"Damien, help son" I looked around and saw Beckett and Damien run into the park taking down rogues on his way, so many bodies lay limp on the ground. Damien's pack fought most of them off while Damien made his way to us. He growled, and I jumped back by the fury on his face. Max limps as he breaks through the tree line.
"Damien, son" Estella purrs, getting up off the ground, she opens her arms like she is some loving mother and I see Damien falter. Feel his sadness through the bond. Estella walks over to him and I watch gobsmacked as I get wave after wave of Damien's love for this bitch, filtering into me through the bond. Wolves circling around growling at her, yet Damien looked at her like she is a loving mother. Even let her embrace him as she wrapped her arms around him.
"You can forgive me, son, can't you? We have blown everything way out of proportion. I came to help when she attacked me" Damien's eyes darted to me, the anger I saw in them shocked me, making me step back. Layla growled loudly in my head. He was choosing her over us, after everything she has done, he was choosing her. Pack members growled at him as he hugged her to him, Damien looking out over his pack before yelling, using his Alpha voice.
" Quiet" He bellowed. Everyone went silent, Estella reached up touching his face with her hands, tugging his face toward her in what appeared to me a motherly gesture, only I wasn't fooled like Damien.
She wraps her arms around him, looking at me with a knowing smile on her face. She won, he was choosing her over me, over his pack.
She lets him go, before turning to face me. Damien's face expressionless as she addresses me.
"Blood is thicker than water Lily, a mother's love will always" She didn't finish as I watched her eyes widen in shock. She looks down at her chest, her hands clutching it. Estella then looks over her shoulder at Damien, his face twisted in anger. He leans next to her ear, her eyes wide with shock as she locks eyes with him.
"You were never my mother" He whispers before he shoves her forward, Estella screeches loudly before she goes limp and falls to the ground at his feet. I stare shocked before looking up at Damien, his mother's heart squeezed tightly in his hand.
Suddenly we all looked to the trees as we heard an agonised howl in the distance before the remaining rogues took off, our warriors fast on their heels chasing after them. Damien looked toward me before stepping over his mother's dead body lying on the ground.
His eyes softening as he held out his arms and I ran into them. Smacking into his chest with so much force he was nearly knocked over.
"You're okay, babe" Damien whispers into my hair and I shake my head.
"I thought you were choosing her over us" I said, squeezing him tighter, Damien winced in pain and I loosen my grip.
"Sorry" I whisper.
"Not your fault, my ribs still haven't healed" He says lifting up what was left of his shirt. Black bruising covered half his side, but I could tell it was healing already as parts were turning yellow. Damien grips my chin making me look up at him.
"I would never choose anyone of you and our pack" He says as he leans down and kisses me softly. Beckett walks over, stopping next to us and Damien straightens up.
"We only lost thirty-three" Damien nods.
"What do you want to do, Alpha?"
"Nothing right now, Blood Moon Pack is on their way, prepare for housing. We are going to war and after what those rogues told us. It's going to be a bloodbath" I look up at him and Damien shakes his head.
"In the morning I will tell you, for now let's go home"
Beckett walks off Damien singing out to him as we walk toward the pack house. "Prepare the bunkers as well, "
"Yes Alpha" Beckett calls.
"Damien?" I ask, as we are walking back toward the pack house.
"Yes" He says, stopping and looking down at me before shoving a key into the panel near the door. The roller shutters lifting.
"I think Kade is your father" Damien freezes, looking down at me, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Lily POV
Who would have thought that this morning everything was fine and now everything had turned to shit. Damien never said anything about the possibility of Kade being his father. It was like he didn't know how to process that information. We quickly changed and went back out to help the rest of the Pack with the clean up before dragging ourselves back inside just on dark.
My phone vibrates in my back pocket. Looking at the screen Damien growled when he saw who was calling before taking it from me and rejecting the call.
"Seriously it could have been urgent" I tell him, taking my phone from him.
"If it was urgent Aria would ring you" Damien says before storming off up the stairs. My phone starts ringing again and Brent's name appears on my screen, I turn it off. I didn't feel like arguing with my mate and if it was anything important, Aria has Damien's phone number to ring.
Tossing my phone in the bowl on the hallway stand, I walk upstairs looking for Damien. Finding him in the bathroom, I watch as he strips off his clothes before hopping under the water. I strip mine off before stepping in under the water and wrapping my arms around his waist from behind. He tenses for a few seconds before relaxing.
"Sorry I didn't mean to snap at you, just been one hellish day" He says before placing his head under the stream and resting his hands on the wall. I kiss his back before moving in front of him. I could feel his mixed emotions through the bond, he felt sad that his mother was dead even though she was horrid, then confused about Kade and worried for his pack and lastly worried about me.
