Chapter 43 043
Amy's POV
"You're asking me to give him some respect? He's supposed to be our enemy but now he's sitting here with you and you're asking me to respect him?" I fired at the Alpha without knowing.
"That's enough Amelia! Be respectful!" Dad angrily shouted at me.
I didn't want to say anything but I couldn't help myself. I almost forgot he was the Alpha of our pack. Even if I was someone who could be more powerful than our alpha right now, I still didn't want to disrespect him.
"I'm going to take the fact that you're about to become the Luna of the Flaming Moon pack and hold back. But, this shouldn't happen again or I'll have to punish you according to pack rules. Do you understand?" Alpha said to me.
I looked at Damien with anger looming over my heart. All I wanted to do at the moment while looking at him was strangle him. He put me in this situation and now he's watching me get humiliated. It's so unfair. Why did the moon goddess make him so powerful? He doesn't deserve it.
"You're not saying anything. Do you not agree with what I said and you want to rebel?"
I shook my head, quickly bowing it down. "No Alpha. I apologize for acting recklessly and disrespectfully. It won't happen again."
He nodded, "Now, apologize to Alpha Damien."
"What? You—" I immediately stopped myself from saying anything further. "Alpha Damien, I apologize for being rude to you. Please forgive me."
He was smiling the entire time. He must enjoy humiliating me. He's my mate yet all he does is to make me suffer and deliberately make my life difficult. Why should I ever like him?
"Alpha Damien, I apologize for the poor management of my pack members."
"There's no need to apologize. It's not some era where everything has to do with apology. Actually, I like her this way. She's very fierce and smart, totally my type."
I was fuming deep inside. Since when did he like me for being fierce? He always saw me as someone who wasn't worthy of him and now he thinks I'm fierce? He thinks I can't tell he's doing this because I have my wolf now? What does he think I am?
"I don't need your help in talking to my Alpha." I muttered, though it was meant to be heard by him.
He suddenly pulled me without thinking, making me fall onto his lap. My dad wanted to move but was stopped by the Alpha. I tried to get out of his grip, but I couldn't.
"What the hell do you want from me Damien? Let me go." I struggled continuously.
"Shhhh... Be a good girl and don't move. I'm trying to help you out." He whispered.
"I don't need your help." I instinctively whispered back.
"You're going to need it because you'll be punished hard as soon as I get out of here. Don't you know?" He replied.
I looked at the Alpha and could see that he was a little impatient. There's also my father who is mad that I got out of the house without his permission. The Alpha would punish me and so would my dad. Is Damien trying to show them that they can't do anything to me?
Is he trying to show them that I'm valuable to him and they can't think of punishing me after he leaves? I don't even want anything to do with him anymore. Why do I keep getting entangled with him? Why does my body respond to him? Could this be because of the mating bond.
"Alpha Orland, I hope you won't punish her after I'm gone?"
"Of course not, she's important to you so I'll never hurt her." He told Damien.
Damien smirked, "She's very precious to me. I don't like seeing her her hurt and I can't help myself when she's around. Treat my Luna well and you'll get everything you want from me."
Why the hell does Damien sound like the devil that's trying to lure people in? I mean, technically he's the devil. I can't believe our alpha would fall for Damien's trick like other packs that are under him. Isn't this deliberately trying to take over our pack? Damien is really cunning.
"I'll treat her well like I've always done. We're family after all."
Family? He has never bothered us but that doesn't mean that he's treating me like family right now. He only likes my family's power and the fact that my brother married his daughter made things more difficult for us. We would have left this pack a long time ago.
"Hmm.. that's interesting." Damien said, more like he was mocking our alpha.
"Alpha Damien, can you let go of my daughter? She's not supposed to be here on official meetings and I need to talk to her." My dad said to him.
I knew he wasn't going to listen so I immediately jumped off his legs when I noticed he wasn't holding on tight. I rushed to my dad's side who grabbed me like he was shielding me from Damien. I swear I could smell the hatred coming out of my dad for Damien. He's never going to accept me being together with Damien even if it cost him more than anything.
He looked at me, "Go home right now. I'm going to talk to you properly tomorrow."
I nodded, "I'm sorry dad."
I was about to leave without turning to look at Damien but I got stopped. For a moment, I couldn't move my body but then I was released in no time. However, I didn't move because I noticed that my dad was affected by it too.
I immediately understood that our Alpha was releasing his authority on us. As long as we were members of his pack, we would be affected by this. He hasn't done this to us before and this is only used as a past resort to tame criminals or rebellious members. Why is he doing this to us?
I pretended not to know what was going on and also pretended to be affected and weak.
"Dad... What's going on? I... I'm scared."
"Alpha, please stop. My daughter can't take it. Punish me alone." My dad begged him, falling to his knees.
This made me so angry. Is our alpha really trying to prove his authority in front of Damien? My dad asked me to leave but he's doing this when we're supposed to family. Does he even take my dad seriously?
"Alpha Orland, what do you think you're doing to my Luna?" Damien's voice cut through sharply and that was enough to make him stop.
We were released immediately and I rushed to check on my dad. "Dad! Are you okay?"
He pushed me off, "I told you to go home! What do you think you're doing here? Am I spoiling you too much?"
I looked at the Alpha and thought I should get my revenge on him for doing this to my dad. Who knows how many times he has done this. But before I could make a move, I saw our Alpha going through the same thing himself and it seemed like Damien was responsible for it.
"What's going on? Alpha Damien..." He tried to say but his words were cut off.
How powerful is Damien to be able to do this to his fellow Alpha? Is there some kind of other secret I don't know? Is he a hybrid?
"Alpha Orland, I wasn't doing anything. You just happened to be too weak to handle me. This is just a warning to you. If you're not satisfied, you can forget our cooperation."
Damien was so blunt towards the Alpha. Anyone with dignity will refuse to work with Damien.
"Of course not, Alpha Damien. This won't happen again. I understand you now."
What? He's actually accepting this humiliation? Is this our alpha or an imposter? Damien stopped talking to him and stood up, he walked towards me and grabbed my hand.
"Gamma Ronald, I think you still need to talk to your Alpha. Can I take her with me?"
"What? My dad will never—"
"Yes, take her with you." Dad replied to my surprise.
"What?" I exclaimed and couldn't say more because he dragged me and carried me on his shoulder. I looked at my dad, struggling to talk to him but I couldn't.
"Let me go you jerk!"
What if my dad gets punished by the Alpha again? What am I going to do?
"Your father will be fine. You're way too slow. He asked me to take you because he didn't want you to suffer more." Damien explained after stopping a little and continued walking.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Our home."
