Chapter 97 097
Amy's POV
I think today was a success, even though we had to discover a lot more things about the difficulties that the people were facing. It also meant putting ourselves in danger by revealing our identities to the entire world. It won't be long before all attention would be on us.
Since those people want to badly take me away, they would have to do it under the noses of everyone. Now they can't rashly attack or do anything stupid, because the whole world is watching them. Now this is a plan they made to make me suffer, but now I have turned the tables on them.
It might not be easy living from now on, but at least I know that my baby would be safe for some time. I just need to go through the dangers of giving birth to this baby; after that, everything else would be fine. I would protect my baby with my life no matter what. What happened to our parents would never happen to us.
Damien came to sit down beside me as we were supposed to have some snacks at a nearby cafe. I haven't been able to walk around the pack for a long time, and now that I'm here, I wanted to taste some of the delicacies around. Most people are still having their business no matter what, because they are all stubborn people, knowing they did nothing wrong.
It won't be easy to kill most of them anymore, because they are all on alert now, especially knowing that they come from a pack where there are two Lycans, and now one is on the way. Of course they would want to do everything to protect the pack. They will also probably be very audacious again. However, we won't let anyone bully others just because they have people like us here.
“You don't know we're supposed to be facing each other, not sitting beside each other, right?” I said to Damien.
“Do you think I care about any of those rules? I want to know how you're feeling right now. Why didn't you tell me about your plan before?” he questioned me.
I thought he would be upset asking me this question, but he wasn't. He seemed genuinely concerned about me. I think he doesn't mind hiding it anymore from the entire world since he already showed his dominance a lot of times to everyone. The problem is that me—I'm the one holding him back.
“I thought about it for a long time, and this was the only solution I could come with,” I said. “You know it's not easy to calm everyone who has lost their family down. This was the only way we could make them believe us.”
He shook his head. “This wasn't the only way. They can't do anything. If they don't like being in my pack, they can all leave. I don't really care. If this puts you in danger, I will kill everyone.”
I smiled and pinched his cheeks. “You should stop being grumpy sometimes. It's going to make you look so old. Try smiling at your people and putting yourself in their shoes to see how you have to react to things.”
“I put myself in their shoes for so many years. I don't want to do that anymore.”
I understood how he felt about it. He took so many responsibilities, even getting hated by everyone in the world. I'm not explaining to them because he didn't mind taking the responsibilities for things he didn't do.
Even though his people might be innocent of everything, it can't be denied that they haven't done some other things after those times. All these years and he still has to take the responsibility for it, getting hated by everyone while his people get the kind of security they have now.
I took his hands in mine to comfort him. Even though I can't say that I know what he feels or what he has gone through, at least I know the feeling of being expected to do a lot of things by people who are not even close to you.
And the ones you call your friends always looking down on you because you don't have what they have. Mocking me for not having a wolf was part of the reason that Damien and I got close in the first place.
“I understand how you feel. I won't force you to speak nicely to them, but you know they won't fear you too much if you be a little nice to them,” I told him.
He bobbed his head in agreement. “Fine. I'm going to try my best to be nicer to them, but I can't promise it's going to work.”
I smiled again. “At least you're willing to try, which is a great development for you. Don't worry, after you develop feelings for your people, you'll understand how they actually feel.”
Why did I even say this? It's not like he doesn't have feelings for his people. He just has a sense of duty, which is to protect them, as this is what he has been trying to do since childhood. But now I don't think it's like that. Even though it seems like he only feels the sense of responsibility towards them, I still think there's room for change.
“Now that things are settled, let's just have something and get out of here. You need to rest, and I also called a doctor to check on you,” he replied to me.
We were eating cakes together, behaving happily, and I seemed to have almost forgotten that it's a little chaotic out there. Now that we have revealed our identity, everyone that passed by would stop to stare at us, and they would only leave after Damien looks at them like he's going to kill them.
“I think you're right. We should just go home to avoid all these eyes on us,” I suggested.
He wanted to say something, but I gave him a signal. Now even the café we went to stopped working or accepting anyone else when we came in. Of course, I thought it was out of respect for us, but now I think they're just scared of Damien.
Just like I thought, and as always, my brother sent me lots of messages that I was not responding to because I didn't know what to say to him. I might have made a fast decision, but it's my choice, and I have the right to make a decision about it.
They made this decision for me, all these years without asking for my opinion. Now it's time for me to say what I really want, and it's to stop hiding from the world. At least those people won't be able to openly attack me anymore unless they have a large army that can conquer the entire world.
