Chapter41:FIFTEEN

Although the people of the Red Moon pack knew that Damien was Kira's mate, they still gave him a suspicious look when he arrived. They all scrutinized him as he walked closer to Kira's place, whispering to themselves, an action which had not gone unnoticed by Damien. "It seems the people do not welcome us too," Draco whispered to Damien. "That's fine by me. It's obviously going to take a while to get used to it but I came here for another reason and I could care less about their reaction," he whispered back to Draco. "Welcome Alpha Damien," Layla greeted Damien with a smile on her face. She had not expected him to come all the way here and his sudden presence definitely took her by surprise. "Thanks for having me, lady Layla," he replied as he followed her in. "Inform Kira of Damien's presence," Layla whispered to one of the guards and he did as told. Kira hurriedly came out to meet Damien. She had not expected him to come all the way to her pack. She wondered what could have possibly brought him here as she had not really had time to think about him or his pack after she arrived back here. "Damien," she called the moment she stepped into the room. Damien raised his head up to look at Kira and at that moment, it was as if everything else stopped moving and it was just himself and Kira alone in the room. His heart began to beat faster than usual the moment he laid his eyes on her and at the same time, he felt his stomach churn in discomfort when he saw her face. He could tell she wasn't happy and something had happened to her. He immediately got up from his seat as he rushed to her side, touching her face with his hands while checking if she was hurt. "What happened to you?" he asked worriedly his sudden gesture had taken Kira by surprise as she wasn't expecting him to be so touchy with her. She had almost lost her balance the moment he placed his hands on her but thankfully, he had a strong grip on her shoulders. She had never seen Damien in this state before and his little gestures and reactions made her heart feel a lot less heavier. "Were you crying?" he asked her, noticing her eyes and how swollen they seemed to be. He was surprised to see her this way. He didn't think she'd be this much affected to the point where she'd cry to herself. Kira removed his hands slowly from her face. "I'm fine," she replied, trying not to show any sign of sadness as she removed his hands from her face. "Are you sure? You are not hurt anywhere, are you?" he asked as he examined her body to make sure she had no injuries. "I'm very fine," she assured him. Damien was not very satisfied with her reply. He felt there was more to it that she wasn't telling him and it didn't sit well with him. "Okay, if you say so," he replied hesitantly as he moved back from her a bit. "What brings you here?" Kira asked after a while. "Well, the news of your achievement travelled pretty fast. I heard you killed one of the creatures cursed by the sun and I came to check what it looked like," he tells her. "I also came to see you and be sure you were fine," he added almost immediately, looking away, while rubbing the back of his neck with his hands. Kira was taken aback by his words. Upon hearing he had come to check on her, she felt her heart flutter a little and she was somehow thankful he had showed up. Everyday her feelings for Damien grew and it worried her because she knew deep down that he was never going to put her first and Sheila was the one he loved. She cleared her throat as she tried to hide the blush that crept on her face. "As you can see I am fine," she replied. "And yes I got to see the face of one of those bastards and I've officially challenged them," she told him proudly. Damien smiled. "Didn't expect anything less from you," he replied proudly. She felt her heart beat race rapidly again as she took his statement as a compliment. "Where did you keep his body? I would like to see for myself what they look like," Damien said. "Funny enough he actually isn't dead. I was only able to take him down but just like us werewolves, they also have the tendency of healing pretty fast so he is still alive but he is currently chained down. I only spread the rumor of his death so his people won't try to save him," Kira informed him. Her revelation took Damien by surprise as he wasn't expecting to hear that they also had the ability to heal fast. It seemed as though there was more to them than they actually expected. "Where is he?" Damien asked her. "Follow me," she tells him as she walks away with Damien following closely behind her. The room they had put the creature cursed by the sun in was pretty dark. He was chained to the ground and the moment Kira and Damien walked in, he raised his head up to look at them. Damien brows rose in surprise as he had expected the creatures cursed by the sun to look more like actual monsters. The man chained to the group looked like an ordinary man except for the fact that he had really pale skin. On the side of his mouth, he had blood stains which proved he definitely wasn't an ordinary man. "You mean this is what the creatures cursed by the sun look like?" Damien asked, a hint of surprise laced on his tone as he scrutinized him. "Funny but true. If I hadn't seen him feeding on my childhood friend right in front of me, I would have doubted that they looked so normal. They pretty much drink our blood and from my observation, it seems their blood doesn't mix well with ours which is why we don't heal whenever they bite us. I also think that they survive by drinking blood," Kira informed Damien who walked closer to take a closer look at the creature. "Creatures cursed by the sun? You said they were cursed by the sun which is why they do not walk around during the day right?" Damien asked and Kira hummed in reply. Damien's eyes glanced at the window that was closed and he walked towards it. He looked at the creature cursed by the sun once again before he opened the window, letting the sun ray in and the creature cursed by the sun groaned in pain as the harsh sunlight burnt him. Damien smirked. "Indeed they are cursed by the sun. We finally got a weakness," Damien tells Kira who realised what the sunlight had done to the skin of the man. "If he is put under the sun now, there is a probability he would burn to death," Kira muttered. "We can't do that yet. We need as much information as we can get from him and it seems they don't die that easily considering you had taken him down and you apparently slit a part of his neck," Damien tells her. "That's true and all but I need to make sure I watch him burn to ashes with my very own eyes," Kira said as she clenched her fist and her action had not gone unnoticed by Damien. Damien moved closer to her. "How close were you to the victim?" he asked inquisitively as he saw how his death left a huge impact on Kira. Kira's eyes filled with tears but she refused to let them out so she looked away. "Just forget it," she tells him dismissively. Damien placed his hands on Kira's shoulder. "I'm sorry for your loss," he whispered to her. She felt her heart melt again from his words and his touch and not wanting to dwell on it, she immediately looked away. "Let's leave," she told him and they left the room. Later that night, Damien came to visit Kira in her chambers. He had not returned as he wanted to know more about these creatures cursed by the sun and analyse the situation with Kira. "You are not asleep?" he said the moment he entered her room. "What brings you here?" Kira asked as she covered her body shyly with a blanket to hide her thin fabric nightwear. "I came to check on you. Couldn't sleep without knowing how you are doing," he confessed, genuinely concerned and hoping she had not continued to cry. Kira was taken aback by his confession. Since when had it been a big deal for him to know if she had slept or not. It surprised her that he had even cared to ask because the Damien she knew could absolutely care less. Since he arrived, he had been acting differently and treating her very differently. The skin between her brows creased in confusion as she stared at him. "Thanks for checking on me Damien but I promise I'm fine," she said to him. "I know," he replied her as he walked closer to her. He sighed. Now he was standing closer to where she stood with a blanket wrapped around her. He held her hands in his sending shivers down her spine. "I heard about the person that killed Kira and I know he was your childhood friend. A very close one too," Damien said. "I know how it feels for someone to lose their loved one cause I've been there and it's a lot to handle. I just want you to know that it's okay to cry and express your loss. No one is gonna judge you for that," he said to her, hoping his words were encouraging enough. She had been holding herself from crying as much as she did. It hurt her so much that images of Landon flashed in her head every time. Tears filled her eyes as she stared back at him. "You can cry," he tells her as he pulls her closer to him and her head rests on his chest. She felt so warm and comfortable as she felt his big arms wrapped around her. She let the tears streamed down her cheek and cried out. "It's going to be fine," Damien tells her as she cries. After a while, she stopped crying. She felt at ease letting it out. Kira pulled back from him slowly. "Thank you so much for letting me cry as much as I needed to," she said to him as she stared into his eyes. He smiled at her. "How do you feel now?" he asked her. "I can't say I'm completely fine but I can assure you that I feel much better than I felt earlier," she replied with a small smile and at that moment, it felt as if time had stopped moving as both of them stared at each other, almost like they were lost in each other's eyes. Like a magnetic pull, they both leaned closer to one another, unable to move away and simply following their instinct. Damien's hands were still firmly on Kira's waist as he leaned down closer to her face till his lips gently touched hers. The moment their lips touched, they both felt fireworks in their stomach and the blanket that Kira had around her body fell to the ground as her lips and Damien's danced together in excitement. SIXTEEN Like a moth drawn to a flame, that was how both Kira and Damien were drawn to each other at that moment. The kiss had started out slowly and softly as their lips moved gently in sync. Damien pulled her closer to him, as a sudden urge took over him. He needed more of her as he felt a burning feeling in the pit of his stomach. Her lips tasted so divine and he couldn't help but want to taste and explore every inch of her mouth. He moved his hands from her waist and cupped her cheek so he could get better access to her lips. Kira placed her hands on his shoulder as she helped steady herself. She followed his every action and moved her lips against his just as he did with hers. Damien, wanting to taste more of her, bit her lips and in the process she let out an unconscious moan. He shoved his tongues inside of her and she shuddered from his action. She felt her knees weak from his actions. She held onto him as if her life depended on it. Damien felt his pants tighten as his tongue continued to dance with hers. He found his hand moving from her face back to her waist in split seconds and he held onto her tightly like his life depended on it. Kira could not believe she was actually doing way better than she thought she actually would when she finally had her first kiss. She suddenly felt like an inferno on the edge of combustion as every single one of his touches felt like her entire being had being lit on fire and it was definitely not the unpleasant kind of fire. She loved every feeling and emotion she got from the kiss with Damien and she didn't want it stopping anytime soon. They both writhed and moaned every second as they could not get enough of each other and neither one of them was ready to let go of the other person. Kira soon got tired of standing on her tippy toes and pulled him closer so he was leaning while she stood back on her feet while running her hands through his soft hair. Needing a fix of air, Damien pulled back slowly, resting his head against her forehead as he panted heavily and so did Kira with both their eyes closed. Needing to keep her in close contact, he began to trail fleeting kisses from her forehead to her nose, to her cheek and finally to her neck where he had bitten her softly and in return, he heard a soft moan escape Kira's lips. Her belly rumbled in joy as her lips parted, enjoying Damien's little assault on her skin. Each time his wet lips touched her skin, she felt a jolt of electricity down her spine each time. She loves the feeling so much that she can't get used to it. She swallowed the lump in her throat and then her lips parted again. It was as if she couldn't keep them close from the unfamiliar pleasure she suddenly felt at once. Damien rubbed her both arms with his hands sending shivers down her spine. He wanted to touch every inch of her body, to feel them again. Damien pulled the tiny strap of her nightwear to the side slowly, leaving her bare skin for him. He placed an open mouth kissed on her shoulder as his tongue trailed on her collarbone. His touch set her heart ablaze. It was hard for her to contain the excitement she felt all over her body. Intense, powerful, electrifying and amazing were the words she could use to describe what she was feeling. The moment his eyes landed on the valley of her breast, he couldn't resist himself anymore. It was as if he needed to touch them or he might not function properly anymore. "Fuck." He cursed. Kira slowly opened her eyes to look at Damien and as if he was seeking permission from her, she nodded her head. "Jump," he whispered to her and she did as told. The moment she jumped, he wrapped her legs around his waist and walked towards her bed. He claimed her lips while walking towards her bed as he couldn't resist her tempting lips and her beautiful eyes. Her lips were so addicting and he couldn't help but forget everything else that didn't concern her at that moment. She just wanted him closer and wanted his arms all over her body. He slowly placed her on the bed as he put himself in-between her legs, still kissing her senseless. He moved to her shoulder and soon, his lips were on the top of her cleavage. 'Fuck' he cursed mentally. He had seen her naked before but the difference was, back then, he didn't find her body as attractive as he did now and even though she wasn't even fully naked yet, he still had the dirtiest thoughts of the different positions he could put her in. Slowly he pulled down her nightwear and they were now lying on her waist, revealing her breast fully to him. He swallowed the lump that formed on his throat. His eyes glanced from her breast to her face as if asking for her permission to be sure whatever he had in mind was okay with her. Kira didn't want him to stop. She felt a burning desire between her legs and the knots in her stomach tightened. She most definitely didn't want him to stop what he was doing. Damien leaned in and kissed her lips once again before moving to kiss the valley of her breast. He kissed under her burst and she moaned softly sending a jolt of electricity down his spine. He had never felt this kind of passion before. He had never felt this drawn to anyone before. It was as if the beast inside of him wanted to be freed from it's cage and won't stop until it was. Damien inhaled and exhaled deeply before placing his mouth on her nipple. She moaned loudly as her toes curled from his action. He twirled his tongue on her right nipple while he used his free hands to keep her other nipple busy. She felt her panties dampen even from his actions. She used her legs to wrap his waist and pulled him closer to her, trying to sooth the needs she felt in-between her legs. She began to grind on him as he moved his tongue faster on her nipple. "Fuck!" he groaned as she was making it hard for him to keep it in his pants. He moved to the other side of her breast and did the same. His touch was working wonders on her and if she could stay like this for a lifetime, she would love it. Kira became a moaning mess in just seconds as she couldn't control her emotions no more. Her feelings were all over the place, hard for her to control and understand. She wanted more than what he was giving her as she continued to grind on him while running her finger through his hair. "Stop," he managed to whisper through great difficulty. His words had taken her by surprise. She swallowed a lump in her throat as the skin between her brows creased in confusion. "You are making it hard for me not to have sex with you Kira," he told her honestly and realization dawn on her. She didn't actually mind if he went that far with her and if she was being honest with herself, she wanted him just as badly as he wanted her so she did what she wouldn't have ever expected herself to do in a rational state of mind. She pulled him closer to her and crashed her lips on his desperately. Damien pulled Kira's nightwear off her body, leaving her in just her see through panties. She looked so beautiful that he could simply stare at her and admire her all day and he wouldn't even get tired. He leaned closer to her and kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she pulled him closer, their tongue fighting for dominance. Damien squeezed her ass with his hands earning a light moan from her. "You are just perfect," he whispered to her, making her heart melt and causing butterflies in her stomach. Hearing him say those words to her set her ablaze. They both looked into each other's eyes as if trying to read their thoughts and emotions through their eyes. Damien broke off the intense staring as he began to trail kisses from her neck to the valley of her breasts and then to her stomach. He placed a lingering kiss on her belly button before moving to kiss her waist line. "Let me make you feel good," he whispered to her, while looking into her eyes and she nodded her head in total agreement. "Kira!" the familiar voice of Layla suddenly called out Kira's name, making both Damien and Kira freeze in complete shock.
