Leaving without goodbye

Clara

After the weird looking vampires leave, I am left confused, more than I have ever been. What did my father ever do to Damien and his family to end up being their greatest enemy? What does my father hate vampires so much? What on earth happened between these two kinds of beings?

Damien turns and walks back towards the house without saying anything. Is he mad at me or mad at the vampires that just left? Does he dislike me since he has found out that I am his enemies daughter?

I look down at the ground and wonder what I should do know. I must be a really big problem to this place. The slim vampire with a hawkish nose was right. If he finds out that I am living with his enemy then nothing will be able to calm his rage, especially if he finds out that he is my mate.

Damien just left. Everything was going great. I just got him, and now I can feel like he is a so far away. I feel so small. I just feel like laying down on the ground and curl up into a ball so that I can be as small as possible.

"Dear," Victoria says while walking to me. She looks sad, not the jolly woman in that made me breakfast a few hours ago. Does she still like me?

She reaches me and pays on my shoulder.

"Don't mind them. They are just rogues who just roam about causing trouble," she tells me with a smile. I know she is trying to make me feel better, but all they said is the truth.

"Let's go back inside," she says and I nod. She put her hand on my shoulder and walks me back into the house. In my mind, all I can think about is Damien. Does she want to see me again after this?

I start planning what I should do when I reach inside. I don't have anything of mine in this house. I will just look for a way out of this house without informing anybody. When I get into the woods, I will transform into my wolf and run back home.

Everything will go back to normal. Father will not attack the vampires and everyone will be safe. Damien will not have to worry about the safety of his family and there will be world peace. Isn't that what everybody wants?

I walk up the stairs hoping that I will run into Damien but I don't find him. I surprisingly get back to his bedroom, which had become ours for a few hours. This was all too good to be true.

I really wish I knew what the hell really happened between the two. Maybe I would have a wise resolution to this other than running away. I am having second thoughts about staying and looking for Damien so that we can talk about it. Maybe he could explain everything to me. He could assure me how much he needs and then I wouldn't have to leave with a broken heart.

After my dad was mentioned, I haven't been able to rest thinking about what could happen the next minute if he should up here to look for me. j just feel like it could happen the next minute. I feel like every second I spend in this house is a count down to disaster. I need to go away.

I remove the dress I have been wearing and fold it slowly, hoping that Damien will walk in and find me naked. We could make out and he would convince me not to leave. Just one touch from him will be enough to stop me.

I place the dress on the bed and walk to the window. It is not such a great height from here to the ground. I transform quickly and jump out of the window. Luckily, I make a safe landing. I feel a prisoner escaping, moreso, I feel like a thief. I know I look ridiculous pacing about the house to make sure no one has seen me.

After confirming that the coast is clear, I dash into the woods without looking back. My wolf just find through the woods following my I instincts to make sure I don't get lost. I hope these woods are connected to my Pack's territory.

After running some good distance, I start walking. My wolf wants to be with her mate. She doesn't care if there is something that is wrong. The mate bond just doesn't take excuses. I can do this. Once, I get home, everything will get back to normal, I keep telling myself so that I don't make a turn and run back to Damien.

I reach the stream that runs between my pack and the Full moon pack. I follow it until I start sending home. I am almost there. I start running until I spot the park house. I'm home. I suddenly feel the urge of running into my bed and cuddling with my pillow and cry out all my sorrow.

I find my clothes are still be here I left them. I transform into my human self and put on the clothes. Good thing it didn't rain last night or else I would be putting on wet clothes.

I walk out of the woods to the pack house. Everything seems normal. I guess no one had noticed yet that I was missing. I walk through the the main room looking around for something new. The preparations for Jason's engagement this weekend are still going on. Nothing looks strange.

I meet Eric, my father's Beta, coming out of my father's office. He is a charming men, unlike my father. At some point, he hoped I could turn out to be his son's mate, but that felt just awkward.

"Clara. How are you?" he says with a fatherly smile covering his face.

"I am fine, Eric," I reply with a forced smile. I don't think I am any where near fine

"That's great. Actually, I am from meeting your father. He asked me to call for you. You can pass by his office," he says.

"Okay, I will do that," I respond and he says goodbye before leaving. You see that! We hold our father-daughter meeting in his office like work partners! Ugh!

I hope he didn't notice that I slept out tonight. I know that I am a grown woman who is supposed to be independent but my father makes me feel like a sixteen year-old girl over and over again!

I enter his office and find him looking through some files. I start packing. Does he know the truth? Does he know that I have a vampire mate? I stop myself from going anywhere further into my thoughts because he has the ability to mind link me.

"You called for me, father?" I say, and he looks up at me. His stern gaze making me shiver. I feel very guilty of a crime I am not sure I committed.

"You know that your brother's engagement party is this weekend, right?" he says while getting up from his sit

"Yes, I know that," I reply.

"You have to get yourself prepared. I have invited some eligible bachelors, unmated Alpha's. I am sure you will be able to find your mate this time," he says and his face cracks into a small smile. Why doesn't he understand that you don't have to schedule a meeting so as to find your mate. Fate just brings you together. You don't have to force fate.

"I already found my mate, dad," I tell him and his eyes widen in shock.

"You what?" he asks me.

"I already found my mate. You don't have to bother yourself anymore," I reply.

"And you never told me about it?"

"I am telling you now."

"Who is he? Which pack does he belong to?" he asks me with a dead serious look on his face. I swallow hard. I know he would find out eventually even if I don't tell him, but I would rather be hears it from me.

"I just met him, dad. I don't know that much about him. Just give us some time. I will tell you eventually but not now. You should just attend to Jason's event. I will tell you when time comes. I promise," I respond. He looks at me for a moment as if he is giving it a thought.

"If he isn't some coward man, he should come and introduce himself to me soon. I don't want my daughter to be with someone who doesn't want to associate with me," he finally says.

I wish you knew, father. I just wish you knew my mate is your worst nightmare and he can't stand your presence for a mere second!

Luckily, I get out of my father's office without having a break down. I run to my room and close the door. I don't want anyone to interfere with my situation. I just want to be alone.

I collapse onto my bed and curl with a pillow. I don't have to keep it in anymore. I can let it all out now. I can't believe everything that just happened! Everything happened so fast. One minute I was in Damien's embrace and the next one, he was walking away from me.

I blame my father for having done whatever he did to Damien. Maybe all this wouldn't have happened. Right now I could be with Damien, in my happy place. Tears start welling in my eyes and then start flowing down freely. I can't control them. I don't want to stop them.
