Falling for Alpha Damon

Tara is my mate

Damon Pov

I am glad to see how she fights, she really is a good fighter and is quick too, she stabs him in the stomach and starts to look at the two rogues, I think this brings back bad memories for her, I know she won’t be able to kill him.

But I will, I won’t let them leave after attacking my mate, I asked them to leave while they could because I didn’t want Tara to go back to the day she hates the most, the day her father died.

But rogues are stubborn and always out for blood, so I put on some shorts and kill the bastards without blinking, when I turn to Tara but she looks frightened, before I can say something her brother and the warriors come.

On our way back home, my mate doesn't spare me a glance. she is walking close to her brother, her head on his shoulder from time to time.

I have to talk to her, does she see me as a monster like the others too?

I can’t bear her being scared of me, I really wouldn’t want that, After dinner,

Elijah and I go to his office

“ Elijah you should have told me all this sooner,”

“I know man, but I wasn’t sure, now I am, he wants my sister and our land,” he says, I can't suppress a growl

“No one Is taking Tara,” I say seriously using my alpha voice, my wolf is mad, he wants to find that man and kill him, stupid Alpha rogue.

“Damon I’ll protect my sister” he reassures me, I have to tell him now “thank you for protecting her today,”

“Elijah, I have been wanting to tell you something, Tara is my mate,” I finally say to him at last, he gets up from his chair abruptly.

“What?” he asks in disbelief, I don’t know what he is thinking but he takes his seat back and lets out a breath.

“She doesn’t know, does she?” he says almost looking pitiful, I have to tell her soon. “I don’t know what to say congrats, I guess” I wasn’t expecting him to act like this, he has always been so protective of her and I thought this will almost start a conflict or maybe he knows going to war with me isn’t the best thing right now.

“Are you ok?” I ask trying to read his expression

“No,” he says honestly and I give him a confused look “Damon, you’re my friend, I know you,” he says sighing “ Tara acts tough but deep down she’s very fragile, I just don’t want my baby sister to get hurt,” I understand him

“I’ll never hurt Tara, I’ll protect her with my life and all I have,” I promise him “she Is my life now Elijah,” I know I have been with a lot of women but ever since I saw Tara, things have changed, I don't want any other woman now, I know I have been with several but that was only to satisfy my s****l desire.

“I know because, for starters, I haven’t seen Tiffany, she’s always following you around, your main w***e,” I chuckle, indeed, she's always around me, I ordered her not to follow when I was coming here.

“ you know about her wolf right? Victoria said once she’s marked it will come back but I don’t even think she’ll want to hear about mating because of you know ..what I've told you,"

“I know and I don’t care, I’ll wait as long as possible, I swear I’ll only mate and mark her with her permission,” he nods with a smile.

“Does that mean you want to take her?” he looks down sad, he has also protected Tara

“I have to, she’s Luna of the blood moon and I know she’ll make a good one,” I tell him with a smile and he nods as we discuss further.

As for college, she will be going just there in the blood moon with Colt. She will have people watching her 24/7 if Colt, Lexi, Isaac, and I are not there with her.

“I have to talk to her, I think I scared her when I killed those men,” I leave the office to go to her room, I knock twice and hear a come in but I don’t what to, what if I scare her again.

I hear footsteps approaching and the door opens, she looks taken back at first,u she smells so good, I keep my distance and keep my head down so she doesn’t think of me as a threat.

“Damon,” she breathes, I stand there looking for what to say but the truth is that I don't know.

“Tara, Tara I …. The forest I didn’t mean to scare you,” I finally get the words out, am acting like a teenager. And my head was still on the ground.

“I know, am sorry for acting the way I did it,” she says coming close to me, her warm hands on my neck leaving sparks where she touches, I know she felt that too.

“I shouldn’t have done that Tara especially with you around." She touches me again making me look up, she shakes her head

“No you did what was supposed to be done Damon, he’s right am weak,” are you kidding me? she took down two wolves in her human form, it’s very rare, those rogues have fully realized wolves with way more experience than her.

“You’re not weak Tara, You’re the strongest girl I know,"

“Mommy,” A small boy with black curly hair comes out of the room, my mate smiles brightly at the young boy, it’s been a while since I saw a child. He is even wearing a stud on his left ear. I didn’t know she had a son, this is big.

“ You have a son?” I ask in a low tone, she smiles at me and tells me to go to her room.

“ let me tell Margret to give him some food,” she goes downstairs, holding the child like the most precious thing in the world, I can’t help the smile that comes on my face.

I get into her room, it's very nice with a door leading to the balcony, across the bed there is a huge door, leading to maybe the bathroom, I smile, there is also a huge flat-screen TV, they were watching cartoons, I sigh reading the title, paw patrol.

Minutes later Tara walks into the room, sitting on the sofa, I join her it’s quiet for a while.

“The boy is my brother’s son, Alex,” she says with a gentle smile, I nod, yes I know Elijah has a son.

“Mum?” I ask, her smile deflates to a sad one.

“she died when he was little, Am the only mum he knows, it’s better this way, no questions about why don’t I have a mum and stuff?” she shrugs her shoulders lightly.

“But you know he'll have to know the truth right?” I ask

“yes, not now, Alex is only four,” I nod, they know what's best for the kid, I guess.

“What if you have to leave?“ I ask her, I don’t mind having the boy around but I don’t think Elijah would let that happen.

“I travel with him, I would never leave Alex and my brother,” she tells me holding a yawn and leaning on my shoulder. Okay, this is going to be harder than I thought. I have to talk to Elijah but it’s already late, he must be resting now.

Tara is sleepy, I carry her to the bed luckily she’s already in a big shirt, she can sleep in that. I set her down and cover her with a blanket.

“Don’t leave, stay with me, I don’t want to be here alone tonight,” she mutters, I immediately oblige, taking off my shirt and lying in bed with her, holding her tightly, I know tonight's events will replay in her head.

I hold her close as we drift off to sleep before kissing her temple.
