Chapter 84 084
Brian’s POV
I have long heard of the violent tendencies of Alpha Damien, and I’ve always wanted to stay away from him. But who would have thought Amelia would end up in his hands? If I knew things would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have rejected her before.
I had my reasons for rejecting her in the past, even though I had to do it harshly. It was all because my father knew her secret but never said it, since her parents were covering up for her. My father had to pretend he didn’t know unless the truth got out, which no one did.
It was the main reason why I had to go away for a long time, because it was the only way for me to protect her. I would have told her all of this, but I didn’t want her to misunderstand and cling to me after I was told to leave her alone. I was finally coming back to have her again, and this happened.
I came back for her, and I definitely wouldn’t give up. Even if Damien is more powerful than me and my entire pack, I won’t give up on her. He’s not someone who deserves her, and he’s known for being too violent with women. He never cares about their feelings. Why would she choose to stay with someone like him?
I couldn’t stop thinking about her and how she rejected me because of what I said a few days ago. I know she’s still mad at me, which is the reason she’s hating me like this. Of course, I made it look like I looked down on her at that moment, and now that I came back, it feels like I’m trying to curry up favor with her because she finally got her wolf.
“Your father had many people he could have sent to me, and he decided to send you. Do you believe that I’m going to kill you here and send your head back to him as an alliance gift?” he threatened me, but I wasn’t scared.
“I don’t have as much power as you, and right now I’m in your territory, so you could do what you want. You should know that I came with a message from my father, and if you end up killing me, no matter how powerful you are, it would be your downfall. Do you want to try?”
He looked very pleased by what I said, which was good enough for me because I wanted to make him more angry and unreasonable in front of Amelia. Of course, I wasn’t the person who was supposed to bring the message to him, but I had to do it. I was so angry when I heard my father was associating and trying to plan something with him. Even though my father is ambitious, I feel like Damien must have threatened everyone to do what he wants.
I decided to do what my father wanted someone else to do. It was also an opportunity for me to legitimately see Amelia without having to sneak around or provoke him. Even though my presence threatens him enough, it only proves that he’s insecure and he knows he’s nothing when it comes to Amelia’s affection. She only cares about me and would soon come back to me anyway.
“Whatever message you have to give me, tell your father to deliver it himself. This time around, I want you to get out of here before I finish counting,” he threatened me again.
“Alpha Damien, don’t you think it’s unreasonable for you to do this?”
I felt so angry and helpless. How could he ask my father to bring him the message directly? Isn’t that disrespectful to someone who is older and also at the same level as him? They are both leaders. Why does he get to be the one who has the power to make everyone fear him?
“I don’t think it’s unreasonable. Since you can’t control yourself and you keep looking at my woman, I have to teach you a lesson.”
I could see his eyes glow for a moment, and I thought I saw it in a flash, but it wasn’t a flash, it was exactly what I saw. His eyes looked very different from others when he was angry, and they were much more powerful. Then people understood what kind of Alpha he was and how he was able to make my father submit to him, even though they are both Alphas.
I could see Amelia immediately stepping in front of him to stop him. “Wait a minute, let me talk to him myself.”
Damien looked completely mad, and he looked like he wanted to kill me immediately. But how would he do that when she already stopped him? So she still cares about me a lot and always pretends she doesn’t care.
“Are you defending him? You know what I hate the most? I hate you thinking about him or defending him right in front of me! Now you know what you did wrong, and you want to help him out?” Damien fired at Amelia.
I quickly stepped in place to stop him and save her from him. “You shouldn’t talk to her like that! Amelia is a very responsible person who cares about her reputation. How could you assume things? She just doesn’t want to be a bloodthirsty monster like you.”
“How dare you talk to me like that? You think because she’s right here I won’t do anything to you?” Damien moved closer to me, but he stopped when Amelia stepped in front of him.
I knew this would be my chance to finally get her to come back with me. Since she’s helping me like this, it means that she still has me in her heart, and I’m going to be happy to have someone like her.
“Get out of my way, Amelia! I don’t want to hurt you!” Damien shouted at her, but she refused to leave.
“Amelia, you should come back with me right now. You shouldn’t stay with this monster—you’re only going to keep hurting yourself more.”
I saw how she was coming closer to me, and it made me happy. She was finally listening to me, and I opened up my arms to welcome her. I will take her home this time around, and I will marry her. I don’t care whatever Damien has done to her, she’s going to be mine from now on. It’s also a good thing that she finally fits the criteria of someone that I can make my Luna.
I thought she was going to hug me when she got closer to me, but what happened was a shock. She slapped me multiple times that it took me a few moments to get myself.
“Amelia, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you hit me?” I questioned, holding my face. That was such a hard slap, how much strength does she have to be this powerful?
“Brian, do you know how long I’ve been asking you not to do this anymore, but you don’t listen to me?” she asked me. “Do you think I’m an idiot or what?”
“What’s that supposed to mean? What I’m doing is for your own good. Besides, I know you did this to get revenge on me because you hate me. There’s no way you would fall in love with this kind of person. I know you better than anyone,” I replied to her.
But what met me again was another slap, and this time it was harder than the one she gave me before.
“SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH RIGHT NOW!!!”
