Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 144

Delilah:

I shook my leg as I recalled the moment when he had announced her as his mate. The moment he made sure that I was listening.

The moment his voice echoed through the courtyard, sharp and commanding. The way his hand wrapped around Sienna’s. The look in his eyes when he declared her as Luna. The pride in his tone. The silence that followed, before the whole pack submitted to her.

Before they bowed down to her, That stupid thing, that runt, the woman who was in charge of everything that should have been mine, they just bowed down to her.

Sienna De Luca.

Omega. Nobody.

Now the Luna.

How could a person like her just become a Luna when she was nothing more than an Omega? A lowest rank, one that he could use as a consort to breed him children.

I dug my nails into the soft leather of the armchair, unable to stop the rage bubbling beneath my skin. It burned like acid in my veins, every second of it replaying over and over in my head.

He chose her. Publicly.

He made sure that I listened.

And worse, she stood there like she had earned it. Like she belonged.

What She was nothing but something that needed to be thrown out. She stood like she earned everything that was there.

I stood from the chair in Giovanni’s office, the heavy silence around me only stoking the fury in my chest. He hadn’t said a word since watching it himself. Just sat there, his brows lowered, his fingers steepled in front of his mouth.

“I warned you,” he said casually. “You overestimated yourself against him.”

“That bond… it worked. He felt it. But he still walked away.” I sat through gritted teeth.

Giovanni remained still.

“He rejected me,” I added, hating how the words tasted. “In front of his guards as they escorted me out, he chose to reject me and then went ahead and chose her. He announced her publicly in front of the whole pack.”

“You let him reject you,” came a cold voice from the door. “I’m sorry that we could not have met sooner, but I did not really want to find it in myself to come and say hello, especially to a person that I do not want to be related to.

I turned fast, eyes narrowing when I saw her.

The person who lived the golden life that I should have had, he’ll chose her. He chose to live by her side, her mother as leverage while I was a cast out.

Lysandra.

The discarded favorite. The one who had failed long before I came into play. She walked into the room like she owned it, arms folded, a cruel smirk tugging at her lips.

“Well, look who’s already fallen from grace, I would have expected a little more efforts, but it seems to me that I was wrong.” she sneered, her gaze flicking over me. “Didn’t take long, did it? Father was holding on to so much hope when it comes to you. It is really a shame that you came out as a disappointment.”

I raised my chin, refusing to flinch. “We’re not the same. And do not compare yourself to those that are higher than you are.”

“No,” she drawled, circling the room like a predator, “you’re right. I had him once. You never even got close. All your little tricks… potions, lies… he still looked past you and saw her. Mind you, at least I shared a bed with him. You wouldn’t even spare your glance, as far as I understood.”

“No,” Giovanni said firmly. “You just underestimated them. And overestimated yourself. And you underestimated the power that the Omega has on him.”

Lysandra’s smile widened, and I nearly growled.

But Giovanni stepped between us again. “That will be your last smug smile in this room, Lysandra. Don’t forget, I cast you aside for a reason. You couldn’t break him. Now, you will watch while your sister does what you couldn’t.”

“She’s not my sister,” Lysandra said through her teeth. “Not now and not ever would she ever be my sister.”

Giovanni turned to me again. “You still have your place in this. You still have power, Delilah. Don’t let one

declaration shake you. The mark isn’t on her yet. She hasn’t been claimed. There is still time. And I believe in you.”

I took a slow breath, controlling the burn in my throat.

He was right. It wasn’t over.

Not yet.

They could play house all they wanted.

But I was the storm no one saw coming.

And I was about to tear their little kingdom apart.
