“Damien sent them, they are here to escort you home”
“What the fuck is going on?” I demanded. They all looked at each other before one stepped onto the porch and reached for me. I smacked his hand away as he went to grab my arm.
“Luna, we have orders to take you home” He said in a rough voice. He was the biggest out of all the warrior’s and quite intimidating to look at with his heavily tattooed arms hanging out, only wearing a singlet and cargo pants.
“No, I am not leaving until someone tells me what’s going on” The warrior ignores me before reaching for me again and this time I react, stepping to the side. I grabbed his hand, yanking him forward before kneeing him in the stomach. He grunted before I saw the other three men take a step toward me, but I growled at them, making them freeze.
Max stares worriedly and I hear Callie race out the door, alarmed. The man gets up and grabs me around the waist and I throw my head back, head-butting him, but his grip doesn’t waiver in the slightest even though I definitely heard the sickening crack of his nose.
I fight against him and manage to get out of his grip. I can feel Layla on the verge of shifting, not liking the way we are being treated.
“Please Lily, the Alpha doesn’t want you out here at the moment. Just go with them,” Callie pleads with me.
“No, not until someone tells me where he is and what’s going on” I scream frustrated. I suddenly hear movement behind me before I hear his voice.
“I’m right here, next time you’re told to do something Lily, fucking do it” He growls, making me turn around.
The sight of him makes me step back. He is shirtless, only wearing some shorts, and he is drenched in blood. He walks up the steps and grabs my arm, I shake him off.
“What the fuck happened to you?” I ask, stepping out of reach. He growls before grabbing my elbow, pulling me down the stairs.
“Don’t question me, you know not to leave the Packhouse after dark Lily and I know Natalia would have told you not to leave”
“You have to be kidding, right? You have been gone all day and night I just went looking for you”
“Well, you found me now let’s go” He says, pulling me toward the street.
“The rest of you go home” He orders the men that were trying to take me earlier. I dig my feet in, forcing him to come to a stop as everyone darts back into the trees.
“What is going on Damien?” I ask. He growls before tugging my arm.
“Not now Lily let’s go home”
“Not until you tell me what happened. Why are you drenched in blood?” I tell him, pulling my arm from his grip.
“That is none of your business, now let’s go” He says, reaching for me, making me step back.
“Lily. Now. My patience is running out”
“Tell me what happened” He growls this time lunging forward and seizing me around the waist he then throws me over his shoulder and starts marching down the street back towards the centre of town.
“Put me down Damien” I tell him, smacking and hitting his back. I hear him growl. Feel it vibrate through his chest. I stop when I recognise the stench coming from the blood he is drenched in, his skin sticky and blood is getting on my clothes.
“Rogues, you have been out killing rogues” I scream before pushing myself up. Damien readjusts me, making me bounce on his shoulder.
“Is this anything to do with Tabitha’s mate?” I hear him growl and his fingers digging into my thigh.
“Seriously Damien put me down, you are getting blood on me” He ignores me and continues walking home. When we reach the house, he walks into the living room and dumps me on the lounge.
“You don’t leave this house after dark, understood?” He yells, leaning over me.
“Geez overreacting much” I spit back. His eyes darken and I can see his anger behind them .
“You disobey me and you will find yourself locked in that room, permanently”
“No, not understood asshole, how can I understand when you won’t even tell me why I have to remain in this fucking house” I scream before trying to get up. He shoves me back down before I feel his hand go to my hair and he rips my head backwards. He runs his nose along my cheek to the crook of my neck and growls low. Before he suddenly lets go and steps back. I can see his hands shaking in anger, but I refuse to be intimidated and glare just as fiercely back. Getting up, I walk out, before I hear him sigh.
“Lily, wait,” He says.
“No, I am going to bed” I tell him walking out of the room and up the stairs, I hear him following me.
“It’s for your own safety Lily, that’s all I can say right now”
“Rogues are no danger to me, Damien. I can handle a fucking rogue” I tell him walking into the bedroom before heading to the bathroom.
“Why must you question everything?”
“Because you don’t tell me anything and don’t tell me to follow orders, you are not my Alpha” I scream frustrated before going to slam the door only for him to catch it and shove it back open.
“This is my Pack; therefore my rules stop fighting against me, Lily. You won’t win”
“Whatever” I scoff, and he steps forward.
“Lily,” he warns.
“Don’t Lily me. You’re not my father and I wasn’t the one out killing innocent rogues”
“They aren’t Lily, they stepped on my territory. You don’t need to like how I do things, but you will obey my rules. I let the other one live, I won’t allow rogue’s on my territory. They know the consequences”.
“I’m a Rogue” I said defiantly crossing my arms across my chest.
