Fated To Four Alphas Even Though I Am Mute-Chapter 30: Ride With Damon
Heaven’s POV
I walked toward the carriage slowly and, to my greatest surprise, Damon actually reached out his hand and helped me up.
It was such a gentlemanly gesture, so oddly different from the usual wickedness and hardship he shows me, and it was confusing.
I could feel Sofia’s jealous look on my back as I sat in the carriage. The carriage began to move away from the pack house toward the ball.
This was the first time I would be attending a ball, and I felt nervous. I don’t like being around a lot of people because I’ve come to realize that I cause trouble wherever I go and I’m beginning to think that maybe I am actually cursed.
I sat across from Damon, keeping my eyes on my folded hands on my laps trying not to draw any sort of attention to myself. If I could actually make myself invisible right now, I would be the happiest person alive.
But I could feel his eyes on me. I was sure he was looking over my body like a pervert, and I felt my heart begin hammering in my chest. I tried to calm it down, but it wouldn’t stop.
"I can hear your heartbeat," Damon suddenly said.
I couldn’t help but blush, my cheeks turned scarlet red. I kept looking down, refusing to even look at him because I was scared
He came closer to me and I stopped breathing.
"You must think this is some romantic getaway because I let you ride with me," he said.
I shook my head quickly, still refusing to look up at him. I didn’t think this was anything romantic at all, I actually thought of it as torture.
Then his hand went up to my face and he grabbed my chin and I was forced to look at him directly.
He came so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face.
"I need to remind you of your place, but I’ll first start by reminding you of what you’re not. You are not a Luna and you’re certainly nothing to me. You are just a worthless mute mistake. Do you understand?"
I looked at him and saw nothing but hate in his eyes. Tears ran down my face and he didn’t even feel anything.
"You’ll always be a second choice to me. Always remember that," he said.
He released my face and sat back, looking out the window as if he hadn’t just destroyed me with those sentences. The tears I had been holding back for the past few days came pouring down my face as I mourned the loss of the boy that I thought would be my happiest.
I looked at him. This was the same boy who used to pick my favorite flower for me in the garden. The same boy that would tell me he loved me so much and would always tell me how special I was. And now he was making sure I knew I was worthless.
As the carriage finally entered the Silver Crest pack, I just sat there crying over everything that I had lost.
Damon’s POV
Everything I said to her felt like I was stabbing myself. My wolf was going insane inside my head,it was scratching and howling with enough violence to make my head pound.
I could feel her pain through the mate bond. It was an overwhelming physical pain in my chest. As a tear ran down my chest would hurt more.
But I couldn’t stop. I have to keep pushing her away because I don’t want to soften. I could only hate her because the way to love her is to forgive her father and that was impossible, I do it.
My Wolf kept telling me that she hadn’t done anything, that I was punishing her for something she didn’t do, but I shut him up and pushed it away.
She deserved everything I’m doing to her, after what she had done to hurt me.
And right now, Sofia was the only one I wanted. She’s the only one that deserves me and not that wolfless mute thing that hurt me.
But Goddess, seeing her crying like that was killing me.
The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Alpha Remus’s mansion. I could hear other carriages stopping behind us and I heard my brothers and Sofia laughing about something.
The coachman opened the door and I got out quickly. I wanted fresh air and some space to get away from Heaven’s smell of sadness.
Heaven stayed inside for a while, she was still fixing her face. When she finally came out of the carriage, her eyes were still red from crying even though she had wiped most of the tears, but she was still hiccuping from the cry.
My brothers glared at me. They felt her pain through the mate bond. They all knew I had said something to upset her and was being a jerk.
Suddenly, Desmond came closer to us. I thought he was coming to me, but he went to Heaven instead and took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.
"Are you okay?" he asked and I saw Heaven nod.
I looked at Damian and Dylan and they looked at me the same way.
Why was Desmond petting and wiping off her face?
Just because he spent one night with her, he has already gotten a screw off or maybe he was pretending for people around to think that we care for Heaven.
"Asshole," Desmond said to me and went back to stand with my brothers and Sofia.
I confirmed from the brotherly bond that he wasn’t pretending at all, he actually has a soft spot for Heaven which is weird. I looked at him again then at Heaven. When the hell did this happen? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
It was time to go in so I did what I knew I had to do. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to my side, and I forced myself to smile at her like she was so precious to me.
She looked up in shock and tried to move away, still hiccuping from the crying, with her green eyes wide and confused.
"Sweetheart, just stay still and smile, people are watching," I murmured low enough for only her to hear.
I was putting up a performance so that everyone in the world would see that we cherished our Luna. Meanwhile, we didn’t even care for her except for Desmond and hitch is weird.
