Rogue Moon (unedited(complete)

chapter 30

My heart skipped a beat at his words. He what?...

"Sera we aren't like humans we are part animal! The things we do and say are doing to be different...the ways we act will be strange... You might even see Damien kill someone for you...it might sound strange but it's the most naturalist thing for us..."

My mind reeled as I thought back to all the times Damien protected me...the wolves...the bear...even the hunter that nearly killed him...

I stared at the ground, baffled by the mere thought of Damien being in love with...me...

"Sera mates are something we take seriously...we cherish and protect them with our lives...most werewolves only get one chance...and if their mate dies...most of the time they will die with them... It's a bond we have no control over... it's stronger than you could imaging...I've seen two people who hate each other's guts fall in love unconditionally because of the mate bond..."

My head started to throb at the mere idea of Damien being in love with me...a part of me wanted it...but something was telling me no...that it was wrong and unnatural...

"Sera?" I snapped out of my daze and blocked out the pain. Henry looked concerned and it took me a moment to go back to our conversation.

"I really hurt him...didnt I..." His silence was all I needed to confirm what I already knew...all this time I had no idea he felt so strongly for me...why did I react that way yesterday? I should have known better yet it was like something just...came over me...

"Let's go back to the packhouse ill tell you more about the whole mate thing...besides you look a little ill..."

"I'm fine...im just in shock..." He nodded before leading the way back. My heart. Ached at the thought of what had done...

I never meant to hurt him... In fact, I had grown closer to him while we were in that cabin... But everything changed once he shifted into an actual person...

Tears pricked the corners of my eyes at the mere idea of hurting Damien...even my chest felt tight. Why was I even feeling this way? I barely knew him... Why are my own feelings so strong?...

"Don't cry... let's head back..." Taking a deep breath, I walked back with Henry, my mind swirled with the thought of Damien loving me...i knew the whole mate thing might be responsible. But I still had a hard time comprehending it... If these people really do have a deity they worshiped, especially one that assigns lifelong partners then why me...why choose me to be something to Damien that might not even be possible...im born from their enemies...

Perhaps im just overthinking it...maybe Damien is just mistaken...

We arrived back at the 'packhouse' and immediately amber ran up to us with a small squeal and hugged me. "You two made up right?! If he didnt say sorry ill kick his ass for you!"

Henry scratched the back of his head and looked away. "I apologized for my mistake...i just didnt know..."

"Hmph...well as long as sera is fine with that then so am I..."

I gave amber a small smile in return. "It's okay...i forgive him...i also apologized as well..."

Amber let me go and sighed. "I'm just glad you two are back to being friends! I would never want to pick sides...

"wait, what are the chances of you not picking my side?!.." Henry suddenly seemed genuinely concerned as amber giggled and pat his head.

"Depends how angry I am!" With that, she made her way inside and Henry quickly followed her inside like a lost puppy.

"B-but amber!" A smile adorned my face as I watched them... They looked so nice together, and despite Henry's cool act he always turned to mush when amber is brought into the picture.

I wonder if Damien would act the same way...

Wait...where did that come from?...

A familiar voice from behind spooked me, bringing me out of my thoughts, and a chill ran down my spine.

"Well... I always thought you seemed a bit strange...now the entire pack knows..."

Spinning around I was met with the sight of Jack looking down on me with a smirk. I stepped back from the close proximity and he feigned a look of hurt. "Aw come on Sara I thought we were friends..."

"We aren't friends, I barely know you...and my name isn't Sara! "

He tilted his head to the side with the same look, before smiling. "But Sara is such a good name for someone as timid as yourself..." He stepped forward and I mirrored the action until I was backed up against the door. Where were Henry and amber?!

"I think the pet name suites you..." He stood less than a foot away and a familiar feeling of a heavy pressure filled the air, it was nearly the same as that time Damien was facing off against Thomas, though not as strong...

"Oh so it's true...your kind can resist a werewolf's domination... You surprise me more and more each day...i wonder what else your hiding..." He reached out for me and I pressed myself against one of the double doors.

The door to my left burst open as a group of boys flooded out the door. Jack had to quickly step away to avoid getting trampled, and I felt the pressure in the air disappear. Once everyone was through I slipped through the open door and rushed upstairs.

I somehow ended up in Damien's room instead of mine, but I didnt care... Locking the door I sat down on the edge of his bed to calm my beating heart. It didnt seem like he followed me but amber had told me wolves have an incredible sense of smell...and werewolves even more so...

Laying back on the bedding I was able to quickly relax... I wanted nothing more than to lay down with Damien holding me...my headache came back and I didnt understand why....why would I want Damien?

After a while it subsided and I forgot whatever I was thinking about beforehand...

Something in the back of my mind was telling me something was wrong but I couldn't tell what it was...

Curling up on my side. I drifted off to sleep after a long day.
