I didn’t want him to mark me like this, I had always wanted him to mark me but not like this. I wanted it when we were making out or him mating me not this.
“Don’t do this Damon, you have no right to. I don’t belong to you.” I told him, his canine brushed my neck and when I was thinking he’d mark me he took a step back.
“You’re right, I’m sorry for being a bother to you.” he sounded so hurt, his eyes were normal now.
“I don’t think I ever told you that but if you want to assume nonsense you’re free to.” I said taking his shirt with me, walking out of the room and he didn’t try to stop me.
I stayed awake through the night, I don’t just know why I couldn’t fall asleep. I was in the kitchen sipping coffee when Cici walked in in a lacy red night gown.
“Good morning. How was your night? I loved mine. Damon is simply the best especially in bed.” she excitedly said.
So he called her in after I left? He’s not even remorseful and still goes back to her.
Don’t be quick to judge, if he had anything to do with her you’d have felt it, she’s only lying. I heard my wolf say seeing that I had pushed her away since.
“He takes care of me so well, even being gentle because of the baby.”
It was obvious she was lying now, what if she was lying about the baby too? She was pissing me off and it was working. I held on to the mug tightly, I so wanted to spill the coffee on her.
“So when are you leaving, I mean… you should have been out of here by now. He’s mine anyway so don’t bother with him, you don’t stand a chance.” she said in a bitchy tone.
“Shut the hell up.” I shouted angrily hitting the mug on the table.
“The only one not supposed to be here is you and he’s mine not yours. You’re the one who doesn’t stand a chance.” I said smirking. She was totally stupid, I can’t believe she had nearly manipulated me into thinking what she wanted me to.
“Please, he likes me and he’s going to make me his Luna as soon as possible and we’d live together without rogues like you to separate us.”
I don’t know why I even got jealous or maybe I did it out of anger but I pushed her hard against the wall. I’m supposed to be good Luna, carry his child but she’s trying to steal him from me and I wouldn’t let her. For some reason I remembered Hilda’s words. ” someone wants what you have and would stop at nothing to get what they want. ”
Could it be Cici, if she’s the one she’s crazy to think I’d let her have him. I won’t let him go.
“Damon is mine, only mine. You’re not going to take him away from me no matter how hard you try. You’re not going to be his Luna.” I said nearly strangling her.
“Let’s wait and see then, we’d see who he’d be with.” she said smirking. If she was up to something she has no idea who she’s dealing with.
“Me. He’s mine not yours, never will be.” I said smirking.
“Your charms wouldn’t work on him you filthy thing. Nothing matches a sweet seduction from a sexy girl.” she said and I laughed.
Oh my gosh, she thinks she’s sexy.
“If you’re sexy then a stick is and while you might seduce him I don’t have to bother.”
“He’s still going to be mine no matter what you think or say.” she said and I just rolled my eyes.
It was taking everything within me not to kill her and her baby. I couldn’t stay here any longer before she leaves here a corpse.
I went back to the room did all the necessary things, I laid on the bed thinking, what if Damon wasn’t lying?
I woke up feeling hungry, I walked around the house just to take my mind off things. I heard some voices and decided to listen.
“She slapped me Damon, that filthy thing touched me and she nearly killed me and our baby, look what she did to my neck, she also told me that I can’t bee your Luna.” she complained crying. How pathetic.
” She wasn’t wrong, I don’t know where you’re getting all these ideas from but you’re never going to be my Luna. It’s not our baby, it’s your baby. You might have fooled Lee to think I’m the father but I know fully well that I’m not and if I hear you call her a thing, you’d spend nights in cell.” Damon threatened icily.
“You’re taking her side, what has she done to you, you hated rogues.”
“Not her. I’m going to keep taking her side Cici, stop all these nonsense. Go find the father of your child and don’t ruin my life because if things with Lee don’t turn out well you may as well just prepare your grave.” he coldly said walking away.
“What does she mean to you?” Cici angrily asked shouting.
“Everything, she means everything to me.” Damon stopped to answer and the look in his eyes with the way he sounded made me want to cry and just hug him.
He cares, I mean something to him. I just let her get to me like that, what have I done. I need to apologize to him.
I went back to the kitchen thinking of how to get Damon back and because I was hungry. I sat down on the stool thinking. Could Damon and I work out? Does he love me. My emotions were just jumbled up.
His scent washed over me and I turned to see him behind me. He looked frustrated and angry. Our eyes locked and I so wanted to take my eyes off him but I couldn’t. His green eyes are so beautiful, just looking at them is hypnotising. I started to feel all his emotions, he was angry and hurt. I knew I was the reason why he was hurt because I didn’t believe him, because I threatened to leave him. Guilt washed over me and I felt bad for causing him pain. I wanted to go to him, hug him and tell him I’m sorry but what about me. I wanted him to tell me that everything would be fine and it would just be both of us.
He walked over to me and wrapped his hands around me from behind. “Please don’t push me out Lee, don’t leave me.”
“Why don’t you want me to leave?”
” I love you Lee, I can’t live without you, I don’t want to loose you especially to Cici’s lie.” he answered.
He loves me, my heart was beating hard in my chest. He declared his love for me. I was beyond happy to know that he loves me.
“You have to believe Lee, that’s all I’m asking of you. For you to trust me, I made a grave mistake by sleeping with Cici after I met you and no amount of apology would make up for that. I do regret it Lee, day and night especially after seeing this is what she’s using to ruin us and I don’t want that to happen. Trust me Lee, please.” the sincerity in his voice almost made me cry.
He was literally begging me to trust him. I could feel his regret, sadness and pain. I’d be a fool not to believe him.
“I trust you now Damon, I should have a long time ago but I was blinded by anger. I know that’s not an excuse I’m so sorry especially for all the things I said to you.” I said wrapping my arms around him
“It’s okay now, everything’s going to be fine now.” he said holding me tighter.
“I’m sorry for not trusting you.” I said and he didn’t say anything for a while. I know that’s what hurt him the most and I felt bad. I shouldn’t have let my anger consume me, I should have listened to him but I was quick to judge.
“I was hurt Lee, you couldn’t even trust me or believe me.” he spoke up, the way his voice showed how hurt he was made me feel more guilty and I wanted to cry. I promised to help him but when something came I ran away.
“I’m sorry Damon.” I apologized tears spilling from my eyes. ” I know you must have been disappointed in me, I didn’t trust you. I’m so sorry.” I said crying.
I was just realizing the gravity of my mistake, I’d have felt shattered if the tables were turned. I probably wouldn’t forgive him.
“You don’t have to cry Lee.” he said placing his palm on my cheeks using his thumb to wipe my tears. “Everything is fine now, I promise I’m not even mad at you.”
How can he forgive me like that? I would have given him a tough time before even thinking of listening to him. I’m the one ruining this relationship and I have to stop that because I really want our relationship to work.
“I want to be the perfect mate for you but it seems like I’m ruining it. I’ve hurt you and I’m sorry.”
“You’re not perfect Lee so don’t worry. We’re not perfect no one is, I know I’ve not been the perfect mate to you either but as long as we’re here we can work things out so don’t give up on us Lee. Don’t leave me.” he begged.
“I won’t leave you Damon. I promise.” he smiled before taking my lips.
I had missed his lips on mine, his touch that was sending different sparks to different part of my body. He was kissing me slowly, taking his time ravishing me as if he couldn’t get enough of me.
We were in the room laying on the bed when Damon brought out something, it was a red box, he opened it and it was a bracelet, it was a black bracelet with a heart shaped diamond, it was simple yet beautiful.
“It’s lovely.” I said smiling and he put the bracelet on my wrist.
“I should have given it to you for a while.” he said slowly.
“So what stopped you?” I asked
“I just wanted to give it to you at a time I know you wouldn’t reject it.” he answered and I laughed. Was I that mean to him?
“You should have given it to me anyway.” I said and he just nodded.
“There’s something I want to tell you.” he said and I leaned closer looking up at him.
He sighed heavily before starting. “The girl who shot me, she’s Aria.”
