Marcus choked against the wall, his fingers clawing at Damien’s wrist while his whole body shook.
stepped closer and grabbed Damien’s arm, my voice cracking as I whispered for him to stop. My nails dug into his sleeve but he didn’t loosen his grip.
“Damien, please,” I said, pulling harder. “Stop. You’re hurting him.”
Damien’s jaw tightened. His eyes stayed locked on Marcus like he wanted to break him in half.
Marcus started crying, real tears, his legs kicking weakly.
“I swear I won’t touch her,” Marcus said, voice shaking. “Take whatever you want. Raid the house. I don’t care. Just let me go.”
Damien finally released him. Marcus slid down the wall, coughing and wiping his face, looking at me like I was a ghost he never wanted to see again.
I stepped past him without a word and headed to the bedroom.
My hands shook while I grabbed clothes and stuffed them into a bag.
Damien stood in the doorway the whole time, arms crossed, eyes sharp. I didn’t look at him. I didn’t trust myself to.
“Ready,” I said quietly.
He nodded once and followed me out. Marcus stayed pressed to the wall, eyes wide, tears still falling. He didn’t speak again.
The convoy moved the second we stepped outside. Damien’s hand touched the small of my back as he guided me into the car.
I slid into the seat and stared straight ahead.
Damien got in beside me and shut the door.
The divider rose and trapped us inside the silence.
He leaned back, eyes on the window. I raked my fingers through my hair, trying to steady my breathing. He glanced at me once, his expression was stone cold.
“You will be helping me with a meeting tonight,” he said.
I looked over, brows furrowed. “Helping you with what meeting.”
“Neighbouring alphas, you don’t know much men but these are men on my team,” he said, “you will be there.”
I swallowed and looked out the window again. “Fine,” I murmured.
I had so many questions, in this weird werewolf world, why did he need a ‘team’ and

how was my baby their saviour of some sort.
He didn’t respond abd I didn’t push it.
We rode the whole way home without another word, both of us staring ahead like nothing had just happened, like Marcus hadn’t cried, like Damien hadn’t almost killed him.
When we got home, I didn’t say anything. I just walked straight to my room and closed the door behind me.
My bag hit the floor, and I stood there for a second, staring at nothing, trying to slow my breathing.
A few minutes later, I heard his voice through the door. “Get some rest. You’ll need energy for the gathering.”
I didn’t respond. I climbed into bed fully clothed and closed my eyes, but my head wouldn’t shut up.
I pulled the blanket tighter over me and forced my body still.
At some point, I must’ve fallen asleep.
I woke up when the door opened again and two women walked in.
Neither of them spoke. They just started moving around me, pulling me up gently, brushing my hair out, fixing the straps on my dress. I didn’t ask where we were going. I didn’t want to know. My body followed them on autopilot.
They led me into a wide room filled with gold, velvet, and thick perfume. The air was hot. I blinked as five different alphas turned to look at me.
Damien stood beside them and nodded once.
One of the alphas stepped forward, looking me over like he already knew what I tasted like. “This is her?”
Another one smiled, slow and cocky.
“She looks soft,” the third one muttered, tilting his head.
“She smells… different,” the fourth one added and I noticed Damien shift uncomfortably making me wonder if they knew I was human.
I shifted uncomfortably, heat blooming in my chest.
My hands clenched by my side. I felt them staring and I tried to hold it together, but something was wrong. My whole body felt off.
My heartbeat was too fast. My skin was burning. I wiped my palms on the sides of the dress, suddenly aware of how damp they were.
The room felt too hot. I blinked hard, trying to focus, but every movement around me

made my stomach twist.
I wanted to think about what just happened, what I saw, what he did, but instead, I was clenching my thighs like I was seconds away from losing it.
Every man in the room looked… hotter. Even the sound of their voices made my breath hitch.
No. Not now.
I stepped back.
I could barely breathe. My chest rose and fell like I’d just run a mile.
The ache between my legs was so intense I thought I might cry from it.
I pressed my thighs together tighter and turned quickly, ignoring whoever was still speaking.
I needed to get out now, their voices were blurred in my head.
I ran, shoved past the guards, ignored their voices, and bolted down the hallway.
The second I got into a room, I slammed the door behind me and pulled at the straps of my dress, yanking it down, my hands shaking.
I didn’t know what was happening, but if I didn’t do something about the pressure, I’d go insane.
I sat down on the edge of the bed, chest heaving, skin damp with sweat.
My hand slid over my hip, almost instinctively, and I leaned back, ready to finally get some sort of relief…
The door opened and I instantly froze.
Damien walked in slowly, shutting the door behind him like he’d been expecting this.
His eyes dropped to my state, my dress bunched at my waist, my face burning.
“Don’t be embarrassed,” he said calmly, stepping closer.
My lips parted, but no words came out. I felt frozen, caught between panic and raw need.
He knelt in front of me, one hand resting on my knee. “It’s okay. This is normal.”
“What’s happening to me?” I asked, my voice shaky. “What the hell is wrong with me?”
His hand slid up my thigh, not in a rush, just warm and steady. “It’s the first heat. Your body’s reacting to conception.”
My eyes widened. “What?”
He nodded. “youre carrying a werewolf, it’s hard for even our women, I imagine your human body would only make that pain worse, it hits hard, your hormones are

amplifying everything.”
I blinked, confused as fuck.
“I’ll help you,” he whispered, brushing his lips against mine. “Let me relieve you of the stress.”
And then he closed his mouth over mine.
