Chapter 94 094
Amy's POV
I just couldn’t place my hands on it. I kept pacing around the room, trying to find a way to get to Damien hiding something from me, and I’m going to find out anyway. He can continue pretending that things would be fine, but I’m going to find out myself. I decided to go out of the room after I made sure that he was nowhere to be seen.
I didn’t want him to find out I was trying to discover things when he already told me to rest. I thought I would be able to get some information from Lucas as I tried to look for him around the house, but when I was going around, I kept seeing how the servants were looking at me. It made me realize that something else was happening, but I didn’t know. I decided to listen in on the conversation by pretending to pass by, and I could hear them talking by using my abilities as a Lycan.
“What is going on right now? I heard our people are being killed because of her, and she’s not even being Luna yet.”
“She’s not even Luna yet, and all of us are already getting killed. What would happen when she becomes Luna?
Will our pack be eventually destroyed? I don’t know yet, but she sure brings a lot of trouble.”
“All these years we’ve been blamed by a lot of people, and we’ve tried to stay away from them. Now we have to go through the trouble that she’s bringing for us again.”
I kept listening to all their remarks about me even though I was far away from them. They were right about a lot of things, and I can’t argue about it. I brought them a lot of trouble, and now they are getting killed because of me. They have every right to be mad at me in all ways possible because it’s definitely my fault that they are going through all of this.
And I feel so guilty about it that it makes me sick at the same time. How could those people do this to me? What exactly do they want? I don’t want Damien to go through another trouble or trauma because of me. He spent so many years trying to lead his pack through all his hard work and sufferings. Now that he has finally gotten a strong foothold in the community, I don’t want things to be ruined all because I showed up.
But if I was to leave now, he wouldn’t be happy, and I can’t go back home either, or else I would implicate them. As of now, I have to tell my brother to be careful about everything because they could go after my own family or pack also. This is so annoying to see, but Damien would likely not be safe either since they know we are both Lycans and the last ones remaining.
They don’t want us to be together, and they want to take our child away from us. Leaving wouldn’t solve anything. The best way now is to find a way to calm the mind of the people. From there, we can talk about the next thing to do.
No, I don’t think I can keep standing here doing nothing. I need to see Damien. I immediately rushed out towards him. In all cases, the best thing now is to see him and talk about the situation to find a solution.
When I went to his study, I could hear him talking to Lucas, and I waited to listen a little bit because I know if I got closer to the study, he would smell my scent, and he wouldn’t want to talk about it again. So I stayed to listen to their conversation.
“What do we do now, Alpha? A lot of people are very angry, and they are protesting against her. How do we rectify this situation?”
“I don’t really care what anyone says about her,” Damien replied. “If anyone has opinions about her, they have to go through me. If they don’t obey me, then they can as well pack their things and leave. They can seek protection from somewhere else.”
How can Damien say this? I know he cares about me, but he shouldn’t say this about his own people. They have gone through a lot together. I know they are just grieving the loss of their family, and I feel so unhappy about this.
“Alpha, I know I shouldn’t say this, but you’re wrong,” Lucas managed to boldly say to him, but I know a remark like that would make Damien angry.
“What did you just say to me?” He growled at Lucas.
“I’m sorry, Alpha, but the people deserve to be mad because they lost their families. They are in constant fear of being in danger, and they feel like she’s the reason why they are in danger. When something happens, people always try to find something or someone to blame for it. And now, she’s the one they are blaming. What we should do is to find a way to assure them that it’s not entirely her fault,” Lucas explained.
I thought Damien would get completely mad and attack Lucas, so I rushed inside, but I was surprised when I saw that Damien was thinking about it. He immediately changed his expression when he saw that I arrived.
“You’re here? What are you doing here? I thought I asked you to rest,” he said to me.
I shook my head. “You want me to rest when there’s a big situation like this happening because of me?”
“I told you not to worry about anything else. Why do you keep disobeying my orders?”
“Why are you getting mad at me?” I fired at him.
I think he understood that I was mad at him, and he immediately changed his expression of anger again.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that to you. I just don’t want you to worry about anything. You’re pregnant, and it’s dangerous. If you get agitated, you don’t have to worry about these things. I can take care of this. They’re my people, and I will find a way to explain things to them,” he said to me.
I got a little offended when he said that because he just said they’re his people, but he wants me to be his Luna. If I’m going to be his Luna, are those people not my people also?
“They are your people, and they are also my people. Have you forgotten you want me to be your Luna?” I said to him, and he stopped. He looked at me in shock like he didn’t expect me to say that. And then I realized that I just declared to him that I was ready to marry him after saying I didn’t want to marry him.
“Don’t get things wrong. I’m saying they are my people too because I care about them. I mean they are innocent people,” I tried to explain myself, but he just looked at me with a smile.
He’s really smiling so easily these days, even when he has a situation around him. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him smile. It made me so happy to see him finally loosening himself.
“You don’t have to explain things to me. I understand what you mean now.”
I shook my head. “That aside, what do we do in this situation? You should stop hiding things from me. You clearly told me there was nothing wrong yesterday, but you knew that something like this was happening, and you were planning to hide it. How long do you think you’ll be able to hide it?”
He sighed. “I’m sorry. I just didn’t want you to worry like I said. I’m trying a way to rectify the situation, and I will give them an explanation. I will also compensate the people whose families died, and I will find the people who are behind all of this to appease them.”
“When are you planning to go and do this?” I asked him.
He shook his head. “I’m not exactly sure, but why are you asking this?”
“Because I want to go with you.”
“I told you already, you don’t have to—”
“Don’t tell me what to do in this serious situation. If you don’t want me to go, I’m going to find a way to leave anyway. You know I’m not going to listen to you once I’ve made up my mind.”
He looked at me for a moment before shaking his head.
“Alright, I’ll let you go with me. But you have to be careful and stay with me at all times. The people are very angry, and you can get offended by their actions.”
If I didn’t want to go, I wouldn’t have told him.
I already know they will be very mad at me, and I’m trying to find a way to make the actions with use. And the best solution I have now is what is in my mind. Though I don’t want to tell Damien first because he might refuse and get mad at me, this is the only solution I have.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m ready for anything that comes my way. The best thing now is for everything to be okay. We need to expose them as soon as possible so they don’t hurt anyone else.”
