ESCAPING THE DARK ALPHA

Rage

Aurora's pov

Damien, what are you doing here?

He smiled plopping down on the ground.
"Come, join me, I promise I won't  bite" He smiled tapping the ground beside him.
I reluctantly settled down on the floor leaving a huge space between us.

For a moment there was silence between us, the only thing I could hear was the rustling of the trees and the birds chirping.

"I know you're afraid of me Aurora" He spoke.
But I assure you, you don't have to be afraid because I'm nothing like my brother, Ryan"

I stared at him to see if he really meant what he just said.
He maintained a stoic expression. I couldn't tell whether he's lying or not.

"I heard what he did to you and how he had forcefully marked you. I'm truly sorry. You definitely didn't deserve to be treated in that way and whatever Michael had done to my family has got nothing to do with you" He said turning his gaze from the lake to me.

"It's okay if you don't like me. I wouldn't blame you. I know you think I'm a creep but I guarantee you I'm nothing of that sort"

I don't know whether to believe him or not but it seems like he's sincere.

"So are we good?"

I don't trust easily so you will have to give me sometime. After what your brother Ryan had done to me, I'm a little skeptical of trusting you.

Damien smiled. "I understand we're you're coming from but you must know I wouldn't hurt you.
I know how important you are to my brother. It's the first time I've actually seen Roman so happy in years and you're the one to thank for that"

Would you like to go for a swim? He offered as he stood up and took of his shirt. I quickly looked away feeling embarrassed.

You go ahead, I think I'm going to return to the mansion. I said getting up on my feet and dusting the dirt off my clothes.

He sighed picking up his shirt and slipping it back on.

What's wrong? I asked. Aren't you going for your swim?

Maybe another time. I don't want you wandering in these woods all by yourself who knows what might be lurking inside. I'll escort you to the house.

Thanks that's nice of you.

You're welcome. He smiled, motioning for me to walk first.

As soon as we entered the house one of the Omega's run towards us, the woman looked as if she just saw a ghost.

What's the matter? Damien asked the omega.

"It's the alpha" She answered looking my way. He's furious.
Just then I heard a loud crash upstairs.
Where the fuck is she? Roman roared.

My heart lurched. I was now visibly shaking with fear.

I jumped when Damien touched my shoulder. It's okay, don't be afraid. I'll have a word with him. He said, giving me a small smile.

Get your fucking hands off her! Roman thundered standing in front of us.

How did he get here so fast? I didn't hear him come down the stairs.

Aurora, go to your room. I'll handle this. Damien urged placing his hand at the small of my back and
gently pushing me into the direction of the stairs.

I swallowed glancing at Roman who was almost ready to pounce on Damien.
Go! Roman bellowed startling me, with his gaze locked on Damien.

Without sparing them another glance I shot up the stairs and into the nearest room which was the library, locking the door behind me.
