Chapter 23
Damon
“Any news from Ric?” I asked impatiently, trying to mask my rising anxiety.
But Jasper was always a son of a bitch. He saw through my hidden feelings most of the time.
It fills me with irritation knowing that I was almost an open book to someone.
But I was grateful it was Jasper, my right-hand man whom I trusted with my life.
His eyes narrowed as they were pinned on mine, watching me suspiciously. “They are on their way.”
Those words were enough to send relief through my troubled mind, but they didn’t erase the anxiety that was clung to my chest.
Anger rose in me as a twinge of irritation flushed through me.
Why was this journey taking forever?
The Diamond Heart pack was just a few hours away from my castle and it’s been 4 hours since Ric reported!
Why was he acting like a snail today?!
This was unlike Ric.
The instructions were simple. Get the girl out of the god-damned pack immediately after he arrives. I hope he wasn’t waiting for the conclusion of the family reunion.
I didn’t care if it was the last time she would see her parents or if she started regretting her decisions, all I wanted was the girl here alive.
Four fucking hours went by and there is no sign of Ric or the girl.
I couldn’t stop the heavy beating of my heart against my chest as a bad feeling washed through me.
That girl better not escape under his watch!
“It’s been four fucking hours! What is he driving? A Peel P50?” I flared, transferring my aggression on Jasper.
“I think you should calm down, my King.”
“Don’t fucking tell me what to do!” I turned to him, shooting him an angry look.”The Electric Suv he took should have gotten him here!”
A dazed look crossed Jasper’s face, making me regret raising my voice at him.
It would only spike his suspicion and he wouldn’t let me rest until he gets answers to his annoying questions.
Allowing Jasper to get a glimpse of the reason for my anxiousness was the last thing on my mind.
“The reason for your restlessness is because of that girl, right?” he asked while I flashed him a look of disapproval.
How dare he call her ‘that girl’
Aurora wasn’t any kind of girl.
A sarcastic chuckle formed on Jasper’s face as he slowly nodded his head. “That’s right,” he affirmed. His eyes didn’t leave mine for a second.
“I think you should leave.”
“Not until you tell me what’s going on between you and that girl,” he said stubbornly, folding his arms and fixing his eyes on me.
Stop calling her that girl!
I screamed in my mind. Telling him that would only confirm his suspicion.
I wasn’t in the mood to be taunted by him.
“Nothing,” I gritted between my teeth before looking away.
“Do I look like a fucking fool to you?”
“What the fuck do you want, Jasper? I already told you there is nothing between me and Aurora. I was just worried that Ric isn’t here yet, which is quite unusual.” I explained, hoping it was enough to convince him but he responded with a scoff.
“Since when do you care about Ric so much that you paced about your room like a hundred times, soaking your shirt with sweat and drinking whiskey?” His scoff grew louder, sending irritation to my gut.
Fuck!
How could I get overwhelmed by my feelings?
Now he will never let me rest until he gets what he wants.
“Since when did you start spying on me?” I replied, feigning anger as I hardened my face.
“Come on, don’t you dare change the question.”
“Don’t you dare force words on me! I’m still your King.” I warned, using my Alpha tone.
“You know that doesn’t work when we are together,” he sneered before bursting into a series of laughter.
The closeness I shared with Jasper was second to none. Of all people, I only tolerated his excessive behaviours…but to some length.
He was more than my best friend, my brother…he was my confidant.
I comfortably shared my moments with him, but the happy ones and the bitter ones.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He was the only one I could cry to without being judged or mocked.
Despite knowing my strengths and weaknesses, he respected me greatly and kept his boundaries. His questions and taunts only happened in private.
He was part of the people who gave me a reason to live after I lost the source of my happiness.
I didn’t know what I would do without him.
I bit the inner wall of my mouth to refrain from his contagious laughter.
“Let it out, Damon, stop trying hard,” he giggled, tapping me on my shoulder.
He was the only one permitted to call me by my name sometimes.
“Leave me alone, Jasper. Just go and do your job.” I waved dismissively.
“I will. I just want you to know that my eyes are on you. From the day she bumped into you and you helped her until now. Of all things, why would you even choose her instead of other reasonable things?” he asked, pinning his curious eyes on my bored ones.
“That’s it, out!” I ordered, grabbing him by the back of the neck and pushing him out of my room.
“You are a pain in the ass,” I lamented, annoyed by his chuckle.
“Whatever, just tell Rosa to report to me.” I mind-linked him on his way.
“You horny bastard!” he retorted, while I hurriedly blocked him before he filled my head with more annoying questions.
I heaved a sigh of relief as I walked to my desk, picking up my half glass of whiskey, and pouring it down my throat while I resumed pacing about my room.
It was finally good to be alone.
Except it would be better to be alone with Aurora.
Aurora.
Her name rang in my head, filling me with excitement.
The thought of her arrival only lengthened the bulge in my pants as I let out a soft growl.
A part of me was glad that her father’s pack was under an attack by brutal enemies and all ways of resolving it were in vain.
At least, I get to see her again. And they got the safety they wanted.
It was a win-win!
Going to her pack without a reason or ordering her into my castle would spike questions and rumours.
Anger filled me at Rosa’s audacity to burst into my room without knocking.
Only Jasper gets to do that!
“On the table!” I commanded, ignoring her seductive moves. “You will be punished for barging into my room like you own it.”
My breathing hitched as I pulled down my pants to reveal my angry pulsating cock waiting to drill into her mercilessly.
“First, open your legs wide like you opened the door, bitch!”
