DAMON
I was still trying to get my head around the fact that Mia was the cause of the rogue attack. Did I believe it at first?
No. Did I take my time to think about it and start to doubt her? Yes.
I don't know, but I was finding it hard to believe it because I have known her my entire life.
She was practically like family to me. What would she gain if she was the cause of the rogue attack?
That question kept popping up in my head. I couldn't think of a good reply to that. I know that because of the position that Cat found Mia and me in, she must have been so confused, and she didn't let me explain anymore.
She was currently with Melissa and Faye. I saw them while I passed by and walked to my office. I needed to give her some space to think about everything, then I could talk to her when she was ready and wanted to hear what I had to say.
“Alpha Damon. A letter came in from the Skylight Pack.” A guard mindlinked me, and I froze. What else could Alpha Vance want again?
He came earlier on just because of some cookies and started asking about Catherine. Could he have finally found out that she was here?
“Okay then. Do the normal procedures for the letter, then have it delivered to my office.” I mindlinked the guard back, and he understood.
We always followed the normal procedure of checking when other things from other packs were sent to our pack.
A lot of Alpha’s and Luna’s have been murdered just from them opening a gift bag or a letter due to trusting everyone.
I was almost killed, and that's when I realized that I had to do this all the time. Not out of fear but for the protection of my pack.
My pack needed me. They needed an Alpha, and if something happens to me, then there will be no one to protect them.
“What could be in the letter? It can't be good news, of course. It's either they need help from our pack or it's about Catherine.” I thought to myself, and I was very sure about that.
“You may come in,” I said before my door could be knocked on. I could already smell his scent from a mile away as he approached my door.
“Is that the letter?” I asked him, and he nodded and stretched out his hands to give me. “We did thorough checking, and if you are still doubting, I can open it here to check it for you, Alpha,” he said, and I chuckled before grabbing the letter.
“If you think that I am going to let you risk your life for me, then you must not know your Alpha,” I said to him, and he smiled.
“Nothing must happen to you, Alpha, because we all need you, so putting my life in danger for you is my little way of saying thank you for all you do,” he said, and I chuckled. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Stop saying silly things. You can thank me in other ways. By becoming the best patrol guard or the best warrior. That's a better way.” I said to him, and he nodded but made no attempt to leave the office, so I raised my eyebrows at him.
“I just want to be here when you open it,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.
“Leave already, Jamal,” I said to him, and his eyes widened. “You know my name, Alpha,” he said in shock, and I held myself back from laughing hard.
Was I that strict to the point that knowing my pack members' names was such a big deal?
“Yes, you are strict, and many are also afraid of you. Aren't you aware of that? You can also be friendly sometimes, so it must be confusing to them.” My wolf said to me, and I chuckled.
“You can leave. I will call you if I need you again.” I said to Jamal, and he bowed before leaving the office.
Immediately he left, and I touched the envelope gently. I could feel the negative energy in the letter, so it was not good news.
I opened the content of the envelope, took a letter out of it, and then laid it on my table to read it.
"Firstly, I want to apologize for barging into your pack again with the self-proclaimed desire to see Catherine just because I tasted some cookies. That was wrong of me.
I'm glad I did that because it wouldn't have come to my attention that Catherine was indeed there.
She is my mate, and I am sure you are aware of that.
You keeping her with you while knowing that means that you are indirectly asking for war from the Skylight Pack by keeping their Luna.
I will be waiting for your response, and it would be much better if you brought her here without any drama. This is where she belongs.”
The pen in my hand broke to pieces from the way I was clenching my fist.
A growl escaped from my mouth, and I just had the urge to run over there and rip off his head.
How dare he act like they treated her well? After everything that they made her go through,.
“I will fucking kill him with my bare hands,” I said, and I was about to rip the letter into pieces but then stopped because it might come of use later.
We have already prepared everything for the fake mating ceremony. This would be the perfect time to trap him inside.
I picked up my pen and a new letter so that I could write a letter back to them. “It is my honor to formally invite you to the mating ceremony of Catherine Thames and Damon. I hope you can make it, and if you have any problems with your arrival, then you must let us know so we can help.”
I wrote back and then put the invitation card in.
“Jamal I need you to send the letter back to the Skylight Pack.”
