Chapter 7

• Damon
• The drive home was long and quiet. Jasper kept throwing questionable looks at me from the mirror, but I ignored them, looking away.
• We were almost home. I could smell it.
• I relaxed further into my chair, slowly sipping the champagne from the cup as I get myself lost in thoughts.
• There was only one thing that clouded my mind. The strange girl.
• What was her name again? Aurora? It had to be that.
• Judging from her scent, she didn't smell like an Omega, neither did she smell like a rogue. She had no wolf either. It was difficult to tell who she was. But I could swear I caught a powerful scent in her. My nose doesn't deceive me.
• If she had a powerful scent in her, why was she reduced to work as a maid.
• I could tell she was no maid. She was just forced to be one.
• It had to be the Alpha's daughter, the annoying slut that kept throwing seductively looks my way and touching herself.
• Goddess, I hate that girl.
• She should be grateful I didn't stab her slim fingers and her eyes with a fork.
• Thanks to Aurora's scent that calmed my troubled mind.
• Aurora. I liked the way it sounded. So innocent, so charming.
• There was something about her that caught my attention. I couldn't place my hand on it yet.
• Maybe it was the way she was manipulated. I knew that bitch had a hand on putting fear in her and forcing her to be a maid.
• She thought I didn't see her glaring at Aurora. Her jealousy flooded the room.
• The Alpha should be disappointed at his daughter's lack of dignity.
• She thought I was deaf to the clearing of her throat that indicated that Aurora should leave yet.
• To even think that she almost humiliated Aurora in the presence of everyone.
• Good thing left in time or I swear, I would have ripped that annoying bitch to pieces.
• Aurora.
• I couldn't help but notice the look on her face when I told her to leave.
• Though I felt alone in her absence, but I was happy. The hall seemed like a bondage. I had to let her go.
• Her eyes were so beautiful and unique, I could stare at them forever.
• I raised my palm to my nose, shutting my eyes to inhale her scent before they vanish once more.
• Good thing I touched her.
• The scent of peach, lavender and vanilla made my mouth watered. I had to bite my lips to stop a pur.
• But a frown settled on my face when a picture of her face flashed in my head.
• She looked like she had been hit. Someone slapped her hard repeatedly.
• Anger suddenly filled me at the realization that she was maltreated.
• Why would they abuse her? Where were her parents?
• Wait.
• What was wrong with me? Why did I feel concerned about some girl I saw for the first time?
• What was it about this girl that I couldn't let go off my head? She even made me say thank you twice. I had never said thank you in donkey years.
• Fuck!
• I needed a distraction. I needed something to take my mind off her.
• "We are home, my king," Jasper announced, driving into the garage.
• I didn't even realized we've gotten to the castle.
• "Is there something bothering you? You've been acting strange…"
• "I need every detail about that girl from the pack. Don't leave a crumb out of it,"
• "But Alpha?"
• "You are dismissed," I interrupted him, walking away and ignoring his creased brow.
• I know he feels that I'm going crazy. I feel the same too.
• Several days later.
• "Alpha, everything you need to know about Aurora is in your mail," Jasper communicated via mind-link.
• I hastened my steps to my office as a dark smile twisted on my lips.
• "Come to Daddy, Aurora,"
