Shadow Shifter (On Hold)

Chapter 8

Damon's POV

I groaned as I sat up, pulling the blankets on my bed back so I could place my feet on the cold floor. I rubbed my palms over my face as I stretched my back. Catching me off gguard my ears instantly stood up as I smelled another male in the house that was not my dad's scent. My wolf snarled out loud as I quickly got up, throwing my bedroom door open as I made my way to Kora's room where the male scent was coming from, making me even angrier.

"Kora, I'm coming in." I said as I threw the door open, my blood rising as I took in the scene before me. Kora was asleep, safe and sound in her bed, but she wasn't alone. Matthews arms were tightly around her, snuggled up against her body as he slowly looked up at me, just waking up from my entry. His eyes widened as he saw my anger steaming from my face, before he started to try and explain.

"Damon, I can explain.." Be started before my temper broke. I crossed the room in a fraction of a second, grabbing Matthew around the neck and hoisting him up pushing him into the wall as I snarled at him loudly, my lips pulling back to show my now elongated canines.

Kora shot up awake from the sudden movement and yelled to me as she understood what was happening.

"Stop!" She said, trying to pull me away from him, but I only tightened my grip around his neck, cutting off his air more efficiently. "Stop!" She yelled again as Matthew started to turn pale from lack of oxygen.

"Damon!" She bellowed using her Alpha power running through her veins to get my attention. "Let him go!" She yelled with so much authority that I could help but release him, making him fall to his knees on the ground sucking in air.

"What's your problem?" She growled angrily as she scowled at me.

"What do you think is my problem? What is he doing in your bed?!" I practically screamed as I pointed to him still on his knees breathing raggedly.

"I asked him to stay here last night. He needed a place to sleep and-"

"There's a perfectly good couch downstairs." I growled, not even letting her finished her sentence.

"I wanted him here with me! Jesus, Damon. I'm not a little girl and you're not my dad. We didn't do anything. Nothing happened so just leave it alone." She said, still scowling at me. Matthew slowly got to his feet beside her and just looked blankly between us as she spoke.

"Whatever. When you get yourself knocked up because of him I'm not going to be the one to help you!" I yelled, almost instantly regretting it. I saw a flash of pain in Kora eyes as she took in my words, but she quickly hid her pain behind her anger.

"Get out." She growled as she starred into my eyes with fire burning in them. I knew I stepped over the line with that statement, but I couldn't take it back either.

"Kora.."

"Get out." She repeated, interrupting me when I tried to apologize. I just sigh and did as she said, knowing I should have left long before I let that last remark spill out of my mouth. I looked at Matthew, my face blank, and simply sighed looking back at Kora.

I didn't say a word as I walked out, screaming at myself in my head for saying such awful things to my own sister.

Kora's POV

"Kora?" Matthew said, gently touching my arm bringing my back to the world after getting lost in my thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Matthew. I didn't think this was going to be such a big deal with Damon." I apologized, looking at him.

"No, I understand. I would have done worse if you were my sister and I came in and saw that." He said softly, not moving as he spoke, looking at the door that Damon just walked out of. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair slowly waking over to sit on the edge off bed, Matthew's eyes following me carefully.
