Chapter 7 CASSIE join them in the dining room . The table had My mom called my name from the kitchen which gave me no choice but to j already been set . Mom was sitting next to him . Alpha Damien . One glance at him and heat pulled on my face . He was hot . He had a tattoo on his huge biceps . I didnt have the time to read what was on it but it made him look sexier . Mom pointed at the seat opposite them so I drew it out and sat there , focusing on my plate while Mom filled it up with food . I could feel my heart pound in my chest as anxiety grew in my belly , misting toward my heart . Could he be looking at me ? Did he see that my eyes were swollen because I had barely slept ? My cheeks suddenly heated up when I remembered him kissing me the night before . Goodness , it was so good , my pussy was pulsating again . Quickly I pressed my thighs together because I didnt want him telling my arousal . Worse , Mom could smell it and she would find out that I had been crushing on her husband . Why did you choose to stay up there ? She asked as I sat down on the seat I had drawn out . Assignments , I stated simply . You can do that later . Eat with us . She smiled but I said nothing I didnt even smile back at her which was weird of me . Cassie ? Mom called , making me raise my head . She had her eyes on my food , making me notice I hadnt even touched the cutlery or eaten the meal . What are you thinking about ? She asked , looking at me . Although she was sitting closely beside Alpha Damien , I didnt make the mistake of turning my gaze to him . Your cheeks are pinkening . She pointed out with an amused expression making me touch my cheeks and at the same time I looked at Damien hoping he wouldnt see them . Who was I kidding ? The moment I glanced at him , I felt his intense gaze on me . It felt like heat scorching me the moment I beheld them Wait , are you shy ? Mom asked , still amused . I glared at her for pointing that out . You hardly said anything . You didnt even argue when I asked you to drop your assignment . I know how much persuading T have to do to make you drop them and eat with me . She added , adjusting in her seat . I saw Alpha Damiens hand extend to her waistline . He brushed his fingers along her exposed skin . My heart tightened in my chest . I felt a pang of pain settle in my belly . I had to force myself to look away from his hand which was clutching my mothers skin . I hated it with every part of me . Yet , there was nothing I could do . I did not have the power to stop it . Why did the moon goddess have to treat me this way ? Did I offend her with my past life ? That had to be it Because I dont have anything to say , Mom . I picked up the spoon and tried to distract myself with food No , you are argumentative . You like to prove your point , by dropping one or two reasons . You are shy . Your stepfather is making you shy . She laughed as though this was a comic show . Her laughter annoyed me in a way that I couldnt explain , It wasnt like I hated my mother . I could never. Damien , she is shy around you . She added , not dropping the topic even when I didnt say anything . I was trying not to speak . Not to defend myself because if I did the pain in my heart would force me to cry . Dana came forward , peering at them with my eyes . Her hurt quickly seeped and rolled with mine , worsening the pain I felt in my heart . I whimpered but bit down on my lips to prevent Mom from hearing . When I looked up , Lsaw Damiens eyes on me , and for a second , I thought I saw pity . 1/3 18:21 Wed , Jan 8 BGB . Chapter 7 The next second , be held Mouys hand and smiled at her . He had never smiled at me . It is not her fault , it should be my aura affecting her . Most people are shy around me at first , leaving the innocent girl Mom chuckled and nodded before raising her hand in the air . You are right . I is just fun to see Cassie is shy around someone . She is always confrontational Mom pointed out swallowing a lump of mashed potato . See he defended us ! Dana uttered in my head , her excitement rushing into me . I scoffed . I was sure he only did that to distract his wife from seeing how much pain his affection toward her was causing me . I wished I could leave the dining room but there was something about the matebond , it pulls you closer even when you wish to be apart . His smell was alluring , pulling me to him . I didnt want to leave because he smelled like rose oil . The most beautiful scent in the world . His voice sent tingles down my spine , each time he spoke, I melted unintentionally . It wasnt something I could myself to stop . It was supposed to be a blessing among lovers but it seemed to be a curse for me . I didnt even have the time to think about my boyfriend anymore since I was engrossed with the abomination of a man . Mom , I am not shy ! I said . You are not ? Okay , hold a stare with my husband for thirty seconds , she said , raising her head proudly and grinning . My husband ? Those words smashed my head but I did the effect well . I tried , tilting my jaw to gaze at him . Alpha Damien smirked and sat back , placing one hand on the top of Moms chair . He had a relaxed and calm face , his green eyes glimmering under the warm light of the chandelier in the dining room . Fuck , he was sexy . I couldnt do it . If I continued to stare at him , my juice would soak up the chair and I would be exposed . I averted my gaze and Mom clapped her hands victoriously like she won a lotto . I adjusted in the seat to conceal the one that had soaked my party . It is fine , Cassie , he said . My heart fluttered when he mentioned my name . He called me in a kind of way that I couldnt resist . My name was sweet on his lips as if it was made for him to pronounce it . It was delicious I wished to lick his lips as my name roll off them . Cassie , I am thinking that you should transfer to the packs college . It is better than the one you attend anyway . I want you to be close to me . I want us to be a happy family , she said . Happy family ? With my mate ? I scoffed inwardly feeling like I was stabbed in the heart with those two words serving as a two edged sword . What do you think , Damien ? She asked him . I stilled as I waited for his response . I didnt know the reason . Perhaps it was because I would obey anything he said . I would do whatever he wanted without batting an eye . This was a curse for me . Hm , I think we should let Cassie decide that . It is her life after all , he said , Tell me why I hated that he didnt care to decide for me . It felt like he didnt want to have anything to do with me and that hurt Goodness , something was wrong with me . I needed help ! 18:21 Wed , Jan 8 GB G Chapter 7 Cassie , what do you think ? Mom looked at me and I met her gaze . You know what ? You dont have to make the decision . You are staying ! SEND GIFT
