Alpha Damon's Mate

Chapter 13

He didn't answer. But what did I expect? That he would apologize? With me? I was nobody. Insignificant, ugly... A lot of girls would say that I didn't deserve to be around him. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize Damon got up and walked towards me. "Elise, hear me..." He wanted to put his hand on my cheek, but I slapped it away. "No, nothing 'Elise'. I'm really pissed right now and would like to be alone. So if you please at least make this wish respect" I looked at him snidely.

But he wasn't impressed by that. He grabbed me and tenderly sat me down on the bed. Damn, somehow the anger just went away. "Actually, I wanted to tell you after you told me yourself. I am sorry. I made a big mistake and I will probably never be able to make it up again. I betrayed your trust, but I still want you to know that I only did it because I was worried and scared about you. I wanted to know everything about you because you are so incredibly important to me that I couldn't wait to do it. And I'm sorry. If you want to void the deal now, I understand, but I still ask that you give me a chance."

When I looked deep into his eyes, the anger was gone somehow. The hurt. All I could see was a helpless little boy who needed me. And the one I needed. Although I couldn't presume to say that Damon needed me. "Yes," I breathed and he stared at me incredibly scared. "Yes, I'm voiding the deal." Damon whimpered. "I don't want a shitty deal, I don't want you to ask me every time you touch me, I want you to get to know Wilhelmine and I don't want only you to have to give something for me. Because you just as well deserve to be fought over." Before I knew it, Damon was picking me up and throwing me in the air. f**k drama. It's a lot easier to make up if you're not whining all the time , and let the others finish speaking.

And then... all of a sudden, Damon placed his wonderfully soft lips on mine. It was fantastic. My hand clawed at his curly black hair and my legs were wrapped around his waist as he walked slowly to the wall and pinned me there. His hand was also in my hair, the other was under my leg to carry me. Suddenly he pinched my bottom slightly. I squeaked in horror. As in so many stories, he used this moment to wander into my mouth with his tongue. Oh s**t! I had never done that before! Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Or why was he so timid? Honestly, I had no idea what exactly I was doing using my tongue as well, but it just felt amazing.

Breathing heavily, I pulled away from Damon and took a gasp. He grinned at me. "You're great," he breathed, making the butterflies in my stomach churn. "You're unfair," I muttered, pouting and pouting my lower lip. He laughed. "Why is that?" "You can't just piss me off, then make me happy and kiss me, and then make a line like that. I don't even know what to say now." Damon's eyes lit up and he pulled me tighter in his arms as he slowly lowered me down the wall.

"Princess, let me just tell you the truth." He looked deep into my eyes. "You're doing it again," I protested in embarrassment, looking down at the floor, my face red. “Elise, don't be ashamed that you are perfect for me. Accept yourself because if any of us were to be ashamed of ourselves, it would be me because I've hurt you and made you angry so many times, but you've always given me another chance." I swallowed and looked at him. " You don't have to pretend that I'm awesome, it was me who took advantage of everything to find out secrets and other things, while allowing me to touch and kiss you however I wanted, for example.

I mean not that we've stuck to the deal and terms for the last two or three days, but still. Just that I was so bold as to make such demands... I'm ashamed of it." "Elise, everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't make you any less perfect to me.

Your flaws are yours, and I find them attractive too. I...I love everything about you." My jaw dropped. "Y-you...you love me?" Damon nodded vigorously. I looked at him speechless. "You don't have to answer anything. I understand if you're not ready yet." Carefully, he raised his hand to gently brush a strand of hair away from my face. His fingers lightly brushed my cheek, which immediately began to tingle. His beautiful, sapphire-blue irises lit up at me. " It's just... I - we haven't known each other that long and I've never said anything like that to anyone..." "Hey, I told you it's okay! I get it and I'm willing to wait until you are too." Without saying another word, I kissed him.

Until there was a soft bang. We jerked apart in shock, but it was just my window door that had slammed shut and was now opening again due to the wind. I clutched my heart but smiled at Damon. Until a howl sounded. And it sounded close. As if it came straight from my garden. Fearfully, I clung to Damon, who pulled me close. Worried, he looked into my eyes until the howl sounded again.

"I have to go," he breathed and wanted to climb out of the window. I grabbed his arm. "Are you crazy? There are probably wolves or something lurking out there right now and you just want to get out of here?" "They are definitely not wolves! I'm sure you're wrong. Everything's fine." The howl sounded again. I screeched hysterically. "Are you kidding me? They're definitely wolves, I'm not stupid." "You must be wrong. I also have my car parked outside, nothing happens there." I looked at him with a frown. "But I didn't see a car outside." "You must have overlooked it. Elise, I have to go. But I promise you that nothing will happen to me." He gave me a light kiss on the cheek, then he jumped out of the window. Just like that... "You bum" I called after him angrily. Although I was actually rather anxious and worried about him.
