His eyes narrowed at , he walked closer, every step he took was like a storm coming.
’Am I wrong? Maybe I’m the one wanting him to feel sothing for and I only put that expectation on him. I believe he really sees as a pet, there is no need to be dramatic about it.’ I took a deep breath.
As much as it hurts it is better to accept reality. "Master... congratulations on getting a mate." I tried to accept my reality... but that doesn’t an I’ll stay here to watch it.
He growled ferociously, his hand grabbed my shoulders, making tense and still. His eyes were grey.
"Don’t you ever congratulate on such a thing." He growled.
I looked at him, trying to blink away the tears fighting their way out of my eyes. I’ve never been scared like this in my life. Why was he so angry at while I was only trying to congratulate him?
His narrowed and angry eyes widened in surprise. "Don’t cry." His thumb brushed away my tears.
’He is bipolar too.’
Like a dam broken, my tears flooded my face. No matter how I tried to hold them back, I just couldn’t... I couldn’t.
"Stop crying Ember... You don’t look too good when you cry." He pulled into a hug.
"Bwah ahhhh hah!" I increased the volu, pulling away from his embrace, however, he pulled back. His hand caressing my hair.
"Shhhhhh."
"Let go of ." I struggled more in his embrace.
"Stay still Ember," he held tighter, my face pressed against his chest. He began to pat my back... It was awkward at first, then it beca better and better.
I sniffled. ’Why is he making this hard for ? Why does he act like he cares about again?"
He pulled away when he noticed that I had almost stopped crying. He cupped my face. "Ember... all you need to know is that you are the only living being who managed to have a small spot in my heart."
’Was that supposed to be a complint or a reassurance? Because it is none of them.’
"It’s fine Master. But who are you mating with?" I sniffled trying to calm my ssy heart.
His body tensed a little bit. "That’s sothing you shouldn’t concern yourself with. Focus on recovering."
I nodded my head obediently, lowering my eyes so he wouldn’t see the thoughts spinning in them. If he thought I’d sit here quietly while he went to celebrate a union with another woman, he was wrong. But for now, I had to play the part of a quiet, agreeable, submissive pet. That was the only way I’d get a chance to slip away.
Damon stared at for a second, as if trying to read my thoughts. I kept my expression calm.
To my surprise, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he leaned forward and placed a small kiss on my forehead. It was quick, almost too quick to an anything... but for so reason, it lingered.
Before I could react, he turned around.
"Where are you going?" I asked, reaching out to grab his hand.
He didn’t even glance at . "To prepare for the party," he said with that usual detached tone, then walked out. The door slamd shut behind him.
I stared at it for a long mont, the cold wood almost echoing the silence that followed.
The kiss had confused . But I wasn’t going to sit here and dwell on it. I had work to do.
I stood up and got dressed quickly. I didn’t carry any bag or anything that would raise suspicion. My hair was tied into a neat bun, my clothes were simple and practical, and I tied a blue scarf around my neck, matching my dress. I looked like soone just taking a walk.
Keeping my head high and my steps composed, I walked to the door and opened it.
To my surprise, two guards stood there. One on each side of the entrance. Their eyes snapped to instantly.
I ignored them, walking out of the room, but halted imdiately as they suddenly blocked my path.
I blinked. "Excuse ... I’m just heading out for a bit."
They didn’t move. "We’re under orders not to let you leave," the taller one said.
I frowned. "Why not? I thought I was allowed to walk around freely."
"The Alpha said otherwise. You’re to remain in the room until further notice."
I crossed my arms, trying to look confused and not furious. "Did he say why?"
The second guard looked away. "He doesn’t need to explain his orders to us. We just follow them."
I stared at them both, my heart pounding in my chest. So he was already taking precautions. Did he not trust ? Or was this his way of locking in, now that he thought I might try to run?
My jaw tightened. "Fine," I said quietly, stepping back into the room.
I closed the door slowly, then leaned against it, biting the inside of my cheek. The fact that he’d placed guards without saying anything to ant one thing... he expected to try sothing.
’I wonder why you are so desperate to lock in?’ My eyes flicked to the window, and a small smirk ford on my lips.
I walked stealthily to the window, ignoring the pain shooting up my spine. I looked down to see if it was clear.
My breath hitched when I found four guards standing guard on the ground underneath the window. One of the guard’s eyes t mine, his gaze was stern as if to tell to go back inside.
I slowly flicked my eyes to the horizon, as if I were watching the beautiful view of a cloudy sky.
’Okay, this is more serious than I anticipated. But how can I get out of this room? What should I do?’ I paced around the room.
Then the mark on my back flared up, burning through my shoulder like an iron rod. A whimper escaped my lips as I tried to bite back the cry.
I fell to my knees, and my breath ca out in gasps. My eyes blurred for a mont. It felt like my shoulder was being pulled apart.
Cold beads of sweat ford on my skin like a pearl. A whirring sound ca from behind , and my heart stuttered in my chest.
’Was it the sa blue light? What does it want from ?’
But strangely there was no lullaby this ti, or butterflies and flowers.
I slowly turned around to see what it was. My body shook from the pain rushing through it.
My breath caught in my throat and my eyes widened, this...
