Chapter 503
“Am I not allowed to be happy?” Damien demands, ignoring Dane
“Don’t be an idiot, of course you can be happy.” Mallory tells him
“Then why can’t it be someone I have chosen? The two women who were destined to be my mate didn’t work out. So I’m making the decisions. I’m choosing the person who makes me happy.”
“She is not who you are supposed to be with!”
“Why?” He challenges, “Come on Mallory, tell me why. Who do you think I should be with?”
“I’m not doing this here!” She shakes her head in frustration
“This is exactly why I didn’t tell you. I knew you would have a problem with it.”
“Eric, take Mallory home.” I tell him.
“The show was just getting started.” Brax protests but Maddie takes the lead and tells him she wants to go home. “Fine, I’m coming.”
“Eric.” Dane stops him, “Take the boys with you,”
When they are far enough away, Damien sighs, rubbing his eyes. “I was expecting some level of disagreement from her, but not this.”
“I think Mallory is just being cautious given how Samara arrived here.” Dane tells him.
“I don’t want to cause any more trouble.” Samara whispers. “I just…
“You are not going anywhere.” Damien tells her as he drapes an arm around her shoulders. That deep pink blush appears again. There was no hiding how much she liked that he stood up for her.
“You’re happy?” I ask Damien. Mallory did have a point, but Samara seemed to have come a long way in the last few weeks. Agreeing to trap her brother, ripping his head off. I had seen the stickers that Dorothy had given her too. Another good sign.
“For the first time in a long time, yes.” He gives me a big smile
“I promise to be the best fa…pack member I can be.” Samara mutters. “I’ve learned alot about myself recently.” She glances at Damien, her smile almost matching his.
‘It’s weird.’ Nyx mutters
“Sometimes weird things happen.’ I reply and she rolls her eyes at me.
‘Does this mean we need to accept her?’ She questions.
‘I think, for now, we have to tolerate her. I love Damien. He is a huge part of our family and I am not interested in pissing him off. He likely already knows that it isn’t going to be easy. He knows that Samara will have to prove herself to everyone, not just me, Dane or Damien.’
‘A lot of people saw her as a threat.’ Nyx tells me
‘Exactly, but they need to make up their own minds. I’m not doing it for them.
I look over to see Dane talking to Damien and Samara. Dane seems relaxed and unphased by the situation. I was worried he would be dealing with his own problems. He had made it quite clear that Eris was too soon after Raven. So why is he so calm now?
I rub my stomach as today’s nausea sets in. I was definitely worse than when I had been pregnant with the boys. Even Nyx groans.
Focussing on Dane, I hear him repeat my question and ask Damien if he is happy.”
Damien nods. “Yes. She makes me happy.”
“Seriously?” We all look up to see Blair. Her hands on her hips as she glares at us. Ryken grabs hold of her jacket collar and drags her forward.
“None of our business.” He tells her. “Keep walking. We have work to do.”
“But she’s…..” Blair protests
“I don’t give a shit. You don’t run this pack.” Ryken snaps. “Move on.”
“But I have to stay trapped under someone’s watchful eye!” She snarls as he continues to drag her away. “while she gets to waltz around with the Beta and play happy families!”
“Stop! Just stop!” I demand.
Ryken comes to a halt as Blair continues to glare at Samara. I move over to them, the others following me.
