Banished By My Mate Chapter 12
Damien
I hated seeing Joy like this. Losing a mate is hard but having him marrying someone else and rubbing it in her face is even harder. I understand why Damon chose that option, hell I would have done the same thing. My dad is heartless there's no telling what he would do if he was king again, he's obsessed with it. I have a way to get her mind off things I just need to finish up a couple of things.
Where the hell is she?
“Joy!” I yelled walking into her room she shrieked and threw a shirt at me.
"What are you doing? You can't just barge into someone's room!”
“Sorry.” I smiled. She was too busy scowling at me to notice that her towel fell.
"Nice.” I smirked.
“What are you tal- OMG get out Damien!” I laughed at her, she was so mad that her face turned red.
“Get out I need to get dressed.”
“No I need to talk to you.” She growled and took her clothes into the bathroom. She came out a few minutes later mumbling curse words. I ignored her, some how I've gotten use to it and I wouldn't change her for the world.
“What do you want to talk about?” She asked.
“As I recall you owe me a date, no I didn't forget. Me and Damon had our dates planned out but with everything that's going on he can't take you... Anyway be ready at 8 and pack a bag we're going to be gone overnight.”
"But I don-”
“I'll see you at 7pm.” I said shutting the door before she could protest.
I went to check on Damon, I know all of this is killing him. He decided to be cold to Joy to make her hate him he thought that it would be easier, I thought differently.
“What is it Damien I'm busy.”
“I came to check on you before I go.”
“I'm fine.” He mumbled.
"No you aren't, you haven't eaten or slept in days. I can tell that your wolf is restless I'm your brother you can't hide anything from me.”
“I have work to do, have fun on your date.”
"She's stressed. I need to help her relax this is killing her. I know she feels guilty because she can be with me and not you she doesn't want to hurt either of us. I read her thoughts she was going to find dad today.”
"What!!” He roared.
“Where is she?”
“She's packing for the night. Damon don’t she isn't going. I'm taking her to the beach house at 7.” I said trying to get him to calm down.
“Take her now you know she's sneaky.”
“I'll let you know when we get there.”
“Watch your back and be careful.”
He was right, our mate is a sneaky little thing. I had to get to her before she tried to get out of going.
“Change of plans we're going now.”
"But I'm not ready.” She said trying to stall.
“Too bad let's go.”
“Where are we going?”
"To our beach house, you need to relax.”
“I'll relax when I can be with both of my mates.”
“So you're finally admitting to wanting to be with us.” She blushed and looked away. I couldn't have been happier, it's taken her long enough to accept us.
“No now let's go.” She said while walking around me.
“We're taking my truck.”
She fell asleep as soon as we got into the car, she look just as tired as Damon. An hour later we pulled up to the house. I took the bags in and came back out to get her. I picked her up bridal style to carry her. I didn’t want to wake her she needed sleep.
“What's going on?”
“Sssh go back to sleep.”
“Where are we?”
“At the beach house.” She opened her eyes and looked around.
“Wow this is nice. We're staying here alone?”
“Yes no interruptions.” I put her down so she could get a better look at the place.
“This place is huge.”
"We haven’t been here in years. I need to look around and put the food up. Come on I'll show you around.”
We put the food up then I showed her all of the rooms, after that I took her out back.
“Wow this view is amazing. I’ve always loved beaches and water we stayed about two hours away from the beach but my dad or Caine would drive me out there because I would always bug them.”
“Well all you have to do is say the word and I’ll bring you here anytime you want.” We walked to the pier and sat down watching the view.
"This is nice.”
“What?” I asked.
“No noise and no crazy family or mate problems.”
"Yeah. I sensed that you were stressed I wanted to take your mind off of everything.”
I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the end of the pier.
"What are you doing?” She asked.
"You can't come to the beach and not get wet.”
"No Damien I don’t have a suit.”
"What you’re wearing is fine.” She tried to run but I picked her up.
“Damien I’m warning you don’t do it.”
“I don’t take orders I give them.”
“Damien.” She screamed as I threw her into the water. She resurfaced and glared at me.
“I’m going to kill you! Help me.”
"No you can swim back. I’m not falling for that it's the oldest trick in the book.”
“Damien I’m serious I cant swim.” She cried while trying to stay above the water.
"Not happening, now come on we need to start dinner.”
“Damien!” She said before going under.
“I’m going Joy” I said while getting ready to get up she was still under water.
“Joy!” I yelled. Sh*t!
“If this is trick you’re going to regret it.” I took off my shirt and jumped in. I looked around for her but I couldn’t find her.
I was about to panic when she jumped on my back making me go under water. When I resurfaced she was laughing swimming away.
“I knew it was a trick you’re going to pay for that.” She tried to run to the house but I tackled her.
“You think it's funny?” I asked while tickling her.
"No no I’m sorry stop I give up I give up!” She was actually laughing, a genuine laugh and it was music to my ears.
"Say Damien is the sexiest man alive.”
"That would be a lie.” She said between giggles.
“OK suit yourself.”
“OK OK Damien is the sexiest man alive.”
"Now was that so hard?” I asked.
“Yes.” She answered while smiling.
“Come on lets get cleaned up.” It was nice to see her smile and laugh.
"Go on up, everything you need is in the bathroom I’m going to clean this sand up. Call me if you need anything.” I said while kissing her cheek.
"Thanks Damien.”
"For what?” I asked.
"For bringing me here and taking my mind off of things.”
"You're welcome.”
I was done cleaning and was about to take a shower when I heard Joy scream. What is it now? If its my dad I’m going to kill him. I ran to the master bedroom and opened the door, I didn’t see her so I went into the bathroom she was standing on top of the toilet screaming.
"What is it? Whats wrong?” I asked on high alert.
"Kill it!” She screamed.
"Kill what?”
"That!” I looked to where she was pointing and saw a spider. I laughed so hard that I was actually crying.
"It's not funny Damien kill it!” I picked it up and walked to towards her, she jumped down and ran into the closet locking the door.
"Get that nasty thing out of here.”
"It's just a little spider.” I teased.
"That thing isn’t little it could bite and kill me.”
“Joy you’re a werewolf, a spider bite wont kill you.” I opened the window and placed it on a tree branch and shut the window back locking it.
“You can come out now I got rid of it.”
"You’re lying!”
“I promise you can come out now.” She cracked the door and looked at me.
"I swear I will kill you if you come near me with it.”
"It's gone.” I chuckled. She came out glaring at me. I chuckled again and she hit me.
"You’re a jerk.”
"Aww baby don’t be like that.” She flipped me off and went into the bathroom. I laughed again and went to get cleaned up.
Damien! I heard Damon scream through our link.
Yeah? I answered.
What the hell? I’ve been trying to get through for an hour.
We're fine just playing around.
Who?
Me and Joy. She's starting to relax.
That’s good. Link me when you’re on your way back. He said before cutting off the link.
I went to get dressed. I had a lot of things to do for our dinner. I hope she likes everything. I haven’t been on a date in years, I cant believe that I was actually nervous. What was she doing to me?
