Sofia pov:
I woke up in a soft bed, feeling refreshed and cool. But something was off. I never slept in a soft bed like this before. I sat up with force, my head spinning. "Where are we?" I asked my wolf, Lily.
Lily's voice was calm. "We got beaten, but our mate saved us and brought us here.
I looked around, realizing I was in Damian's room. I tried to get up, but my head hurt really bad, sorry I couldn't heal us fast. I need to make them believe that we are just omega wolf Lily said. Just as I was about to leave, Damian walked in with a tray full of food.
"Can't get up yet," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "You need to relax and eat. Get your strength back.
I shook my head. "Thank you, but I don't need it. I need to get back and prepare dinner for the pack house.
Damian's expression turned cold. "Don't be ridiculous. I've announced to everyone that you're my mate, and you're not to do pack chores anymore. You're my mate and future Luna, and you're to be treated as such.
I felt a surge of anger. "Who gave you the right to announce that? Do you know what you've done? Everybody's going to look at me worse now, and I'll be targeted every day.
Damian's eyes flashed with possessiveness. "They can try. They should try and see what I'll do to them."
I pushed him away, my heart racing. "Damian, you don't get it. It's not just that easy. I don't want to be with you. It's not about the pack, it's about you. I don't want to have you as a mate. I can't live past the hurt and how you let your girlfriend treat me.
Damian's face darkened, and he dropped the tray on the table. He walked dangerously close to me, pushing me down on the bed, and whispered in my ear, "I've told you time and time again, Sofia. You're not going to reject me. and Vanessa is not my girlfriend anymore I ended things with her.
You did what?! are you crazy do you want to get me killed? I asked him sounding really scared.
I'm not trying to get you killed Sofia nobody is going to hurt you again I promise.
How can you be so sure Damian? That's it, reject me now Or please let me reject you. I said to him,
No Sofia I won't let you reject me! In fact let me do the needful now.
He sat up, looking into my eyes, and the mate bond snapped into place. I, Damian Blackwood, accept Sofia Voklot as my mate and future Luna, of the pack and the mother of my unborn pups.
The bond roared to life, and I felt it snap into place. The pack link opened, and congratulations flooded in. I felt the pack link for the first time, and it was overwhelming.
Damian's eyes locked onto mine, burning with intensity. You're mine now, Sofia. Get used to it.
looked at Damian, my eyes narrowing. Fine, I'll eat, but after that, I'm leaving your room
Damian's lips curled into a sly smile. Well, okay. Let's see.
I ate the food, and after finishing, Damian mind-linked one of the omegas to come and get the dishes. I looked down, realizing I was wearing Damian's shirt, and panic set in.
Where's my shirt? I asked, my voice rising. Who changed me?
Damian's expression turned calm. It wasn't me, Sofia. One of the omegas changed your shirt. It was stained with blood, so we had to change it.
I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and embarrassment. I headed to the door, and Damian tried to stop me.
Where are you going?he asked,
I turned to him, You promised that once I was done eating, I could leave your room. I want to discuss something with my dad.
Damian's eyes narrowed, but I pushed past him, heading downstairs. He chased after me, telling me to hold on and not stress myself.
I turned to him, rolling my eyes. Leave me alone, Damian. Stop bugging me.
When we got downstairs, Damian finally managed to stop me. What exactly do you want to discuss with your dad? he asked, his voice low.
I turned to him, my expression determined. "It's none of your business, but if you want to know, I want to let my dad know that I'm moving into my grandmother's house because I'm eighteen now. That's the arrangement, and the alpha signed on it.
Damian's eyes widened. Do you think your father is going to agree to that?
I shrugged. He has to. It's the agreement.
Just then, Josh came over, interrupting us. Sorry to interrupt, but I needed to know what to do with the bullies we locked up in the dungeon.
Damian's expression turned cold. Lock them there until I decide what to do.
I turned to him, my eyes flashing with anger. What bullies? Damian, what has gotten into you? Why did you lock those bullies up? Do you know what their parents are going to do to me?
Damian's expression turned cold. Let them try and I'm not releasing them. They hurt you, beat you up... and Vanessa is with them.
I held my chest, a sarcastic smile spreading. Yeah, that's right. Definitely trying to get me killed.
Lily, my wolf, whispered, "Wow, our mate is really hot and sexy when he's being protective of us.
I told her, Please don't get used to it. He's just playing games with us.
Josh cleared his throat again. "Umm... I'm still standing here. Which one am I going for?"
Damian and I answered at the same time. Tomorrow, he said. "Now," I said.
Damian continued, Let them stay overnight, and tomorrow, bring them out and give them fifty lashes. Lace the whip with wolfsbane
No josh. Please just let it be Damian.
Damian smirked. "No, they're hurt and I will hurt them back.
I rolled my eyes. Fine, do whatever you want. It's not like I'm going to change your mind anyway. You are the great Alpha. So do as you wish.
Damian looked at Josh. Fine, you can go.
Josh hesitated. I can't move.
Damian raised an eyebrow. Why?
As her protector and future Gamma, "I can't disobey her command, I'm bound to follow Luna's orders.
