wait in the kitchen I silently thank him, knowing if he didn't get dressed I may do something I would possibly regret later. While I wait I grab his kettle and fill it with water before setting it back on the burner. Grabbing his box of teas I look through it for one of my favorites but instead go with using two. One a hibiscus blossom along with a raspberry and cherry blossom, weird I know but I love them mixed together plus it makes it super strong just how I like it. Grabbing two cups I make mine first then Damien’s, he likes his any flavor so I randomly pull out an earl grey and put it in his mug.

“Tea? What’s the occasion that I get to share tea with the lovely Lily?” His voice is so deep and comforting I fake a smile knowing that what I’m about to say will break his heart.

“Damien, why did one of the rogues that I just accepted smell your scent at the base camp the night before the attack?” Deciding to rip off the band aid I rush out the words before I can back out. The look on his face tells me everything I needed to know or so I thought. Getting up with tears in my eyes I turn to leave but I'm stopped by the tingles from his hand. 

"I can explain '' he looks at me pleading with me to hear him out so I sit beside him this time waiting to hear him out. I nod for him to go ahead. "The day before I received a letter in the mailbox it was unmarked and not stamped, as I read it I was terrified. '' He got up going towards a drawer in the living room, reaching into it he pulled out just what he said a letter then he handed it to me. I read it and my breath hitches in my throat, it was a ransom letter of some sort. It said that if he didn't come to the address listed I would be killed before nightfall. Before I can say anything he continues, “I couldn’t let that happen so I went and when I got there they tried to capture me but didn’t succeed as I was prepared for it. Whooping ass and trying to get answers from the 3 rogues that had brought me to the compound from our meeting area, when they decided to not tell me anything I killed them and searched the empty tents before leaving. It was like they had expected to capture me so they sent everyone away or something, the next day we got attacked. I swear to you Lily that is all that happened, I would never do anything to hurt you or this pack.” His body is relaxed as he tells me his story, his eyes never leave mine and it was at that moment my will power broke, uncertainty ran through me as I reached over to him my wolf howling in response. He instantly reacted to my hand as the tingles spread through my thigh from his hand being placed there. What was I about to do...
