Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 56

Sienna:

My heart was still racing, my body betraying me despite my best efforts to ignore what had just happened.

Damon was too close.

And not only was he too close, but the tension between the two of us has been rising in a way that I could not find myself wanting to control or knowing how to do so in the first place.

The way his breath had brushed my ear, the way his voice had dropped into that dangerously low tone, it sent an unwelcome shiver down my spine. I hated how my body responded to him, hated how my stomach tightened in a way I wasn’t prepared for.

I was flustered, and no matter how much I tried to shake it off, the heat in my cheeks refused to fade. And I hated the fact that he saw it, despite him not saying a word about it. I knew for a fact that he was not blind. He could easily see it.

I busied myself with Isla, forcing my focus back on something I could control. I sat in the nursery, cradling her in my arms, feeding her while humming softly. She was growing so fast, two months had passed, and every day she became stronger, healthier, more alert.

And every day, I found myself more and more attached.

Every day I found myself growing more thankful for the fact that she was okay after the terror that I had endured of something happening to her. I was just thankful for the fact that she was fine, that nothing happened to her that she was now growing healthy.

Evelyn walked further inside, shaking her head slightly. She seemed a little more amused lately. She seemed happier, more content. Even Alpha Kael did not seem to be annoyed or angry by something he was just living by with his wife. He was happy. For some reason. Everyone in the pack seemed to be cheerful, more calm.

“You’ve been different lately,” she said casually, leaning against the wall. “And so has Damon. Do you really believe that I did not notice?”

I tensed. “I don’t know what you mean. I don’t think that anything changed in the two of us.”
