Breed Me. Daddy Alpha novel Chapter 290

~ Lyra~

“Damon!” I screamed so loud my throat burned instantly, but I kept going because maybe if I yelled loud enough he would answer me, maybe if I said his name enough times he would magically appear in front of me like nothing happened and tell me I was being dramatic again. “Damon! Damon, where are you? Damon!”

My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to break out of my chest completely, like it didn’t want to be in my body anymore if Damon wasn’t okay. My hands were shaking so much I could barely shove my hair out of my face as I stumbled through the hallway because all I could see in my head was blood. His blood.

And then I saw her. His mother.

“Lyra, Lyra, what’s wrong? Calm down!” she said, reaching for me like that was even possible right now when I was one breath away from completely losing my mind.

I skidded to a stop right in front of her, my whole chest heaving like I had run a marathon, my hair sticking to my face because I was sweating even though I was freezing, and I just blurted everything out in one long, panicked breath because there was no stopping it.

“I heard gunshots!” I practically screamed, my voice cracking in the middle because my throat hurt so bad but I didn’t care. “ Where is Damon? Where is he? Tell me where he is right now! I heard it, I swear I heard it, it was loud, it was right outside, I know it was, something happened, something bad, I can feel it in my chest, I can feel it in my stomach, where is he, where is Damon?”

“Lyra slow down ” , ..

“No! No, I will not slow down!” I was almost crying now, my voice shaking so hard I barely sounded like me. “Do not tell me to slow down when I just heard a gunshot and Damon is out there and nobody is telling me anything!

“just tell me where he is, please, please, I have to see him, I need to know he’s okay, I need to see him with my own eyes because my wolf is going crazy right now and I feel like I’m about to actually pass out!”

She grabbed my arms because I was shaking so much I couldn’t stand still, but it didn’t help, nothing helped, because I couldn’t breathe right, I couldn’t think right, I couldn’t do anything except picture Damon on the ground and that was killing me, it was literally killing me.

“Lyra, listen to me,” his mother said firmly, holding my arms tighter because at this point I was shaking so hard I could barely stay on my own two feet. “Calm down, sweetheart. Damon is perfectly fine. He has gone out with the guards, okay? He is fine. Please, please stop crying.”

“The gunshot you heard,” his mother added quickly, her voice softer now because she could see how wrecked I looked, “it was from Daren. He’s out there doing target practice with a gun. That’s all it was. Please don’t get worried, all right? For your babies. You have to calm down for them.”

“Oh my God, my babies,” I said, pressing a hand to my stomach like I was talking to them directly now. “Do you babies hear this? Your daddy’s fucking twin just took ten years off my life for fun. Do you know what kind of emotional damage you have inherited from this side of the family? He is running around with guns like it’s the Wild West, and me? I’m in here about to actually ascend to the afterlife because my heart can’t take this kind of drama.”

I spun back around to his mother because my hands were shaking too much to stay at my sides.

“No. No, I’m not letting this go. When Damon comes back, I’m telling him everything. I’m telling him exactly how close I came to seeing angels because of his insane family. And Daren better run. He better hide. Because I am one second away from grabbing that gun myself and showing him what target practice feels like!”

I didn’t even wait for his mother to finish talking, I was already marching straight toward the door like a woman on a mission.

That fucking bastard. I shoved the door open so hard it banged against the wall, and there he was.

Daren.
