Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 41

Damon:

For the past few days, I had done everything in my power to avoid Sienna.

At this point, the last thing that I wanted was to see her. The last thing that I wanted was to endure being confronted by something that I did not want to speak about.

It wasn’t difficult. She stayed in her room with Isla, only leaving to visit the incubation room. And me? I made sure that the only time I saw my daughter was when she was with the nurses.

They would take her a few times to check on her and when that happened I would come and see her. I would make sure that she’s OK before I left her to go back to her mother.

It was easier that way.

Easier than dealing with the weight of her words.

What happened to us, Damon?

That damn question had been circling my mind like a vulture waiting to pick at the remains of something long dead.

And I did not like the effect that it was having on me. Her words had more effect on me than a man hitting me in the face. And that was not something that I liked. It was not something that I wanted to think about. Nor was it something that I wanted to cope with.

I hated that she made me think about it. That she made me remember.

Because now, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but find myself thinking about whatever she had said.

I had spent years burying whatever past I had with her. I had convinced myself that it didn’t matter, that she didn’t matter. She was nothing more than a fleeting mistake, a consequence I never should have allowed to happen.

I knew that look. It wasn’t one I particularly enjoyed seeing.

“Father,” I acknowledged, watching as he closed the door behind him. “What is it?”

“(

Kael crossed his arms over his chest, his green eyes sharp with something between irritation and warning. Giovanni is on his way. And trust me when I say that it is not going to be a good thing for him to come here.” I stiffened slightly, my fingers curling against the desk. “He’s coming here?”

“He’s pissed,” my father continued, his tone flat. “Considering the fact that you let Lysandra stay after she originally wanted to leave, he believes you’re playing some sort of game with his daughter. Needless to say, you bringing her here was a mistake, but I’m not going to ask about that, nor am I going to argue about it.”
