Damon:
I froze for a moment as I processed the situation that I was in before allowing myself to digest what just happened as Lysandra rushed out of the room, wanting to be anywhere but by my side.
“Lysandra, wait!” I called, catching up to her and grabbing her arm. She yanked it free, spinning around with tears streaming down her face. Her anger could be seen a mile away, to the point where I knew that things were not going to be ending well if they proceeded to go the way that they were. “Let me explain…”
“You!” she screamed, her voice trembling with both anger and heartbreak. “You lied to me! You rejected her, huh? That’s your excuse? You rejected her but still slept with her? You f*****g slept with that thing and chose to play the game of innocent?”
“I didn’t plan for this!” I snapped, my frustration taking over my actions as I looked at the anger that she was throwing at me. “I never wanted it to happen this way!”
“No, you didn’t plan it. You just used her, didn’t you? And now she’s back with YOUR CHILD!” She yelled, pushing me back as tears streamed down her face. Her heart raced and her hands shook, and though she was crying, I could tell that she was still doing her best to keep herself calm. “That baby is YOURS, Damon. And you’ve been lying to me this whole time, pretending like you cared about us, about me! You made me question everything that I did. For months I wondered what I did wrong…”
“It turns out that it was YOU who chose to play me!” She yelled as she tightened the grip of her fists. “It was you who was choosing to treat me like some f*****g fool, and here I was…”
“I rejected her for you, Lysandra. For you! I thought I was doing the right thing!” I said, taking a deep breath as I did my best to control my wolf, who was threatening to spiral out on her. I didn't want this to happen. I didn't even expect things to take this turn, and yet, here I was. Because of that damn Omega, I'm dealing with this.
But I knew that my wolf did not want her, and now with a baby involved, I knew that controlling him was going to be harder. He was just going to want to claim his right over this baby. A baby that should have never been.
She let out a bitter laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “The right thing? That’s hilarious, Damon. You rejected her, but you couldn’t keep your hands off her, could you? And now there’s a baby involved. A baby that’s yours.”
“There’s no guarantee the child is mine!” I yelled, my voice coming out louder than I intended for it to as I tried to lie, even to myself. “Yes, I slept with her, but it was one time. It doesn’t mean…”
“We both know the truth.” She said, stopping me. “Stop lying to yourself. That baby is yours, and deep down, you know it. But you know what, Damon? It doesn’t matter anymore. Because I’m done. I am not going to be with a man who played me like some fool. I am not going to look at a person who played me as if I was nothing more than some…”
“Lysandra…”
“No!” She snapped, wiping the tears that fell on her face, “You wouldn’t even touch me for months, and now I know why. I stood by your side when everyone doubted me, when everyone doubted YOU, and look where it got me.”
“Don’t act like you didn’t do it for my position,” I said coldly, looking her dead in the eye. “You wanted to be the Alpha’s Luna, not my partner. You never cared…”
I froze when she slapped me. I looked away from her as my wolf snarled, but I knew not to react; I knew to keep him in check.
