Damien's POV.
She shifts quicker than I can react, her anger spilling over and Layla taking control. She bares her teeth at me before ripping into me. Her anger burning hot as I am thrown into the wall, her canines biting into the flesh of my leg. I kick her off and she shakes out her fur. She lunges forward and I step out of the way.
"Layla stop, I don't want to hurt you" I try to tell her but she doesn't listen, instead lunging again, her claws tearing through the flesh of my chest. I let Darian forward, feeling the shift take over, and Layla hesitates, watching as I shift into my wolf.
He snaps his teeth at her and she growls before I watch her claws scratch the marble floors. The sound made my ears ache. Darian has no choice but to defend himself as she lunges, and we both start tearing each other to pieces. She lunges for my throat and I pivot, her teeth instead latching hold of my back leg. I feel pain spread up over my leg. Darian throws her off by biting her tail, sending her hurtling into the wall. Layla is savage when angry, and it takes all our strength to subdue her.
Layla snaps her teeth close to my face and I spin, biting into the back of her neck, her blood spilling onto the floor as he rips a chunk of her fur off. She whines loudly, dropping her head; she doesn't give up though and turns, biting into my side.
Moving Darian bites into her throat, pinning her down.
"Shift" I command but she doesn't. Using my Alpha voice, I scream for her to shift back, Darian throwing the full weight of his command behind it with me. She whines loudly, finally recognising his voice in her head. She shifts, leaving Lily butt naked and my wolf's teeth wrapped around her throat. He lets go and I feel his guilt wash over me, we injured Lily pretty badly, he nudges her with his nose before licking the wound on her hip and across her ribs.
She rolls onto her back and groans. Before crawling onto her hands and knees and coming face to face with my beast. She doesn't fear him though, instead grabs his fur pulling herself up. Her wounds healing, but not fast enough as she leaves a blood trail as she walks toward the stairs.
She sits on the bottom step and he follows, nudging her with his nose, she pushes him away, his fur brushing up against her leg.
"Just go away" She whispers, pulling at her hair with her hands. Shifting back, she looks up and I see tears run down her face. Sitting beside her on the step, she leans her head on my shoulder and I rest mine on her head.
"I'm sorry" I tell her. She doesn't reply but moves to get up. My wounds are completely healed already, Lily's not so much. She groans as she puts weight on her leg, blood pouring down her leg from her hip. Moving, I pull her onto my lap, forcing her legs around my waist before standing and carrying her up the stairs toward the bathroom. She rests her head on my shoulder and I feel myself relax and feel her go limp against me.
"I told you not to fool around with that Omega" Darian says, pissed off with me as well. I don't reply, knowing he is right.
"You need to make this right Damien" He tells me but for once I didn't know how. All I know is I don't want to live without Lily, so I will have to find a way.
Lily POV
I felt Layla give me control back, making me panic that something had happened. Opening my eyes, I find Damien's wolf with his teeth wrapped around my throat. Not tight enough to cut off my air supply, but hard enough that I feel pressure on my windpipe. He lets go and steps back; he nudges my hip with his nose before licking it. I hiss at the sudden pain where he is licking, and I groan sitting up on my side on my elbows.
My entire body feels like a bear mauled it. Looking at the size of his wolf, he isn't far off being almost bigger than one. My bones aching from shifting back so suddenly. My head is pounding from the bright lights of the room. I crawl to my hands and knees, Damien's black wolf watching me. The floor is slippery with my blood and his, staining the marble floors.
Grabbing the wolf's fur, I used him to help get up. He doesn't react even though I know it would hurt with me pulling on his fur. Standing on shaky legs, I walk to the stairs before collapsing on the bottom step, the effort to walk up them, far too great then what I can accomplish right now.
Damien's wolf's watchful eyes staring at me and I push his head away, his fur brushing against my leg. His wolf is huge. Like a bear, and not a small one either. His sharp teeth next to my face, yet he doesn't attack me as he stares. Instead, he whines low, like he feels bad for hurting me. I run my fingers through his fur and he whines.
"Just go away" I tell him as he continues to whine, pulling at my hair as my head pounds. I hear his bones start snapping. I grit my teeth at the sound, closing my eyes. I suddenly feel warm skin press against my side and the familiar tingles from the bond. I rest my head on his shoulder and can smell his masculine, mouth-watering scent, calming me as I relax against him.
"I'm sorry" He says and I can hear that he means it. I don't reply, any words I wanted to say stuck in my throat as I hold back my emotions, not wanting them to spill over.
Damien rests his head on top of mine. Before kissing my hair. I put my hand on his shoulder and push off, trying to stand up and attempt to get upstairs. I just want to shower and go to sleep. I was mentally and physically exhausted.
