But then my wolf spoke, and it was like everything inside me flipped upside down in an instant. Tell him not to go. The voice slammed into me so fast and so sharply that I actually froze.
What? I asked her silently, my grip tightening on Damon’s jacket like I could physically anchor him here if 1 just held on hard enough.
Do not let him leave, my wolf growled, her voice filled with a strange kind of tension I had never felt from her before. Something is wrong. Something bad is coming. Do not let him walk out that door.
My entire body went cold because my wolf never sounded like this. Not once. She was reckless and wild and usually laughed in the face of danger like she had a death wish, so for her to suddenly sound sharp and restless made my heart start pounding so hard I felt it in my throat.
“Damon,” I said quickly, my voice too high and too fast, all of it spilling out before I could stop myself. “Please don’t go.”
He paused immediately, his dark eyes dropping down to meet mine, his brows drawing together just slightly as he studied my face.
His hand was still warm against my cheek, steady and grounding, while I was practically vibrating with this awful feeling twisting through me.
“Kitten— ” he started, his voice low and careful like he was about to tell me everything would be fine, but I shook my head so quickly my hair fell into my face and my hands clutched the front of his jacket like I could keep him here if I just held on tight enough.
“No, Damon, I’m serious,” I said, my words coming out fast and shaky because my chest felt too tight and my wolf was pacing like she was about to tear through my skin.
“Please don’t go. I don’t like this feeling. My wolf doesn’t like this feeling. Something is wrong. I can feel it in my stomach. I can feel it in my chest. Just stay here, please. If you walk out that door something bad is going to happen, I can feel it.”
Damon finally sighed, the sound coming from deep in his chest, heavy enough that I felt it in my bones.
His hand stayed on my cheek, warm and steady, his thumb brushing my skin as though he could soothe me into silence even when my entire body was screaming for him to stay.
His eyes held mine the way they always did when he wanted me to listen, dark and certain, as if the whole world would bow before his words if he told it to.
“Kitten, ” he said slowly, his voice calm in a way that made my stomach twist because I already knew he was going to leave no matter what I said. “You know who your Alpha is, right? You know no one can hurt me.”
I wanted to shake him. I wanted to scream that my wolf was still pacing inside me, that my heart was beating so hard it hurt, that there was something wrong and he was acting like this was just another normal day when it clearly wasn’t.
