Chapter 28
Damon’s POV
Arriving at the Crescent Crimstone Pack, we walked straight to the Alpha’s palace. The moment we stepped inside, I felt the weight of their gazes- especially the Luna’s.
She barely hid the hunger in her eyes, he
gaze raking over me as if she wanted to strip the clothes from my body right then and there.
I couldn’t blame her. Lust was a curse I had carried my entire life. It wasn’t just my looks that drew women in–it was the raw pull of my power
My curse.
But she was another man’s woman. No matter how much lust drove me, I would not fuck another Alpha’s mate.
I looked away, focusing on the reason we were here. We discussed the engineer we needed for the pack’s defenses, and he informed me that they would arrive tomorrow. That meant we would have to stay the night, something I wasn’t particularly thrilled about.
Not because of politics or comfort.
Because of my curse.
Lust burned in my veins, a relentless hunger that I constantly fought to control. If I gave in, it would be easy–too easy–to claim any woman I wanted. But if I resisted too long, the power would leak into the atmosphere, affecting everyone around me.
And if that happened…
People would start fucking each other uncontrollably.
A fucking disaster. That’s hilarious yet terrifying at the same time.
Declan stood beside me, exchanging pleasantries- or at least he was trying to. He looked constipated while speaking to the Alpha. Diplomatic meetings weren’t his thing. He would rather fight or rip someone to shreds.
I, on the other hand, scanned the room. I needed to find someone–anyone–who was worthy of sating my hunger. If I didn’t, I would have to endure the night in agony, suppressing the energy inside me.
My gaze flickered back to the Luna.
No. No fucking way.
A woman like her didn’t deserve my body. She was just a desperate slut lusting after me, already trembling before I had even released my power. If she couldn’t control herself now, she wouldn’t last a second if I let my lust take over.
No, I needed better.
Someone stronger, Someone who could match me.
“Damon,” Declan’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. “The Alpha is asking us to follow him.”
I nodded, forcing myself to focus as the Alpha led us down a long corridor. He gestured to a set of rooms. “You’ll be staying here tonight.”
Declan and I exchanged a glance before nodding.
As soon as I entered my room, I mind–linked Damien. We’re settled. The engineers will arrive tomorrow.
Good, Damien replied/ How’s Declan?

I glanced at the door separating our rooms. He’s fine. Resting.
Our mind–link was different from regular werewolves. Unlike normal packs that could only communicate within a certain range, we could reach each other no matter where we were in the world.
The moment I severed the connection, a knock sounded at my door.
Declan entered, arms crossed, his sharp eyes studying me. “I hope you aren’t thinking of feeding your lust with the Luna.”
I scoffed. “She’s throwing herself at me.
. That’s not lust at work–that’s just desperation.”
Declan smirked. “So she’s not worthy of
fbedding y
you, then?”
“Not even close.”
Declan leaned against the doorframe, watching me. “You look like shit. Have you been sleeping at all?”
I exhaled through my nose, running a hand through my hair. “I’ll rest when we get back. You should, too.”
He shrugged. “It’s not that bad. Besides, I haven’t even used my power in the last few days.”
I didn’t answer right away. I knew he was lying.
We both had our burdens to bear.
I exhaled heavily, rubbing my forehead. “Get some rest, Declan. Tomorrow will be a long day.”
Declan studied me for a moment before nodding. “You too.”
He turned and left, closing the door behind him.
I ran a hand through my hair, my body tense with frustration. Lust was clawing at me, burning under my skin like wildfire. I clenched my fists, forcing myself to breathe steadily.
A few minutes passed, and just when I thought I could get some peace, a soft knock echoed through the room.
I already knew who it was before I even opened the door.
The Luna.
She leaned against the doorway, her robe slightly open, revealing smooth, bare skin underneath. Her lips curled into a knowing smile.
“I saw the way you looked at me, Damon,” she purred. “You don’t have to hold back.”
sighed, rubbing my jaw. “Go back to your mate, Luna. You’re not worthy of my time.”
Her smile faltered for a moment before she stepped closer, pressing her hands against my chest. “I won’t tell if you don’t. You need a release, don’t you?” Her breath was hot against my skin. “Let me help you.
Something dark twisted in my chest.
Lust flared violently, but instead of drawing me to her, it recoiled. Hell, even my curse wanted nothing to do with her.
I grabbed her wrists and pushed her away with more force than necessary. “You’re annoying” My voice was cold. “Get out.”
Her eyes widened in shock before filling with anger. “You-”
I slammed the door in her face.

Disgust curled in my gut. The pathetic way she threw herself at me made my skin crawl,
And yet, the fire in my veins only burned hotter.
I needed someone. Now.
Lust was demanding. It clawed at my mind, gnawing at my restraint. If I didn’t feed this damned curse, it would escape into the atmosphere.
I couldn’t let that happen.
I opened the door, and my eyes landed on a figure moving down the hallway–a maid carrying a tray of food.
Lust stirred instantly.
The moment my gaze locked onto her, I knew she was the one.
Her scent was soft, untouched. She wasn’t throwing herself at me like the Luna. She didn’t even know she was being hunted.
And that made it all the more thrilling.
Before I could think twice, I was moving.
She gasped as I appeared in front of her, her tray clattering to the ground. “M–My Lord?” Her voice trembled.
I tilted her chin up with a finger, watching as her pupils dilated. My power was already seeping into her, bending her to my will.
“You’ll do,” I murmured, running a hand down her throat.
Her breathing hitched, her body already responding to me.
I lifted her easily, carrying her inside and kicking the door shut behind us.
She barely had time to gasp before my lips crashed against hers.
Lust took over.
60%
It was raw. Desperate.
I ripped her clothes, baring her nice soft tits to me, and latched my mouth to it. A flash of Bethany’s round breasts filled my head and I growled with
hunger.
My mate. Fuck, I wanted to touch Bethany so bad, but this maid would have to do.

Her soft moans filled the room as I pushed her onto the bed. I ripped her panties and shrugged off my pants before burying my c
“Oh, my lord!” Her body arched beneath me, her fingers clawing at my back as I claimed her.
She was perfect.
Worthy.
And for the first time that night, the fire in my veins began to ease.
But it wasn’t enough.
It was never enough.
By midnight, My muscles relaxed as I lay beside the trembling maid, her body still weak from exhaustion.

For a moment, I simply enjoyed the silence. I would take her against, of course; I just needed her to catch her breath.
“Damon.”
Declan’s voice pushed into my mind.
I groaned, rubbing my forehead. What now?
‘Something’s wrong.‘ He said. ‘I can sense something dangerous in the pack. Can’t you feel it?‘
I smirked, glancing down at the woman curled against me.
‘No, brother. I’m having one of the best fucks of my
life.‘
Declan cursed. ‘Damon, I’m serious-‘
I shut him out.
Let him deal with it.
Tonight, I had better things to do.
