DAMIEN & SELENA

"Flower, Thank Goodness you are fine," Damien hugged his mate like she was going to disappear again. The shaken Selena was still crying. Sophia stood by the door shamefully not knowing what to do. She recalled Selena pleaded with her not to leave but she didn't listen. Seeing her now she saw how terrified the little girl was.

Selena hugged Damien tightly, not wanting to release Damien any time soon. She could recall what the lady told her. Even if she doesn't understand this mate's stuff, she doesn't want to let Damien go. The only reason why she was accepted here was that she is Damien's mate. She couldn't bear to go back to the ones that mistreated her.

"What the hell happened? Sophia said you were not in the room when she came in,"  Damien asked when Selena was finally relaxed, they were both sitting on his bed now, with Selena still hugging Damien.

"I don't know what happened, I just found myself in an unknown environment and a beautiful woman appeared to me telling me to find out who I am," Selena explained with a muffled voice, still not releasing Damien. She couldn't explain what was going on with her these past two days.

Ever since she had regained consciousness, she felt like she couldn't do without Damien, a strong connection was binding them together. Even if she doesn't know him much, she trusts him.

"A beautiful woman?" Damien asked, trying to pull her to look at him, but her hold was tight so he decided to let her be.

All this while, Sophia sat at the edge of the bed, looking at the couples. She then suddenly felt a pang in her heart remembering her mate.

"Yes, she also appeared in my dream when I was unconscious." Selena slurred still holding him. It was two in the morning, she had gone through different stress, so she must be so tired. Damien didn't question her anymore, allowing her to sleep. But he recalled he hadn't seen her eat anything since he came back to the pack.

"She needs to eat something, get the cook to make something," Damien told his sister who didn't hesitate before disappearing.

He felt heavy breath, fanning his neck indicating she was dozing off and would sleep soon. Not wanting her to sleep. He tried to pull her away from him gently, but the hold was too strong so he couldn't do it gently. "I want to sleep," she whispered in her sleep with a pouting lip. making her so cute. [Mate is so cute ] Damien wolf purred.

Damien was so lost in her beauty that he forgot to breathe out. Until his sister nudges him with her shoulder, smirking.

"Regretting you pushed away and also for being a stupid asshole." Sophia snickered, annoying Damien.

"One thing is calling me stupid and the other an asshole. I am beginning to regret spoiling you a lot." Damien growled, but it didn't scare Sophia this time because she knows he won't her, since his mate is now back in his arms.

"She doesn't eat much, so it might be hard to make her eat," Sophia said when she saw that the shaken girl was now asleep.

"Flower, you need to take your medication and the hell you haven't eaten…." 

"I don't want to eat,.." she whispered again, almost crying.

"You are as thin as a broomstick, and you keep saying you don't want to eat. I am very sure you haven't had anything today," Sophia yelled, earning a glare from her brother but she pretended not to see him. She jerked Selena up to make her open her eyes.

This time Selena forced herself to open her eyes when she knew Sophia was letting her go anytime soon. "I will only take in a little," she said again, forcing herself to sit well, so she can eat.

Sophia quickly pushed the food on the stool in front of her. Damien, knowing how slow she eats volunteers to feed her.

~~~~~~

"Promise, after the last one I won't force you to take anyone again," Damien assured her but she stubbornly declined it, he has been saying this for some time now. Selena kept saying she was filled up, but she hasn't eaten to his satisfaction, that was why he keeps persuading her to eat.

When Damien saw he couldn't convince her anymore, he gave up. He went for her medication and gave it to her. Then he helped her change her dress. He has been changing her dress ever since a maid found scars on her body. He doesn't bathe her, only her sister does so. He was still curious about why she got those scars. 

When he first found the scars, he was so mad that he nearly killed the doctor who had treated her and never told him about it. The doctor had pleaded for mercy saying she didn't open up to him and also begged him not to tell anyone, so as not to get them worried. He had also told him that those scars on her were that of abuse. Jane also explained everything that happens between them to him. She couldn't let him find out from someone else, his sister wasn't an exclusion. He was so mad at the three of them for keeping it from him. He also criticized himself for being stupid, and pushing her away, without knowing her.

He has always wondered who would do such to an innocent girl like her, but he still hasn't gotten an answer. And also she wasn't ready to share it. He is also still confused about how the hell her scars disappeared.

"Damien," he heard his mate call his name getting his attention, he has never had his name being called by anyone else. But when she calls him, he always feels satisfied.

"What is it, my Flower?" He asked, smiling, as he stared at his little mate as she tried to force her eyes open.

"Why are you the one changing my dress?" She asked tiredly. "Because only I have the right to, now go to sleep." He answered grinning stupidly at how cute she is.

"But," she tried to sit, even if she was damn tired and sleepy.

"There shouldn't be any but, flower. You are in safe hands," Damien said again, adjusting the cushion for her to rest her head. The tired girl didn't have the strength to ask any questions so she went back to sleep. After Damien was sure she was asleep, he stood up to go talk with his gamma. He has been trying to mind link him but he keeps cutting it off. But, Selena held his hand tightly, stopping him from going.

"Please don't leave. I am scared." She whispered.

____________

Two women could be seen sitting, staring at the mirror before them. Which was shown as both the Alpha and his mate cuddling one another to sleep.

"Do you think they are starting to have feelings for one another now?" A voice said smiling.

"I don't like her, I have a bad feeling about her, she doesn't seem to be from our kind." The other woman said, annoyed, the wine she was drinking started bubbling up. 

"Fiona, you are going to melt that cup with your anger." The other lady told her, but she didn't seem to be listening. She was freaking mad with what she was seeing.

"Why are you this mad? You should be happy he now has a mate and would kind of….."

"She is too weak to be the Luna queen, we don't want the person who would destroy the boundary we have made for years. If the formal king wasn't too weak, many werewolves wouldn't have lost their mate." She screams out, making every single thing around her break into pieces. 

"Fiona! Get a grip of yourself, are you happy seeing him be the shadow of himself all these years. I am pretty sure the moon goddess has her reason for blessing him with a second chance mate." The other lady tried to calm her but it didn't work a bit.

"Never! Love rules and our race nearly ended. I can't let that happen again. I will make him mark Alexandria as his mate. She is strong enough to be his mate!"

"What! Are you trying to go against the moon goddess rule? She has her reason for giving him a second chance mate. I am also pretty sure if you give Selena a chance, she……"

"Don't you dare mention her name! I am going there tomorrow, he will mate with whoever I chose for him."
