I, Claire, Emily, and Scarlett were gisting and keeping up with our lives that we didn't realize just how late it became until Emily received her mate's call.
After the whole outburst and all, I concluded in my mind that I'll try my best to survive and if it's getting too much, I'll just go back to my dad. I don't want to leave Damien but if things get too hard, I have to survive right?
The funniest thing is I wasn't even hungry, I literally ate nothing today and I was feeling full, probably because of the anxiety and adrenaline rush, I felt today.
When Damien barged into the room without prior notice, I wasn't shocked at all, instead, I was happy. Seeing the shock and fright on his face as his eyes searched for mine brought the fullness of joy to my heart.
The way he hugged me only assisted in increasing the butterflies that roamed in my belly and I felt very safe in his arms.
That's why I couldn't complain when he said the safest place for me here is in his arms because it's true.
But that didn't mean I love the idea of changing the room.
I have a problem with adapting to a new environment, my body takes a long time and tons of uneasiness to come into agreement with a new place and when I finally adjusted to the room I was in before, he decided I'm changing rooms. If not because I don't really have a choice, I would have fought for my room.
But then, I'm trying to start from now on and take baby steps into becoming a true Luna, and it starts from obeying my Alpha and controlling my tongue.
I kinda ache to ask him how the meeting went through since Emily and the rest told me he and his council went to decide my fate there but then I didn't bother, if he dimmed it fit, he'll tell me.
I didn't know when the car zoomed into a compound until I felt we weren't moving anymore.
"Welcome home" he whispered as I looked into his eyes
"Yeah" I grumbled not feeling like thanking him and he just laughed lowly.
"This is the place I and my siblings grew up after our parents died, before they did, we lived in the pack house, right on the floor where you were staying" he explained while opening the door for me
"What a gentleman," I said to the gesture and he gave me a pack on the lips while I blushed
I took in the house in front of me and I felt a surge of happiness rising in my heart. It's a two-story building that gave off an ancient vibe from the outside but seeing the way it was built, I guess the ancient look is just a design
"Claire and Scar will take care of your belongings, let's go to your new room," he said holding my hands and taking me inside, the term new room didn't really sit well with me though, but still I didn't complain
"What age were you when your parents died?" I asked hoping the topic isn't really a sensitive one for him like it is for my dad, he hates it when I bring up my mom, I'm just grateful he loves me and didn't blame me for her death.
"I was seventeen, Claire was just seven and our brother, Cage, whom we don't really talk about was just twelve" he replied before placing his hand at my lower back and opening the door to his house
"Claire told me about him, he now has his own pack," I said looking at him
"Yes" he replied with a smile but I could sense the pain in his word, there must be a story behind this Cage guy and I'm super curious to find out, but controlling my tongue, I decided to keep shut.
Taking in the view in front of me I was more than surprised. This place looks more like a luxury palace than the pack house, with the chandeliers, chairs, TV, furniture, and setting, I can already feel my body adjusting to the place.
"Love it?" he asked as he stared at my face
"Kinda," I said trying not to let my surprise and happiness seep into my voice while he just laughed
"Okay then, let's go to your new room," he said as we climbed the stairway.
Looking down from the stairway, the view down was much more beautiful and I couldn't stop the question that dropped out of my mouth next
"Who designed this place?"
"An architect" he replied with a smile
"And where is he?"
"Far away from here," he said still with a smile but looking into his eyes, I knew who it was, his dad
"Do you miss him?" I asked as we reached the end of the staircase
"Very much, if he was here, I wouldn't have to struggle with the Elders, he would have sorted it out," he said with a fake smile
"How did he die?" I questioned out of total curiosity, forgetting that I'm supposed to caution my tongue and mind my business
"A topic for another day," he said with the same fake smile that feels as if he's trying to console me and himself
"Now here is your room," he said opening the door to the fourth room on this lane
Entering the room, I could already tell it's his, with the blue and black that littered everywhere and his cologne which along brought a calming feeling
"Your room?" I asked with a smug smile
"Well, now our room," he said returning my smile with a peck on the cheek
"Now who's being the clingy pet here," I said in a sing-song voice while looking away from him
"Clingy pet?" he asked hugging me from behind and I sunk into him, while the tingles rushing through us created tons of emotion inside of me, most especially love
"Hmmm hmm," I said smiling against his head which he rested on my shoulder
"Why can't I deny the fact though"
"That's because I'm right, you're a clingy pet," I said turning my body to face him
If it was before, the expression on his face would have created fear in me and I'd be wondering what I didn't do wrong, but now I know better, he's trying to control his inner demon, trying to keep his mind and brain functioning as my slight action was a tease to him and that I know because of the bulge I felt hitting my stomach as I turned
"Turning your body like that isn't so good for a guy who's trying to control himself," he said huskily as the sexual tension in the room kept increasing
"And who's forcing you to control yourself" I replied giving into to the sexual tension and my arousal
"Layla," he said as his eyes kept changing color
"Yes" I whispered and he groaned before merging his lips with mine

The next chapter would be total smut.
That's a warning I'm giving even though I know you don't need it.
I have to rush to work this morning that's why this chapter is kinda short, it's currently 7:39 am and works start at 8 am and did I forget to put 'I've not even taken my bath?'
Now allow me to rush out of here and go start the life I'm living outside this book.
Thanks for reading and love you all mercilessly
Ciao Adios
*drops the phone, stands up, and rush to the bathroom*
