Leah's Point of View
“W-What are you saying?”
Even though I was anxious, I didn't move from where the two of us were standing. Amoux will never become jealous with something nonsense like this. That cannot possibly occur.
I clenched my fist as I thought of how he used to touch Anaya's waist like it was nothing out of the ordinary for the two of them. Did he actually find it not so important when something happened between us?
However, I am aware that Anaya is the one for him, and that no matter what I do, I will be unable to refute this. There is no way that he will value me no matter what I do.
Using Damon's mind-link, he spoke to me once again, squeezing my waist even tighter until there was no more room between us.
"Don't think about him."
"Quit it!" Despite my dizziness, I attempted to push him. The issue is that I can't stop him from getting close to my body.
I had no intention of joining in on his silliness. Nevertheless, since my hands and lips were trembling, I would have just let him do what he wanted.
“Let her go,” a chilly and rough voice spoke behind me.
My body became tense and when I was about to turn around to look at Amoux, he suddenly grabbed me. It seemed as though my soul had been ripped from my body.
“Woah! What is this?” Damon also grabbed and held one of my hands and pulled it toward him.
They wouldn't let go, and as a result, my body appeared to split in two. I was clueless as the whispers of those who were watching us also grew loud.
"Don't you realise that he doesn't like what you're doing?" Amoux's tone has changed from being just frigid to feeling like a dagger that can be stuck in the listener's chest since it can hardly hear and see what he's feeling.
"Coming from you?" Damon laughed. "Why don't you ask her if what I'm doing bothers her?"
Damon dragged me once more, this time with even more force, and I nearly fell but luckily, he caught me.
Because of what Damon stated, Amoux stared at me with his red fiery eyes, waiting for a response from me. I was quickly absorbed by my emotions because of that, and I was at a loss for words.
I would have started to speak when I noticed Luna, Lycan, and Anaya standing behind him and observing the two of us. My initial response had to have abruptly changed at a glimpse.
"I-I'm okay. We were just playing." I looked at him with a smile and inhaled deeply to prevent tears from welling up in my eyes.
I swiftly backed away to place myself behind Damon while removing Amoux's hand and bowing. My entire body feels as though it has lost blood.
"That's good, then." He turned his back on me but before he could get away, he spoke again. "After this party, you must go to my room."
He kept walking away as Anaya chased him. While I was left stunned as I looked at his back which gradually disappeared from my sight.
What does he need this time?
*****
I've been walking back and forth for a while now and I don't know if I'm going to go inside or not. I keep sighing in front of his door because of nervousness. It's already midnight and the party is over, but I'm not quite ready to go see him yet because I know there are only two of us in his room.
It just yesterday afternoon when I was at my house with him till the evening. I didn't anticipate that everything would turn upside down after we came back here. That's not only my problem, knowing that I would be from Damon for training while I must teach Anaya some medicine treatment, it's making me dizzy to cope up with what's happening.
I'm going crazy wondering what to do next. I was biting my finger and stopped and took a deep breath. I don't know what he wants to tell me or needs again.
When I raised my hand and was about to knock, suddenly someone spoke behind me, causing me to halt.
"How long are you going to stand there?"
I quickly turned to him, took a step back, and leaned against the door because his face was so close to mine. I took a step back again but there was no space anymore because of his door.
When he brought his face closer to mine, I closed my eyes tightly and it seemed like I was expecting something to happen.
*clack*
"You can come in now."
Because of his cold voice, I opened my eyes again but that time, he was not looking at me. He just looked where the door was open.
"Oh, sorry." I moved a little to give him space.
When he entered, I hit my head and bit the bottom of my lip because of embarrassment. What am I expecting? That he will kiss me in front of his door?
There is no way…
When he finally got in, I just waited a few seconds before I followed him. I held my chest to stop it from beating because I didn't want him to hear it. My palm is also clenched because no matter how hard I try to get him out of my mind and chest, he seems to have a way to come back again and again even though it's not his intention.
When I got in, I didn't close the door. I feel like when it's just the two of us in the room and the door is closed, the scent of his smell makes me go insane.
"What do you need from me?"
"You're not going to close the door first? What are you afraid of? That I'm going to eat you alive?"
My heart was pounding more and more but I just kept going. "Say what you have to say."
"Why are you so eager to know? Are you going somewhere? Are you going to see Damon so you can have some love dovey time?"
"What?" I asked him with a frown. I just want to know what he needs so that I don't have to spend too much time in his room.
"Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about!" He stood up from his seat on the bed and in an instant, he was in front of me.
"Can you tell me why you called me? I want to rest."
"What does Damon need from you? Do you two have a relationship?"
Because of his question, I turned my back and was about to leave, but he grabbed my arm hard, causing me to face him again.
"If you're going to say nonsense, I'll take my leave now." I pulled my hand back to me but he doesn't want to let go.
When I looked at him coldly, I noticed the prideful mask he was wearing was slowly disappearing. But he didn't let me see that completely because he let go of my hand and his gaze became even harder.
"Next month will be the hunt rouge again. Since you will be my Personal Doctor, you have to come."
I nodded, "Is that all you're going to say?"
His jaw clenched and his restraint was obvious but he still opened his mouth to speak.
"No, there's more."
"Say everything, so I can leave."
"You'll be my personal Omega too."
I looked at him with questioning eyes but what he returned to me was a grin that made me even more nervous.
"Have you heard the words sex slave?" He asked without removing his playful yet seductive smile.
