Brken 56

Chapter 56: Crimsonbane’s Giselle’s footsteps echoed swiftly down the grand hall as I hurried towards the Packhouse’s drawing room. The omega followed behind me in haste, trying to match my footsteps.

My heart raced with a mix of annoyance and unease – The Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack had arrived unannounced. I don’t even know what he is doing here.

I gritted my teeth as anger coursed through me. Why does he even have to come here?! He doesn’t even have any business with the Silvermoon Pack.

If he came here to ruin.things for me, I swear I’m going to kill him.

“How long has he been with him?” I demanded in irritation without stopping on my tracks.

“For about thirty minutes,” The omega answered unsurely for she’s only basing her answer on her own gut.

I rushed my pace as I gripped the hem of my clothes tightly. He’s been here for almost an hour and I have only known that he’s here just by now?

I need to hurry before he speaks of something that Killian shouldn’t know about.

I paused momentarily to collect myself together when I finally reached the ornate double doors.

The omega pushed the doors open and I was welcomed with the plush velvet furnishings and the sparkling crystal +18 HORUS chandeliers of our Packhouse’s drawing room where we meet.

I clenched jaw in anger when my eyes landed on Alpha Damien the one and only Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack.

He flashed a lazy smile on his face as he stared at me with the same deep and empty eyes.

He still looks the same as I remember him. His sharp eyes are tilted upward like a predator. His features are angled and chiseled, the product of lineage steeped from the ways of the wolf.

“Giselle, long time no see,” he spoke with his voice devoid of superfluous emotion.

I forced a smile on my face since Killian is here, watching what my reaction would be.

“Alpha Damien, you should have told me you would come,” I spoke in a tight voice as I tried my best not to voice out my annoyance.

He shouldn’t have come here at all. He knows that he is not welcome here.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you know Alpha Damien? How did you know each other?” Killian asked amicably as he directed his question on me.

“Giselle, you never told him about me?” Damien asked me with a fake surprised look on his face, I just wanted to punch him in the face and push him out of Pack.

“It was too long ago, Killian, so it never crossed my mind. I only 25 at the Crimsonbane for a while when I left the Pack. That’s just how we knew each other,” I told him half the .

Damien, who rarely showed any emotion suddenly snickered on his seat when he heard my answer. My heart burned in anger because of this.

“I see,” Killian slowly nodded his head in response. I’m just glad that he ignored Damien’s reaction. “I guess our Pack owes you, Alpha Damien for taking care of Giselle on our behalf.”

A rumbling, resonant chuckle emanated from deep within Damien’s chest. “I’m not asking anything in return, am I?” Damien sounded so offensive that I felt the tension rise inside the room.

“You don’t have to owe me anything. I helped Giselle because I want to. If you were to pay for that, then the kindness I’ve shown Giselle would be credited to you,” Damien added softening the tense atmosphere.

Killian smiled at his words. “I’m sorry, I haven’t thought of it that way.”

Damien flicked his eyes towards me ignoring Killian’s reply. The news I’ve heard is true. You really are pregnant,” he spoke coldly with his eyes on my baby bump.

A chill went down my spine as my hand involuntarily covered my baby bump. I swallowed hard at the intense look that he is giving me.

“How far ahead are you now?” He questioned emotionlessly.

“It’s been three months,” Killian answered for me when I fell in “Three months,” Damien enunciated each words as he looked at me in the eye.

A sweat formed on my forehead as my heart rang inside my ears. Three months, he knew that he could be the father of my child.

“Is there a problem, Alpha Damien?

lifted my chin as I challenged him.

Damien fell quiet, not expecting my confidence.

He thought I would get scared by him? Then he doesn’t know me that well. I gave him his chance, yet he pushed me away and chose somebody else.

He has no right to interfere with my new life after he has made that decision.

He can’t ruin the life I worked hard for after he pushed me away from his life.

Damien just clucked his tongue and turned his gaze away. My heart swelled with confidence when he failed to say a word against me.

“Oh Giselle, I forgot to say that Alpha Damien didn’t receive any invitation from us,” Killian spoke up.

“Oh!” My eyes widened in horror. “That couldn’t be, I made sure I sent invitations to all Packs,” I lied with fake look of concern on my eyes.

Damien just shook his head quietly. He knows I did that in purpose.

It is exactly the reason why I didn’t expect to see him here. I purposely didn’t send him an invitation for I do not want to be connected in any way with him again.

I wonder where his news are coming from since I never even sent him any invitation and I never told him or anyone connected to him about my pregnancy.

Selene Souchon Author Alpha Damien is an interesting character. Why do you think Giselle hates him?
