Leah's Point of View
I couldn't believe what I heard. I know it's a long day today, but tomorrow we'll leave immediately and go to different packhouses. I looked away from Amoux and saw Damon frowning at me.
"How about our date?" His face showed regret before he looked at his shoes.
"A-Ahh, it's still a long day today. Can we still date if you want?" I felt a numbness in my cheeks because I was ashamed. Why am I ashamed of Damon? Shouldn't I be disgusted with him?
"Aha! I told you, you really like me, Leah!"
I looked at him sharply because of what he said. What is wrong with Damon? I didn't know he was assuming!
I was so annoyed that I walked away from him. I should not have said that. He might think that I like him! That's impossible because I only want Amoux no matter what I do. I walked fast and I didn't pay attention to him even though he was calling me.
Why should I notice him? I know that he will just tease me or flirt with me over and over again! I stopped when Damon grabbed my hand, so I frowned as I looked at his hand.
"It's your little one. I'm just kidding, sorry!"
"I'm not happy with your jokes, Damon! Do I look ridiculous in your eyes?" I screamed in anger because I felt like he was playing with me. Does this cousin have to play with me?
I saw Damon's sad face, so I forced myself to relax. It's not his fault that I'm angry! I'm the one who's wrong! Aish!
"S-Sorry," I almost stammered as I said that, and then I went. After all, Damon treated me better than Amoux! He doesn't care if I'm an Omega, and he still hangs out with me.
"How about you just cook me food? I want to know what it feels like to cook for you." I moved away from him as he put his arms around me. We started walking towards the palace, seeing the Lycan talking to Amoux and Anaya. while Luna was tasting tea.
"Great! I'm excited to taste your cooking, Leah!" Damon exclaimed loudly. Amoux glanced at us as if we were disturbing what they were talking about.
Lycan's face was solemn as he said this.
Amoux glanced at me then looked at Damon's hand that was on my arm. His face turned dark again, as if something annoying had happened to him.
You have to be careful because you know that your enemies are just waiting for you. "Remember you have to take care of yourself,"
I don't understand what Lycan and Amoux are talking about. It looks like we're going tomorrow. I was suddenly nervous because I felt something bad was going to happen to us.
I remembered that someone made an attempt on Amoux's life, so I became his personal doctor. What if we go there? Can we do it with just the two of us?
"Leah!" I looked at Damon because of the strength of his calling me. Why is he screaming? What's wrong with him?
"Why are you shouting? What's your problem?" I couldn't help but be annoyed with him. I suddenly stopped when I saw his sad face.
I thought you were going to cook me? "I'm asking what you're going to cook for me," Damon snorted as he removed his arm from me. I just sighed because I felt guilty that I kissed him.
Why am I like this? In fact, I should be thankful that he is talking to me or making friends with me.
"S-Sorry, yes, I will cook for you. What do you want me to cook for you?" I saw his face light up and he bit his lip. His cheeks and ears were red. What is he thinking?
Damon accompanied me to the kitchen. Fortunately, the cook was also kind and let me use the kitchen. I saw Damon just staring at me, so I felt a bit lost in what he was doing staring at me.
"Whoa! You're good at cutting!" He almost screamed as I quickly sliced each ingredient. What is he doing? His noise!
"Damon, why are you yelling? What's going on here?" Luna said, worryingly. Damon just grinned and pointed at me as I started cooking.
I bit my lip because the audience watching me grew. Why are they here? Why are they watching me? What if I make a mistake or burn the food? I will be ashamed!
"Wow! Leah, you're still a good cook," I heard Anaya say. It only took a few minutes for me to finish cooking, so I got a plate to put the food I cooked for Damon on.
"Food is only for one? Just for Damon?" I turned when I saw Amoux's deadly look. He even looked at the food I cooked for Damon as if he was angry with the food.
"Of course! The two of us were supposed to go out because Amoux and Leah were leaving tomorrow, so Leah just cooked for me," Damon boasted while staring at the food I cooked.
"Aish! You're happy that the woman cooked for you because you don't know how to cook," Amoux said angrily, then looked at me again as if threatening me.
Damon frowned at what Amoux told him. I grabbed his hand to stop him. He didn't need to hit Amoux because, after all, Amoux just didn't want a Lycan mixing with an omega like me.
"Eat first, stop talking, Damon."
"I'll stop talking if you stop me with your lips." I was stunned by Damon's words. There was a smile on his lips, as if he was teasing me. Is he talking about a kiss?
"Oh, I remember Hector before. He was such a hair for me," Luna said with a frown, then looked at Lycan.
Lycan coughed because of what Luna told him. They left after arguing, so Anaya and Amoux left us in the kitchen. The four of us just looked at each other as we walked away.
"What, Leah? Will you silence me with your lips?" Damon asked boldly. I was stunned by what he said, and it was almost hard for me to swallow.
I felt my cheeks flush as he said that. Wasn't he embarrassed that someone could hear what he was saying?
"Damon, shut up! There are people," My voice suddenly panicked because I saw that Amoux aggressively took a deep breath. Why is he pretending to be affected even though he's not really?
You don't need to pay attention to them because I'm the one you're going to kiss. "It's not Anaya or Amoux," Damon reasoned while chewing the food I cooked. I felt happy somehow because even the simple things I cooked for him seemed to love what he ate.
He was happily munching on the food I cooked, so it felt like he was caressing my heart. Damon doesn't make me feel like I'm just an omega. He doesn't underestimate me in every aspect.
At night, I need to sleep. Damon barely let go of his arms around me.
"Are you sure you're going with Amoux? I thought that something bad might happen."
"There is an enemy who wants to kill him," Damon and I said as we came to a halt in front of my room. It was quiet in the palace, and the people there seemed to be sleeping.
"Damon,"
"I'm just worried about you, Leah. I can't stop it. I know that there is something between you and Amoux, but can you let me make you feel that you are special to me? You're not just an omega, because I know you're different, "
"That's why I want you to take care of yourself there. So I also insist that you train so that you can fight when you are in danger. Don't let that put you in danger. I know you can heal me, but you can't take away my worries, "
I was stunned by what I heard from him. Tears gradually formed in my eyes when I heard that. I was thinking that Amoux would have said that to me because I knew I would be happier.
Damon caressed my cheek, then he slowly brought his lips closer to my cheek. He just smiled at me then looked away because his cheeks were red.
"Don't be disappointed if you want me to kiss you on the lips,"
I was just dumbfounded because he immediately left, as if he was ashamed of what he had done. I caressed my cheek because I couldn't stop comparing the two of them with Amoux again. Why am I only thinking about Amoux?
He has a fated mate, so I have to stop my love for him. So I'm just hurt because I always make myself dependent on him.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet? You've been standing there for a while!" I was surprised when I heard Amoux's voice. His face was dark again while looking at me.
"Is it that special that Damon made you kiss so that you were stunned for a long time there?"
"Maybe you're forgetting that we did more than kiss, Leah,"
"I can also kiss you on the cheek if I want. But why would I do that when I can taste and kiss every part of your body?"
"I'll just remind you that you're mine. Damon can't take you away from me. Do you understand? Even if Anaya is still here, you're mine." I immediately entered my room so as not to talk to Damon. I hate him, but why does every word he says penetrate me?
