CHAPTER 61

Rogue Lands...

"Are you sure you want us to switch?" Braxton asked. Dameon had called him to his room to inform him that he would be going to watch over the secret garden near Cub Creek. Luke would be returning to Rogue Lands to take over Beta duties.

"Yes." Dameon replied as his placed his shaving kit in his bag. "Luke is becoming too attached to the Dark Fairy. She already has a mate and he needs to get over her. I'm having him meet us at this damn ball as security. He can watch over Eesha."

"I can watch over myself." Eesha said coming into the room with a long garment bag. "Put your suit in here to lessen the wrinkles."

Dameon picked up the dreaded suit wanting to stomp it into the ground rather than pamper it by putting it in a "special" bag.

"Here." He said holding the hanger out to Eesha. "You put it in there or better yet burn it."

Eesha cocked a brow at him. "You wouldn't mind if I burn it? Well then put here put it on."

"Sometimes I think you want to get rid of me."

Eesha declined to answer and simply went to work on putting the tux into the bag along with the matching black and silver mask.

Dameon turned back to his Beta. "Kit and the others will watch over the garden until you get down there after the ball."

"Fine with me. I could use the break." Braxton said before leaving Dameon's room.

"Could you tell Ruby to come here. She's in the library."

"So, what's with you and that girl you brought here?" Eesha asked after the Beta had left.

Dameon walked to the door, looked both ways in the hall before shutting the door and locking it. The room was soundproof but he wanted to make sure they would not be overheard.

"What I say cannot leave this room." Dameon said. He had decided to trust his new queen. Their roles were unique and they needed to work together in order to do what was best for their people. Hundreds of rogues have gone missing and thousands of others were at risk. Trust was a must.

"Ruby was the mate of the one known as the Heartless Healer. Somehow, he was captured and killed. A born vampire Skylar is a seer, told her that she was pregnant and needed to hide the babe or they would come for her. The child will be claimed as mine so it's necessary that we are as close as possible. Our scents mix when I sleep in wolf form. People here know her and we've always been close. Now that her mate is dead, we could just say that she came to me for... 'comfort.'" He said looking ill at the implication.

Eesha nodded. "She must be special for you to go through such lengths."

"She's like a sister to me. Helped me through my darkest time after that Grim asshole murder my mate. She and Doc saved my life. I owe her a lot."

"How far along is she?"

"A week or two?"

"You both need to disappear for two or three weeks. Can't have the heartbeat heard too early then they'll be rumors."

Nodding, Dameon agreed not thinking about that aspect.

"What is she going to do while we're away?" Eesha asked.

Dameon sighed. "I guess she'll just have to stay in my room. I told Braxton to make sure she receives a tray for every meal."

Shaking her head, Eesha said, "Cooped up in your room isn't healthy for her or the babe. Jerk off in a handkerchief and she can put it in her pocket. Besides people will become suspicious if they don't see her without you. The lasting scent will warn everyone and when you announce her pregnancy it'll be more believable that it's yours when she reeks of your seed. I'll assign one of the vampires to watch over her. When the news breaks of her pregnancy then you'll have my full support and we can welcome her as Royal Consort."
