Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 191

Sienna:

The nursery had never felt quieter and the air around me never felt tighter than it did now.

Luna Evelyn’s words played in my mind and for a few moments I found myself doubting myself and her rights, what she had meant and when she spoke to me about how I was supposed to be the Luna, how I was supposed to stand strong.

But how could I stand strong when the woman that was supposed to be my sister’s half sister or not was an enemy as well? And not only that, that enemy had tried to play my relationship, my mating bond. She went as far as getting inside my mate’s head. And it’s not something that I can just easily swallow.

I leaned against the wall, my knees suddenly weak as though every ounce of strength had been siphoned out of me. My daughter being in my embrace should have grounded me, should have calmed me down, but it did not help the turmoil, the storm and everything that I was feeling brewing inside of me.

Damon had felt the bond.

The mating bond, with her.

And he didn’t tell me about it, he just kept it to himself.

I squeezed my eyes shut, willing the sting to go away. But the words wouldn’t stop clawing through my chest, and neither would the image of Delilah, lying there injured, while Kael looked at me with pity, no, with guilt.

With pain as he revealed something that I thought that I should have known about. A security that I should have had. And yet I didn’t. I still brought her over myself. I still willed myself to allow her to speak to him.

Was this the reason why he rushed down when he heard the gunshot? Did he still feel a bond to her? Was it more than just the game?

Did she really manipulate the bond or was it not a manipulation?

I didn’t stop walking until I was right in front of him.

“You knew,” I said, the accusation sharp and cold. “You knew, and you didn’t tell me. That was why you were protecting me. That was why you were telling me that you were not going to let her ruin. Everything you knew about this mating bond and you chose to keep it from me.”

His gaze didn’t waver. “I did.”

I took a step closer. “Why? Why did you choose to hide something like this from me? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

“Because it changes nothing,” he said flatly. “He’s still yours. It is not for me to tell you about something like this. It was supposed to be Damon who spoke to you. When I saw her today, I would have assumed that he told you about this, that he told you that there was nothing going on. This is why I spoke of it.”
