“Well, she seems pretty sure” I tell him, pulling my shirt over my head. When I pulled my head through the shirt, I found him standing in front of me.
“I’m sorry, okay. I fucked up. That doesn’t change how I feel about you” He whispers, moving closer and dipping his head into the crook of my neck.
“You don’t feel anything for me Damien, the bond makes you think you do” I tell him, pushing him back.
“Why do you do that, I know you want me, Lily. Just like I want you. Why keep denying it?” He growls, annoyed.
“I’m going to find Callie, I don’t want to be around you right now” I tell him walking past him.
"She is training, where I am headed now if you want to join everyone” I look over my shoulder as he walks into the closet before removing his jeans and shirt and putting on some loose fitting shorts and leaving his chest bare. As much as I am annoyed with him, I can’t help but admire him. I feel Layla purr seeing his toned muscular body. Making Damien look up, his wolf obviously hearing her. I wonder why she can’t hear him? I thought.
“Like what you see?” Damien asked, a smile on his lips. I roll my eyes and turn my back to him, when I feel him walk up behind me, his hands going to my hips and his lips to my neck.
“Deny it all you want Lily, but I can smell how turned on you are right now” He says sucking on the skin below my ear. I squeeze my legs together, trying to ignore the throbbing feeling between them. I feel him chuckle before kissing my jaw and stepping back.
“Can we go now?” I ask, not liking the way his eyes are hungrily raking over my body. If he keeps looking at me like that, I may just very well jump his bones.
He slaps my ass before grabbing my hand walking me towards the door. I don’t pull my hand from his instead, letting him tug me along. I can feel Layla’s happiness at being close to her mate.
When we walk downstairs, I hear him growl.
“I told you to leave Tabitha,” Damien says, annoyed that she was still here.
“It's fine Damien, let's just go” I tell him, tugging him toward the door.
“I can make her leave Lily, if you're uncomfortable” I look at Tabitha. Her face pales at the thought of having him use his Alpha voice on her. I shake my head, looking at her belly.
“No, I don’t want you to hurt her baby” I tell him. For the first time since meeting her, she actually looked scared for a second before looking grateful. I have every right being his mate to make him get rid of her. Yet I couldn’t do that to another woman. Despite our disagreements, she was still a woman and one carrying a child. I couldn’t be so cruel to harm a pregnant woman, no matter how much I hated her.
Turning my back on her, I walked out the door.
Chapter 14
I walk to the training grounds with Damien; the silence is awkward and I can tell he is just as uncomfortable as me. As we get closer, I can hear the sounds of everyone training. The training ground is basically an oversized football field with different obstacles and a sectioned off area for combat training. I see Callie sparring with another girl, her head turning to me as I walk closer. The girl she is fighting takes advantage of her distraction landing a punch to the side of her face knocking her to the ground. Callie shakes it off, standing up.
She runs over, a grin on her face. “You training with us?” She asks excitedly. I shake my head.
“No, just here to watch” I tell her. The Alpha coming up behind me makes her turn back to her sparring partner and take a defensive stance.
I watch when I am suddenly body slammed to the ground, knocking the air out of my lungs. I hear the Alpha laughing before I feel his weight leave as he stands; he offers me his hand and I grab it, jerking him forward, my leg going up between his legs as I kick him. He grunts loudly, and I let go of him and jumped to my feet.
“Low blow Lily” He coughs before jumping on the balls of his feet. He removes his shirt, and I can’t help but admire his toned body as he moves. He smirks and I notice everyone moving closer, circling us, eager to see what happens.
“Let's see what you got, shorty” He says waving me forward. I feel Layla huff in my head at us being called short. We weren’t short, but standing next to the Alpha, I looked tiny and petite.
“He really wants his ass beat,” Layla says. I shrug my shoulders, accepting his challenge. He lunges forward and I sidestep, kicking the back of his knee. I chuckle when I see him drop on one knee before trying to land a kick to his face, he grabs my foot and twists making me spin and land flat on my back. Getting up we circle each other trying to gain an advantage, both dodging and blocking each other. Neither of us are gaining an advantage. This goes on for a while until I let my guard slip for a second. Seeing Tabitha walking towards us out of the corner of my eye, Damien lands a kick to my flank. I groan. He may be slower than me, but damn his blows are hard. He knocks me off balance, his hand gripping my wrist as I fall to the ground.
He steadies me before his eyes dart in the direction I am looking. Tabitha was walking toward us with a piece of paper in her hands. I shake his hand off and walk toward her. Everyone watching as I reach forward, snatching the piece of paper from her hand. She has a triumphant grin on her face like she just won the lottery. Turning the paper over, I find that it is the paternity test. I read the page contents. I find out she is Thirteen weeks pregnant. Looking down at her belly, I can see a slight bump but didn’t think she was that far along, werewolf pregnancy only lasts around Twenty-five weeks and she is halfway through already. Looking at her belly, it seems impossible for her to be that far along. Damien walks over toward me and I shove the paper in his chest. I then walk off, leaving the training grounds. I hear Damien open the crumbled piece of paper.
“Lily wait” I hear him call out but I ignore him. Layla whines loudly in my head and I run, wanting to get away from them. I can’t believe she just did that in front of half the pack. Who the hell does that? I run all the way back to the Packhouse, and can hear Damien chasing after me, but I just run faster, only stopping to open the front door.
Running up the stairs, I head to the bedroom and grab my suitcase, throwing it on the bed. I quickly start chucking my stuff in it. Not that I had unpacked much. Zipping it up, I turn to the door. Only to find Damien standing at the door, a panicked look on his face.
“Move, I am leaving” I tell him but he doesn’t budge. Shoving past him I step into the hallway and he grabs my bag ripping me backwards and taking it from my grip, he walks back into the bedroom chucking it in the walk in.
“Did you not fucking hear, I am leaving give me my bag” I tell him but he just shakes his head.
“Fine” I huff, turning around planning to leave without my things.
