Chapter 13

Amelia’s POV

I watched Freya as she paced around the study room in anger, she was shocked at how Damien had quickly started building a relationship with me. I felt it was too early for them to start having issues because of me, it was as though things were going faster than I had planned. 

I never knew Freya could be that jealous. I was glad she easily got hurt by my presence in Damien’s study. ‘That’s just the tip of the iceberg,  Stella’ I thought to myself. I wanted to execute my plans to take my revenge on them slowly, they needed to suffer just like they made me do. 

I wanted to make everything slow and painful for Freya, I desperately wanted her to experience everything she had put me through. I decided to step in as Freya continued to argue with Damien, I didn't want them to ruin my plan. 

“Can the both of you just stop, please?!” I chimed in, Freya paused for a while as she gave me a hard stare.

“You don't have to bother about her going out, I’ll excuse you both.” I declared as I stood up from the chair I had been sitting on since I entered the study. 

“No, you don't have to leave Miss Maya. I’m not done conversing with you.” he countered quickly as he walked back to his chair and sat down facing me. 

“Have you lost your mind, Damien? Are you seriously going to choose her over me right now?” Freya asked, pain evident in her voice. 

I was glad as I watched the drama unfolding in front of me, I hadn't started executing my scheme yet, and she was already in pain. I suspected that Freya had a spy in the palace who had informed her that I was in the study with Damien. 

“You can reserve the conversation for another day, Damien. I’ll just leave you both to sort yourselves out.” I insisted as I gave Freya a deadpan look.

“I guess there is a spy in this palace,” I said as I walked towards the door. 

“What do you mean by that? What are you insinuating?” Freya countered quickly.

I paused close to the door and turned back to face her. I knew she was going to react that way, I was sure someone had alerted her about Damien’s movement around me. The spy had informed her that I was in the study with him, ‘if not how did she find out so quickly?’ I thought to myself.

“I was shocked at the way you barged in the room, it was as though you were already informed that I am in the study with Damien.” I pointed out with a sly grin on my face.

Freya was guilt-stricken as she stared at me in silence without uttering a word, her eyes burned as anger coursed through her body. Damien looked at me as if he was trying to make sense of what I had said. Freya had a spy around him to watch his movement with me around the palace. 

It was as though the statement I made sparked another heated argument between the two of them. As I walked out of the room I smiled, as their loud voices faded away as I closed the wooden door behind me along the hallway. 

Just then I saw Luna Bella and our gaze met. She stared at me intensely, as her sharp stare pierced my soul. I wasn't bothered by the way she looked at me, as I paused to have a brief conversation with her. 

“Good day, my lady.” I greeted her as I halted my step, my voice soft and calm.

“Thank you.” She replied sharply, her gaze still fixed on my face. She had always kept quiet at the dramas that had been unfolding at the palace. I suspected she had something in mind against me, but she chose to observe all the happenings in silence.

We stared at each other in silence until I finally glanced away ignoring her stare. I decided to ask about Alpha Donovan’s health instead.

“How is Alpha Donovan’s health?” I asked as I shifted my gaze from her face to the wall, breaking the silence in the hallway.

“He is recovering, all thanks to you. There have been some improvements in his health compared to the last few days.” She answered as she folded her arms across her chest and smiled.  

“That’s good to hear,” I replied as I returned the smile.

My heart beat elevated as I remembered the story my aunty had told me about her before she died. I promised myself to make sure everyone pays for their evil deeds. 

Just then I heard the loud creaking sound of the door, myself and Luna Bella quickly shifted our gazes to the door to the study room. Damien opened the door angrily and stormed out of the room, he was furious as he walked briskly towards myself and Luna Bella.

Anger was clearly written on his face,but his eyes softened immediately when he saw me. A smile played on his lips as he stared at me. 

I turned my face away from him immediately, my facial expression was blank. 

“I’ll be heading back to my room, my Lady” I said to Luna Bella as she stared at Damien in astonishment. She saw the way his facial expression changed immediately he set his eyes on me. It was as though she was beginning to suspect Damien’s ungodly movement around me.

“Okay,miss.” She replied as she began to walk away. 

I ignored Kaiden and walked straight to my room.

As I climbed the stairs to my room my heart burned in anger, I didn’t want to form any close relationship with Damien. It was so annoying that I had to accept his friend request because I was taking my revenge on him. 

As I opened the mahogany door to my room, a flashback of how he kissed my hand resurfaced in my head. I was infuriated at the thought, and I suddenly remembered the touch of his lips on my hand which angered me the most. I knew Kaiden was going to be very hurt if he knew what transpired between me and Damien that day. 

I knew I wanted to take my revenge so badly ,but at the same time I didn’t want to hurt Kaiden in the process. He doesn’t deserve to go through any pain because of me, ‘Damien is not worth causing him any pain’ I told myself. 

I stood up and walked briskly to the bathroom, as I entered the bathroom I walked straight to the zinc and turned on the tap. I began to wash my hand gently, I wanted to wash his filthy lips off my skin. It was as though the image was stuck in my head, I began to wash my hand violently as the thought kept popping up in my head. 

My hand was all red and hurt. I let out a scream as I stared at myself in the large mirror placed in the bathroom. I felt like crying out my heart, I never imagined that I could ever heal from the traumatic experiences I have had in Bloodmoom pack. I continued washing my hand violently till it got sore.
