Alpha Damon novel Chapter 104

Damon:

Sienna had left the job.

That alone should have made me feel better. Should have eased the tension in my chest knowing she wouldn’t be walking into another trap set by Giovanni, or sitting in a room where every corner was controlled by his influence. It should have given me a sense of comfort knowing that she was safe within the pack with our daughter.

But it didn’t.

Because now she was locking herself in.

Retreating.

Hiding.

And that wasn’t her.

No matter how hard she wanted to convince others that she was alright, I knew that she was not.

The Sienna I knew, the Sienna I was beginning to fall in love with all over again, had fire in her veins. She had walked into this house after everything she’d been through and refused to bow. She’d stood in front of me after giving birth, after being pushed out, after being dragged back into a pack that treated her like she didn’t belong, and she still fought.

Knew that she was still willing to fight. She was going to try and prove a point not only to me, but to herself. But now?

She was quiet.

And I hated that silence more than anything.

I hated seeing her in her situation more than anything else, and I could tell that both my parents felt the same way. Their eyes on her, the way that they studied her, the way that my mother tried to get her to go out. I could tell that she knew that Sienna was locking herself up.

It wasn’t about her job anymore. It was what Giovanni did to her. How he got into her head. How he made her feel small again. Like she didn’t belong. Like she was someone who could be manipulated. Like she was someone who could cause more danger than good. Like he could threaten our daughter the way he did.

No. Not again.

This was not something that I was going to allow.

Instead, we went to the main boardroom just beyond the glass wall.

And there she was.

Lysandra.

Her legs crossed, manicured fingers tapping against the armrest of the leather chair, designer dress hugging her like she owned the room. She looked up and smiled when she saw me.

The moment she saw Sienna walking beside me… that smile twisted.

“Well,” she purred, “what a surprise. I didn’t know that we were bringing pets over today.”

“Lysandra,” I said flatly. “We won’t take long. This is a formality. And I would suggest that you respect yourself and mind your limits when you speak about my Luna.”
