Damien's P.O.V

Kayla was curled into me as she slept. The night wasn't supposed to go like this, it wasn't supposed to go so badly but it did and I didn't know who to blame; I couldn't even blame myself because I had tried to make this night go perfectly and it didn't. Kayla ended up having enough so I offered her to sleep at my house, even though she didn't want to but I kept persisting her and in the end I just ended up giving in and staying at her aunt's place, not wanting to argue any more than what already has taken place. We didn't hear from Kameron since he left and I wasn't surprised after what Zach had said to him but one thing I was confused about was why he said those things to him, yeah Kameron was estranged for a long time but he didn't deserve those things said to him.

I didn't have a wink of sleep yet because these thoughts kept circling my mind and I found it hard to want to sleep because I wanted to keep Kayla safe, I just don't know from what. My feelings for her have developed, something I wish that never happened because I did not want any feelings for Kayla not because everyone else doesn't want her but because I've been a bad mate to her and I know I will be worse as that's what I have been raised to do. I was raised to hate Kayla because she was the cause for her parents' death even though I knew that wasn't the truth but it's what I was brought up to believe and it was something I hated.

Looking down at her, I took in all her features that made my dick stir and my wolf howl with joy that she was our mate. Her hair could be so messy and tangled and I would still love it, her eyes were a beautiful colour that seemed to make me stop and just think about her they were even more enhanced by her thick eyelashes that was around her eyes.

Her skin complexion complimented her looks, as did her curves and no matter what scars she had, her body would always arouse me and make me want her even more. She has many scars because of me, she has many flaws but I accepted them because most of them were from me and I regret it but I'm sure that my parents' would be smiling at the achievement leaving me with a bitter feeling.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard some banging from downstairs, I tried smelling the scent but only received the scent of woods and the outdoor scent but no other ones. How the hell did they get in here? I gave Kayla a kiss on her forehead then mentally scolded myself before making my way downstairs and growling when I saw a drunk Kameron moving from side to side while laughing slightly.

I rolled my eyes and walked over to him, telling him to be quiet then bringing him over to a chair where he sat down laughing more; walking over to the other side of the kitchen, I turned on the lights and sighed when I saw him really out of it.

'Would you shut up? Your sister is still asleep upstairs!' I whispered harshly to him but he paid no attention to me as he titled onto one side too much meaning that he fell in a tumble onto the floor but that didn't stop his laughter.

I went over to him, making sure that I didn't hear Kayla getting up from bed and continued to help up Kameron who now was hiccupping as his laughter slowly faded. Pulling him up hard with an easy pull, I made sure that he was going to stand straight and when I saw he was moving side to side again, I grabbed him and slung his arm over my shoulder for brace. 'You know I met a girl?' He said, then chuckled a little as I helped him sit down.

'A girl? Is that why you've been drinking loads, because you met a girl?' Kameron gave me a look which meant, are you being serious right now? Afterwards, he shook his head then leaned back as I waited for him to explain what he meant to me.

'She had the most beautiful eyes and you know, she understood me. She understood everything I was telling her then when it came to her story, I just felt like a little shit for feeling sorry for myself when she was going through worse.' Kameron looked around for something after saying that.

'What did she tell you?' I asked him. Kameron muttered something but he wasn't listening to me as he kept looking around for something so I clicked my fingers in his face which made him speak. 'Where's my drink?'

'Somewhere in lala land. Now tell me what her story was.' He looked at me confused making me roll my eyes at him. 'The girl you met, the one with the nice eyes and shit. What did she tell you to make you feel even worse?' A look of realisation crossed his face before he shook his head.

'I can't tell you, she made me pinky promise and she told me she took her pinky promises seriously so I'm not telling you anything.' He sighed and looked in front of him, or more like stared. 'But it just made me think that there's more to life then what there is here. She doesn't need to face shit like that but she doesn't want me to help her, Damien.' He said, leaning closer to me while yawning but I pushed him away from me.

'If you're going to go sleep, go upstairs and to your room where you should be.' I said to him but he only waved me off before coming closer to me and slightly falling. 'Kameron, look it's the girl you were talking about!' I exclaimed. He sat straight and frantically looked around but then when he found nothing he turned back to me with a scowl on his face.

'That was uncalled for.' He told me before making himself comfortable on the couch but I pulled him and pointed to the stairs making him grumble before getting off his ass and making his way up the stairs followed by me but I made sure to be quiet because Kayla was still asleep. As soon as I got into the room, I was right when I said that she was sleeping because she was so I climbed into bed but that woke her up.

'What's going on?' I heard Kayla say to me but I shushed her and then pulled her closer to me. 'Go back to sleep, your brother only came home. We'll talk in the morning.' I told her; I felt her nod before cuddling into me and suddenly, I heard her slow breathing meaning that she had gone to sleep. The only thing I could think of why or how could I be such a jerk to such a beautiful girl?

Kayla's P.O.V

When I woke up in the morning, I felt strong arms wrap around me and for once, I could actually think straight in the morning. I wasn't getting bullied, I wasn't getting teased about anything but I was in the arms of one my bullies and that just sounds a hell of a lot of crazy but for once in the morning, I wasn't dreading the rest of the day so much. One thing that I was worrying about was Kameron because he came in late last night and I managed to hear little pieces. The ache of my brother was within me too, but I had no idea what he was going through.

Slowly, I moved the covers off of me but then stopped when I saw Damien move a little. Luckily he never woke up so I pushed the covers off of me completely before running into the bathroom where I quickly closed the door and locked it. I sighed because of my accomplishment before heading to the shower and turning it on then I waited for a bit till I realised that my reflection was next to me. I walked closer to it and examined myself in total, not just for this morning...okay add this morning's appearance as a bonus.

Messy bushy hair that stuck up in all directions, dark circles under my eyes, dry chapped lips as well as creased clothes. Way to wake up, Kayla! Note the dead enthusiasm in my voice and the sarcasm that coats it like sugar on strawberries. I groaned as I stripped out of my clothes then jumped in the shower, almost groaning because of the temperature it was at. It felt so good right now, especially since I woke up a couple minutes ago; it was like a push to face the day ahead of me, a good push.

My shower felt like it ended too quickly. No actually, it did end very quickly because a couple minutes into the shower all I heard was banging come from the other side of the door and a muffled voice that was begging to come into the bathroom but too bad because I was in there and there was another bathroom but no. Damien didn't have the sense to go to the other bathroom so he just kept bugging me and that is how a perfect shower ends abruptly. I had to come out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth but I still was naked and not ready for Damien to see that.

'I prefer you like this.' Those were the first words that processed my mind because Damien was the one saying it to me but the thing was, it didn't flatter me; it was more of an insult than anything so I hit him and tried pushing him to go into the bathroom so he could do his business while I on the other hand had to get ready quick then go to my brother who was still sleeping by the sounds that my inhumane ears heard.

Today wasn't a school day, thank God but it was a day that I had to choose to make Kameron have a conversation with our aunt and her husband or I could leave it and just talk to Kameron. Right now, I didn't like any of the options but for now I'm going to go with the second option since I'm guessing that Zach wasn't in the mood to talk to Kameron and vice versa. So after actually getting ready, I made my way to the room that I'm guessing Kameron was in and knocked so I didn't see him butt naked which he usually did when we were little. He slept butt naked.

'Yeah?' Oh, he was up. I carefully opened the door and popped my head in to see that Kameron was on the bed and was throwing a ball against the opposite wall and catching it again then repeating it again. His eyes wandered over to mine and he let out a sigh before catching the ball and keeping it there then moved aside on his bed to make space.

'I'm not going to be here for long so don't worry about that.' I walked over towards the bed then sat down next to my brother who shifted a little away from me. 'Whatever he said yesterday, he didn't mean it. I know that be-'

'What makes you think that he didn't mean anything he said? Last time I checked, you weren't him Kayla and you know what? I don't need you coming here and telling me shit that I don't give a fuck about. Helping me or not, you and I barely know each other anymore.' This sudden hatred that I got from my brother brought out my own anger that I had towards him.

'I'm trying to look out for you. You came home late at night drunk as hell while shouting your head off like you were trying to make the neighbours call the police or the alpha to punish you for disturbance. Don't you think that I'm happy to see you back? Shelia is happy to see you back too but you can't see that because the only thing you are worried about is yourself!' No tears had slipped down my cheeks but they did burn my eyes. 'Forgot it, Kameron.' I turned to walk to the door but then I got stopped.

'You don't know what it's been like since we got separated.' I scoffed at the sound of his voice.

'And you don't know what it's been like for me since we got separated so you know what you can do? Stop trying to feel sorry for yourself and try to actually be nicer to your own sister even when Zach isn't.' I turned to walk away again and this time, he didn't stop me from going.

Damien's scent got stronger as I got down the stairs meaning that hopefully he has made breakfast even though I wasn't feeling like eating anything because my appetite had gone since having that conversation with Kameron but whatever Damien had made hopefully was good. Can't keep my wolf weak now can we? I jumped off the last couple steps before finally heading towards the kitchen where Damien's scent had mixed with the smell of sweet waffles and fruits.

I got into the kitchen to see that Damien was making healthy stuff making my wolf and I groan a bit because we were hoping for nice greasy stuff for the morning. 'Erm, what's this?' I swear I could see the smirk on Damien's face when I asked him. When he didn't answer me, I went and sat down at one of the seats on the table and waited for him to answer me but instead, I got a plate with two sweet waffles and a lot of fruit on the side. I looked up to see Damien smirking at me.

'This is your breakfast, now give your chef a kiss.' He said before resting his elbow on the table and putting his head on his fist while looking at me with amusement. I picked up the fork that was on the side of the plate then picked up the strawberry and put it in my mouth, moaning with exaggeration which made Damien's eyes widen.

'Why though?' I asked after swallowing. Damien snapped out of whatever trance he was in and stood straight and stretched. 'You're going to start training with me so you'll need fuel for your body.' After saying that, he walked away making me almost choke on my food because he said the word training.

'I'm training? But why?' I asked, finally able to get the piece of food down my throat. Damien turned to me with a sexy smirk on his face but that face won't be sexy in a minute after I continuously beat him.

'Because you are future Luna.'
