---- Chapter 7 Damien was thrown off by my laughter. For the first time, his Alpha authority was being challenged by me. I smirked and rolled my eyes at him. "You arrogant, self-important bastard." Damien was so angry he was speechless. He stood there, pointing a finger at me, but he couldn't bring himself to actually strike his mate. I was about to walk away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist with a crushing grip. "Elena, I'm not letting you leave me again. My only mission today is to bring my mate home." "You don't understand. When I thought I'd lost you, my wolf was in agony. I was going crazy thinking about you." "T don't care how you try to provoke me this time. This Alpha isn't backing down." How pathetic.

Put her down if you value your life, or you'll regret it for the rest of it!" Damien scoffed as if he'd just heard the world's funniest joke. "What heiress? You're mistaken! She's my mate! She doesn't belong here!" He ignored everyone's warnings and kept carrying me toward the exit. I bit him as hard as I could, but he didn't even seem to feel it. I was panting. "Damien, they're telling the truth! My father is the head of the Sterling family, the owner of this empire! If he finds out you came for me, you are finished!" Damien just laughed harder, though he tried to soothe me gently. "Elena, what are you talking about? I know what you are: a desperate, lone wolf with nothing to your name.
