Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 44

Damon:

The tension in the room was suffocating.

And the more I thought about it, the more I knew that things were not going to go my way, the worse things were going to happen, and I knew the harder they were going to be.

Lysandra stood in front of my desk, arms crossed, her eyes burning with fury. She had stormed in the second she heard I’d met with Giovanni. I could already feel the storm brewing before she opened her mouth. She was not going to stop before, she was going to get what she wanted, but right now this was not an option. Not when I knew that her father was on the verge of threatening the pack. It was something that I was refusing right now and it was something that I was going to make sure that he understood the consequences of. But first, his daughter needed to go back to him.

“You told me to stay,” she hissed, her voice dangerously low. “You asked me to stay, and now you’re telling me to leave? You brought me here. You sent your men to bring me here.”

I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly. “I didn’t ask you to stay, Lysandra. You chose to stay. Indeed, I sent my men to bring you to the pack, but I did not send them to make you stay. It was you who chose to want to stay after you said that you wanted to leave. It is you who keeps coming after trouble, and right now I’m no longer in the mood to deal with it.”

She scoffed, stepping forward. “And now what? You’re suddenly done with me? You’re throwing me away? After everything you want me to just leave? After I fought for you, you want me to leave?”

I rubbed a hand over my face, already exhausted by this conversation before it had even begun. I knew that it was not going to end well when I called her over, but I did not expect her to make things harder than they already were.

Her face twisted with rage.

“You always do this,” she spat. “Every single time. You always choose someone else. Your pack. Your duties. Your damn pride. And now… now it’s her. Again.”

My jaw tightened. “This has nothing to do with Sienna.”
