Chapter 17

Damien's gaze remain on the healer as she limped while walking out of the room, stirring up a new wave of fury and doubts in the minds of Freya and Luna Bella. The atmosphere was gradually becoming dense in silence and unbearably suffocating for Freya as Damien stared at the new healer with so much admiration, totally forgetting about Freya who was also in the room with him and Luna Bella. His desire for her lingered at  her every step, following her body moving, his inward desires for her evident in his eyes. 

Freya who had been staring at Damien with so much annoyance for his callous attitude and his overly nice attitude towards the healer grew more angry as Damien's behavior was becoming unbearable for her, she could not no longer think of any other think except how to get Amelia out of the picture.  

“Why are you still staring at Maya that way?” Luna Bella's distinct voice brushed in, moving Damien's attention which had been drawn by his fixed gaze on Amelia back to the reality. 

Freya was glad that lady Bella had called Damien back to his senses, she also felt satisfied by the question lady Bella had asked Damien, at least justified the fact that she was not loosing her mind or overthinking, she wasn't the only conserving the entire thing after. She nodded in satisfaction at the instant Luna Bella's question came in. 

“I wasn't staring at her, I was just trying to make sure she is  okay and fit enough to handle herself.  You know she is not in stable health now, she is sustaining an injury mom” Damien explained, trying to defend himself. 

His words still harbored some untruths within them, Bella was not satisfied by Damien's claims,  she knew her son was up to something as she wondered when Damien to pay so much attention on the healer's health. 

“Trying to help her is quite different and understandable, this is totally beyond that Damien, you have been behaving so different towards Maya lately and I can't really place my hand on why you are doing so” Bella argued,  she believed deep down in her heart that Damien wasn't being honest with her. 

Bella's questioned pissed Damien, he was annoyed by her question, he felt like she was being over inquisitive about the entire thing concerning the healer Amelia who they now regards to Maya. 

He felt like lashing out or better off ignoring her but the fact that Luna Bella was his mother made him to withdraw from the thought, he had to try his best to keep his emotions in check in the presence of his mother. 

“Well, I'm doing all these for the pack, for the benefit of the my pack. Maya is a competent woman and if we succeed in keeping her to our side, she will be of a great benefit to us and to the pack at large. I'm just trying to win her over to my pack mother”. He stated feigning to have the pack's interest at heart the most. 

Bella knew Damien's claims was not entirely the truth, she sensed that Damien's overtly nice attitude towards the healer wasn't just to win her over to the pack, she knew that there was more to it but she decided not plunder into it, particularly not in front of Freya. 

Freya on her side was already acting fussy about Damien's claims of trying to win the healer over to the pack, her agitation against Damien's proposal indicated nothing but hatred and displeasure about the healer. She argued, stating that it was not Damien's duty to win the healer over. Luna Bella made no reference to her words, she ignored her fussy comments and continued with her words to Damien who was already looking quite tensed about the entire questioning. 

“I'm already doing the work of winning Maya over Damien, you don't have let that bother you or make it a duty, leave it to me I will take card of it”. Bella stated and stood up to leave but Damien was still accepting her suggestion. 

“You can do that but it is still important that I help, I'm the Alpha after all and it will better if lean a helping hand” Damien argued but Bella only sighed and left the room. 

Freya who had been bill up as she watched everything finally  came to light as soon as Luna Bella walked out of the room. She quickly walked over to Damien, seating right in front of him with the intention of questioning Damien about the healer. Her emotions dripping in pain as her eyes falmes in jealousy and pity, she was scared of losing Damien to the healer. 

“Do you have feelings for her? Do you like her?” Freya asked as she got seated in front of Damien, her broken emotion evident in her eyes

“How are you referring to?” Damien questioned, pretending not to know what she was talking about. 

“The healer Maya, do you have something for her Damien, are you planning to take her in as your concubine?” She asked again, her voice solemn and pitiful this time around. 

“No of course, how could think of such Freya, inhale no intention of carrying out such plans” Damien said, acting all disgusted by Freya's thoughts. 

“I don't believe you Damien, if you are telling me the truth, why would you be treating her so nice in that manner? You don't tre8me that way remember, you are always wanting to be around her and I don't like it” Freya argued in a fussy manner. She went ahead to remind Damien of his promises to her.

“Remember you had promised me that you would love I alone, and you would not look at another women or go for another except me. You can't possibly break your promises because of a common healer, you are the Alpha and you should keep to your words always, Maya shouldn't be the one to make you look less of yourself” Freya's blackmailing statements prolonged, making Damien more upset with her. 

He was becoming sick of Freya's nagging, and was not ready to listen to more of her words. 

‘I would rather not seat her here and  listen to her madness’ Damien thought inwardly.

Damien knew clearly that she was just bringing all that up to sabotage his decisions and behaviors towards Maya, he was aware of Freya's indifferent attitude towards Amelia and that she dosen't want her anywhere  close to him. He became more furious towards her, losing his cool and stormed  out of the room, leaving Freya with no word of response. 

Freya was left alone in the room, she paced back and forth in the room, pouring her anger in every around her that comes in contact with her body or her dress. She started to rain curses on Amelia (Maya), calling her names and wishing everything bad would happen to her. 

“Oh goddess why did you allow that wench that calls herself a healer into this pack, she is nothing but a homewrecker” she snapped, running her hands through her hair as she fumed about in rage. 

Her hatred for the grew from the initial rate to an unbearable range as she wished for nothing but to see her eliminated and disgraced. She wished Amelia was more like an omega, she would eliminated her long ago and by now she would be long forgotten.

“It is not over yet, she will not go scot free this time around, I will make her pay dearly for this insult and all this hassle she is making me go through. I will make sure to disgrace her infront of Damien and everyone, and I will await what comes after that” she smirked, letting out a breath of rage.
