Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 18

I gritted my teeth. “You think I don’t know that?”

“No,” he said simply. “I don’t think you do. At this point I don’t even think you know anything that you’re doing, nor do you understand how big or small it is.”

His words were a low blow, but I refused to let them get to me.

“Lysandra is gone,” he continued, watching me closely. “She sent her father’s men to collect the last of her things this morning. You let her walk away without a fight. Why?”

I hesitated for a second, my mind flashing back to the night before, to the way she had looked at me with something close to disgust.

“She made her choice,” I said. “And I made mine. I was not going to fight her for it.”

Kael studied me for a long moment before shaking his head. “You don’t even know what your choices are anymore. Because as far as I’m concerned, you also sent your men to bring her back here.”

“Your spies work well, don’t they?” I narrowed my eyes. “I know exactly what I’m doing. And I don’t need you to boss me around or father me as if I am some kind of teenager.”

He let out a humorless laugh. And I knew that he was angry. Of course he would be. He was into getting things going his way.

“Do you?” His gaze darkened. “Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’re unraveling. You want to punish Sienna for something you were just as responsible for. You think keeping her here will solve everything, but you haven’t even figured out what the fuck you’re going to do with her.”

I said nothing. Because I hated that he was right.

The silence between us stretched before he spoke again, his tone firm.

“You already told her she’s not taking the child anywhere. So, what’s next, Damon? What next are you planning to do?”

I inhaled sharply, forcing my thoughts into something solid. “She’ll stay.”

“And if she refuses?” He asked, shaking his head in question.

I let out a slow breath, running a hand down my face. Then I straightened, my mind set.

This wasn’t about what I wanted anymore.

Sienna had two choices, stay and do things my way.

Or leave without her child.

Either way, I wouldn’t be losing my daughter.

Either way, I was going to be sure to prove to everyone that this was my pack and things were going to go by my rules from now on.
