HAVING DINNER WITH THE PACK MEMBERS
Smith was thrown against the tree, then he moved closer to me. Surprisingly, I wasn't scared of him; he came close to where I was sitting and licked my wound clean. I shifted away from him so he stopped what he was doing, why would he lick my wound? But he gave a low terrifying growl which kind of stopped me from moving.
Then I heard a cracking sound and saw as he turned into his human form. He removed his jacket covering me up with it.
"Damn it flower, why the hell did you go that far?" He murmured as he swept me off the ground carrying me in a bridal style.
"Put me down now, why do you care about me?" I cried out, wriggling my body. But it didn't shake him a bit. I looked toward Smith and saw him groaning in pain as he just regained himself from the attack that just happened seconds ago.
"He is in pain," I whispered, pointing at him still wriggling in his hands, wanting to go meet Smith.
"Stop it, Selena!" Damien gave a very rough heartily growl, glaring badly at me, which kind of made me squirm on his hands.
[If you don't want to get me killed on time, do what he wants, I am fine. He was just mad that I couldn't protect you.] I heard Smith in my head again.
We got close to where he was, he stood from the ground and bowed to Damien who just walked past him not acknowledging his presence.
Damien has been walking for some time now with Smith trailing behind us. Finally, I began to see the familiar surrounding signifying we have gotten to the pack.
As we walked into the pack house, the members bow when they saw Damien walk inside, he didn't even concede it, he just walked into the elevator, pressing the top floor with me still in his hands. He still didn't look at me.

The elevator dinged, and he walked out of it, taking me to his room. Getting inside, Sophie was inside already.
"What the heck are you doing here?" He growled as he lay on the bed. I look at the white T-shirt he is putting on soaked with my blood. Then I suddenly sit on the bed not wanting to stain his bedsheet.
"The hell Selena, where were you? You got me worried and what happened to you?" Sophie asked, staring at me shocked not answering Damien's question.
"A rogue attack," I answered, looking down in guilt. Sophie is going to get mad at me, I told her I wanted to be alone and got her worried. I should have allowed her to come with me.
"Heal her." Damien let out and walked toward the closet. Sophie closed our distance and placed her hands on my back, closing my eyes. Few seconds later she opened her eyes.
"It's healed," she whispered excitedly. Damien walked toward me, handing me a shirt and a short.
"Change to this, and come downstairs for dinner." He said and walked to the door.
"I don't feel like coming downstairs, not that I don't feel like. I mean I won't come." I replied not looking at him.
"I don't care about your wish, for now, all I care about is for you to become a better Luna to the pack. So I won't take any sort of excuses from you." He growled.
"You should at least apologize for what you did, you asshole," I screamed, stopping him from opening the door.
"I am sorry, it wasn't intentional she kissed me first. I will be more careful from now on." He said sincerely, turning to me.
"But, you are also going to promise me you won't throw yourself into danger because you were annoyed by me. I don't know what I would have done, if anything bad happened to you," He said again.
Annoyed, I turned to Sophie but was surprised by her expression. "Sophie Is there a problem?" I asked.
"I can't believe my egoistic douchebag of a brother just apologized to you," Sophie said, stunned.
I rolled my eyes and touched the place where I was having an injury but I didn't feel any pain. "Wow, your healing power is very strong. Thanks for always being there." I said smiling. But Sophie wasn't returning it.
"Sophie…."
"Remember you said when I healed you, that you were the one who controlled me to do that??" She asked.
"Yeah, but I don't know yet because I was told so," I replied.
"When I was choking Damien, I wasn't the one behind it. I was furious but not up to choking him, I won't even want to get on his bad side." Sophie explains.
"Make me understand what you are trying to say,"
"Are you not the one behind what happened to me, did you wish anything on your mind? You know like what you did the other day." She explained.
"Nah, I didn't do no such thing," I answered.
"But the feeling I got was more powerful than the first one I had." She said again.
"Sophie I didn't…." The knock on the door stopped me from saying anything.
Sophie went to open the door and was having a conversation with the person by the door. I went into the bathroom to have my bath and change into the new clothing given to me by Damien.
"Who was that?" I asked Sophie packing my hair up in a ponytail.
"It was the Beta, he said the Alpha wants you down now." She answered still sitting on the bed.
"Sophie, I am scared," I confessed going to sit near her and hugging her tightly.
"It's going to be fine dear," she whispered as she patted my back and also caressed my hair with her other hand, like an older sister trying to pacify her younger sister.

"You shouldn't feel intimidated no matter the faces you see, you should stand with your head high you are the Luna of this pack and the next highest rank after the Alpha." We are inside the elevator and she was explaining to me how I should act with the members. Though it kind of calms my nerves a little, I am still scared.
When we got to the dining hall different faces were present, chattering with one another. Sophie told me a seat on the right side next to Damien, Alexandria was also on the other side which was opposite me.
All eyes turn to me when they saw me, some members who know me already didn't even glance at me if which I am happy about.
"We can all start eating." Damien boomed out. Everyone started devouring their food. Food has been passed from one person to another. Sophie put some rice on my plate and also some chicken on another plate of mine along with the soup. I dip my spoon to serve some rice. When someone decides to ruin my mood.
Alexandria decided to stand from her seat and went to serve some food on Damien's plate and the most annoying part is him not complaining. Gosh, I haven't eaten much since I woke from my vegetative state and I am damn hungry. But with what I am seeing I think I am going to lose my appetite.
"F**king go to your seat, you have no right to do that," Sophie muttered, giving a mocking smile. Some members snickered which kind of made her embarrassed and she quickly went back to her seat.
"Dam.."
"It's Alpha," Damien cut her off from calling him by his name. I sniggered when I heard what he said. Her face turn red the moment Damien said that.
"Let's make a toast for my arrival." She said raising her glass. All the park members raised their glasses except Damien, Sophie, and me.
"Enough, back to your food everyone," Damien grumbled.
I was almost done with my food when I saw someone add more to my plate. I looked and saw it was Damien.
"You are becoming too skinny, for my liking." He muttered and went back to his food. I smiled and continue I felt all gazes turn to me again. But none of them could say anything. I looked to Alexandria, she was glaring at me. I smirked and continue eating my food, not minding the stares I was getting from the members.

I looked around and saw all the members were done with their food, I was the only one remaining. The moment I saw this I stopped eating pushing my food away.
"Eat to your satisfaction," Damien's voice boomed. out.The whole members became quiet the moment Damien talked. I shake my head sideways, praying he understands what I meant.
"Words Selena, Words!" Damien growled out, scaring me. "I am satisfied," I mumbled.
"Alpha, you seem to be done with your food, why are you still on your seat wasting your time with her?" A man asked with his whole body trembling.
"Do you have a problem with me still sitting here?" Damien interrogated, irritated with his question. Making the man shudder in fear.
"I am so sorry for my question Alpha." He said again bowing continuously.
Then he stood from his seat and patted my hair, giving a very dangerous smile. "Throw him in the dungeon and make sure his tongue is cut out. I am becoming lenient with you guys that you just spit out thrash and take judgment in your own hands. This should remind you all not to forget the real me." he said in a very eerie icy tone and walked out.
