I did not know what to think when Damon took my hand in his. I did not know what he would do. I simply believed that the two of us were going to walk together.
But this… this was beyond anything that I would have expected.
My legs trembled beneath me.
Hell, I did not even know how I was still standing on my feet.
I had stood through battles before. I had faced rejection, betrayal, humiliation, and yet, nothing prepared me for the weight of standing before an entire pack, hearing Damon Lockwood speak my name as if it were sacred. As if it belonged to something more than just a shadow of a woman who once begged him to even see her.
“Breathe, Sienna.” He whispered, looking down at me when he saw that I was completely frozen, not moving, not knowing how I was going to react.
I couldn't.
