Damon's POV:
                          
It wasn't easy for me. She was the one I love but she wasn't my mate. She was my brother's mate. I couldn't do this to my brother. It's not in our hands to set up mates for ourselves. I even spent the night with her. If I were my brother, I would've killed myself by now. I needed to tell Alice. I needed to make her understand.
                          
"Alice, All you need to give him time. Please for me. I know him very closely. He looks cruel but he has a soft heart. Trust me. Please, You can do it for me. I will always be your friend. I will always have your back. You won't lose me ever. I fucking promise you that." I combed my fingers through her hair while her head rested on my chest. It was hard for me to let her go too. But it will be fine if I'll stay close to her. I kissed her forehead. 
                          
"Damon, Explain to me what exactly is mate?" She looked in my eyes.
                          
"Mate is like our other half. If we have a mate, we can heal fast. Our connection is so strong that we can communicate with each other through the mind. The bond gets stronger by the time as we mark each other." I didn't break the eye contact.
                          
"What mark?" Her hands were too cold so I rubbed them between mine.
                          
"You know as in bite." I looked at her hands.
                          
"Damon, can't I be your mate? Why him?" Is she stupid? Well, I wish I could choose her as my mate.
                          
"We can't decide on our mates Alice. He likes you and you like him, why don't you agree now?" I was now confused because I couldn't explain more.
                          
"Okay, Damon. I am going to give him time. But you won't leave my side." She leaned into me. 
                          
"Okay. I will help you." She leaned over me as I lay on my back. Her face was too close to me.
                          
"Don't you wanna kiss me goodbye?" She whispered in my ear.
                          
"Of course, Alice." She kissed my lips slowly. I grabbed her ass pulling her closer to me. I slipped my tongue in her mouth to gather her taste. I gave a little squeeze to her ass and she moaned into my mouth. I swear that was a turn on for me. I pulled out and rolled her over so she was underneath me. 
                          
"If you'll moan again, I swear I'm going to fuck you right now." I huskily whispered in her ear.
                          
"I'm sorry, Mr. Knight." She replied back. I kissed her again and got up from the bed.
                          
"Daren is calling me to his office. I told a maid to serve you. She will be here by now. If you need anything just tell her." I walked towards the door.
                          
"How do you know that he is calling you?" She asked as she sat up on the bed.
                          
"Told ya, its mind link, babe. See ya." I walked out.
                          
Alice's POV:
                          
He left me in thoughts. His words were revolving in my mind again and again. Did he wait for me? Mate is like the other half? The more I thought about it the more I got confused. I like Daren. It's not that I hate him but he looks like he won't treat me properly. But if Damon can guarantee it...........
                          
"Luna, Alpha sent it for you." The voice made me snapped out of thoughts.
                          
"Huh?" She bowed to me. 
                          
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't bow in front of me. I am not a king or something." I scolded her.
                          
"But you are Luna. I dare no disrespect." She was looking on the floor not me.
                          
"Who is Luna actually?" I asked her. God, I bet I look like a fool asking too many questions.
                          
"Alpha's mate is Luna. And she is also a leader of the pack."
                          
"Are you telling me I am a leader of 1500 Wolves?" My eyes widen. She bowed and left the tray beside me leaving the room. I heard a manly chuckled. I looked at the door and Daren was standing there.
                          
"Are you really that shocked? Luna?" Daren walked over to me.
                          
"Listen, Mr. Alpha. Don't call me Luna and I am not shocked. It was just.................shocking." I rolled my eyes.
                          
"Of course, It must be." He smiled and sat beside me. He picked the tray from the table and put it in his lap.
                          
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
                          
"You must be hungry. And you cannot eat with your right hand, can you?" I was hungry. He was right about hand too.
                          
"But I can manage to eat on my own." I stubbornly replied. He didn't reply and start feeding me. There were bacon and eggs with orange juice. He put a piece of bacon in my mouth.
                          
"It's delicious. My mom.....umm......no......nothing. I thought I knew this taste somewhere before but no." I shouldn't talk about people who abandoned me.
                          
 "What about your mom? huh?" He asked me curiously.
                          
"Nothing. I don't wanna talk about it." I said taking a sip of juice from the glass.
                          
"Sharing can make you feel better. Tell me. What happened to your parents?" He asked softly. Well I think it's okay to give him a chance.
                          
"I don't want to talk about people who abandoned me. I was ten when I was abandoned by my parents. I lived with my friend. Alec. His family was so sweet to me. Then he left as well I moved to New York. That's all." I tried not to be sad. Where was Alec? We never met each other after high school. Daren put the tray aside as I finished my glass and pulled me in a hug. 
                          
"I am so sorry, Alice. I am really sorry." I didn't move nor I pulled out.
                          
"What are you sorry for?" I sadly asked. He doesn't need to be sorry. His warmth was so comforting.
                          
"I am sorry I wasn't there for you then." He rubbed my back and I was shocked by his words. Why hell he had to say it? Was he that into me? Does he really care about me? Fuck, should I be flattered? I wiped my tear before it could fall. He pulled out from hug.
                          
"Now your treatment." He snapped and the maid came in with another tray. She bowed and Daren grabs the tray from her hands. She took the tray from earlier and she was about to leave the room when her hand slipped and the tray fell down. She quickly picked up the broken pieces but Daren got up and slapped across her face making me gasp. 
                          
"Are your hands not work properly? If you want to live pick it all up and get the fuck out." He yelled at her. Before He could slap her again I called him.
                          
"Daren, Are you insane? How can you slap a maid? Look at her face. You merciless monster." I screamed at him meanwhile the maid left the room. Daren quietly came back on sat beside me. I just looked at him scared. He was sure merciless. How can he have a soft heart? He was acting like a monster. He unwrapped my bandage from hand and took a hot warm towel to clean my hands off. His moves were so soft so I couldn't felt pain. When he put on medicine I flinch because of that little pain I felt. A hiss left my lips and he stopped and flinch as well. What the hell? Does he have a split personality disorder? He slapped maid for just slip of a tray and now he flinched feeling my pain. He is insane I am telling he does have a split personality disorder. He changed my bandages and got up.
                          
"Finally they are done. Now get some rest and if you need anything just call me. You just have to say my name." Why would I? How will he hear my call? 
                          
He bit his wrist again to suck out mouthful blood and I flinch. Why doesn't he feel any pain? I remembered our previous kiss in the car. He showed me his wrist and I saw his bite healed like there was no mark there at all. My mouth hung open when he placed his mouth on mine. A strange but warm liquid slowly ran down my throat and I clenched hard on his shirt. He pulled out but I didn't open my eyes yet bite my lower lip. After a while, I opened my eyes and he was gone.
                          
 I don't want to see his reaction or expression. I touched my lips where his lips were a while ago. How his lips will feel like on my pussy? What the fuck is wrong with me? What the hell was I thinking? I lay down and drift off to sleep. 
                          
I felt so fluffy beside me when My eyes open. I looked beside me and it was a wolf. It licked my face while I screamed loudly and fell off the bed.
