“The blood moon pack is trying to stage a conquest against smaller packs. What are we going to do about it?” My father uttered as he sat in front of me in my office. 

I hadn’t expected him to show up since he had been giving me the cold shoulder since that whole beef with Clara happened. 

“Easy, kill off the Blood moon pack Alpha and take the smaller packs for ourselves” I muttered and he glared at me. 

“Damon” He called out and I rolled my eyes. 

“Relax, I’m just joking” I muttered and he scoffed. 

“It wasn’t funny and I can never tell when you’re joking” He muttered and I rolled my eyes again. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“We should exact our authority on the blood moon pack but if the Alpha still decides to go against us then we’ll strike him and put someone else who listens” I muttered and he nodded slowly. 

“Good. What about if we are being attacked by invaders? How will you handle that?” He questioned and I groaned. 

“Old man, I’m not doing this quiz with you. I’m busy with work” I muttered and he sighed then went quiet while I went ahead with my work. 

“Have you settled with Clara now?” He questioned and I paused before turning to him. 

“Why are you asking?” I questioned. 

“Because I can see it on your face. You don’t look as stressed and tired as before” He murmured and I rolled my eyes. 

“Yeah sure, we have settled our differences” I muttered. 

“You do know your actions towards her were wrong right? You should never put your mate in such a position. I couldn’t even bear to cheat on your mother. I cannot be attracted to any other woman than your mother” He uttered and I sighed. 

“All that matters is that Clara and I are better now. We should leave the past in the past” I murmured. 

“If you keep acting this way towards her, you’re going to lose her and by that time you can’t get her back” He muttered as he stood up. 

“Father” I called out when he was already at the door and he slowly turned to me. 

“What is it, son?” He questioned and I pursed my lips. 

“How much can your feelings be influenced by your wolf?” I murmured and he raised an eyebrow. 

“In what sense? Love?” He questioned and I shrugged. 

“I don’t know, maybe? I find myself craving her presence. I find myself wanting to protect her and I find myself wanting to make her happy. I shouldn’t be feeling this way” I murmured and he frowned. 

“And why do you say so? What’s so wrong in feeling the way you’re feeling?” He questioned and I sighed. 

“I’m trying to protect her, Father. You know what I was and you know I have a lot of enemies. If she ends up becoming my weakness, not only is she going to be used as bait but she’ll make me weak. I don’t want that, I never wanted that” I muttered and he stared at me for a

“Son, love cannot be fought. If you end up falling for her and she becomes your weakness then it’s not a bad thing. Being in love and being loved is the most beautiful feeling ever. And as for the earlier question, your wolf does influence your emotions and feelings but only because you are feeling the same way as he is. If you weren’t then he won’t be able to influence you” He muttered then flashed me a smile before walking out of the room and I sat there in silence for a while before sighing. 

Just then, my phone rang and the name I saved Clara’s name with ‘Little Devil‘ popped up on the screen and I smiled unintentionally. 

“She can’t do without me. So obsessed” I murmured before picking up the phone and pressing it on my ear. 

“What do you want? I’m busy” I muttered and it felt like I could see her rolling her eyes. 

“Come home” She uttered and those words made me feel so weird inside as my heart skipped a beat. 

“Why? You miss me?” I teased. 

“Yes, come home” She murmured and I sucked in my breath. I hadn’t expected her to admit it, I had expected an insult or a comeback. 

“Is everything okay?” I questioned and couldn’t even hide the worry in my voice. Why was she suddenly acting so weird? 

“We promised to act like husband and wife to each other right? So I’m trying to act like a wife now. Come home” She repeated and I sighed. 

“No, I’m busy” I uttered then ended the call. As soon as I did that, I rang for Luca as I stood up from my seat. 

Luca walked in immediately and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw me putting on my suit. 

“Is something wrong? You’re leaving?” He questioned and I nodded. 

“Take care of everything else. I’ll get the documents signed tomorrow” I murmured then picked up my phone as I walked towards the door. 

“Where are you going?” He questioned before I could walk out. 

“Home to my wife” I muttered before walking out of the office with a smile. 

On my way back home, I couldn’t help but think about the worst of this. Even if Clara missed me, she would never say it out like that. Our relationship wasn’t built like that so was something wrong? 

When I got home, I rushed towards the house expecting to see the worse but Clara wasn’t in the living room. 

I was about to call out her name when I smelt something delicious coming from the kitchen. I checked my time and it wasn’t time for dinner yet so what was going on? 

I was about to ask questions when Clara walked out of the kitchen with an Apron wrapped around her body which was stained with flour and so was her face. 

She looked up and a smile immediately appeared on her face as she walked towards me. 

“You are here” She uttered as she stopped in front of me and seeing her this way gave me that weird feeling again. She looked like a typical 

wife. 

“I said I wasn’t coming” I murmured and she grinned. 

“I’ve understood our relationship. We usually don’t say what we really mean” She murmured then grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the dining room.

“Come and eat my food” She murmured and I couldn’t help but smile at how excited she was. 

This weird feeling, why was I liking it?…
